For two or three days past new rebel
battery on Sullivan's Island has been max
ing fruitless efforts to annoy our men in
the advanced trenches. The calibfe Of the
gun employed is not certainly known, but
it is supposed to be one of the eleven inch
guns taken from the Keokuk, and has not
long enough range to reach the Island.
Thus. fer no. damage has been done.
Four monitors, the Passaic, Patapsco,
Nahant and Montauk, came in yesterday
afternoon and engaged Fort Moultrie and
the batteries on Sullivan's Island, firing an
occasional shot at Forts Sumter and Wsg-
ner. The engagement opened about half
past three P. n, and two hours FIRE was
maintained with great intensity, particular
ly on the rebel side. :, The firing from
Moultfie and Battery Bee was terrific.
Many shots struck the monitors, but did
little damage. The heavy riaed and fifteen
inch shells of the iron clads burst with
effect over and in Moultrie, and sent the
earth whirling in all directions. Fort
Wagner was repeatedly struck BY explod-
ing shells, and was somewhat damaged
She fred but few shots at the monitors
during the contest. Battery Gregg was
exceedingly active. Her heavy guns were
in play from the first to the last Of the
engagement, and made some excellent shots.
After two or three hours fighting the mont
tors withdrew: The object of the attack
has not been developed.
Some days since, the enemy made an
effort to blow up and destroy the gunboats
and transports in Stone Inlet, by means of
torpedoes. Fortunately no serious damage
was inflicted on any Of the vessels BY these
Internal machines, but the escape was quite
narrow enough for comfort. 7'' -
One torpedoe exploded little astern of
the Pawnee and blew her launch towing
behind to fragments. A few moments later
tremendous explosion occurred few rods
below the Pawnee, occasioned BY another
torpedo sent down at the same time. From
facts since developed, it is certain the rebels
sent down on that night al least, ten of
these Inventions Three or four exploded,
and four were picked, one drifted through
tho feet and up Folly river, and exploded
under the bows of the mortar schooner G.
P. Williams, but occasioned no damage.

A RAID.-A small squad of raiders made
dash into Poolesville in this county, on
Saturday night last, capturing the telegraph
operator, (who was released, his instruments,
and did some damage to the wires. They
then entered all the stores but one, and bagged
large quantity of merchandise. Messrs. JEs-
BE 7. and DARIUS NJ. HIGGINS suffered to the
amount OF from three to four thousand dol
lars Messrs. FLErcHALL & HEFFNER some Sc
ven or eight hundred dollars; and Mr. WIN.
7. WALTER, about two hundred dollars. The
most mysterious part Of the whole affair is,
that nobody seems to have the least definite
IGea as to whence these raiders came nor
whittier they went. Itis vaguely surmised by
some that they were citizens in disguise from
the other side of the river, who make these
raids under pretence of being Rebels, with
the object of plundering.
