It was accidentally published in a Washington evening paper, but promptly supprest has no such intelligence, but that one vessel only yesterday returned to the latter place, bringing dispatches from Admiral Porter. The messenger has not yet reached Washington. It is ascertained from an authentic source, however, date of powder ship was exploded within three hundred yards of Fort Fisher about 2 A. M. on the 24th. Later in the day, Admiral Porter attacked the fort and adjacent defences, and renewed the bombardment on Christmas day. On each occasion we droveg.

It was impossible to cut off-their retreat, as it was difficult to prevent their landing. Both their landing and their withdrawal were covered by the fleet, which came in near shore, and was quite as effective in protecting the movement as a large, well-manned fort.
