| 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. |
