SFX/EW OF THE FIGHT
On - CHARLINTOS HARBOR, April 8, 1863
The great struggle is over. The enterprise on
which so many months of preparation have been
bestowed, and to which the eyes of the whole
American people, loyal and disloyal. have been
directed with the most intense interest, has
proved a failure. The rebel flag atilt floats over
Cbarleaton and its defences, And our iron-clad
fleet has withdrawn from the conflict, baffled and
in part disabled.
PUEPAHATIONS row THe ATTACK.
On Sunday last, the sth 104., the iron-clad
Beet joined the blockading vessels outside of
Charleston bar, some five or six miles from that
Yort S u mter which it was their special mission
to capture or destroy. These consisted of the
New ironsides, to which Admiral Dupont trans
ferred his pennant, the Weehawken, the Passaic,
the Montauk, the Patapsco, the Catskill, the
Nantucket, the Nahant and the Keokuk, in all
nine iron clads, all of which, with the exception
d the New Ironsides and the Keokuk, were of
the Monitor Pattern. That same afternoon the
indispensable service of buoying out the bar was
performed by Commander Rhind, of the Keokuk,
and Mr. C. O. Bontelle, of the United States
Coast Survey, in the Bibb, assisted by the pilots
of the squadron. In this work they were unmo
lesied by the enemy, and it was performed with
great success.

ready for the movement. The captains of the
vessels had been already tarnished with the full

MONDAY'S INACTION
By nine o'clock in the morning the iron-clads
bad crossed the bar, and had taken tip their
position in the main ship channel, lying within
a mile of the shore of Morris Island and extend
ing in a line parallel with it. The early. morn
ing was hazy, and later on the fog became go
thick as to obscure the ranges by which the fleet
was to steer. This rendered it impeeeible to
move, and again the attack had to be deferred.
I=
The sun rose bright and clear on Tuesday
morning. The sea was smooth se a mirror, and
the atmosphere so translucent that we could see
right um to the city. All hearts were throbbing
with anxiety as to the results of the conflict in
which these little iron-clads were about to en
gage. And here I may as well remark that the
same confidence of success which seemed to have
taken possession of the people, and even of the
government, did not find itself fully reflected in
the minds of the Admiral and of his officers.
They knew the difficulties they had to encounter,
the odds they had to contend with. They knew
the powerful batteries which lined the shores on
either side for four miles, and forbade all hostile
entrance to the harbor. They were aware that,
in addition to those destructive engines of war,
the various channels were so obstructed that
cm if the iron•clads should prove altogether
invulnerable they would still find their passage
blocked up by obstructions, which it might be
impossible, and would certainly be difficult., to
remove ; and they knew, moreover, that., howev
er well adapted for defensive purposes the inm
ate& might prove to be, the difficulty of mance.-
vering them, and the fewness of their guns—
heavy though they might be—did not commend
them for offensive purposes against such fortifi
cations as those which they should have to en
counter.
The attack would have commenced an hour or
two earlier than it did had it not been that the
Admiral was advised to wait for the ebb tide
rather than sail up with the flood tide, as the
former would be more apt to discover the locali
ty of the obstructions in the channel; and the
tide turned. at eleven o'clock. During these
hours of suspense the eye had an opportunity of
taking the features of the scene on which the,
great act was to be played. The blue waters
danced in the bright sunshine, and flocks of sea
birds dipped their white wings in the waves and
uttered their shrill cries as they swooped down
ward after their prey. Over the parapets of '
Forts Sumter and Moultrie the rebel defenders I
were watching our movements and signalizing
them; and even on the roofs and steeples of the '
distant city we could see hundreds of spectators.
Distinctly in view were the numerous batteries,
extending from the Wappoo creek, on the Ashley
river, following the contour of James Island,
down to the Lighthouse battery, on the south
point of Morris Island. On the other side they
were more numerous still—Breach Inlet battery,
on the lower end of Sullivan's Island ; Fort
Bennregard, and on up to Fort Moultrie; while
in the centre of the picture, rising as it were
from the water, stood Fort Sumter, displaying
the rebelling on one angle and the Palmetto flag
on the opposite angle; and beyond, Fort Ripley
and Castle Pinckney, the city filling up the
background.
