Luicolni'c aii******* ■■•***foen new broken
up by the great soldiers whose fame has
now become universal and immortal. —
The renown of Jackson seems to be as
fresh and umUim, r ; v ?oad as on the day
when ills grorioua star first sank from
our horizon. Whilst the whole world
did him honor, and the old soldiers of
Fiance, who know so well how to ap
preciate military genius, delighted to
hang over the plans of his campaigns,
his career seems to have Bunk deeply
and lastingly into the English heart, and
that as we apprehend, for reasons which
it may not be amiss, even at this time of
day, for aspirants for military fame to
consider.
It was not alone the splendid courage
of Jackson which attracted the eyes of
the world, for courage in the Confede
racy is as common as among the Ro
mans of the Republic. The coward is
the exception. Ninety-nine out of every
hundred of the Stonewall Brigade were
worthy in this quality of their leader.—
It was not the evidences of his superior
military ability alone, great as that un
doubtedly was: but it was the combina
tion of genius in his profession, with
tremendous energy, a quality which is to
a soldier what "action, action, action,"
is to an orator, that composed the broad
foundations of his fame. Nor was thri
all. The English, who are pre-eminently
a nation of methodical industry, and
who have attained their present great
ness by being so, were delighted to find
in this illustrious warrior a man who was
not afraid to work, who gave as syste
matic and patient attention to the details
of duty as to the operations of the bat
tle-field, and who neither lost a battle
nor lost a wagon train. It is a fact, that
if any one wanted to find Jackson, he
j was as likely to find him among his wa- |
i gons as anywhere else, and that the loss j
of a few old wagons, which, on one oc
casion, .got stalled in crossing the Poto
mac, and which, we understand, were
the only wagons he ever lost, gave him a
distress which, according to the account
of an eye-witness, was almost ludicrous.
The English saw at a glance what this
man was made of; that he was no dash
ing soldier of buttons and embroidery,
of fuss and feathers; that he was, on
the contrary, a thoroughly sincere and
honest man, not thinking of himself, but
of the business he had in hand, and that,
in going about that business, he was as
prompt, persistent and practical as he
was skillful and courageous. If anything
was to be done by Jackson it must be
done at once, and done in a workmanlike
manner. Whilst his grand figure occu
pied the foreground in the public eye, it
occupied the background in his own. If
his name shall survive that of his country,
it will be because she bad so few such
bumble and laborious servants; few who,
(ke htm, were not only ready to sacrifice
it.." hi es, but their ease and all thoughts
f self upon her altar.
Would that the spirit of Jackson might
live among all em- military aspirants j
In his courage, great as it was, he has
had many equals, but in his forethought,
his practicalness, his rapidity, how few!
There is a good deal too much talk about
cavaliers, and chivalry, and all that-
Common sense and hard work are the
things needed now. Jackson iunderstood
the enemy we arc dealing with. He knew
! their patient, pains-taking, indefatigable
i habits of labor, and that these must
j triumph in the end unless met by corre
sponding qualities on our part, lie has
hflus a memorable example of those
j qualities, as well as of the skill, daring
| and energy of a great soldier. If his tx
! ample is imitated by the officers of our
armies, he will not have lived and died
in vain.

