thought of doing when oar awoaiata and
workmen left for tba front. It if ao ex
periment; whether wa hare force to carry
it on remains to be ioen. One of the great
est difficultiei we propose to obviate, if
the Poatmasters will assist us, by sending
papers in packets without the names of
•ubscribers written on them. The labor
of directing the thousands of papers twice
a week cannot be performed, either by our-
seWes or any assistance that can be pro
cured at present. We accordingly enclose
in each packet to-day, (as far as we have
been able as yet to write them out,) a list
of subscribers to the Semi-Weekly at each
office; ani on Monday will endeavor
to enclose similar lists of the subscri-
iiert to the Weekly. The Postmasters
will do us and their neighbors a great favor
if they will carefully preserve these lists,
by which to put each aubscriber’s paper in
his box on the arrival of the packet from
time to time. We will advise them in the
same way of any paper stopped or any new
one added, so that the name can b« eraaec
from or added to the list.
Should any one be diiBatitfied with
a half sheet, or with anything else in our
arrangements, we will very glady refund
the amount of subscription unconsmned.
We have no time to write reeeipti or
bills; so no receipts for payments need be
expected—the coming of the paper will be
the evidence of tbat-^nd no notifications
will be forwarded, ae heretofore, of tke
time when subscriberi* timee expire.
P. S. The boat last night brought back
the attiployeeB of this offibe, and the Junior

An aasault byv:tiia iu&tttoy oa ft>rt in
^ rear on Sunday a|tenioon vm fepulaad;
but a later one waa aucceeefiil, aad the
Fort was sarr«ndored at 10 P. M. of tint
night. Ebgood’a Brigade ia eaid to have
reinforced the garrison after the repi:^se.
Where the remainder of Hoke’s Pivision
were, we hare not heard. Gen. Bragg
was at the Sugar Loaf» between the enemy
and Wilmington. Gen. Terry commands
the yankees.
Gen. Whiting was WQonded in the tbigh^
noi ieriously. Col. Lamb was also sligbt^
ly wounded. All accounts speak in the
strongest praise of the gallantry of these
officers and of the officers and men under
their command.
By a refugee from Wilmington, who left
there at 3 o’clock P. M. on Monday, we
learn that all was quiet at that time.
Fisher wyg assaulted on all sides. North,
South, end the River side, by 11,000 men.
Od’s South Carolina Brigade, of Hoke’s
one of our best fightmg Brigades,
to reinforce the garrison, and
ptured with it. We had in all
00 men captured. Fort Caswell
Head have been evacuated, being
er tenable after the fall of Fisher.
Whiting and Col. Lamb had been
nded and taken out of the Fort to
Battery close by, and were cap-
vured there. Gen. Whiting raised the flag
with his own hands three times after it had
been shot down. It was not known how
many of our men were killed.
There was no mail from Wilmington last
night. We received a dispatch dated yes
terday, stating that “all was quiet—no
news.” Our returned townsmen mention
all sorts of reports as prevailing, none of
which are reliable. One was that 300 of
our men in Fort Fisher had been killed,
partly by the yankeea after the surrender.
A falsehood, no doubt. Indeed it is not
known vs^ho or how many were killed and
wounded on either side.
This misfortune touches us more nearly
than any that has occurred, it is true, but,
nationally considered, will not compare in
ma^itude to others which have from time
to time preceded it, and which the Confed
eracy survived. It will survive this. It
cannot afford to be subjugated. Let there
be.no despondency; let ua never despair of
our country, or abandon our rights. God
will at last brmg the iMt to pass if we
but trust in Ifim, itoad iindj t«gethn and
do our dtttj.
What doks it meamY—^We refer the
IHaiider to the remarkable incidents in thje
V ^ ^proceedings of the House of Repr^nta-
.tiras om the Ifth. From the remarks of
Mr. On we infer that some scheme is on
foat ia Congress te ignore the President
and Senate and to institute negotiations
with the yankees in some way unknown to
the Constitution. And it is possible that
the renegade Foete of Tennessee, who said
wheh eaptured that he was “going to Wash
ington to negotiate a peaee,” was the or
gan of this clique. The movement seems
to have been bitterly denounced by the
Sentinel, and to have produced much bad
feeling in and out of Congress. In the ab
sence of Tirginia papers our information
in regard to it is very imperfect.
