No damage was done to the battery.--Some of the shells fell and exploded some distance beyond the Moultrie House. Fort Beauregard replied slowly. Upon acquiring the range of the enemy's vessels with our rifle gun, one shot caused them to leave in a very hasty manner for their old anchorage.--Charleston Courier, Aug. 28th. Tired of fighting for the Tyrant. Mr. J. D. Howe, of the 1st Missouri regiment, informs us that on the 2d instant two regiments, one from Kentucky and the other from Indiana, rebelled at Rienzi, Miss, and started South with their arms. Four regiments of Wisconsin troops were sent to intercept them, when a fight ensued, lasting from Saturday morning until night. The Kentuckians and Indianians drove the Wisconsian regiments six miles in the direction of Corinth. At sundown the Federals were reinforced by two Illinois regiments, who ca

of Friday: Yesterday morning the Federal ram, Monarch, and the gunboat Luther No. 3, went up the Yazoo river. At 3 o'clock in the evening one or two others were seen going up. Our preparations in that quarter are ample to meet and repel the enemy. Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the enemy's mortar boats below here opened fire upon our batteries. They were laying off near the Louisiana shore, and it is also supposed that they have a land battery of two guns on shore near Mr. Burney's place. They kept up a vigorous bombardment for three hours, and averaged about one shell a minute. At first their aim was directed at our batteries, but afterwards they commenced throwing, their shells indiscriminately in every direction, nearly all falling short. Some came within a short distance of the city; some fell in the river, and some were seen to fall in DeSoto. Our batteries escaped injury, and nobody was hurt. Some old houses below the city were struck, but no serious dam

From this our people may learn the character of the war they will see, if, by their own supineness, they suffer it to be brought home to their own doors. Attack on Fort Beauregard. An officer from Sullivan's Island reports that one or more of the blockading fleet commenced shelling Fort Beauregard, Thursday evening, in retaliation, as is supposed, for the execution of Burger, which they could scarcely have failed to witness, as the prisoner was shot in an open space within sight of the fleet. No damage was done to the battery.--Some of the shells fell and exploded some distance beyond the Moultrie House. Fort Beauregard replied slowly.

Cole, under the direction and by the aid of the military authorities will have the road repaired as rapidly as the work can be done, and from his well known energy and the resources at his command, we feel sure that he will "carry up his corner" equally with others who have undertaken to open up the road to our State capital.--Chattanooga Advertiser, Aug, 27th. From Norfolk. A private letter recently received in Petersburg from a lady in Norfolk has been published. We copy the following interesting extracts: Poor, unfortunate Norfolk! Would that the torch had been applied to every dwelling here, and the city laid waste. Better, far better, to have been a scene of desolation than the stage on which such humiliating scenes are daily enacted. I sincerely hope, if the rulers find it necessary to evacuate any more

Vicle has issued an order prohibiting traders from selling more than one pound of tea and a half bushel of salt at any one time. At first this order was incomprehenservants wages. Is it not outrageous? And how can we endure it? The authorities boldly acknowledge that they know no distinction of color. And the Governor is Gen. Vicle, whom the Norfolk ladies were so infatuated with. So kind, so polite, so lenient. Better say shrewd and cunning, like the rest of the Yankees and their masterroperty as they need it. The gentleman who has been occupying Dr. Wm. Selden's elegant mansion, to take care of it in Dr. S.'s absence, has been ordered by Gen. Vicle to vacate it, as he wishes it for his headquarters.

Some came within a short distance of the city; some fell in the river, and some were seen to fall in DeSoto. Our batteries escaped injury, and nobody was hurt. Some old houses below the city were struck, but no serious damage done. The principal damage was the digging up of a patch of potatoes by the shells. A shell struck the residence of Mr. Victor F. Wilson, entering the northwest corner, and from thence to the cellar, where it exploded, tearing things to pieces generally, and coming out at the top of the building. We are informed that one of our citizens, a noncombatant, was wounded yesterday by the explosion of a shell. The mortar fleet opened on our batteries this morning at 6 o'clock, and kept up their fire at about the same rate as yesterday. Towards 10 o'clock the firing slackened considerably, and longer intervals of si

They are still firm in their cherished principles and will never relinquish them. Subjugated for a while, but not subdued Oh! when will the day of our deliverance come? But the crowning act is the emancipation of the negroes here. Every negro man, woman, and child is as free as you or I. Much more so, for they are insured protection, which is denied us, and granted more liberties. If half a dozen gentlemen assemble in the street to talk, they are dispersed by the guard, but the negroes can assemble by scores and hundreds without molestation. Some few remain with their owners yet, but will probably leave soon. The streets are lined with them. They are trying to get homes to receive their own wages, but I hope none of our citizens will encourage them. Several have been to me,

From the South. Our Southern exchanges furnish the following interesting intelligence: From Vicksburg — the shelling again commenced. The following items are from the Vicksburg Evening Citizen, of Friday: Yesterday morning the Federal ram, Monarch, and the gunboat Luther No. 3, went up the Yazoo river.