Meanwhile the attacking vessels lay at anchor
in the main ship channel, within a mile of the
batteries on Morris Island, without provoking a
hostile shot. The Weehawken was in the van
and the other vessels in the order in which they
are named in the plan of attack. Precisely at
half-past twelve o'clock the fleet commenced to
move. The distance to the positions at which
they were directed to attack was nearly four
miles, and for almost all that distance they were
within range of the enemy's batteries. But
again there is a delay. Grappling irons attached
to the Weehawken have got foul of her anchor
cable, and it takes nearly an boar to set matters
right. At last the difficulty is got over, and
Once more the vessels have got under weigh.
Slowly they move up the ship channel. ' They
pus within easy range of Fort Wagner, on Mor
ris Island; but not a shot disputes their pro
gress; they pass the battery at Cummings'
Point—nained, I believe, Battery Bee—but still
not a discharge from a rebel gun, And it is not
till the vessels have got fairly between the two
upper points of Morris Island and Sullivan's Is
land—which are about a mile apart—and are
rounding to make the entrance of the harbor,
that the ominous stillness is broken. Fort Sum
ter opens the ball with her barbette guns; Fort
Moultrie taloa up the loud refrain. The various
batteries join in the deafening chorus, and the
iron clads find themselves within a circle of fire,
concentrated from all the rebel guns that can be
brought to bear upon the point.
Nor is that all that these Utile floating t xrels
have to contend with. If it were, they might
have held on their way defiantly, and run the
gauntlet of all the batteries that stood between
them and Charleeton. The weak aide of Fort
Sumter is well known to he its northwest front.
That was the point against which the rebel en
.ginett s were determined that we B. ould not get.
at. From the northeast tingle of the fort, across
the channel to fart Moultrie, were suspended,
floating from barrels and kept taut by weights,
heavy nets and contrivances of roping, so fixed
as to be sure to get entangled in the propelling
apparatus of vessels, and also connected with
torpedoes. Into this not the Weehawken, which
led the van, fell and for a long time her ma
chinery was ,useless and she drifted with the
current. At last, after great exertions, she ex
tricated herself. The ether vessels sheered off
and avoided the same peril. mere was no get-
ling into the required position in this way. Any
attempt to persevere iu that course would have
rendered the fleet unmanageable and exposed it ,
to destruction. Baffled in the attempt to get
round or paet Port Sumter in that way, the bull
dog Monitors sought another opening; but even
the shoal ground between the fort and Cum
mings' Point was barred up with piles. In fact,
Fort Sumter was found to be the apex of a trian
gle, the two sides of which were impenetrable to
our vessels, and at the base line of which they
were exposed to a concentric fire from-Form
Sumter and Moultrie, the Itedan, Battery Bee
and Fort Beauregard. Thus brought to a stand,
and nothing being left hut either to batter down
Fort Sumter or retire, the iron clads went reso
lutely to their work. Stretching themselves in
a line between Sumter and Moultrie, and only
giving an occasional shot to the latter work, they
piled their guns upon the walls of Sumter.
The Keokuk steamed up to within some three
hundred yards of the fortress, while the other
vessels lay at Intermediate distances between
that and six hundred yards. The Ironsides—
the Admiral's flagship—bad become entirely un
manageable, refusing to answer her helm ; so
that, with the excepgpn of one broadside which
she poured into Fort Moultrie, she took no part
in the attack, although she was herself the tar
get of many of the enemy's largest guns, and
was hit some sixty or seventy times, sustaining,
however, no material damage. For half an hour,
while our vessels were in the position I have de
scribed, the cannonading was of the most awfully
gland and terrible character. No words of
mine, no words of any man, can convey a faint
idea of it. It was sublimely terrifio. No less
than three hundred guns of the largest calibre
concentrated their tire upon the eight assailants,
who had but sixteen guns with which to respond.
The contest was too unequal to be persevered in.
