s in the tug of war, with gleaming steal and face to face. Another conjecture is, that finding an attack on the main land, via the frowning walls of Fort Pulaski, rather an impracticable affair, they concluded to concentrate their force at a more assailable point. Still another is, that the forces were originally thrown on the island for the purpose of erecting the necessary defences to control the entrance to our harbor, and having finished the work were taken back to the rendezvous on Hilton Head, or to construct fortifications at some other point. The indications on Tybee yesterday, as observed from the fort, seemed to warrant, the belief that a garrison has been left behind, sufficient in their opinion to hold the Island against any force likely to be sent against them. Saturday afternoon a large ship, equal in size to the New York and Savannah steamers was seen from the fort to enter an inlet to the South, supposed to be Warsaw, and run up several miles.

There have been buryings at Pickens, and from the manner of the funeral doings it is thought that two officers were laid to rest. [Second Dispatch.] To-day a little sail boat showed herself off the point of Santa Rosa Island, near Fort Pickens, and her impudence in coming under our guns being considered offensive, our boys were ordered to turn loose on her. She was fired on twice from Fort McRae, once from Captain Aderhold's battery and twice from Captain Clark's battery, and it was curious to see the celerity with which her navigators made a landing, abandoned their boat, and scuttled through the sand out of danger. Old Brown bore it with apparent humility, and fired no shot in response.

Since the above was put in type, we have seen a gentleman who accompanied the expedition, who informs us that we fired some 10 or 15 rounds of shell at Fort Holt--scattering the Hessians like rats. Evacuation of Tybee Island by the Yankees. The following report from the Savannah Republican, of the 2d inst., is republished because the fact was deemed of sufficient importance to be reported from that place by telegraph: Our citizens were taken by surprise the following: The steamer Ida arrived last evening about five o'clock from Tybee, bringing the latest intelligence from that quarter. Early on Tuesday night, Lieutenant Henry Williams, with a squid of the Irish volunteers, visited Tybee Island, and after placing a keg of powder in the third story of the large light house, set the wood work of the building on fire, after which they retreated to near King's Landing.

The voices of the cannon once more created the greatest enthusiasm all along the line of forts and batteries, and every one was hoping that Brown would accept the challenge and open this fire. A visit to Cairo from our gun-boats. Brief mention has been made under our telegraphic head of the firing from our gun-boats upon Fort Holt, near Columbus, Ky.-- We take the following in reference to the affair from the Columbus Confederate News, of the 2d inr gun-boats, three in number, and they started up to have a conversation with "Abraham," if agreeable to them. But as soon as they "knew by the smoke that so gracefully curled," that we were coming, they very naturally backed out and returned to Cairo. Our steamers pursued and followed them up to within sight of that awful place. An anxious crowd of thousands stood upon the eminences around our town, regardless of a rather raw day, awaiting in breathless suspense to hear the opening of t
