OUR WILMINGTON CORRES
PONDENCE.
Wrucnroroif, December 27,1864.
The enemy, checkmated and defeated
at aU points, has abandoned the strip of
ground on which he was crouching above
Fort Fisher, and, under cover of hi>
powerful fleet, re-embarked on board his
transports. His monitors and numerous
other ships-of war have hauled off from
Fort Fisher, ang, for ths present at least,
have abandoned the attempt to carry thai
etronghokL Such is the result of three
days ef fighting aad the fiercest bom
bardment to which any fort or town was
•ver subjected. But let us take up the
thread of events where my last letter
leftit
As soon ss the enemy's infantry had
gained a foothold on the mainland, o.i
Sunday afternoon, the 23th instant, they
threw themselves across the narrow spit
* *-£- Fort ra^mm-*- 1 -**
* got between Kirk-land's' brigade and the
fori, while Kirkland was between them
and Wilmington. They moved forward
immediately against Fisher, and attempt
ed to carry it by a coup de main; but
the brave garrison, quitting their guns
and taking up their muskets, easily re
pulsed them. A second assault was
made, and with the like result; after
which tho enemy withdrew up the beach
beyond the reach of the Confederate fire
and wait to work entrenching themselves
under outer of their protecting fleet.—
They ( mhde some prisoners among the
. junior reserves when they advanced down
against the fort; but beyond this our
loss fins small, being less than fifty
killed and wounded. Nearly all of our
casualties consist of light wounds, but
few bating been killed. Among the
wounded was the brave Lieutenant-Colo
nel Read, from Savannah, of tbe artillery,
whose left arm was torn off near the
shoulder by a shell while he was sight
ing a gun. He wss doing well this morn
ing.
Another account states that the as
saults against tho fort were repulsed by
the junior reserves of this State. It is
certain that these youthful soldiers have
played an important part in the defence
of the fort, and have acquitted themselves
with much credit The fleet continued
its fire until the infantry were ready to
begin the assault, when, at a signal from
tho shore, every vessel ceased its fire,
nnd tho men on the water became specta
tors of the fight oa the land. Very lit
tle damage was sustained by the fort,
which is probably the strongest earth
wort, inthe world. Mortar firing' was
kept np against the fort throughout the
night,-doing no injury beyond interrupt
ing the rest of the men. A heavy rain,
accompanied by high winds, prevailed all
night, *nd seemed to render the position
of the enemy's forces on shore still more

The situation, though not desperate,

prevent their landing. Both their land
ing and their withdrawal were covered
by the fleet, which Came* in near shore,
and was quite U effective in protecting
the movement ai a Urge, web-manned
fort - *
Such is the finale of the Christmas
campaign of Beast Butler and Admiral
Porter. It is not supposed they have
wholly abandoned their designs against
North and South Carolina; but, for the
present, their attack upon Wilmington
and its defences is checked and baffled.
It is impossible to say what has been the
loss of the enemy. We know that a
number of his vessels were disabled and
two barges, filled with men, blown but
ofthe water; but beyond this we are
without information. Weitzel's negro
division was not landed, and some of the
prisoners report that Butler was at New
born, while others say he was present
before Fort Fisher. We learn from the
same authority that the infantry force
which assaulted Fort Fisher consisted of
Ames's division, twenty- fourth (cdn
■ solidated) corps, Butler commanding.
FROM
The Express of Saturday # contains the
following about the situation €ver there :
. " * All quiet along the line' may, with
great truth, be applied to the military
situation here, for nothing has occurred
since the raid on the Weldon railrosd to
break the quiet in this vicinity.
"The only activity observable inside
the Yankee lines is displayed in the
building of winter quarters and the chop
ping of wood, of which a vast quantity
is needed to supply the army. We regret
to learn that a large number of private
dwellings adjacent to the enemy's lines
have been pulled down and the timbers
hauled away to build winteijpquarters.— ■
The Yankee operations in this respect
are mainly confined to the Jerusalem
plankroad,. the Mill road, and the rail
road and vicinities. Many of the fine re
sidences, and all the out-bout es attached,
in striking distance of these roads, have
been leveled to the ground, and weather
boarding, timbers, bricks, and everything
that could be used, have been transported
within the Yankee lines and usad in the
construction of winter quarters. No de
serted house is spared, and in many in
stances only a room is left for" an entire
family. A party of Yankees recently
visited the premises of Mr. William Gee,
of Prince George, and robbed him of
thirty thousand feet of lumber. - Many
IJ *M \**m» %—.1. ,m*nmfmmm***- —-■-—-*■-- '— i lit *
been-completely ruined. "
11 The parties who go out on these ex
peditions generally number from one
hundred to one thousand men, and their
operations are not alone confined to pull
ing down houses, but also extend to
Healing negroes and provisions of every
ki id. Several days since, a detachment
of one hundred of the Thirteenth Penn
sylvania cavalry, under command of Ma
jor McCabo, was ambushed by a party
of four Confederate scouts aad actually
forced back from their expedition. Six
of the Yankees were killed, and their
bodies fell into the hands of our scouts.
Major McCabe was also killed. This
officer was one of the most brutal ty
rants who ever oppressed a community
or abused power, and the rejoicing is
general over his death.
" The only cavalry force of the enemy
south of the Appomattox is General
Gregg's division. There is, however, a
very large infantry force, all in winter
quarters. These quarters are neatly
built, and resemble large villages, look
ing very beautiful in their regularity at a
distance."
! TEE SOLDIERS' DINNER.
• Camf GoanoN's Division, 1
December 29, 1864. )
To tike Editor of the Richmond Dispatch :
'Tis Christmas. Yet how differently
do we feel this damp morning, huddled
around our camp-fires, from what we
were wont to enjoy four years ago—be
j for* fanaticism had driven us from our
pleasant homes to battle for freedom's
cause. However, we do not complain.
Accustomed to fine Christmas dinners,
:we were content to enjoy our dry bread
and bacon without complaint But now
we are told that the good eitiiens of
Richmond and the adjacent country con
template giving a nice New-Year's dinner
to this army.
This intended act of generosity on the
part of citizens the soldiers highly appre
ciate in anticipations, yet many of the
soldiers begin already to predict that
those for whom it is intended will receive
but a very small amount, the most of it
being appropriated' by the officers and
attachees of the quartermaster and com
missary departments—the various officers
through whose hands they pass, and es
pecially their sonants. Such things are
anticipated by the soldiers, and i? any
way can be invented by the leaders in
ttfia move to carry the provisions to those
for whom they are intended instead of
™' n gfecked away in their tents for fu
ture feast* of the above-mentioned "at
taeheea ana jervants, a great favor will
be done the sclera and the dinner will
bs mueb prissdb- theanns bearing men.
There is no new*«f interest along the
lines. Slow firing gwe on continually
between the. pickets of *c two armies,
aad operations are in which
gjftly strengthen our lunaw on the
