writes Charleston.correspondent ofthe Times,
land the more [ hear of their actions, the more
wonder at their heroism and selfsacrfce.
Words, indeed, cannot express my admiration
for them. The War could not have gone on
without them. The women of all classes have
Sent, without murmur, their husbands, sons
and those they hold most Gear, to the wars;
and in the absence of the men they have TILED
the fields, made clothes for, the troops, and
nursed the sick. When contrast the firmness
of purpose and spirit Of selfsacrifce with the
empty Dragging and indifcrences so prevalent
in the North, have no doubt of the issue Of
the struggle"

N. n. Willis ON the South.

We extract the following from letter written
by Willis to the Home Journal, about the begin
ming of the secession movements 1t contains
more OF truth than the majority ofhs writings ;
Politics, trade and sectional differences quite
out of the question (and "News" knows the
branches of the question are sufficiently dis
cnssed in the other papcrs), VIC are sustaining
great social loss in the estrangcment Of the
South. In all the larger and more refined cir
cics OF our American .society-at Saratoga and
Newport, in our gaeties of the cities, and on
our routes of fashionable travel and resort, the
Southerncrs unqucstionaby the class most
sought anc admired as "the incest people" 1t
would be hard to find Il cultivated society
man." probably, any where at the North, who
docs not number many of his most valued
friends and pleasantest acquaintances in this
class Explain it by what social alchemy you
please, too, the Southern amaglam in any
alembic Of politcncss at the North, exceedingly
improves the nletal-party, no doubt, from the
corrective given by the more generous and
graceful qualities of the South. The Ameri-
can travellers who shine most at foreign courts
and Ill foreign society, arc from the South.
They are, in fact, our country's natural patric-
lans. And--abnsed though they are at a dis
tancc, 10y some of the Northcrn Newspapers,
as an offensive olsarchy-thc tribute of pre-
ference and admiration is paid to them by these
very Northerners, at this very time, whenever
they come personally in contact. And so, with
all the momentous issues of secession left to
moro gregarous discussion may we now fairly
own, that, individually, Northern men are re-
gretting exceedingly the social estrangement Of
the South.

The RESULT OF THE ISvAs1oH IL SUCCESSFUL
The Philadelphia Inquirer, commenting on
the invasion of the State, has very warm
sermon" told You 'twould be So" being
the text. 1t thanks Heaven that it never un.
derrated the strength of the rcbels-it never
credited the reports about their being ragged
and half starved, and tired of the war-and now
in spite Of its warnings here's the thing itself
come at last. 1t draws the following very sad
picture
1t 1t is made apparent to the world that we
cannot overthrow the rebellion that seeks to
secure It's end by 'rendcrng certain the break
ING up of the Federal Union" then we stand
before the world shorn of all our national dio-
nifty. If twenty-onc millions of men, with re-
sources ard facilities such as ours, cannot con-
qucr rcbeilious faction of five and half mil
lions of men, holding sonc fonr millions of
slaves, then is our national banter traied in
dust, and every American citizen Inundated in
the eyes the world.

Fort Monroe, April 10.-The Richmond
Nhig of yesterday has the following
exciting intelligence:
s'Oharleston, April THE attack on
Charleston commenced today Four
iron-clads out of seven in the Yankee
feet were engaged.
The firing from the feet and from Forts
Sumter and Moultrie and from Morris Is
land was very heavy. The Lronsides was
hit and ran ashore, but subsequently got
off and was taken out of range.
At two o'clock in the afternoon nine
monitors and the Ironsides opened fire
at distance of 5000 yards.
at "a o'clock the firing on both sides
became incessant, aud was kept up till 5
O'Clock, when it gradually diminished
The fire of the fleet was was concentrated
on Fort Sumpter. The Ironsides and the
heokuk withdrew from the engagement
at o'clock apparently disabled ri Intense
excitement prevailed in this city.
Our Monitors (rams) have just gone out
to take part in the fight.
Our casualties are one boy killed and
five men badly wounded, in Fort Sumter.
Reports from the other batteries have not
yet come to hand.
Charleston, April 8.-Seven terrete6
iron clads and the Ironsides, are inside the
bar. The Keokuk is sunkQj on the beach
off Morris Island. There is no DISPOSE
ton on the part Of the Federals to renew
the conflict
Richmond papers of yesterday also con-
tain the following:
Vicksburg, April THE enemy is

