Washington, January 17. The following was received at the navy department from Admiral I'ortcr: Flu Ship Malvern, i Off Fort Fisher, 'J . U . Jaauary H.( Sir I have the honor to inform you that ope rations have been resumed aain?t the forts at the entrance of Cape Fear river. Since the first attack on that place and the eubsequent withdrawal of troops, I have been employed iu filling the ship with ammunition and col. The diflicultits we have encountered no one can con ceire of. All our work had to be done with larger vessel anchored on a coast, you might almost say, at sea, to violent gale that blew almost incessantly. On these gales the enemy depended to break up our " preparations We have gone through the worst of it here, and held on through gale heavy enough to drive u to to tea, and have austained no damage whatever. Alter tie troopd arrived the weather tct iu bad and the gale was very heavy. As toon as it ws. over I got under way oa the l'.h, and forming the vessels in three lines, with the tranparU in company, I steamed for Fort Fisher on the morning of the 13th . The licet took its tt'ilion in three lines clotie to the beach and the boats were nent at onco to take off the troops. The.se were landed with about twelve days provi.-ions at 2 p in. This time I pursued a different plan in attacking the work. 1 sent in the new Iron idc!, Com Kadford leading the monitors. At 7:3 the forts opened on them a tbey aoproached, but they quickly tiok up their old positions within 1,01)0 yards of Fort Fisher, and when ready opened their batteries. In this way I tempted Mil attack on the monitois that we might pee what guns they had and find where they were aud be able to dismount them tuite a t-pirited engagement went on between the tort and monitors, but it was t-o:n apparent that the latter had the best of it. The traverses began to disappear and the eouthern angle of Fort Fisher commcuced to look very dilapidated. Guns were silenced one after another till only one heavy guu in the southern angle kept.up its fire. The liie ot this gun was not at all accurate, at it ii:tlicted no damage on the irouaides, which were hit several time. fly way of letting the enemy see we had frome shell !e!t on board the wooden chips, and did not intend to take any unfair advantage of him by using iron vessels alone, I ordered into line No 1 in plan led by Captain Alden of Urooklyn. and lino No. 'J, led by Commande. Thatcher ot Colorado, to go and attack the batteriea. This w as done in the handsomest manner, not a mistake being committed, except firing too rapidly an i making too much smoke. The heavy fire of the Urge rebels shut the enemy's gun at cm, and after Criug till after dark the wooden vessel dropped out to their anchorage. The ironsides and monitors maintained their position, though, at night firing a tin now and then. They are now lying within 1.U0U yards of the fort, and the monitors within 7U0 vards. The fort does not fire a gun at them, thinking, no doubt, that it would be a waste of powder. Firing from the tleet will commence as soon as we get breakfast, and kept up as long as the ordnance department furnishes us with shells and guns. There is a perfect understanding between (Jen. Terry and rayttlf. I believe everytbng has been done to uuit him. I have heard no com plaints, and know that wo have felt every dis position to help the army along. A detailed report of our operations here will be eent in when we get through. I see no reason to doubt our success The forts will he used up as soon as we have a respectable force landed on the strip of land which our guns completely comtntnd, and a place of defense which will enable us to hold out against a very large army. I will report to you at every opportunity. Your obedient servant, D. D. Poutfr. It A. From Wtaaliiniftoaa.

The train bound to Fairfax yesterday was fired into by a party of guerrillas between Springfield and Accotink Bridge. The conductor was informed by tho captain commanding at Springfield that there were some guerrillas in the vicinity, so he could be on h;s gurd.

