t 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 weeks. The immenof the James, would leave the rebels but a limited land force for the defence of Wilmington, induced the supposition that Butler's co-operating army would have light work. As for a rebel naval force, there were none that could give us a moment's feaized 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.
