The attack on Charleston.Repulse of the enemy on Morris Island. The Charleston papers, of Monday, bring us a full account of the fighting on Morris Island Saturday, and the subsequent bombardmenMorris Island Saturday, and the subsequent bombardment of Sunday. We make up the following account from them: The enemy evidently did not, at first, feel secure in his newly-gained position. During Thursday night, (according to the statements ofhe enemy fired rapidly, but wildly, eliciting only an occasional response from the forts on Morris's Island and Fort Sumter. Our casualties through the day were two killed and three wounded. One sho it, it is vain now to it quire. The Yankees having got possession of the southern half of Morris's Island, there is but one way to save the city of Charleston, and that is, the speedy and unflinching use of the bayonet. If the fight on Morris's Island is to be now a fight by engineering contrivances and cannon merely, the advantage is now with the enemy. With their iron-clads on the water, a

The report of one being crippled on Saturday was correct. She was towed off by two transports Saturday evening, and has not since made her appearance. The Yankee land forces composing the present expedition are under the command of Gen. Gillmore. Admiral Dahlgren commands the fleet. A demonstration was made by the enemy on Saturday on James Island. They shelled the woods very briskly for about one hour. A report was in circulation that a fight had taken place on Sunday morning at Secessionville, which proved untrue. The story probably sprung from the wounding of private Geo. Allen, of the 32d Ga. An alarm was given that the enemy was advancing, and Allen, who was picketing, arose to leave the place, where he was awaiting orders. While rising he was mistaken for a Yankee and fired upon by one of our men, the shot producing a ver

They have but a few thousand troops. If our soldiers and officers here are not equal to the kind of fighting fought by the Army of Virginia, and tried by the Yankees against such strong works as Fort Wagner and Secessionville, then Charleston falls. This, it appears to us, is the only course of safety, and we may add, too, for an economy of lives. Other means may protract the fighting to days and weeks, and postpone the termination of the struggle. No other mea

Mitchell's battery at the time of the attack and took part in the action, gives the following particulars: Lieut. G. C. Heyward, who was fighting one of the guns in the Confederate works which were captured Friday, upon being ordered to retreat, declined, and said he would fight his gun to the last. The enemy mounted his works and carried the battery at the point of the bayonet. Lieut. Heyward was shot through both hips. A shell struck the gun worked by Lieut. Bee, and exploded, ten places striking his breast and four in the face. He was carried for a distance of about five hundred yards by his men, when being hard pressed by the enemy they were compelled to leave him, and laid him in front of Capt. Mitchell's tent. Capt Macbeth was stunned by a shell and taken prisoner. The prisoners report him doing well when last seen. Eight guns and three morta

These had been placed in position on the sand hills at the lower end of the island, and were designed to command the approaches from Little Folly Island.

At daybreak, finding that the expected night attack would not be made, it was determined amongst the Yankee leaders themselves to attempt an onset, upon battery Wagner. Gen. Strong, with a force of about 2,000 picked men, at once made preparations for the assault. His command consisted of four companies of the 7th Connecticut, Lieut Col. Rodman commanding, with the 76th Pennsylvania, Colonel Strawbridge; the 9th Maine, whose names we have not learned, were killed, and a few others wounded.

Early on Friday morning last three of the enemy's gunboats steamed up toward Wiltown Bluff. After engaging a section of Schultz's battery, they succeeded in landing and took off a number of negroes belonging to Mr. Heyward Manigault. Two of the gunboats, after removing the obstacles in the river, passed up the river, and when opposite Dr. Glover's plantation their progress was checked by a section of Capt. Walter's battery (Washington Artillery) under command of Lieut. S. G. Horsey. After a brisk fight of about forty five minutes, at a distance of about 450 yards, the boats were so damaged as to be compelled to draw off. One boat, supposed to be the Planter, was so much crippled that she sunk on her way down.