for nearly a year an incessant bombard

Fisher has given an illustration of the
same truth which will never be for

sailed by over fifty ships of war, inclu

armed frigates and sloops, has not only

FROM WILMIXOTOX.
[Correspondence of the Bichmond Dispatch.]
Wilmington, December 30, ISG4. i
The giand Federal armada, as you
have already been informed by the tele
graph, has disappeared from the mouth
of the Cape Fear, leaving Fort Fisher
unhurt and Wilmington still standing.
" Some dew to One oast, i
Some siew to the Wt Bt, ,
Ami some flew to the cuckoo's ucst."
The bombardment of Fort Fisher was
the heaviest and fiercest to which any
fort or town was ever subjected. The
front faces of the fort are honeycombed
from bottom to top, and the ground in
front and rear is covered with shells and
torn into great pits and gullies. In some
places one can hardly walk without
stumbling over the shells and solid shot
rained upon the devoted garrisoni And
yet the fort remains intact, and is as
strong and sound to-day as it was when
Porter first opened upon it Our loss,
too, is wonderfully small, being three
killed outright and fifty-five wounded.—
Two Brooke guns, cast at Selma, burst;
two others were dismounted by our own
carelessness, and two by the.lire of the
enemy. Such is the nett result of the
long 'day's bombardment by fifty-nine
vessels of war and live hundred and
eighty-three gwn?. The bombardment
on the first day lasted five hours, and on
the second, seven hours; during which
fr is estimated over twenty thousand
shots were fired by the enemy. The fort
| responded slowly and dtlitberately, firing
I only six hunrV.e I ar.dV-ty-iwo shots the
j first day, and six hundred the second.
I Colonel Lamb, who is as modest as he
is brave, informs me that the fort did not
begin to put forth all its strength—that
he hoped and expected the enemy would
come up nearer and give hi.nl a better
opportunity—and that the late battle
has satisfied him that no fleet, however
formidable, will ever be able to reduce
the fort. 11 the co-operating land forco
had succeeded in effecting a lodgment on
shore, even then he should .have been
able to hold out for several weeks, hav
ing already made provision against such
a contingency.
Prisoners report that there were three
divisions of infantry present, of which
three brigades of Ames's division were
landed. And we know from the enemy s
i newspapers that the flea, including
transports and tenders,--numbered not
less than one hundred and fifty vessels,
of all grades. Of these, live were iron
clads, carrying thirty guns • four wooden
tenders, carrying twenty-two guns; and
fifty wooden hulls, carry
and thirty-one guns, In all, fifty mno
war Vessels and live hundrea' and eighty
three guiis. ,-. ,
The garrison which succassiully tn *
stood this formidable force consisted of
detachments of the Tenth, Thirty-sixtp
and Fortieth North Carolina rtghnent*.

Adams's light Ijattery, and a detachment
from the navy, under Captain Chapman ;
all under the immediate command of
Colonel Lamb, and to whom General
Bragg and General Whiting unite in
awarding great credit. General Whiting
is also entitled to high praise, not only
for his bearing during the tierce conflict,
but for the admirable engineering skill
displayed in the construction of Fort
Fisher. This work has been en
tirely built*since the beginning of the
war. the greater part of it by General
W liiting who has thus ere ste'd i m< au
ment 10 his memory that will long stand
to attest his skill and perseverance. Of
General Bragg—of whom it has become
unfashionable to speak except in terms
of disparagement—l will only say tliat
history will gauge the weed of praise due
him by the extent and formidable charac
ter ol the enemy's force, and th* 1 limited
means by which he met and tulficd him.
The leader may form some idea of the
nature of the enemy's fire when'he is told
that nothing could live in the open space
in the rear and front of the fort and that
even camp dogs and pigs were killed se
veral hundred yfrds behind the fort.
Scouts report that Butler made a speech
at Newborn, last week, in which he pro
mised to eat his Christmas dinner in
Wilmington, They report, also, that
parts of a negro regiment and of the Fifth
United States regulars were lost at sea
during the gale.
Only two hlockaders were visible off
the bar to-day.
CONGRATULATORY ORDER OF OEMEBAL
BRAGG TO THE TROOPS AT WILMING
TON.
headquarters )
Department of North Carolina, >
Wilmington, December 29,1804. )
Gent nil Orders, No. 17.
Tiie commanding general desires to
congratulate the officers and men en
gaged in the recent operations near this
place on their successful termination.—
One of the most formidable expeditions
yet organized by the enemy —an impo
sing force of veteran troops, supported
by a fleet carrying over five hundred
guns, has accomplished no other object
' than a fruitless landing on a barren coast,
followed in forty-eight hours by a hasty
re-embarkation.
This auspicious result is due, under a
merciful Providence, to the skill of Ma
jor-General Whiting, who planned the
defences at the mouth of the Cape Fear,
to the gallantly and endurance of Colonel
Lamb and the brave garrison of Fort
fisher, under his immediate command,
worthily seconded by Lieutenant Chap
man, of the navy, and his devoted sea
men serving Battery Buchanan, and the
steady coolness with which Brigadier-
General Kirkland, with a part of his bri
gade, cheeked the advance of vastly su
perior numbers of the enemy.
Thus another gigantic effort of a pow
erful enemy has come to naught, but not
without affording us profitable lessons!
The successful defence of Fort Kisher
against one of the most formidable naval
armaments of modern times proves that
the .superiority of land batteries over
I ships of war, at one time threatened by
the improvements in artillery and ship
armor, has been re-established by the
genius of the engineer; and the weaker
party, on the defensive, may still defy
the greater numbers and mechanical re
sources of an arrogant invader. Let us
hope that the check which the enemy
has received at the mouth of the Cape
Fear may prove the harbinger of a re
newed series of Confederate victories !
By order of General Bragg.

