A Battle Expected near Suffolk—General Wise Ordered to take Fort Magruder— Simultaneous Attacks to be Made. Fortress Monroe, April 15.—Maj. General Dix returned to his department last evening, much to the gratification of officers managing the affairs here during his temporary absence. The General lett for Sutfolk this morning at 10 o'clock, The enemy (in force) are in close proximity to our lines at Suffolk, but no general engage- meéptis Auticipated unless the attack is made by the Unicn forces, which is more than pro- bable. In regard to affairs at Williamsburg the Cavalier of to-day says Governor Wise has coramenced entrenching the other side of Wil- liamsbury. He has orders to take Fort Magra- der at all hazard=, and as he is afraid to make an assault, he has resorted to digging. Onr troops are in tine spirits. Rebel p: here was to have heen a sim upon Washington, North Carolina , Virginit, Gloucester Point. ana Will burg, or Port Magruder. The attack on Glou- cester Point was to haye been made by Gener- al Fitzhugh Lee. Those plans haye probab been somewhat interfered with by the recon- noisance of the Fourth Delaware regiment and the Union guohoats up the York river. The Richmeud Sentinel, of April 1th, has the following from the Charleston Mercury: “The government powder works, at Augusta, Georgia, when completed will be the largest in the world. Th re now superior to any known, and the powder is fully equal to the best Yankee or European standard.” The French tr » Genr arrived here last evening, and fired a salute this morning, which was replied to trom the water battery at Fortress Monroe.

Mr. C. ©. Fulton, of the Baltimore Americans turnishes that paper with a detailed acconnt of the operations before Charleston. He re- gards the fight as haying been a mere recon- noissance, by which imuch yaluable intorma- tion was gained, and that there were good reasons for continuing, rather than abandoning very nearly invulnerable to the shot of the enemy, and were all put in good fighting con- dition in less than twenty-four hours after the conflict. He criticises the management of the attack with much sharpness, and sums up in conclusion as folloy “TI have taken some pains to ascertain the grounds given by the Admiral and his advisers tor whit still seems to nine-ienths of the offi- cers and men of the fleet, and to the spectators to have been a farcical assault and a disgrace- ful abandonment of the vurpose of the Govern- ment to reduce this rebellious city. On the evenig after the attack a council of war was held, attended by all the Captains of the iron-clads. They reported to the Admiral that the Keokuk was totally disabled and ina sinking condition—that the Nanant’s pilot- house was injured,and three men badly wound- ed by the flying bolts. This was the only vessel that bad no lining to the pilot-honse, and although a tew bolts were started in some of the others the linings fully protected those inside. The turning of the Nahant’s turret had also been partially obstructed by the concussion of the blows she had received. The Patapsvo also reported that a shell had got wedged in its rifle gun, which could not at once be removed. The Nantucket had some damage to the muzzl box of one of its guns. The Catskill, 1 think, also had-ome diffienlty with one of her gun carriages, and the porthole slide of the Passaic was reported bent and immoyable, Thus, four ot the vessels were reported as temporarily injured, whilst the Keokak was totally disa- bled, and sunk at her anchorage next morning. The workmen and supervisors of the Mon- tors were sent for, and haying examined the jour damaged v ls reported that they could have them allin good working order at noon next day. The Keokuk was of course of no turther accoun’. at their council of war, advised the abandon- ment of the attempt to reduce Samter or take Charleston, regarding it as a hopeless task. From the reserved manner of most of the Captains sce the abandonment of the siege I am inclined to doubt this, though it is under. stood that Captains Drayton and Worden botin strongly opposed a renewal of the fight Both of these officers had, however, from the first been free in the expression of their predictions of failure—they looked for and anticipated that we would fi d Sumter impregnable and the harbor of Charieston obstructed beyond our ability to enter. Be this as it may, however, early on the eve- ning of Tuesday, the Admiral, previous to hearing these reports, declured his intention of Tenewing the assault on Wednesday, declaring his purpose to the lead the way with the Iron- sides, which he considered an impregnable vessel. Atthe closeof the councilof war he made no decision, and as far as I can learn, he slept on the determination only to reverse it on awaking on Wednesday morning. The work of putting the vessels in order for battle progressed rapidly on Wednesday morning and at 1 o’clock the workmen hadall left the vessels, reporting every difficulty as to the working of turrets, guns, &c., to be fully remedied. I visited several of the vessels about this time, and found them preparing for the signal to advance, expecting to move forward to renew the assault about half past one o'clock. No signal waa given, however. and —There has been more | i condemnatiol AFFAIR AT | | pends on the . se a La..

