Renorted Capture Of Charleston,

NEw York, April 6.--The Herald's
Washington special states that a report
reached here by way Of Fredericksburg,
derived from rebel sources, that Charles
ton was bombarded by our fleet, and at
tackled by our land forces on Thursday
last, and is now in possession Of the Fed
erals under General Hunter and Admiral
Dupont.
This report is fully credited bv promi-
nent officers OF the Government, who arc
in possession of facts in reference TO the
contemplated attack on Charleston, which
it is not yet prudent TO dlvuIge. It's GER
tain, however, that those who posses this
information are confident that our soldiers
and sailors will celebrate the second an.
niversary OF the iail OF Fort Sumter in the
capture OF the city o! Charleston.
Restrictions upon publication in South.
ern papers are 80 stringent that II is not
expected to Gnd much in them in refer.
cucc TO the capture OF Charleston until the
disaster can no longer be concealed /; but
the reports which have arrived here are
definite and positive, and are believed by
those who have the best right ~ know
what foundation there is for it. ..
We have no confirmation Of the above.
1t may and it may not be true. We hope
tits.

point OF difference between the two
branchas of the Legislature. One sec
ton of The bill provides that the soldiers
shall write their names on the back oi
their ballots. This section the Senate
struck out. The House, L think, will not

the box himself; but. il he is out OF the
State, aud his ballot is sent to his place OF