Assistant Adjutant-General.

The war about the Wilmington disas

papers, and we may expect soon to see
Butler and Porter brought individually
into the riog. It will be a rich engage
ment whenever it comes oft. In tho

say \
[From th* New York Tribune.]
The letter of our special correspondent
gives an account of the Wilmington ope
rations considerably more readable and
i ltelbgentthan yesterday's dispatch
Admiral Porter. It is clear that the
prolonged naval bomboardment failed to
impair, to any extent, tho strength of
Fort Fisher. General Weitzel's recon
noissanee having disclose 1 that fact, there
remained nothing for the land force to
attempt; it being adi lin the outset
that a land force alone would not be com
j patent to assail the fort.
Admiral Poiter intimates his opinion
that where Wcitzel's skirrvsh line cou'.d
go, the main bod ' might have followed,
and the fort have been taken. But the
situation was not such as he represents
it. No doubt a few skirmishers entered
the work. At the time when they
mounted the parapet, the fire of the navy
was'pouring in with all its intensity, aud
fire the garrison was kept in the
bomb -proof. But Admiral Porter him
self tells us that eight or ten of these
soldiers —almost every one trho entered-—
were wounded by this fire. If, then, an
assaulting rolumn had advanced, it would
If the fire had been suspended, the gar
rison would instantly have swarmed back
into the fort from the bomb-proofs, and,
with grape and canister, have probably
swept that ground over which the colamn
was advancing. Weighing these two
necessities, General Weitzel pronounced
the storming of such a work, in such
circumstances, impossible.
The first assault on Fort Wagner, in
i" ich fell the heroic Shaw, affords an
istration. There also the fir*; of the

aabardment and the garrison driven

The first assault on Fort Wagner, in
which fell the heroic Shaw, affords an
illustration. There also the fire of the
fort had been silenced by a preliminary
bombardment and the garrison driven
under cover. But when the bombard

to suppose Fort Fisher would have done

ter. Fisher is a stronger work than
Wagner, and no troops could be braver
; than the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts.
Admitting that the comparison is true,
| which it is not, did General Gillmore, in
the language of the President, "turn
tail" after the failure of the first assault,
and, scampering to his transports, hurry
off to Port Royal ? By no means. On
the contrary, he held on to the vantage
ground which he had secured, laid siege
to the stronghold, and in time captured
it, with its valuable supplies of cannon
and ammunition, thereby sealing up
Charleston harbor. Had this able engi
neer, or Baldy Smith —both of whom
were sent into retirement at General But
ler's dictum —been in command of the
troops at Fort Fisher, this t.fi'air. would
have had a different termination.
[From the Now York World.]
Whether General Butler and the mili
tary officers of whom he took counsel
areresponsible for the check which this
colossal expedition has received in the
very outset of its career, it is not for
your correspondent to say. Certain it is,
that, in the fleet, he is universally blamed,
in vehement and emphatic terms, for
continual delays when the expedition
was preparing, and for lack of enterprise
when the action was in progress. As an
indication of the intensity of feeling
against General Butler which at present
pervades the fleet, I may mention that
but just now a naval officer, whose name
is familiar in every household in the land,
denounced him as M either a black hearted
traitor or an arrant coward." Another,
equally well known, said: "He forced
himself into the expedition, and I be
lieve he came down with the deliberate
purpose of defeating the enterprise. He
was determined to have his own way,
and seeing that he could not, was bent
en thwarting everything." Naval officers
assert that the fire of the fleet had si
lenced the fort and driven its defenders
to seek any hole for shelter, and that a
bold dash would have effected the capture
of the place almost without resistance.
On the other hand, as Admiral Porter
admits, General Weitzel is an accom
plished engineer, and his opinion is wor
thy of consideration. General Weitzel
is a young and ambitious officer, who
would scarcely throw away a likely
enhance of distinguishing himself. Yet
I set did such tremendous work, and
ngly with # so much of success, so
its* share'of the engagement was
rned, that the public will be apt to

