Wot- i k . nr. tn t n a rii V mm j nrtn id ibc riKii " I' - " J heart wer throbbing with anxisty as to the result of the conflict in which then little ironclads were aboat to engage. And here I may as well remark that the same confidence of success which seemed to have taken possession of the people, and even of the government, did not find itself fully reflected in the minds of the Admiral and of his officers. They knew the difficulties they bad to encounter, tbe odda tbey had tocontend with. They knew the powerful batteries which lined tbe shores on either side fo- fonr miles, and forbade all hostile entranee to the harbor. They were aware tbat, in addition to those" destructive en gines of war, tho various channels were so obstructed that even if the Ironclads should prove altogether invulnerable they would still find their passage blocked up by obstructions, which it might !o impossible, and would certainly be difficult, to remove; and thev knew, moreover, that, however well adapted for defensive purposes tho iron elads miffht Drove to be, the difficulty ilipm. and the fewness of tmnm heavv though thoy might be i mmiinil them for offensive, purposes against sach fortifications as those which they sht uld have to encounter. And. thoreforo, wuh no trepidation, no shrinking, no calculation ot deteat, outai the same lime without toe connuence wuicu unprofessional persons seemed to jKsesa, the gallant Dupont and his officers pre pared to rnovo forward and test the great question whether the Monitors were or were not a match fori he forts and batteries. The attack woukl have commenced an hour or two earlier than it did had it not ben that the Admiral was afvised to wait for the ebb tide rather than sail up with the flood tide, as the former would be more apt to discover the locality of the obstruc tions in tbo channel ; and the tidp turned ui plevcn o'clock. Durinc these hours of auti.iAnaa ihp i'rn hxd an ' on Dort u n I t V of OUr'I'X li mJJ vaw m. j - - I I - taking tbo features of tho scene on which t hn rrnt act was to be nlaved.. Tbe blue waters danced in tho bright sunshine, and flocks ot sea birds dipped their white wings in the waves and uttered their shrill cries as they swooped downward after their prey. Over tbo parapets of Forts Sumter and Moultrie the rebel defenders were watching oar roovoments and signalizing them; and even on tho roofs and steeplesa of the distant city wo could soo hundreds of sp ctatore. Distinctly in view were the numerous baitoiics, extending from tbe Wappo creek, on the Ashely river, . i .i . . . rr T. I I ioiiowing tne coni ur oi james ismiiu, down to the Lighthouse battery, or. the south point of Morn Island. On the other sido"they were more numerous still Breach Inlet Battery ; on the lowor end of Sullivan's Island; Fort Beauregard, and on up to Fort Moultrie; while in the cou- tre of tbe picture, rising as it were from mo water, tood Fori Sumter, displaying tbe rebel flag on one angle and tbe Fa I me to flagon the opposite angle; and beyond. Fort Ripley and Castle I'inckney, tho city filling up the background. Meanwhile the attacking vessels lay at anchor in tbe main ship channel, wiibin a mile of the batterries on Morris Island. without provoking a hostile shot. The Weehawken was in the van and the other vessels in tbe order in which they are na med in tbe plan of attack. Precisely at half past 12 o'clock the fleet commenced to move. The distance to the positions at which they wero directed to attack was nearly four mils, and for almost all that distance they wero in rang of tbe enemy's batteries. But aain there is a delav. i Graopfing irons attached to tho Weehawk en have gotioui or uuli,or ..bi.,.nd it takes nearly an honr to set matters right. At last the difficulty is got over, and once Moultrie, tbe Redan, Battery Bee and Fort Beauregard. Thus brought to a stand, and nothing being tell out eitner io Datter down Fort Sumter or retire, the ironclads went resolutely to theirwork Stretching themselves in a line between Sumter and Moultrie, and only giving an occasional shot to the latter work, they plied their guns upon the walls ofSamter. The Keokuk steamed op to within three hundred yards of the fortress, while tbe other vessels lay at intermediate distances i i I I mi between tnatana bix nunarea varus, xne Ironsides the Admiral's flagship had be come entirely unmanageable, refusing to answer her helm ; so that, with the excep tion of one broadside whieh she poured into Fort Moultrie, she took1 no part in tbe at tack, although she was herself the target for many of the enemy's largest guns, and was hit some six or boven times, sustaining, however, no material damage. For half an hour, while our vessels were in the posi tion I bave described, the cannonading was of the most awfully grand and terrible character. No