Siege Guns Within One Thousand Yards of the Rebel Fort. -_— Details of the News to the 26th Instant. as The Operations Progressing Favorably. | I Fort Wagner is ao irregular bastioned work, situated on the northern end of Morris Island, two thousand five bundred yards distant from Fort Sumter, It is composed entirely of sand, which, beyond doubt, is the best mate- rial to withstand the effect of shell. Its armament, as shown in the diagram, is six guns; but three guns have Tecently been mounted on tho sea face to aunoy the Moni- tors. On the Southern face of the work ali the obstruc- tions that engineering skill can devise have been placed 0 a8 to anmoy Our troops in case of an assault. On the Rorthern side of the work there hag been erected a mus- ketry parapet, which not only commands the approach from the northward, but enables its garrison to be shel- tered in event of our troops gaining an admittance to the interior. 1t bas its ravelins, galleries and covered ways, and upon the whole is a very formidable work. The magazine is situated In the southern centre of the sea- ward pertion of the work, and although exposed to the fire of our iron-clads, it is so well built as to defy the Projectiles which have already struck it. A FLAG OF TRUCE BOAT. Early thie morning the hospital steamer Cosmopolitan, under charge of Surgeon R. H. Bantecon, left Hilton Head , witb thirty-nine wounded rebel prisoners and five sur. geons, to take them into Charleston harbor for exchange, according to an agreement made by Surgeon Craven and Lieutenant Colonel Hall, on our part, and Gen. Heygood op the part of the enemy. ‘LIST OF 1HE KEBKL WOUNDED PRIFONERS. The following is a list of the rebel wounded and the captured surgeons forwarded on our part:— Sergt. W A.
