MORNING NGLEADER.
TUESDAY MoRNTNG, APRTL IA, '6s.

The Attack upon CharlestOn--Irs Failure.
We reluctantly report that the attack
upon the Charleston forts is this time a
failure, and that Admiral Dupont has re-
turned to Port Royal The particulars Of
the attack, as received this morning from
q correspondent Of the Tribune, leave no
room to doubt that the report sent North
by the rebels was substantially correct
The feet arrived of Charleston on Monday,
but the attack was not made until the af-
ternoon Of Tuesday. The flagship. the
Ironsides, was unable to advance up the
harbor, and was obliged to anchor below.
This fact doubtless gave rise to the rebel
report that she was disabled. The other
boats advanced to the attack, and for a
time sustained most terrific fire. All of
them were hit many times, and the Keo-
kuk and Passaic were entirely disabled,
while three others Of the ironclads were
partially So The Keokuk suffered most,
being penetrated no fewer than nineteen
times. She fought bravely, and finally
went down with colors flying, all the crew
being saved. The Admiral signalled the
vessels to withdraw, and then decided to
desist from further conflict. Accordingly,
the feet was preparing to return to Port
Royal when the correspondent left the
scene. The damage, however, was not all
upon the side of the Federals, as there
were eleven large holes visible in Fort
Sumter.
His not right for US to judge hastily, at
this distance from the scene, as to the re-
pulse. 1t is certainly to be regretted that
50 long time was taken for preparation If /
nothing was to come oft. It is also un-
fortunate that such complete faith in the |
success of the expedition has been con-
stantly expressed by those who have writ
ten from Port Royal It would have been
better if they had dwelt more upon the /
difficulties to be overcome, that the people |
Of the North might not expect too much.
Whether anything will come of the
movement of land forces toward the rear
of the city, remains to be seen. We hope
there may, but have not great expecta-
tons"

The Emancipation Proclamation Abroad.
Amos Perry, Esq, United States Consul
at Tunis, in a private letter to the Provi-
dence Journal, gives some testimony as to
the effect of the Emancipation Proclama-
ton abroad. He says:
The Emancipation Proclamation of the
President has done much to improve the
public sentiment of the Old World. Lib.
erty now stands out in bold contrast with
slavery. Our nation is committed before
the world to the cause of liberty, as openly
as the South is for slavery. The Presi-
dents explanation was needed. An intel
ligent Frenehmen said to me last summer:
Your Presidents and your Ministers are
generally better exponents Of slavery than
freedom. Such remarks can no longer be
made with justice God bless Presi-
dent Lincoln, said an Italian to me yester-
day, referring to his Proclamation.

Hoyvthe Cincinnatians fed the Soldiers.
A soldier Of one Of the Massachusetts
regiments which lately. passed through
Cincinnati, tells the following tale of how
he was fed in that hospitable town:
HAt the market there were tables set,
and such tables, and such victuals, and such
pretty women OH my mouth waters
vet We went in. There was a pretty
woman near me with coffee; prettier one
with ham, and still handsomer one with
eggs; in fact, there was nothing but pret-
ty women and good vietuals. I ate until
thought I'd burst but a woman filled my
plate and bowl, telling me not to be BASH
ful, and ate. did SO three times. The
fourth time, asked her if she thought she
was Christian. She wanted to know
why. I told her he Bible said Thou shalt
not kill and if she made me est any more
she would disobey that command. She took
my haversack and brought it back full Of
good things. It was never so full before;
but she would not let me of 50. She did
q boiled ham up in paper, and loaf of
bread In another; then a few things to
pnt in my pockets. The few things in my
trowsers pockets were three apples, two
boiled eggs, two picked cucumbers, pa
per with butter in it, in my coat pockets
were 8 large piece Of cheese, two pieces Of
pie, piece Of cake, one picked tomato
and one onion All the rest Jared the
same.

The following are extracts from letter
from an ex-engineer of the Cleveland s

Machinist No less than four engineers
from this road are in the same company,
as well as many others from other depart

CAMP NEAR LANCASTER, KENTUCKY,
April Sd, 1868
DEAR SIR: We are still above ground,
and are enjoying good health. We have
been having some rather busy times here
of late, especially about the twenty-fourth
of last month. We were attacked at Dan
vile on the Path, and had to retreat to
Heckman's bridge to save our wagon
train, distance of fifteen miles. They
followed US, and it was a kind of a run
ming fight all the way, but after we got
the train safe, we turned on them, and
have been chasing them ever since They
have burned several bridges, one nearit this
place, and they were in such hurry about
it that they left four hundred of their own
men on this side, which were all taken
prisoners. There has been some part OF
our brigade lighting them every day since
the 24th, and have taken any amount Of
prisoners and horses. There were three
hundred prisoners sent in last evening,
and as many horses. The last heard Of
the remainder Of them, they were swim
ming the Cumberland river, and the 44th
and 45th Ohio and Wolford's Cavalry were
close behind them, spurring them up with
cold lead l hardly think they will try
another raid into the State of Kentucky.
The prisoners report the Southern army
in almost a starving condition. They say
they have been three days at a time with
out food, and have had to live on horse
and mule flesh the past winter If such is
the case, can't see how they can hold out
much longer. We have plenty to eat,
drink and wear, are well used and well
paid, and are willing to stay and see it
through My health is good I never en-
jOyed better health in my life. William
son is tough as a knot. The remainder Of
the railroad boys are well, with the excep-
ton Of Bresette-he has lost his speech
He is in the hospital at Lexington, and |
the last I heard from him be was getting
worse hardly think he will ever be |
any better. Let us know how they like |
the draft in Cleveland. Direct to Company |

How Fortunes are Made and Losr in War
Times.
The New York Journal of Commerce
gives the following instances of the haz-
ard of mercantile transactions during war
times
An invoice Of six hundred bales of
cotton was consigned to this market, on
English account 1t was sold at ninety
three cents per pound, and the seller at
once engaged his exchange for remittance.
Before the transactions were concluded,
the turn came, and both cotton and ex-
change came down. The buyer of the cot
ton was not able to take it, but the buyer
of the exchange was compelled to fulfill
his agreement, so that he was compelled to
pay 100000 on his part Of the transae-
ton while the cotton still remained unsoldl
Take another instance: A celebrated man
ufacturer bought Of a very clever specu-
lator 500 bales Of cotton for forward deliv-
cry at a high price-say eighty eight
cents. Cotton went down, down, down,
every day, and the manufacturer warns
into panic. So he settles his contract
by paying over to the fortunate operator
q check for S84, ,000."
