From Charleston.

Charleston, Nov. 16th.
--The monitors ceased firing about 11 A. M. One monitor got aground during the engagement and was well peppered by our batteries. She got afloat again and returned to her position. A flag of truce was sent up at 3 P. M. and refused. A heavy fire from Gregg and Cumming's Point and two monitors, alternately, has been kept up on Sumter all day. No casualties are reported.

Two negroes of the 54th Mass reg't, captured at North Edisto, were brought up to-day. They give a terrible account of Yankee treatment on Morris Island. Their regiment has lost over 400 by sickness and death.
