It w»* noticed o?i Wednesday uior.-ing that oue Monitor, besides the Keokuk, wapm'iesing >rom the fleet, leaving only seven Monitors e-iu the Iton sid''s remaining. It is believed that the milling Monitor was so badly injured in the action av to render it- necessary 10 send her ?o Port Iloyal for repairs. Altogether ihe evidence is complete and satisfactory that the Yankee irun-ckds, whatevor 1 other uieriis they may have, are not invulnerable. 1 In coming up the Main Ship Channel to the at tack. the Mouitois advanced in single file, tbe Pas o«ic slowly leading the way, and pushing; forward ti»u? eamo il, » i:h the hope of causing a pre mature explosion ol our i-übmriae defences.

General Beauregard himself, accompanied bv General Jordan a?-d staff officers, was u radiant and confident spectator of the fight from the Ka-> Bay battery promenade. This successful rep-.Ft and first destruction of the dreaded iron monster of the deep, must add new laurels to the t'ade’.e-is wreat a he already wears, and again unices his ewu tromph with the distinguished and so far *ucc *ss ful service* of Gen.

Her arnjataenl consisted of two fifteen inch Diblgrens—one iu each turrat.- Thus cods one of tbe boasted invulnerable fleer, which it bn« long been trumpeted forth, could no? be sunk bu? wouai demolish and wipe out everything op posed their progress. The resuH so lar hue tinted our people ar.d given lb? L’gbes* Rsti3i«ctioc to our o- iitary eom tnander?. Whether it wKi prove a*, equally satif factory *0 the enemy remains to be seen. It is tv own that savpral others oF the fleet, *a:d ‘o bare bren fen in ii’rtiber, that made the attac* were severely injureii. We learn froru goo*l arabottty that the di-tance of the Monitor* Iron* I«>rt Sumter during the en gagement was no r ever eight hundred yards. The steamer Passaic was the leader, and not the Keo kuk, As »t first reported. The latter i° said t.r» have ec-n th* <*••«: to come into line, and the lust •ro ng oat. ot ! flo Monitors and *hc Ironside* reported at Headquarters as still inside the bar Vfodnesday tr,nrr.ing. A later report in the after noon s'.ated that ll:esp vessels had gone out°’de, e: f eight turreted Monitors were seen sieaming’ ec-u-%. apparently bound to Tort Koval. Jt was thought tbat they remained inside during tbe nic>t? and fofowiug morning to render assistance to fbe Keokuk, but finding all their efforts to save her Unless, they abnudoned her and left as above stated. In th* evening, however, the seven tar reted monsters appeared, aud it is believed they gone round to Sfeono to svmi the hea vy blow that prevailed at the bar during the ai;er noon. The nondescript, or ’* Yankee Devil, ’’ for clear | lug the channel, wa® washed aehore ou Morris 5 1«1- |tnd Wednesday, and is now in onr possession, it is described as an old . cow ii-.e vessel, painted j fed- w *th a long protruding beak and jutting iron prongs or claws, intended for the removal and bursting of torpedoes. It whs attached to the i Fa?s.»ie, the leading vessel, and Lnanagud by her • during the engagement. it is also reported that two of the small boats | belonging to the Keokuk Lave been secured bv ’ our men ou Morris' Island. It is harJiy probable that the enemy, after his injuries and eipcrience received in the attack o! : will be ready for another trial very soon, ; ;i at ci.il, espee.ii y in the same tilrection. It is a curious coincidence of war that the Com manders Generals Beauregard, Ripley, Colonel ; Rhett, It. Cos!.