The Fkencii and the Yankees.—It will
be seen that the yankee Senate has direct!)
ignored the Empire of Mexico and the Em
peror Maximilian, by sending Consuls to
the Republic of Mexico. This will tell I^a
poleon very plainly what he may expect
as soon as the yankees are released from
their present war—that they will at
once attempt to enforce the Monroe
doctrine by driving Maximilian out of Mex
ico. Besides this, certain yankee sea-eap-
tains have taken letters of marque from
Jusrez, the Ex-Governor of Mexico, to fit
out privateers to prey u*pon French com
merce.
These signs indicate a French and ysn-
kee war. And the Canadian situation as
strongly indieates an English and yankee
war.
Whilst the bill to consolidate com
panies, regiments, %e. was before Congress,
Mr. Gilmer of N. C. spoke against it. He
thought it was not a time to try such an
experissent, which would produce discon
tent. He said he had not the shadow ef a
doubt as to the ultimate triumph of oar
arms. He saw no reason for any man to
be faint-hearted.
Mr. Miles .of S. C. aompiimented Mr.
Gilmer, “whose experience and ability all
acknowledge, and whose glowing words of
hopeful patriotism must havM found an
echo in every heart.”
Ta* Latk Fires.—There seems to be no
doubt that the late tires in Charlotte and
Salftbury, to say nothing of other places,
were the work of incendiaries, and it is
generally believed that they were yankee
emissaries, determined to destroy where
their armies cannot penetrate to do so.
The heavy loaaes of government stores by
theae fires shows a purpose to starve out
our armies. These things make it all im
portant that the closaat Watch ba kept
upon all suspicious persons, and indeed
upon all strangers; and none should be per
mitted to go at large without the most
iatisfactory evidence of cliaracter. Few
Kople travel now. and the honest ones
imong those few will not object to sub
mit to a scrutiny required by the public
jood. _
The Battle Flag at Fobt Fi3heb.—
In our last we published an account, by
Tally Hd,” of the gallantry of Chistopher
C. Bhtnd, Co. K, 36th N. C. T., in raising
a battle flag on the Mound at Fort Fisher
"under a furious fire from the enemy. The
Conservative publishes a letter from Col.
Lamb, accompanying the flag, which he
sent to Gov. Vance.
In regard to Gen. Butler’s story that one
of his men had captured a battle flag from
the parapet of thci main fort. Col. Lamb
says:
“The Mound is the right flank work.
After having the battle flag raic^ed there, I
went to the left flank work of the fort which
commands the causeway into the fort on
the river sidej 2,581 yards form the Mound,
and raised a battle flag on the parapet. I
missed the flag at dawa^ Monday morning,
and on inquiring learnt that not long before
dark on Sunday the staff* was carried away
by enfilading shot which together with the
wind carried the flag over tlje palisades and
some distance from the work into the marsh
and within the enemy’s skirmish line. Maj.
Gen. Butler reports officially that one of
his men brought away this flag from the
parapet. I know that Admiral Porter de
serves the credit of taking it from the para
pet, and as he did so little with his noisy
fleet I think he should not be robbed of
the honor.”
This very effectually disposes of Butler’s
extraordinary story.
The Arsenal.—On arriving at Wilming
ton, Col. Childs and the Arsenal workmen
who had gone down to aid in the defence
of that placc were ordered back. They left
on Tuesday and arrived here last night.
Only the Ordnance company of soldiers and
the Reserves and Home Guard and volun
teer Exempts were retained.
The Daily Telegraph.—Mr. Bernard,
Editor of the Telegraph, has suspended his
paper and gone to the front as a member
of a volunteer company of exempts.
Our Subscribers in the army should in
form us when they change their stations,
as we may not hear. And in writing of
their own change of place, it would be h
further advantage if they would mention
whetiliM t^eir entire Regiment, or Brigade,
or Division, has moved from aud to

Richmomd, Jan’y 16.—Tha following of
ficial telegram was raeaived this mormng:
“Headquarters, 16th. Hon. J. A. Sbddok:
—Oen. Bragg reports that the anamy bom
barded Fort ^aber furiously all day yes
terday. At 4 p. m. their infantry advane-
ed to assault. A heavy demonstration was
also made agaist their raar by our troops.
