The following has been received at the

Flagship, Malvern, off Fort Fisher, the
14th. I have tlie honor to Inform you tbat
operations have been resumed against tbe
fort at the entrance of the Cape Fear riv.
er. Since tbo first attack on tbot place,
and subsequent to tbe withdrawal of tbe
ironps, I have beeo employed In filling tho
ships with ammunition a od coal. The dif
Ocalties we have encounlercd no one can
conceive. All our work bad to be done
with the danger vewels anchored on tho
coast, exposed, yon may almost say, at sea
10 violent gales that blow here almost In-
ccssantlr.
uo iticee gale the rebels de-
pended to break
up pur communications.
I We will roon have pone through the worst
of it . I have b. ..I -n ihrnngli gales heavy
crouph to drive everything rosea, nnd bnvc
sustained no dninspr rrbativrr. Aftrr the
troops arrived the pate bt bodi very lieavy.
As It vras over 'I got nnJerwjy, which was
on the 12th, nnd forming tbe vessels in
their lines, wilh the transport In company,
steamed for Ft. Fisher. On the morning
of the 13th, the fleet look Its elation In
three Hne, cloe to the bench. Honls
were sent In ndvance lo take ofTlho troope,
nnd there were landed with twelve days'
rations, nt about 2 p. m. Tlits time I pur
sued n different plan in nttnckinir the rebel
work. 1 sent In the new Iron elm!, com
manded by Radiford, leading the monitor

9:30 n. m., the fort opened npnn them a
they nppronrhed, but they quietly took up
their old position, within 1,000 yards ol
Fort Fisher. When ready, they opened
their batteries. In this way I led the en
cmy to engage tho monitors, so that we
might sec what gum lliey bad, nnd see
where we would be able to dismount them
by onr fire. Quite a splrltcJ engagement
went on between tlte fort nnd tho Innclnd
monitors. It was nnpsrcnl that the iron
vessels had the best of it. Tlte rmbrauirr
began to diapirar, and the southern nngtc
of the fort began to took very dilapidated.
The gnno were silenced one after another.'
Only one hrnvy gun In tbe southern angle
kept np Its fire. The fire of this gnu was
not accurate, m It luUistcd no damage
nn vessels which It struck several times.
Ily my titling the enrnmy know that we
bad eomesholls left on the wooden vessels,
and did not Intend lo take any undue ad
vantage of htm by ixlng Iron vessels nlonr,
I ordered line No. 1, led by Cspt. Aldrn.
of the Brooklyn, nnd line No. 2, led by
Commodore Thatcher, of the Colorado, to
nltock the batteries. This was done in the
liaudvimtst manner. Not a mistake was
committed, rxerpt firing too rapidly .and
making loo inn eh tmtke. IV heavy 0 Ing
of tlie large veek shut off the enemy'
gun at one. After firing until ufter durk
thc wooden vessel dropped out to their
anchorage. The Iron-olads nnd monitors
maintained their petition thronghont the
night, firing shells occarlonally. Tliey arc
