THE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON. The New York Herald of the 14th contains a letter from its correspondent on board the iron clad fleet, from which the following are extracts : The attack would have commenced an hour or two earlier than it did, had it not been that the admiral was advised 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 obitructiocis is the channel ; and the tide turned at sieves o'clock. Daring these hours of suspense the eye had an opportunity of taking the features of the same oa which the great act was to be played. The blue waters danced in the bright sunshine, and flocks of sea birds dipped their white wings in the waves and uttered their shrill cries as they swooped downward after their prey. Over the parapets of Forts Sumter and Moultrie the rebel defenders were watching ear movements and signalising them ; and even on the roofs and steeples of the distant city we could see hundreds of upeakesss. Distinctly in view ware the numerous batteries, exteading from the Wappoo Creek on the Ashley River, fellawrig the contour of James Joked, down to the Light house battery, on the south point of Morris Island. On the ether ids they were more numerous still—Breach Inlet battery, as the lower end of Sullivan's Island ; Fort Bean tepid. ad os up to Fort Moultrie ; while in the centre of the pilaw, /Wag as it were from the water, stood Fort Sumter, displaying the rebel flag at one angle and the Pal metto Sag oa the opposite angle ; and beyond Fort Ripley end Castle Finding, the city filling up the background. Meanwhile, the attacking vessels lay at anchor in the main ship channel, within a mile of the batteries on Morris Island, without provoking a hostile shot. The Weehawken was in the van, end the other newels in the order in which they are named ie the plan of attack. Precisely at half-past 12 o'clock the fleet commend to move. The distance to the positions at which they were directed to attack was nearly four miles, and for almost all that distance they were within range of toe enemy's batteries. But again there is • delay. Grappling-irons attached to the Weehawken have got foul of her anchor cable, and it takes nearly we hour to set matters right. At last the diffieelty is got over, and one more the meek are under weigh. Slowly they move up the ship °bonsai ; they pass within easy range of Fort Weiss:m][o,Fri bland, but not a shot disputes their pro. MOIL They pea the battery at Cummings Point, named, I believe, Battery Bee, bat Mill not a discharge from a rebel gun ; sad it is not till the noels have got fairly between the two upper points of Morris Island and Sullivan's Island, which are about snails apart, and are rounding to make the outman of the harbour, that the ominous stillness is broken. Fort Sumter opens the ball with her barbed* dins ; Fort Moultrie takes op the loud refrain. The various batteries join in the deafening chorus, and the ironclads find 'themselves within a circle of fire, concentrated from all the rebel guns that can be brought to beer upon the point. Nor is that all that these little floating turret, have to contend with. If it were, they might have held on their way defiantly and run the gauntlet of all the batteries that stood between them awl Charleston. The weak side of Fort Sumter is well known to be its north-west front. That war the point against which our guns were ordered to be directed ; bat that was also the point which the rebel engineers were determined that we should not get at. From the north. east angle of the fort across the channel to Fort Moultrie were suspended, floating from barrels and kept taut by weights, heavy nets, and contrivances of roping so fixed as to be sure to get entangled in the propelling apparatus of vowels, and also connected with torpedoes. Into this net the Weehawken, which led the van, fell, and for a long time her machinery was useless and she drifted with the current. At last, after peat amnia; she extricated herself. The other vessels sheered oil and avoided the same peril. There was no getting into the required position in this way. Any attempt to persevere in that course would have rendered the fleet unmanageable, and exposed it to destruction. Baffled in the attempt to get round or past Fort Sumter in that way, the bull-dog Monitors sought another opening ; but even the shoal ground between the fort awl Cummings Point was barred up with piles. In fact, Fort Sumter was found to be the apex of a triangle, the two sides of which were impenetrable to our vessels, and at the base line of which they were exposed to a concentric fire from Forts Sumter and Moultrie, the Radon, Battery Bee, and Fort Beaureprd. Thus brought to a stand, sad nothing being left but either to batter down Fort Sumter or retire, the ironclad, went resolutely to their work. Stretching them selves in • line between Sumter and Moultrie, and only giving an occasional shot to the latter work, they plied their gnus upon the walls of Sumter. The Keokuk steamed up to within some three hundred yards of the fortress, while the other veseels lay at intense. dint" distances between that and six hundred yards. The Insides—the admiral's flag-ship—had become entirely un manageable, refining to answer her helm ; so that, with the exception of one broadside which she poured into Fort Moultrie, she took no part in the attack, although she was herself the target for many of the enemy's largest guns, and was hit some 60 or 70 times, sustaining, however, no mate rial