The siege Of Charleston.

NEW YORK, July 26.-We are indebted
10 the Herald for the following account OF
the operations near Charleston, received by
the Argo, the 18th. The rebels attempted
70 70 drive our forces from Morris Island.
Inc attack was sudden and unexpected,
but Gen. Terry met and repulsed them
with great slaughter. The gunboat Paw
nee, which supported the left flank, ground
ed, and a rebel battery opened on her,
driving about 80 shots, 80 of which hit her.
She subsequently fioated off and opened
upon the rebel battery putting them to
hight. Our casualties were small. and the
rebels were taught lesson they will not
soon forget.
The bombardment of Fort Wagner was
renewed on the morning of the I'D, the iron
clads cooperating with the army. During
the day Fort Wagner was silenced for
some time, and the colors shot away. New
Union batteries were opened upon the reb-
els, doing great execution.
ilATER.-A charge was made on Fort
Wagner, and our troops, after desperate
s,Esggle, We're obliged to fall back, which
they did IN excellen, order, and held their
old position. The loss on our side was
quite severe; but our total loss in killed,
wounded and missing, since the 10th, is
only about LEGO. The 18th New York lost
about 250 men-only three officers escaped
unharmed. The Catskill was struck over
fifty times, but is all right. She went to
Hilton Head for supplies and coal.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The details of the
charge on the I'D, made on Fort Wagner.
show the most desperate fighting on the
part OF Gen. Strongs brigade. there being
scarcely a field or line officer who escaped
being wounded, and many We're killed.
At one time nearly the whole rebel force
was concentrated upon the 24th Mass, col
ored regiment. They fought heroically,
and only retreated when the rest did.
Col. Putnam, in command of the storm
ing party, after they had gained a part of
the fort and planted the flag on the parapet,
sent to Gen Is Strong and Seymour for rein
forcements ,/but both these Generals had
been wounded-meantime his party being
decimated by rebel grape, and when Gen'l
brigade had received orders to
advance it was too late-our men had been
forced to retire.
