Coming Struggle at Charleston. Tho following interesting extracts from a Charleston correspondent of tho Mobile Register, will give some idea of the dilHeulties tho Yankee will havo to encounter, if they ever attack Char leston : "Tho struggle, when it come.-;, will certainly be of a fearful character. It will bo i'.ie shock of tremeud us forces, therelativ powers of which are yet iiutrie.il. The long-mooted m.-sLion of the fighting value of ships against hat torics will lo brought to a test more conclusive than any t wnich human warfare has c0t subjected it,, l'n other words, tho Monitor iron clals, which the Yankees claim to he the in sl im penetrable vessels evereoiitniei a I wili necessarily come within pci.it blank nnge ol'l.iie most, numerous and power fill batteries that have ever yet been used in a single engagement.

It is scarcely possible tli.it any float ing tiling can breast uuhanned the con centrated storm cf heavy metal from the guns of Sumter, .Moultrie and but tery Boo, the three principal works commanding the throat of the harbor Nor can the pc:i! of running tlii.s terrible gauntlet be diminished by an attempt to pas under cover of the darkness as has been the case at Vicks burg and Mew Orleans. So tortuous and intricate is the channel leading to the Forts that tho most experienced pi lots ot the harbor would not venture to bring in a vessel by night, under the conditions which the enemy can not escape, viz: without it light or landmark to guide the way. Even when the blockade-running vessels leave tho harbor, it is always necessary to aid their exit by previously arranged lights (shaded) ami signals; so that it reasonably certain that tho attack ing iron-clads must cither en ter in open day, or incur the ointninent hazard of g<iug aground upon one of the most treacherous b;rson the Southern coast, which seldom yields a vessel once it "28 grasped -the. keel. Jitit if, per fiance, despite of mazy channel, mul tiplied torpedoes, and the combined batteries of tho Forts, somo ot the nine Monitors should chanco to get into port, they would still havo to encouuter a concentrated firo of other batteries, wh-ich, as the Yankee- papers have learned from contrabands, "line the chores of tho interior of the harbor." And then will como tho "tug of war" hich will determine tho possession of lo honored old city. The captured can boat Isaac 1 Smith, P'Ow called tho Utono. has been repaired, and is now in trood trim.

The distress in Lancashire, says tho Richmond Enquirer, lor tho want of raw material for tho cotton manufac ture is docidodly decreasing. In other words, the numerous persons thrown out of that species of employment are gradually becoming absorbod by other industrial pursuits. Thus it will be fbun 1, we believe, thit tho supposed dire extremity of England to brer.k our blockade and open our ports, will vanish like all tho other hopes based on outside influences, and leave us resting upon our own native energy and determination at last. The Lou don "Index," winch keeps -a .sharp look out upon the state of Lancashire, with express view to this matter,, has this paragraph, on tho 22d January : "The decrease of 'pauperism in Lan cashire still outinues, but not at a rate which would justify .he sanguine expectations 'entertained by-the less informed section of the public. There is an apparent diminution of 8,00 J, but the real reduction does not much exceed :J,M00 as will be soon by the statistics of the l.oor-Law Loard.

On the 6th of October, 17To, a reso lution was passed recomend ng to the several provincial assemblies, and committees of public safety, to arrest and secure any person in Jieir respec tive colonies whose going at large might in their opinion endanger the safety ot tho colony or the liberty of America. On the 11th of January, 177G, 'Con gress ordered that persons refusing to receive the Continental bills in pay ment, or who should obstruct and dis courage the circulation thereof should, on conviction, bo deemed, pub ished and treated as an enemy of tho coun try, and be precluded from all trade or intercourse with the inhabitants of the colonies. On the -1th of .March, a resolution waspase l recommending a general dis arming of disaffected persons through out the colonics. On the 10th ot April, 1770, it was announced to the council of safety of Maryland to cause the person and pa pers ot Gov.

They intend to do all the harm to the South that they can, in tho remnant of time left them, and then acknowledge the separation. By this means they hope to hold power in the remnant ot tho Union. Wo shall see. Tho Louisville Democrat is as deep ly dyed in tho guilt ol war as Lincoln, for it has been his obsequious tool from tho oeginning. He is one of those Kentucky patriots who fight Lincoln s proclamation with resolutions, and the rebois with bayonets.
