icksburg, derived from rebel sources, that
Charleston was bombarded by our feet, and at
tackled by our land forces on Thursday last,

der General Hunter and Admiral Dupont.
This report Is fully credited by prominent
officers of the Government, who are in posses
sion of facts in reference to the contemplated
attack on Charleston, which it is not yet pru-
dent to diyulge.
1t is certain, however, that those who pos
sess this information are confident that our
soldiers and sailors will celebrate the second
anniversary of the fall of Fort Sumter in the
captured city of Charleston.
The restriction upon publication in Southern
papers are SO stringent that it is, not expected
to find much in them in reference to the cap
ture CT Charleston until the disaster can no,
longer be concealek but the reports which
have arrived here are definite and positive, and
are, believed by those who have the best right
to knew what foundation there is Cor it. 'err