damage. For half an hour, while our vessels were in the position) I have described, the cannonading was of the most awfully grad and terrible character. No words of miss—no words of any man—can convey a faint ides of it. It was sublimely terrific. No less than 300 goon of the largest calibre concentrated their fire upon the eight email ants, who had but sixteen guns with which to respond. The contest was too unequal to be persevered in. The Keokuk was moos badly damaged. The turret of the Passim wee so in dented as to prevent its revolving. The Patapeco had her 20011 s. Parrot gun disabled ; and, besides, night was coming on. The admiral therefore signalised the fleet to retire, and suddenly they fell back from • contest in whisk they were so tremendously overmatched—not, however, without leaving their mark behind. The north-wt front of Fort Sumter, which was the only one exposed to our fire, was badly damaged. No lees than eleven holes, some of them throe feet wide, and two embranres knocked into one, showed the effect of the Monitors' gems. But that was all we effected, that and the dissipation of a popular error, that Charleston could be captured by nine or ten ironclad& The signal to cease Brio, was given about 5 o'clock. It was obeyed, and the vessels fell back to the flag ship, the parting shot being fired by the Nantucket as she passed Fort Warmer. And thus ended the most remarkable conflict that has ever taken place between war vessels and land fortifica tions—remarkable io this, that the guns of the forte out numbered by ten to one thcee of the vowels, and yet, after all, to what Is oar failure to be attributed? To the impregnability of the land batteries or the weight sad number of their gum? Only to • slight degree. The real instrument, of our defeat were the apparently insignificant and contemptible barricades of ropework and netting saw pendsd across the channel, and which kept our meals at a point on which the rebel guns had previously been cocoon. tinted. Forte might have been passed mid batteries silenced ; but thine twining enemies, which, like the serpents of Lsommes, ogled themselves around the motive machinery of oar rank and prevented the play of their iron arms, were not to be got rid of by force. In their grasp our vessels were inoocuoris. And therefore the un favorerable result of the outwork* le not to be accepted as any test of the relative powers of iron:lads and land batteries. Without those otetruetions ell the forts that defended Charleatoo, from Lighthouse Point to Castle Pinckney, would have hue insuelaient to stop our Monitors from anchoring off the battery at Charleston. It Ins been calculated that some 3,500 rounds were fired by the rebels. In one minute there were 160 counted• Oa our aide there wore but 150 shots fired in all ; so that the rebels fired over 20 shots to our 1. The Troubles fired but one broadside, and that was at Fort Moultrie. That was her only offensive operation throughout the day. The Keokuk only fired three shots before she received her death wound. THE RESULT. The resat of the day's operations may be summed up thus :—Tha injury to the rebel fortifications is not such as will work any great kos to them, as we cannot renew the attack immediately. On oar side we low the Kooks which wok this morning, and which is to he blown up to day, to prevent her tallies into the hands of did rebels. She was struck by 90 shots. Of these 19 were on the water bus, 13 in the after knot, 12 in the forward Wm* and 25 ow the sides. The Passim is disabled by bevies her lanit- - se injured OW it orbit revolve, and dr Itais to be sent to Pert Boyal for repairs ; she was streak 09 times. I The Patapsco was injured by having her 200 Th. Parrott gm disabled ; she wasstruck from 40 to 50 times. The Nahant was struck 80 times, and bad her pilot-house completely shat tered. The Irowides was hit from sixty to seventy times, re ceiving no material damage beyond the knocking off of her port abutters, thus exposing her gun-deck. The Wee hawken was struck 59 times, and her funnel deeply in dented, or that she worked with difficulty. The Montauk was hit 90 times. The Nantucket and Oalakill were seek hit about 50 times, having their decks considerably torn. The correspondent of the New York Times by no means agree; with the above writer as to the rela tive power of the ironclada and the land batte ries. He says : _ Dirk-swing though it be to write tidings which will carry pain and humiliation to the heart of the nation to read, it only remains to tell you that this Beet of irooclods bas measured it• strength against Fort Sumter and the works that flank the eatmoos to Charleston harbour, sad that it has withdrawn from the contest discomfited. Estimated in the terms of time, the trial wa• bra : but it was decisive. An ordeal of two hour, served to prove that the defensive powers of the iron Beet were insufficient to withstand the terrible force of the offensive eaginery of the works it bad to assail, while the limitations in the offensive powers of the ironclads took away all the advarriags which might hare been de rived from flair superior powers of reeistanoeover the forts. The enemy, by his obstructive appliances, was able to detain the fleet—whose total armameet is thirty-two guns— in the focus of fire of • circle of works mounting, at least, three hundred gems ; in half an hour five out of the nine ships were wholly or partially disabled. Such is the ghastly ' feet in its naked proportions. It would be folly for