After the fall of Fort Fisher Wll mlngton's defense rested with Fort An derson, on the west bank of Cape Fear river, and a force of Cenfederates, led by General Hoke, posted on the east bank below the city.

On this point a typical anecdote is told of him. It occurred durlnix the re hearsal of his "Drames Sucres' at the Vaudeville theater. The manager call ed on him one morning aud naked per mission to moke a suggestion. "I think, mon cher maltre." he said, "that there la somethtug wanting In your sore. For example, do you not think that the Barabbaa incident might be improved by a little more orchestral effect!" Gounod, without replying, bid his head In his bauds and after two or three minutes of meditation suddenly exclaimed: "No; decidedly no. Such a blackguard as that does not deserve more music." h.nt charge of the redorals broke the line. east bank and cross near the city Finding the route difficult owing to storms and high tide, he transferred two divisions, led by General Cox and General Ames, the lost among the cap tors of Fort Fisher, to the west bank near the village of Smithrllle and be low Fort Anderson. Admiral Porter's warships had from time to time bombarded Fort Anderson at long range and renewed their fire as the land force advanced. General Cox took the lead in the march upon the fort and on the 17th got within two and the commniuler surrendered with 400 meti and 3 cannon, l'urt of the Confederates escaped to Wllmlngtou.

Cox's advance across the swamp with cavalry, but this was finally outflank ed, and the troops passed the swamp to high ground beyond. Throughout the day the fleet kept up a rain of fire upon Fort Anderson, and the Confed erates abandoned the place during the night, leaving ten pieces of heavy ar tillery to the enemy. The garrison of Fort Anderson re treated along the river bank to a stream called Town creek, which flows at right angles with Cape Fear river, a few miles below Wilmington. On the east side of the river the Confed erates under General Hoke also fell back and took up a position opposite the mouth of Town creek. General Terry followed up Hoke in his retreat, and General Ames' division crossed from the west bank of the river to the east to support Terry. General Cox pursued the garrison column to the banks of Town creek. Before evacuating Fort Anderson the Confederates built a strong line of works on the north bank of Town creek and manned tbem with a Whit worth rifled cannon and two field pieces. . The creek was deep and un fordable. The planking was removed from' the bridge over the creek, and guns in "the" works swept the" long causeway over the marsh leading to the bridge. A single Confederate bri gade led by General Uagood held the works at Town creek. General Cox's skirmishers , worked their wsy through the marsh to the edge of the creek and picked up en abandoned flatboat which was used on the 20th to ferry troops across. As the bmlssaM mn. boLflfty. men. ry and were met by a party of Con federates having a couple of cannon in position behind a rude work they had constructed to defend the road. While the riflemen of the Federal van guard attempted to drive the Con fed erate gunners from. their pieces Gen eral Cox opened with artillery from the west bank, and the explosion the shells so close to the city warned the authorities that an enemy was at their gates. .---'. Persistent rumors had been afloat around Wilmington that the Confeder ate General Ilurdee, who had evacuat ed Charleston and moved north with several thousand men, was about to succor the threatened city. General Terry could make no headway In try ing to push Hoke's Confederates on the east bank of the river, and it was supposed that Hoke had been re-en forced. General Cox's story of the day Is that the commanding officer of the expedition, General Schofleld, ordered him (Cox) after he had secured a lodg ment upon Ka-,'le island to draw back and ferry his troops to the east bank of Cape Fear river to re-enforce Terry, Being convinced from what he had seen on the west bank, General Cox says that lie purposely delayed obey ing orders promptly, put one brigade in motion and reported the circumstance fully to his superior. The river bank being lined with swamps, it was mid night of the 21st lefore Cox's couriers reached hlj hcudtiuurterg with fresh directions from Sdtoflelil. The chief approved Cx's action, although he had sent repented orders to him to recross the river and support Terry in an at tack on Hoke. These orders had been the more urgent the afternoon of the 21st because Hoke resumed the ag gressive at that time as a cover to his retreat aud the abandonment of Wil mington to its fate. General Hoke marched away during the night, and Terry's troops followed up, entering the city st the dawn of Washington's birthday. Wilmington having been secured as a base ror Sherman In case of need, General Schofleld turned bis attention to securing a better one at Kewbern, N. C, then In Federal possession, but cut off from Golds boro, where Sher man was expected to halt by a Confed erate post at Kington. Leaving Terry in command of Wilmington, Schofleld detached General Cox to Kewbern to I open the road to Goldsboro. This was effected after a stubborn battle at Kingston, and Schofleld united the col umn under Terry with Sherman's army at Goldsboro, with communications open to both Newbern and Wilming ton.
