Ia the West ladies thoy produced hopeless ruin, aud failed to dcvelope tho resources of the East as they had expoct- cd. But that was douo in tho sacred name of liberty,-and John Bull lauded himself for his sin. In the East they starved thousands, and many thousands to death; but there tho na fives were so wicked that the heavy hand of the government could not justly be called op pression, and John Bull lo6t little or none of his self flattery. In our own country’ this policy would produce such scenes of ruin and desolation as this polluted earth has never witnessed before. Not a stream or a brook in the.Confederate States would flow untinged by human blood. But England, like the bad wo man in tho Proverbs, would wipe her mouth and say / have done nothing; 1 have always “interfered in behalf of human freedom.” Earl Russel, as Hume says of Elizabeth, is “an excellent hypocrite.” Some years ago ho became a zealous religionist, and wrote long articles, aud made speeches, and promoted tho passage of an act to prevent Cardinal Wiseman and others from acting as popish clergymen in England. Two or three months afterward he waa sunt on 60me mission to-Vienna, and there,, in the popish churches, in the presence of God and man, lie performed all the genuflexions, crossing, Ac., prescribed by the ritual, as de voutly as any papist. Even tbe wicked were disgusted, but his lordship returned to Eng land looking as dignified and as saintly as over.

From tho Penin sula, while we have no information as to re cent movements or relative positions, wo learn that General Wise has .fallen back a distance of some six or seven milos from the position occupied by him immediately previous.. On the other side of the rivef, in the region of Suffolk, matters are still kept sub rota. A gentleman from the vicinity of Suffolk, who reached the city last evening, reports that an engagement was in progress on Sunday, the character and extent of which lie deemed im portant. Nothing regarding it has reached us through the usual channels of intelligence. Richmond Examiner, 21. WASHINGTON, N. O., AND SUFFOLK VIRGINIA. Our latest reliable information from these places up to Sunday morning, 19th reaches us through the Wilmington Journal. In is issue of Friday last, the Journal says: Hill and Longstreet are still in statu quo ii- vciting Washington and Suffolk ; the Yankees arc concentrating a force at Newbern, eifier to attempt (o redavo' Washington by an at tack on Hill’s investing force, or by an a d vanco upon Goldsboro find the railroad. r .’i je Yankee- 1 , recently very weak, both at Norlolk and Suffolk, will probably be reinforced from Fortress Monroe.

Over tho parapets of Forts Sumter and Moultrie tho rebel defenders wero watching our movements and signalizing them; and even on tho rools'and steeples of the distant city we could see hundreds of spectators. Distinctly in view vrere the numerous -batteries, extend ing from tbo Wappo creek, on the Ashley river following the contour of James Island, down to tlio 1-ghthouse battery, on the South point of Morris’ Island. On the other side they wore more numerous still. Breach Inlet Battery on the lower end of Sullivan’s Island; F’ort Beauregard, and up to Fort Moultrie, whilo in the centre of the picturo, rising as it were from the w «r, stood Fort Sumter, displaying the rebel :l»g on one angle, and tho Palmetto dig on tho opposite angle; and beyond F’ort Rip- lay and Castlo Pinckney, the city filling up tho background.- ^ -~ M( anwhile the attacking vessels lay at an chor in the main ship channel, within a mile of the bittcrics on Morris Island, without pro voking a hostile shot.

Grappling irons attiobed to the Woehawken got afoul of her anchor cable, and it takes nearly an hour to set matters right. At last tho difiiculy is got over, and once more tho vossels are underway. Slowly they movo up the ship channel. They pcss in easy range of Fort Wagner, on Morris Island, but not a shot disputes their progress; they pass tho battery at Cumming’s Point— named, I believe. Battery Bee—but still not a d.ccharge from a rebel gun. And it is not till the vessels have got fairly between the two upper points of Morris Island and Sullivan’s Lland, which are about a mile apait—and are rounding to make the entrance of the harbor, hat the ominous stillness ia broken.

The weak side so that tho rebels fired over twenty shots to our one. The Keokuk only fired three shots before she received her death wound. ■The Captains of tho Iron elads met in the even ing on board thb flag-ship, and I understand that there was but one opinion among them as to the question of abandoning or renewing the conflict, and that was against renewing it at present. Be sides the impedimenta which had to be contended with yesterday, similar obstructions could he seen higher up.the harbor. The space between Fort Ripley and Fort Johnson was barred with a triple row of piles like those between Fort Samter and Cumming’s Point, only in tho centre there was observed an opening at which it is said there is a torpedo set, loaded with the enormous charge of five thousand pounds of gunpowder. And yet the capture of Charleston is by no msans abandoned, only there must be more powerful means used. The Admiral heard tho opinicn of his various officers, wiLh which his own evidently coincided. He did not, however, announco any decision; but to-day he declared his attention of withdrawing from the attack for the present. The injured iron clads have been sent to Port Royal. The remain der will follow as soon as may be.