The Keokuk was soon badly damaged. The
turret of the Passaic was so indented as to pre
vent its revolving. The Patapsco had her two
hundred pound Parrott gun disabled ; and, be
sides, night was coming on. The Admiral there
fore signalized the fleet to retire, and sullenly
they fell back from a contest in which they were
so tremendously overmatched ; not, however,
without leaving their mark behind. The north
east front of Fort Sumter, - which was the only
one exposed to our fire, was badly damaged. No
less than eleven holes, some of them three feet
wide, and Iwo embrasures knocked into one,
showed the effect of the Monitors' guns. But
that wag all we effected—that and the dissipation
of a popular error that Charleston could be cap
tured by nine or ten iron clads. The signal to
cease firing was given about five o'clock. It was
obeyed, and the vessels fell back to the flagship,
the parting shot being fired by the Nantucket as
she passed Fort Wagner.
And thus ended the most remarkable conflict
that has ever taken place between war vessels
and land fortifications—remarkable in this, that
the guns of the forte outnumbered by ten to one
those of the vessels. And yet, after all, to what
is our failure to be attributed? To the impreg
nability of the land batteries or the weight and
number of their guns ? Only to a slight degree.
The real instruments of our defeat were the ap
parently insignificant and contemptible barri
cades of ropework and netting suspended across
the channel, and which kept our vessels at a
point on which the rebel guns had previously
been concentrated. Forts might have been
passed and batteries silenced; but these twining
enemies, which, like the serpents of Laocoon,
coiled themselves around the motive machinery
of our vessels and prevented the play of their
iron arms, were not to be got ride of by force.
In their grasp our vessels were innocuous. And
therefore the unfavorable result of the enterprise
is not to be accepted as any test of the relative
powers of iron elude and land batteries. Without
those obstructions, all the forts that defended
Charleston, from Lighthouse Point to Castle
Pinckney, would have been insufficient to stop
our Monitors from anchoring off the Battery at
Charleston.
It has been calculated that some 3,500 rounds
were fired by the rebels. In one minute there were
one hundred and sixty counted. On our side
there Were but one hundred and fifty shots fired
in all; so that the rebels fired over twenty shots
to our one. The Ironsides fired but one broad
side, and that was at Fort Moultrie. That was
her only offensive operation throughout the day.
The Keokuk only fired three shots before she
received her death wound.
I=
The result of the day's operations may be
summed up thus:—The injury to the rebel forti
fications is not such as will work any great loss
to them,
as we cannot renew the attack immedi
ately. On our side we lose the Keokuk, which
sunk this morning, and which is to be blown up
to day, to prevent her falling into the hands of
the rebels. She was struck by ninety shots. Of
these nineteen were on the water line, fifteen in
the after turret, twelve in the forward turret and
twenty five on the sides.
The Passaic is disabled by having her turret
so injured that it cannot revolve, and sbe has to
be sent to Port Royal for repairs. She was
struck fifty eight times. The Patapsco was in
jured by having her two hundred pound Parrott
gun disabled. She was struck from forty to fifty
times. The Nahant was struck eighty times,
and had her pilothouse completey shattered. The
Ironsides was hit from sixty to seventy times,
receiving no material damage beyond the knock
ing off one of her port shatters, thus exposing
her gundeck. The Weehawken was struck fifty
nine times, and had her funnel deeply indented,
so that she worked with difficulty. The Montauk
Was hit twenty times. The Nantucket and Cats
kill were each bit about fifty times, having their
decks considerably torn.
QUEETION OF HEMMING THE FIGHT.
The captains of the iron-dads met in the eve
ning on board the flagship, and I understand
that there was bat one opinion among them as to
the question of abandoning or renewing the con
flict, and that was against renewing it at present.
Besides the impediments which had to be con
tended with yesterday, similar obstructions
could be seen higher up the harbor. The space
between Fort Ripley and Fort Johnson was
barred with a triple row of piles like those be
tween Fort Sumter and Cummings' Point, only
in the centre there was observed an opening, at
which it is said there ie a torpedo set, loaded
with the enormous charge of five thousand pounds
of gunpowder. And yet the capture of Charles
ton is by no means abandoned, only there must
be more powerful means used.
The Admiral heard the opinions of his various
officers, with which his own evidently coincided.
He did not, however, announce any decision ;
but to day he declared his intention of with
drawing from the attack for the present. The
injured iron chide have been sent to Port Royal.
The remainder will follow as soon as may be.
The Keokuk went down this morning about eight
(idol*, her crow having been first taken off by
the tug Dandelion and placed on board the Iron-
sides. The casualties on board the Keokuk
were: Killed, none; wounded. Captain Mind,
Acting - Ensign Alexander Mclntosh, Richard
Nicholson, Quartermaster, and ten seaman
slightly.
