We -rhidl ba forcad to incur the curia impreeaUd by Macbeth upoa fcini who first oried " Hold, enough !" For the present wa think our readers have had enough of Fort Fisber. There is no use crying over spilt milk) and that miik is past crying for. We publish to-day a long communieatioa from M N. C ," npon this sabjoct and matters ia f aneral. " We will gianca at a very fw points." First : Casemate battfrirs ia a sand Fort : Oa our visit to Fort Fisher a fyw d .ys l firB attack, w made it a special basinet to equira after thosti that had been construct crl, and f uud thty bad been abandoned as batteries. I he ic.;sn tu-signed, from which there seemed to be no di?s'nt, was that, the embrcsarf s could aot be made to - . a 1 stand. kS cood : Fortihaations to prevent a Janciing between Fort Fisher and tha head of tfca Sound, with a lice of rtd ubis from the h5&d of tha Sound to the ."agar Loaf. To this we would simply say, that Fort f isher itself w:3 found too large for ita garrison, and the iitumpt to fortify five miles more would have been .Ma; ly to provido a certain Eumber of isolated mantrap-, which could not have resisted the fire that sub dued tsc fire of Fisher. A line of redoubts between the Lt-d or the Sound acd Sagar Loaf could only have inteip'.SLd .i buric-r betweon our town and our fort. The real mis'ortuue seems to have been, that after the .-t ututk the troops were brought up to town; that t bw- c- n"! attack was in the nature of a surprise, and that the troops could not be returned in time to meet it io advantage. It a line across the Peninsula was netd d, it could have bteu made in the time that inter vtLul -lelween the firt and second attack. The ene a;y ha i si'ip in between our cav-lry picket?, atd are ii i tLcfii u b-twtea us and the fort before we know it. p;o bho, that if wuika were wanted on the Pcnineu la, th.rc Wc3 atuudant time to have made thtm. U.jt, ,vc bav-r neither time nor inc inatioa to go far ther into t'.is 8.:bject at present. We have never been auiocg t'.o-e who have hjr hly animadverted upon Gmral Bragg, n:;d have no sympathy with diatribes hke thes. indulged ia by the Charleston Jlecwy uud f.m.-other pa,jis. Still we cannot sympathise with i ibi-tcrnt.-.s vhich cbaractenz- s a portion of our cor .5por.dtn'.'3 r.ruc.e. We trink there has been too much ol ihf idrady, and it can do no good, and may do much hurra. Two wrongs do nc make a right, al Locgb th fir.t ia the greater. I; is suid ;.o' very respic.fu'ly to human nature we coo few that trie absent; have no f .leads. This we feel certain U not so, still we thiak it would work better and be better to postpone discussion upon these sub jects un .il t.ome ct the absent can return. NothiDg is nnw io bj guiaed by controversy. Daily Journal, 21th. The Confederacy differs from mtst folks in this much that it woaid do her much good to have one Footk in the grave.

The Herald thus turns on Butler in his hour of ad versity. All good men, whilst acknowledging the j us tice of the Herald's strictures upon thi3 outlaw, mnst wonder at the perversity that allowed even so vile a sheet to tolerate the disgraced militiaman " as it has heretofore done : MUTINY IN HIGH PLACES A DUTTMKi LIKC0LN OWES THE AEMT. Having shown utter anfitness for military command in his recent operatioi.8 against Wilmington, General Butler has been very properly relieved aod ordered to his home in Lowell, there to a vait orders in due course through the Adjutant General of the army. Tbis is the polite way, we arc aware, of informing incompetent Gen erals that tbeir servict a will never again, in all likeli hood, ba put into requisition ; and perhaps this punish meut for Butler's fiasco at Foit Fisher might have been sufficient had not the irrepressible lawyer soldier of the Bay State seen fit to make his "farewrll order ro bis troops " tbe vehicle tor a direct and most dama ging attack upon the administration, and a bitter sneer against ttie General in-Coief of our armies, well calcu lated to encourage mutiny and disc ntent and positive revolt among tbe troops now engaged in the attack upon Richmond. " I have refused " saya Border, to wardd the close of his bombastic order, " to order use less sacrifices of the lives ot such soldiers, and I am relieved of your commaud " tne inf renee here being obvious that a biood-tbiraty administration, pa ting tor the useless Slaughter of its own meu, has removed thit compassionate officer solely and wholly because ht would not be a party to tneaa sanguinary and unpro ductive sacrifices. In the next eemence tbe insinuation against General Grant is yet more broad, palpable and insubordinate, where Butler says r The wasted blood of my men d.Msnot stain my garments" tba very cbarg? with whico be rebel journals and orators, both oi Richmond and New York, nave been endeavoring to poison the loyalty of our troops in tee field daring the past twelve months. We respect fully submit to the President that stmu punishment more severe than retirement to hia home in Lowell and the society of tbe sturdy bricklayer of that place should be awarded to General Butler for tbe un-soldier-like and mutinous sneers contained in the last paragraph of this precious order. For such a failure aa that made by tbe Massachusetts militia-man at (J pe Fear Island any commander in the French or British service would moat certainly be court raartia led, and would be lucky to escape with simple cashierment on the finding of bis peers ; bat for an original ofience of so grave a character, when aggravated by tbe turbu lent and undisciplined spirit evinced in such an order as we hav c.uoied the more rigorous sys tems of all old Uiilitary nations bave prescribed an inexorable penalty, to waica "we do not care at present more pointedly to refer. This bow tver we are assured of that Mr. Lincoln owes it to him self and the country to reseat tbe imputation sought to by c?at upon General Grant by the flying arrow of this Partbean warrior, and that General Butler, having re ceived only tbe mild punisnment of- being relieved aad sent noine for his recent ridiculous failure, should now be summarily dismissed tbe service for having, in so high a place, set an exampla of mutiny and insolence, not only " prejttdiciat to," but wholly subversive oi, "good order and military discipline' it goffered to pass without some such scathing rtDase. io a man et Gen eral Butler's ca.'t of mind remaining at home and safe out of barm's way is not likely to prove a very insup portable rnnict'on. lie should be mustered out an an order reciting tbe same language we bave qaoted aa the cause of bis dismissal..

