was uncertained that the remains of the uniforms, the buttons, &c., were those of Rebel regiments. This discovery excited much bitterness among our soldiers; especially in the South has been made to ring with charges of barbarity against our army. Dead bodies were also found lying in heaps, some with the hands and feet tied, and one poor fellow excited the commiseration of all who beheld him. His ankles and wrist a were fled, and his hands were clasped, as if in prayer when he died. Colonel Pinckney, of the Sixty-Sixth, humanely directed that the remains of these shamefully used and neglected soldiers should be carefully buried, a duty which our soldiers performed with circumspection. The charred remains were found in the Rebel Camp More. The rebels in their evacuation left a large amount of property behind, much of which consisted of provisions. The residents in the vicinity were prompt in endeavoring to secure as much of the latter as possible, by our soldiers interdicted

if he were not afraid to express himself so boldly ? His reply was, "No ! they have me in their power — let them do their worst !" or words to that effects and so they all left home and families. Let me add one word here in regard to the Rev. Dr. Pinckney, whom the Episcopal clergy nominated a year or so ago to the laity for their Bishop Dr. P. was incarcerated within one month after that in Fort Warren, and was still confined in prison as late as July last, and the writer believes that he is a prisoner yet. This is pretty good evidence, the writer thinks, of Dr. Pinckney's Southern sentiments, notwithstanding the laity at the time could not be convinced of the fact. This is not said with the intention of seeming to give place to a regret — for the writer is sure that the Episcopal Church has been singularly blessed in its of a Bishop — but by way of validating a noble clergyman of Maryland, who is suffering in behalf of the South. New, what are we to say in regard to the<

Sumner and Couch soon came to a conclusion that these batteries must be at once silenced, so that we might have free access along the river road. Col. Zook's brigade after them. The 57th New York, Lieut. Col. Chapman, and the 53d Pennsylvania, Col. Brooks, advanced as skirmishers along the Falmouth road until within a mile of the town. The two regiments were followed by the remainder of the brigade to which they belong, consisting of the 2d Delaware, Col. Bailey; 66th New York, Col. Pinckney, and the 52d New York, Col. Frank--the whole brigade commanded by Col. Zook, of the 57th New York.--Capt Pettit's battery, the 1st New York Artillery, and Owens's and Tompkins's two Rhode Island batteries followed. Capt. Pettit's battery Opens the Ball. Capt. Pettit's battery was at once placed upon a high hill, with Zook's brigade directly in the rear, completely covered by the natural position of the hill. At about half past 3 the first gun was sighted and brought to bear upon

r to us and immediately in front is Wagner, with its sides, though bearing some appearance of shape, yet torn and ragged. Over the low land of Morris Island, and on James Island beyond, are the two batteries which the hands of treason have recently built. A little farther beyond and to the right is Fort Johnson, and to the right of that opens the harbor and city. The yellow walls of Castle Pinckney form a prominent object over the smooth surface of the water. A little to the left of Pinckney is the iron-clad middle ground battery, Fort Ripley, and I imagine it is not more comfortable below than the rebel prize Atlantis, for I see upon the top of it the white tents in which the officers and men probably live. A little beyond and to the left is the city.--The green trees upon the battery look beautiful and inviting, and from under their sheltering foliage many of the fair residents of Charleston looked out upon the fight, praying in their hearts — anxious and palpitating hea
