Thofeßuwtag special dispatch to the
Now York Trilntna, from Waihrngton
Dispatches received at the Navy t>e
aartoeut to-day present a picture ofthe
disembarkation of five thousand colored
taoope from the transports of General
Butler's expedition. Their taking up a
strong position and holding it against a
vigorous attack of Brsgg's ttoops, their
assuming then the offensive aad carry
ing, at the point of the bayonet, an
earthwork in front of Fort Fisher, and
from this advantage their dashing at Fort
Fisher itself; which they entered, and
whose flag they hauled down, are worthy
of the highest commendation; but the
handful of heroes being inexplicably
small in numbers, could not hold their
victory. The expelled garrison, being
largely reinforced, returned and retook
the fort, and drove out our black troops
with heavy loss. -
The remnants of them were re-em
barked, but the fleet remained at an
chor, and the men-of-war opened their
fire again upon the fort and the rebel
troops. •"'*"__._
It was known in the fleet that Lee had
sent two divisions of bis best troops to
Bragg. It was also known that Hardee
was hurrying up from Savannah under
orders to save Wilmington.
— the following edi
torial comment on this, disaster" to But
ler's expedition :
Dispatches from Wilmington are con'
tradictory and incomplete. New York
was a little startled yesterday afternoon
by a report from the agent of the Asso
ciated Press that the attack on Wilming
ton had been abandoned, and that both
naval and military forces had arrived
near Fortress Monroe. Two hours later
this statement was cautiously contra
dicted, and the Washington telegrapher
declares that his first report^would seem
to be a mistake. Instead of the whole
fleet, a single vessel, snd that a dispatch
boat, had returned to Fortress Monroe.
But if this later telegram, which ap
pears in our columns mis morning, be
closely scanned, the pruning of the cen
sor's knife will be discovered. We
quote, marking the hiatus: " A detach
ment of troops landed on Sunday after
noon. The skirmishers pushed up gal
lantly to the fort under cover of our fire.
Some of the more daring actually entered
the works and brought off the flag.
The bombardment of the fleet continued
on Monday." And we presume our spe
cial dispatch from Washington does, in
substance, correctly All that yawning
gap. The force under General Butler,
which landed on the Fort Fisher penin
sula, was'notoriously inadequate to con-j
--_i».»i-i a_ ■■■iiiimß mwn uuoanr
Bragg. There were at Wilmington not
merely the-usual garrison, but the two
divisions which Lee sent down when the
sailing of Sorter's fleet was known. —
These troops had time to arrive long be
fore the fleet, which had buffeted the At
lantic storms for a week, and which has
concentrated at last with weakened
numbers and strength. Reckoning,
i therefore, sll the reinforcements which
Bragg had been able to gather, it is safe
to say he considerably outnumbered the
expeditionary corps of General Butler,
and we are entitled, if not compelled, to
infer that when the first assault on Fort
Fisher had failed, it was not found pos
sible to rnajptnin the hold on the land
which had been gained by the landing of
our troops.
General Butler's troops did all that
such a force could have done. They es
tablished themselves on the peninsula—
in itself a triumph—resisted an imme
diate attack by the forces sent down
from Wilmington to fall upon their rear;
then moved against the fort, carried an
outlying earthwork, pressed forward
against the main work, surmounted its
parapet, hauled down its flag, and then—
alas, then, outnumbered by the rein
forced garrison, themselves, attacked by
superior numbers, were compelled to re
linquish all they had won and to seek
again the cover of the ships. That their
losses have been heavy is implied in the
statement that the "remnants" of them
re-embarked—probably under protection
of the fire of the fleet It is plain there
was heroism enough on the part of the
troops; skiU enough on the part of their
commander; but the old, old story of j
insufficient numbers is once more re
hearsed. Wilmington and its defences
were known to be garrisoned strongly;
known to bo capable of quick reinforce
ment from Richmond; proclaimed on
the highest official naval authority to be
impregnable against a naval force sim
ply ; and yet the land force sent to co
operate with the fleet seems to have been
wholly incommensurate with the magni
tude of the enterprise.
There can be no doubt thst the par
ticulars furnished by our special corres
pondent are, in the main, correct The
re-embarkation, moreover,, we. interpret
as equivalent to the abandonment of the
enterprise for the present, since our
forces would have held their ground on
the peninsula had they been able to, or
Vad they seen any prospect of operating
om«4«ntty against the fort They, surely
wouM not have gone on board ship for
the ask* of hazarding the perils of an
other landing on the same shore.

