In the assanit of the 1th instant but one bri- gade, and thata very small one, under com- mund ol Gen. Strong, were engaged; in that of last evening & whole division, couristing of three full brigades, were drawn out in line to tuke part in the action, but on account of some misunderstanding of orders but two actually prrticipated in the fight. Three-fourihs of the island is in our posses- sion: five batteries have been erected, in all containing nine 30-pound and four 20-pound Warrotts, and ten 10-inch mortars on the lett, With two vU-pourd Parrotis t'n 10-inch mor- tars, and three full batterics o1 lightartillery on te right. BLOODY THE ACTION OPENS, At twelve end 4 half o’clock onthe afternoon of Saturday Admiral Dahlgren signaled that he Teady, and in a poments the More tauk, (his flagship,) the Ironsides, the Catskill, the Nantuckel, the Weehawken and the Patap- sco moved into Jine, and commenced harling their heaviest shot and shel] sround, wpon and within the fort, and, with intervals ot but a very few minutes, continued this terrible fire until one hour after thesun had gone down. During all the afternoon the iron flee: lay about one mile cff trem the fort, but just at the close of the engagement, and buta few momeuts be- fcre the first assault was made by Gen. Strong, the Admiral ran the Montauk directly under the guns of Fort Wagner, and within 2+0 yards, fired round after round from his 15-inch gun sending. as every shot struck, vast clouds of sand, mnd and timber high up in the air, mak- ing one huge sand heap of that portion of the fort facing the sen, and dismonnting two of the heaviest gans. EFYECT OF THE FIRING, ri‘rs and prisoners tell us that Fort Wagener mounts thirteen rifled guns, of heavy calibre, but during all this fufious hombard- Teent by land and sea ehe condescended to re- ply with but twe; one npon the whole fleet of | jron-clade, and one upon the entire line of land batieries She may possibly have fired one sbotto our one hundred, but I-think even that number isa jargeestimate. There were no casualties on the monitors or Tronsides, and but one man killed and one slightly wounded within the batteries. The firing was almost entirely from cur own side. With the most pewerlul glass but very few men couid be seen in the fort. FALL OF THE FLAG OF THE FORT. , At half-past two @ shot from one of our guns on the left cut the halyards on the flag staff, and brought the rebel flag fluttering te the eround. In a moment, almost before we had begun to ask ourselves whether they had really lowered their fiag, and were upon the point of surrendering or not, the old red battle-flag, which the army ot the Potomac has so often had defiantly shaken in its face, wasrun up abont ten feet above the parapet, a little cluster of men rallied around it, cheered: waved their hate and then disappeared, and were not again seen during the day. Fort Sumter, the moment the rebel flag came to the ground, sent a shotover our heads to assure us that it had been lowered by accident and not by design, In this shot she also de- sired usto distin¢tly understand that before Fort Wagner surrendered she herself would haveto be consulted. With the exception of this little enisode, almost profound silence, so fir us thereb-] garrison themselves could main- tain it, prevailed within the fort. A heavy cloud of smoke and sand, occasioned by our consiantly exploding shell, hung over the fort ali the afternoon, and it was only when the wind drifted it away that we were able to sce the smount of damage we had done. Ina few hours what had been the smooth, regular lines of the engineer, and the beautiiul sodded em- bankments,became rugged and irrreg ular heaps ot sand, with grea} gaps and chasms jn all the sides of the tort exposed to our fire. A CESSATION OF THE STRITE. The afternoon passed, and the heavy roar of the big guns on Jand and sea gradually ceased. Slowly and sullenly the Monitors, with the ption ef the Montauk, moved back to the »chorage-ground of the morning. ‘For eight hours the Monitors and the Iron- sides haye kept up a continuous fire, and Fort ‘Wagner has not yet surrendered. For eight hours fifty-four guns from the land batteries bave hurled their shotand shell within her walls, and still flaunts the red @attle flag in our