Charleston, Aug. 19.

--The enemy's land batteries Rept pounding away at Fort Sumter throughout yesterday, chiefly with their heavy Parrott guns. There was comparatively little firing against Fort Wagner, on which the enemy can make no impressions whatever. A monitor engaged Wagner yesterday afternoon, but was soon driven off.

There were no casualties amongst our troops yesterday. Last night was dark and windy, and no firing took place, but at daylight this morning the enemy's Parrott guns re-opened on Sumter, firing quite, rapidly. This still continues, our James Island batteries replying briskly.
