I, OLMSTEAD, Colonel First Volunteer regiment of Georgia, command- ing post. - Lieutenant Wilson was received at the wharf,and bis despafch conveyed to Colonel Olmstead. He remained in the boat until the reply was recetyed, about fifteen minutes after, when he immediately returned to Tybee and delivered ft to Genoral Hunter. Upon its contents— 80 Jaconie and soldierly—becoming known, signal was made for the first gun to be fired. Gonoral Hunter, General Benham, Genertl Gilmore, Captain Rogers and others, immediately hurried out to the batteries, where a good view could be obtained. ‘On Thursday morning, at twenty-three minutes of eight, the flre was opened by a discharge of a thirtecn- inch mortar from Battery Halleck, fired by Lieutenant Horace Porter, of tho Ordnance Department, the shell ‘exploding in the aig; and this was succeeded by a thir- toon-inch shell from Battery Stanton, which exploded short. Ina moment or two several of the mortars were discharged from the other batteries; but none of the shells were effective, the'firing being wild and the fuses too short. Three minutes after the first fire Fort Puiaski responded from a ten-inch barbette gun, the shell exploding harmlessly over Tybee Island. The'firing goon became generatdn both sides, little damage being done by either for some time, as we had not attained tho correct range, and the enomy were not quite sure of the position of our ‘battery. Soon, however, we odeerved the dust begin to fly from the pancope, betwoen tho south and southeast faces, and we were sitiffied that tho breaching betteries (Halleck, Scott, Sigel, ‘McClellan and Totten) om'Goat Point were im full phy, sending thoir rifled balls, solid ten-inch shot and -keavy ehell, with terrible effect, against the brick walls. Unfortuy nately, through some weakness of the iron’ carriages of the ten-inch columbiade, two of to columbiads which were #hrowing solid ten-inch shell were ‘yoives cried ont, “Put that man with a while to the fort and communicate with the defeated rebels. ‘The waves were runing quite high on the beach, and it ‘was difficult to get into the small boat. General Gillinore, with Lieutenant Wilson and Badean of his staff; Captain Pelouze, Inspector General of the Department of the South, who had gallamtly worked Batterios Lyon and Lincoln thronghout the fire, and severa? other offleers, gotinto the boat, which was very much erowded, and | wore about to posh off, when tho 7-ibuns correspondent, without invitation, foreod himself into the boat and weated himzelf i» Ceneval Gilmore's seat, the only one vacant, This was observed on the beach, and several hat ont!” “Put him ont; he hag no business there; hustle him out, head over hfels,” &c. But the Prioune man @id not stir, Finally, General Gillmore quietly informed him he must get out of, the boat, and ‘the man with the white hat’? jumped out, going up to his waist in the water, and getting thoroughly drenched in returning to tho shore, lo “king ike ‘a yenerable rooster after a hard rain storm. @ scene gave im~ mense satisfaction to the crowd, who laughed heartily at the well deserved treatment the 7rivune’s representative reocived. ‘When General Gillmore arrived at the south dock of the fort hesent forward Licutenant Badew, Volunteer Aid, with a white flag on his sword, Mr. Badean was met by Adjutant Hopkins, of the rebels, and Mr. Badeau stated the object of General Gillmore’s mission, General more and party then came up, and were escorted through the demi-line, and thence into the quarters of Colonel Olmstead, commanding the post. Genoral Gill- more demanded an unconditional surrendgy of the fort and rison, which was complied with. Arcicles of capitu- tion were drawn up and signed, and General Gilmore stipulated that the wounded and dead might be sent to Savannah, These articles are signed by both the con- tracting parties and sent to Gencrai Hunter, with a letter from General Gillmore, announcing the surrender of tho fort, on the auniyersary of the first day’s fire on Fort Sumter. The troops in thefort marched out and stacked their arms, and tho ofiicers surrenderod their swords and small arms to Major Jia!pim, of General Hunter’s staff, with a few remarks, as they laid down their weapons. The officers were greatly chagrined, of course, at the r& sult, but talked as boldly and defiantly ag ever. YERMS OF CAPITULATION. ‘The following aro the terms of capitulation agreod vpon for the surrender to the forces of the United States of Fort Puleski, Cockspur Iland, Georgia: Article 1.—Tho fort, armanent and gerrison to be sur- ‘rendered to the forces of the United States, Article 2.—The officers and men ¢f the garrison to be allowed to take with them all their private effects, such as clothing, bedding, books, &c.—this not to include pri- ‘yate weapons, ‘Article 3.—The tick and wounded, under charge of the hospital steward of the garrison,‘ be sont under @ flag of truce to the Confederate lines, and at the same time the men to be allowed to send:any letters they may de- sire, subject t the inspection’ef a federal officer.

