Sebastopol (Pennsylvania, United States) (search for this): article 3
Our Wilmington correspondent states that an English officer who was with Sir Charles Napier in the Baltic, and who was also at Sebastopol, says that the fire of the Federal fleet upon Fort Fisher on the 24th ultimo exceeded anything he had ever seen. But fearful as this bombardment was, it was a mere prelude to the infernal fire of Christmas day.--From ten in the morning till six in the evening, there was "such a rain of shot and shell as never before fell upon any spot of earth since gunpowder was invented." And yet the fort remained uninjured, and not a dozen men were killed. Colonel Lamb and his brave garrison have covered themselves with immortal renown; the former not more by the heroical fortitude of his defence than by the signal forethought, judgment and energy by which he was prepared for the terrific collision. If all our fortifications had been in such hands, the Confederacy would be spared many a humiliating page in its history. If anything is now clearly de

Dahlgren (search for this): article 3
ly demonstrated by the progress of this war, it is that ships are no match for forts properly constructed and defended with determination. The whole history of war establishes the same fact, but the improvements made by the introduction of steam and of iron-clads, and the ridiculous surrender of sundry Southern forts to gunboats, had led to some doubts upon the subject. These doubts are now forever set at rest. Fort Sumter, which drove back in inglorious defeat the tremendous armament of Dahlgren, besides resisting for nearly a year an incessant bombardment from land, led the way in establishing the superiority of land fortifications to floating batteries; and now Fort Fisher has given an illustration of the same truth which will never be forgotten. This little fort, furiously assailed by over fifty ships of war, including two monitors, several armored vessels, and a large proportion of heavily-armed frigates and sloops, has not only made a successful defence, but come out absolute