At 6^ p. m. Gen. Whiting reported that
their attack had failed, and that the gar
rison was being strengthened with frash
troops. At 10 P/ M. the fort was captured,
with most of its garrison. No further par
ticulars at that tmie known. •
R. E. LEE.”
Handsome affair in N$rthwe»tem Virginia.
—Richmod, Jan. 16.—The following was
received last night:
“Headquarters, Jan. 16.—Gen. Early
reports that Rosser, with 300 men, sur
prised and captured the garrison at Beverly,
Randolph connty, on the 12th, wounding
a considerable number and taking 580
prisoners. His loss slight. R. £. Lbb.
Congreu.—Richmond, Jan’y 16.—^In the
Senate, the House currency bill was re
ported back from tlie Finance committee
with amendments. The bill increasing the
salary of the Vice President passed. The
Senate then went into s cret session.-
In the House, Mr. Orr of S. C. rose to a
personal explanation. He cause*! an arti
cle from thy Sentinel to be read by the
Clerk. It referred to a short communica
tion as treasonable which mentioned a ru
mor that a bill was before Congress in
secret session to open negotiations with
Lincoln for peace. The Sentinel denounces
this as treason af the most infamous charac
ter, and says the people will not allow
themselves to be said by traitorous Con
gressmen after this fashion; says the report
has excited surprise and indignation, and if
any but the regular authorised mode of
communication with the anamy be resorted
to, Congress will not escape the indigna*
tion snd reprehension of the people. Mr.
Orr said this article was intended as a
criticism upon a report he submitted from
the Committee on Foreign affairs. The
movement proposed was not in the hands
of time serving men, but was sustained by
the volume of sentiment in the country and
the army, and upon a sense of duty, de
claring that some form of statesmanship
shall be invoked in order to end this car
nival of death by negotiation. Hr. Lester
moved to suspend the rules to enable him
to submit a preamble and resolutions. He
declared the statements and imputations of
the Sentinel, so far as intended to apply to
the House, faUe, meriting emphatic rebuke
and unqualified denunciation. The House
refused to suspend, yeas 32, nays 36. Mr.
Smith of Ala., witlj hat in hand, said he con
sidered this vote as endorsina; the Sentinel,
and as long as it stands, self-respect would
not permit him to take further pvt in the
dehDerafions of the body, ^veral mem
bers stated that they did not re^^d the
vote as endorsing tha Sentinel, and gave
different reasons for the opinion.
The exemption bill was taken up and
various amendments proposed to the clause
relative to the Press. All amendments
were finally laid upon the table.
The Special committee in the caas of
Foote made a report declaring that he was
absent without leave. A substitute was
adopted declaring that Foote had no longer
any privileges as a member of the House.
The matter was referred to the President
with a statement of the facts.
Richmond, Jan. 17.—The Substitute
offered yesterday for the committee’s re
port on the case of Foote was not adopted,
and finally a resolution declaring that the
report of the committee is the judgment of
the House was not adopted, yeaa 32, nays
36.
In the Senate to-day, the bill allowing
increased eompensatioo to railroads for
carrying the mails was passed.
In the House, Mr. McMullen made a per
sonal explanation, declaring that if the
Sentinel or its correspondent chose to ar
raign his conduct as traitorous, he pro-
nauQced them infamous liars.
Mr. Miles submitted a resolution, which
was adopted, to appoint a joint committee
to prepare an address to the people of the
Confederate States assuring them of the
unalterable determination of Congress to
prosecute the war till our independence is
achieved.
Tlie death of Mr. Morgan, a Representa
tive from Texas, was announced, and after
eulogies and the customary resolutions of
respect, the House adjourned. '
Mr. Foote.—Richmond, Jan’yj If.—
Judge Halliburton has awarded a writ of
habeas corpus ordering the Provost Marsh
al of Fredericksburg to bring Foota bafbra
him on Thursday.
From the United Suues.—RiCHMOirD, Jan.
16.~The New York Times of the 14th
has very little news. The Senate passed
the consular appropriation bill, after insert
ing the words “Republic of” before “Mexi
co”—[thus ignoring the Empire of Mexico
and the Emperor Maximilian.]
