One step, and then another,
And the longest walk is ended ;
One stitcb, and then  another,
And tbe largest rent is mended.
One brick upon  another,
And the highest wall ia made ;
One flake upon another.
And the deepest snow ia laid.
So the little coral-workers,
By their stow, but constant, motion
Have built, those pretty island
In the distant, dark blue ocean ;
Aud the noblest undertakings
Man's wisdom hath conceived,
By oft recreated eflorts,
Have Ken patiently achieved
Then do not look  disheartened
O'er the work you nave todo,
Ami say that snch a mighty task
You never cau get through ;
But just endeavor  day by day,
Another pbint to gain—
And soon the mountain which you fei
Will prove to he a plain.

English Portrait ol Rebel Generals.
The epecial correspondence ofthe Loudon Times
writing from Richmond gives the following pictures of Confederate Generals :
OESKIUL LEE.
Genera! Lee  is, I  believe, between  50 and CO
years of age, but wears his years well, and strikes
you aa the incarnation of health aud endurance, as
he rears his erect,  soldierlike   form from his  seat
by the fireside  to greet courteously the stranger.
Jlis manner is calm and stately,  his presence impressive  aod imposing,   bis dark   brown eyes re-
rinarkably direct and honest as they meet you fully
■and firmly^ and inspire   plenary   confidence.    The
•shape aud type of the head a little resemble Gari-
'baldi'e, but tne features are tbose of a handsomer
r*mau.   On the rare occasions wheu he smile3, aud
■ron the still rarer occasions wheu be laughs heartily, disclosing a fiue unbroken   row   ol   wbite, firm*
met teeth, the confidence aud sympathy which be
inspires areilrresistible.   A childgthrown among a
Ikuot of -strangers would   be iuevitably   drawn to
■Geu. .Lee.fire*; in tbe compauy, and would run to
claim his protection.     The voice is fine and deep,
hat slightly monotonous iu tone.    Altogether, the
most -winning attribute of the   Geneal is   his un-
iXffeci-ed   childlike guilelessuess.    It1 is   very rnry
that a man-ofihis age, conversant with  important
events, aud thrown to the surface of mighty convulsions retains the impress of a simple,
nature to so eminent a degree.    Ii is impossible
to converse with bim ten minutes without perceiving how deeply he boa meditated upou all the possible eventualities of  t.he camj::aigu   in Virginia,
and how sound and well-considered are tbe positions which he adv&joqee. It is obvious tbat the most
entire aud ronstir.'j-; ooofidencs is placed in General j
Lee by his subordinate officers,   whose respect and j
aflectiou he seems thoroughly to have   won.    Tbe I
General is still Gaoled in hia hands from the   effects of a fall which   be sustaiued so long ago as j
thc 30th of August.    At dawn of that day he rode
-■across tbe historical stream of Bull Run, aud observing a pach of herb age. he dismounted and allow-1
ed hie horse to graze, recollecting lhat the animal j
had carried ht&tthe whole  preceding day almost
without food.    Tbe General himself sat on a stump.
There were only a few cavalry pickets of Confederates between Gen. Lee and. the enemy.    Suddenly
a charge of a large body cf Yankee cavalry  drove
iu tbe confederate pickets.,   aud came close up to
where Geo. Lee .pas.    The General ran forward to
catch his horse,   aud   grasping at   tbe rein   as his
^orse sidled   ofi, he tell   heavily forward,  entangled in bis cloak, upon both bauds, and jarred the
nerves ot tbe right arm right up to the shoulder*
Hia horse was got by one of his staff, aud thc Yankee cavalry, not knowing what a valuable prize \.j'*l
was close at.hand, fell   back without approaching; highroad i
morejnearl'y.,    The^General   rode throughout  the]
\vbole-of -that eventful   day, the 30lh   of August, j     Sucked '
ibat for many   days and nights he suffered agonlx-  nosed to le
ing-pain:; aad even now, ou the 21st of November   -and send x

black servant saying that when   his master,  who I the mails
invariably prays morning and evening, rises also   PostofSce
in the middle of the night to pray, he  knows that
great and critical events are imminent.   A most undemonstrative, retieeut man, doubtless, iu all that
regards his vocation as a soldier.    There is   every
reason to think that when the  war  is over,  Geu
Jacksou will be the very first man to bury him-e If
in the deepest obscurity of private Hie.    Throughout this war it has been the practice of Gen, Jack-
eon to throw himself, disregarding  his owu   inferiority of numbers, upon large bodies of the enemy
aud the day is ordinarily half won by the sudden,
■ness and desperation of the attack.   His usual poi
icy is then to retire, upon which   the eon
ents of the Northern Journals,  who  upon
of General Jackson's   onslaught  have b
frightened out of their live«, announce   w
usual fanfarades a great Federal victory
and exultation are universal.    In a lew di

