"Ihiri wonH eeem,to be eome hitch in the Tankeej arrangements for an attack upon. Charleston and Savan- nib. Either Foster and Huktsk refuse to co-operate, or tbe iron-clada are unmanageable, or eometbing else !s wrong or out of order. The impression now Is that no immediate attack need be looked form Charleston.! This whole affair of Fostb' does look Terr much like an unprofitabla. job. 'His backing and filling, merehincrand ccunter-marcbiEfir in North Carolina evi- dently yielded no fruits at all equal to tbe "money and time expended ; and the transfer of tbe force to another field appears to bare been even more barren of results. Fostxb is said to have crone off in disgust, and Utxtik has returned like a deg to tls vomit and is now busy dr.lling bis negro recruits. . The enemy has suddenly discovered that Charleston i3 a second Sevastopol, and that Savannah is not far behind'ft; and upon tbe whole they do not quite like tie locks of things around these cities and will proba- bly defer tteir attack until their preparations are more complete ard their iron-clad flotilla-more numerous. la the meantime it would not be amiss for us here to keep our eyes open, for failing in the design against Charleston, tbe devil might put it into the heads of tbe IJocolnite leaders to make a sudden dash upon Wil - ciEsten in tbe hope of catching us unprepared or de- nueJ ot troops to repel mem. inai ioey win uia the attempt at once is very doubtfnl, while their success in the event of their making it is still more so. Gsxekal BBAGo'sarmy in Tennessee is reported to bs in excellent health, spirits and discipline. It has made no movement 6iace tbe battle cf Murfreesboro' and now ocupie virtually the same ground that it did tne wets alter mai eveni. . For some cause, beet known to himself, the wiley and usually active Roskcranz, also remains inactive. Ei . ther be wants supplies, or be awaits reinforcements, or tbe roads are out of order, or his transportation is de fective, or bis cavalry is not sufficiently nnmeroua to protect h:s flanks. Any or all of these causes may op erate to prevent his movement. At any rate he don't move, aud probably will not for some time, especially with tne muusurs oi diaanection in nis rear, arising from Kentucky and even from beyond tbe Ohio. Uow maty men of Eosicbaz s army will go out in May and Jane, we are not aware. Some thousands perhaps, and they among the best fighters be has with him; bat that he cannot get more men from the North . west, will require some more proof to convince us than anything we have yet seen or heard from that quarter. Politics tbe struggle for party power, has quite as much to d with the so-called peace-party at the North, as has any feeling of justice to the South, or any love of peace for its own sake. Rosecbasz is a Is orthwestern man and knows about as much in regard to the feelings of that section as any other, and there is hardly a man in or out of tbe army more bitterly rancourous than hi is. In fact, thongh there has been a good deal of talking about peace there has been a great deal of doing in the way of preparations for carrjing on hostilities against us on even a more gigantic scale than ever before. The proposed Peace Convention at Frankfort, Ry., will hardly amount to much .at present. SoundiDg generalities empty invitations to tbe South to " come back !" etc., will effect little or nothing. Bragg's army is said to be fuller in numbers and better in trim than at any former period. A blow struck, at Rose cbanz, a fresh defeat of the enemy at Vicksburg or Port Hudson, a decisive repuLie at Charleston, a sound thrashing iafiicted upon Fighting Joe Hooxrb might and would teed to add considerable force to the current beginning to S2t in favour of peace; but it will take thes3 things to do" it ; and even an ar m;s.ice, if agreed to, would only reveal tbe gigantic dif ficulties in the way of a definitive treaty of peace. The "question of boundaries the possession of seaports, etc., etc., would all Lave to be settled upon some- ground the basis of which would not fce easy to arrive at. Bat all this is primalare. We rmust not calculate too mach upon the movements West of the Ohio. They are only ripples as yet upon the surface, the main tide still Sits steadily against U3, and in lavour of" a vigor oa3 prosecution of the war." True enough, there must ba in all hearts a sincere longing for peace. That ex ists at tbe South as well a3 at tbe North, but that does not make peace, while the objects of the war still re main to be fought over, and people on both sides are determined to fight over them. The 22nd of February has come and gone without tbe threatened attack npon Charleston. The enemy has got pious lately, and his attacks are not often made upon Sunday. Somehow most of his heaviest defeats have been endured on that day. Neither Foster's army from this State, nor the troops already in South Carolina under Hunter, are at all equal to tbe Confederates opposed to 4hem, nor can tbey have tbe same confidence in their leaders. We do not know anything that either Foster or Hunter has ! done to distinguish himself in any way. Tbey have a'ify no prestige of Eoccessand no reputation for ability, This dream is pretty much dreamed out, and it only whereas the case is very different with General Beau- requires the world to be fully awake to the, facts of tbe beoard, who has both ; whose name is a tower of case, as they really exist, to bring about a very early Plrength alike for the assurance it gives that the beat cessation of hostilities.

