The telegraph news indicates that the assault
on Charleston by the Federal fleet has not been
successful. The latest intelligence is up to the
9Th inst, last Thursday. The information thus
far received is from rebel sources. As a matter
OF general interest we publish this morning a de-
tailed account of the defences of Charleston,
which certainly are of a most formidable charac
ter. II that stronghold of the rebels can be
overcome by our naval and lard forces, it will be
the most brilliant achievement of the war, and
will be attended with moro important results to
the Federal cause. On the other hand ! decided
repulsc and failure of the expedition, which would
not have been attempted without every appliance
necessary to secure success, will be disastrous in
the extreme, and It's effect will be to give hope
and strength to the rebellion.

CHICAGO, April IA special to the Times
from Helena, Arkansas, of the 9th, says:
The entire Tallahatchie fleet, consisting of
the divisions under Ross and Quiniby and numer-
Gus gun and mortar boats arrived last night. The
expedition, which has been absent about forty
three days, left Fort Greenwood Oh Sunday. As
soon as the hustle was observed by the enemy
they opened a brisk fire of shot and shell upon
the woods where our batteries had been placed
which continued until the last boat had steamed
up the river. On the passage the boats were fire.
q%uently fred upon by guerrillas. A number of
soldiers were wounded and 25 or 80 killed. The
divisions Under Quimby and Harvey are ordered
to Vicksburg.

We have received the following interesting of
fetal correspondence from New Orleans. 1t will
serve to illustrate the character of the Federal
Government in its paternal light. While Abe's
proclamations have clearly established the fact
that the negro slaves are to be freed, his Lieuten-

it no less evident that they are TO be re-en-

their old masters. Read, We Abolitionists and
