FROM CHARLESTON.

On Saturday, the 18th, there was a
spirited engagement at Charleston.
1he Eombardment OF battery Wagner
was unusually terrific. Five monitors,
the famous lronsides, seven wooden gun
boats, and two land batteries, maintain
ed a concentrated fire for eleven hours.
At dark the enemy, numbering ten
regiments, made a determined assault
on our works. After desperate strug-
gle, lasting until II o'clock, T. NJ, they
were repulsed with heavy loss.
Gen. Beauregard's official despatch in
reference to this engagement says:
eve had, in the battle Of the 18th
inst, about $50 killed and wounded
The enemy's loss, including prisoners,
was about two thousand. Nearly eight
hundred were buried under flag of
truce.
Col. Pullman, acting Brigadier Gen
eral, and Col. Shaw, commanding the
negro regiment, were killed."
We captured over two hundred pris-
oners, including some black troops en-
gagged in the assault
On the 10Th all was quiet. The day
was spent III burying the dead. On the
21st, the enemy recommended Smelling,
but did us but little damage.
A despatch from Charleston, dated
July oath, says:
The bombardment was renewed early
this morning; rapid continuous firing
till flag of truce went down at o'clock.
The attack. was renewed this evening.
The enemy are occasionally firing.
Cummings Point and Sumter are re-.
plying heavil y-- continuing now,9 P. M
There were sent down to the fleet TO-
day one hundred and five paroled pris-
oners, and we received forty.
A physician just from Hilton Head
says fifty four OF our regulars took the
oath last Wednesday,.
Casualties this morning, some three
killed and six wounded this evening

A despatch from Charleston of the 25th
says firing from Fort Sumter and Bat
terry Wagner, at the Yankees on Morris
Island, was kept up al night, and con-
tinued all of to-day. The Yankees oc-
casionally responded from their batter
les on Morris Island. The Yankees
have two batteries on Morris Island, and
have strengthened the position. No re-
ported casualties to-day. Another Mon

~ The Yankees have been COM
uniting considerable depredations in
North Carolina recently, in the way of
stealing negroes and destroying proper

are killed by Southern soldiers in the

are killed 10y Yankee rioters. The best

from Northern or Southern soldiers,

THE NEW YORK RIOT.

The fierce spirit Of the rioters Of New
York has been lulled to sleep by the ap-
preparation Of $2,500,00O to purchase
the exemptions Of those drafted, and the
treacherous promise Of the authorities
that the draft would be suspended in the
city. This fierce spirit Of resistance to
the draft is not dead, but only sleepeth,
and will, we opine, in short time, man
fest itself i'll more furious and terrible
manner. They may be willing to see
the administration practicing treachery
towards us, but We suppose that they
will not submit to have the same dis
honorable game practiced upon them
selves. Col. Nugent, Acting Assistant
Provost Marshal General, announced
that the draft was suspended in the cit
les of New York and Brooklyn. After
which Governor Seymour pledged his
word that the draft should be suspended.
After the rioters became convinced of
their triumph in defeating the execution
of the draft, they dispersed, became
quiet and returned to their homes and
avocations. AS soon as the rioters had
been thus lulled into false repose, the
following order was issued from Wash
lngtOn
