to h nd of tbe d saster at Fort Fisher, ia that which
comes tons fr« m he Uoised States. This is un-
fortnniite, th ngh perhaps not remarkable, consider-
ine that uearly all onr people enjfafed la the battle
were captured. There is of course great anxiety
for the list of casualtiee on our Bide, which are stated
in the yankee accounts as being SOO. 'I’hair own
loss i" by cocfession about double that nuaiber in
the battle, besides 200 killed and a great many
wonnde-'’ by an explosion of the magaaine after the
battle. It will tu»‘n out, we tnink, that the y^nk'^e
loss in k’!)>*d aad wounded was equal to our whole
lo«? in k.ii^d. wo.-nded and prisoners.

The Caroliniau warmly defended G«n. Bragg, de
claring emphatically, upon facts of an official cba’-
acter, that Vien. Bragg is not responsible far the fall
of the Fort . Nor does it blame tJen. Hoke, but pays
a high complitnent to him for his kn''wn gallantry.
But it lays the responsibility upon the authorities
who failed send troors enoush to defend the place
As for tJ-en. Whiting and Col. Lamb, all agree in
awarding to thetn aa high praisa as was ever showered
upon an*' military men As w» expected, (says the
Journal.) (J-en. Whiting foughc lik'! a paUdin. All
rtpo’^ts fonctw in stating that i}«n. Whiting and
Ool. Lamb fought gallantly, leading the troops to
repel e+ch assault, anrl never gave »p, but wer* or»r-
powered or sho* down. We uadarstand that wben
the enemy had gained the parapets of the Fort and
planted ttieir flii?, tiao two or t&ree ti«B6S
tore toe ftig dowa, and only d«si ted when he was
shot dawn and unable to rise.” The Carolinian says:
“His conduct on the parapet of Fort Fisher, when
with h'^ gallant arm he tore down and tramr>Ied un
der his f«"6t 'he flag of the enemy, reminds one more
of the chivalrous daring of the lion-hearted S’ckird
of England, thin of anything we have read of in
modern history. Whatever may happen to us by
the fall of Fort Fiaher, jasHce and truth coinp^l us
to say, and say emntiatiually, that 6-3q. Whiiing’s
skill as an Kagineer, or his bravery aa an ofBcer, can
not be impeached, la his wounded and suffjring
condition—a prisoner ia the ht»ndsof the enemy—he
stands hig'ier ia this comoi'anity, aad ia embalmed
deep*r ia tae h>art3 ot our people than h^ has ever

or unappreciated. He, too, is ia the hands of the
enemy, an>i waaalad. The entire country, with un-
preceiented unaa-nity, exoaerat-‘s him fro-n all
Dianaa. ue oia an ne could, and ma it well and eal-
Untty. An aael could do no more.”
There are rep >rts that the loss of the Fort result
ed from the tre-tshd'-y or cowardice of a Caotain of
Artillery. These riport^, we have reason for gayiuff,
are utterly uafjaadad.

We never saw Fry, but there is no doubt about it
that the man arrested here is he. He was recog

since oar issue of yeaterday. Wo have made no
movement, and the enemy seema content to watch

We learn froa good aathority, that tbe nuiBLdr ot

obtain very little information from the enemy. We
are happy to learn, however, tuat Gen. Whiting aad

A large number of letters was received, which will

The Carolinian also eays. In regard to the order given
by Ger. Bragg to Gen. Uoke to attack the enemy after
he had landed and entrenched, that upon a persi^>nal re-

for Hoke’a forces to attack theyankeea in the rear when
they a-^sanlted tke Fort. They would have been ewept
away by the fire ot the whole flaet, «00 to 800 gnns of
the largest calibre, at from a mile to a lialf mile distant
only. Gen. Bragg, ^er personal ezaminatioa, finding
it Impossible to aen ul tbe enemy in the rear, ordered a
Brigade to be thrown into the F\.-rt, by way of steamers
on the river But this, which ought to have baen done
on Saturday night, was delayed till Sunday night, and
then only 600 reached the Fort, near the elose of tbe
fight, the boats getti^ aground and maehinery damag-
(Gen. Whiting is understood to hare **nt repeated
and beseeching applications for men to be sent to him
witliin the Fort.)

Several accidental and temporary c»»u?e8
have, of late, conapired to aid tbe panic-makers in
appreciati^jg the price f.f gold. The bi!l propouing
to sequestrate the property of such I'ersons as hare
voluntarily left the li'nits of the Confederacy ha*
set the friends and families of many of these upon
turning their effects in*o speoie, witfii precipitatioa
and on whatever terms. The saoie proceoa ot oon
version by the negroes, free and slave, who have at
tempted fl.ght or t>eea preparing for it, has been no
inconsiderable element in this local demand for
g ;ld. Added *0 these is the increased demand in
ttieSoutti, consequeut upon the occupaMon ofSavan-
u&h. The litrgtt q lautity of Cocfederate currency
■itid by the citizens there, bnt not bow available to
•hem. haa been seeicing conversioj into gold through
e- ery possible aveane of communication; and the
• ffjct of ihi** saddea r.eces?ity has been to raiio tho
price of specie in that quarter. The supplies hero
neing drawn fro ji the South, the advance there is,
I'f course, felt at once in Richmond. .
Iu addition to tnesj ^hings, it may be meatioied
‘hit the breairage in our communications, caused by

mods tj the Government, and caused, for a few days,
la mterraption in the meeting of the demands which
r ave matured against the Treafinry. The incon
venience of this has fallen upon the public creditors.
These various causes, in concurreooe with the mis
erable croaking which has dispirited* the people,
have begotten a sort of panic, aeoeeles*, because
without any adequate grounds, yet mischievous, be-
ause tending to produce the evils which it fiies.

Blair.—A morning paper bas given an affeeting
description of tbs first meeting iMtween Blair and
Pr»sident Davis, which, “especially on the part of
Mr. Blair, was marked by a degree of cordiality ^at
was as ref^reshing as it was unexpected. He shook
fhe President’s hand warmly, assuring him of his
und’mitiished regard and esteem.” How kind!
I’hie Blair is one of those who, for four years, have
been »^ndiDg inrading armies tn lay waste our soil
and slay, and burn, and starve our people: if any
Southern family have lost a father er a brother slain
in this foul war, Blair is as mueh the murderer as
Lincoln or Grant:—Yet now the noble fellowjs ready
foritet aud forgive, and comes to assnre Mr. Davis
that h-s regard is -uuaiiuinioho^.” toachinie
private meeOings between the President and alien
enemies in time of war, begin to be tiresome to the
public, not to say provoking and offensive: for while
no Confederate is allowed to go to Washington un
der any pretence whatever, except as a prisoner,
there seems nothing to prevent any of the enemy’s
politicians or kgislators from strolling over otir
country at his pleasure, and making notes of what he
can see and find out.—Kick’d Examiner.
