batteries on the lower end of this island parallel to and opposite our own. They, as yet, have evinced no desire to open the ball. I do not think that the present quiet will continue much longer, but that there will soon be active operations of some sort, either a reconnaissance in force or a preliminary expedition against points concerning which we desire information in reference to the rebel forces, and their disposition. The rebels will probably not risk a visit to Folly Island. Coles's Island, also in our possession, is near Folly Island, lying further inward. Upon this island we have rejuvenated batteries which we erected last year, and find them sufficiently strong to hold the position. We also hold Kiawah Island, which is opposite Folly Island, on the other side of Stono Inlet. It is a position of not much importance since if we hold Folly Island, that is sufficient to command the harbor, and, above all, furnishes us with the proper base of operations against the re

The siege of Charleston. Charleston, Jan. 2. --Affairs are about as usual. The enemy are at work to-day repairing the damages caused by the storm.--Most of their vessels went round to the Stono. The Ironsides and four monitors rode out the gale. The enemy fired two shots over Sumter yesterday evening at sunset; having done which they respectfully lowered their flag at the report of Sumner's evening gun. There has been no further shelling of the city. [Second Dispatch.] Charleston, Jan. 3. --The enemy fired twelve shots at the city between 3 and 4 o'clock this afternoon. Our batteries replied, and the firing lasted about an hour. The Yankees appear to be making reconnaissances, with the supposed view of effecting another landing. A large number of tents are observable on Cole's Island. Everything indicates active movements in this quarter.

y outside attack. A reconnaissance made shows that the enemy have only one embrasure at battery Gregg opening on Sullivan's Island, and that is believed has been made for two small Parrott guns. At battery Cummings only one embrasure opens on Sullivan's Island, intended for a 100 pounder Parrott, to bear both on Sullivan's Island and Maffitt's Channel.--At battery Wagner five Parrott guns and two Columbiads bear upon Sullivan's Island. The number of tents both on Morris's and Coles's Islands have decreased to a considerable extent.--It is believed that nothing but a small garrison remains on the island. Five Yankee deserters from John's Island came into our lines Saturday morning at daylight, and were brought to the city Sunday evening. They were on picket when they attempted to escape. --The party at first they say consisted of seven, but it is believed two of the party were overtaken.--They stated that they came up the Kiawah river, crossed to our pickets and gave th
