   We have reopened communication with Fort Fisher. The damage and loss yesterday slight; no bombardment to-day. The enemy's force is intrenching where it landed, three miles north of Fort Fisher, under cover of a very large fleet. Our troops having passed the Piedmont road, where all the delay has occurred, are now coming forward rapidly.
