THE VICTORY ON SATURDAY, INTERESTING PARTICULARS. —_———. i GALLANT FIGHTING BY OUR TROOPS | para Sees ASSOOIATED PRESS REPORT. i Rete ES (Correspondence Associated Press. } Orty Point, March 25, 9 a.m.—News has just been received here of an attack on onr line this morning at daylight, by the enemy at Fort Steadman, near the Appomattox, cap- turing the fort and taking prisoners nearly all | its garrison. They sent the prisoners over the woras towsrd*their line, but on their way taey broke from the guard, and nearly all es- caped back to our line on each side of the work. corps this morning, orders were given for the sixth corps to make an attack on the left of the line, in front of Fort Fisher. The third divi- sion, Gen. Seymour commanding, wasselected | as the column, and shootly after noon, the line | of battle was formed, and the order to advance | given. In a short time our men haa ot the entire line of the rifle pits of the enemy, nearly ajl the occupants being made prisoners. | Our loss in the affair was very trifling. Over | six hundred prisoners were brought in as the result of the engagement. Still another fight took place at Hatcher's Run, in which the 2d corps were aged. The prisoners fell into our hands on this ground, making in all to-day about 2,975, among whom &re nearly 100 commissioned officers, the high- est in rank being colonel. This does not include the rebel wounded in hospital, the number of whom ts considerable. ‘These men seemed, &s they passed along, per- | fectly satisfied with their position, no doubt anticipating a larger supply of rations than they have been receiving for some time past. It was reported that Gen. Gordon was seen urging his men to fight, and at times swearing at them for their cowardice, ending with the exclamation: “By G—! just as 1 thought—the | men won't fight!” After which he left, and Was not again seen. Lieut. Nye, of the 14th Massachusetts bat- tery, was killed while fighting his guus. He was ordered to surrender, but refused, and six bulleis were found to have entered his body. He was a gallant officer, and much esteemed by his men. Jolonel Pentecost, of the 10th Pennsylvania. was also killed while gallantly leading his inen in the action. This regiment is composed mostiy of new men, and are credited with having behaved like veterans. LATER. FortTrEss MonkOE, March 26, 5 p. m.—The steamer Webster, which bas jnst arrived from Oi:ty Point, brings important intelligence from the tront down tothis morning. A general en- gsgement all along vur lines was in progress When she left. The fighting of yesterday was confined most- ly to the extreme left, and was very severe. One hundred and five rebel officers were cap- tured yesterday afternoon. They come down on the Webster. General Sheridan, with his catire cavairy force, has reached Grant's army. PROMPT BROMOTION. General Hartranfi, on General Grant's rec- ommendation, has been promoted Maj. General by Brevet, ‘for conspicuous gallantry in re- pulsing and driving back the enemy from tha lodgement made on our lines March 25, 1765." Forp's THBATER.—The Lialian Opera season about to be inaugurated at this popular theater, promises to be the most brilliant ever known in Washiagton, The well-kuown popularity of the troupe, the experience of the impressarzo, the indomitable Max Maretzek, and the enter- prise and liberality of Manager Ford, will en- sure the most perfect productions of the great composers, Verdi, Auber, Donizetti, &c. The first of the series of aix operas will be given to- night, Verd1’s last grand opera, La Forza Del Destino, (the Force of Destiny) being selected for the debut of the tronpe. The celebrated Carl Bergman, will wield the baton, and the chorus and orchestra will be falland effective. The President and Mrs. Lincoln have secured boxes for several of the operas, and the British and Italian Ministers fer the entire series. The wealth, beauty and fashion of the Capital will, we doubt not, be strongly represented at Ferd’s Theater during the opera season. THE MARYLAND LEGISLATURE —The Mary- land Legislature adjourned sine die on Friday night, at li o’clock. In the Senate the joint resolution tendering the United States Goy- ernment $50,000 for the restoration of tae Na- val Academy at Annapolis was passed. The bila for the reassessment of property in the State was not acted upon. In the House a resciut$on declaring the jo- dicial acts of ,Judge Grasop, of Baltimore county, invalid, was rejected. The report of the cemmittee of conference on the bill re- Eeaiies the Black Laws was copcurred in by th houses. The bill to compensate Govern- or Bradford tor the burning of his house by the rebels did not pass. The whole number of bille which paszed both houses was about 200, and 135, which had been read a second The line each side of the fort was taken and beld fora short time by the revels. but rein- forcements arriving, they were driven back, losing heavily in Killed and wounded as they ran between the lines. Our loss 1s not known At this hour, but it is believed to be small. The line is reported to be re-astebiished, as tormerly. {SECOND BESPATCH.] Crry Pornt, March 25,3 p. m.—The reault of the engagement this morming was more im- portant than at first reported. At the point where the enemy eharged the main lines are only one hundred and fifty yards apart, the ground between being almost level, and free from obstructions, excepting the abbattis in fromt of the works on each side. At this place firing between the pickets Ras been almost comtingons, and scarcely a day passes withont two or three men being wounded on our side, at least. TBis part of the line has been occupied b: the 34 igede ef the Ist division of the 9! corps, General McLaughlin commanding. He bas often expressed his ability to break through the enemy's line here, and only yesterday he sbowed how it could be done, to some visitors. t who were inspecting the works. At daylight this morning four divisions of the enemy were massed in rear of the line un- i} der command of Gen. Terrv, who was ap- | pointed to lead the charge. These troops con- | sisted of Busbrod Johnson's, Walker's, Evans’ and Grimes’ divisions, (Gordon's corps). At 5 @. m. the charge was made, and the time oc- | oupied im crossing the space between the lings, | outupg down the abattis, and getting to the rear of the fort, was the work of only a tew | minutes. i There they formed in line of battle, brigade { front, and while one advanced on the fort, the other swept the right, toward the Appomattox, | expecting to flank and capture the whole line | w the river. The latter party were met by the | i7th Michigan, and driven back, after some bard fighting. The force that attacked the fort were re- Pulsed by the nm several times, but their numbers being s0 superior toours finally over- powered and took pees nearly all who were in it. They at once sent the captared over the works to their lines, and many suc- ceeded im getung away and returning, the guard baving charge of them being vi small. Gen. Wilcox moved up part of command from the right to the scene of action, and soon drove the enemy from the line on the right of ~ General Hartrantt’s division, lying ‘ve, and parton the line to the ekly on the ground with reinforce. mined to bold at -_ hazards. Three separate charges were ma“e pe: men succeeded in getting inside, ana peared the figbtiog here was over, the rebels laying down their arms and surrendering.

MoLaughiin, commanding the brigade time, fail to for want of time. Among the latter were bills to repeal the law requir- ing one United States Senator be taken from the Exustern Shore; authorizing the Mayor and City Council ot Beltimore to build a new (ity Hall; for keeping open the harbor of Bal- timore; and to exempt #50 of property trom execution. @7 Allthe cotton captured in Savannah is now on shipboard, and it amounts to thirty- eight thousand seventy-six bales—several thousands more than the highest estimates when Savannah fell inte the hands of General Sherman. Nearly ail the vessels have arrived at New York and their cargoes have been dis- charged at the Gevernment storehouses on Staten Ieland; and the last vessels of the fleet were to start from Savannah on Saturday. > The Canadith Federation scheme, which Was projected under such hopeful auspices wine months ago, has prematurely collapsed.

I regret to add that neral McLaughlin was captured in Fort man. Our loss was otherwise not heavy.
