Pickcus. Yesterday ut ~ O'clock The steamer
Time arrived at the yard. and while rounding
to- in tine vacant basin several she'll were nrrd
at her, only one taking effect, doing but little
damage. A continuous tire then ensued from
our batteries our side returning THEN first DEM
Oustratiou. The shell Of the enemy was p%articu-
lariy directed to tue yard round and solid shot
were aimed at the yard and the powder maya
zine particularly. Not u gun Is yet dismounted,
and there is little chance Of our being seriously
/ injured. Yesterday there were four killed and
ten wounded. This morning esd firing com
meuced at a quarter to eleven O'Clock, which
still continues at slow intervals. Bragg sent a
flag of truce this morning az . O'Clock, saying If
/ the fort was not surrendered at 10 O'Clock, he
would open fire upon her, which be did. Three
vessels in the oting, and they throwing shot and
| shell. Warrington is Tiddled and toe yard badly
damaged, but our forts are not yet hurt Our
batteries work well, and the men are cool aud
fire slowly but surely.
The san paper als0has the following edito-
rally:
1t is stated that the firing from our ]tortiica-
tons recommended Sunday night at about eight
o'clock. but ceased shortly atJerward. Another
account SAYS that it was only the report OF a sig
nal gun.
What stopped the firing on Sunday, We have
no means OF knowing. II Is mm0rru that Col
Brown desired to respect the Sabbath, and want
ed the day for his deyOti0ns. a pIOus gentleman,
no doubt, and deserving of respect for It al

damages or to pander to the sentiment Of those
crazy preachers at the North, who, IN casting
about for Tor the defeat at Manassas
Plains. could find nothing better than that Gen.
Mcdowell, choosing bis own position and day,

last night. and with the exception of two
three holes made with the rife shot, she is u
hurt. This shows that their guns are Of a We