where it suits General Jackson to attack

As bra-
remarkable for his promptitude io thinking correctly when in tbe greatest danger, his value to the
Coiih-;deraey can hardly be over estimated. A review of some 10,000 of his men took place when
we were at Winchester. Among this body there
were no shoeless or barefooted sufferers. A finer
cr more spirited body has never buen assi'tobled on
the North American continent. In conclusion I
can safely say that, although I saw much suffering
great waut of shoes, frequently very inadequate
clothing among the men ot Gen. Le-^'a army, I wa8
astonisbfed to observe how confident was the spirit
prevailing among the entire body. No such army-
has ever yet been assembled to fight for the confederacy. Auy battle into which these men enter* is
balf won when tbe first shot IB fired. Again and
again they bave joined issue under most unfavorable circumstances with tbeir opponents, and have
gained victories. It is not likely that the tide wil|
be turned now that the Fe feral i are every day
fighting with less and less sppetite, aud now that
the experience of 19 months of wail has giveu such
confidence to tlie Oo;.f-.b-rates iu themselves and
in their co!n:r.ai:dh:g oili iers. that the d*iy of bat.
tie is surely and triumphantly looked on as necessarily the day of victory.

WisiirxoTox, April 12.—The steamer Flambeau
arrived witb dispatches from Admiral Dnpont- to
the Government. From other than official sources
it is aseertained that the vessels comprising the
fleet advanced upon Charleston in tho folii
orcer: Weehawken, Passaic, Montauk, Patapsco
]ronsides~lUe flag ship—with Admiral Dupent,
tiGtUtaff on board. Next followed the Catski/l.
A'augatuck, Menantauk.Valiant and the Keokuk-
In thiB order they proceded up the main channel
until when arriving within about 1,700 yards of
the main forts, the Ironsides became unmanageable
owing to the tide and the narrowness of the channel. She was therefore obliged to drop anchor to
prevent drifting ashore. Owing to these circumstances, it was signalled tbat the Ironsides could
not regulate her motions, and the remainder of ihe
squadron continued their course, and soon came
within easy range oftbe rebel forts.
From all poimaobHt-ructiouain tbe channel, from
Fort Sumter to Foct MouISrle, interfered with the
progress of our ships. In consequence of thisand
the position ofthe Ironsides (the space for maece
uvriug being only from 500 to 3,000 yards) the ves"
sela were obliged lo prepare at ouce to engage the
forts and arljaceut batteries. A signal bad Iikkh
made tor aetion at balf-past three o*clock in tbe
afternoon by the honsides, hat the rebels previous-'
ly opened fire on the leading vessels. Thecombat
is represented lo have been in the highest degree
exciting, presenting, a 'earful scene—fire bellowing
from all points of knd and water, Ihere being a
continuous roar of cannon. In the course of thirty
or forty minutes, the Keokuk being ina sinking
condition, was obliged to withdraw from the lire
and seek anchorage below the range of the enemy's
guns. A few minutes afterwards all tbe vessels
withdrew at a signal from the flag ship, it. being
deemed impracticable to continue further hostilities.
The Keokuk waa withiu 500 or GOO yards of Fort
Sumter, aud was completely riddled. Sho was
struck from all the batteries withiu range at least
90 times in 30 minutes. The shot was from rifled
cannot of the heaviest cnlibre. Capt. Rhind, her
commander, received a contusion on the leg and
was slightly lamed. Twelve meu were -wounded
together witb Acting Ensign Mcintosh, who had
charge of one gun. His injuries are supposed to he
fatal. Next morning, finding it impossible to save
the vessel, Capt. lihind calh-d a tug, which took
all hia men on board, and iu a few minutes thereafter the Keolnik. sunk. The persons belonging to
the ship lost all their private oifects.
On Wednesday the squadron remained at anchor
in the main ship channel. It is said that the num.
ber of men in our fleet is only about 1,100, with 30
gunp; while the enemy, it is reported, have at least
300 guns, the best in the world. The injuries to
our vessels excluding the Keokuk are represented
to be of such a character as will require but a short
time loivrepairs. The casualties among our men
are remarkbly few, including 1 killed and 3 wound"
edon the JVahant. None ofthe batteries fired upon
but vessels uutil they reached the viciuity of the
main forts.
Fortress Mowmh, April 12.—The steamer
Spaulding, from Morehead City, N. C. yesterday,
has arrived. No communication had been received at Newbern from Gen, Foster since Wednesday
nighf. The women and children were leaving
Newbern. Seven thousand troops attempted to
reach Washington, (N. C.,) from Newb-rn. Tlmy
were driveu back on Wednesday, eight miles, with
the loss of fifty meu. Last accounts from Gen-
Foster stats that the rebels had sent L'in three (lags
of'truoe for bim to surrender Washington. Foster's reply to the last was: '-Send no mare flags. If
Washington is wanted, come and take it."
IIkauquakters off Tut-; Army or the Potomac,
April 12.—A refugee who left Richmond on Tuesday, says that the bread riot in that city was witnessed by him. It caused tbe greatest consternation among the authorities. The women, heads
of families, and working classes were actually star- j
vin;'-, many having been  compelled to submit by
threats.    A  repetition  of the demonstration
feared, but every precaution  was being  taken to
avert its effect  upon the  troops,   who were  ver
clamorous in demanding that tbeir families ahould
be fed.
Reinforcements were being pushed to Fredericksburg, most of whom were conscripts and convalescents. Several divisions were encamped
ahout Richmond, one of which started off in great
baste at the time that Averill visited Culpepper
but returned again in a few days. Work was suspended on the forttficatioti-s of Richmond. Tiieir
impregnability w*is considered certain. Earthworks were being thrown up along the Rapidan.
The forces iu the Vicinity were ebb-fly cavalry.
Two iron-clad gunboats were nfioat on thc Jnmes
River on the 3d,    approaching completion.

