Ames' division, effected a lodircnien
upon the parapet, but full possession of
the work, was not obtained till ten
iP- m.
The behavior of both officers and men
was most admirable. All the work
south of Fort Fibber arc now occupied
by our troops. We have not less thin
1,200 prisoners, including Genera
Whiting and Colonel Lamb, the com

that our loss is severe, especially in ofn

f ort Fisher, January 10, 2 a. ni.-
Aftcr a careful reennnoissance on the
14th instant, it was decided to risk an
assault on Fort FisScr. Painc's divi
ion, with Col. Abbott's brigade, woro
ordered to hold our line, already strong,
across the peuinsula, and faciusr Wil
ruington against Hoke, whilst Ames'
drnsioo eliould assault on the west
end.
After three hours of heavy navy fir-
is;;; the assault was made nt three
o'clock p. ni., on the 15th. Curtis1
"brigade led in tho assault, as soon as
was on tno west end ot the land poin
it was toiiowca hy uennypacker s, an
the latter by Bell's, which, after despcr.
ate fighting, gained loot by foot, and
suffered a severe loss..
At 5 p. ru. wo had possession of about
"half the land front. Abbott's brigade
was then taken from our lino facing
"Wilmington and put into Fort Fisher,
and on pushing it forward, at 10 p. m.,
it took the rest of tho work with little
resistance, the garrison falling back to
tho extreme of tho Peninsula, where
they were followed and captured, among
others General Whiting and Colonel
Lamb, both wounded. I think wchave
-quite 2,000 prisoners. I hope our own
loss may not esceed five hundred, but it
is impossible to judge in the night.
Among the wounded are tho com
manders of three leading brigades, Gen-
oral Curtis being woundod, though not
severely, but Cobuelu Ponnypackor and
Hell dangerously.
Tho land front was a formidable on?,
the parapet in places being fourteen or
fifteen feet high, but the men went at it
nobly, undo.' a severe musketry fire.
Tho marines and sailors went up gallant,
ly, but tho musketry from the cast side
of tho land front was so severe they did
jiot succeed in entering tho works,
Tho navy fire on the work, judging
from the holes, must have been terrific.
.Many of the guns were injuicd. How
many there wcro on the front, I cannot
eay perhaps thirty or forty.