words of mine, no words of any man, can convey a faint idea of it. It was sublimely terrific. No less than three hundred guns of the largest calibre concentrated tbeir fin upon tbe eight as sailants, who had but sixteen guns with which to respond. I bo contest was too unequal to bo pereovered in. TheKeokok was soon badly damaged. Tbe turret or tho Passaio was so indented as to prevent its revolving. The Patapsco had her two hundred ponnd Parrot gun disabled; and, besides, night was coming on. The Ad miral thereforo signalised tbe fleet to ro tire, and suddenly they fell back from a cen test in which they were so tremendously overmatched; not, however, without leaving their mark behind. The northeast front of Fort Sumter, which was the only one ex posed to our fire, was badly damaged. No leas than eleven qoles, soma f them three feet wide, and two embrasures knocked into one. showed the effect of the Monitors ffuns. But that was all we effected that and the dissipation of a popular error that Charleston could be cape-fLed by nine or ten ironclads. The signal'W cease firing was given about five o clock. It was obey ed, and tbe vessels fell back to the flagship, tbo parting shot being fired by tbe iNan. tucket as she passed Fort Wagner. And thus ended the most remarkable conflict that has over taken place between wRr vessels and land fortifications ro markablo in this, that the. guns of the forts nnt niimbered bv ten to one thoso of the vessels. And yet, after all, to what is onr failure to be'attributod ? To the impreg nability of tho land batteries or tho weight and number of their guns! Only to a slight degree. The roal instruments of our defeat wero the apparently insignificant and contemptiblo barricades of ropework and netting euspendod across the channel, aud which kept our vessels at a point on which the rebel guns had previously been concentrated. Forts might havo been passedmnd batteries silenced; but these twining enemies, which like tho Rerpects of Laocoon, coilod themselves around too mo. tive machinery of our vessels and preven ted the play of their iron arms, wero not t bo cot rid of by force. In their grasp our vosseis wore inoccuons. And therefore tbe unfavorable result of the enterprise is not to be accepted as any test of the rela tive powers of ironclads and land batteries. Without those obstructions, all tho forts that defended Charleston, from Lighthouse Point to Castlo Pinckney, would have been sufficient to stop our Monitors from anchor ing off the Battery at Charleston.. it has been calculated tbat some 3,500 rounds were fireu by the rebels. In one minute there were ono hundred and sixty counted. On our side there wero but ono hundred and fifty shots fired in all; so that tho rebels fired over twenty shots to -our ono. The ltor.sidcs fired but ono broad side, and that was at Fort Moultrio. Tbat was her only offensive operation through out the day. The Keokuk only fired throe shots before she receivod her death wound. remainder will follow as soon as may be. The Keokuk .went down this morning aboat eight o'clock, her crew having been first taken off by the tug Dandelion and ilaced on board tbe Ironsides. Tbe fol owing are tho casualties on board the Keokuk : Killed none Wounded Captain Rhind. Alexander Mcintosh, Acting- Ensign, dangerously. C. McLaughlin teaman, dangerously. James Ryan, seaman, severely. Wo. McDonald, seaman, severely. Richard Nicholson, Quartermaster, slightly. David Cbapliu, seaman, slightly. C. B. Moti, landsman, slightly. J. W. Abbott, seaman, slightly. J. O'ConBer, landsman, slightly. Geo. Wilson,-seaman, slightly. J. Brown, seaman, slightly. Henry Swords, seaman, slightly. The were several wounded on board the Nabant by a heavy rifled shot striking the pilot-house and scattering sotno of the bolts. Among them were Captain Downs, the pilot, Isaac Seofisld, and Edward Gobb, of Massachusetts, the Quartermaster The latter died this morning. These were all bit'while in the plot-house. John McAlister, John Jackson and Rowland Martin, seamea Were also wounded ib tb mkna while in the turret. THE LA NT) FOacX. Whether wisely or aot. it seems to have been taken for giantod that a land force would not be of much service in co-operating with tho naval attack. It was understood that the rebels had 55,000 soldiers in Charleston; but all our reliance appears to bave been placed upon the ironclads. Nev ertbeless, a small foroe wrs landed on Folly island tor tne purpose ot moving upon Morris' Island and occupying the batteries there, if tbe ironclads should capture them There Was no occasion for their services and they will be immediately re-embarked. Tbe following dispatch was sent by signals by Admiral Dupont to Gen. Hunter: Flagship New Ironsides, April 7 9 P. M. T General Hunter : . Delayed in getting under weigh by aocident.

