From Charleston.
Charleston, Oct. 28.
--The fire on Sumter from Gregg, Wagner, and three monitors, has been incessant since 10 o'clock this morning.
The monitors drew off at seven this evening, but Gregg and Wagner are still firing rapidly from 300 pound Parrot guns.--Six hundred and seventy-nine shots have been fired at Sumter, eighty-eight of which have missed.
They were nearly all directed at the sea face.
No damage of consequence to the fort, but the sea wall is pretty well battered. The fire at Fort Johnson has not been so heavy to-day; some few shots fired on Sullivan's Island. Our batteries keep up a regular fire, making excellent shots, and surpassing the enemy in accuracy. Not a single casualty reported at Forts Sumter, Moultrie, or any of the batteries.
There has been no further firing on the city. Some of the shells thrown were picked up and found to be filled with Greek fire. The one which struck the Union Bank fell in a cistern, and the others also in water.
Heavy firing is still going on.
[second Dispatch.]
Charleston, Oct. 29.

There were no casualties, and Maj. Elliott, commanding, reports all well and in good spirits.
There was very little firing from the enemy on the other fortifications.
Our batteries kept up a regular fire on Morris Island. One gun at battery Gregg is reported to have been silenced last night by a shot from Moultrie.
