MONDAY APRIL 13, 1868.

The news from Charleston Is important,
and full details are given Of the affair of
Tuesday tho 7th, which was simply pre-
1ip,innry to the grand attack, which doubt
less has taken place ere this The Keokuk

lion Of Dixon certain, by the home vote,
which the soldiers will build into tower

We trust the rumor that comes from
Boston, that Gen. Foster has been rein
forced, may prove true. Hc has certainly
been in very critical position, and if not
reinforced, is pretty sure to be gobblcd up
by the enemy.

last week resulted very decislvcly in favor
Of the Union cause. We have not heard
of town that does not show gain for

Copperhead majority Of last fall is entirely
wiped out, with handsome prcpondc,

The reasonable policy Of the Copperheads
has been thoroughly rebuked. 1t is well.
In the election just held for ten Circuit
Judges, the Republicans have probably
elected in the 1st, I'd, Cd, 4th, 5th, 9Th, 7th
and 9Th Districts, and the Copperheads in
the 9th and 10Th Districts. Nh. Campbell,
Republican, is elected Justice Of the Su-

larger than that given to Gov. Blair last

AnwAuREE, april II, 1863.
Tie latest md fullest returns from the late
judicial election In Wisconsin, places the
election of Dixon (Rep.), beyond doubt. The
heavy Democratic majority Of Milwaukee city
and county, which raised the hopes Of tho
Coppcshead element, is being rapidly dimin-
i=hed by large Republican gains in the interior
counties, which bids fair to elect Dixon by the
home vote.
Official returns and reports, considered re-
Liable, Of The army vote, from about 100
companies, casting some $500 votes, show
nearly 600 majority for Dixon.
Hon. E. G. Ryan, lawyer Of this city, has

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, April 9.-It is
now known, on the very best authority, that

He says that neither in France nor England

enough to take decided, step in the face Of
public opinion.
It is understood that he has consequently
advised his Government to make the best
terms it can for q return to the Union. With
out foreign aid, the struggle is only pro-
longation of misery aud ruin.
slidell does not say so, but it Is well known
from other sources, that the strong feeling IN
favor Of the North created By the Eu1ancipa-
ton decree, hns compelled the Ministers to
refrain from Ill acts Of hostility toward the

The Rebels Demand Gen.
Fosters Surrender.

New York, April 11.-Thc following Is
additional relative to the position Of General
Foster:
It is stated that the rebel force on the other
side Of the Dlackwater was under marching
orders on the 5th inst, with two days cooked
rations, and four days rations, besides, un-
prepared. A force Of Union cavalry and ar
tillery, under Gen. Dodge, is out for the pur-
pose of capturing detached rebel force in
that vicinity. When last heard from-which
was at noon, Thursday-thcy had met the en-
en'y, had skirmishcd with them, md had taken
some prisoners.
The reports from North Carolina, ria Eden
ton, stated thnt Washington, N. c., had been
burned, but by whom was not statad. In the
direction Of franklin, the rebels had greatly
strengthened their pickets and outposts, and
had advanced their cavalry yidettes. This
news was brought to Suffolk By rrcon-
noiteling force that had been sent from that
post.
The Richmond DispateA Of the 9th says:
We have news from Washington, N. c., as
late as Sunday. Our troops have captured
the cnern,'s batteries at Hills, situated on the
bank Of Tar River, seven miles below tho
town, which position gives US an open field,
fair fight, with the Yankee shipping. Two
gunbeats, followed by several large transports
loaded with troops, from Newborn, to REIN
force Washington, attempted to run our
blockade Mt Hills Point, Fliday, when they
were fired on by our batteries and 60 badly
damaged rs tube compelled to put back. They
couldn't pass our guns, and ut last accounts
the enemy we're landing troops below our
works ut Shells Point. In the attempt to 70
by, the steamer Leuisiana was sunk .by our
guns.
There are about 2, 900 negroes in Wishing
ton, whom the enemy tried to ret out, but
failed. The enemy have refused to surrender,
OF allow the women and children to leave that
phce. So Gen. Hill, it is presumed, will shell
the town.
New York, April 11,-The Boston Journal
says q letter received there, dated Ncwbern,
april 9Th, states that news had Just been re-
cciycd that Gen. Foster had been reinforced,
and had driven back the rebels.
FORTRESS MONROE, April lo.-The steamer
spaulding arrived day from Moorehead City
yesterday.
No communication has been received at
Scwbern from Gen. Foster since "Wednesday
night.
The women and children are leaving New
hern. Seven thousand troops attempting to
reach Washington from Newborn were driven
back on Wednesday with the loss Of about SO
men.
The last accounts from Gen. Foster state
that the rebels had sent in three flags Of truce
for him to surrender Washington.
His reply to the last was to send no more
1ags Of truce--if they did he would capture
them, and il they wanted Washington, to
come and tako 1t.