Enquire of Sir. Greer, at Telegraph Office. - Shad. Well we bave seen shad. We have ate shad, and now we have the pleasure of looking at shad. We, the associate, have bought shad, and we like to eat shad, bat (had is shad now a-days. That is, they mu3t be Bhad, if the price is any indication of their being shad. Five dollars for two ordinary female shad, looks a little ' too much like a disposition to extortion on a person's pockets. That i3 according to our notion. We really wish the finny tribe would take it into their beads to come up the river a' little faster and glut the market and bring down prices to a livirjg rate, thea how we would imack oar lips, about half-past six o'clock some morn ing, after a gcod night's rest.

The body had evidently been in tbe W&tpr for mm oAnairtoraKJo iima I xnucn oecomposed. He had apparently attempted to wimthe river aa his clothes were tied in a bundle and fastened to his shoulders with-a string. Hi? jacket and pants were both striped, and in the pockets were two small pocket-books and some Beyenty five cents in EJUDCy D. 8.

Even when Teasels run the block: ade we feel that perhaps the lea aiid the. better, though in fact, this last precaution on oar part Is nearly useless and wholly ineffective, for i, from coBsideratioas of pub- ic policy we refrain from mentioning he nanfes and class 0f vessels arriving here, we will be sore to find them mentioned in the papers of otb r port);, or, perhaps, fl jur isbinjr in tbe "correspondence" of some of oar .interior papers in this State And In truth, although our avoid f ance of mention'osr tbe name of blockade-runners has been from the first in accordance with what we knew to be the wish of the several military command . -rs at this point, we never could see much dm in It, for with their spies at Nassau, Havana, Cardenas, and Bermu- I da, the Lincolnites know every vessel that is destined I for this port or Charleston, and we do not believe that j a single "steamer has come in here of which they are 1 not fully aware. Speed and opportunity alone Baved tLem. Not ignorance on tbe part of the enemy. Speed and opportunity enabled them to get out. With these remarks we preface our acknowledgments to tbe Lincoln blockaders, for tbe great pains they have taken to devtlope the foreign trade of the port of Wil- mington. Tbey have been tbe means of enabling us to see some of tbe swiftest iron steamers that can be bailt on the Clyde, a class of vessel we could never have seen while we kepi on our trade with New York, Boston land Philadelphia. And these vessels seem to come in and go out with as mucn ceriainiy as inougn uncle A bra nana blockade was not in existeace. It may be an effective blockade, but it seems to be only effective against salt schooners and corn-crackere. The " CJnion Jack" and the "Red Cross of St. George" is now quite familiar to our peo ple. It is a little strange that with Cuba and Martin ique convenient not a single Spams jor French flag Dafl yet b3en displayed in a Confcterate port From tb West. A friend writing us from the camp near Sbelbyville, Tenn., under date of Feb. 18th says : Oui army is in fine health an i spirits stronger than we were before the fij;ht at Murfreesboro,' and getting stronger every day. Erer thing is quiet in front to-day. It may be weeks before we have another fight here. General Johnstsn is with ua. Calelilng a Tartar. Our Lincolnite friends kept browsing around through this State, threatening an advance upon Wilmington by land and water, and even made a feint of a land ad vance, whicb.proved to be only a feint, to tbe great dis appointment of our Generals ; for we suppose it is no rerelationof military secrets to say now that, if Foster and bis army bad attempted an advance as proposed, they would have been tbe worst used up Yankees of whom history affords any record. Ho.wever, as we believe we suggested in our paper, it appeared quite likely that, after all, they said Wil- miRgton but meant Charleston, especially after they found out a few things. Well, they sail-ed out from Beaufort Harbor, North Carolina, and they sail ed into Beaufort Harbor, South Carolina, and it was definitely understood that tbey would swallow Charleston upon sight, immediately, as One might say, or perhaps sooner." They have looked into Charleston we suppose thsy have had a tal loon and somehow they don't like the looks of things. Tbey are like the man that was stung by a bung-s-they are what you might call " demorali zed," and will hardly venture upon Charleston. We