Thb Old Isshb.—N»withft*ndiQg r«peftt«d 9x-
plaoatioDB in the newspapera, lome persona itill ■ap
pose that the One and Two dollar Trtasary Notes
are inclnded ia tbe Old Issue whose term of exist
ence was limited to the 1st inst. by the law of April
lastmd prolonged till the 1st Jaly next by tke law
of the present session of Congress. It is not so.
The Ones and Twos were intended and allowed to
remain in cifcolatioB,. for tbe double reason that
they ere a great convenience as change, and that it
was sappoaed they would be more generally in the
hands of poor or ignorant persons who might not
be aware of tJ'e necessity of having them redeemed.
it understood, therefore, once more, that there is
DO necessity to have the small notes redeemed iu
New Jssur', and that the notes of $5 and upwards
(except $100 notes which are worthless) nay be re
deemed at any time before t^e 1st of Jnly next.
While on the subject, wo cannfit but express sur
prise to hear at this late day some pers^'na, even
those trho are generally regarded as intelligent and
well dispesed, speak of the tax on tbe old inene as a
species of repudi.vfion, and coBsid.-r themnelvts
wTOcped by it. 'i'aey are ju9t so far, and no more,
wrong, d :>a a perpou is wronged who pays any other
tax for tne ?upport of the government of his country
Tha condition of the country requires heavy taxes,
and in laying them. Congress vras ob’iged to include
. v'cr>- dePC’’iotion of property, Baek notes, Treaiury
iiCles, and ypecie, us well as land and negroes. Sev
eral subjecta a ftir M^vier tax than this tax of
one-third on Treasury notes of $5 and upwards.
Let us instance specie, on which the tax is 5 per
cent., payable in specie. So tbat if a man has $100
in specie he payti a tax npon it of $5 in specie
Those are worth more than S150 in carreney.
But the Treasury officers have commuted for this at
the rate of IS for 1. So that the tax on the $100
in specie is actually ^90 in currency. .This would
Sieem (o be a heavier tax (ban tbe 33^ per cent, au
the old issue.
We might refer to other species ;.f property, but
it'» scarcely w/»r?h -hile. If people will but tske
that the country cannot exist witheut taxea, aud
heavy taxes too—they will be reconciled to the ne
cessity and even the propriety of the tax on tbe old
issue.
The Richmond Enquirer bas thrown another fire
brand inl^o the f’onfederacy. It was the first to start
tho project of arming the slaves, and now it proposes
to make an ontrageons proposition to England and
Franf'e. Snch visionarv schemes indicate a weak-
kneed frame of mind, such as any press in the Con-
fed-eracy, and especially at the capital, ought to bt
a°humed of at a time like this. They are ealculated
!o encourage the enemy and to produoe dissension
at home.
It is prop>er to remark, to prevent misapprehension,
that tbe Enquirt-r, so far from being the organ of the
Adrniuidtration, is rather hostile to it.

Jail Deuvesy.—(^aite an excitement was pro

tion that tne prisoners in the jail were making their
B'lcapa. Thfre wae a rush of Sheriff’s officers, and
of men and c»oys. On reaohing the spot we learn
that the tornkoy, (Shepherd who was tempora-ily in

whilst the foar boarders were oft. His acdouat cf the
m'itter was, that wliea be went in with thair break-

SATCBDAf’s FieHT —Ob Saturday Bieminf, from
‘the movemenia of the fieet, it was the geaeral under
standing that tkey were preparing to attack. Akont
12 o’clock they bM formed m Une-of-battle and oan-
menoed to Bseva up. On they came, the knge frig
ates leading the way; tkea the gilm ncly Iraasides;
then the monitors and the groat line of sosailer ves
sels stretehing away out—almost as far as tke eye
eould see. Nearer and nearer tkey approaah. .^l ia
calm and quiet in tke fort—the men are at. their
^ans—our Colonel stands on the Pulpit, wateh in
hand, to note the time they commence flrisf Oloeer
still tkey con'e; aod now they are in position: A
flash, a curl of smoke, and a lend report, followed
by the shrieking noise of the shell, from one of the
frigates, amonnces the fight coamenced, 20 miaatee
before 1 o'clock. Au4 now tbe fight progresses ia
earnest; thick Ij the shell, load sotnds the thunder
of artillery, lurid are tbe flashes of g^eat gans as
they ^omit forth their missiles of death and deitruc-
tioa. And eh! nobly stand onr man to tkeir guns.
From Shepherd’s Battery to tke Monnd they itanii
unqoivermg and* defiant, loading ^md iring coolly
and calmly, the gnanera sighti^ their guns aa if tkey
were practicing at a target. The scene is grand and
awful. From every vessel can be seen the white enrl
of smoke, aud high ap in the air hundreds of smot^
rings are formed from the ezploeioB of ehells. Tne
firiog does not abate in tke least; it inereasee as tke
Sght progresses, and the noise is deafenitf. The
enemy have coneentrated their fire on ear flag, and
the halliards &re cat; aad bow the nohle staff is
stmek in several places and falls. The fla^ at the
Mound still floats, and aow thay fire on it, thick and
fast. At last they strike it aai down it ceaes; bat
it is iaiBvdiately raised anin. Bang, bang, bang,
whiz, whis, whiB, clash, clash, clash, all tae tiae.
The quarters have caught fi re, aad tke bright flamaa
stretch out ^heir t»d?ui}a wkile the kearens are en
veloped with dark clouds of smoke. The air is snl-
phurous from burned powder. Still all goes well.
About 6 o’clock the fire of the oaemy bsgms to