From Oaltlutor. BaLTiMCti, January 17. The attack oa Fort Fishir commenced on Friday, when the troops were successfully landed. General Terry commanded the troops who occupied the entire width of the Peninsula. The forts were entirely cut off frota Wilmington. Baltimorx, January 17. The correponJeu of the American, jives the following detailed account of the capture of Fort Fisher: Oo Friday, January 13th, at I o'clock this morning, we were aroused by a gan from the flag ship, and the burning of the preparatory signal of red and green, as indication that it was time to be up and stirring. Preparing breakfast and getting through with the routine of the morning duty, to as to be in readiness at dawn to commence the various works of the day. The throng of vessels restiEg calmly on the aea, with wind scarcely strong enough to cause a ripple on its iurface. Truly the elements promised ta cheer this great enterprise. At two o'clock the second signal was given by the Hag ship to get under way, when the work of weighing anchors commenced. At half-past 5 the signals of the division commander to move forward were given and re

sponded to, causing a brilliant pyrotechnic dis play. Tie gunboat Tacay was sent ahead last eight, to anchor of Flag Point battery, and daylight not having yet dawned, her 1'gkts could be seen as a steering point for the fleet in shore about three miles ahead of us. Three frigates, the Wabash, Minnesota, and Colorado, moved off first, led by Admiral Porter's flag ship. They were followed by the tew Ironsides and the monitor fleet. Signals from the army transports added largely to the scene displayed at the fort. At the dawn of day the whole armada was in motion. At a quarter tJ 7 the admiral signalled for the Pneot battle, whereupsn the Brooklyn, with her line of vessels moved close to the beach. This division was ordered to prepare for action and move in close to the be ach to shell the woods at point decided upon for the landing of i the troops, about three miles Irom tort t-ishcr. The whole division was in position throwine shells into the narrow strip of woods separating the sea shore fiom Cape Fear river, about one mile inlmd, parallel with the beach. In the meantime the iron dads moved into posi tiou directly in front of Fort Fisher, the Iron sides about three quarters of a mile aud the monitors about half a mile off. Before tbej got into position the fort opened on them, but they secured their anchorage, when, at 3:3'), the Ironsides opened on the fort, and was followed bv the monitors with their tremendous shell. Every shot landed in the embrasures, and exploding, threw them a thousand feet high into the air. The fort occasionally responded, but did not send more than a shell every ten rainminutcs. At times they found it impossible to work their guns. At 9 o'clock the boats in the fleet were called away to assist ia landing troop. The woods had in the meantime been thor oushly shelled, but no enemy bad appeered. The transports were enabled to go within half a mile of the shore and were soon surrounded by not less than 2 H) boats supplied from all the ves sell of th.i fleet Several tugs also joined in the work and carried soldiers to within 13 yards of the beach, where they ware transferred to small boats. Tents and camp equipage were also landed with several days provisions for the entire force, 8,009 strong At D o'clock boata from all the transports moved for the shore, and in a few minutes 500 men stepped ashore aud planted the flag on one of the highest hills, amid cheers from the trans ports and fleet. Not a sign of the enemy at this time in any direction. At 10 o'clock about 4,000 having been hvnded, a skirmish line was sent forward on the beach. Admiral Porter signaled Captain Gleaaon, to move with his gunboat division on each tiJe of the frigate, and fhell the beach in advauce of the skirmishers. The Criug on tho fort from the monitors and ironclads was a magnificent sight From 8 a in. up to 2 p. m the monitors poured their murderous shell at the rate of four per minute. The gunning exhibited was never sur passed During this time the fort probably threw 300 shells in return, but the difficulty they had in mounting their guns amid the explosion of our shells and clouds of sand that constantly enveloped their works from our well directed shots, doubtless marred their gunnery, as most of their shells struck beyond or short of their mark. All of our vessels, however, bear honorable scars of the fight. The damage to the fort by outward appearance was most distinct. About 4 o'clock r. u., a dense continual smoke from inside of the fort, indicated that gome ot the rebel huts had been fired. At 4 o'clock Admiral Porter signalled to the vessels to form in line of battle marked out to them on chart, and join in the bombardment. They immediately moved forward and joined in the cannonade. To night the troops have advanced to within about a mile and a half of Fort Fisher. An order has been received from the admiral, it being impossible to brng our division into tho fight, the room being too contracted to proceed to shore to cover the encampments of the troops from any assault by Bragg from Wilmington troops. I learn from officers who assisted in landing that our troops are in hiiih spirits and anxious to be led forward te assault the fort. They wish to wipe out the stain cast on them by the withdrawal of Butler, and prove to the country that they did not belive the fort could not be taken. The announcement was received here to-day that Butler had been removed from the command of the army of the James and report at JiOweil, Mass , winch cauaei great rejoicing throughout the fleet. Some good shooting was made by the rebels, and all the iron clads have numerous indentations on their armor and perforation through their smoke stacks. Saturday Morning, 14 A number of troops advanced during the night to ths abanione i rebel fort, Anderson, and now hold the whole breadth of the Peninsula to Cape Fear river. Up to this hour nothing has been done. This morning the monitors are laying quietly with the Irousides under the guna of Fort Fisher. A guu bursted on the Mahope-i, yesterday, slightly wounding two officers and one man eer iously. These were all tbecasulties on the fleet. Friday, 14th. Before the commencement ot active operations in the morning the following order from Admiral Porter was read upon the quarter deck of the Santiago by the ex-officer of the flag ship: Before going into aetion the commander of evch vci-sei will detail as manv of the men as he can spare from the guns, as a landing party that we may have ashore in the assault when it does take place. Boats will be kept reidy lowered near the water on the off side of the ves? els. The sailors will be armed with rutlassea, well sharpened, and with revolvers. When the signal ia made to man the boats the men will get in, but not show themselves. When the sigoal is made to assault, the boats will pull toward the stern of the monitors, and land abreast of them, and in a seamanlike way the marines will form in the rear and cover the sailor. Whilst the soldiers are going over the parapet in front the sailors will take the sea in front of Fort Fisher. We can hr.d 2.000 men from the fleet and not mis them. i2,0i)'J active men from the fleet will carry the day. 1. V- Portir, Kej Admiral r roiu laietr Tork. Ntw York. January I7tu.