Upon consultation between General MoClel'an and two division commanders it was, there- fore, dovorinined to make a more decided demonstration of attack, and accordingly, between three and four P, M., three batteries were ordered forward into the open field, and opened fire at about five hundred yards. ‘This again woke the enemy up, and he re sponded warmly for twenty minutes, and then onee more lapsed lato milence, Not deceived by this our three bat+ teries continued to play upon his position for geome min- utos longer, when word was brought to the General of the Vermont brigade that the creek was easily fordable at some distance to the right of our batteries, and Colo- nel Hyde, in command of four eompanies of the Ver- mont Third, who bad skirmished in advance of all others, was ordered to send two of his companies across the creck at the point where it was said to be only knoce-deep, to advance them to tho enemy’s left and charge the work in rear.

Except those hit, not a man of the magnificent .Vermouters wavered, but all flucly pushed on, and with one shout arose upon hank, and rushed apon the enemy with the bayonet, and fairly drove them out in utter rout and confusion, put the contest was too unequal, No supports were within proper distance; and though the enemy was driven away from the first line of pits, and the other two companies of the Third were im the water to ross, those on the other side were ordered to retreat, and did so, very relue- tantly, however, aud fighting tenacidusly at every step. ‘Once more our batteries reopened, and by their fire with great vigor until dark, Meantime the blood of the Green Mountain Poys was up, and at dusk tne Ver- mont Fourth, Colonel Siovghton, and the VermontSixth, Colonel Lord, made a brave but ineffectual attempt to pass the stream on the dam; but the enemy had the gun in bis one gun battery trained particularly upon thie Point, and they were swept back by the combined fire of that gun and the. enemy’s rifles, ‘There was considera- Die logs in the Sixth, which was in advanea. ‘The Division Genes at this tine eerste cease, and our men slept upon arms * tions they reapectively held, and beyond doubt the fight will be renewed to-day.

Anofficidl roport has been received at headquarters giving a livt of the killed and wounded in the engagement between the Third Vermont regiment and the enemy on Wednesday, mention off which was made yesterday. The information as far as received puts the killed at thirty-¢v0, andthe ‘wounded at nipety; ten of the latter will probably prove fatal. The conduct of the Vermont troops on the occasion is spoken of in the highest terms, earning for the Green Mountain Boys laurels only to be won by the brave. They drove a superior number of the enemy from their fortified position, but were forced to relinquish it’on the rebels being reinforced. The less of the ‘enemy {n this engagement must have been heavy, as the well directed fre of our artillery mowed them by acres. ‘Yesterday aftornoon, while Lieutenant 0. 8. Wagner, of the Topographical Engincers, in company with a squad of men, was making a survey of the enemy's works, a shell struck the table on which lay the papers, and, instantly exploding, the left arm of tho Lieutenant was shattered ‘end was afterwards putated. He is comfortable this morning, and no fears are entertained as to his recovery, Joreph Luther, Jr., of Bristol, belonging to the Second Rhode Island regiment, was probably fatally injured. Daniel Painter, of Berdan’s sharpsheoters, mentioned yeaterday, is dead. About one o’clock this morning the enemy in force at- tempted to cross the dam in front of our lines, evidently with the view of capturing a battery of our artillery, which had given them considerable trouble during the last few days. On the rebels making their appearance they were opened upon by a wel directed fire from a body of infantry acting a8 a reserve to the pickets, forcing them to beat a retreat, leaving their dead and wourded on the dam, which they succeeded in recover- ing before daylight. i Both parties then opaned with artillery, which Ras continued at intervals up to the present time.
