j Tne oorreepondent then proceeds to give a descrip
tion of the fight prefacing It with the fact that" the same
jsoniidanee of snooess which seemed to have taken
possession of tfie people and even the" -Government
did not find itself fully reflected in the minds of the
Admiral and his officers,'' . . . ,
And, therefere, with no trepidation, no shrinking,
no caiouiation or defeat, but at the aame time without
tbe confidence which unprofessional persons seemed
jto possess, the gallant Dupont and his officers prepar
ed to move forward and test the great question
Whether the Monitors were or were not a match for the
forts and batteries. The attack would have commeno
ld an hour or two earlier . than it did had it not been
that the Admiral was advised to. wait for-the ebbtide
father than sail up with' the flood tide, as the former
would be bore." apt to discover the 1 cality of the
obstructions in the channel; and the tide turned at 11
jo'elook. During these hours of. suspense the eye had
an opportunity of taking the features of the scene
on wbioh the great aet was to be played. The blue
waters daneed in the bright sunshine, and flocks of
jtea birds dipped theirVhite wings in the waves and
uttered their shrill cries" as the v swooned downward
After their prey. : - : . , -. . .. ,r -. '.

extending from tha Wanna trMk. on Ihn Ajihlv rvr
following the eountour of James Island, down to the
L.ignt-nouse Dattery, on the South point of Morris's
Island. " On the ether side -they were more numerous

Orappling irons attache! to the Weehawken have got

to set matters right. At last the difficulty is get overh

they move up the ship channel. They pass in easy
range of Fort Wagner,- on Morris's Island ; but toot a
shot disputes their progress : they pass the battery at

not till the vessels- have got. fairly between the two

The weak side of Fort Sumter is well known to be

which our guns were ordered to be directed ; but tbat
was so the point which the rebel engineers were deter

The Admiral, therefore aignaUaed"th fleet to retire
and sullenly thsy Jbll bae'vfrom a' contest in whicb
they were so tremendously overmatched; not, how
ever, without leaving their marJr behind." The north
east front of Fort Sumter, which was the only one ex
posed to oar fire, was badly. damaged. No less than
eleven hQles, some of them, three feet .wide and two

Monitors guns. Bat that was air we effectsd-t-that
and dissipation of a popular error' that Charleston

was obeyed, and the vessels fell back to th flag-ship,

And yet, after all, t what is our failure to be attrib

the weight and Dumber of their gunl? Only to a
slightdegree. The real bstrnuients of our defeat were
those apparently insignificant and contemptible barri

channel, an i which kept our vesels at jk point on

tire maohlnerv of our vestels and prevented the clav
of their iron arms, were not to be got of by ores.
And therefore the nnfavorable rpsult of tbe enterprise
is not to be accepted as sny test of the relative powers
of iron-clads and land Sttteries.. Without those eb
stru-niont., all thefofts Uat defended Charleston, from
Lighthouse Point; to Castle Pinckney, would hare
been insufficient te stop our Monitors from anchoring
off the Battery at Charleston. . r . .

but one hundred and fifty shots fired in all, so that the
rebels ficed over twenty shots to our one. The Keokuk
only fired three shots before she received bar death
wound.--1.''' ' v - ' .".
; The Captains of the iron elads met in the evening
on board the flag-ship, and understand that there waa
bol one opinion among them as to the question of aban
doning or renewing the conflict, and that was against
renewing it at present Besides the- impediment
which had to be contended with yestotuay, similar ob
structions eould be seen higher up the harbor. .The
space between Fort Ripley and Fort Johnson'-was
barred with a triple 'row of piles like those between
Fort Sumter and Cumm'ng's Point; only in the eontre
there was observed an opening' al which it is said there
is a torpedo set, loaded with the enormous charge of
nve thousand pounds of gunpowder v And yev the
capture et Charleston is br no means abandoned, only
there must be more poweiful mean used.

