The Tribune's correspondent describes a vast fortification at Cape Fear river, covering about four square miles with raised mounds and traverses, embrasures and ditches. It notes its defense system, river obstructions, and torpedoes, making a direct assault costly. The report implies the fort's capture would force Confederate forces to retreat from the Cape Fear position.