tace. THE FORT MUST BE STORMED. “Something must be done, and that, too, quickly, or in a few days we shall have the whole army in Virginia upon us,” said an of- ficer high in command. « We must storm the fort to-night and carry it at the point of the bayonet.” n & few moments signals were made from the top of the lookont, and soon generals and colonels commanding divisions and brigades were seen galloping to the headquarters of the commanding general. Afew words in consul- tation, and Generals Seymour, Strong, Steyen- son, and Colonels Putnam and Montgomery are seen hastening back to their respective commands. Officers shout, bugles sound, the word of command is given, and soon the sol- diers around, upon and under the sand hills of Morris Island spring from their hiding places, fall into line, march to the beach, are organ- ized into new brigades, and in solid column stand ready to move to the deadly assault. TRE STORMING COLUMN. Gen. Strong, whe has so frequently, since his arrival in this department, braved death in its many forms of attack, was assigned to the command of the ist brigade. Col. Putnam, of the 7th New Hampshire, took command of the 2d, and Gen. Stevenson the 3d, constituting the reserve. The 54th Massachusetts (colored) regiment, Col. Shaw, was the advance regi- ment of the Ist brigade, and the 2d South Car- olinu, (negro,) Col. Montgomery, was the last regiment of the reserve. The selection of the Sith Massachusetts to lead the charge was un- doubtedly made on account of the good fight- ing qualities it had displayed a few days before on James Island. THE COLUMN ADVANCES—A TERRIFIC FIRE— OFFICERS KILLED. Just as darkness began to close upon the Scere of the afternoon and the evening, Gen. Stroug rode to the front and ordered his bri- gade, consisting of the 5ith Massachuseits, (cclored regiment,) Ool. Shaw: the 6th Con- necticut, Col. Chatfield; the 4sth New York, Col, Barton; the 3d New* Hampshire, Col Jackson; the 76th Pennsylvania, and the 9th Maine, Col. Emory, to advance to the as- sault. Atthe instant, the line was seen slowly ad- vuncing i the dusk toward the fort,-and be- tore a d6uble-quick had been ordered, a@ tre- mendous fire from the barbetse guns on Fort Sumter, srom the batteries on Cummings Point, aud from all the guns on Fort Wagner, opened upon iv The guxs trom Wagner swept the beach, and those from Sumter and Cummings Point enfiluded it on the lett.

ANOTHER ASSAULT AND REPULSE—DESPER- ° ATE FIGHTING. The first brigade, under the lead of General Strong, tailed to take the fort. It was now the turn of Col. Putnam, commanding the second brigade, composed of the 7th N. H., the 62d Ohio. Col. Steele, the 67th Ohic, Cc. Vorhees, and the 100th N. Y.. Col. Danely, to make the attempt. But alas! the task was too much forhim. Through thesame fire he led hismen to, over and into the fort, and for an hour held one-half of it, fighting every moment of that time with the utmost desyeration, and, as with the first brigade, it was hot until he himself fell killed, and nearly all his officers wounded, and no reinforcements arriving, that his men fell back, and the rebel shont and cheer ot vic- Chatfield, Col. Kar*on, j tery was heard above the roar of Sumter and | the guns from Cummings Point. In this second assault by Col. Putnam’s | brigade, Cel. Turner, «f Gen. Gilmore’s staff, steod at the side of Col. Putnam when he fell, she with his voice and sword urged on the utit was tco late. The third brigade, Gen. Stevensor’s, was not on hand. It was madness for the second to remain longer under so deadly a fire, | and the thought of surrendering ina body to | the enemy couid not tor a moment be enter- tained. To fight their way back tothe entrench- ments was all that could be done, and in this retreatmany a péor fellow fell, never to rise again. Without a doubt msny of our men fell from okrown fire. The darkigess was so intense, the roar of artillery so loud, the flight of grape and canister chot so rapid and destructive, that it was absolutely impossible to preserve order in the ranks of individual companies, to say nothing of the regiments. 