Out of a little over eight hundred shots from the four Yankee batteries fired at Fort Sumter yesterday, hardly one hundred struck the fort, all the rest falling short, showing a proof that the enemy's guns are losing their efficiency. The enemy, it is reported, has mounted new guns on his batteries Nos. 1, 2, and Gad-berry Hill. Two of these guns are believed to be three hundred pounder Parrotts. He has also mounted a very heavy gun in battery at Gadberry Hill. There has been no change of importance in the position or number of vessels in the fleet.