me to mooed from you that the moult of this roconnoiasance produces but one . conviction on the mind of unprejudiced observers-- the conviction of the utter insufficiency of our iron clad fleet to take Charleston alone. Remember that this tremendous effect—the disabling of one-half the en tire fleet—was accomplished in lest than half an hour. Its member spin, that this took plane simply at the entrance of the Inferno of fire through which the fleet must have had to paw to reach Charlatan, and that there was before it • double line of batteries stretching up for four miles before the city is pined at each Point of which the ships must have been exposed to a fire equal in intensity to that it felt under the wall' of Sumter. But, finally, remember that rebel artillery was not the most formidable foe our ships had to withstand ; that, commencing at the point our fleet reached, directly across from Sumter, and extending all the distance up to the city, are successive lines of piles, effectually barring the progress of the vassals, and detaining them at known ranges within the focus et firs ; that there are other Haim of nets and ropes, for the par. pose of fouling the propellers, and that the whole channel is studded with submarine batteries, of proportions never before drouned of in naval warfare. That the entire fleet was not destroyed and left in thehands of the enemy is due to the skill of the gallant sailor commanding the expo. dition and to the tact and pluck of the captains of the re spective ships. That skill, tact, and pluck, rendered what, in the hands of any men lees able, must have been • most crushing and terrible disaster, • simple repulse —my distressing and mortifying, 'tis true, but one which leaves no blot on the fame of those eagaged.and one which, rightly viewed, need abate not • jot of the heart or hope with which the nation holds to the awfully sacred work which God has given it to do. Our fleet got but to the entrance of the harbour. It never got within it. Had the ironclad, ena meled in passing the obstrectioes, they would still have found those miles of batteries to run. They would have entered an Inferno which, like the portals of Dante'. hell, might well bear the flaming legend, " Who enters here leaves hope behind." Not a point at which they would not have found themeless "Mid upper, nether, and surrounding firm." They pan out of the focus of fire of Forte Sum ter, Moultrie, Beanregard, and Bee, and they find themselves arrested under the ranges of Sumter, the Medan, Johnston, and Ripley. They get beyond this, and a ooncentric fire from Ripley, Pinckney, the Wappoo battery and the guns of the city falls upon them ! Merely to run by batteries, as was done at the forte below New Orleans, is not a very difficult thing, even for vessels not ironclad; but to be lumbered as it ware under each fires as these, is what no ships were ever called upon to suffer. SEMI-OFFICIAL WASHINGTON OPINIONS OF THE FIGHT. Upon this subject the New York Berald of the 14th says : Wiabingtos, April 13, 11 p.m. The Navy Department states that the despatches received on Sunday from Admiral Dupont are not of so complete sad definite a character as to make their publication expedient, and consequently they will await the receipt of the full re ports of the commanders of the different vessels engaged. All important details have already been published. LATEST TELEGRAMS. NEW YORK, Ana 15, EVIMIXO. The Fedoras have abandoned for the present the attempt to capture Charleston. Admiral Dupont's iron-clad fleet and General Hunter's forces have withdrawn to Port Royal. It is reported that Admiral Dupont's fleet will proceed to the Mississippi. The Confederates destroyed the Federal armed transport George Washington, whilst on a recon naissance on the Coosaw River, near Port Royal. The Confederates are advancing in force on Suffolk, Virginia. General Corcoran commands at Suffolk. NEW YORK, APEIL 16, EVINIIIO. General Grant bas moved his foroee away from Vicksburg. It is supposed he will reinforce General Rceencranz, or make a movement inland into Mississippi General Foster is reported to have supplies suffi cient at Washington to hold out against the Confe derate attack for three weeks. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York Times asserts that that place is threatened by the Confederates. i Preparation• are making at Mobile to capture Ship Island. Southern advice. report Admiral Farragut to be still blockading the Red River. The Ntw York Tribune states, it is reported that Mr. Seward has forwarded • despatch to Mt. Adams, dated the 13th instant, going so far as to intimate that if the British government per mits 'the Confederates to build and despatch piratical cruisers from England it ought justly to be held responsible. The Prize Commissioners take all testimony in the case of the Peterhoff, and the case will be tried in the District Attorney's office at New York as soon as possible. The Prize Commissioners hold the mail bag of the Peterhoff, and have invited the British consul at New York to be present when it was opened. They also offered him the privilege of opening it, but he declined. The government afterwards tele graphed that the mall bag was not to be opened until further instructions. Lord Lyons demands the return of the mail bag unopened. The riots between the white and black labourers in this city have been renewed without result. The steamer Leopard has been burnt by the blockading squadron off Charleston. The crew escaped. The steamers Thnma and Anna have arrived at . Charleston. Tt is currently reported in Havana that Admiral Wilkes was held as a paroled prisoner there until he could explain wby the Vanderbilt had fired a shot at a Spanish coasting steamer.

