s of Savannah and Charleston—through the numerous inland canals which separate these islands from the main land. The Federals made great efforts to break up this traffic, and on the 13th of February they seized three vessels laden with rice in Bull's Bay. Meanwhile, the operations of investment which were to precede the siege of Pulaski progressed slowly. Tybee Island, already designated for the erection of breach-batteries, had been occupied since the month of December. Troops were landed arms of any interest occurred along that coast after the battle of Secessionville until the beginning of July, a period at which we must interrupt this portion of our narrative. On the 7th of April, the gun-boat Onward entered the waters of Bull's Bay, and stationed herself there for the purpose of closing this anchorage against the contraband trade; she found an abandoned work on Bull's Island, situated at the extremity of the bay. On the 21st of June, the gun-boat Crusader, piloted by R

rnoon. We have given the above accounts as brought by passengers from the scene of action. Up to a late hour last night no official dispatches had been received in relation to the events which we have mentioned. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon official dispatches were received, announcing that the enemy's gun boats had again opened a sharp fire of shells upon White Point, but for what purpose was not known. We have advices that, on Tuesday last a Yankee gun-boat entered Bull's Bay, and chased a Schooner that was coming from Santee, by the inland passage. The steamer was crowded with armed men on deck. She ran the schooner up a creek, but finding the water too shallow, ceased the pursuit. The Savannah News, of the 1st inst., says: On Sunday last a party of Yankees, whose favorite amusement seems to be "leap-frog, " showed themselves rather boldly near King's Landing, on Tybee, and while they were practising their antics, our boys at the Fort experimented

unner, having distinguished himself at the Hatteras inlet affair. The rebels have been trying their be at for the past two or three days to find out something relative to the place of attack. In this instance they have adopted the same method as when the Port Royal fleet was in port, viz: of sending two or three flags of truce per day to find out something. How far they have succeeded I am unable to say, but I am of opinion that Yorktown will turn out as great a bugbear this time as Bull's Bay has proved in the former instance. Huger, Magruder and other rebel Generals may have prepared extensively for the reception of our troops and gun-boats, but if either of the last named gentry should happen to be present at the place of attack by General Burnside they will find that this time they have caught a pretty large sized tartar. Rumors of all kinds are already rife since the expedition sailed, and it is currently reported that we will be lulled to sleep this night by the roar

upon similar frivolous charges. Another use for the Navy. The Natchez Courier of the 1st says that one morning last week, while a war vessel of the enemy was coaling at the Natchez shore, her officer is said to have remarked that the U. S. fleet desired to close out with Vicksburg in short order, that all her heavy gunboats might return-A ward, as war was expected to break out between Great Britain and the North. Captured by the enemy. A steamer, under English colors, which cleared from Nassau, N. P., for Beaufort, N. C., and which had put into Bull's Bay for a harbor, was captured by four Yankee launches on Monday morning last. Some twenty persons, who left her in boats, reached here yesterday evening, and we learn that the steamer had on board a valuable cargo of general merchandize, &c. The captain, supercargo, and several seamen remained on board and were taken with her. The last that was seen of her she had been carried out to the blockaders.--Charleston Mer

Ada. --A Yankee prisoner named Chas. Muldoon, belonging to the U. S. blockading steamer Wiona, was brought to Charleston Sunday night from McClelianville and lodged in jail.--It appears that the prisoner was one of a party sent from the blockading squadron in search of the blockade runner Little Ada. Information of her having run the blockade had been given several days previous by a party of eight deserters. The prisoner states that they had been out in their barges cruising around Bull's Bay and North Santee over forty eight hours before they discovered the object of their search. About six o'clock Friday morning they boarded the steamer laying at McClelianville, driving the crew into the cabin, setting a guard and taking possession of the vessel. The engineer in the party immediately commenced to get up steam, when they were discovered by our men at the batteries, which opened fire upon them with grape, canister, and shell. Some 8 or 10 shots were fired, five of which

that the evacuation of Charleston began nearly three weeks ago. A rebel officer, who deserted and was examined at Port Royal, gave some of the details; but they were not then believed. Since that time the rebels have been at work removing stores; though all the heavy supplies were left. The only information in regard to the rebels is that the direction taken by them in their flight was northward, and that their number was about fourteen thousand. An expedition of Union troops to Bull's Bay, a short time before the evacuation, was, it is understood, intended to cut the railroad north of the city; but, if successful, it could have prevented the escape of only a few of the rebels. Previous to the enemy evacuating, they fired the upper part of the city, by which six thousand bales of cotton were burned, and it is supposed that before they could subdue it two-thirds of the city would be destroyed. A fearful explosion occurred in the Wilmington Railroad depot, the cause
