Adiniral Porten's graphic account of the attack on Fort Fisher, published in yesterday's Su, af- fords a clear explanation of the causes of the re- pulse of the finest expedition that has ever been or- ganized upon our continent. There bas been no tack of ekill and bravery on the part of the subor- dinate officers and men, but there waa an evident disagreement among the commanders.

This secret Union League will, of course, soon go the way of all mm- War soctetion but it will also sink @ groat deal lower than all the others, for ite infamous attempt to produce vacancies for fat offices for its adherents, by secretly blasting the character and reputation of the present {ncumbents by bogus charges of “dis- enemys works, The uews is still too meagre to | loyalty If any official is disloyal, the Courts are enable us to apportion the exact degree of ceu- | open, the lawa are free, and they can be rendered sure that attaches to each, but it would ap- | srueuable to justice, Failing these, the press and pear that Admirel Powr and General Borir aa chiefs of the naval and military forces, must divide the responsiLility, In the first place, Admi- ral Porree was iu too great a hurry to commence the action before the arrival of the land forces under Genera! Burier, and the powder ship, from whieh so much was expected, was exploded at the wrong time, The intention was to expiode it when the land forces would be at hand for assault- low purposes, and then take @lvantaye of the con- sternauou of the garrison and the breach in the cetences which were expected to occur, In place of this, the powder ship Loulsiana was run in ou Thursday night and exploded about two o'clock on Friday morulny, Lefore the transports carrying the troops bad even appeared Insight, Still more, the fleot was ten wiles distant from the place where the explosion took place under the fort, and if every gun had been dismounted, and every gunner killed, the enemy woull have bad time to bring up fresh artillery sud troops to oppose any attack, in the interval of two or three hours that would necessarily elapse before the ships could stearn up and land the sturming party. Thus the rebels were enabled to recover from any damage that might have been inflicted, It so hap- pens, however, that tuis project so far failed to jue jure the rebel works Ghat i¢ was reported in the Richmond papers as a mere commonplace disaster to one of our gunboats, The premature exp! ost ently of importance ag tHuatrating the want of combination displ public opinion will be sufficient!y poteut to squelch them, without resorting to any secret, underband, treacherous or illegal courses, Kidnapping Recruits, Tor outrages that bave Leen from time to time perpetrated upon ignorant men by bounty brokers sod recruiting agents, whose procecdi ngs are coun- tenauced by individuals in the service of the United States, deserve the condemnation of the entire community, and should be made the subject of legal investivation, An instance has recently come to our knowledge which brings the subject home to every ‘individual likely to be placed in Mar cir- cumstances, A young warried man, who resided with his wife and two little children, in one of the buildings recently burned down in the Bowery, lost at the tire almost everything he possessed, which protuced upon bit a depression of spirits that some other men would not have experienced, For sev- eral days this man continued to work at his trade, until one evening some friends induced him to cheer up a litte by a» friendly visit to @ family in another part of the city, Ou the way thither it was proposed by some ove in the party that they should stop ect a public bouse for « glass of whiskey, or other vi!lanous compound, sold in the rum mills for liquor, The young man, whose previous character and industrious habits, had procured for him a@ reputation that recom- tended lira to the confidence and esteem of his employers; no doubt yielded to the temptation ret before him. Ife liquor was drugged, and four days later, intelligence came to his wife, that Le bad been enlisted in Fair Haven, Connecticut, as a private in the army, His assertion that he was unconscious of the wrong perpetrated upon him, although warranted by his previous character, is nofortunately looked upon by those whose mflu- ence might be of service to nm in this dilemma, as inconsistent with the fact of his enlistment, more 8 thorefore yod in the opera.

There is another view of the case, however, and one that is far more satisfactory to such locali- ties as this city, which has filled all preceding quo- tas. it is that the last cal! is only supplemental to thecali for five bundred thousand that was is- gued Isat surnmer, on which there was av agere- gate defic't of about three hundred thousand, and that it will fall only on deficient districts, While there is no certainty of the correctness of this eup- position, a close reading of the late proclamation would seem to give it some erodovee. The President says in substance that the Inst call for three bundred thousand men be- came necessary for the reason that the five hundred thousand requisition produced only two hundred and forty thousand soldiers, Weaving « deficiency of two hundred and sixty thousend, This language, taken in connection with the manifest injustice of placing on an equali- ty deficient districts and those whic! have filled the old quotas, makes the supplemental theory ap- pear reasonable. But there is stronger and more direct evidence in confirmation of this belief. Pro- vost Marshal Genora) Fer bas informed Provost Marshal! Canker, of Masmchusetts, that the quota of that State, ‘under the last call ot the President for three hundred thousaud men, to make up de- fictencies in former calla, is only eight hundred and five men." This language from the head of the conscription department would seem to be con- clusive on the subject, yet, as we before remarked, it is uot good policy to place implicit confidence in it Ti Massachusetts, with « deficiency tually exeupt, this city, with all quotas full, and o handsome surplus besides, certainly need not be Will not the proper authorities give us alarmed, the solution of this question, that each district may kuow exactly bow ita recruiting secount stauds with the Goverument? | Advertising.