" The French have occupied several eminence around the city. "The bombardment is expected to commenc between the 10th and 16th of Maroh." NEW YORK, Aram 16, Evianto. The New York papers publish a statement that a report was brought to Mobile on the llth, by a British war steamer, that the French have captured Mexico. 5,000 French landed at Vera Cruz on the 25t1L. It was rumoured in Vera Cruz that Generals Comonfort and Caravaghi had retired from [Puebla with 5,000 troops, in consequence of President Juarez ordering General Ortega to command the garrison. INDIA AND CHINA. By the arrival of the Calcutta and China mails we have advice, from Calcutta to March 23 ; Madras, March 28 ; Ceylon, March 30 ; and Hong Kong, March 14. INDIA. There is but little general news by the present mail. The Hut:karts says : The most important feet, and almost the only one worthy of note, is that the Four per Cents. are at par, baring thus at length recovered the 30 to 35 per sent dis count to which they fell doing the Mass of trouble and distrust. Although the ries to value of these securities may, in a slight degree, be owing to a vague but unfounded rumour of an intention on the part of the government to pay them off, it is really and truly the indicatioo and result of an abundance of money to the minket. Such a rumour, however, is the best testimony to the ati c lZ ., faith in the gem:deepen of the cash be-' and in the extricatioo of the government front its late financial difficulties. The existence of a considerable surplus is likewise accepted as an un doubted fact, though no one appears is parses Sir Charles Trevelyan's confidence outer it be Sir Charles himself—at least, no one has yet betrayed it. The withdrawal of the odious end little-productive income tax would be the most popular use he could pow* derive from his Teatimes des rictuses, though very few anticipate any such agreeable announcement in the forthcoming budget. Mr. Laieg's able and well written essay on " England's Mission in the East" has been very favourably received by the Calcutta public, and divides the table-talk of the '• polite sad" of the town with Mr. Kiaglake's " War in the Crimea." Never, perhaps, has the true bearing of all the most important questions of the day relating to India and China been pla ce d before the people and parliament of England in such a strong and clear light. There cannot be two opinions as to either the perfect soundness of his pro misee, or of the generous and statesmanlike conclusions founded upon them. The Colombo Observer says that the prospects of the coming coffee crop in Ceylon are exceedingly good : blossoms have come and gone very satis factorily : and with the present high priers, and the low exports likely to be afforded by Brazil and Java, the planters are expecting a continued run of prosperity. The pearl fishery is likely to fall short of ex t peotaions. The sum of Madras contributions to the Lan cashire Belief Fund has now amounted to R 5.74,394-2-2. The viceroy and the commander-in-chief are still pursuing their respective political and military pro gresses in the north-west. It seems (says the Madras At/Amami') that the unfortunate disturbances created by the hill people on the north-western frontier which have demanded mention for so many month s past, are at length in a fair way of approaching their conclusion • the energetic measures lately taken having produced their due effect on the insurgents. CHINA. The China Mail of March 14 says : The rebel victory at Tai-tun, on the 15th ultimo, re corded in oar last issue, bas been succeeded by another victory at Shanct-hing (more properly Shaou.hsing) ninety miles from Ninon, which took place on the 20th of February. This is, unfortunately, the second repulse which the Imperial diaciplioed troops have met with before Shaou-bsing ; in the first attempt to take the city, General Lebrethoo, it will be remembered, was killed by the bursting of a gun, and the troops under hie command became dishes:timed in cousequence. On this occasion General Tardif, his successor, was also killed by the fire of his own men am he was leading the meat. ding a second time, too, the assault was impeded by the want of proper moans for crossing a moat that surrounded the city, the first time being at Tar-tina. Such blunders are beginning to prove expensive. It continues to be noticed that the rebels seem well supplied with European arms of t h e newest pattern, if we may judge by the bullets that have proved so fatal in the Imperial ranks. Captain Dew sod Lieutecant Tiding, from her Idsjesty's ship Encounter, were preset at the wood attack upon ghaou.bsing, In the capacity, it is said, of spectatom. Lieutenant !Soling received a wound in the bead, which has since proved fatal ; he died in Niogpo aday or two after re. aide; it. Captain Dew and be were both undoubtedly absent from duty oe the unhappy occasion and the event will likely put an mid to British of fi cers 4avelling beyond a radios of 30 mike. After the defeat at Tai.taaa, Gemmel Staveley took a fors to Raiding, and saoumd the adjacent country. All was quiet. C•maio Gordon, R.E., has been appointed by Prinos Rum to the command of Ward's form. He was recommended for the post by General Staveley mid Sir F. Enloe.
