attack on Charleston is intense The Navy and
War Departments are still without official al
vices but no doubt Is entertained that an attack
has been made and that the result is uniavorable
to the Rebels the continued reiterance of the
Rebel newspapers is regarded as almost certain
evidence that they are in possession of news
which confirms that Charleston has fallen before
the combined attack Ct Hunter and Dupont.
Heretofore it has been the practice Of the Reb-
els whenever they have met with successes to
send hig of truce across the Rappahannock
with copies of their papers announcing the news.
Besides this their pIckets are very gloomy and
decline to converse at all upon the subject of the
attack upon Charleston or allow any copies of
their papers to come across the river.
The Navy Department Is in hourly expectation
Of receiving information in regard to the attack,
which they know was to have been commenced
last Thursday
Prominent officers in the NAVY Department to
