OBITUARY
There comes occasionally a death that startles
Its witl3.its suddenness sad shocks - our - feelings
at the great loss it has entailed. Death it is said
loves to strike its shafts -against a shining light,
and when we see its arrow directed to the young
and the good, we pause to contemplate its fatal
mar. h. and ask ourselves, who next! This fell dE.-
stroyer lately visited a loving circle, and carried
otitis pride, its joy and its idol. The death of
_LEWIS B WARD was no common event. In
the very budding of early manhood.'he tad en
deared himself to a large circle , of friends and re.
lathes by his suavity as well as kindness of heart,
and few who knew him failed to note the rectitude
of his purposes, as well as the kindly sympathy
that ever directed his intercourse with his fellows.
Young and hopeful, the world had opened b ight
and bEautifal to his vision. His prospects inlife
Were fair, and he had stimulated his young ener
gies in developing those natural gifts
which God had' given him in a life and
work eminently practical and utilitarian.
But when a few days since all was bright and
hopeful, then comes a saddening wail
from sorelybereaved relatives, testifying to the loss
sustained. Weep on, bereaved ones, the Saviour
of man wept, and to His bands we commit those
who have been called to 'mourn the loss of son,
brother and friend. It would be Idle to recapitu
late the virttes that so adorned the life of our
young friend. His best testament is that given in
the universal sympathy felt and expressed by
those who knew him best and loved him mist.
May He who rules the storm, temper this myste
rious dispensation to those whom it so summarily
affects. and bestow upon them consolation such as
the world denies and cannot give. i) W. H. S.

ANOTHER - TORPEDO STEAMER IN
• CHARLESTON HARBOR.
Unsuccessful Attempt to
Blow Up the Wabash.
A Broadside', Demolishes or
Drives. Off the 'a orpedo.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.
j ,
HitTos Haan, S. 0., April ?2, lE6l.—On Mon
: day night last, 15th inst. the Char eston rebels
made a bold but unsuccessful .attempt to destroy
the noble frigate Wabash, at her anchorage off
Charleston bar, where she was doing off-shore
blockade service.
'I he, torpedo steamer was precisely like the
''David' that blew up the Housatonic and tried
the same game on the frigate New Ironsides. It
is deseribed.as a sort of cigar. shaped steamer, with
a torpedo attached to a projecti .n from the bow,
and revealing but -little of the hull above water.
One or two of the same sort have been frequently
observed-inside the harbor, cruising about during
the night,
When the machine was discovered by the watch
on the frigate she was a hundred yards front the
-Wabash, approaching continuously and silently.
It wasirstantlylmiled;butnoresponse was elicited.
A second hail followed, and the entire watch was
on the alert, when no answer was returned from
the mysterious craft.. A third hail was followed
by a discharge of musketry from the ship; but the
black mass moved straight on towards the frigate.
The battle-roll was beaten, and the crew were in
stahtlyat their guns, which were cast loose and di
rected against the stranger in the twinkling of an
eye. In another momentthe roar of a division of
broadside guns was heard, and when the smoke
cleared away no traces of the rebel "lhivad." were
to be seep, although a dozen night-glasses care
fully swept the surface of the sea about* the •ship
and towards the bar. • What her fate was cannot
of course be stated, with certainty, but it lathe
opinion o f all on boare the Wabash that she was
struck and sunk by the shot front the frigate. -
She may have escaped the lire and returned in
safety to the city, whence she came, perhaps to
try the erpertment once again.
The Xi a.,ash is ancboree between three and four
mites from the bar and about lea miles 'rrom the
city To r.aCh her the torpeco boat passad by Fort
uste er, by. the Monitors picket off Fort'Mont.
trig, past. the insine blockading squ'dron, and
tt,r,agh the wraith) blocka:ers, berate danger of
discovery ana probable destruction was passed
In spite c 4 ell these d mgers tie Welt
cut. and was of is disco eared and cies:: oye 3 as she
approached the object of her mission. These facts
exhibit pretty clearly the as tred winch antmates tie
rebels when they look ppm theWt.bash, which gave
them such a sound thrashing at Port Royal, under
.he brave Dupont; and it may be readily imagined
that their desire to destroy her and get her out of
sight is qni:e as strong .as their hatred. But she
still floats, with a splendidlot of officers and a flue
veteran clew, with an unequaled battery and
with her tremendous powers Intact, and ever ready
to be used against all comers, foreign or traitors, in
'spite of the rebels' devilish ingenuity and bold
attempts to hide her from theirsight.
The Watatki arrived-this afternoon at this port,
preparatory tagoing North.
The affair between the Wabash and the torpedo
boat is not the only one I can chronicle. The
rebels seem to be particularly active in this their
favorite, but - pecollar mode of warfare. Not a
month ago the Memphis, lying in the Edlato,
blockading, was visited one night by two torpedo
boats, which bad been sent down from Charleston
to blow her up, and her consort as well: They
mere discovered about the ship, butting Into her
sides and under her stern, but without creating
uspiclon. Finally, after vainly trying to explode
their infernal machines, they backed off and started
up the river. A boat was lowered and sent after
them, as they were supposed to be only canoes ur
something of the kind; but they were nakover
taken. Their true character. was then suspected;
but the suspicion was not confirmed until some
time afterwards.
. A general order from Commodore Rowan has pat
every vessel in the squadron on the lookout for the
fellows, and it is not likely that any will be caught
napping. We shall probably bear of other at •
tempts during the summer, but none, I hope, fol.
lowed by success.
The scene of last summer's campeign before
Charleston seems likely to he swallowed up by
the waters at no distant day. The winter and
spring gales have made serious inroads on the nar
row belt of sand that constitutes the famous Morris
Island. Every gale seems to wash away a greater
area of sand, and so rapidly has the process
gone on during the past six months that
it is not safe to say that another succession of se
vere gales, such as those that so- vehemently tore
along the coast in Meech, may not make an inlet
between Ports Wagner and Gregg, or indeed wash
away both of them. The beach has receded so far
as to reyeal the remains of a number of Union and
rebel soldiers buried about Wagner and Gregg.
The remains have been reinterred in a place where
they will not again be disturbed by the elements,
unless the entire island should be swept away.
The Monitor Nahant, Lieutenant Commander J.
J. Cornwall, sailed from here yesterday in tow' of
the Fan! Jones, Commander Duncan, for her sta
tion on the inside blockade of Charleston. She
will relieve the &thgamon, which will come here
for repairs. '
The MonitoeCitskill, Commander N. B Harri
son{ now repairing at Sta•ion creek, will be fin
ished in ten days, and proceed to Charleston.
The gunboat Pocahontas, Commander Jones,
touched here yesterdayfor coal. She is on the way
to the Western Gulf squadron, at New Orleans.
Commander Aaron R. Rngbes has been detached
Item the Cimerone and ordered North. Lieuten
ant Commander. John 7d. Russell has been ordered
to aeettme command. Captain Hughes has per
formed gallant e ervice in the squadron, and his de

