The Attack om the lremsides. Banrmons, Oct. 14, 1863, ‘The correspondent of the American writes from Cbarles- ton Barhor as follows:— Cuantaston Hannon, Oct. 10, 1863. On Monday night last a daring but unsucessstul attempt was made by the rebels to destroy the frigate New Iron- sides, lying near Fort Moultrie, by a torpedo, They em- ployed for this purpose @ small and very swift steamer, Segar shaped, and showing but # very small portion ARRIVAL OF THE ARAGO. Two Abortive Attempts to De- stroy the New Ironsides. Mie above tho water, She was manned by screw of four SEL " perk gy sk rg pat gtd the HULL OF fireman named Scott, and a pilot whooe name is ‘unknown nae at the present writing. ‘This steamer eluded’ the picket boats of our fleet by passing clone in to the shore of Suilivan’s Island, She then made directly across the harbor, and came up to the Ironsides without attracting any attention, Bho struck the vessel fairly amidships, exploding a torpedo containing sixty pounds of rifle powder at the moment Of contact. The rebel steamer was undoubtedly sunk, eitber by the force of the collision or by our shot. Lieutenant Gagsett jumped overboard and swam to a sehooner. He and the fireman, Scott, are now prisoners on board the guardship. Lieutevant Gassett was formerly in our navy. He says ‘that the explosion of the torpedo drove the steamer ‘under, #0 that the water ran into her smokestack and put out her fires. The torpedo was suspended to the bows of the rebel vessel, 30 as to strike tho Irensides ander the water. The explosion was severely “felt on the Ironsides; but no material damage was dove to her hull, cngine or armament, One man had bis leg broken, and one of the bulkheads of the vessel was knocked down—an injury which can be repaired here, ‘The Ironsides was immediately prepared for action by Captain Rowan, and is now as offective for offensive opera- tions as ever. She is now regarded hore as torpedo proof. ‘She opened fire with musketry on the rebel vessel, and in a few minutes fired two of ber larger guns. A musket shot, fired from the rebel steamer, dangerously wounded Ensign Charles Howard, of tho Ironeldes, who was of the deck at the time. The bottom of the Ironsides has becu examined by divers and found to be wholly un- injured. ‘The sebel engineer Toombs, formerty of our navy, and the pilot of the rebel steamer, are supposed to have been drowned. On Tuesday night % was supposed that the rebels medi- tated @ second attack on the Ivonsides, A boat of the same kind, believed to have beon a small steamer, ap- proached our picket line, but was diecovered, and driven off after some firing. ‘The rebels greatly dread the Tronsides, and it is said that the people of Charleston have offered reward of sixty thousand dollars in gold for bes destruction. a brief visit to Port Royal, While there, General Gill- more visited the flagship with a band, and serenaded the Admiral.

I am happy to know that such ‘@ report was not correct, and that the boldly conceived Plans of the enemy resulied only in disaster to them- solves. It wason the night of Monday, the 6th inst., ‘that a little cegar shaped craft was descried approaching he Now Ironsides. She was towed down to the vicinity ot our picket boats by ® steamer, and there cast off, and ‘while ber consort was mana.vring about the harbor, and by her movements attracting the uttention of the pickets, the veaturesome litt craft made her way with- out discovery to within a few hundred fcot of the frigate, As n0en ag the stranger was mado out she was hailed and ebaltenged by Ensign Howard, the officer of the deck. The only,reply received was » volley of musketry. Instantly all hands were piped 1o quarters, and the. ‘ines, the eurhest on hand} answered with their riff to the ‘valley of af, They seemed 10 produce no of fect pin the coming craft, which, dasbiog on with alt the epeed it could make, #oon struck the frigate on the Starboard side. Instantly a terrific explosion followed. ‘Vhe Ironsides trembled from stom to stern.. Vast columns of water were thrown up, and, descending, extinguished the fires of the venturesome steamer. By the fearful shock some sailors lying on the gun deck of the Irofisides wore thrown with violence up to the under surface of the par deck, and oue of them had his leg broken by the ‘fall News via Fortress Momroe.

All her men were saved. ‘The Puh-Kee brings the report that the rebels attempted to destroy the Ironsides on the night of the 5th, by ap- proaching her in a small steamer and exploding a torpedo amidships. The concussion was tremendous. It knocked down the ‘bulwark and injured one man. The bull of the Jronsides js uninjured, She is considered torpedo proof. The ene- my’s steamer was badly injured.

Pagsengers from the front to-day report that yesterday there was beavy skirmmbing to the right, while in the centre and op the left there was ouly occasional picket firing, by which one man was killed, It ia represented that Gregg’s division of cavalry, which had severety contested the Sighs at White Balphur Springs on Monday with a large rebel cavalry force, sup- ported by infantry and artillery, was obliged to fall back ‘ta consequence of not being supported properly by infan- try, and lost # number of men, among whom were fifty of the First New Jersey cavalry. ‘Major Cole, in a report to General Lockwood, who com- mands the defences of Maryland Heights, says:—Mosby's command bas been greatly underrated, for 1am credibly Joformed by prisoners, citizens and contrabands that hfe force consists of & battalion of three hundred men. Monby is one of Stuart's staff officem, and has been de- tached for the expreas purpose of destroying communica. Mons between the Army of the Potomac and Washington.

Among them tnem are Major Young, Licutenant Martin, aid to General Grogg; Major Wilson and Lieutenant F. A. waker, Adjutant of the Eighth Pennsylvania cavalry. Newspaper Accounts. [From the Washington Star, Oct. 13.) Parties who have arrived from tho front to-day say that there was considerable skirmishing yesterday bo- tween the cavalry on eM@her side, and that smart musketry firing was beard yesterday afternooa in the Vicinity of Rappahannock Station. Meade has succeeded in placing himself in the ‘ostred position to defy any attempt at a flank movement by Lee; and the precision with which this has been effected tolle ‘well both for (he eommander and the army. It ts evident that Meade docs not intend to permit the enemy to play any of the surprises upon him that havo ‘deen practiced upon Pope and others thereabouts. ‘The crossing by Moade to the north side of the Rappa- Dannock was made mainly at Kelly’s Ford, and it was effecte:t in admirable order. AB some seem to suppose, secesh expecially, that ‘Meade!s change of position has been the result of « serious confict, it is proper to state that the fighting thus far has Deen purely (on our side, at least) by cavalry and artil- lery supports of cavalry, the main artay not having been engaged at all.
