WASHINGTON, June 21.-The following re-

meuL:
FLAG SHIT WABASH, /
Port ROYAL HAnsoR, juno Is, 1868.
S1R-I have the honor to report to the De
partment that on the night Of the 5th inst.
steamer attempted to run ont Of Charleston.
She was turned back by the Wlssahickon,
which vessel pursued her over the bar, firing
ut her repeatedly. The steamer was sunk.
From subsequent information from two
deserters from Charleston, whom I send
North tby the Massachusetts, there Is reason
to believe the vessel was the Isaac Smith.
On the night Of the 18th inst, another
steamer attempted to run the blockade at
Charleston, by the Sanford channel. She was
fired at by several Of the vessels, but in the
darkness cluded them.
On the next morning ut daylight she was
discovered at the north end Of Folly Island,
on fire, which, however, did not destroy the
vessel. She Was large side.Wheel steamer,
and is supposed by Commodore Turner to be
the Hayelock, but this Is not certainly aacer-
tained.
