In the evening, however, the seven tur-
reted monsters re.appeared, and it is believ-
ed they had merely gone round to Stono to
avoid the heavy blow that prevailed at The
bar during the afternoon.
Itis also reported that two Of the small
boats belonging to The Keokuk have been
secured by our men on Morris Island.
It is hardly probable that the enemy, af-
ter his injuries and experience received in
the attack of Tuesday, will be ready for
another trial very soon, if at all, especially
in the same direction.
~ Itis curious coincidence Of war that
the commanders, Gems. Beauregard, Ripley,
Col. Rhett, Lieut.. Col. Yates, and nearly
sall the garrison Of Fort Sumter, we're the
same men WIZ were the chief actors in the
bIoodless reduction Of Fort Sumter in April
1851 and who have nov. so gloriously and
successfully repelled q formidable attack
upon this famous fortress, while in their
keeping. z E..,s rs -. :
\ No additional news was received from,
Stono. The number of vessels reported id
side was aboutthirty.
The heavy firing heard early in the morn.
ing and later in the afternoon is believed
to, have been practicing at the batteries.

THE FOE.
The enemy still continues to occupy the
position he took after Withdrawing from
the engagement on Tuesday. Il was ex.
:pected that he would renew the battle, and
with "a more fierce demonstration of
strength essay the reduction of the strong
holds that guard the approaches to our city
by water. But for reasons known only; to
himself ho delays another attack, and con-
tents himself with the threats. the presence
Of his dark! !hulked craft give expression to.
It's, however, not reasonable to suppose
that be will not come again. Neither the
Government nor the people WILDE satisfied
with that feeble effort to get possession Of
Charleston. The despo., the press, the
spectators and contractors, and the great
Yankee public would CRY out against the
abandonment of the expedition at this
stage. The Ironsides and the Monitors
will open their terrific FIRE upon our strong
holds once more, and today the deep boom
of their enormous guns may fall upon our
ear. G., s,s: y. ~ fs3,Gs.5
We are ready for them. Officers, gun
ners and people are eagerly expectant Of
their coming. With hearts rendered the
more confident by the result Of the battle Of
the seventh, we long to enjoy the victory
which we feel God will youchsafe the ener.
gy, skill and valor that have marked the
preparation and the resistance. *:
When the boastfal foe comes again, we
hope and believe that his water monsters
will suffer SO greatly that he will lose all
stomach for the dangerous undertaking.
But we trust that before he abandons the
disagreeable work, he will give US an op.
portunity Of showing him that We can do
more than simply repulse his onslaughts.
Theanniversary Of the fall Of Fort Sum
terswiil likely be the occasion Of another
conflict in our harbor. Il
Six Monitors and the Ironsides were still
inside the bar up to Thursday evening; no
material change having been made in their
positions.
Another Nondescript, or nYankee Devil
No. 2" having the appearance, Of large
raft, about one hundred and fifty feet long,
with masts and rigging, came up to thelbar
last evening. Nothing positive. could be
ascertained as to its real character.