FURTHER FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF THE
° • SOUTH.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.]
• Ifitiroist HnAn, S. C., April 21, 1861.—0 n the
afternoon of the 15th inst., a reconnoissance was
made to near Legareville, by a detachment of the
127th New York regiment, under the command of
Captain Gurney, of Company E. The expedition
was accompanied by the gunboat Sonoma, which
opened her batteries on the rebel pickets stationed
at James 'lsland. A brief skirmish took place on
the Island, but no casualties occurred on our side
from that cause.. When our men were returning,
one of the number stepped on a torpedo which was
buried in the road, exploding the same, and
wounding Elias B. Miller, Company B, face;
George Bloxomb, Company E, face; and

[Correspondence of the New York Herald.]
MARTINSBURG, April 26.—A force of rebels is r
ported to he "concentrating at Front Royal. How
large the force is we do not know. There is s=as
indication that the force referred to will commence
offensive operations on the. lowering of 'the Shen
ar doah river. The river is now greatly swo lea.
If the weather does not soon materially change it
will not be fordable for some time to come. The
Potomac river is also exceedingly high. Many of
the mountain streams are almost raging,
To what the rebels have heretofore had on .our
front has • been added a new command, uniformed
in blick or very dark brown. -
Captain Herzog, of . the - Ist New York Lincoln

the late cavalry skirmish beyond Strasburg.
Captain J. B. McDonald. late Depot Com

Report of the capture of Newbern by the rebekk

that no intelligence of this sort has been received-.
there,and the report is discredite 1.. It'is-probablesn
that his rumor grew- out of an order of Gen_
Butler forbidding civilians from going to New--
bern.
It is said that orders will soon be issued to-cora--

carry out retaliatory measures upon the rebels.
What these measures are has not yet treur-•

It is not probable that there will be a call made
on Governor Curtin for tht militia of the State, a.t
this time. We understand, however, that the mi
litia of the Western States were tendered and ac
cepttd by the President, to protect. Cincinnati e
Cairo, Paducah, Columbus, and exposed points:
oil the Mississippi river. The militia of Newr
York are to garrison the fortifications in New-York
Larbor, and the New England militia -are to per-
form the same service in the fortifications of Bos
ton harbor, and along the eastern coast, -
Governor Curtin tendered militia before the
battle of Chancellors ville, to garrison the fortifica
tions around Washington city, and he has ever -
since been in readiness to furnish- troops when.
needed by the national authorities. If the militia
were taken from the State now, to be of service to
the Government, it would be necessary- , for such.
forces to go to Virginia; at d the points there are
too important and too much exposed to-be garri
soned by green troops: and in ease of invasion, the ,
milit..ry force of the Suite would be thus exhausted,
and our border left at the mercy of the invader.
We are happy to have it in our power to announce
that the most cordial and reciprocal feeling exists.
between the national and State authorities, anct
that in any emergency which may occur, there's.
a perfect understanding to control and give force to
their combined action. -Harrisburg Telegraph.
