The battle lasted until night, three hours, and "the loss of the enemy was severs."--Yesterday morning, the 21st, the Federals renewed the fight and succeeded in landing some sharpshooters; since which we have had no later accounts up to this time. Fort Branch is a few miles above Poplar Point, on the river. The policy of the enemy is manifestly the same in North Carolina that it is in Georgia: It is to destroy our railway lines and devastate the country. The movement against the Weldon railroad some ten days ago was part of the plan of operations at present being undertaken against this place and the railway leading hence to Weldon. The fate of Richmond and Virginia — as I hope General Lee and Mr. Seddon will discover in time — will not be decided alone on the banks of the James and Shenandoah.--Should the enemy be permitted to gain possession of Charleston, the great battle f

For four years the enemy has sought in vain to overrun the country from the Ohio and the Potomac, and to defeat us in battle. Henceforth his policy will be to operate from

For four years the enemy has sought in vain to overrun the country from the Ohio and the Potomac, and to defeat us in battle. Henceforth his policy will be to operate from the sea, by short lines, against our railways. This, Grant is now doing; and such will be the future policy of Sherman. Having failed to take Richmond by marching overland, Grant now hopes to effect its fall by cutting off its supplies. The time has come, therefore, for the President and General Lee

[Davy's locker, probably.] I am confident nothing can be done from the scar alone and that while the fleet engages the fort, it will be merely to cover up the operations of a force previously landed at Wrightsville or Masonboro' sound. In General Whiting I have every confidence, and so have the people here. All he wants is men, and those ought to be sent at once.--hurried on with the greatest possible speed, for without them the town certainly falls. Already I hear troops are on the road.

The fleet lay at anchor on the 20th and 21st, but last night it drew off, and this morning only the tops of the masts of the Wabash and Colorado are visible from Fort Fisher. It is impossible to say whether the transports, under convoy of the frigates, have merely drawn off shore or sought port elsewhere until the gale shall have subsided, or have gone on to Port Royal and Savannah. The prevailing opinion is, that they have gone farther south, and that their appearance here was only a feint to distract attention. It would be more agreeable to know they had shared the fate of the Spanish armada, and that in distributing a medal commemorative of the event, we might adapt the language employed by Queen Elizabeth on that occasion: Afflavit Deus et hostes dissipantur.