Jim Lane has been elected Senator from
Kansas. The recent flood in the James
River opened the channel of the Dutch
Gap canal. Gen. Sickles has sailed for
California. Mrs. Foote has arrived in
Washington.
Municipal Election.—The election for
Mayor, nine Commissioners and two Con
stables came off yesterday. The following
is the result:
Mayor Harrison re-elected without op
position.
Commissioners:—N. S. Harp, J. J. Over
by, Hackney Pool, W. R. Riahardson, A.

eommand of the skillful and accomplished
General Leventhorpe. They will do the
same again whenever they are called upon.
[Col. Mallett’s Report shows that these

&ate Bomdt.—We learn that the recent
advertisement of our State Treasurer result
ed as follows: The various bids ranged from
par to 121 premium—that the large bid
ding was at a premium of 103. The Trea
surer, however, in accordance with the re
servation of a right to do so, which he had
wisely made, rejected all the bids. He has
since sold about $150,.000 of bonds at from
150 to 175 premium; and about $300,000
at a premium of 200. We further learn
that he has declined making any additional
sales, until it shall be seen whetfier the five
or six millions due the State from the Con
federate State Government, chiefly for cloth
ing to our troops, shall be paid. It is an
easy matter to aalculate, from these facts,
the great saving to the State, which the
wisdom and foreseight of our able Treasur
er has made by his prudent course in this
matter. Long may the State enjoy his
services, invaluable in his department.

Thd Frssh.—Wa learn that the bridge
ovar Neuae River near Rogers’s X Roads In
this county has baea carried away by tha
lata freshet.
Also the bridge over the Neuse at the
Neusa Paper Mills, and the bridge ovsr
Crabtree an the Tarbora’ Road.
It is stated that the damage doae by the
freshet in Chatham county has been im
mense. All the bridges on Haw river have
been carried away, and two njills—^Brown’s
and Turaer Byuum’t. We bare nof heard
from Deep River.
All the bridges on Neuae river towards the
East except Powell’s and Battle’s, were
8we[)t away. We heard an intelligent old
man, who was born and raised on the
banks of this river, say that the i^ter was
three feet higher than ever before within
his msmory. Much fodder was mined.
Rnleiffh Caa»*rnrft^,
lu Randolph, the water was about 8
feet deep on the first floor in the Dtjep
River Cotton Mills, and grist mil). The
Bridge at Cedar Falls was swept away, al
so the store-house ut that place, with eve
rything in it except the books and money
belonging to the Company. The bridge
across Bush Creek, also the litle one in
Franklin-jville,’are both gone. Coffia, Foust,
& Co. have also suffered much loss. The
river broke around the South end of their
dam.”—/6., 18iA.
• We continue our reports of damages
sustained by the freshet.
Gulp’s Mills, on Big Sugar creek, near
Morrow’s Turn Oat, with the gin house and
saw mill, has been swept off and the dam
greatly damaged.
On the line of the North Carolina rail
road serious damage has been sustained.
Rich Fork trestle is down. Abbott’* bridge
is washed out of line, and 250 yards of em
bankment at Hargrove’s mills is washed so
badly that the trains will be delayed. The
damages, we learn, may retard railroad
communication several days.
We are pleased to learn that Rock Island
factory is safe, although great apprehension
in consequence of the high and turbid con
dition of the Catawba river was entertain
ed. The damage as far as ascertained is
very slight.—Char. Bulletin.
Gen. TFheeler's Comnuuml.—'Much aom-
plaint has existed in the country concern
ing the atrocities of roving bands of plun
derers calling themselves, or being cal'ed
by the people, “Wheeler’s men.” In order
to test the truth of the stigma upon his
command, Gen. Wheeler has recently sent
out detachments far sad wide to scaur tha
couatry, and apprehend the marauders.
Satisfactory proof has been obtained that
of the prowlers in Sherman’s rear, none, if
any, belonged to Gen. Wheeler’s forces,
though so denominated. The thieves caught
have turned out ta be deserters from vui-
eus infantry organu^tiuns, and one, a re
leased Milledgeville eonvict. Hundreds
of horses and mules have been returned to
citiiten# by Gen. Wheeler.
