OPERATIONS NEAR CHARLESTON

PORT ROYAL, May 2s.-Although, as vet.
nothing startling has been done during the pasc
ten days, stiii our forces have by ne means been
idle. Steadily and with will have they erect
ed defensive fortifications on Folly Island un-
til 1t has become a position of impregnabilisv
and safe base Of operations. Especially have
strong Notifications, been built upon the north
ern end of the island, which, as Won know. is
separated from Morris Island by an inlet We
have mounted guns on there Notifications
which command, to a certain degree, some of
the Rebel works, but as yet we have commen-
ced no offensive demonstrations. Neither have
the Rebels been idle, but they, also. no doubt
anticipating our desigps against Morris Island,
have been making their petition stronger every
day, and erecting heavy batteries on the lower
end OF this island parallel to and opposite our
own. They, as yet, have evinced no desire to
open the ball.
/ do not think that the present quiet win CON-
tinue much longer, but that there will soon be
active operations of some kind, either recon-
noissance in force or preliminary expedition
against points concerning which we desire In
formation III reference to the rebel forces and
their disposition. The rebels will probably not
risk visit to Folly Island
Coles Island, also in our possession, is near
Folly Island, lying further inward Upon this
erected last year, and find them sufi iciently
strong to hold the position.
We also hold kawah Island, which is oppo-
site Folly Island, on the other side of Stono
Inlet. 1t is position OF not mnch importance
since, if we hold Folly Island, that is sufficient
to oomYnand the harbor, and, above all, fur.
nishes us with the proper base OF operations
against the Rebel .hordes around Charleston,
and especially south oft.
The gunboats Pawnee and McDonough are
laying like two great bull dogs, waiting for an
opportunity to make a dash upon any Rebel
accommodating parties upon any Of the ad5oin-
ing Islands. The Legreeyille battery has no
compliments for them.