hence to Nashville were captured atSotith Antioch

MewTokk, April 13.—The   Trtbans's  account
ofthe Charleston fight says: The squadron arrived
off Charleston on the morniug of the 5th, and spent
a day examining the bars in the channels, the wind
being too high to erose that W&tfBg.    The Admiral's plan was to sail   directly up  and attack   the
northwest face of Fort Sumter at irom* COO to 800
yards. At 8 o'clock on Monday morning the signal
was givsu to advance bnt in  consequence ofa fog,
they were obliged to postpone tho intended attack
until the uext dey.    Daring tbe afternoon,   one of
Gen. Fnrres' brigades worked ils way to Folly Island and established communication with the fleet'
but no portion of the land forces   got  into the attack.    On the 7th, at 4:15 P. M., fleet ff&t   under
way, passed Morris' Island batteries,   without being filed upon, pushing right toward Foit Sumter.
The Ironsides worked badly, aod in consequence
of the current was obliged to   anchor two or three
times.    Fort Moultrie opened first outhe Wehauk-
e-.n, whieh was ihen witiiinSOO yards ol OateauHgB-'
Point.    The battery of Sumter,   ami battery  after
battery, immediately followed, and the action  became   general and    terrific.     The   Monitors   still I
pushed on, replying vigorously.    They passed tlie j
northeast face of Fott Snrater, wheu   they discovered tbat   there were three lines of obstruction:
holding torpedoes, one of which exploded, hut did
no great damage.   Finding it impossible   to pass
the obstructions, they turned  the steamers down
the harbor.    Tbe Patapsco's 200-paunder became
disabled.    The Passaic's   turret was so   bent that
the vessel was practically out of use.    The  other
boats continued their course to tho  northeast  face
of Fort Sumter, put were also stopped by obstructions, and turned back, after being  uuder fire   for
three-quarters of au hour,    All the Monitors were
ordered back, and at 5 o'clock, the entire fleet was
out of range, and the action ceased.
Admiral Dupont intended   to renew tho attack
. Ih:
s par-
ally (
olu
he was sustained by ail the commanders.
There were 11 large holes inside Fort Sumter,
apparently running through the walls. Our entire firing only amounted to 150 ruuoda. When
the correspondent left, two .Monitors had sailed
tor Port Royal, and others were to tollow.
The Time's account says that our ships were
exposed toa concentric fire trom four differept
points, unparalled in tbe history of warfare, par
ing the ftgbt  aot less than 3.5U0 shots   were thed
by   the   enemy, 1(30   bei

troops were rapidly gaining lhe rear of the city
of Charleitou.

uoissance of Charleston, Bhoyra thus utter inefficiency of lhe iron-chul fleet to take  Charleston alone.
LouisvnxK, April 13.—The rebels captured with
the train at Antioch, ou Friday, a large amount
of money bwlougiug to the Government. Thev
robbed passengers ofall they had. The same party-
went to the Cumberland river, and fired into a
freight train for this city, destroying the engine,
a cannon ball having gone  through the boiler.
Nkw York, April 13.—It appears that in the reconnoisance of Charleston harbor by lhe ironclads, lhe Nahaut received thirty wounds, several
being bad fractures. The Paeaaifl was also wound.
ed in her turret and pilot house. The Nantucket's
turret ia eo jarred that it could not be used, rendering her lo-inch gnu useless. N;piio of the

worked precisely as expected and ns change iu tho
plans of the vessels will be necessary. There is