StTWOAT's riOHT.
Th'S day will always be memodal to the men
who garrisoned Fort-Fisher—Christmas—the anai-
versary of the birth of Bim who eaqae to earth to
preach peace and good will to men. As I write
these lines memory calls me ba'k to the time when
Christmas was celebrated in a far different manner
—when old and young woald gather round the fami
ly tab’e and there in peaee aad plenty oeleorate in
joyfuineas and thanksgiving the birth of Okrist, the
Savieur—while the bells from the different temples
erected to the praise ef (Jod would ring forth their
nost melodious Calls and tho deep-toned organ burst
forth in grand notes, the sacred anthems of heaven
ly music, the Choir singing, “Holy, Holy, Holy,
Lord Ood of Hosts—Heaven aad Karth is fall of
thy glory; Hosahnah in the Highest; Blessed is he
that cometh in the name of the Lor^” But thoee
times have passed awiy. Mem;>ry can only recall
them to mind. 1 wander from my snbject, let me
return to it.
Th3 expectation of the garrison that we woatd
have a night fight waa not realiaed. The nicht was
spent in watchfulness aad repairing the slight dam
age! snstained by the fight. Oar nQble Gleaeral
Whiting had arrived, and all was confideace and
chesrftiiness. As the nioraiog dawned the fleot
could 06 discerned in the "distance, getting ready to
renew the attack; but it was not expected that ope
rations would compaence before high tide, which
«onld be about 12^ o’eloek. However, every man
was at his post, ready at anv momeat to ag&in en
gage the fleet. .A.bont 10 o’closk the .fleet oom-
menc-d moving in—their extreme right resting near
Gatlin’s Battery, about 6 miUs up the beach, and
their left extending down to the Port The Iron
sides led the attack, the (ligates resting on her rigtit
and lef* and the monitors to the riirht of the frigates.
I counted 52 vessels in all —1 Ironside, 3 or 4 moni
tors, 4 frigate and 47 other vessels. Tney steam-
»d in very slowly, two of tke frigate# going roand
to the sea front of the fort, and the Ironclads and
lonitors lying abreast of the centre front ITio Iron
sides and monitors came up within a* mile; tho rest
of the fleet remained out aboat I^ miles. At 10 JO a.
na., the first g»n was flrcd by the Iro&sidee, follow
ed by the rest of the fleet, firing very slowly and
deliberately, for tbe while The fort reserved ite
gre, thinking that the wooden fleet would be
tempted to come in aloser range. Ffnding, however
that tney would not eome eloser, our guns opened,
also firing very slowly. The day waa qaite foggy, and
tbe smoke from the gnns rendered it more sa

Everting akont the land front was new got in r«adi-

made by the land foree to sterm the fort A bright look
oat waa kept up and onr pickets were thrown oat. Svery-
thieg wae quiet however until aboat It o'clock, when
ear pkket8 discovered the yankees landing on the f-x-
treme right of the Fort, cear the mound. The aight wi»#
dark and a heavy rsin had set in. Col. Lamb at the
head of ^ infantry eneages them, and fac jawbii* *he

