E. GOT Seventh EVENING BULLETIN WEDNESDAY', FEBRUARY 3, 1864. CHARLESTON The secret is lek out by the tattling New York papers that the siege of Charleston.is virtually abandoned. General Gillmore is coining of his troops have 1 Been sent, or are gcJisg*. elsewhere, and the iron-clads, with the exception of the New ' Ironsides, are to be sent to the Gulf. Thus ingloriously terminates’ the most tedious and costly, enterprise of the war. Charles-' j ton cannot he taken with the forces we have brought against it. The monitors cannot cope with the forts' and the obstruc-’ tipns, and the New Ironsides, which is rdally the only vessel fit to engage the forts, draws-too much water for. the harbor. The capture.. of the city by our land totally impracticable. After the expendi ture of many millifas, and after a bombard ment and a waste of powder scarcely ever exceeded in; warfare, we are compelled to confess our inability to accomplish what we nndertook. ■ Mortifying as this is to us, and exultant as the rebels will be at our discomfiture, the siege of Charleston has not been without its advantages. General Gillmore has done as : much as any man could have done with the forces at his disposal. He has driven the rebels from Folly and Morris Islands. He has destroyed Fort Wagner and many minor batteries, and he has made Fort ■ Suinter.a heap of ruins. He has construe ted batteries where no one drained they could be constructed, and he has thrown shot and shell, with effect, to greater distances than were ever before known. He has made.the greater part of the pestilent city of Charles ton uninhabitable, and has inflicted upon ' the prims movers ’in the rebellion heavy loss in property. Europe has been amazed at the workhe has done, and the lessons .he has taught in the. art of war advance the world’s knowledge of that art more than anything done-in the last quarter of a century. We presume that all the batteries we have constructed will be' held -, by sufficient garrisons, and that the blockade of Charleston will be maintained as strictly as ever. But, until we can have the right • hind of iron-clad fleet to go into the harbor, no further attempt will be made to capture Charleston. A bill has. passed the rebel Hpuse of Representatives, -which, considering the condition of affairs that exist in the South, is rather amusing. It prohibits the trans portation, and sale of “ certain articles” in any port of place in the “Confederate States,” in~the possession of the Union troops, and the barter, sale or exchange of “certain articles” to l alien or domestic enemies. The grumblings of the press, the appearance of the army, the of the people; and the starvation of the Union prisoners, had led us to believe that there were no articles in rebeldom which could be spared for the consumption of enenip. General Lee exhorts his soldiers to endure patiently the reduction of rations, which “hopes will be only temporary”; the Richmond U'% says that as General Lee never Speaks uhtil it.is necessary, “we may be sure that his soldiers have suffered or are likely to suffer,” and suggests that the citizens live on half rations so that the soldiers may have at least quarter rations; another journal complains of the general scarcity of articles of clothing; another wonders what they will do for necessary household articles, and how they can make bread with flour at two hundred and forty dollars per barrel; and a fourth gives in evidence, to prove the scarcity of leather and the high price of labor, the following schedule of prices charged' by»a Richmond bootmaker,, who, it states, is generally overrun with orders : .For making boots, $225; for footing boots, $140; for ordinary cavalry (boots, $250; for gaiters, $110; for high lace shoes, $lOO ; for Oxford ties, $9O ; for fixing, half soling and heeling boots, $62 ; for half soling and heeling boots, $2O ; ditto shoes, $lB ; for new gores to gaiters, re?s Goods. .
