dy fire for several hours upon the enemy at work on Gregg and Wagner. --Most of the Yankee's work, to avoid the annoyance caused by our batteries, is executed at night. They are extending the flanks of Battery Gregg and sodding Battery Wagner. Monday afternoon some heavy firing, lasting about half an hour, was heard in the direction of Black Island, the cause of which we have not learned. All is quiet at Fort Sumter, and the garrison in the highest spirits in anticipation of a merry Christmas. Saturday and Sunday nights the enemy displayed a calcium light from Battery Gregg, reflected towards the city, from half-past 1 to half-past 4. An armed brig from the North was seen to come inside the bar Monday afternoon. Several vessels, mostly schooners, supposed to be supply boats, passed the bar, going South. The number of vessels inside the bar Monday evening was 27; in Stone 19; River 10; Light-house Inlet 19; off the bar 7--all of about the same character as heretofore repo

We are surprised that this choice volume is not accompanied by the Life of Abraham Lincoln and the Life of the late lamented John Brown, whose soul is now marching on in the track of Cromwell.