Monqat SCtH'—Tke morning was very foggy, and the
fleet was hardly visl>>le Tke tall tapering masts of the
frigatee could be^ diseerned ia the fog looming ap like
phantom Alps. The booming of oannoBOOiddlwV>eard in
the distance np tbe beaah, and it was snppoted that the
eremy were lining thair forcee. which iwDed out to be
true About 10 o’clock by lookiag through a glass conld
be seea a oolomn ef tto eaemy stretched out acroes the
laid frost near Aaderaon. The loa^ roll was beat ud
the mea lined tbo palisades aad manned tbe gons From
some eause however tke ensmy made ao advancej and
nothing happened about the fort daring the day. The
men were all ia fiae spirits; and Ool. Tait with his fine
battalien had arrived to take part in the fray. Th» firing
nn the haack oentiuued all day, and also dorinf; the
nifht Tke men were hard at work to-day in repaiting
the damages to the fwt
Titxsdat 27tb.—Tha morning openad- brightly Tbe
glorious sun came forth from great old oce*n in 9.11 itci
splendor. The rippling waves, crowncd with their white
caps, rushiag on each other as ia a playful gambel, spark
led in its light. All aatnrer see^man lovely. And io!
there on the bar is the bleekade rtianer “Banshee.'’ The
fleet see her aad two of them start after her, but she
is too quick, aod proadly she oom*e in the in'et while the
men crowd the onrtains wd oheer after cbeer ffreete her,
which mre answeiOd with a vim by her crew. Daring the
night anotiier bad eome in wboee same Lbare not learn
ed. I woi^er how Mr.'*Admiral Porter ^It at that time,
w'th a fleet of upwards of 60 veeeels net able to tffeehutlUf
blockade New Inlet.
It was sdoa seen that some important movement was
going on among tbe fleet near Anderson. Boats coaid lie
s^'en pasting to and fro from the vessels to the bea'^b.
vfhe'ber the enemy were stii landiag troops or evacu
ating oonld not be told; but it was jsopyosed by some that
they were dolnc tbe latter, which proved to be correct.
About IS o’clock the fleet stood out; the Irbnsidee, which
had baen lying nearer the Fort, got np steam and started
ont. an^ seou the whole fleet were oat eome distance,
wImto tbfty anchored. A bright look out wsa kept up at
night, bat nothing of importance ooourred.
WsnpwrnDAT, B^.. 88.—Another beautiful morning.
Half of the flast hae dleappaarad; tha reat are going on.
A.‘iO o’idook, P. M.—^The rest have disappeared—aoSung
bat the osnid blockade eqoadron are aow visible.
l^sa Foar.—Tha oondition of the Fort aow is ae etrang
an it arer waa. Having withatoad tke heaviest bom
bardment that hae ever taken place on this oontteent, it
hae prorec oondnaively that edrthworks are etroeger
and a haodred tixnee leea Hable to ininry thaa any othar.
The werka ware built apoa principles anknown before
the war, and which have bMn fully ensiaiinRd. Gen
Whiting kaa showB hie great wisdom in allowing ttie works
to be pat ap, net aooerding to any regulax en|^ecrini^
plan, bnt as tha different deaige:) of the Oonuaandar,

of his gallaatG-eneral. As the Wilmi g^in Journal tmth-
fully remarks, tha namee of Cien. Whiting and CoL Lamb
will always bs aesociated with the defance of Fort Fisher.
Inaa>Birrs Ao.—It would t>e imposaible to give aa ac'
oount of the inaamemble incidents that oocorred during
the two days’ fight. I will only mentfon one or two.
During part of the heaviest firing on Sunday. Gen’l
Whiting and staff walked no fi'ona Bnehanaa ^ttery,
dietaat abont miles frwm 'the Fort, and it is miracn-
lons that any of them eacaped witheut injury. Col Lamb
was all aboat the works, fnm one end to the other. Too
much praise eannut be paid him; aad oa the memerable
Christmas evening, when the aaemy were preparing to
attack the works, his daring will^ never be forgotten,
ftns'aiag oa the parapets, sward in hand, he called for
Tolanteerri bo repalM the attaolq with a yell his men
rushed after him; and that Toll caused the retreat of the
yaakoes under oover of thdr fleat.
At one time a shell fell into one of the batteries mann
ed by Oapi Patterson; the fuse wae burning, and in a
few seconds, would have exploded. Private Britsom
picked it np and asked Private W. J. Tamer to ponr
some cold water on iie £ue to cael ita «ng»r, which he
did, and then threw the ehell over the battery. Every
one did his daty, nobly and ffallaatly. Great praise in
due to the Medical IMp’t, nader Surgeon Singleton, I
must now aloes as tiie t>e^ is abont to start.
