whose magnitude must be at once acknowledged. The naval and military expedition against Wilmington, under command of Admiral Porter and General Butler, has failed to accomplish its work. It has returned to Fortress Monroe after an absence of two weprecisely as Farragut recently seized those of Mobile. We are enabled to give to-day both the official report of Admind Porter and a statement of General Butler, as well as a special report of our own correspondent with the fleet. Every one wia day. Hardly anything seems to have worked well, from the initiation of the movement to its unfortunate close. Admiral Porter's order to the fleet opens with the words: "It is first proposed to endeavor to paralyze the garrison by an explosionhe bombardment of the fort by the fleet was of the most imposing, skillful, and courageous character: but the estimate of Porter and that of Butler differ greatly as to its effects.
