More Yankees Bagged on Edisto Island.

--At midnight on Friday, a body of our troops landed on Edisto Island, with a view of making a little "raid." At 8 o'clock A. M. on Saturday, they attacked the enemy's picken guard, consisting of 50 men. Our boys succeeded in killing one, wounding one and making twenty-one of the Yankees prisoners. This neat little exploit was accomplished almost without loss on our side, three of our men having been slightly wounded. The captives were brought to the city yesterday.--Charleston Mercury 31st ult.
