It appears also that a number of the residents ef the city ‘were disposed to aid the forces of tho United States government, for on the samo day we ‘ind published the following paragraph:— . A RINT. ‘We cannot apply and exhibit too much vigilance at this time against treacherous and improper intercourse with the enemy, and the transit, by sea or land, of suspicious persons. On the next day a public printed call was issued to the ‘eotton planters, in which it was stated that it was the daty of all planters to display more than ever their patriotiem and devotion to their country.

It was generally stated im Charleston that eome boats from the Lincoln fleet wore sounding out Stono ‘dar on Friday, the 16th, thus breaking Jeff.

On the 19th @ courier arrived from Battery Isiand, and Drought the news that the enemy was making « demon- stration in that neighborhood. in the afternoom the @teamer Marion, Captain Flynn, reached the city from Stono river, and brought the details of the movements of the Yankee gunboats im that stream.

One of them, while pase- ing in, got aground, and remained so; the three others succeeded in entering the harbor, and immediawiy opened @ vigorous fire of shell upon Cole's Island. Previous to the appearance of tho gunboats the defensive works on Cole's island bad, by order of the rebel General Pemberton, been disman. tled and the guns removed.

Cole’s and Battery Islands ‘Were evacuated, everything movable being carried off and the barracks on the latter island burned. In the afternoon the boats passed through the unfinished piling tos point above Battery Island. At night one Sergeant Wilson was caught by the rebel pickets in the act Of deserting. It is said that two heavy guns were aban- doned on the outer lines of defonee. The general opinion Of the rebels was that haif a dozen heavy guns on Cole’s Island could have kept our boats out of the river; but we doubt if anything the rebels could erect woulda be adle to resist the attack of our ‘Jack Tars.”” ‘The rebel journals, while describing the above facts, ‘admit the following :— By the of Stone, only James’ Island inter- venes between the enemy and the city of Charleston, from which they are distant etght miles as the crow flies. On the following day (the 21st inst.) @ party from the Coast Survey steamer Bibb, Captain Boutelle, made a significaat capture some five miles further up the Stono, When Messrs.

Cocking his pistol he boldly ran up and demanded that the indi- vidual should surrender. His request was reluctantly complied with, and the chivalrous South Carolinian laid down his shooting iron. [deut. J. H. Gillis, commanding the gunboat B. B. Haley made a reconnoissance on Thursday, the 224, up Bohicket creek, which empties into North Edisto river, to a point two miles beyond Rockyille—a picturesque little village om Wadmolaw Island. Lieut. Rhinds, of the Crusader, and Brigadier General Wright, together with several mem- bers of his staff, were ou board. As they came in sight of the town a few mounted pickets were to be seen, but the previous exploita of the Hale on the Dawho river had evidently taught them discretion, and they scampered away. A landing was made at Rockville, but no new facts were developed on this visit, and Lieutenant Gillis returned to Ediste without an opportunity to pay bis re- spects to the secosh through the medium of shot and shell.

Our forces at that point, al- though inferior in numbers, held the enemy in check until reinforcements arrived, when the enemy retreated to their boats, the Confederates pursuing them. It was thought the engagoment would be resumed last night or this morning. ‘two Confederates are reported to have been killed. Col. Walker’s horse was shot under him at Secession- ville.

The onemy landed from their gunboats yosterday morning, one thousand to fifteen hundred strong, and suddenly advanced towards the line of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, They bad advanced as far as Vid Pocotaligo, about a mile anda half from the road, when they wore met by the Rutledge Mounted Riflemen, num- bering ninety men, whon a sharp skirmish ensued. The riflemen, being the only troops, held the Yankees at bay for some time, fighting them at short range across the old road. Just before reinforcements arrived the enemy made a precipitate retreat in the direction of their gun- oats, pursued by Colonel Walker, with a body of cavalry, who came upon the ground just as the enemy retired. The Rutledge Mounted Riflomen, who, our informant says, had all the first of the fight on our side to them. selves, lost one man killed and three wounded, with one or two taken prisoners by the Yankees, who are re. ported to have had three men killed. Colonel Walker, of the cavairy, had his horse shot under him, ‘The appearance of the enemy at that point was sudden and unexpected, and their retreat ao precipitate that our troops did not have a chance to punish their temerity. ‘This movement was no doubt a foint to draw our force from Charleston; for, if they seriously intended to get poasossion of the road, their offort was a vory feeble one. ‘The conduct of the Rutledge Rife corps is spoken of in high terms of praise.
