The Attempt to DESTROY the Translates.

The New York Times Morris Island cores
pendent gives the following account of the
daring attempt of the rebels to destroy the
Iro'ssjaes in Charleston harbor:
1t appears that the enemy had thoroughly
planned the attack long before he put it into
execution. He fitted ont a small steam craft,
having smohe-stack, and partly submerged
IN the water. This craft propelled torpedo.
The craft and the torpedo were united so
that the explosion Of the latter would una
Toldably cause the destruction of the former.
1t IS supposed tina the craft, with the torpedo
attached, was towed from Charleston as far
as Sumter, and then left to pursue its own
course. The internal machine then foated
down toward the I0HsideS, and subsequently,
the torpedo struck the Konsides at about mid
ships, causing a terrible explosion, but not
damaging the vesses to any serious extent
Accounts say the IroaSidcs is as good to-day for
action as she ever was, and if called upon
would not be behind hand in taking part in
an engagement
The nondescript craft to which the torpedo
was attached was blown to atoms and with
it two out of four rebels who volunteered to
engineer it down. The two rebels found float
ing on the water after the explosion, and who
were picked up by boats crew from the
Ironsides, are Lieut.. Glassel formerly of the
United States Navy, and sailing officer
Ioombs These two officers declare that the
expedition was one prompted by desperation.
The citizens of Charleston are pinched for
the simple commodities of life, and unless the
harbor can be forced so as to admit vessels
laden with supplies the most serious conse-
quences will ensue. Before reaching the
ITonsideS the rebel craft was hailed by the
officer of the deck ten separate times, but no
answer was given him. The craft pushed on
until within short rife range Of the iron-clad,
when one of the rebels shot the officer of the
deck, but did not indict severe wound. In
the morning, few pieces of board was all
that could be found Of the rebel machine and
its torpedo.
