reports six Federal vessels still inside the Bar.
Five more vessels, supposed to be transports, ar
rived yesterday noon, and can be seen outside the
Bar-msking eleven vessels IN all now 10 sight Of
Fort Pulaski. From their movements it was thought
the vessels outside would come in ever the bar last
evening. The vessels inside lie at anchor about
four miles from the Fort, and out Of the reach
of our guns. One, q large frigate, can be
seen from the Exchange and the balconies Of the
stores on the Bluff.
ing party of Yankee troops, armed with muskets,
were observed from the Fort advancing along the
beach towards Kings landing. Two or three round
shot and shell were fired at them from the Fort,
When the first shell was fred, the Yankees pros
trated themselves on the ground after the second
shell burst over them, they arose snd fed to the
cover of the woods. They afterwards appeared on
the beach out of the reach of the guns of the Fort
It is not known whether any Of them were hit by
our shot and shell, but those who saw the bursting
of the Shells which made the sand hy in their i'm
mediate vicinity, under the impression that they

SIZZLING THE EEENY.-The Lincolnites were
drawn p to drill On Tybee beach yesterday and
having good time generally, when the garrison
at Fort Pulaski concluded they would give them
q salute from their long range Columblsds on tie
parapst. Three shells were thrown with great
precision. The first struck and exploded very eose
to the men, when they sn fell TO the earth. A
second and third prove rather Improvements on the
first, and the Ysnkees finding the work rather
warm for them, took to their heels at 4 Bull Run
pace. The distance was between two and three
miles, and it was impossible TO discover what eff
feet was created in the reduction of their nuns
bers. They have, at least, seen enough TO con-
vince them that the metal of Pulaski is not TO be
trifed with
Up to five O'Clock yesterday afternoon, there
we're eight vessels lying in the roads the frigate
Macedonian, several gun boats and the rest trans
ports. They were all escorted in by one gun boat,
which is said to be armed most heavily.
The Republican has the following notes from re-
liable sources.
FoRr Pulaski, Nov. 25.-IsHppose you have heard
of affairs down here before this. The enemy ep-
peared around Tybec Point about IL O'Clock A n
Yesterday. The sentinel reported them AID the
| assembly was beat we were ordered to the guns
there we awaited them. The enemy, composed of
q frigate and one gun boat rounded the point and
commenced throwing shot and shells on Tybee. Not
having received reply, they dispatched the gun
boat for more vessels. About O'Clock the gun
boat came back with two more very large vessels
soon after long train Of small boats was seen TO
leave the vessels and head for the shore.
! About O'Clock the Federal flag WA seen flying
on Tybee island. About O'Clock at night Captain
Read of the Irish Volunteers, took q squad Of bis
men and went over to the Island and got in sight Of
the Yankees he could see them all around the fire;
but finding that he could not effect his object which
was to burn the large hospital, there being too
many men around the house, be returned and burnt
all the houses on his way, including Capt. King's
large house on the platform where the boat lands
They also brought of an old negro, the property of
Mr.. King, which the picket had left he is now 81
the Fort
! Major Olmstsad and General Lawson came down
yesterday evening, but the General returned last
night to the city.
This morning the Federal flag could be seen flying
on the lighthouse.
| There are three large vessels of the point now
and another gunboat has Just arrived.
The island is naturally protected by large sand
hills, which could have protected our men from the
shells Of the enemy.
| think a thousand men could whip them of the
island in two hours. The enemy have foothoId on
all the Southern States bordering the Atlantic,
but think they have gained very little by taking
| Tybee Island. do not think they can get enough
rice and cotton Tybee to pay the cost of the
petition, as they say they did st Port Royal.
| Capt S. has gone out TO burn down some fisher
mems huts on the island.
| We have plenty of ammunition and men, and we
| defy them to come in the range Of our guns-we
will show them the difference between taking Port
Royal and Fort Pulaski
! Fort Pulaski, Nov. 26.-Nothlng new from the
enemy. We can see them constantly communicating

pellers and one large side-wheel steamer, which

them and ssquAdron Of three vessels lying outside
