Wa understand that on -Thursday last there was tome akirmisaipg between the left wing of cur forces ia the neigHborhood of Sugar Loaf, and tbe Yackee io fantry, who bad made an advance from their entrenched poiition. During the afternoon, it is reported, whilst tba Yankee vessels were engaged shelling the woods, their infantry made an attack on Cliogman's brigade, (occupying our left,) with the evident intention cf tasking teem, bat were repulsed and driven back to their entrenchments. No casualties have as yet been .eported, but we learn that several of cur men were woonded. John Sipe'. Co. B , 42 J Reg't N. O. T., (of Newton, N. C,) wouade in above skirmish, and brought to General Hospital No. 4, died on yesterday. In the river below no movements have been made by the enemy's vessels that we are aware cf. Wi would call the attention of oar cotemporaries to the fact that Fort Fishtr never was itrrenrfred but was carried at the point of the bayonet by overwhelm ing Bombers, after all the guns On the land face had been dismounted by th? tetrific fi-e from the fleet. The enemy's loss, in Sunday's fight, is estimated to be at least one thousand in killed and wounded. The Fort was charged three times on Sunday afternoon and eight, before it was captured. Ir is nnderstood in official qiarters that a magszine expired in Fort Fisher on Monday morning, and that the enemy lost a bo it 'our hundred from its effects. Ths friends of the gallant Major Reilly, need have bo fears of his btiag h&rsily treaud by the eieiny, ba esase of til having been in th3 U. S. service, as we Lava been shown the original accept aoce of his resigna tion, dated Weahiogton, May 3J, 186L. Wc are reliably informed that Gftf. Ourti3, of the Yankee army, was killed in the fight at Fort Fisher on Sunday last. We also learn that a Yankee aid de camp was killed in the skirmishing on Thursday. Lieut. A. B. Barr, Oj. D, 36.h Rigimant N. (T Troops, writea that he is woanJeJ (bat not eonoasly) and a prisoner. Sergeant Turreutiue, of same com pany i killed; Sergeant Pridgen id slightly woud -d Also privates A. Eaor, slightly, and John Sellars, R. Waddtll and Fieher, a.'riously wc unded. It gave ns pleasure oa yesterday forenooa, to me t with cut young friend, but old in the service of his coaotry, Capt. Henry (jr. Flanner, of Wilmington, but now commander of Latham's battery. Ilia numerous friends will no doubt be pleased to learn that the Cap tain looks wtll, notwithstanding the many hardships he has undergone during the war. He is one amongst a few others, only, who survive of the battery as it was first formed. We are promised a list of casualties which hsve occurred to ths battery since Capt. Flr.n ner has had charge of it. It will not bi a pleasure to as to publish it, txeept to show to their friends and the country that Latham's Battery has acted a most noble part in this war. May Capt. Flanner aad his command live to enpytbe fruits of tha freedom for whieh they are fighting. Th Wai or Sovi. It gloo in nbncnra to state, on the authority of the gentlemanly Superintend ent of the Wilarngton and Manchester Railroad, Capt.. Henry M. Drune, that bis trains are now running through to Kingsville, and that communication is open to Columbia CommuoicMion to Charleston and Au gusta, via Kingsville, was expected to open yesterday ; at all events by to-day. Communication is also open to CharKstOQ via Florence. Thj late freshets have caused sad havoc with our Railroads, in the way of washing up bridges and tres tles. For several days no mail train has been enabled to pass Kingsville, either North or South, on account of the IrcBhtt in te Congaree, which caused a portion of tbe bridge oi trestle work over that wide scope of swamp or river to bi carried away. We are pleased to bear that these breaks have been repaired, and we do fervently hope, that as matters now stand, our forces intended to meet a formidable foi at a eertain point, may be enabled to get to the right place in the light time. Whzx a great public calamity occurs, it is natural that people who are immediate Euffcrers by each calami ty, should seek seme victim upon whom to place the responsibility. Wedo not claim to be any better or purer than ur neighbors. If the town of Wilmington falls, it 6eer8 to us that tbe tabors of a reasonaly in telligent and tolerably indaatrioas lifetime are gone. Knowing this to be the fact sympathising with others wuh loved friends and relalives ladies whom we can no lorger protect ; with servants whom we have pro tected, wbo'ook to us for protestioo, who beg ns to pro tect them who beg us to carry them with ua wbere ver we go. Seeing and fetling all this, we may have said somethings about General Breeg which, under Other other circumstances, we would not have said. Generally, we are thoughtful and cauticus: Tnis is sim ply because we