took penknife from his pocket and worked
away at tho obstinate lock of tho drawer, till
the great drops Of cold Precipitation came

in picking the lock, and with sigh of relief

ATTACK UPON CHARLESTON.
official Account of the Bombardmen
Fort Sumter Badly Damaged.

|, Official dispatches, in reference TO the at
tack upon Charleston, have been received at
Washington, from which we condeuse the fol-
lowing particulars. Cd the 9TH at 1 7 D. m !.
the fleet got under way and passed the Morris
Island batteries without being fred upon, and
Kept right on towards Sumter. Fort Moultrie
opened first upon the Weehawken, which was
within 500 yards. Fort Sumter, aud CUM
mings Point and other batteries now opened.
and the action became general and terrific
The Monitors replied vigorously, but pushed
on toward Sumter until they were stopped by
distractions. Three lines of distractions hol-
ding torpedoes were discovered lone of which
exploded. The Monitors were hit from so to
90 times each, except the keokuk which re-
ceiyed 80 shots, and was penetrated at the wa
ter mark l9 times. The Palapscot's 200 -poun-
der gun was disabled and the Passaic's turret
was bent. The Keokuk sunk the mex. morn
ing on the bar with her colors flying. Two
men were killed and Ii wounded. There are
IL large holes in the side OF Fort Sumter ap-
parently running through the walls and one
gnn was dismounted on Mouirie. The result
OF the affair is-our feet entered the harbor,
Eade successful reconnaissance, fought the
rebel forts three hours, damaged Sumter seii-
ously, lost one vessel, and Char rlesto on is not
taken. The rebels had al least ten guns to-
our one in the engagement.
A severe engagement took place al Frank
lin, Tenn, on the 10th, between Gen. Gran
gers forces and Van Dorn's The rebels were
repulsed with loss of about 800 killed and
wounded, and 80 prisoners. Our loss is about
100 in killed. wounded and prisoners
Gen Foster is at Washington, N c.. and lit
orally surrounded Reinforcements had been
sent forward from Newbern, but were driven
back, with loss of Is men. Fears are enter
tanned that Foster will have to surrender be- |
fore he can be reinforced.
From the vest we learn that the Yazoo riv- !
er exped idon had returned 10 Helena-that |
sevensiiron clads and some transports were |
ready 10 run the blockade at Vsck sburg-and |
that Gen. Osterhaus, had reached the Missis- |
sippi at Carthage, 80 miles below Wick sburg, |
with large force. which indicates active op- |
eratiGns in that quarter.