The Very Latest. THREE O'CLOCK A. M. New York, January 17. The Commercial's special says that Grant and Sbermau are both moving with the attack on Fort Fisher. It predicts more uewg of a favorable character during the week. Letters from the armies operating against Richmond contain no news. A Beaufort letter gives an account of the landing of the 17th corps. It brought all its transportation and rations aud is evidently preparing for a movement. The Galveston News says grain is sold at the railroad stations in Texas at $3 per bushel in confederate money and $15 iu tpecie. The Richmond Dispatch abuses England, and agrees with Seward that ihe is the cause of American difficulties. The Richmond Whig says the peace mania, last summer, brought the confederacy to the verge of ruin, and thinks whatever Mr. Blair's business may be, it will cause injurious feelings. The Augusta.Chronical says, Mobile is strong ly fortified, sixty million of dollars have beeu expended to make it impregnable. Georgian papers say repairs on the railroads destroyed by Sherman are progressing very slowly. Charleston, S. C, Jan. 15 i250 refugees arrived last night from Savannah. The Yankees were busy moving the obstructions from the river, and they say they will soon move on Augusta, Branchville and Charleston. No movement has been made as yet, though the refugees think there will be soon. Sherman and his officers threaten to reduce Charleston and South Carolina to desolation. His rule in Savannah for policy continues mild, he has written letters to citizens, saying tho only way to have peace is to res-end members to the United States Congress, and return to the Union, and that it is ridiculousto think of any other kind ofa reconatt uction. Advices from the Trans Mississippi Department say, our army is well supplied with blankets, shoes and clothing, and are preparing for offensive operations. War Dkpartmk.nt, Washington, January 17, 9 P. M. y Major General Dix: The Richmond Whig of this morning contains the following account of the capture of Fort Fisher by the naval and land forces of the United States: The unwelcome news of the fall of Fort Fisher, commanding the entrance to Cape Fear river, was received this morning, and caused a sensation of profound regret. The capture of this fort is equivalent to the closure of the harbor of Wilmington by the enemy's fleet. It is situated about 18 miles below the city, but was the main defence of the entrance to the river, and its fall, therefore, will prevent in the future the arrival and departute of blockade runners. How far this reverse may prove injurious to our cause remains to be aeen, but atpreseut we regard it rather an unfortunate than a disastrous event. The following is the official report: Headquarters North ken Virginia, Jan. IG. Hon. J. A. Seddon: General Bragg reports that the enemy bombarded Fort Fisher furiously all day yesterday. At 4 p. m. their;infantry advanced to the assault, a heavy demonstration at the same hour being made against their rear by our troops. Au half past C p. m , General Whiting reports that their attack had failed and the garrison was being strengthened with fresh troops. At 10 p. m. the fort was captured with most of the garri sou. No further particulars at lhi time known. (Signed.) R. E. Lti. No dispatches have been received from Gen . Terry since that of Sunday night, announciug the result of the assault. C. A. Dana, Assistant Secretary of War. The Richmond Whig of the 17th states that Hon. Pierre Soule had arrived in Mexico on a mission for the confederate states. Sireet rumors in Richmond say Seidon has been removed and Breckinridge made secretary of war. The confederate House of Representatives yesterday declared by resolution in regard to Gov. Foote. It is presumed that he has been set at liber ty. AVIX Sc IIOUD'S REVISED STATUTES! OF INDIANA. Second Edition. THE SECOND EDITION OF GAVIN 4 Hord'a Reii-ed ttalet of Indian U low read? fr deliTery.
