Destruction of a Yankee gunboat.
--The Charleston Mercury of the 28th says:‘ "We have no incidents to report this morning, excepting the destruction of a Yankee gunboat on the Combahee river. She was called the Diu Ching. A lieutenant and five men belonging to her crew were brought to the city yesterday. It appears that the boat was steaming up the Combahee, on Thursday, and goal aground, when our batteries promptly opened fire upon her; and she was burned to the water's edge. All the crew escaped excepting the six we have mentioned."
