THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.

New York papa.* which have come to hand• this I,
morning contain additional intelligence respecting
the Federal advances before Charleston. Fort Wile-
nor is described as a moat formidable work ; indeed,
the fact of its being intact after one of the most
terrific bombardments in the records of history
affords irrefragable evidence of this ; every
step to its approach was contested by the
Confederates until compelled to evacuate it
by the superior force and artillery of General
Gillmore. The Federal sappers having gained the
counterscarp of the fort on the 6th instant, Gen.
Gillmore ordered a general assault to be made on
the morning of the 7tlit which was rendered unne-
cessary by the withdrawal of the garrison on the
night of the 6th, leaving behind them nineteen
guns awl seventy-five men, which were taken
by the Federal troops. Colonel Keitt, of
South Carolina, commanded the garrison,
consisting of 1,400. The ironaidee and five
monitors commenced firing on batteries
Beauregard and Bee, at 5 a.m., and continued
until 2 p.m. on the Bth inst. One of the shells
is said to have entered the magazine of Fort
Moultrie, exploded, and shattered the south-
western parapet.

The occupation of Chattanooga and the retreat
of the Confederate forces is fully confirmed
by telegram to Washington ; the peaceful
surrender of Cumberland Gap is announced,
General Fraser (Confederate) having surrendered
it to the advanoed foroe of General Burnside, under
the command of General Shackleford, on the
afternoon of the 9th inst.

Official intelligence of the capture of Fort Smith,
Arkansas, has been received at Leavenworth.
The Confederates are stated to have retreated
before the command of General Blunt, subee-
(lneptly to have been attacked by General David-
son, near Little Rock, and forced across the Creek,
burning the bridge behind them.
The following is General Gillmore's despatch re-
lative to Fort Wagner :

OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM ORNTRAL GILLMORE.
Depertmest of the South.
Heed-quarters on the Field, Sept. 7.

Major-General H. W.llsHeck, Ceoenl-io•Chie[.

coneral,—l have the honour to report that Fort Wagner
and Battery Gregg are ours. Last night our sappers crowned
the counterscarp of the crest of Fort Wagner on its sea front,
masking all its guns, and an order was issued to carry the
place by runault at 9 o'clock this morning, that being
the hour of low tide. About 10 o'clock last night,
the enemy commenced evacuating the island, and all but
seventy-five of them made their escape from Cummings
Point in small boats. Captured despatches show that Fort
Wagner was commanded by Colonel Keitt, of South
Carolina, and garrisoned by 1,400 effective men, and Bat.
tery Gregg by between 100 and 200.
Fort Wagner is a work of the most formidable kind. Its
bomb-proof shelter, capable of holding 1,800 men, remains
intact, after the most terrible bombardment to which any
work was ever subjected. We have captured 19 pieces of
artillery, and a large supply of excellent ammunition. The
city and harbour of Charleston are now completely covered
by my guas.
I have the honour to be, general, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, N. A. Gru.noas.
Brigadier-General Commanding.

General Burnside, upon completing the recovery
of East Tennessee by the capture of the rebel force
defending Cumberland Gap, tendered his resig-
nation to the War Department by telegraph. It is
supposed that he has contemplated this course for
some time in consequence of the constant political
perplexities that beset him in the administration of
his department, through the repudiation of certain
of his measures by the government ; but "did not
take it until he could leave the service without
discredit to himself, after expelling the last armed
rebel from his department."
The official despatch from General Bosecrana, re-
lative to Chattanooga, is as follows :

Camp neer Trenton, Sept. 9, 8.30 pm.
