Our casualties of Monday, con6idering the terrible ordeal through which the fort and batteries pisjed, are very few, numbering some eiht or nine kil'td and from thirty to forty wounded. Fort Sumter had one man kided and thirteen wounded. Amon? the latter are Captain Jul. us Kbett, L eut. Middletcn and Lieut. Johnson, slightly. A Qaattermaster's Sergeant lo3t the fingers on one bend.

About daylight Tuesday morning the Ironsidts and four Monitors moved op ard re-opentd fire on batteriea Gregg and Wagner. One Monitor came roaad Cummings Point, took a position about three quarters cf a mite from Sumter and commenced firing upon the fort. The lat ter replied effectually, a3 the Monitor in about half an hour retreated behind Morris' Island. She wa3 not seen to fire afterward?. A little afier twelve o'clock two Monitors engaged Battery Wagner, the latter replying with vigor. About two o'clock the firing from the Alcnitors sudden ly ceased and one was observed to move eff evidently badly crippled. This finished the firing by the fleet Tuesday. The land batteries, however, kept up a rapid and heavy fire, the enemy ueincr mostly his two hundred pounder Parrotta against Fort Sumter. The bombardment of Tuesday, although severe, was not so furicu3 as the engagement of Monday. There were no casualties at Fort Sumter yesterday, and none repor ted at Battery wagner up to two o'clock.

Tub Yankee Steamer Vandekbt.lt Sunk Impor tant if true. The Mobile Tribune of Saturday says: "We have late news from Havana by the arrival of a vessel running the blockade. When she left it was ru mored and pretty generally believed at Havana that Captaia Semmes bad had an engagement with the Yan kee steamer Vanderbiit acd sank her, with a large loss of life. The V., it will be recollected, has been for a long time in search, of the "rebsl pirate," as the Yan kees designate Semmes. So confident were some people in Havana of the truth of the rumor that they were betting oa it extensively. After the above was in type, we learned that the en gagement was published in La Habana, a Havana pa per, and that it was received both from Key West and Nassau, and was believed by Yankee and other ship pers.
