With our glasses we can see the features of the men and the flashing of their spades in the light of ‘the rising sup. They labor as if confident of checkmating us. Last night they hauled down a monstrous piece , ro- quiring sixteen horses for its transportation; but whether they have yet put it in pesition I cannot say. There was evidently @ great jollification in honor of its arrival; for the shouts and huzzas of the secesh were wafted over towards us till a late hour. 13 WAGNER BEING DIEMANTIND? Por some days past a repart’has prevailed that the revels were removing their heavy guns from Fort Wag- ner. It may be that a portion of them havo been taken around to Jamos Island for the works Jn process of construction there; but I do not credit the rumor, believed by some, that they aro Proparing to evacuate the position. It latrue that since the bombardment no flag hag waved over it, and that its Parapet has remafned, without repairs, an irregular heap of sand, hardly distinguishable from the hills and ridges which abound in its vicinity; but tho fort ie not the less serviceable on thig account. Indeed, from its rosem- Dlanoe to tho natural earthworks with which the island is covered, it may be considered more dangerous to ap- Proach than if its position were indicated by a lofty para- petor a defiant banner. We should be. likely to stumble against it almost without knowing it, were it not for the vigilant enemy lurking there. ‘THE TIRING UPON OUR TRENCTIRS is daily and nightly practised-by the enemy. The dis- charge of their artillery, though not rapid, is quite rogu- Jar, and is frequent enough to show the determined nature of their resistance. For the past three or (our days, how- ever, they have failed to inflict any casualties upon us, ‘with the exception of a single man wounded last ni; Private Horbert Bond, belonging to Company B, of the Independent battalion, New York Volunteers, was shot throngh the shoulder while going on guard. His wound was inflicted by a sharpshooter in Fort Wagner, and is very severe. A DESHRTRR from a South Carolina regiment at Cummings’ Point @ame into our lines yesterday, and gave himself up as a prisoner of war. He knows nothing of the rebel plans, or, if he does, prefers not to reveal them. He is, like all of this class who join us, “tired of the war.’ Whether he is an earnest Union lover is questionable. Liitle faith is to be placed in the statements or fidelity of thore who run away from military service merely to shirk its discipline or avoid its perils. CARTAIN GLADDING’S REMAINS, Colonel Olmstead, who commanded Fort Pulaski up to the time of its reduction, bas sent to General Gillmore an earnest request for the body of Captain Gladding, the rebel blockade runner, who died at Hilton Head some weeks since, As similar requests go forward frequently from our lines, it is understood that General Gillmore will comply with the desire of Colonel Ofmstead and forward tho remains by a flag of truce at an early day.

The position thus seoured was in the the rebel sharpshooters throughous re following ¢ay, and last evening our txenches were advanced and our entire lines were inoved forward a dis- tance of one hundred and sixty yards.

While pulling agatnat a strong ebb tide, in deeper water than the boat ought to have been, the Angio-rebel steam. er Alice, lately from Nassau, came rapidly down the har- bor and made for the launch. Mr. Haines, supposing the Alice to bean unarmed blockade runner attempting to Yun out, prepared tocapturo her, Ho fired one round from his howitzer im the bow, and, as it since appears, attempted to carry her by boarding, when a large spar which tho rebels bad rigged acroas the steamer’s bow struck the launch and nearly capsized it. In another moment the launch was under tho steamer’s wheels, and the eight men who cacaped jumped into the water. Tho others wore thrown into the water by the violent vlows on the boat from the paddigs of the stcam- er, when they found themselves ander a sharp fire from rebel riflemen stationed along tho sido of the steamer. The men seized upon the floating debris of the ‘oat to save thomsolves from drowning. Three of them were shot in this position, eight of them floated away ‘and were afterwards picked up by Ensign Porter’s boat, and the balance, including Mr. Haines, wero picked up by the rebels and made prisoners. So far as we know, then, but three oat of the boat's crew were killed or drowned; twelve men and Acting Master Haines were made prison eta. Before I close this letter I shall have obtained tho Dames of those lost. The following is a list of those not reacued by Ensign Porter’s boat;— ‘LIST OF THE MISSING OR PRISONERS. Acting Master FE.

Alone in a small boat, and liable to be run down by the Alice, he pro. ceeded tothe point where he had heard the Gring, and picked up eight men, who were pearly exhausted ond ready to give up. At the risk of attracting the rebels’ Attention he flashed bis light across the dark waters about him, and indicated to the struggling! men in bis neighborhood bis exact location, and was thereby enabled to get them in reach. The rebels on the Alico saw his aig- nals, and warped the steamer towards him.

The same steady progroes in our field operations is to bo observed, and it looks as thongh the crisis cannot be far off, Our works have ‘been pushed on towards completion without the slightest interruption, although the enemy have maintained a heavy fire of shell upon our approaches from Fort Jobn- son, their new works on James Island, Fort Sumter and batteries Gregg and Wagner. Tho logs on our side bas ‘been inconsiderable during the siege operations. OUR LINES AGAIN ADVANCED. ‘The engineers last night advanced our front lines to & point about two hundred yards nearer Fort Wagner, and before daylight they had made themselves secure against attack, The enemy kept upa heavy fire during the evening, but did not prevent theaucoess of our move- ment. Our men 4i@ their work manfully, and with a perfect disregard of the dangers of their position. Our batteries kopt the fire of Wegner down somewhat, and prevented any advance of the enemy to interfere with our fatiguo parties in the front. Groat credit ts due to the New York Volunteer engi- neers for the faithful and success(ul manner in which they have performed their duties in the siego operations; and J shall take great pleasure hereafter to notice in a more detailed manner their labors.
