FROM MORRIS ISLAND CONTINUED DOMDARDMENT
OF BATTERY, WAGNER.
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.
Four new vessels, supposed to he mortar boats,
had joined the enemy's fleet yesterday.?Mcrr j

STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA*
Headquarters, Charleston, July 13, 1801
To the Citizens of South Carolina:
An immediate necessity exists for tore
thousand laborers, in addition to those orderc
by Col. 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. Le

every hand lie can spare. 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.

were taken by the Confederates has ncvei
^ct been stated, except vaguely and by way o*
;oinparison. We learn, however, by a tele;rain
from Ilarrisburg, dated yesterday, that
our thousand five hundred prisoners have been
larolled by Gen. Lee, and forwarded to Ilarisburg?being
those, wo believe, which were
:aptured during the fight on Wednesday.?
Chat there were others taken during the two
ubscquent days is at least highly probable, alhough
we caunot speak in regard to this with
iny certainty.
We also learn that the forces sent by Meade
roru Gettysburg in pursuit of Lee cncounterid
his rear guard on Sunday afternoon, somevherc
in the direction of Greencastle, and
dojitcrcy, and the latter being strongly posted,
diecked the pursuit.

from Vicksburg says that the garrison
