Siege Of Charleston.
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ru1Rp D

THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY TuIRD DAY.
No material change in the position of affairs
on James Island took place Wednesday, -
Slight skirmishrg was kept up on both sides,
Very little heavy firing occurred
Wednesday morning the enemy were discover
cd in some force on Johns Island, betwccrs'
Lcgarevilie and DR.. Townsend's plantation.
They threw out their skirmshers about ten
o'clock, and were met by the Marion Artillery
and detachment Of: the 32d Georgia, Colonel
Harrisons Regiment. A considerable FIGHT
ensued, the enemy taking refuge in DR.. Curtis
residence. The Marion Artillery opened upon
them with shot and shell, and drove them from,
that point towards Legareville. The enemy
left two negroes killed and three wounded after
them. We did not learn the casualties on our
part but suppose they must have been slight, as
the enemy run as soon as our battery got in
position and opened upon them.
1t was reported last evening that they had
left the Island, but nothing definite was known.
No unusual movement was observed in the
oncmys fleet; the number of vessels inside the
bar including iour Monitors, and the number
in the Stono with two Monitors, being about
the same as previously reported.
Forty five shells have been thrown at the
city since last report.

Terrible Explosion ut the Was hing
ton Arsenal

to-day, a few minucts before twelve O'Clock. It
seems that some rci stars for fireworks haJ
been made and set out on black pans to dry.
They could not stand a temperature of more
than two hundred degrees, and under the hot
sun soon reached that. One of the stars igni-
ted, which set the remainder off, exploding tho
the Laboratory. The occupants of the building
were all females. Upon the explosion terri
ble scene witnessed. In the yard there
were about twelve hundred men and three
hundred women at work, number Of whom
were burned. .and bruised in cndeavoring to get
away. The alarm was Immediately given, and
after the fire cxtinguishcd search for bodies
was commenced.
Eighteen bodies have thus far been taken out
of the ruins, burned to crisp. twas mpossi-
bic to recognize them.
Eight females were taken ont in a sad condi-
ton and placed in the hospital.
The scene at the yard was of the most heart
rending description.
The prents of many of those at work in the
tie disaster to make iSquifics afecr The safety
of their chdfen, hut the names of all who have
perishcd cannot be ascertaincd until p call Of
the roll can. be made, and those who h.se bccn
saved arc assembled together.
Major Stebbins, military storckecpcr, WAS in
the building at the time with several other gen
tlcmen, and states that after the powder on the
benches caught, the fire spread down rapidly,
Binding the girls and setting fire TO their
clothes. Many Of them ran to the windows,
wrapped in flames, and in this way co.nnrnica-
ted the fire to the dresses of others.
The ninteen dead bellies taken out were so
terribly charried as to be almost beyond i,cn-
tacation. Three more :ro mortalIy injured
and there are fifteen or twenty severe contu-
sions. Special care was taken to prevent the
fire from reaching the large magazine in which
several tons Of powder constantly kept, for
had the flames reached this building the loss Of
life would have been fearful, as several hundred
persons were in the immediate vicinity. While
tho 6remen were engaged in pouring their
streams upon the building in which the cxpo
SION occurred, another explosion took place in
the ruins, but which only resulted in throwing
up into the air some Of the burning timber.
Quite number were injured in jumping from
the windows, But the majority of those who
escaped in this way Immediately ran off: in all
directions which renders it difficult to tell who
Perished and who escaped. One young woman
had an arm broken in jumping from the win
dow. Three boys are missing, and it is feared
they perished in the building.

1t appears that Con. JOHNSTON has Withdrawn to
position two miles south of that previously oc-
cupicd. A dispatch to tho Chronicle and Sentinel
states that this movement was mado in accordance
with previously contemplated arrans ements, and in
consequence of scarcity Of water Another account
alleges that it was mado to counteract flank move
ment Of the enemy our loft. Both accounts agree
that the army was withdrawn in perfect order and
without any loss Of men material Having ourselves
tho most unboundcd confidence in Gen. JOHNSTON we
feel no uncasness at this retrogrado movement If tho
general is not hampcrcd by special orders from Rich
mond SIiERMAN's annihlation is question of time
merely.
What shadows we are and What shadows We
pursue, saith the poet, or some one else.
Let anybody try to sec what sort of shadow
he pursues about noon to-day, and he will find
it very short onc-a mere spot. The fact
is, that in the way of shadow, we may be said
to walk on ourselves. Certainly, any lady with
expansive crinoinc will make a shadow ne arly
circular, without either head or arms, and can
hardly DO said to pursue it at all, even when
she walks with her back to the sun.

The Bird of Battle.

The New Albany Indianna) Ledger tells this
story
''We printed few days ago, from an Atlanta paper,
an account of a mocking bird, which, at the battle
OF Resaca peFched Itself on the top of a tree and
during the fight initiated the whistng Of the bullets
and other noises incident to battle.
Another and more touching incident Of similar
character yesterday related to us by Capt George
Babbitt of General Gresham staff and of
which he was himself witness During the fierce
canonading at Niekaiaek. a small bird came and
perched npon the sholder of an artillerymanthe
man designated we believe, No 7, whose duty
IT is to down the charge after the ammunition IS
put IN the gun. The piece was Napoleon which
makes very loud report. The bird, as we have sta
ted, perchedtsefupo this man shoulder and could
not be driven from its position by the violent motion
of the gunner When the piece was discharged, the
poor little thing would run its beak and head up un-
der the mans hair the back of the neck and when
the report died away would resume its place upon
his slo calder Capt Rabbit took the bird in his hand,
but when he released his grasp it Immediately resu,
med It's place the shoulder of the -begrimed
gunner The scene was witnessed by large num-
Der Of officers and men. 1t may be subject of curl
GUS inquiry, what instinct led this bird thus place
itself, Possibly frightened at the violent commoton
caused by the battle aud not knowing how escape
or where to go instinct led it to throw itself
upoh the gum protector. But, whatever the
cause, the incidentwas most beautiful and pleasing
one to all who witnessed it.
