The Expected Attack on Charleston The Charleston correspondent of the l?o bile Advertiser d' Register, in alluding to ttn c .instant threats of the.Yankees in regard ic thc attack upon this place, aayr : The straggle, when it comes, will certain ly be of a tearful character. It will bethe atiock of tremendous f .rees, the relative pow e's of which ate yet mitt ?ed. The long moot ed question of the fighting v>;l..e of ship? against lotteries will l*c brought to a t?st ir ore-oa :lcu.ive than a.ny to which human w arfare has yet subjected it In other words, in. Monitor iron-duds, wb eh the Yankees ?flaira to be the most impenetrable Vessels < ver constructed, will necessarily come with in point .blank range of ihe ir.ost numerous and powerful batteries that have ever yet been r.s;d ia a single engi'gemen'. We have good raison, too, to beli? ve that our guns will be managed with admirable tact and precision. The more impnr;ant batteries are manned by the Sou Lb C. r dina regulars, for whom the credit is claimed, and I think justly, ot being the most expert and practiced heavy artdle rnts in the Confederate army. The torts are well officered, and General Ripley, who has jntde the study of heavy ordnance a ?j>oci?I :y for yoars, aud whose excellency in h it particular branch of military knowlodge is an admitted fsct, will, 1 hear, make bis bead quarters at Fort Sumter as soon as the enomy makes his *ppearanC3. lt is scarcely possible tint any fl-uting thing can breast unbanned the concentrated storm ol heavy metal from the guns of .Sum ter, Moultrie and Battery Bee, the three prin cipal woiks commanding the throat ot the harbor. Xor can the peril of running this terrible gauntlet be diminished byan attempt lo pas? under cover of the darkness, as has been tbe'caae at Vicksburg aud New Orleans. S > tortuous and intricate is the channel lead in? Ut the forts that the most experienced pi i lotd of thc harbor would not venture to bring in a vessel by night, under thc conditions which the enemy cannot escape, viz : with out a light or landmark to guide the way. Lven when the blockade -running vessels leave the harbor, it is always necessary to aid ;t;eir exit by previously arranged lights (sha <i -d ) and signals ; so that it is reasonably cen ,?iu mat the attacking irou-clads must either enter iu open day, or incur the imminent haz ?ni of getting aground up<>n one of the most t e icherous bans on lb? Southern coast, which se.ldom vields a vessel once it liss grasped the I keel. But if, pe chance, despite of mazv channel, maltipliedtorpedo.es, and the cotu Jnutd batteries of the forts, som'j of the nine I Monitors sbculd ca?uc? tog,-t in^o port, tbey .would btiil have to encounter a ooncontrated fire from other batteries, which, as the Yan kee papers have learned from contraban ls, line the shores of the inUrior of the harbor."
