ylor. This was a most important victory. The enemy lost at least twenty thousand men, and would have lost his whole army and the fleet that operated with it but for the want of vigor in following up the blow. Next came our successes in North Carolina, especially that at Washington, in which General Hoke so highly distinguished himself that he was made a major-general for his gallantry. We now come to Grant's great expedition, the object of which was to overwhelm Lee in the upper counoad. In these attempts they were thwarted by the skill and gallantry of General Pickett, who, with vastly inferior forces, succeeded not only in holding Petersburg and the railroad until the arrival of General Beauregard with his forces from North Carolina, but in repulsing them and inflicting a severe loss upon them.--General Pickett added greatly to the renown he had already won at Gettysburg and other hotly contested fields by his success on this occasion. Had he been less firm, less determ

Good sale. --An auctioneer, last week, sold at auction in Wilmington twenty-one Confederate horses that had been condemned. The highest price paid was $1,550, and the lowest $1,000. Several brought $100. The total amount of sales reached $14,049, averaging $6 per head. He also sold a lot of "Nassau" perk for the State of North Carolina at $7 and beef at $4 to $5 per pound.

but promptly suppressed in the others, and the following telegram was substituted for it: Washington, Wednesday, December 28. --It would seem to be a mistake, as reported this morning, that the naval and military fleet has returned from North Carolina to Fortress Monroe. The Navy Department 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 ascerrs pushed up gallantly to the fort under cover of our fire. Some of the more daring actually entered the works and brought off the flag. The bombardment of the fleet continued on Monday. The Santiago de Cuba captured a company of North Carolina soldiers in the outworks and took them off. The Associated Press correspondent at Fortress Monroe telegraphs as follows: I have just arrived here on the Santiago de Cuba from off Wilmington.--The attack on Fort Fisher commenced at n

laid to my charge. On the 18th instant, I sailed from Beaufort with all the monitors, the New Ironsides and the small vessels, including the Louisiana, disguised as a blockade-runner, for the rendezvous, twenty miles east of New inlet, North Carolina, and found all the larger vessels and transports assembled there, the wind blowing light from the northeast. On the 23d, I directed Commander Rhind to proceed and explode the vessel right under the walls of Fort Fisher, Mr. Bradford, of ounted) in one hundred small boats. What the results were is shown in the following correspondence.--There is evidently a row certain between Butler and Porter; General Butler to Admiral Porter.

night and this morning, and left the Confederates masters of the field. 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. Such is the finale of the Christmas campaign of Beast Butler and Admiral Porter. It is not supposed they have wholly abandoned their designs against North and South Carolina; but, for the present, their attack upon Wilmington and its defences is checked and baffled. It is impossible to say what has been the loss of the enemy. We know that a number of his vessels were disabled and two barges, filled with men, blown out of the water; but beyond this we are without information. Weitzel's negro division was not landed, and some of the prisoners report that Butler was at Newbern, while others say he was present before Fort Fisher. We learn from
