Since Monday last (10th) events before Charleston had been rather monotonous, We and shot with the rebels night and day, with probably but little damage toeither party. The enemy's object was to retard General Gil- | more’s siege worka on shore; but all have been perfected for some days. j The intention was to open on the 13th, but it was abandoned on account of some difficulty as to the quality of the army ammurition, and owing to the serious indisposition ¢f General Gilmore, He, however, is much better, and the opening of the heavy siege work will com- mence at daylight to-morrow. The shore batteries, in getting the range ot their guns yesterday aud the cay belore, lmocked three holes in the walls of Fort Sumter. r The general impression prevails that tha Tebels will evacuate that fort, and will blow it up as soon as the assault commences. Out ot nearly thirty gune on tiie parapet ten days ago. only six now remain. The larger number of | those in casemates had previously disappeared. | The rebels have erected a line of earthworks amile long on James Island, trom Fort John- son to Secessionville, although, as yet, bat faw guus have been mounted. This is supposed to be the destination of the guns taken trom Hort Sumter. Our picket boats arrived from Fort Sumter | report great activity among the rebels every night, with schooners, steamers, etc. The weather continues fine, with a calmsea, znd most favorable for our operations. The air is hot, but & good sea breeze and occasional thunder showers cool the air. Everything is now in readiness, on sea and ehore, and all are looking forward to the work Of to-MOrTOW As certain Of complete success. Reiaforcements continue to arrive daily. quite a large army is now on the islands. On Wednesday night the revels Opened on our works with grape and canister. On information received from two euilers who deserted, we lost two killed and two } wounded. The Moniters, however, soon silenced the rebel guns. 3 Admiral Dahlgren went on board the Pa- tapsco, joining her under the guns ot Fort | Wagner, and came near being taken off by a tew-inch shot from the fort. ‘The indications are that the rebels will de- pend upon obstructions and the interior lines of detences in the attack to come off to-morrow, The Ironsides will engage Fort Wagner and keep her silent, while the monitors and tha shore batteries engage Fort Sumter at the same | time.

August 16—5 p.m.—I learn from shore that the rebels have piled sand bags on the whart in the rear of Fort Sumter, against the rear wal, forty-five feet high, thus completely pro- tecting the magazine trom the shore batteries of Gen Gilmore. The removal of guns from the parapets of Fort Sumter, is probably from the conviction that our army batteries will silence them. There have been but two or three shots fired to-day, both parties observing the Sabbath, It is generally understood an assault will be made to-morrow, and the weather promises to be most favorable.

Monday last was the new date fixed upon by the correspondents for the grand attack, but we take it that Gilmore and Dahigren keep their own counsels as to the time, and will not enter upon the decisive assauit until their resources are tully available. THE LOST MONEY - At the Treasury Department, we hear, strong suspicions are entertained that the heavy lose of treasury notes, some $2,600,000, by the burn- ing of the steamer Ruth not long since, involved ® robbery before the vessel burned or was burned. So far, itisnot kaown how the fire Occurred, but it has been ascertained that the bill of lading describing the different packages | sistant Treasurer in St. Louis, when the money wae delivered to him, and was by that officer handed to the parties having the money in charge on the boat. The latter allege that it was burned or lost with the money. Packages of notes have been submitted to the test of fire (in the Treasury Department) as nearly as possible similar to the fire in which the money in question is alleged tohave been Larned, and the re sult of justsuch burn- ing there did not so destroy those used tor the experiment, as to render their identification impossible. If they were not stolen before the vessel was fired or caught on fire accidental- ly, the chances are tour to one that they will ultimately be recovered in such a state as will protect the Government againt loss. INSPECTION OF THB POTOMAC FLOTILLA— CAPTURE OF MAIL-CARRIERS. The staff boat Ella, accompanied by the King Phillip, arrived this morning, bringing ap Commodore Harwood, who on Thursday last lett to inspect the various vessels composing the Potomac and Rappahannock Flolilla, The Commodore was accompanied by Lieut. Lyes, Hieet captain, and was enthusiastically receiyed by the officers and crews of the boats, some of whom are very proficient in the use of small arms, and wrre equipped as marines, receiving blo with presented arms, All the boats were tound to be ia good condition and in Ane fight. ing order, The Ella bronght up two prisoners, named T. C. Bledsoe (who says he hails from Rich- mond) and Thomas J. Thompson, of this city, who were captured off Mathias Point on Sun- day night, by the Jacob Bell, crossing the river. They had a@ uumber of letters and papers in their poreession, and the bag containing them was arranged to be sunk, but they were not quick enough to aceomplish their purpose. Thompson states that he was captured a few days before the battle of Gettysburg, near Wectminster, Md., by Staart’s cavalry, and Was taken to Gettysburg, and thence across the Petomac at Williamsport to Richmond, where he was placed in Castle Thunder, and in @ few days afterwards he was released through the interposition of his brother, a rea- ident of Richmond, on the ground of his being 0 British subject. Bledsoe states that he was tired of living in Richmond and with Thompson lett that place on Saturday last, they coming out on passes, Bledsoe traveling ona pass in the name of Thempson’s brother, coming by railroad to Miliord, about 10 miles from Richmond, trom whence they traveled by horse, and crossing the Rappahannock reached Mathias Point on Sunday night and were captured as above sta- ted. They will besent to the Provost Marshal's @nd will probably be boarded at the expense of the Government tor some time to come. The letters found in their possession number about one hundred, of which quite a number are directed to partiesin this city. A section of rebel artillery, accompanied by aequadron of cavalry, are reported to be in Worthumberland county pressing men into service and seizing everything valuable to them. NAVAL ORDERS. Lieut.