ccn'rol our feelings. FcSeibly wc Lave given vent to item possibly 'we have blamed our au thorities when we out Lot to have blamaied them. We do not known. We say this however : Whatever we lose, other people, just as good people, have already lest M much. Any ssenfiaa that is due and necessary for as to make, that sacrifice we are willing and ready to make. We caa do no more. The cause is not gone. We do. not give up the ship. We do not mean to give it up. We must expect to meet difficulties. We must have expected that from the first. L:t U3 be men. Now is the time to try cur manhood. Lilt Friday night it raised hard acd cantinooaij all n;gbt aad also nearly all day n Saturday. We fear cur jirers have again been swolUo as high as th?y were by the rains the week previous The Tank ess appear to have left their base ia front of Maj. Uen. Hoke's force on yesterday aad o jnsentrated at 7ortFihr. Their fi9et has also disappeared. They oi coarse hold Fisher. Whether they have rn-tmbarked their malt body, we are unable to say. They eesopy tfmith- ville, it havisg been evacuated by oar ferces. There was considerable skinnirhiog around Fort Ander- eoa Saturday eveams and Sunday atoraiog. It U supposed tb enemy are anxious to silseea Anderson, ia order to opea la o,e riT8r f0T ta3fr gjuboata. Ia this at- teapt we hope and boU they will meet with sad disap palatment. All qaiet below last evening at 6 o'clock. I appears te us taat some steps shoold be taken relative to the aofferirgs many of the poorer class of thi towa are M n juamwnut. we are toforjied that there are manv who have lubber food or foel, and It is total! onto! their power to procure me abiolate necessaries of life at the preseat enorwew prices asked. We do hone, if ther Is aay homanf;y left ia town, seme attention will be given to this iajportaat natter. It appears to osthat something- vo.a o e qobo even at Ibis late day. If is understood that the Yankees have seat oil all the vwueaeraie prtsosers they captured at Fort ruber . VOL. 21. CONFEDERATE FLAG I p TRUCK. Major Vnble, of Geteral Whiting's steiT, carried a flag tf truoe down to the enemy's line on Wednesday naornirjg, and leturntd laie on that evening.. General Whiticg has been quite severely wounded, while also Col. Limb in the tt igh, severely. Both are believed to be doing well. The fighting at the fort was despe rate on both sides. T ie casualties on our sid? we are' unable to report. 1 hy will be published as soon as eircnm3tancfl will permit. Oor losses are heavy. From wht we can learn from private sources, they will amount to over one hundred killed, and four or five hundred wounded. Our whofe loss in killed, wounded and prisoners will not amount to less than three thousand. When we suy that amorg the p isoners are General Whiting, Col Limb, Mj. Hill, Mtj SttVrnsQn, and so m ny other meo, gooi true and brave, our own feelings caabe apprtcia ted. Of conrEe .he fall of Fcrt FiL r ntatsitated tb fall of tbe other fors on the nvtr bt-low it. Everything below New Ialet is ia tke powtr of the enemy, even if it is not already in his posnession. But that does not by any mjans imply possession of the town of Wil mington. It dofjavaa closing up the blockade run nicg port of Wilmipg'oo. Ia tht stroae of the worS it is a severe blow. Botwixt us and the enemy there are'F rts Andtrson ar,d other works. Tbey are now attackiag tbem. We think we know the men in then- Jjhn Hedrck, and men like him, will fijjbt the thirg out. W e only regret that we are net with tbetn. God "knows we would rather bj with them ia tne ForU thaa trying to set up type here, as we are doing now. . ' We do not thick that. Wilmifcgtoq must necesaarilj falf. The poit of Wilmington is ah eady gone, That has gone cheap. The Cjnledracy has lost i b.st port. The men of Wilmington qiiH i.ow d!end their homes. We thick they can do o : We think tb-y will do s j. Lit us all try. The truta is, every tolera bly deo nt while man, wrio does no: want to be a slave, mast take hia position, wi.lijg to give up his life for the causj in which he is engaged. It is perfectly trselecs to blow up the President or General Bragg. We dj not believe that either oi tnesa geuildmen are perfect, nor do we think th if, even if ihej.weie perfect, they could save U3. They are simply clever and patriotic gentle men. Let u3 all of u?, be equally s j. That is simply hj way to say it, and to do 2 or ut leodt tiy to do it. Neither PreaiJent Davis uor General Bragg can fiht for U3. We must figat fjr ourselves, and for oar coun try. P. S. We are officially inform3d that tbe cannon ading below last afternoon wis (rem tbe erkmj's gun boats at cur forces at or near Sugar Loaf. Other reports say that the euemy attacked Hoke's forces yes terday afternoon, but whether tu;s is true or not we are unable to say. - WILMurov, CHARLOITE A R. II. a.