from Thomas's 4 'pursuit"of Hood:

beeo very rapid, fbrwhfck, withoutdoafrt
he has food reasons. It averegee about
seven miles a day. We have repeated
accounts of the d&raaisatfem of Hood's
army, and it is stated that bis corps oom
msnders had orders to get themselves out
of band-s way as beat they could. The
last dispatch from General Wilson, Tho
mas's chief of cavalry, reports thatthepeo.
pie say the rebels are euffejing immensely.
They were beyond question divided,a pert
making straight for Florence, Alabama,
and a part moving on roads further to
the west, in order to protect the pontoons
at Florence, and probably also at Muscle
shoals, from an apprehended flank and
rear movement It sppears further ttot
such a movement on Thomas's part Was
in progress. While Wilson has pressed
the rear guard of Hood, an infantry force,
under Steadman, Thomas tells us, dis
embarked bis troops from the cars at
Limestone creek, sevea miles from De
catur, and was marching on the latter
place on the morning of the 26th. The
object of such a movement can be only
to close up all eastern avenues of reinat
to Hood, and to enforce against tflHe
mains of his army the necessity oT a
southwestern, instead of a southeastern,
retreat from Florence—supposing tbat
army to reach and cross the Tennessee
at that point Hood's position is clearly
one of extreme jieril, and his retreat is
capable of being converted into a flight
A telegram from Columbia, Tennes
see, the 27th, gives the latest intelli
gence from Hood. It says:
From escaped prisoners who have just
arrived from Florence, I learn that the
advance of Hood's army reached Flo
rence on tbe evening of the Ist, and
during the whole of the next day his in
fantry was crossing the river. From
Duck river. Hood retreated rapidly to
the Tennessee, his main army not once
making a stand. Our cavalry crossed
Duck river in time to bare an occasional
brush with Forrest's force, who covered
the enemy's retreat No fighting of any
consequence, however, has occurred since
the aflair at Spring Hill. It is safe te say
the Tennessee is now tt -cfrom rebels.

The official report of Admiral Porter about _>•
Wilmington disaster is published, and fills three
columns of the Times. It is badly put together.—