I Arrived at Kinstoa by llatlrod7n Sunday
morning t Y-o'tlock, mnd reported imuiediately to
Gen. Evans, who erdered me to take pocition with
my Battalion, coneietbg of 19 officers and 460
men, Jn ' the rifle rite en "the east Lank ht th

o'clock tbe first guii was fired by the artillery At
9 J I received an order ihrough one of General
Evans, aide, to march at double quick across jbe
bHdge, Having croased, I ttxvt' Gen. Evans oo
the Wat side, directing men pouring spirits of
turpentine on cottori placed upon th5 bridge, lie
ordered tne to take my command through the
field onlbe Jigbt of th White Hall toad, and en
gage the enemy v . -
: We passed through fie'd: under fire of shell
from lha enemy, (loei ft g one man) id the distance
or quarter oi mue, ;q a rence on tne edge oi a
swanin, on the other side of .which tLo enemy ap
peared to- be in force, .i Here we were engaged for
some time, but tbe principal point of attack ap
peared to bo the Cburcb known as Harrietts cbapK
el, on my left, where waa stationed a" section of
Starr's batlery, supported by the 6tit N. 9. Troope
under Col. KadcUff. ; At. length the flrlni: upon
rdy part of the line ceased almost entirely; 'Being
anxious to bbarge the enemy and drive them back,
I-eftnt Lieut l.iltla In -thin section of artillery
utttffy lefv to ascertain the real position oilhMon
emy and our forces, as it was impossible to charge
through the swamp in my frout. - .
AboiH the time of Lieut. Little's return, with
out any accuratesinformation, I received a written
order from Gen. Evans by a courier,' viz. 'Colo
eel, let me know if tbe enemy are in your fiont ;
if not join me at the bridge." . At thiVUmi, there
beine no indication of the-enemv in frontfl drew.
off in good order nd returned to the bridge, Cit
to my surprise Gen. Evans was absent, leaving no
orders or instructions for me. w
Ooeervine the 8. V. Battery coramandine tbe
bridge, bad. been removed, and the bridge appa
rently dterted, I concluded the General wfts wait
ing for me on the East de, retreated toward
Kiruton, and r proceeded Across tbe bridge. In h
fear moments after cresting, I wa met; by an offi
cer of his staff with order to go tack. This order
I promptly obeyed! marching again at a double
quick tb rough, the aame field to my former, posi
tion under Heavy fire Iron the enemy's artillery,
and was almost immediately ,hotly engaged with
bis Infantry. In about an hour I was reinforced
with 90 or 100 men from the 6 lt regiment N. G.
T.,' commanded by L. Co': Devane, who took, po
sition on my right. I The enemy made a vigorous
charge at this tic "'on my left band and was as
vtgoroady repulsed. . Uld veterans could not nave
met their foe with more coolness and determinaW
tiott XL 'jh these newly tried men; ; He appeared
inforce my left. He took his position promply
and did good service, and I here take pleasure in
teelifying to his coolness and undoubted Draverv.
With hia assifUnca and tbe company of my right
flank, commanded by Lieut. Mcliae, also ordered
to the left, we Aeld tbe enemy in check for some
time.
Mv ammunition now began to fail, and after
sending repeatedly t6 tbe rear could not be replen
ished. Apprehending an attempt to. turn my
rierht also. Cantois McRae (acting as my Lieut.
Col) was directed to observe closely and give me
immediate, notice oi any aavance in ibbi oirw
tion. He reported the enemy in force, who, how-
ever, made no attempt to flank. nrey owing, I sup
pose, to the Impenetrable swamp oetwea us.
At this time, havine held the enemy in checfc
about three hours, and looking in -vain for further
reinforcements: (the section of artillery near tne
church retired,Xaiji04 learned for want of ammu
niti-n,) immediately after ieut. uoi. ievane
ent tne werd tne enemy was nauaiog us on
tbe left, and withdrew his men towarda tne
bridge: . "
Finding myself alone, and the enemy pressing
upon us, 4 ordered a retreat, which- waa made' in
good order, tne men continuing me are wim gwu

Tbe greater portion of my command succeeded in.
crossing, while r other were driven back by the
flame. While endeavoring to keep the men back,
fearing the bridge would fall every; moment, I
waf wounded in the . legs by a, mionie ball, trod
