None Of our batteries are injured, and among

tcrios have teen worked with great credit TO
those in charge ct them. On yesterday there

Tie correspondent Of the Columbus (Ga)
SrN SAYS: General Bragg says he cInnot IN iko
ont What CID Brown is af.cr. lie has beon
firing for eighteen hours confccutively, and has
doLo us no injury. Not soul was hurt yester-
day, and no damage was done to our works.
Gen. bragg thinks Browns firing yesterday
WAS ridiaulnus One halt of their shells would
not explode, ard the navy yard is piled with
them. You can walk over them, they are so
thick. We cannot ascertain what damage We
have done. Our aim was deliberate and our fire
slow. Every gun did good execution and our
shells burst always just over Fort Pickens. Oar
boys would fire hg gun, and then jump on It
and give cheers. They are perfectly delighted
at the fun. The iUrco engaged has been McCae's,
and Whoats, and another battery, all from
Louisiana and Mississippi. The enemy attempts
cd landing at Perddo River on Sunday night,
but were most zig lally repulsed by our gallant

Loose and drove the remainder safely through.

his report to the Government.
The Charleston COURIER of Nov. Goth pub
fishes a statement from its correspondent at
Pensacola dated Nov. 23d, which is not quito
80 boastiul. Fort McRae, which they now ai-
feet to undervalue, was formerly considered
their most formidable defence, and WAS men,
toned as such by Mr.. RUSSELL, of the London
TINES:
Both Tarties are silent this morning. Poor
Font McRae suffered y, sterday far more than
we thought Six men were He'd by the fall
ing Of the cover of a rest, and ten others
wounded. They say five hundred shot aud
shell fell into the fort. The damage was done
by the ships which took position southwest Of
the fort, where the guns could not be very eff
ftctiye, aud fired broadsidc after broadside upon
her. A battery located just back of her aided
in repelling the attack, and, it is said, struck
them 10 times. Only two ships ara off the har-
Dor this morning. | fear neither party will renew
the fight this morning. II they do, McRae will
probably bo abandoned during the day and tho
battery behind her worked. But, II she was
lcyclled to the sand, nothing would be accom-
plshed towards the reduction of our batteries.
We have never couuted her as anything in the
