Captain Paine of the 100th New York, with nine of his men were captured by the rebels on the night of the 4th, while on a scout near Light House Creek.
Sunday week there was a terific engagement between the gunboat Ottawa, a monitor, The Ironsides, and our works on Morris Island and the rebel forts. The rebel guns were finally silenced. The boat belonging to the Ironsides, on picket duty last Wednesday night was run down by a rebel steamer and part of the crew drowned.
