" New-York, Feb. 18. A Times special
Jays, a gentleman from Charleston, who
escaped the rebel lines, states that a large
number of troops have . been collected
there to defend the city. The citizens
generally had left in anticipation of' an
attack from the national troops. Means
of defence are very Xormidable. He
thinks the city cannot be captured with
out a;severe struggle ; A mutiny recent
ly took place, in which several North
Carolina regiments were engaged. The
City is strongly fenified on all sides but e stream and. will ascend Red. River,
i killed and 30 wounded: They have also
captured Jalappa. The b rencfa nave
established themselves at Perote and
Queehalac. In the latter place are. two
thousand sick. . , .

stated, in Washington.: that the attack
on Charleston and Savannah is to take

mac Feb.' I9.r-The Richmond Enqui
rer of yesterday- has- a telegram - dated
Charleston the ISth, with a Prochmat
ion from .'Beauregard .to the people of
Charleston and Savannah. He says the
movements of the enemy's ,fleSt3 indicate
an early attack "oh" cria" or both,, cities,
t He tells those unable to take an active
part in the coming struggle - to retire,
and calls on all able ' bodied rSen,.from
the seaboard and mountaines to rally
with arms, pikes, spades "and shovels for
the protection of their firesides andalars.
Final preparations for the expected at-1
tack are being rapidly prosecuted. The
troops and people are confident. The
Enquirer's leader says, there have been
no intention to meditate at all on the
part of France. ; The' South want no
French meditation while hostilities go on
..The Richmond Dispatch says, the
north is fighting as much for self preser
vation as southern subjugation. That
the time has passed when the National
Government tought to extinguish the
South, and the farther prosecutien of the
war is to save the North from an aval
anch of ruin which the'success of the
South must participate. Another article
denounces John Van Buren for turning
political sogert, (a new word coined by the
Telegraphand repudiates all ideas of
meditating reorganization and intervent
ion as tendiug to a relaxation of the ef
forts for filling up 'the army. It says,
the present is the most critical period of
the war. ' '

. The deceased, was a resident of Paru
Nebraska, at the time of his enlistment
in the army, in 1802. - He had at that
iime;thred sons in the service, and a fani
ily dependent on him for support. Being
jp'as'C the prune or life, it was not expect

Washington dispatch taysit is understood
as soon -'as1 the Conscription1 Bill' shall
have passed the. House, , there will be a
call made for six or eight hundred thous
and troops.. It is expected that the soldiers-
whose term of service-is about ex
piring,, will offer , themselves as substi
tutes for unwilling conscrips. The Times
says,' we have private advices confirming,
to some .extent.the rumors of trouble in
Gen. Banks command,' growing out of
tne introduction of negro troops, borne
of the ofacers of the 133d New York
Volunteer resigned. The President has
selected twenty Majors, .and fifty Briga
dier Generals out of two hundred Briga
diers and'1 nintey . Majei Generals.-, re
turned to him : l- ; .. ' '
; By the Senate resolution, it seems -to
be well understood, as a result of the
passage of the Bank' Bill that three hun
dred- millions jof. the legal tender clause
will be retained m the Ways and Means
Bill, tre, Senate. yielding its ground thro
its own committee of conferrence.

f rurrtors of an advance of ihe. Yankees up
on Middle- .lennessee. Cnnonadin? was

A letter from before Vicksburg the 11th
jays, there are many indications to-day o
a forward .movement, which seems bow-
ever, te be indejendent of the army.
perhaps Haine BluiT.batieries -'are -to be
attacked, , thus, rendering-it possible for
our 'vessels.durihg' the present high stage
of .'water in tho.Ya?bo river, to ascend that
stream and: destroy-a -large number of
rebel vessels laying there. '. .
' ; Wasiiihgtoh, Feb. 19. Admiral Por
ter communicates the following '. to the
Secretary of the Navy, dated Feb. ' 8th:
I am happy to inform you that the stea
mer Vicksburg was badly damaged' by
the Queen of the West that she has to
be kept afloat by large Coal barges fast-
tned to' her sides. ' Her machinery has
been taken out, and she will likely be de
stroyed. This is 'the fifth steamer of
which we have deprived the rebels. The
Vicksburg was the largest and strongest
steamer on the river, and I think they
were., preparing to use her against our
transports', she being very fleet. Her
guards and wheels were smashed in, and
a;large hole knocked in her side. So
deserters report.- , :""' ' '.".' .''":.