are plecscd to knew that General Beauregard ex presses the fullest confidence of success. He believes the city to be impregnable. This assurance we know he gave to a gentleman cf high standing, through whom we got it, and we rely very largely upon Gen. Beaure gaid's skill implicitly upon his saying nothing that te does not believe. The enemy, if ke com2s to attack Charleston, will catch a tartar. He will come after wool and go back shorn. A gcod deal has been said in reference to tbe issue of veracity between M. Mebcier, the French Minister, and Wm. U. Siward, Lincoln's Secretary of State. Ve give the whole matter to-day so that cur readers may judge for themselves. It looks very much like Skwakd gave Meecier the lie, or insiauated that he was a fool. We don't see that we have much interest in the matter one way or the other, since Mircier came simply ia the interest of re-construction. This humbug of re-constructipn has cost untold mil lions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives Bnt lor this dream tbe war would perhaps never have been initiated. It certainly never could have been prosecuted as it has been. Men like Vallandioham, Bichardsox and others good men too have talked, and now talk, re-cohstruction, and some of them bave gone into the war and fought for re-construction ; they woidt keep regarding it as possible, and even a thing desired by the people of the 6eceded State;!. But for that dream of tbe possibility of re-cor.s Unction Northern Democrats would not Have swelled thB ranks of Lincoln's army, nor would foreign nations have withheld their recognition of our independent nation- the world, and all that will remain to be dene will be the settlement of boundaries, mutual comnennatirmn. t . Johx Yak Burek. "Prince John" as he used to hm re-Lolled, made himself verv consDiuohs a few mnntha Binr by his opposition to Lincoln and Ljncolaism-deGed the Provost Marshal and comrted arrest. Johh seemed to have gone on a grand rampage ; so much so, indeed that a report reached here, via Newbern, that Job had been arrested by the Lincolnites and rescued by a mob. Well, now, John has taken up the business of a re-constructionist, and has turned himself into a perfect apostle of the "vigorous prosecution" policy all for re-construction. Nothing can tend to prolong this war so much as any thing that gives even the least countenance to the idea that re-construction is possible, desirable, or could te submitted to by the South. Any divisions among our selves, any looking back to the flesh pots of the Feder al Egypt, must have this tendency and, of ccursa be the means of doing harm and ought therefore, to be avoid ed by all fair and proper means.

When we left Wilmington, on the 17th, it rained and it kept raining all the time we were on the railroad. How ever we trie to pasa the time as pleasantly as we could. The day after our arrival we cameoctto our present camp which ia a mile from Charleston We are again with out tents, buttle wealher comparatively pleasant. As j or are aware, our regiment is under the command of Col. RadclirTe. It is now eome two hundred stronger than it waa bf iu months pat-t. U ivernor Vance's proclamation has brought in a great man stragglers, desert- th or other abfentpes that never would bave otherwise corae in. Gov ernor Varce'a proclamation ta worked remarkably weM. Our brigade, consisting of the 8th, 3 1st, ulst and Cist Begimeuts is under the command of General Clingman, who is iu tine health, acd appears to enjoy th coLfldence of his men iu the fnl'est deree. The general health of camp is good. Of course I em nc ah.c to give any idea of cur forces here, nor would it be proper for me to do so. but 1 d know that tbe ii.ipre&feion prevails that there wi l be enough to give th9 Yankees a warm reception should tLey cocclude to try their hand. - J. The New York World states that Lincoln hs determined upon calling McCiehan to the command of tk ; army. Upon tbe announcement being inide there was a great flurry. Cbae at once threatened to resign, as did aleo the rest of the radical members of ihs Cabinet. For this and other leasons. Lincoln was induced to make no changes for the present. Within two weeks. Lowtver, it is said, there ia scarce l.i doubt that the command of the army will be agaia tendered the " Yourg Napoleon " The World say?: The appointment of Gereral Hooksr to tbe command f be Awny of the Potomac is merely temporary, it was ssace ag&takt the judgment of the President, acd even of the t-ecretary of War.

