terry wagner and the complete OccupA- 1
iion Of Morris Island by the enemy /
This is q step toward success in the re- |
duction Of Charleston, but il is not sue |
cess itself, nor does il by any means in. |
sure IL. We understand that our officers |
in command there regard il as entirely !
practicable to defend Charleston with. !
out Morris Island, but while the enemy |
cannot force the surrender Of the city Of !
Charleston, we fear that the danger has |
much increased Of its being battered |
down by their artillery. Charleston has
nerved itself for the trial, and the SYM
pathies and prayers Of nation are ex-
hibited in its behalf. God. grant her
safe deliVerance. The flag Of truce gum
boat brings no prisoners nor answers to
any propositions proposed by Ould at
the last meeting of the commissioners.

object in coming up the river was TO
exchange newspapers, but from what we
can learn that seemed TO be the purpose
of the visit"
The Secretary Of the Navy has re-
turned from = brief visit TO the navy
yards. He expressed his qualification
with the condition of the yards and his
satisfaction with the energy and skill
displayed in the construction and repair
of vessels, as well as the ordnance aud
various other branches of business car
ried on in the yards. The number of
men employed was never greater than at
the present.
The impression prevails here that
| Bristol, Tennessee, is by this time in our
possession, as the first important result
of the fall of Chattanooga and Cumber-
land Gap,
The President is not disposed to ac-
cept Gen. Burnside's resignation, and has
asked him 10 retain his present command
with view TO . satisfactory settlement
of matters which led to the offer of his
resignation.
Intelligence received here from Charles
ton states that in the bombArdment of
Fort Moulirie the new iron clads have
been subjected to the severest fire re-
ceived during the siege, resulting in con-
siderable injury.
Not much time, however, will be re-
quired to effect repairs,
