Theso roconnoispances have established tho fnot that iho enemy have givon up iho idea of dofendinLC ihcir littoral, for thcir guns havo been removed inland, and nothing; but Ihcir oarthworks remaiii. I learn from unquciUinallu nnthority that a panic lia.s rcigneil in Savanriiih ever sineo our vio'.ory. Tho woinon and childrcn havo left llio ;i(y and tled into the inteiior of tlio Slnlo, and so (reut was tho influx of striingers into August that the Mayor ha.s s.sucd a {iroclamntion against furlher iuwnigratioii, and hundreds of families are noyv camping around.

Snflice it to ay, tho Generáis in cotnmand consider they will be able to hold this land gainst 50,000 men - an army which the South will fiad a diíík-ully in detnilinar for Hütoii Ifea I, is it uiil hortly ba liit in a nuirifeer of different placea BÍiBitltno !Oinly.

Thu oly niKportant oveüt of real interest octturrsner n thu interval is the eapture of Tybec ïsfand, which foll into our pojisession yestoiday. Next to the tak in g; of Ililton Ilead the ac((iiifition ol' thia phioe, in a strategie jioint of view, was tl. o most important top that the insurgent fono bere could possibly have takon. Knowing ihe value of the loca'ion in a naval point of view, it was nnlicipateid that stout resista n;o would be made by the rebels to rat ai n it in thoir teepi.ng'. Ever f-inea our arrival thero have been indications of aetivïty at this point, and it was beüeved that tho enemy wero iiiöiéasing the stiTiigth of their fiirtiáeatíiunA übere.

Notwilhstanding the reporls of a bolligerent char ie er, it was detennined to tako the place, and it was taken, but with a. celenty and easo vviikly dirt'orent Ir )m that antidpated. Wiih a view to test the feelint;: and disposition of tho enemy, three shdjs tfiire thrown from ono oi sJjips, but tfoey met th no rexpcoae.