I be negro, more loyal than Segar or Cowper, promptly sent tne loilowiog response, which our correspondent informs ns was copied from the original : Portsmouth, Dec. 22, 1862. To John Council, John O. Lawrence, Nicholas Butler and others, committee : Gents : Accept ;my grateful acknowledgments for your flattering iuvitatioc to become a candidate to re present the district in the 37 th Congress of the United States. There was a day in the history of onr onoe glorious country, when sucb an invitation would, bave been re ceived with Borne consideration, but now things are very dinerent, and to accept sucb a position when 1 koow, if elected, I cannot represent the voice of the people of this district. In iny humble opinion , gentlemen, any indi vidual who would snfier his name to be used in this con ncc ion, and under existing circumstances, would dis grace himself, and show but little respect for his friends of tbe district who are beyond the lines of tbe u mted States government, fighting for our very existence must decline your invitatioa to become a candidate to be voted for ny ballot for a seat in a Congress which knows no law axcept the higher law, and every dayn "acting unconstitutional measures, thereby disgracing the capital of the country. No, gentlemen, I will leave this position to some one who is more anxious to act tbe traitor, and have bis name written high npon the page of infamy, than one who has ever borne within his bosom the true motto of his mother Stare " Down with the tyrant." I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, Your obedient,Jmmb'e servant, Robert Bctt. English Officers. Since the commencement of this war tbe port of Charleston has frequently been visited by English officers, and in the associations that have taken place between them and onr aliens, we doubt if any strangers ever won more of kindly sympa thies and good will. Engaged in enterprises that have naturally brought out tbe bold points of tbeir charac ter, tbe urbanity that u allied to their gallantry has proved an open sesame to the most agreeable relations. We have learned that British officers are not all types of the hauteur and coldness that is said to characterise the British people : and that as we see thsm in the cabins of their vessels, so we see them as they are at home, sociable, unrestrained, rt fined, dignified, brave, and the son! of honor. Willingly do we extend tha right hand of fellowship to all such, and express grati fication that among the numerous blessings of the war, an acquaintance with the British tail is not among the least. cnawtton vmm: REPORT OF CXISOMABI, ;C Hbadq'ss CtiHGjiAs'a Bbigabk, : v. ..:-r. ; "-FiiBKce'aDxvinow, IOX, t L, 18C2 : ) a ... r" . . . . 1 - - .

Ihe other piece moved along the road on the right ot our line, and was itself protecttd on its right flank by skirmishers who covered the ground lor several hundred yards. Belore we reached tne railro d, however, the enemy abandoned it, and we occupied n witnout a struggle, The two regiments statu ued near the river line wise udvanced to it without loss, and, as I subsequently earned, Gen. .hvans brigade soon n.led up the centre After retreating from this position the enemy occupied a higher held m our tront with a large number of can non, and heavy bodies of infantry drawn up io two ines with an interval of one or two hundred yards be tween them. As soon as Lieut. Fuller opened on them with Li gun, their artillery which had previously directed its fire againat our left, where the regiments of Masball and Allen were stationed, was shifted, and its concentrated volleys were poured upon our right. Their position approached within four hundred yard3 there, while from our left it was more than a half mile diatant. With tne large numoer oi pieces tney nad in play, it is a wonder that they did not succeed in disabling a single gun Notwithstanding the disparity of force ard the lots of several of his men, Lieut. Fuller with the greatest gallantry, continued to reply until darkness put an end to tne contest. During the evening the regiments of Cols. Marshall and Allen, by Gen. Evans' order, as I have since learn ed, made a charge against the enemy's position on the hill. I hey advanced most eouragecua'y, Dut were re pulsed by heavy showers of grape and musketry. As they had to move across an open space of a thousand yards, swept by heavy batteries, supported by large masses of infantry, it was barely possible that tbey cuuiu carry buou a pu&iuuu. lueir prompt ana aarinjT attempt iurnisnea tne nignest evidence oi tbeir courage and readiness to obey orders. Immediately after dark, the enemy retreated with his entire army, and soon after we re-crossed the river, the troops under my command following Gen. Evans' brig ade, and bringing up the rear. Ihe entire force at my disposition that day wa9 rath er below two thousand men. .The loss was in Marshall's regiment (11) eleven killed, (58) filty-eight wounded, (10) ten miasicg. In Allen's (6) six killed, (43) fortv- three wounded, (8) eight missing. In Shaw's there were (3) three killed, (6) six wounded, and in Devane's none. I cannot give tha casaalities of Fuller's section pre cisely. . I learn that ihe los3 in the two first named regiments occurred mainly it the charge above referred to. But or this we should nave the satisfaction of knowinsr that we bad with vastly inferior force, driven the enemy from a strong position, and obliged his whole armv to retreat I almost without loss omour part. - . . v , In conclusion, 1 take pleasure In saving that the offi- cers and men iii all the regimects behaved in a manner creditable to veteran troops.