It is now asserted by those who are in the confidence of the Admiral that, after duly weighing the reports of the commanders, and taking into consideration the fact that mos: of the vessels injured reported that they were purtially disabled by the time they were under fire forty minutes, he determined of biz own volition not to reréw the assault. The danger | of any of the vessela becoming disabled and tulling into the hands of the enemy, also had gieat weight with him, as well as the opinion ot scme of the commanders that there was a gieat probability that in undergoing another fire of similar tury and force, some of our ves- ould be unable to return to their an- As ax I can ascertain, the subjectof forcing ‘hrough the obstructions and making a dash on the city, leaving the great fortifications behind them, was not entertained. What was the character of the invisible obstructions is only known by stxtements and intimations of block- ade runners and other parties who had an interest in deceiving us. They had represented torpedoes nanufactured out of steam-boilers, wenty fer long, filled with powder, acres and tons of fis’ nets, and all manner and yariery of sievilish © atriyances, which were to blow our iron-clads cut of water—sharp-pointed stakes which we e¢ to pierce their hulls, and a rain of bomb-shei # to crush theirdecks. Indeed, there is no doubt that the authorities of Charleston relied as much or the fear of obstructions as they did on the obstructions themselyes, and | the imaginary torpedoes haye done their work most effectually. Another cance of the want of success in this movement has been the antipathy evisting among the high functionaries of the navy to Ericsson and his Monitors. They look upon these ve as destined, if suceessful, to do away with quarter-deck grandeur and the dig- nity of high rank. They were opposed to gain- ing Victories through engineering skill and by Yankee inventions. Ericsson and his Monitors ure spoken 0: urses tothe navy, and not- the impregnabili and soc almost depended npon th not very pleasant places they are | either tor officers or men, but a yast deal de- the sup- Ting to rom for= pression of the rebellion, and the sec ; eign government at this critical period in our history.

The first objection was that a vessel would not steer with such an appendage. After ther had been here for a month a trial was to the steering qualities of a Monitor * of therm, and this objection? fell through, the vessel obeying the rudder in a heavy sea way as well with it as withpat it. This being settled, a proposition to drive some piles in Port Royal harbor to test the torpedo was talked about, but nothing more done with it. When the fleet approached Fort Sumter one of these apparatuses, | reithont a torpedo, Was attached to the Weehaw- riion of the walls de- | | by rebel phantoms ken, and@ umber ef grapnels suspended from it, The Weehawken took it up past Sumter, and layed fortwo hours alongside ot the ob- structious.

After the attack on Sumtera proposition was Ge to use it to destroy the Keokuk. Several Ss were consumed in talking about and as- ng to il, but it was finally abandoned, an aitand torpedo ordered back to Fort esstul use in destroying the ild have been an unanswerable of the failure to use it inst the rebels y were all, however, atraid of it although it was as harmless in hand- ling as a loaded gun without a lock, and every danger guarded against. 1! was condemned without examination, not a man in the squadron, from the Ad:miral down, having scurcely deigned to look at it, the dis- hike of Ericsson and his naval innovations proving too creat to be overcome, even in such ua dreadtul tmergency as that soon to be en- countered.

Ar night the ladies cut the hair about four mches long, then curl it close to the head. In the morning these curls are all combed throngh in & mess, 80 that they stand out, frizzly. “I have seen," Says a correspondent from the city, «many a dark-skinned woman try as harc to get the kinks out of her hair, as our fair ladies try to get them in.” #7 Hon. (“extra Billy”) William Smith, fo: merly Governor of Virginia, and a noted W.0. since the war commenced has lost his eldest son killed in battle, has lost one ef his own arms in battle, Xnother son has lost an arm, and he himself is now lying dangerously ill from wounds received at Fredericksburg. As one of the leaders 1m the rebellion, he seems to have acquired far more than his share of glory. #2 The debt of the Confederate Government is eight hundred millions of dollars, and the arleston Mercury esigmates the yearly cur- rent expenses of the Government in the fature at eighty-four millions, or about seyen thous- and dollars a year to each man, women and child, white and black, in the twelve millions ot population, eight or nine timesas much as any tax evel levied in South Carolina. a7 It is stated that $10,000 in gold was sent from the secret service tamd of the War De- partment at Washington to Gov. Morton,of In- diana, to enable him to carry on the State gov- ernment, for which the State Legislature failed to appropriate funds, owing to factious feuds amongst the members. 7” A correspondent of the Nashville Union, who has heen within the Rebel lines, writes: ++Morgan's full loss at the battle of Milton has never been published. He had twenty-six commissioned officers killed and wounded. His whole loss was not less than five hundred officers and men killed and wounded. i New Orlesns papers state that a rebel jeedey who lately came into the Federal camp at Brasher City, had $6,000 in gold with him,;which he said be took from @ lot of #200,- 000 secreted in the ground.
