[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.

Special Fipld Oroeks, 1 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.

If any farmer er peaceable inhabitant is molested bv the eno my, viz: the Confederate army or guerrillas be cause of his friendship to the National Govern, 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 the adherents to the- cause of the.
