:" Ii is believed that an attack upon
Charleston will not DO ling POSTPONED =
The rebels have been making preparations
Tor the attack several weeks, and, if they
are to be believed, will not surrender the
city simply because it may be at the mercy
OF our irOn-cads. The inhabitants will be
ordered 10 leave, and il necessary, the city
vii! be consigned to the flames rather than
be surrendered. So far as can learn, both
the army and navy desire that the rebels
should take precisely this course, feeling
that itwould be fit and proper that this
treasonal le city should be DESTROYED. The
preparations for attack are so perfect that
there can be no doubt that one or more iron
GLADE Will succeed in approaching the town
at least within sh9lling distance.