We copy the above from the " Carolinian " of the 19th, for ihj purpesa of calling attention to a matter which we have negkc'ed.std also to Capt. McLanrin'e and the other officers of the road, untiring exertions to render every assistance in theii pewer, to our citizens. While the Charlotte Road has been doiDg all it could we are free to s-.y that we feel eOLfident the Wilming ton & Weldon, and the Wilmington & Manchester Roads have acted ia a similar manner. For our part, we think they have ected in the most benevoUnt man ner towards cur cit zns who Lave maniltsted a desire to leave bete on acccunt cf oar preset. t situation. We are iaformtd, that if it becomes necessary to evacuate this town, il is theioteatioa ef the Command ing General to exercise tie authority vested in him by act cf Corgress and destroy the cotton remaining here. Instructions have beeHgivenkalready to facilitate tbe re moval of that in privrte hands, and parties not prompt- y availing themseivs of this privcl;ge of removing their property to a place of safety, will have no cause of complaint, when the military authority destroys it, should Wilmington unfortunately fall, let the enemy Sad it a barren gain, and not realize a capture such as made in Savunaa. iiV fHO LF TKltlii, The following letter was received by fiig of trujc on Wednesday night, dated Fcrt Fisher Jan. 16tb, 1865.

Abraham Lincoln, like George Gutlpb, denies the right of sell government, denial ds submis sion, invade?, makes wa-, devastutes, ccexs, coerces, pnmises, deceives, proclaims immunities, falmin&tes itiitats, givis time Lr turrender, and do.s all other sort ol ihirji-s, in tbe Royal fashion, wilriout a shadow of defunct London exampiur, at every point, we have only te" emulate the paiietcs and ptr9everance, as well aa we df the detertiiinalion and fortitude, of those gloiious souls who 1'juht againBt Dutch Gtorge, of Eogland.as Wv now, und lor a kindred cause, fight against his mod ern copyist.

"Aye," quoth tbe croakers, 4 but the enemy r ave got now in the field more than doable our force, not to talk ot their formidable fleets, and their teeming com missariats and countless other advantages." B appose this were true, it proves nothing against Buccets. Wnen th. tfl.cuve force under Wasuington was not 17.000 meu, that ut.der Gtneral Howe wua 50,000, uot to talk oi 'loimidap:e neeia and couutie63 other advantages. ln., this alarming uisnarity did not deier the bercs of that day, altbougb is did tha Croakers. It teUided, but did not nnaiiy wdbaold Independence thus a sim itar condition can retard it now ; but that is all. "Yes," cry the croakers, " but; look at the defeat of Hood, tbe v.ctorious ma.roh of Sherman, the Jos3 of Savannah, tbe many who are said to jump at amntsty and the dteertions here and there and ail teat 60tt of disheartening ihing." Jast so the croakers shrieked alter tbe deleat on Long Island, nearly ninety years (c. Indeed, that defeat was, in its immediate effects, infinitely more disastrous thaa any we Lave jet to chronicle lor our struggle. Not only was it disastrous in tbe direct less, but in the wide-spread depression, anl the rich field it left for the croakers. Dcubt and terror th-n seizad the very be3t men : happily, in our day, doubt and fear are cctfiaed to tbe systematic croakers. So great was tfce dismay consequent on that Long Island defeat, that numerous desertions became alarmingly'fiequent : desertions in force, not driblets as, at worst, tbey now are. It was just the time for conciliation a time such as Lincoln thinks Sherman has now brought about : and bo the enemy sent envoys to treat with the Revolutionists and to tffer amicable terms. To them Franklin, ia that hour of dismal gloom made the boid reply that "there, should be no peace or alliance, except as Independent estates. Ana not withstanding -defeat, amnesty, desertion, gloom fcand croakers, Frank. in predicted truly. " Disaster and desertion." indeed, one the dastardly conaeouenee of the other! nt even if what tbe omagra fnioplv imagine of our disasters and desertions not cMvntlv exaggerated, they fall far short of tKnaa in th RwoIntionarv war either separately or as connected with each other. When tbe Bhtish pushed their successes from Long Island to New York, waa not ranic and desertion in the Amewcan racks almost universal? In front of New York two com plete brigadtB pure Yankee brigades fl:d- without firing a. fan. Has Guieral Lee ever yet bad to ask, aa the intfir.aelv disgusted Washington then did : "Are these the men with whom I am to resist the foe?" But thev had deserted, and New York, more important for Washington than any dozen Savannahs to us, was gone. Never was grvatr gloom than then hn.ig over thi shattered remnant of the Revolutionary forces at Harlem. Even pioas men took the repeatfd disasters and the miseries atUndicg them, as proof that Heaven itself was arrayed a raiDet. the straggle; tbey lived to huzza for it cs a God bUt?sed cod tret. Anxiety, des pondency and dread fil-'el all hearts," says tbe historian. 