The Siege of Fort Pulaski!

Savannah, April 11--The enemy have again opened on Fort Pulaski, firing at intervals of about half an hour. It is supposed that their object is to prevent our garrison from sleeping.

[second Dispatch]

Savannah, April 11, P. M.--after daylight this morning the cannonade was resumed with terrific violence. The reports shook the windows in the city like an earthquakes. At 10 o'clock the enemy's fire became very slow, but our mortar field batteries were pouring shell into Tybee. Reports from the nearest accessible point state that all of our parapet guns are still in position. Nothing direct from Fort Pulaski.