There were several wounded on hoard the Na
hant by a heavy rifled sbot striking the pilot
house and scattering some of the bolts. Among
them were Captain Downs ; the pilot, Isaac Sco
field, and Edward Gobb, of Massachusetts, the
Quartermaster. The latter died this morning.
These were all hit while in the pilothouse. John
McAllister, John Jackson and Rowland Martin,
seaman, were also wounded in the same manner
while in the turret.
MR LAND FORCE
Whether wisely or not, it seems to have been
taken for granted that a land force would not be
of much service in co-operating with the naval
attack. It was understood that the rebels bad
55,000 soldiers in Charleston; hut all our reli—
ance appears to have been placed upon the iron
clads. Nevertheless, a small force was landed
on Polly Island for the purpose of moving up on
Morris Island and occupying the batteries there,
if the iron clads should capture them. There
was no occasion for their services, and they will
be immediately re-embarked.

THE SIEGE OF WASHINGTON, N. C
Ueneral . Foster Relieved
Troops and Supplies Reach Him
The Rebels Still Investing Suffolk
We learn by a dispatch from Fortress Monroe,
dated Thursday, that Gen. Foster has been re
bared. The news lit:Adel, from Gen. Palmer
to Gen. Dix. The substance of the relief appears
to be this: A river steamer baring on board a
regiment of troops and supplies of provisions and
ammunition had succeeded in passing the Rebel
batteries on Tar River, and reached the wharf
at Washington on the 14th (Tuesdayl: The
public have been hourly expecting to hear of
Gen Foster's capture, since, according to the
Rebel aceennts, there seemed to be no reasonable
chance of escape. Until this time we have had
very little from our own side, and could- only
wonder why, if the Rebels had got Foster in so
tight a place, they did not f4piith him. His safety,
however, is now pretty certain, and with it will
cease mucli apprehension with regard to New
born, Suffolk, and the adjacent coast. The
same dispatch tells us that the enemy are still
investing Suffolk, but no event of importance bad
transpired
Special Message from the Governor.
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
ITARRIXBURG, April 15, 1863.
To the Senate and Home of Repremmtatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
GENTLEMEN: In taking leave of you at .the
close of the session, I think it proper, under ex
isting circumstances, to go beyond the usual
formalities.
The Farthing of my fellow-citizens placed me
in the office which I now hold at st period of great
pubic distraction, which soon culminated in
the breaking out of the rebellion which is still
raging.
The country bad so long slumbered in unbrok
en tranquillity, that we had in this State almost
forgotten the possibility of any violation of our
domestic peace. Even. our militia laws had
been suffered to fall into disuse; -and were re
duced to a merely permissive organization of a
few uniformed volunteer companies in various
parts of the State_ The whole mind of our peo
ple was directed to peaceful and industrial pur
suits; conscious of no intention to injure the
rights or interests of others or in any way to
violate the Constitution under which we had
thriven, they were unable to realize the designs
of wicked and abandoned men, even after they
had been publicly and boastingly proclaimed.
Although for many months war had been actually
levied against the United States in South Caro
lina and elsewhere, it is a fact that the people of
this Commonwealth were first startled into it
sense of the common danger bfeheiesteliardment
of Fort Sumter. The Legislature watt then in
session, and immediately made such pruyision as
was at the moment deemed necessary. But
shortly after its adjournment, events having rap
idly advanced, and the capital of the country
being in apparent danger, I deemed it necessary
to convene it again early in May, 1861, to adopt.
measures for placing the State on a footing ade
quate to the emergency. This was promptly and
cheerfully done. Five hundred thousand dollars
bad been appropriated at the regular session for
military purposes, and to that sum was then
added authority to borrow three millions of dol
lars. This loan, notwithstanding the depressed
condition of the finances of the country, and the
alarm and distrust then prevailing, was promptly
taken by our own citizens at par; and at the
suggestion of the Executive, laws were passed
for organizing our military forces, and especially
for immediately raising and, supporting, at the
expense of the State, a body of fifteen thousand
men, called the Reserve Corps, to be ready for
immediate service when required.