Tbe sailors and marine, on teaching a point three quar ters of a mile from the fort, were opened upon with grare atd canister from two of ire embrasures, whilst the main portion of the garrison appeared on the parapets with mus keta and rifle, and mowed down oar men. The first di vision comirg up last could nt get into the ditch, and consequently had no cover or protection They were thm compe-iied to order a retreat, and a lar.e portion of the o'her divisions obeyed the order, ieaviug enl? abcut two hand ed U' d-r cover.

They bo h died in the trenches, nd their bodies wt re not recovered until after the Fort fell, when they were brougbt to tbe flagship. Assistant burgeon William Lougehaw, Jr., of the Minnesota, who volunteered to accompany tho assaulticg party, persisting in exposing himself to relieve the necessities of his wound ed comrades, was shot down and died in tho trenches. Hp is the Surgeon who volunteered to carry a hawser to tbe Weebawken wh-n she was aaerouud under the walls of Moultrie and subjected to a severe fire. The number of officers wounded is unprecedented. Lieutenant Wallaoe, of the m.rmo corps, from on board the Susquehanna, received a shot in the thigh, oaus'ng a componad fracture ; Lieu t riant Cushman, of tbe Wabash, wound in leg; Lieut. Commaading Allea, of the Tuscarora, wounded ia the arm; Lient. Bache, of the Powhatan, wound in leg; Knsign Evans, of the Powhatan, both legs wounded ; Lieut.

Wo cculd see from tbe fleet bat little of what was going on west ot the fort, further than the occasional glimpse oi the prolonged contest, which had cot elosed when dark nebs set in, and could then only bo inferred irorn tbe flap li es of the musketry observable on tbe ramparts and in tbe interior of the work. Acting Master' Mate, 8. W. K?mpton, of tho Santiago, was sent on shors In charge of a boat placed at tbe service of General Terry, and being invited by one of the staff to join them in tbe assault, aotually entered the fort with Gen.

