It the Yankees knew to what extent famiue may be

they hal all seen our President and Yica Fresidont,

Winyah," the correspondent cf the jMobile Adver
tier, wiiiing from Cbarlcslcc a few days after the bat
tle, says :
Not more than one tenth of thecumbcr of guns
which the Yankees sy opened upon them were really
Sred at them. The fire of tbe heaviest and largest bat
teries hal been reserved uatil they should venture
c'cs;r in. They never came clnser than within 900
yards 0' Fort Sumter. They did not rnoanter any
ropes, nets, piles, torpedoes, or any other submarine 00
s ructioa ot a- y description. They might, however,
have encountered a phasing cembir.aiioei of all 'those;
obstructions had they dared to come 500 yards nearer
to tbe Fort. In a word, tb(irhole aecount isene
tissue of amszmg lal eboons, from beginning to cn h
Sigstticant Paragraph. Tho New Ycik Express
of the 18 a ult., has a paragraph among it3 Wastring
ton correspondetc?, whferh sate :
"Much anxiety ia felt h?re fjr tbe reply of England to
thedespa'ches pent on by Mr. Seward, aa on their tem
per and lei'ms depend the question of peace orwar with
tbat country. The mere fact of the reca'l of Mr. Ad
amp, our minister, und the sending home of Lord Lyons
would not necessarily produce war, lut in that event it
ii believed the United States Govemropt would b
compelled to declare it." '
tre paragraph evidently refers to some iuibtoglfo
with England, growing out cf tbe arreat ot Commodore
WilSeg, which had not yet be"n made pablic at the
North up to ot latest advices from there.

Oar readers will remember that in General Bragg's
Ofiajia! Report of the battle of Murireesboro', which
we published a few dajs p.go, Mejor Gefterals Cheath
am, McOowd, and Breckinridge were strongly aad ci
rectly censured, as being responsible for the defeat in
tbe bloody eugageinc-it. It cannot be supposed th it
these Generals who have sustained themselves as gal
lant se ldiers in the niic.dsof the people, by their heroic
conduct on the bloody fields of Belmont. Shilob, Baton
Rouge and Perry vilie, will be peimitted to stand so
charged, without the most scrutiniz ng investigation o'
the grounds oa which these charges are made. A cor
respondent in the Knexvih'e leiter of the 2J instant
in speaking of these Gecerals, says : 44 If they are brave
and skillful efJicers their services are iuv!uable to the
country ; but.cn the contrary, it they are unequal to
thet proper diecharge cf the grave duties imposed upoo
them by the cemmistions they bear tbe most impera
tive c. nsicteralious of public interest demand that there
mure competent should be put in their places
' It, on li e oiher haed, Ge.i. Br.-gg has. Iron) any
cause, done iijasties to tb ra in this report, his punish
ment should bi in proporti n to the moans he possessed
ot acquainting Lim?elt with all tte facts, and to the
injury dot.e.
4 . t is not my purp'tse to cuter upon a discu?Mon cl
the issues b3tetu Gecerul Bragg autj! tbe censured
Generals. 1 feel no further interest in the controversy
than must be felt by every citizen ot the Confederacy.
I fiat controversy wi.I be conducted by otners more in

doub- not, impartial and just. It cannot be determin

it is oiilieult to perceive what defense thfy can maite.
Bat magnanimity s riot o:ie r f ihe virtues lor which
Gen. Bragg is no'ed ; ar.d those who know that at
letst two, and probably nil, o! the censured c facers had
inccind his ill ill by giving an iffirmUive answer to
ao ir.quiry prepcurdji to them by him in a circular,
whether the feeiing in the anuy towards him was nuch
as to make it desirable to the service that he should be
transferred to another command, and that otlar causes