4 More than half the time were in the fort the fight was simply a to-hand one, as the wounds received by mar clearly indicate. Some haye sword thrusts, sone are hacked on the head, some are stabbed with bryonets, and i 1ew were knocked down with the butt end of muskets, but recovered in thme to get away with swollen beads. There was terrible fighi- aug 10 get into the fort, and ternble fighting to pet out of it. The cowardly stood no better chance for their lives than thé fearless, Even if they surrendered, the shelf of Sumter were thick!y falling around them;in the darkness, and @s prisoners they could Rot be safe. until victory, decisive and unquestioned, rested with one or the other belligerent. 3 CLOSING SCENE, ‘The battle is over; it is midnight; the ocean teach is crowded with the de&d, the dying, the wounded. It is with difficulty yon can urge your horse through to Lighthonse Inlet. Fains lights ave glimmering in the sand holes and rifle. pits’ to the right as you pass down to the beach. In these holes many a poor wounded ard bleeding soidier has laid down to his last sleep. Friends ure bending over them to stanch their wounds, or bind up their shat- tered limbs, but the deathly glare from sunken eyes tells that their kind services are all in Vain. In this night assault, and from its commence- Ment to its close, Gen. Gilmore, his staff, and his volunteer aids, consisting of Col. Littlefield, of the 4th South Carolina, and Majors Bannis- terand Stryker, of the Paymaster’s department, were constantly under fire and doing all in their power to sustain the courage of the treops and urge cn reinforcements. All thet human power could do to carry this formidatle earthwork seems to have been done. No one would have imagirfea in the morning | that so fierce a cannonade from both the navy and the batteries on shore could fail to destroy every bomb-proof the rebels had erected. But the moment our men touched the parapets of ihe tort, 1,300 men streamed from their safe hiding place, where they had been concealed during the day, and fresh and strong, were prepared to drive us back. We then found to our sorrow that the 15-inch shot trom the | Monitors, even when fired at a distance of but 1.50 yards, had not injured them in the least. Only the parapets of the forthad been knocked into sand heaps, In their proper places I forgot to mention that the gunboats Wissahickon, Japt. Davis, the Chippewa, Capt. Harris, the Paul Jones, Capt. Buger, and the Ottawa, were also en- guged in the bombardment at long range, and that during every day of the week, from the i¢th to the 17th, had been more or less engaged with the work. The «mount of shell thrown into Fort Wag- ner would almost build another Lronsides, Still Later. Beravrort, July 22.—By the Ben De Ford, from Morris Island, we haye intelligence up to this morning. The Monitors are still daily at work upon Fort Wagner, but seem to effect nothing beyond preventing the rebels from Tepairing the work. From au officer on board the Ironsides, 1 earn that in the attack of last Saturday seven hundred shots were fired from that vessel, and about the same number from the Monivors. As the fort made but a feeble return, of course no damage was sustained by the Ironsides. Lieut. Co]. Hall, Provost Marshal General for the Department of the South, met the com- mander at Fort Wagner under a flag of truce on Sunday morning, in order to arrange in re- gard to the burial of our dead. The rebel offi- cer would not treat with him, but told him that the dead would be buried, and the wounded cared for as well as their own. Prisoners taken avd deserters who have come in within the past few days, say that the rebcl loss during the fight of Saturday was quite three hundred; that atone gun there were jour detachments of men shot down; and that late in the afternoon our fire became go hot that the officers commanding companies could not lead or drive their men out of the bomb- proofs. The fighting qualities of the 6th Conf€cticut andthe 4eth New .York they speak in the highest terms of, and say that@the prisoners from these regiments will be unusually well treated. They also admit that the 5ith Massa- chusetts fought well, but say allthe prisoners captured from that regitent will be sold into slavery. They were allsent into Charleston the same night of the attack. P.S.—By the Cosmopolitan, jnst in from Morris Island,I learn that an exchange of prisoners jg to take place to-morrow.