Yesterday all the tents were struck and
four large transports have gone up the
river losde with troops. The enemy has
cut the levee and turned the waters into
the old camping ground.
Jackson Miss, April 7.-Commodore
Farragut with three vessels is above Port
Hudson. He signalled lower fleet but
none have gone down the river yet. The
Fedsrals have contracted their lines at
Memphis. The Hartford landed at Bayou
Sara this morning and destroyed the gov

A SeCesh All Hall.

Wisconsin, all hail From the returns resolved,
Chief Justice is elected by majority of ten thou
sand. This is a splendid triumph.-Chicdoo Tsmes.
We advise our Copperhead contempor-
aries to temper their joy. 1t is foolish to
shout till you are out OF the woods. The
Copperhead candidate may be elected in
Milwaukee and Chicago. 1t is not Unusual
for the newspapers of those cities, Repub-
lican as we'll as Democratic, to have news
of great Democratic victories in this State
for few days after election. Two years
ago they elected KNowLToN over Judge
DOLE, for at least two weeks after the
election. We demonstrated. We told them
to wait till the rural districts were fully
heard from. They couldn't be induced,
however, to listen to our advice. By and
ley, however, it turned oat that Judge
COLE had the neat little plurality of 1856
over KNowLroN, and 992 majority over
all. The returns, as we read them, indi-
cate similar result now. We may be
mistaken. 1t is possible that the copper
head candidate is elected. In some Re.
publican strongholds treason has done its
worst, and men protesting to be Republi-
cans, and not to love JEFF. DAVIS or any
of his friends, have nevertheless labored
zealously for CoTHRRN, because, forsooth,
he or his friends have given pledges, in
advance, that if elected he would decide
certain suits in which they were interest.
ell in their favor. These men live in the
districts OF the State first heard from
Their infdelity gives the first returns an
unpleasant look, but we are still confident
that when the entire vote of the State is
received, it will be found that Chief Jus.
tice DIXON is reelected.

One Man that Appreciates It.

There is one man in Beloit at least who
appreciates the character Of the result of
the recent vote of that city for Chief
Justice. In private business note dated
the 7th, he says:
1.-THE election is over. and Beloit nas
proven to the satisfaction of every true
Union Republican, that there is less moral
and political honesty here, than in any
other town in Wisconsin. The city. as
you are aware, gives Oothren 20 majority,
and the town 70 for Cothren, and none
tor Dixon. 1t has been accomplished by
the falsehoods and intrigues of Farm
Mortgagors and repudiators of town bonds.
Among the great lights who have pros
duced this result, are Judge Noggle and
Charlie Williams of GAINESVILLE, and amoue
the lesser lights, - and - of Beloit.
and the copperhead Democrats with whom
they have fraternized at this election

hammock are in receipt of unpleasant news.
They gather in knots, talk it over, and are
extremely quiet. They are apparently in
very bad spirits. The pickets take unusual
pains to prevent the exchange of news
papers or communication of intelligence
through any channel.
1t has, however, been ascertained by
conversation with stray rebels, military
and civil, that a decided advantage had
been gained by our forces at Charleston,
and that a fort had been taken, but what
fort is not stated.
Richmond papers of q later date than
those received yesterday contain no dis
patches whatever from South Carolina.
The belief is entertained in civil and
military circles here, that Charleston has

felt in the ability of thirty guns and six

the four hundred guns and the rebel army.
