LATE REBEL PAPERS,
r.Pririftthe Richmond Examiner, .Jan. 20.]
Peytons from Wilmington gay that
the version of the disaster at Foil Fisher
\yJiictL sfates that the fort was %iken by
surprise, at least as far as the garrison is
eorreenred, is untrue.
They state that the garrison fought
well, hut were cverwhelmned by num
bers, Hragg having failed to relieve the
force of assault by an attack on the en
en*y*s rear There have been some re
cent dispositions of our forces in the
South and West, details of which are
iiraa tfiifeable..
[From tfce Goldsboro’ Journal, Jan. IT.]
Private a IviCes by the train last night
state that the Yankees were shelling our
forces, near Battery Gatlin, or Sugar
Loaf, some four miles from Port Fisher.
The Journal furnishes all the particulars
which have as yet reached us concerning
the fall of Fort Fisher, with the excep
tion of Gen. Lee’s brief despatch.
It says that the Yankees succeeded in
making a lodgment with their infantry
force, said to have been some eighteen
thousand strong, on the river between
Sugar Loai and Fort Fisher, whore they
at once commenced intrenching. This
lodgment was made probably on Friday
night. Up to ten o’clock on Sunday
night matters were reported satisfactory
by opr.military authorities; but within
piobably halt an hour afterwards the
enemy made a furious assault on Fort
pisher and took it.

No. 13. /
The Dcpnnment. of the South having bee®
placed within the sphere of this command, and
it being highly desirable that an uniform polity
prevail touching commerce and intercourse with
the inhabitantr of the South, the following gen
eral rules and principles will be adhered to un
less modified by law or the order* of the War
Department :
L Commerce with foreign nations cannot be
permitted or undertaken until the national au
thority is established to an extent that will give
the necessary courts and officers to control and
manage such matters. Trade will be confined to
a mere barter and sale proportioned to the no
nessary wants of the army, mid of the inhabi
tants dejiendant on it for the necessities of life,
and even that trade mast be kept eubject to strict
military control or surveillance.
11. Trade stores will be perrni ited at Beaufort,
Hilton Head, Savannah, Fernandina, St. Augus
tine and Jacksonville, in all the articles of food
and clothing, groceries, ladies aud childen goods,
generally, and articles not contraband of war.
111. To trade is a privilege, and no person
will be allowed to buy and seu for profit unless
he be a citizen of the United States, and sub
scribe to any legal oath or obligation that is or
may be prescribed by law; and at points threat
ened by an enemy, the officer commanding may
farther exact as a condition, that the trader shall
himself engage to serve, in some military ca
pacity, to aid in the defence of the place.
IV. Persons desiring to trade will apply to
the commanding officer of the Post and obtain
his written consent, Specifying the kind, nature
and extent of the trade, and when he requires
importations from northern cities he will in like
manner apply for his permit. The commanding
officer of the Post may appoint seme good officer
to supervise these mutters, who will frequently
inspect the stores, and when there is not suffi
cient competition will fix the prices of sale.—
These stores will in like manner be subject to
the supervision' of the Commanding General of
the Department of the South by himself or an
inspector General.
V. In order that purchases may be* made with
economy, the commanding officer of each Pest
will make- reports of his action in regard to
trade, with the names of traders, amounts of
goods desired for sale, Ac., to the commanding
general of the department, who will, in like
manner, make full reports to the Secretary of
the United States Treasury, to the end that be
may instruct the collectors of ports from whPh
shipments are expected as to the necessary per*
mks and clearances. It being utterly impracti
cable lira a general commanding military oper
ations should give his personal attention to such
matters, it is desirable that r.s much power as
possibie should be delegated to Post command*
ere, and they shonid be held to the strictest ac
count that no trade is permitted injurious to the
military intercuts of the United States.
YI. Sales of cotton w ill be restricted absolutely
to the United States Treasury agents, and no
title in cotton or bill of sale will be respected
until after the cotton is sold at New YLrk
Country people having smalt lots cf cotton are
permitted to bring the same in to be exchanged
tor food and clothing for their families. The
Quartermaster will set aside a store or ware
house, to which each wagon bearing cotton will,
after entering the military lines proceed direct,
where an agent of t he Treasury Depart went w ill
receive and weigh the same, and pay for it the
price fixed in the Bth section of the Act of Con
gress, approved July 2, I«C4, viz: three-fourths
the value of cotton Rf? quoted in the New Y’erk
market; and the Secretary of the Treasury is
hereby requested to make appointments’qf
agents to carry out tfce provisions of said act at
the posts oi Hilton Head, Savannah, Feraaudi
na and Jacksonville.
YII. in order that the duties hereby impiscd
on commtjndiwg officers of Post* may not be
neglected or slighted by the changes incident to
rank and changes of troops, the Commanding
General of the Department of tfce South vvUJ aji
point a special officer to command at each of
said Posts, with a .small garrhion, not to be
changed without Lis order; aud when other
troops, commanded by a senior, are added or ar
rive,* the command of the post will act change,
but the additional troops will be encamped near
by and act according to special kistructions.

and the restoration of State and National a u
thonty, and will be protected by the National

tants who satisfy the. commanding officers that,
they are earnestly laboring to that end, must not
only be left undisturbed m property and person
but must be protected as far as possible, consist'
ent with the military operations. If any farmer

ment, the perpetrator, if caught, will be gumma
ly punished, or his family made to suffer for
outrage; but if the crime cannot be traced to the
actual party, then retaliation will be made on
