New YoRK, April l3.--The Tribune's ac-
count OF the Charleston fight says The squad.
ron arrived off Charleston on the morning Of
the 5th, and spent the day In examining bars
and channels, the wind being too high to eros,
that evening. The admiral declared his plan
of attack, which was to sail directly up and at
tack the southwest face OF Fort sumter, at six
or eight hundred ya.ds. About o'clock Mon
day morning, the signal for q movement was
given, and the vessels started slowly. In con-
sequence of the fog, however, they we're obliged
to postpone the intended attack till next day.
During the afternoon one of General Fnry's
brigades worked ita way up Foley Island, and
established communication with the fleet, but no
portion of the land forces got into the attack al
ell. On the 7th, at4:15 p. M. the feet goi

tion was feared, and every precaution vas be-
ing taken to avert it. The effect upon the

very clamorous, and demanding that their FAM

Reinforcements are hurrying up to Richmond

out of use. Other boats also passed M 10 N 4

were stopped by the obatrucions aud turned

After being under fire three. quarters Of an
hour, all the monitors were ordered back, and
at O'Clock the entire feet was ont Of range and
the action ceased. Admiral Dupont intended
to renew the attack next day, but On ascertain.
Ing that the Keokuk and Passaic were entirely
disabled, and three others partially so, he con-
cluded to desst in which he was sustained by
all the commanders. The monitors we're hit
from 5O to 60 times each, except the Keokuk,
which received about ninety shots and was
penetrated at water mark no less than nineteen
times. She was kept aAoat till next morning,
when she sunk on the bar, her colors flying,
and all on board were saved. The Ironsides
was bit about sixty times, but not damaged.
There are eleven large holes inside of Fort
sumter, apparently running through the walls.
The firing only amounted to one hundred and
fifty rounds. When our correspondent left two
OF the monitors had sailed for Port Royal, and
others were TO follow. Our entire casualties
amounted to thirteen, of whom but two or
three were killed.
The Times' special gives the following list
OF casualties on the Nahant: Commander
Downs, slight confusion in foot; Pilot Isaac
Geabed, severe confusion in neck and should.
ers, doing well; M Cobb, compound fracture
OF skull, since died; three seRmen slightly.
keokuk-Commander A G Rhind, confusion in
leg; A Mcintosh, Acting Ensign, dangerously;
Nicholson, quartermaster, slightly; three
semen seriously, and seven others slightly.
The Times correspondent says of the Char
lesion fight The iron ships were concentrating
hre from five different points, unparalleled In
the history Of the war. The feet found it i'm
possible to PISS up beyond Fort Sumter and as
sume the appointed place, owing TO obstruetions
which extended across the entire channel from
Sumter 10 Moultre, while above these, near
the middle ground, were three other batteries,
and above the three rebel iron -clads. The feet
was thus compelled to sustain this terrific fire,
and nobly did 60, for thirty minutes. During
that time not less than thirty five hundred shots
were fired by the enemy, one hundred and sixty
being counted In single minute.
The Times publishes an extra containing q
detailed account of the fight at Charleston.
1t says the result of the reconnaissance proves
the utter insuffcieney of ihe iron clad fleet to
take Charleston alone. The Nshant received
thirty wounds, several being bad fractures.
The Pas Iaio Was also wounded severely 10 the
tuEret and wheel-house. The NantuckePs tur-
ret was 80 Jared that her port couldn't be open

of the country, was unable to hold them, being

while the enemy's cannot be less than three
