From Charleston.

Charleston, Nov. 5 P. M.
--Slow firing to-day from two monitors and the land batteries. Five hundred and eighty- seven shots were fired from sunset on Wednesday to sunset on Thursday, out of which one hundred and twenty-five missed. No casualties up to 7 o'clock this evening.

Another iron-clad, supposed to be the Atlanta, came in from sea and joined the fleet inside to- day. The Ironsides still remains quiet. Three monitors were observed taking on ammunition to day. A prisoner says ‘"the Ironsides cannot go North, nor take part in the bombardment. Her iron plates were all loosened by the explosion of the torpedo and they have ever since been kept steadily at the pumps."’
