TIE LANDING OF THE ENEMY on TrEyE ISLAND
We have already noticed, under our tele-
graphic head, the faee that the Yankees had
effected landing on Tybee Island. The Sa-
vannah Republican, publishes q letter from Fort
Pulaski, direct, dated November %, from
which We make the following extract:
The enemy appeared around Tybee point
about eleven o'clock, A. NJ, yesterday. The
sentinel reported them and the assembly was

awaited them. the enemy, composed OF a
frigate and one gum boat, rounded the point
and commenced throwing shot and shell on
Tybee. Not having received reply, they
dispatched the gan-boat for more vessels.
Abodt o. clock, the gun boat came back with
two more very large vessels; soon after, e
long train OF ssaaii boats was seen to leays
the vessels ard head for the shore. About.o
O'Clock, the Federal fisg was seen flying on
Tybee Island. About O'Clock ri night, Cap
tam Read, of the Irish Volunteers, took a
equad of his 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 island Is naturally protected by large
sand bills which could have protected our
men from the shells of the enemy.
