d, and twelve from Charleston. They surprised General Moultrie at Stono, at which battle the brave Colonel Jawrehee was killed. The British headed the Ashley river at the ferry, nine miles above Charleston, and attacked our fortifications at Charleston Neck, which they carried after a siege of five weeks, and compelled the city of Charleston to capitulate from famine. This portion of our present fortifications is called the Second Military District, and protects the communications from North Edisto to Charleston. Should the Yankees attempt to approach from that direction they would find it a hard road to travel, as we have a line of fortifications at this point protecting the passage of Ranfoul's Creek, and a second line covering an inundation from Stono to the Ashley, the strength of which the enemy will find out on exploration. A third line covers all the bridges communicating with Charleston, and all the ferries above are guarded with powerful tele de ponts. These works have be

Two Yankee negroes, captured by Major Jenkins's pickets on North Edisto, while out oystering last Thursday, were brought to Charleston Monday morning and turned over to the Provost Marshal. They are miserable looking specimens of the Northern negro, and claim to belong to the 55th Massachusetts regiment, now stationed on Folly Island.

Our picket line is re-established, but the monitors and gunboats are still in the Stono, firing heavily on our lines, and another transport has just come in with troops. The party from North Edisto landed at White Point, and advanced, but were soon met and driven back. So far, the enemy has been repulsed with the loss of about six hundred men. Samuel. Jones, Maj.