and thin goes into the particulars of a great gun
yuwaut ysvt m usemuwmg-y «**•*« an..—-. aa*
says:
So much had been said and written about the
terrible effects of gunpowder in aa explosion that
happened lately in England that great results were
expected from this novel mode of making war.—
Everything that ingenuity could devise was adopted
to make the experiment a success. Tbe vessel, was
brought round from Norfolk with great care and
without accident, in tow of the United States steamer
■ Sassacus, Lieutenant-Commander J. L. Davis, who
directed his whole attention to the matter in hand;
and though he experienced some bad weather and
lost one of his rudders, he took her safely into
Beaufort, where he filled her up with powder and
i perfected all the machinery for blowing her up. .
General Butler had arrived at the rendeavoua be
j fore us, and I hasteneddnatters all that I could, ao
that no unnecessary delay might be laid to my
charge.
On the 18th instant, I sailed from Beaufort with
all the monitors, the New Ironsides and the small
vessels, including the Louisiana, disguised as a
blockade-runner,'for the rendeevous, twenty milea
east of New inlet, North Carolina, and found all the
larger vessels and transports assembled there, the
wind blowing light from the northeast.
On the 33a, I directed Commander Rhind to pro
ceed and explode the vessel right under the walls of
Fort Fisher, Mr. Bradford, of the Coast Survey,
having gone in at night and ascertained that we
i could place a vessel of seven feet draught right on
| the edge of the beach. Lieutenant R. EL Lamaon,
commanding the Gettysburg, volunteered to go
[in the Wilderness, Acting Master Henry Any
in command, and tow the Louisiana into po-
I sition. At 10.30 P. M. Uie powder vessel
started toward the bar, and was towed by
the Wilderness until the embrasures of Fort
Fisher were plainly in sight. The Wilderness then
cast off, aid the Louisiana proceeded under steam
until within two hundred yards of the beach and I
five hundred from the fort. Commander Rhind an
chored'her securely there and coolly, went to work
to make all his arrangements to blow her up. Thii
he was enabled to do, owing to a blockade-runner
going in right ahead of him, the forts making th*
blockade-runner signals, which they also did to the
Louisiana. The gallant party, after coolly making
all their arrangements for the explosion, left the
vessel. The last thing they did being to set her on
fire under the cabin, and then taking to their boats,
they made their escape off the Wilderness, lying
close by. The Wilderness then put off shore wit
good speed to avoid any ill effects that might hap
pen from the explosion.
At forty-five minutes past 1 o'clock on the morn
ing of the 24th the explosion took place. The shock j
was nothing like so severe aa waa expected; it shook
the vessels some and broke one or two glasses, but
nothing more.
The gunpowder arrangement having failed, the
bombardment was commenced. Of it, he says:
Cue or two leading vessels having made ttfu_e
take of anchoring too far off, caused those waning
after them to commit a like error; but whealthey
all got into place and commenced work in tswieat,
the shower of shell (one hundred and fifteen per
minute) was irresistible. So quickly were the ene
my's guns silenced that not an officer or tosa waa
injured.
I regret, however, to have to report seme severe
casualties by the bursting of six one -undred-ptfu-der
Farrott cannon. One burst on board the fteoade
roga, killing six of the crew and wounding •*▼**
others: another Durst on board lhe Yankee! killing
one officer and two men; another on the Juniata,
killing two officers, and wounding and killing ten
others: another on the Mackinaw, killing one offi
cer and wounding five men; another on the Quaker
City, wounding, I believe, two or throe; another on
**iho Susquehanna, killing and wounding seven. I
think' thO bursting of the guns (aixinafl) nwehdiß
eoncerted the crews of the vessels where the acadonts
happened, and gave one and all a great diltraßt of
the Farrott one hundred-poundera, and a* ******
quent events proved, they were unfit for aerTio*_*nd
calculated to kill more of our own man tbe* f* o **
ofthe enemy. Some of the vessels wur«#uck
once or twice. The Mackinaw had her boß*EP«*'

vantared upon the parapet, and through the silly

brought off, killing the .irderiy,' who was the hearer
of a dispatch from the chief of artillery of General
! Whiting, to bring a light battery within the fort;
and alao brought, away from the parapet the flag of
the fart. This was done while the shells of the navy
were falling about the heads of the daring men who
entered the work; aad it was evident, as soon as tha
Are of the nary ceased because of the darkness, that
the fort was fully manned and opened with
grape and canister upon our picxet line.
Finding that nothing .but the operations of a re
gular siege, which did not come within my instruc
tions, would reduce the fort, and in view of the
threatening aspect of the weather, the wind arising
from the southwest, rendering it impossible to make
further landing through the surf, I caused the
.troops, with their prisoners, to re-embark, and I see
nothing further that can be done by the land forces.
I shall, therefore, sail for Hampton Roads as soon

