I THE STRUGGLE FOR MORRIS' ISLAND. \ j About 8 o'clock, t^io desultory caiionado Willi which the experience of u week ami made our comimmily ftmiliar was again heard. For nearly three hours tlie mum's lire was maintained with the u-u.il j deliberation ; l>ut about eleven o'clock it I was noticed that the reports crime in far | more rapid succession. Liy noon it became j well understood tli.it the foe was resolved j t<? subject our position to an ordeal much ' more severe than any which, up to thai 1 time, it had encountered. At that h'nir, as ' we learn by accounts from Morris' Island, I the converging fire of the* enemy agiiii-*t t._ " I it - ' " " ' mc uuncij uau uecome truiy H'arim. rive Monitors, the frigate Ironsides,seven wood- j en gunboats, with the land batteries wlneh : the Yankees had thrown up on the lower t portion of the island, kept up ^ponstant i pun of sd>otand shell into our works. No j less than sixty-five heavy euns and ei^ht j mortars are known to have been in play j against us. At. one time, so rapid was the fire that, t! e reports averaged twenty seven i per minute. One of the Monitors lay I northeast of Battery Wagner and two to I the southeast, while the others, with the Ironsides, kept a position nearly opposite f l.? ..?? I?. > it.v; Ul llic UilUei'V. J IIU WOdUtll gunboats manoeuvred at some ^utarir.c outside the lino of "tureetted nid^m-rs," relying chiefly upon their long r^ng<^ rifled siege guns. There were two Vanl<ee?batteries on Morris' Island^ponc, consisting oftwo guns aud a mortar, was located f\t Craig's Ilill, within eight hundred yards of our battery ; tlie oilier was beyond Graham's House, t:nd ha<l an armainent of eight rifled shell guns. It is estimated that during tho day, no less than nine thousand I shells were fired 3t tlic battery. *- * * * ' * * For cloven consecculive hours tlic bombardment raged with more or less violence. About dusk tho fire, which during tho afternoon hud been incessa'nt (probably with the desfgn of demoralizing onr in- n and unfitting them for the expected nighi's work,) began to slacken considerably, and at dark ceased almost entirely. The results, tiius far, had been of a character to give us good cause for encouragement and pratulation. The damage to our Battery was significant and of a kind "eas-ily and i opccunj reparaum. i im OolllU?pro'Ji-^j | had allordod efficient protection to : large j | portion of the garri on, ami our casualties I at seven o'clock, p. n.., worn four killed*, and fourteen wounded. Of the enemy'* losses frori) our lire, if any, we have, of. co?rse, no trustworthy account. Foil Sumter, v.hi^.h bora a part, in the acli'-n,' sent several shells into the Craig llill Hat-" I teries, and also into t!iO camp of the eiemy'i j about three and a half mileo distant, it is j I believed, with good effect. .1 THE NIG III' ATTACH* J At a few minutes before eight o'clock | our pickets gave notice, that the encrnv, in I heavy force was moving to the assault. | ! The attack was not unexpected, and our [ men, though much jntled by the fut'gues ! and exposure of the dav, sprang to their ! nhira, ...wi 'in |,...vn.v> ?> cvni ?**V? HiKVa I IIC VIH IIH | advanced in tvro columns of about :V,000 J men each, the whole under tlso command i c.f Urig. Gen. Strong. Tho column which i 'attacked u*jr rigl't. was vomposed ])artia!ly ; of negro titiopir, who were put i;: 5,1:3 ad- , vance. On our left, tho other column j advanced with spirit, under a severe lire ; I from the Dablgren guns and columhiads cf ' ! Fort Sumter. As the column advanced j | at the double-quick, the guns of Battery j Wagner also opened. When the enemy j had leached a point uboiit sixty yards ; ! distant, our infantry, posted behind the j ! parapet, poured' a g>Ming fire into tho! i moving masses; tlie Yankees, nevertheless# I iu c.nis deral'le force, succeeded in gaining^ ! the tronch, an 1 bsgan to climbe up thei sides of the Battery. At this moment Liut. VVatio.-*, of Baker's batteiy, who wnsJ in charge of two brass lio\vite;-s butanging^ to a detachment of artillery under Gapt.^ DePasa, of While's battalion) opened al Hiking fire which Vjept tlie trench, phiy-4 ing terrific havoc in the ranks of the assail-^ ants. The howitzers had beys assigned to this position whicli they occupied so I advantageously for us, nt the instance o" v^oi. nairis, oi (tie Engineers, all Hie horses belonging (o the section having been put horsda comh'iL during the day. Twice the enemy was driven ha this part of our works (the left,) and ilia trench fille i with the enemy's dead attest the severity of the conflict, there. In the centre of onr lines a v.tnall body of j the enemy succeeded in gaining ? lodgjfient in a salient, the gun of wbiuh bad buen disabled. Here they maintained their position for more tban an hour. A fialUnt but unsuccessful altemot was made to dislodge tliem, in wliicb Capl. Ryan fell, and it was not until.a small force of Georgians bad ascendod tho magazine and thus gained a position to command the sailenl that the audacious (Yankees surrendered. At the time thut this occurred tho firing elsewliQre bad censul,nnd the .Georgiaus accomplished tbeir purpose without firing a gun. The movement by which this was effected was undertaken ill the suggestion ..r n.A t i?t. v* wi. xxurrid. THE RELATIVE LOSSES. The fight IdSied fr*m 8 until lip. m., and.waa of a desperate character throughout. The enemy's lessen were very heavy. II 6 killed and woun led must hare been* at least 1500. Tha number of his dead left on the field an I buried by us yesterday exceeded GOO. We captured over 200 priEoner-?, including a few of the negro troops. Our own Josses .were comparatively li?<l?t. It is estimated that our killed anu- vounded will not exceed 100. Among these, however. were some valuable officer-', such as Lieu^nant Colonel Simkins and Captain Tatum, of the 1st S. O. Infantry, and C.ipt. Ryon, of llie Chorleston Baitalfonj killed, and Major Uainpey, of the Charleston Hat* ta!ior>, severely wounded.-^Mercury. "1: ?? r?i'<i Florida Itbms.?Gov.

Noi man is so ignorant a:>to suppose it owing | to a want ol ooi.fi lcnco in our national j currency. Tho cause does not lio in tli3 depreciation of Confederate notes; it is occasioned by tho scarcity of gold and silver within tho Confederate lines, and this :?caiciiy has been occasioned by blockade running. Confederate notes will n< t |>urchn?o goods at tho Worth ; they wi 1 nut even pay tavern bills there; nor yet defray travelling expenses afi?w leaving the j Confederate ports.

Ilence,. large premiums nre oflVrcd Ibr if. and every steamer going out from a "Confederate port1' contributes to tbe comparative depreciation of our pape r currency just in proportion to tbe amount of specie which she carries i .cut.

More cotton has left the port of GharhMon, alone, for foreign niaikets, within the last four months, than has been raised in the whole Confederacy during the last two year-*. | Tt is quite o.vv to sec how this tiling will end.
