We sec nothing specially uniayorahlc IN
the reports thus far received Of the attack on
Charleston. The iron-clad hcokuk l. report
ed sunk and the Nahant temporarily di-a-
blei Our entire loss was two killed and if
teen wounded. Of the loss among the rebels
or Of the damage done to their Notifications
we know nothing; but If it was slight they
would not he slow to boast Of it,
The attack which was in fact only re-
connoissancc in force-beSan on the after
noon Of the It'll Of April, and lasted about an
hour, when our vessels withdrew The Keo-
kuk,-an iron-ciad of the Whitney pattern
differing in important particulars from the
Ericsson Monitors and which was in fact an
ezperiment,-wa was pierced by steel shot,
withdrew from action, and sank Il hours af-
forwards, all her crew having been taken of.
The damage to the other iron-clads was very
slight the Nahant was struck by shot at
the junction of the turret and deck which
wcdCed the turret fast for the time. She
went within 600 yards of Fort Sumter and
the Keokuk went half mile above, receiv-
Ing the concentrated FIRE Of the rebel batteries
which struck her uirety times in so minutes.
The flag ship now Ironsides received $50
shots uniniurcd
The rebels were expecting the attack to be
renewed the next day, but apparently on the
morning of the 10th, it had not recommended
as the monitors were then lying in order
or Cummings Point. One Of the pilots said
the monitors would withdraw, but an officer
of the James Adgcr said that an attack
would begin that afternoon, Friday No
torpedoes had been found, but the channel
above Fort Sumter was Distracted, probably
at the point where the Keokuk stopped.
Though it would be gratifying to learn
that our iron-clads, themselves unhurt, had
reduced the rebel forte and bombarded the
city, it Is not to be expected: that even three
or four vessels should be lost would not be
surprising, considering the time and skill
which the rebels have laid out on their bat
ttrics.

Mr. Bright presented petition from the

vessels for the Confederates, asserting that
fortv vessels were building under pretense Of
being for China, and demanding government
watchfulness and interference.
The seizure Of the pirate merchant steamer

interest, and caused rumors that an additional

duet of the agents employed to disburse the
charities Of the Relief fund in Lancashire is
such az to produce strong dislike toward
them. The london Spectator says:
They accuse the people Of ingratitude,
idleness and deception, lock the doors of the
adult schools, stamp old clothes with the
word 'lent,' talk brutally to applicants, and
act entirely in the interest OF the millowners

Gov. PierPoint OF Virginia, declared that
the South hadinauguated this revolution not
for the purpose OF perpetuating slavery OF
dividing the North but for the purpose Of en-
slaving laboring men, whether they were in
the North orwhether they were in the South.
They held that labor had no right t. particI-
pate in the government Of the country
Gov F. continued:
d" The North had victories and rererses in Chs
contest; but while the South has been united in
this great fight, the North has had its attention
divided. The war would soon draw TO a Close.
and il must have one of two examinations. The
South would subjugate the North and put the
white laboring men Of the North upon an equal

whip the South, aud place them and their slaves
upon an equality, and tel them by the eternal
God that they had no more right than slave