General: I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of this date, the substance of which
was communicated to me by General Weitsel last
night. I have ordered the largest vessels to proceed
off Beaufort to All up with ammunition, to be ready
■for another attack in case it is decided to proceed
with this matter by making other arrangements.—
We have not commenced firing rapidly yet, and
could keep any rebels inside from moving their head
until an assaulting column was within twenty yards
of the works. I wish some more of your gallant fel
lows had followed the officer who took the flag from,
the parapet, and the brave fellow who brought the
horse out from the fort- I think they would have
found it an easier conquest than is supposed. Ido
not, however, pretend to place my opinion in oppo
sition to General Weitsel, whom I know to be an ac
complished soldier and engineer, aad whose opinion
has great weight with me,

A correspondent of the New York Times gh eean
account of the laud fighting, of which there ap
pears to have been hardly any at all. The first
regiment that landed was the One Hundred and
Forty-second New York, who celebrated the event
by " nine long and lusty cheers." Another regi
ment then "marched a few yards" and captured
the Flag-Pond battery, with sixty-five men. The
rest of this laughable conflict is thus described:
While tins was going on, the One Hundred aad
Forty-Meond New York regiment, having formed
oatlieba*c_,W«*»m-re_*A-y iij t_* attention of
Port Fisher. Captain WinsloVs company waa de
ployed aa sfcrmi.hers. These gallant fellows not
only marched three miles up a beach that had the
full sweep of the guns en that side of Port Fisher,
but they aetaally took shelter under the suns.
that, Wit one of the number crept up to an
angle of the fort and shot and killed a mounted
orderly who had just paased within the sally port,
epturing his mule, and took from him an unpor
ot dispatch which he was conveying to the com
mandant from the rebel authorities in Wilmington.
That was not all achieved by that gallant regiment
on that occasion. Soon after arriving at the fart, a
company deployed to the right aad surprised and
captured over two hundred rebels who were march
ing down a road. In the meantime, the other regi
ments st Colonel Curtis's brigade, Second division,
Twenty-fourth corps, landed and formed in line.—
This brigade was followed by the Third brigade.
The entire number of troops that landed did not
exceed three thousand out of seven thousand on
the transports. J. few colored troops landed, re
mained on the beach au hour or two, and were then
ordered to return to the steamers. One other regi
ment started to follow the One Hundred and Forty
secosd, and when they had advanced a mile or so
were marched back to the place of landing, with
the exception of making a reconnoissance in the
direction of the Half-Moon battery and skirmishing
a little with the enemy in the woods. The above
particulars include all that was accomplished by
the land force of the expedition sent to operate
against the Wilmington defences. The: Jtroops that
did land took with them nothing in the way of pro
visions—not even a piece of hard bread. They had
not been on the land three hours—some a less time
t-an that—before orders were issued to re-embark.
[ THB 88-BXBABXATIOB OB THB TROOBS.
I On Sunday night, the troops that had landed
during the day were busily engaged getting them
selves back to the transports. The night was
dark and stormy, and by no means propitious for
such an undertaking. All of the small boats of the
vessels under Captain Glisson were brought into the
service, and the work of re-embarking progressed as
I S_t as wind and weather would admit. In the
meantime the rebels in Fort Fisher would occasion
-1 ally send a shot howling down the beach. At six
j o'clock in the morning all of the troops, with the
exception of nearly five hundred, had been placed
again on board of the transports. The five hundred
could not be got off to-day in consequence of the
tremendous swell of the Bea, which made it -utterly
impossible for a boat to go to the shore. There axe
no fears, however, as to their safety, for a number
of gunboats lay ready ta open on the rebels should
they attempt a demonstration.
This morning (Monday, the 26th.) the weather
was thick and cloudy, and the sea ran quite high —
At 10 o'clock a large, dense column of smoke ap
peared above Fort Fisher, caused, doubtless, by
burning buildings in the vicinity. The Brooklyn
ran down abreast the fort and opened on it, keeping
up the fire for over an hour. Not a reply came from
Fort Fisher. To-day the fleet did not engage ia
action. The iron-ciads and large wooden vessels
were employed taking in coal and ammunition pre
paratory to renewing the fight to-ijaorrow. It is the
intention of Admiral Porter to bombard the works
until something definite and satisfactory shall be ac
complished.
