We received last night Northern papers of the 23d instant. From Wilmington--five blockade vessels captured. Fort Monroe, January 20. --The frigates Minnesota, Wabash, Colorado, and a greater portion of the larger vessels of Admiral Porter's fleet, recently operating against Fort Fisher, North Carolina, have returned, and are now anchored in Hampton Roads. The steamer General Lyons arrived here this afternoon with five hundred men of the Tenth North Carolina regiment, captured in Fort Fisher, who are to be sent to Fort Delaware. On the evening of the 18th instant, Colonel Abbott, commanding a brigade of troops, started out from Fort Fisher on the way to Wilmington, North Carolina. A general forward movement of our troops against the town was actively engaged in reconnoitering along the banks of the Cape Fear river, and in sounding for torpedoes and removing obstructions to the free navigation of the river.

Besides the Drewry, the Virginia alone received any injury. The casing near one of her port holes was somewhat stove in. Our casualties were five killed and fourteen wounded. We have received authentic information that, on Thursday last, a fleet of vessels — men of war, gunboats and transports — came into Hampton Roads.--This is supposed to be the fleet which recently operated so successfully against Fort Fisher. The report that the Tallahassee had been captured while attempting to run into the Cape Fear river is discredited by the War Department. An official dispatch from General Hardee, dated on the 24th, says there are no movements being made by the enemy on either side of the Savannah river.--That is, that Sherman was not demonstrating against either Augusta or Branchville; but, on Wednesd