14 Sickness greatly prtvaih-d, and it siemed that Amer ica must yield from tbe mere iuabtlity to tu.atn her army. In vain did the dauntless W ashingtoa strive to reanimate tha woe.'tflly dejected people ; he was abased by the croakers for his pains. 1 he causa was hopelese; yet independence was recured and all tbe croakers dumbfounded. M Misfortune and scarcity so thick?n upon u," cry tbe blear vissoned CroaSers, " that imDOsaibilitiea can- DOt be overcome our rarkj cannot be replenished or fed, and sj on." Short sigh'ed crealuresl None of this is trae, and if it were, is there nothing in the lea son we bave jast recited, from a similar struggle ? aiiuuriuue was men tna oraer or the nay, but the he roea who felt it could rise superior to it in spite of all the crpaking which filed the air. And bave we ncros such, if our straits were as great ? The question seems insolent, and can only be atked ot the croakers. What army of outb has ever been or is ever likely to be as was Wasbingtou'a jvhen he was a fugitive threugh the J ereejs ? Wnen he wandered, from post to post, dis may and distrust before him, death and disaster behind him ? When, at last, he could not mu3ter 4,000 men, and these " were without ten s, blankets or entreuching tools, and but imperfectly clad and badly fed ?" From the right bank ot tbe Hudson, tc the left bank ot tbe Delaware, ha was driven in disorder, without munitions of war, or many men to nse, if he had them, and shorn of popular confidence. . Tbat was a spectacle for tbe croakers, and he vtas a woe-begone mark for their bit ter reproaches. That was the moment for a Royal Pro claroation, commanding " all insurgents to disband, and ail political bodies to relinquish their ass lmed authori ty, grautipg Btxtylaya witnin which to make submis sion " pretty much as Lincoln now does, and with as much effect on the croakers of our day as tbe Royal Proclamation on thote of tbat lime. Of coarse " it was all up " then and yet, Independence was won. "The fearful state ol our currency," cry tbe croekers "is enough to oreak the back ol any struggle." Indeed ! Why, cur currency is sterling compared with that of the Revolutionary ers : and, yet Independence was won. " Yt s, bat they had in those days, advantages peculiar to themselves" so bave we in our days. " They bad a Congresi composed cf tbe wisest heads and bravest hearts tbat-ever met for a country's need" possiblytrxn may yet prove iteself f qaal to such praise. - Tbey bad, it is iadeed true, a sympathizing foreign power, which, be lose it became an open ally, materially aided the cause by its loans, gifts, supplies ot arms, &r. Well, we have resources, within oui selves such as tbey knew not and which are more than a set off to all that occasional aid In the matter of disadvantage, they bud little of none which we had not, in like kind. Time numbers and circumstances alone are altered. They p'ueked Inde pendence from tbe arms of ostensible superiority, en hedged with most formidable obstacles and under the shade of gloom so shall wa. As with them, so with ua, the progress of the war, and the extension of its atrocities, are but destined to intensify energy, snd bring it to a standard worthy of the spirit that inspires it. When tbe .Revolutionary Fatbera had passed through their first darkest sorrows so surpassingly darker j-han any tbat our croakers have yet imagined for us the true peeple wert revived, as if by magic. Then, loss after loss but en larged tbe flame of patriotism. What though treason continued to show Itself near the heart of the contest what though men and officers of an American army, would still, occasionally, fly in disgraceful panic what though gallant women found it necessary to participate in the fight what though most exacting impressment laws became indispensable, on account of tbe indifference of some and the reeceancy of others what though an Ar nold, liKfe a Rutler,r avaged the banks of the James, and British commodores made the fertile valleys of all Amedcan water courses mere waste what tnisf3lioVv?eTncYyl4P QjpumeronsAhan the wrat though the forces in the field were often, almost to tbe last hour, reduced to tbe meanest strength and to the intensest suffering what though all the chiet cities, or nearly all, were conquered what though a dene cloud hung over the whole horizon and filled even Washington's heart with d epest distress--" the divini ty that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will," waa nigh at hand, and out ot the very debris of disas ters Victory was gathered Independence secured. Tbe " great news horn the Jerseys," which culminated at Yorktown, was won by fragments of defeated forces: by little armies on tbe very verge of dissolution. Sue cess being the true elixir of lite, the Washington who, in the shadow of his trials and troubles, was denounced by all the Croakers as a mere Bcostian, came, anon, and suddenly, to be hailed as a Fabius, and a Solomon, and a Saviour. The blaza of a finished triumph had the mftrvpllnna pffpnt of consuming all the blemishes which were previously conspicuous in him to the jiundiced eves nf (Irnakerfl.

