ed from their entrenchment, met, and gallantly repulsed them. Their 12-pound howitzer being crippled, which, added to their ill-success in flanking, the galling fire of our well-aimed pieces, and their natural cowardice, caused them to withdraw, carrying with them some 20 wagon-loads of dead and wounded. They were, probably, 6,000 strong, and lost at least 300 killed and wounded. We were considerably the weaker party, and lost, killed and wounded--I know to a certainty--not exceeding 18. Capt. Reld, of the 3d Ark. volunteers, lost one--Wm. O. Blocker — killed, and one--John G. Carter — missing. They were pickets, and never did braver boys die more gallantly, Blocker continuing to load and shoot after being shot through the jaw, could not be prevailed on to withdraw to a safe place, was found today immediately in the road, whose body was at least a monitor to the murderous souls of our enemy of a fact they ought by this time to realize, that many such brave and noble youths will bloc

d after seven hours of the most terrific fighting, put them to flight.--We took at our charge 200 prisoners. Just here, I'll call particular attention to Col. John McCausland's Virginia regiment. He led the charge upon a battery, took it, and brought it within our breastworks; and lost, in doing so, 72 men, killed and wounded, out of 300 ! Such is the gallant spirit of old Virginia. Then, the 51st regiment, Col Massle's, lost in the fight, 51 out of 250; and are 56th, 41 out of 300; Col. Reld led the regiment, (its gallant Maj. Thorburn at the time very sick, and was wounded in a charge he had made.) I should have said that Col. McCausland commanded the 2d brigade, of which the 56th regiment was a part. The 96th was commanded by Major Smith, ex-Governor's son. I have not ascertained the loss of the 50th, but it was about the same as that of the others. We took three batteries and brought them inside our works. I must not fail to call particular attention to Col. Wharto

ontinue along the Confederate coast. Fifty Federals landed from the gunboat Western World, at Butler's Inlet, S. C., on the 22d inst., to destroy the salt works there, but were surprised by a cavalry company and driven off, with a lose of 12 killed and wounded.--At Pascagoula, Fla, five launches, laden with Federals, started for the shore, but as they neared the land were fired into by our troops. In the foremost boat not a man escaped unhurt, and the other boats returned to their ship. Capt. Reld, of the gun boat, then commenced shelling the town for revenge, but sent no more troops ashore.

but I don't know, sir. General.--Well, sir, perhaps, I can teach you. Now, sir, what is the name of that gentleman who had taken the oath, and while coming out of the Custom House with you, made the remark that he "would like to spit upon the Northern Yankees." Mr. A.--Mr Chas Reid. I declined to answer on my former examinant on because I had not his consent to tell, sir; but since that I have seen him, and he has given me his consent to mention his name.

He lives on Main street. General — He stated that as he came out from taking the oath? Mr. A — Yes. sir.

Mr. A — Well, General, he took it with the same view as I d

front, who likewise resisted every onset of the foe and inflicting terrible loss upon them. The fighting raged until eleven o'clock, when it ceased, except heavy skirmishing and cannonading, which were kept up incessantly all day. At one time during the morning Echols's brigade, of Breckinridge's division, gave way, but Gen. B. soon rallied his men, and at the same time Finnegan's gallant Floridians bounding forward with a yell, drove the enemy back, recapturing three pieces of artillery of Reld's battalion, which for the moment had been taken from us, and capturing, it is reported, one gun. In this affair Breckinridge is said to have lost two hundred of his men as prisoners, and the enemy took about thirty cannoneers with the guns which they temporarily captured. It is also said that the enemy were most handsomely repulsed during the day in front of Rodes and Heth on our extreme right. The slaughter of the enemy has been quite heavy, some put it as high as ten thousand. Three
