Charleston, Oct. 18.
--This is the hundredth day of the siege.
Everything is very quiet.
The weather is delightful.
[third Dispatch.]
Charleston, Oct. 18.
--Our batteries keep up their usual fire, the enemy making no response.
It is believed, however, from close scrutiny and reconnaissance that they will open fire shortly. From a reliable source I learn that the Ironsides has been in a leaking condition ever since the torpedo explosion, and that her pumps are kept constantly working to keep her free. Some reports say that Glassell and Sullivan are still prisoners on board the Ironsides, and are treated kindly, having been paroled and given the liberty of the ship. The enemy award them great credit for courage and audacity.
Commander Demariceaux, of French ship Tisophone, who is now in this city, is reported to be a cousin of the Emperor Napoleon. The Tisophone will probably come up to the city.
