orERAT1oNs OF sATuRpAY.

AUGUST S.-The past night was not
so quiet, there being considerable firing
by the picket monitors, and also by the
batteries on shore, though as far as |
can ascertain, but little damage was
done on either side.
This morning there was much more
activity on shore, Fort Wagner having
thrown number of shot into our works
From the fact that there was no reply,
it may be inferred they done little or
no damage.
AT noon to-day, two OF three shells
were fred from Sumter toward our camps
on the Morris Island beach. The fuses,
however were two short, and the shell
exploded high up in the sir before
travelling half the distance. From
Sumter to our nearest camp the distance
is full three miles and a half, and the
gun frou which they throw these shells
is said TO be one Of those from the Keo-
kuk. They also threw some shell in tho
same direction from Battery Gregg, but
they all fell short.
The fact that the batteries of General
G ilmOre are less than one-third of the
distance from Sumter than the point TO
which the shells of Sumter reach, will
give better idea of the close proximity
Of our batteries to Sumter than the exact
statement of the distance. Our guns,
too, ranging from $50 to pounds
rifles are more powerful than any of
those possessed by the rebels With
these immense batteries pouring their
shot and shell into the par pet Of Sumter,
and seven Monitors and the Ironsides
within 500 yards pouring their 500.
Founders into its barren classmates, the
punishment will undoubtedly be more
than bricks and mortar can stand
The impression now is that the rebels
are hopeless of Sumter and Morris
Island, and are lending all their ener-
gies 10 the fertilization of James Island
and the strengthening of their inner
lines of defense.

The manner in which the armor Of the

causes general satisfaction, though she
has not yet been closer than eighteen
hundred yards to the rebel batteries.
Most of the heavy shot have crumbled
so pieces on her solid sides, and the
riaed shots have only made indenta-
hons, without doing the slightest dam
age. She has received two ten inch shot
on her port shoppers, and even there they
have made only indentations, without
doing any harm 10 them. The steel

sHARPsHooTEEs AT WORK,

There has been considerable sharp
shooting practice between our pickets
and the garrison at Fort Wagner. Tho
naval battery is within five hundred
yards of Wagner, and they have made
great eXertions to interrupt our working
parties by these means. Gen. Gilmore
accordingly organized a company of
sharpshOoiers, selecting the best shots
from tho different regiments, who have
been doing efficient service. The rebels
had one man, said TO be a Texan, who
was dead shot, and who was kept con-
stantl y in the rifs-pits, and had wound
ed several of our men. A member of the
4th New Hampshire, who is said to be
the best shot on Morris leland had been
watching for this man for four days, and
on Friday managed to put ball through
his forehead, killing him instantly. IL
was on that day that Captain Rogers
went TO Wagner with a flag of truce.
During the time Of the truce the men in
our batteries came out on the top of
their intrenchments, and the rebels hock-
ed out on Wagner, so close together that
they could talk TO each other. The New
Hampshire shsrpshooter kept his eye on
the Texan, saw where he went 20 after
the truce, and during the afternoon sue
ceeded in his mission, when shot of re-
joicing went up through Onr lines, which
was answered by howl from the rebels.

APPEARANCE OF SUMTER.

had previously heard that the case
mates were closed, and have now no
doubt of the fact, so far as the second
tier e concerned. The lower tier was
not visible from the point at which we
lay, the view being from the shore of
Morris Island, across Fort Wagner, which
concealed them. As TO the upper tier,
they are undoubtedly most eGectually
closed, being filed with masonry making
a smooth face of the wall Deserters say
there is fifteen feet of solid sand bags,
closely packed, inside of the classmates,
and that the parspet guns alone will be
used in the coming conflict. The reason
they give for this, is that the walls were
so thoroughly shattered by the April at
tack, that they were in danger of falling
from the conclusion of the guns, and it
was not deemed safe TO use them any
more