The ffiertcan'j correspondent, writing the day alter the fall, says : -Whilst we wre loolrjj-g at Fort Fuheruader theFeder- al flag, and rejo'ciae over its downfall, a trenendus ex plosion took p'acs in its vary oenfre, sounding loader than the boom of a 15-inch gun. A volume of smeko asd sand roEe fifty feet in tbs air, enveloping and biding from view the whole of thia immense work for four or five miuntes It was at once apparent that the migaiioe bad exploded, and that it must have baea aooomprvn ed with great loss ef life. We soon after learned that tbe destruction- of life was not less than two hundred, including maay sailors from the fleet who ba& not vet returned to their ships. It was occasioned by the carelessness of some of the colored troops la carrying candles int the magazine. X large qmantity cf corn meal had been toned stored in a magazine, which tbe colored soldiers bad freely csedfcx their breakfasts, aot knowing that it also contained a ton or asore of powder, nnderneatl tbe meal. The exact man ner in which theirs was communicated cannot, of course, be keown, but It is presumed that there was seme loose powder on the floor, into whioh a spark fell. It was a ter rible event, so soon following oar great victory. I have heard the names of seme regiments that are said to have suffered most, but for fear fhat ray intelligence may not be reliable, it were, perhaps, better aot to mention tbem. Various rusaors were afloat with regard to this terrible catastrophe, some attributing it to the work of a torpedo; but on inquiring, I learn that it was uodonbtely the result of carelessness, or rather the lack of knowledge of the pre sence cf powder. The loss of life bv the explosion, I learn, is about two hundred, besides quite a number wounded The magazine that exploded was in the very centre of the parade, and it has scooped out tha earth to a gteat depth for fifty feet around, and added to the desolation that reigns in tbi'i va-t monument of engineering ability. Qmte a umber ot Bail ors from the fiaet and s cme officers also suffered from tbis explosion. They bad gone ashore to examine the work, and fell victims to their excusable curiosity. Tbe pay masters of tha Gettysburg and the Tlcenderega, and an ensign from tbe detuburg, are refbrted arnon the vic tims. OFFICIAL EEF0ST OF ADMIRAL PORTER A POP AT OLD BUTLE8. Dxitsd Tars Flagship Malybrh, Off Fort Fl.her, Jau. 15 1&65 J Sir : I have the bocor to inform you that we h.ve pos session of Fort Fisher, and tbe fVil of the sunxundoag worts will soon follow. As I informed you in my last, we had commenced oper ations with the iron, vessels, wui:h bombarded while w landed the troops. On tbe 14th, I ordered all the vessels carrying eleveo-ifch e,ast' bo-orard with 'h s IronHd-s t e Brook yn taking the load. saustt the fort a re duoed to a pulp, livery guu wts silenced by being iij j ed or covered with earth bo t:at they woa d not wora. On the 16th. General Tersy and myself arraaged lor the assault, and 1 ordered tour teen hundred aa lorn ana ma rines to participate. At daylight tbe iron vessels, 'lie Brooklyn and eleyen-ioch gunboats commenced bartering tbe work, while the trojps made a lcdgaient within oie hundred acd fifty yard j of the fort At 10 o'clock, ail the vessels steamod in and tok their etatkns, opening a heavy tire, wh'cn was kept op until 3 P wheu th signal was made to assault, the soldiers taking the land eide and tbe sailors the sea face, the ships changing, ba-. njt stopping tbeir lire to the other works. The tebe smeta with a courage worthy of a better cause nd lought desperately. About thirty of tho sailors aud officers succeeded iu get ting to tbe top of the parapet amidst a mu derom rl e ot grape acd canister aud muakotry. ihey had planted the flag there, but were swept avay in a moment, others tried to get up the steep pan eoupee The marines could have Cleared tbe parapet ty keeping u a steady fire, but ihe taLed to do so, ad the saiicrs were repu oei. Uny a g il 1 nt fellov- fell trjing to emulate their brothers iu a m- who were fighting to obtain au entrance on the northeast angle, as it appears oa our chart. The enemy mistook the seamen's attack for tbe m Wi b dy of troops, and offered a na st vigorous resistance there, but 1 witnessed it all, and think the marines could have maoe the assault successful. In the meantime our g&ll&nt soldiers had gained a foot hold on the northwest corner of the fori, fighting like lions and contestiog every inch of ground. The Ironsides and moni ors kepi throwing their ehcl'a iuto the traverses not ocoupied by oar men, out occupied by the rebels. In this way our troops fought from traverse to traverse from .1 o'clock in the afternoon uatil 10 o'clock at night, when the joyiul tidi&ga were signal!, d to the ilaet. We stopped our tire and gave them three ot tho heartiest cheers 1 ever heard. 0 It has been the racst terriSo straggle I ever siw, with very much hard labor. The troops had covered themselves wi'.h glory, and Gen eral Terry is my 6eau ideal of a soldier and a general, oui operations have been most harmonious, aad I ihiuk tho General will do tbe navy the credit to say that tbis time, a?, least, we substantially injured the fort as a defensive work, General Terry had only a few more troops Una wo had on the laut occasion, when the enemy bad oaly one hundred and tally men in the works, ibis time tbe works were ful ly manned, and couti'Ontd about ei.ht hundred meu at the time of the assault. It is a matter cf regret to me to see my gallant officers and men so cut up, out 1 was unwilling to let the troops undertake he capture of th) works without the navy's sharing with them the peril all were anxious to undergo, and we should have had the honor ot meeting cur brothers-iu-arms ia the works bad the sailors been properly sup ported. We have lost about two hundred meu in killed and wounded, and aoid-gst them some gallant ofUsers. I regret to announce tha death of Lieutenant &. VV. Pres tos and Lieutenant ii. H. Porter. Tney were both cap tured together iu the attack upon Fort dumter, and died together in endeavoring to pun down th? flag that hia so long flaunted in outfaces. Lieutenant R. 11. Lsmsiu was seveYely wounded. He was lately associated with Lieut. Preston in his perilous adventure with the powder-boat. Lieut. George M. Bache and a number of others were wounded, the former cot dangerously. The assault only took place a few hours ago, aod I am unable to iuiorm you cf oar casualties. Ihey are quite severe irom the assault, bat we bad no casualties from tho enemy's cannon. Kuoing tha importance of the Department recti; kg news troai Fo t Yisher, I havd written in these few huiriud lines. iNo one cn conceive what the army aud navy iiavo gone through to achieve this victory wbioh should bave oteu ours on Christmas day without tbe loss ot a dozuu men.