The Government of the United States had called
out 76,000 to serve for three months, of which
the quota of Pennsylvania wee immediately
furnished.
The Reserve Corps was raised, equipped, and
disciplined by the State, and contributed largely,
under Providence, in saving Washington after
the first disaster at Bull Run; and from that
Lime we continued to add regiment after regi
ment, as the service of the country required.
From the first moment to the present hour the
loyalty and indomitable spirit of the freemen of
Pennsylvania have been exhibited in every way
and upon every occasion. They have flocked to
the standard of their country in her hour of per
il, and have borne it victoriously on the battle
fields from Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky,
to the far South and South-West ; they have nev
er faltered for a moment. It has been my pride
to occupy a position which enabled me to become
familiar with all their patriotism and self:devo
tion, and to guide their efforts. Posterity will
do them full justice.
Every requisition of the General Government
has been promptly, fulfilled ; all legislation in
support of the cause has been enacted without
delay, and Pennsylvania is entitled to be named
first amongst the States that have been through
out unflinching in their determination to subdue
the sacrilegious wretches who are endeavoring
to destroy the last temple of liberty.
The State has not been insensible to the Rile
rffices which her sons have made. No effort has
been spared by her authorities to secure their
comfort and welfare. Under legislative provis
ions to that effect, her sick and wounded have
been followed and cared for, and, when practica
ble, brought home to be nursed by their friends,
and the bodies of the slain, when possible, have
been returned for burial in the soil of the State.
The contributions of her citizens, in supplies
of luxuries and comforts for all her volunteers,
have been almost boundless, and nothing has
been omitted that could encourage and stimulate
them in the performance of their hely duty.
They have felt, upon every march, and in every
clamp, however desolate their immediate sur
roundings, that the eyes and hearts of the loved
odes at home were upon and with them.
The result is, that Pennsylvania is actually in
a position on which it is my duty to congratulate
you as her representatives: Notwithstanding the
immense drain of her population, her induetry is
thriving at. home ; and, so far as it may not be
hurt by causes over which she has no control,
must- continue to prosper. Her finances were
never in a more healthy condition; her people
were never in better heart.
That the labors, anxieties, and responsibilities
of her Executive have been great anti harassing
I need not say. I have given to them my nights
and days, with, I trust, a single eye to the public
welfare. I claim no special merit in this ; I
would have been unworthy to be called a man
had I done otherwise. If lam proud of the re
sult, it is that I am proud of the people who have
effected it.
To be called a freeman of Pennsylvania ie
henceforih to have a title of honor wherever
loyalty, patriotism, and martial virtues are cher
ished. It. is to be observed, moreover, that the
labors which I have necessarily undergone have
already impaired my health.
I should have serious cause to apprehend that
a much longer continuance of them might so
break it down as to render me unable to fulfill
the duties of my position. It is to be added
that, as the approaching season will probably be
the most eventful period in the history of the
country, I will be able with more effect to dis—
charge my duties if I avoid being made the cen
tre of an active political struggle.
Under these circumstances it has pleased the
President of the United States to tender me a
high position at the expiration of my present
term of office, and I haat not felt myself at lib
erfy to do otherwise than accept this offer.
As I shall, for all these reasons, retire from
office at the close of my present term, I have
thought this a not inappropriate mode of an
nouncing that fact.
In taking leave of you I may be permitted to
say that as Governor of the Commonwealth, I
have given, as was my duty, and shall continue
to give : an fictive, en earnest support to the OOP-
ornment of the United Sluice, in ite efforts to
suppress the existing rebellion. Ae a private
citizen, I shall continue heartily to upheld the
President and his Administration, as the only
means by which that result can be attained, or,
m other words, the country min be Bayed.
I give this as my deliberate opinion, and shall
openly, candidly and zealously act in accordance
with it.
of :he warm hearted . friends to whom I owe so
much, and of the PeOple4af the Commonwealth,
who, regardless of party, have never tired of
'cheering my toils and anxieties by tokens of their
generous confidence and approval, I cannot speak
with composure. I can do no more than exposes
to them the deepest, truest, and moat heartfelt
gratitude.
IlOp"kg that yon may safely return to your
homes and families after your public labors, and
with the best wishes for your individual welfare
and happiness, I now bid •you farewell.
