The Fall of Charleston Deemed Certain, The Grand Attack to Have Taken Place Last Sunday, the 16th inst., Rev Rev ae Fortaess Monrom, August 16, 1863. ‘The steamer 8, R, Spaukding arrived this morning from off Charleston. ‘The Spanking reports having left Morris Island at ten @elock on Friday morning. On Thursday evening tho Monitors were all stripped ‘and prepared for action, and at daylight on Friday the batteries on Morris Island opened their fire, which lasted an hour of two, and then ceased. ‘The Monitors did not fire a shot, and as s00n as the battories coasod firing the Monitors put. up awnings. No explanation is given for this movement. ‘The strongest confidence is expressed of a favorable resolt. Our informant says that during the short engagement a Friday morning he saw several shots strike Fort Sumter, causing bricks and mortar to fly profusely. One of our officers, who left Morris Island on Friday, says that upon receiving instructions in regard to convey- img news by Quartermaster Dunton, he asked him, ‘‘What ‘eball I tell our friends at Fortress Monroe?” The Quarter. master reptied, ‘Tell them that a great battie will come o@ bore on Saturday, the 15th, or Sunday, the 16th imst., and that wo shall be victorious.” Mr. W.

In the carly part of last week seve- val steamers wore sent from here to Charleston—for what object it is immaterial to mention—which were expected to return in a few Gays; and, ass matter of course, every one thought that by this source wo would receive later and more direct intelligence. At a quarter past four o'clock yesterday afternoon the steamer New York, Captain H.W. Chisholm, came to amchor at the Quarantine ground, outside of the naval guardsnip, and was compelled to remain there until a wargeon made asanitery examination of the vessel, to Prevent sickness of @ contagious nature being brought fate the harbor. As soon as the familiar proportions of this favorite steamer were sighted a large crowd asvem- Died oa the wharf, anxious to bear the latest news from the Southern “‘seat of war.” It was not until after six @olock that the medical examination of the Néw York was concl:ded, and the ship's officers allowed to come ashore. Then was the real disappeintmest felt, To all the imterrogations put to the newly arrived persons om the New York the answer ‘that, everytRing was progressing well’ was given; but at the same ime the fact leaked out that before leaving Charleston the officers and crews of vessels are admonished, if not sworn, to maintain the strictest se oresy regarding affairs there, Still, in the face of all this, gnerggtic er tet te if there ia an: {% out somehow or other. The intelligence | dia re- esive only confirms what | stated in previous letters from bere, viz: that the army and navy are bard at work ‘Wuilding intrenchments, with a view to batter down Fort Bumter, Fort Wagner gives our men considerable troa wie.

Tam arsured that Sumter sim a bad plight. Our heavy and tong range guns art playing havoc on tts walls, and it 4s sated that the site expoerd to ovr baiterivs is already | breached. If this is the case the citadel whence the gal- | Jaci Major Robert Anderson mado the first urilliant de- | feuce of our glorious #iarry banner, at the outbreak of \ i this anboty and ‘cruel war,” i doomed, and the days of Charlerton are numbered. ‘Tue New York loft Charieston a little after five o'clock @m Friday morning, acd arrived here at a quarter past four.