Dr. Hoge, of Richmond, dated London, March 2d: Tho main busiosss whiob brought me abroad i consider already accomplished. My success with the Bntlsh and Foreign Bible Society was complete, and far sur- fassed my most, sanguine expectations f the noble grant they made us ever gets to Virginia, our Bible Society there will have in its poisesiion a much larger stock than it ever bad in the palmiest day of its prosperity. 10,000 Bibles, oO.OOO Tes taments, and 250,000 Gespels and Psalms, is a magnificent donation. There are many particulars with regard to the man ner in which 1 obtained it, and many inci dents respecting my interviews with the Board, which I must reserve for oral com munications. Seven cases of this grant have been rhipped from Liverpool, on a vessel called the "Spirit of the Wind." May the Spirit of the Lord waft the pre- cious freight safely to our shores ! Tho remainder of tho British and Foreign Bible Society grant, and tbe donation of the Religious Tract Society, will go to Nassau in about two weeks I mean will leave Livarpool at that time.. My next attempt will be for Sunday school books fend I htn to kinv awn inlervieir wilW CLa Committee of the Sunday School Union next Friday. Much of my time is spent in paying and receiving visits, and in meeting with peo ple who are curious to ascertain the true condition of things in the Confederate States. I hope to do a great deal ot good in the way of correcting tbe erroneous impressions, and in removing the prejudice of those who have formed thsir opinions of-us and of our institutions through infor mation received from Northern sources alone.

It says: "With Charleston in our possession, Wil mington, oavannah and Mobile tho last remaining rebel seaports of any importance become an easy conquest, and with their reocoupatioa by the 'old flag the business of England's blockade running is suppress ed. The effect, too, of the loss of Charles ton will tell heavily against Richmond, and will very much simplify and facilitate tho operations of General Hooker for its reduction. On the other hand, the failure of our land and naval forces, after their careful preparations to reduce Charleston, will be followed by corresponding advan tages to the enemy at home and abroad." THE RESULT. The result of the day's operations may bo more the voasels are under weigh. Slowlv summed ur thus : Tbe iniurv to bo rebel they move up tho ship channel. Tboy pas fortifications is not such as will work any in easy range ot Fort Wagner, on Morns groat loss to them, as we cannot renew the Inland ; but not a sliot dioputCH their prog attack immediately. On our side, we lose ress; tbey pais tho battery at Cumming s the Keokuk, which sunk this morning, and i'oint naaatd, 1 beHevc, Battery Beo which is to be blown Qp to-day to prevent butrstill not a discharge from a rebel gun. her falling into the hands of tbo rebels. " And it is not till the vessels havo irot fmrlv She was struck bv nineLv shots. Of these . j j nineteen were on the water line, fifteen in the after turrett, twelve in the forward between tbe two unner points of Morris f land and Sullivan's Island which are about a mile apartand aro reunding to make the entrant of the harbor, tbat tbe otninious stillness is broken. Fort Sumter opens tbe ball with btr harbettee guns; rort Moultrie takes up tbe loud refrain turet and twentyitive on tbe side. Tho Passaic is disabled by having her turret so injured tbat it cannot revolve, and ihe has to be sent to Port Royal for re pairs, ohe was struck tmy-eio-bt times. The Sufferings or Virginia. Tho .Jackson "Mississippian' commenting on a letter describing the destruction of property in Virginia by tho enemy, says : It is mournful to read of the devastation of tbe old homqsteads of tho glorious Old Dominion. Her people have suffered and endured more than all others in the Con federacy put together, and yet the sublime