Oar correspondent, "Q," lefcrs to a report wlieb la pretty common upon the street, and which baa excited, so far as it bas gained any credit, the utmost iurpria and indignation among oar people. What the citizens ol Virginia, at least, think ol such rtvolationary no tions as are therein nferred tr, may be tern in the no ble aiti. n of our House of Delegates on Tuesday last. Propoeitiocs not a whit more jib rderly, ininoui and fatal than those referred to by MQ" were indifiolttly postponed in the promptest and most indignant man ner, by a vote of 101 to 2. That vo'e spoke for Vir ginia in substance and in manner. We do not doabt but that tbe honor of the State is as truly represented in Congress, and tbat no one ot hit delegates, at least, could have a pait in such exceedingly reprehensible and in clerable proceedings as are imagined. If there be, indeed, a sirgle member remaining ia Cotgre3S who is ia favor of seeking ptaoe by tbe O: enquan road, its ead ot the regular authorised uiude of negotiation which the Consihniion has provided, aid which he has sworn to sapport, be knows but little of the temper of the people, it. he supposes be would meet with tbe least encouragement or toleration or escape tbe most indignant reprtb'jLsion. The sentiment of Gov. Vance is tbe sentiment of our whole people, and tha sworn duty ot our legislators. " Let all of our movements, whether ef peace or war, be in otd eof uwin." There ia neither dignity, honor, nor safety in any other ; nothing but f jlly, treason and tuiu. -. Wortmy cf Being; Naxed A few facta bave recently come to our knowledge in reference to tha conduct of Major James M. Stevenson, 36th N. C. Troops, which are worthy o. bemg named. 1 At the late battle of Harrison's Old Field, which was an ad7anced position, 14 miles from Savannah, Major Stevenson wrj in command with a part of hia own bat tall ion and parts of the 50tb, 40 acd 10th bat tallions. Geo. Hardee did not intend tbem to hght the enemy but merely to bol 1 them in check a few boars ; but tbe order to retreat failing to reach the Mbjor, witn bis small force be fought the enemy till flanked ' by two two briades, by whom be and bis whole command came near being captured.. Information reached Gen. Har dee that the Mojor's command was captured, for a Vankee brigade was in the road by which ha would have o retreat. Maj, StevenBOU, however, seems to have known tbe country better then Gen, Hardee,a informant, and made his escape with all ma men; except thirteen killed. He also brought off all his wounded, his artillery and wag ens, acd tbat same night marched into Savannah and reported in person to Gen. Hardee, by whom be waa warmly received and highly complimented. , . For this act of gallantry aad skill wo think tbe halt that can ba done for Major Stevenson is at hand his exploit round. Such conduct, though doubtless highly appreciated by tba commanding General does not always meat with.reeog. nition in official reports, and we estaem it an important daty of the press to encourage all acta tending to tha efficiency ol the army. By proper encouragement every private in our armies may skilfully act tbe General in emergencies. State Journal. An Incident.

Eight hundred ireretaptured, but owing to some inat tention on the part ot tbe guards, upwards of thrie hundred managed to make their escape while passing through a mountain gap. Among the prisoners was a negro man belonging to one ol the citiuB of Char lottesville. He waa very anxious to give up hia aasocl atea and return to the service ol bis cvuer. Mr. J. C.
