During the early part of yesterday affairs were comparatively quiet upon Morris Island. About 11 o'clock, however, the firing recommenced and continued throughout the day, ^ though it was far less spirited than on the three proceeding days. The shelling of Battery Wagner was resumed bv two wooden gunboats, one of which was said to be the steam revenue cutter Bibb. One of the Monitors had disappeared yesterday morning, and none of the others participated in the fight. B; t tery Wagner replied leisurely to the gun boats, and Fort Sumter maintained its occa-l sional fire of shell uf)on the Yankees at the south end of Morris Island. Yesterday evening it was reported in the city that the steamer Gabriel Manigault, while in the creek he twecn Morris and James Island, had been struck and burned by some of the enemy's shells.?Mercury of Tuesday. from morris island. There was little change in the condition of affairs yesterday. Tiirec of the enemy's wooden gunboats kept up slow shelling of Batter)' wagncr all the afternoon," which was slowly re plied to by our guns at the Battery, and also at Fort Sumter. It was reported in the city last evening that the Yankees had been shelled from their position on Black's Island, hv a battery of ours % near Sccessionvillc; but of this we have no confirmation up to the time of our going to press.

Shannon, for a period not exccedin one month. The Act of the Legislature prove insufficient to the procurement of the labc asked for by the Confederate authorities. Th Executive of the State is, therefore, reluctautl constrained to call upon the patriotic, wh liave made already'so many sacrifices, to com again to the aid of the State. This call is no made without the fullest knowledge on th part of General Beauregard and the Exec utivc that* the need is most pressing.

Tbc safety of tin State may, and the lives of many of our gallan men in the field will, depend upon the liiannc in which this call is responded to. A discreet overseer to every fifty hand hould be sent. The hands should bring spade find shovels, which will be returned, and b supplied with three days cooked rations. The llailroad agents at the Depots are re quested to issue transportation tickets, topic of which they will furnish to Major EchoU, t< whom the laborers will be reported. The Executive ventures to say the negroe will be properly cared for. Given under my hand and the seal of the Stat at Charleston, this 13th day of July, A.
