The firing during to-day has been.
heavier than for several weeks. The.

FROM NEW YORK.
Later from Charleston Gilmore re-,
moves his headquarters to Folly
Island-xhat the Rebels are doing.


New YORK.. Oct 6.-The Post says
that by the arrival of the steamer: Fulton
at this port from Charleston, Eve. have a
report apparently on good authority, that
the headquarters of Gen. Gilmore had
been removed from Morris Island to
FellyIsiand. Continual sinking of the
beach Of Morris Island has rendered the
removal of the Federal Headquarters,
the bedy of theE troops and the material,
a measure of convenience, while there
are sanitary reasons which would ulti-
mately be controlling. There are said
to be other causes for the change, among
themis, the troops will bot be- less avail
able in the future operations against
Charleston -
The firing of Gillmore's batteries, of
which we have received news;from rebel
sources, was almost exclusively against
the efforts that were mixing, and which
the rebels do not disclose, to- erect new
batteries on the ruins Of Fort Sumter.
It appears that our accommodating
parties, passing near tn I wall during the
night, discovered that the garrison were
conducting extensive Operations, and
the indications were thai the-rehels, who
were gathering in large numbers, would
be erecting batteries inside Of the ruins
with thesiatention of using them when
ths4works should have been sufficiently
advanced to Justify the removal of the
broken walls and debris, which concealed
the'workmen and protected their opera
tons. - ~
The rapid and heavy firing oks our
guns, it is expected, wiz not only entirely
stopgthis- work, blit@will render the rebel
occupation of Sumter precarious, if not
impossible. = y - 4
Gillmere' operations on Morris Island
are actively going on.

dition of WagnerSis such as to protect
