Wabash, Port Royal harbor, January 4, 1862. sir: I have the honor to inform the department, that the attention of General Sherman and myself has been drawn for some time past to the design of the enemy to shut up our troops in Port Royal Island, he march (those who did any marching) from four A. M. until we met the enemy, except while crossing on to the Main. Gen. Sherman gave the orders to go to Port Royal Ferry, take the Fort, bring off the guns, feel of the enemy, and come back; and I ht way up to the handle --and say, not one but what could go to Uncle Tim, as they call him in his battery, and say, General Sherman (as Metamora) You've sent for me and I've come. Umph! if you don't want me, Why, I'll go back again. And so. Bankhead invited me with the company of Surgeon George S. Kemble, of the Second brigade, Capt. Charles E. Fuller, of Gen. Sherman's staff, and Lieut. A. J. Holbrook, on board, as he had a curiosity to show us in the shape of a present from Mrs. Chi

ire ceased. The regiment was then marched to its position in the line of battle, in rear of the fort at this point. Lieut.-Col. Graves led on the left, and Major Watson the right of skirmishers. The Major, in leading on the line, received a severe flesh-wound in the leg. I have to report that officers and men behaved with admrebel shell. One man of the Forty-eighth New-York was wounded in the leg. The names of the wounded, all belonging to the Eighth Michigan, are as follows: Major A. B. Watson, Minie rifle — ball in upper part of thigh, getting along very comfortably. Privates Ira Armstrong, Company A, shot through the lower right thigh; A. B. Mi the open field and show fight, and finally, when nobody came, retired in good order, but rapidly. They had lost one man killed, and twelve wounded, including Major Watson. Their behavior was the subject of universal admiration from the Navy and their own comrades in other regiments. No attempt was made to pursue them. Meanwhi

n the rear of Mr. John Chaplin's house, they were suddenly met by Col. Jones's regiment and four companies of another regiment. Pouring one vy were separated from their gunboats by only a strip of marsh. Col. Jones kept up the pursuit until he had nearly overtaken the enemy, when of our soldiers. The fire of the gunboats being quite severe, Col. Jones desisted from the pursuit, and retreated, leaving the Yankees hud Saturday last, was in the main correct. Our forces consisted of Col. Jones's regiment, South-Carolina Volunteers, a battalion of three compairmishers, conspicuous among whom was Capt. Tompkins' company, from Jones's regiment. These brave fellows left their mark upon the invaders,was their disappointment at finding the enemy gone. Capt. Croft, Jones's regiment, a graduate of the Citadel, occupied an advanced post onn after the fight, Col. W. F. Martin and Lieut.-Col. H. McGowan, of Jones' regiment, determined to reconnoitre the field. They galloped rapi

The enemy appearing inst then the gunboats reopened, and before General Stevens's messenger could convey his reply, that s, about five o'clock on the 31st December. Gen. Stevens's command consisted of the Seventy-ninth Hitiments of officers and men — especially of Gen. Stevens, for he is fight way up to the handle --andal, twelve. None killed. In the affair, Gen. Stevens has shown himself worthy to occupy the posiat a double quick; and the first intimation Gen. Stevens had.that the fort was ours, was by Capt. Futenant Taft and Second Lieut. Coggswell, of Gen. Stevens's staff and was done in a manner which brinf any annoyance being caused to the rear of Gen. Stevens's larger force, about to be landed further rried out according to pre-arrangements. Gen.

d; but the shells burst around them so thick and fast, that they were obliged to go back. As soon as the message was received by the General, he signalized, and the gunboats ceased, and he immediately sent Lieut. A. J. Holbrook, Aid-de-camp on Gen. Viele's staff, and Lieut. Lynn, of the Eighth Michigan, with a flag of truce; but to no purpose — the rebels were no where to be seen or heard. They penetrated the woods, and called at the top of their voices, but received no answer. These officeso that the operation should not be disturbed. The troops were all taken across in two hours and a half, and, as the number of flats was not greater than twenty, the celerity and perfection of the movement are manifest. The two regiments from Gen. Viele's brigade at Hilton Head went aboard the transports, and returned as they had come; two others, the Roundheads and Fiftieth Pennsylvania, remained on the Port Royal island side of the ferry, with a section of Capt. Hamilton's light battery, whi

Bankhead invited me with the company of Surgeon George S. Kemble, of the Second brigade, Capt. Charles E. Fuller, of Gen. Sherman's staff, and Lieut. A. J. Holbrook, on board, as he had a curiosity to show us in the shape of a present from Mrs. Chisholm, formerly a resident of Beaufort, which she sent from Charleston by one of her high cost negroesight. The Roundheads were ferried across, and entered the fort at half-past 2 o'clock P. M., Jan. 1st, going up the shell-road and over the embrazon at a double quick; and the first intimation Gen. Stevens had.that the fort was ours, was by Capt. Fuller's riding down and informing him. Hence the falling back of our troops, as explained, to the fort. The feeling of satisfaction at the entire arrangement is duly reciprocated to his own staff and to Acting Brig.-Gen. Col. Perry, of the Forty-

latboats, nearly four miles, against tide, before arriving at the landing-place, which I stated was Col. Heywood's plantation. The whole time the troops were occupied in their embarkation, disembarkation and landing, going the four miles, etc., was only about two hours, and so quietly, that only the dipping of our oars could be heard. On the walls of the house at the Ferry, used as rebel headquarters, was marked out in pencil: On the 18th day of December, the battery under charge of Lieut. McIlvaine, opened fire upon, and effected a total rout of the Yankees, killing fifty and wounding a hundred. Also: Dec. 18, 1861, we repelled an attack made by the Yankees, killing one half their command. I suppose the rebels referred to a time when Col. Fenton, of the Eighth Michigan was making reconnoissances in launches — at which time we lost one man killed, none wounded. Capt. C. R. P. Rodgers, of the Wabash, was Acting Commodore of the Navy on this occasion. The howitzers were under