\y rate, it was a foolish and expen-
Dxperiment, which produced no good

After the transports had taken their
sudden departure from the scene of ac
tion, Admiral Porter declared that he
would take Fort Fisher with the navy
alone. He is sanguine that the work
can bo tiken if he only goes to work in
the right manner. Th? -<:blcm is yet
to be ..olved.
[from the N^'-' YotJc H» r * W 'j
The clear and circumstantial/ report of
Admiral Porter of his late operations
against Fort Fisher and its supporUng
rebel batteries leads us to these conclu
sions: That "some one **r3£T

could have been easily captured by the
land forces under General Butler, and
that in wiling to make the experiment
he lost a fln| opportunity for a great auo-
NUMBER S.
from the testimony presented, will be
pronounced the correct one by the army,
navy and people at large, with bat a vary
few dissenting voices. It teams to us
that never was there a fairer opportunity
for an easy conquest; and that, although
ordered to make baste and return with
his troop i to Fortress .Monroe, General
Butler committed the greatest mistake
of his whole military career in deciding:,
Of) Christmas day,- .'gainst an attempt
to curry Fort Fisher at the point of-the
bayonet, as it might have been carried in
a rapid dash of a thousand, or even fivo
hundred, men.
One of our -war correspondents, ac
companying this Wilmington expedition,
says that when General Weitzel, altar
his rcconnoissancc of the fort, went to
consult with General Butler, leaving
General Ames in command of the troops
on shore to await orders, the opinion
was expressed by General Curtis that
he could the- fort General Asms
then told him to take his brigade and try
it; but the night fell before his prepara
tion., for the assault could he perfected,
and with the night came orders for the
re-embarkation of the troops. Besides,
a storm was brewing, so that the army
could no longer delay in getting on board
ship through the surf. And so Admiral
Porter was left "pegging away" at Fort
Fisher. If not recalled, we have no
doubt he will prove within a few days the
soundness of his late opinion by accom
plishing, with a detachment of marines,
the job which was regarded too hazard
ous for three thousand veteran soldiers,
We await the opinion of General Grant
upou this subject. If he, who began his
glorious career in this war by v moving
on the enemy's works," and who believes
in that style of warfare, shall support the*
opposite course adopted by General But
ler and General Weitzel in regard to
Fort Fisher, we shall consider the opin
ion of Admiral Porter fairly neutralized.
Meantime, however, we feel satisfied that,
had Grant been on the ground, the opin
ion of tho General and the Admiral
would have been the same, and that the
result would havo been the capture of
Fort Fisher on Christmas day.
[From the New York Tribune Comwj andeaet.]
General Weitzel is known to have ad
vanced his skirmish line within fifty
yards of the fort, while the fire from the
fleet was so heavy and continuous that
the enemy were kept closely housed in
their bomb proofs.
Surely here was a chance to take the
work by assault, if ever there was one.
Our troops were not only willing, but
eager, and to judge by the straggling
squads of the foe who appeared at inter
vals only to give themselves up, quite
equal to the task. But it was not to be.
It had been decided that the fort was
"left substantially uninjured as a defen
sive work by the navy fire," and it was
settled that the work should be aban
doned. Soon after 5 o'clock the order to'
re-embark was given, and before dark
the boats were busily engaged in carry
ing the order into effect
The re-embarkation of the troops, as
already stated, commenced shortly before
sundown of the 25th,-and was continued
through the night Owing to the heavy
rain and almost Egyptian darkness which
prevailed, the consequent difficulty of
landing the boats on the beach, and the
unmistakable reluctance of the men to
leave the shore, it took much longer to
re-embark them than ilrdid to land A***-