Infamous Outrage-
An event, of recent occurrence, in our
county demands from tv, moro than a
passing notice ; and from those in power
speedy punishment. Wo refer to tho
recent outrage committed on tho person
of II. llortou, Esq., of Fox township.
The facts of the case as we gather them aro
as follows.
It Beenis that two brothers,
named respectively, Jacob and James I
Anthony, of Jefferson county, in the .
employ of the Provost Marshal of this
distrct wcro ordered to arrest two mcu,
alleged to be deserters ; this they ac
complished ia the neighborhood of Big
run. near tho line of Clearfield connty,
The men, however, afterwards escaped
from the custody of the Anthony's, andj
secreted themselves about ono tmlo lrom
Ilelleu mills in this county. A poss:
was then sent iuto Brandy C.tmp after
them, accompanied by tho Anthonys,
who re arrested the alleged deserters,
and took them to D. C. Oysters. James
Anthouy, it seems, was then seized with
some qualms of courage peculiar to the
"Uob Acres" species and refused to pro
ceed from Oysters to Kidgway unless
better supplied with firearms ; & irame.
.li.ill.. .ir-lit.iin tlmm in flirt )
most lawless manner. Iu company wii.li
some of the squad, which was nine or;
ten strong, ho proceeded to Mr. Horton's
house in Brandy Camp, arriving there
about 11, p. m. Mr. H. and family
having retired for the night and in an
outrageous, lawless and riotous man.
ncr broke open the home, mid demanded
of Mr. II. all tho fire arms iu his posses
sion." Mr. II. appeared, with a gun
in his hand, and supposing, very natur.
ally, that the party wero a gang of rob
bers, very propeily informed Anthony,
that, if ho did not leave nt once, ho
would receive tho contents of his fire
arm, instead of the weapon; a scufile
thereupon cusuing, during which the
gun was taken from Mr. II., and An
thopy dropped his pocket book, tho
party loft tho place, and returned to
Oysters. There, Authouy. not being
satisfied with having committed one
glaring outrage, determined to commit
others. He demanded a team from
Mrs. Oyster, her son being absent, but
was informed by Mrs. O. that tho horses
wero unfit to travel ; but Anthony say.
ing that ho had authority to take them,
did so, and returned to Mr. Ilortons, iu
the morning. On seeing the party, Mr.
llorton invited them to enter, which
they did ; ho then handed Anthony the
pocket book which ho had found the
previous night. Anthony, having in
spected tho contents, charged Mr. II.
with having stolen five dollars from it;
that chargo being so contemptibly re
diculous, wa pass it by without further
notice. Anthony then put Mr. II, ia
irons and conveyed him to Ojsters in
that condition, and allowed him to re.
main so, for some time ; when ono of the
soldiers, haying a duo regard to law and
justice told Anthony ho was doing wrong
and would bring trouble on nimsclt ;
at tho same time advisiiig him to take
the irons off Mr, II ; to this Anthony re
sponded, "that he would be damned if
he did anything of the kind: that he
would keep him in irons until he arrived
in Washington." The s jldicr, however,
insisting, A uthony's courage again oozed
out of his finger nails, and he gave tho
keys of tho handcuffs to the soldier, tel
liiiLT him to take off the irons ; beiug
himself too oowardly to repair a wrong.
Mr. II. was then net at liberty, aud
Anthouy started to Ilidgway, with the
soldiers.
Tho end was not yet; on bjing releas.
ed Mr. Iljrtou returned home, aud from
thence proceeded to Ridgway, arriving
thero beforo Anthony, aud reported to
tho Provost Marshal, tho events we
have ju.it narrated. Oa Anthonys re
turn, he was severely reprimanded by
Captain Campbell, who, always willing
to make reparation, immediately dischar
ged him : this was ouly rigfit, but a
severer punishment should bo meted
out to him, who, under tho gu'uo of au
officer, leading uieu, swuru to support
the laws of the land, nay, himself so
sworn, wantonly, and after the fashion
of a thief, enters the house of a cit
izen and robs him of his property.
Uufortuuately there aro many James
Anthonys, the refuse scum of humanity,
who, "dressed in a little brief authority,"
assume to themselves prerogatives s uch
as Napoleon, in despotic power, dare
not exercise' Wo have not words in
which to express ourselves iu relation to
this matter, llio "body politio' is
sorely troubled at present: and those to
whom power is given, cannot bo too
careful iu the mcu they select as their
ugeuts, or too prompt iu punishing them
when guilty oj outrage.
Think of it ! a ruffian enters the house
of a peaceable oitizeu and bceauso he
refuses to part with his propsrty, guar
anteed to biui by tho Constitution of tho
Uuitcd States and the State of Pennsyl
vania, is ironed liko a tnalcfactcr, and
nt dead of night hurried from his fami
ly, carried whither they do not know !
Is thero no Btrong arm to protect us ?
Is this man to go unwhipped ol
justice J We demand in the name of
all that is denr to US tne preservation
of our rights; our liberties; of our
country; wo demand in tho namo of all I
good citizens; we demand by virtuo of
their solemn oaths of olhce, that tno
civil authorities take this matter further
in hand, brin" this man to trial and
meto out to him, tho full demands of
justice; that men may know that there
is power enough to save them from such
outrages. In conclusion we say sincere.
ly. that wo acquit the military anthori.
tics, of all blamo whatever iu tins altair ;
they have promptly disavowed it and
made such reparation to Mr. llorton as
lay in their power. As good citizens
themselves, they must desire that An.
thony be punishod as he richly deserves.
It is scarcely necessary for us to say
that we presume Anthony will cense
plnvins MMf ual. at least, in mis county
where he will find indeed, that "the
way of the transgressor ij hard."
If the quota assigned to the 10th
District be not filled by the 15th of

occur.
To all citizens we say, obey tho law

have any grounds, if not put in a substi

strongly upon you. It is. iu tho first

whatever ; further, it is madness and
folly. Shun those who would advise
you to such a course as you would shun

is to bo hoped the rule just adopted will
be an effectual extinguisher of tho
