BOMBARDMENr OF RED BLUFF.

In our telegraphic column, says the Charles
ton -kercury, OF 4th INST, will be found des-
patch from Savannah, ai}uding to heavy firing
which had been heard liz the direction OF Red
Bluff. We have been at some pains to aseer-
tain what really did occur, and enabled
to present the following statement Of the
facts:
The firing which seems to have created so
great sensation in Savannah, was from the
enemy's guns. y little before eleven o'clock,
the Yankces-i. e., sailors, for it is thought
that no soldiers We're abOard-approachcd Red
Bluff in two steamers and two gunboats, and
began their ole amusem ment ot Smelling the
neighborho0d Their fire was exceedingly Sc
we're, and was maintained, alHlost without in
tcrmission, from eleven O'Clock, a, NJ, until
one O'Clock, p. N. The enemy succeeded IN
burning all the houses within their reac!.; bat
we are grsti.icd to say that nobody was hurt.
Our troops had all left Red Bluff some days
ago. Many OF the shells and round shot OF
the guAboats We're picked up at distance OF
iuljy ) niles from the nuzzlcs which lad scnt
them forth.
We learn further, that the marine obstruc-
tons near Red Bluff have been remored by the
enemy, and that their sailors are now engaged
in taking soundings of the neighboriHg chan
nels Itls almost needless to say that our
boys kcepa hight lookout
