We hy.ve roaohed tho close of tho socond of the war, and muy point with just pride history of our young Confederacy. Alono, i cd, w?i have mej, and overthrown the mot p ful combination of military and naval arma that the lust of conquost over gathered to; for tho-subjugation of a free.people. We this struggle without a single gun afloat, the re tourers (four enemy enabled them to or fleets, whio?, according to their ofiiola published.]n August last, consisted of 427 sets, measuring 3-10,030 tons, and carrying guns. Y ot we have captured, sunk or dost a nun.ber of those vessels, including two fr'gafcw and one steam Bloop-qf-war, while fe their captured steam gunboats are now i possession, adding to the strength of our litti vy, which is rapidly gaining in numbers effibiency. ' To oppose invading forces, :our of lev es which have already, exceeded t hi hundred thousand men,.we. bad no resource the unconquerable valor of a peopl? dc turn to be '."ree ; and we were so destitute of mil supplies that tons* of thousands of our oit wero ."elnctantly refused admission into tho rice from oar inability to pmvido thom arms, wi.'de for many months some of or r in tant strongholds owed their safety chiefly careful concealment of the fact wo were wil a supply of power for our cannon. -Your dev and putrictism hare triumphed over all : obstacle?, and called into ex ir tonco the munii of war, the clothing, and the subsistence, w have enabled our soldiers to illostrato their ' un numerous battle-fields, and infliot crushing feats ou successive armies, euch of VThi.-h ai rogani: foo fondly imagined to be Invincible Thc contrast between oqr past and present ditton is well calculated to inspire full confia tn the triumph of our arms. At nu pr JV iou ried oT the war have our foroes been to nu ous, so woll organized and so thoroughly dis; ed, armed and equipped, as at present. The son ol' high water, on which our enemies r, to enabled their fleets of gun-boats to pend into our country und devastate our bornes, is pansie g away.

As an Ironclad, she was a failure, lyebt-1 balla seemed to pene trate her as easily aa a wooden vessel. JJ ar it;g thirty minutes one hundred shots struck her, ninety of wb|oh wepo water line shots sho waa perfectly riddled, and sunk r.ez morning. She had thirteen seriously wound ed, "two mortally. The Ironsides was no: seriously damaged. Tbt rebels mistook a scow which brokt ouse for a " d^vil." The Yankee a sum np the result* of the .-.t tack thus : " We have entered Cbarlestor harbor, made a successful reconnoissance, en gaged the rebel furtt three hours, damager Sumter pretty seriuusly, lost one vesbel, anc bad a crowning proof of the invulnerability of the Monitor hW. Arrangements wen bcictj made to blow up the Keokuk. It ?1 reported that furthpr action for the presen has b'.-en suspended." Late Northern New?. Ricituoxn, April IS.