patience and patriotism continued to be exhibited by them stands without a paral lel in history. When years bave rolled by, and the actors and witnesses of this event ful war have boon long crumbled into tho dust, the tale of Virginia s trials and suffer ings ot her faithfulness in adversity, her indomitable perseverance and gallantry in tbe field will present a page which will foster a loe for independence in the hearts of posterity as long as time lasts, and furnish a bright example to the vota ries of freedom to the remotest ages of civilization. Hon. -having enormous prices for board extorted from members of Coin grebs by hard-hearted landlords, determined to withdraw tbeir natronago from their boarding house and hoarding- themselves.

Tho captains oi the ironclads met in the evening on board tho flagship, and I under stand that there was but ono opinion among them as to the question of abandoning or renewing the conflict, and that was" against renewing it at present. Bes'dee the im pediments which had to be contended, with yesterday, similar obstruction could be seen higher up the harbor. Tbo space between Fort Ripley and Fort Johnson was barred with a triple row of piles like those between Fort Sumter and Cummings' Point, only in the centre there wn observ ed an opening, at which it in said there is a torpedo sot, loaded w;th the enormous charge oftive thousand pounds of gunpow der. And yot the capture ot Charleston is by no means abandoned, only there mast be more powerful means used. The Admiral beard the opinion of his various officers, with which his own evi dently coincided. He did not, however, announce any decision ; bnt to day ho de. dared his intention of withd...wiugfrom the aUack for tbo present. The injured iron lads Have Uen eat U Port Koyal. The "Famine in thk South." Under this i suggestive head, a number of the papers of the North are endeavoring to show to their readort that the "rebellion" will soon be brought to a close by the appearance of starvation in the Confederacy. They are impressed with the idea that the poople and tho army are already suffering from want of food, and believe that if they can before many weeks succeed in obtaining possession of the seaports of the country, and continue to hold the country at pres ent under tbeir t;ontrl, the "rebels" will be compelled to submit or starve. The Yankees bavo pretended from tho beginning tbat if they could not whip us they would have as easy time in starving usout. But it seems we possess a wonderful gift at fasting. Mississippian. The Difficulties in Pennsylvania The Washington Chronicle says: "The published tacts proceeding and following the late arrests in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, of four of the ringleaders of an oath bound society, furnishes tho clear est evidence ot tho designs ot the peace traitors yet made known." Alluding to the mob in Heading, to in quiro into the questiou of tho" arrost of Hu kcr, One of tbe ringleaders, it says: "It appears that the object of the.e i ecret cabals is to rescue from tho officers of the law those who may be arrested in attempt ing to resist tbo draft, or in carrying into effect any of the other known designs of the conspirators. The alacrity with which nearly three hundred men rallied to do what they conceived tb be their sworn d uy , i e , to rescue a traitor, shows that a number of ignorant and thoughtless men have been taught, and are ready to dis charge all their obligations imposed by their leaders." gar, 1 pint.

After a satiety of glories and miseries they finally bethought them that, as their armies and resouices wero exhausted, and their kingdoms. mu tually laid waste, it might be well enough to consult about tho preliminaries of peace; but before this could bo concluded, a di: Dlomatic jxplanation was first needed of 1 t the insulting language which had formed the ground of tho quarrel.
