Important from James' Island?Bloody Fight at 8<ceeqioimlle?The Enemy Repuised with 9?avy Lota?Our Casualties, ate A little before noon, yesterday, our city was thrown into a state of feverish excitement by the vague tidings that there had been bloody work at Secessionville, on James' Island From tbe first the newt was of an encouraging character, inasmuch as ere were,Assured that.a mere handful of our brave troopa had tepulsed a heavy column of the enemy, thrown forward to assault the battery at Secee aionville, manned by a portion of Colonel .Lamar's Regiment of Artillery, 8. C. V. From the various accounts which we have received, we bare collated the following facta in relation to the battle : Tlie advanck or the incxr. About dawn yesterday morning our picketa in front of Lamar's battery were drivon in, and alinoat simultaneously, the eneray'a column waa even eome four hundred yards off, advancing with the l.ayo net, at double quick, to the aaaault. Our troop*, within the battery, had been bard at wQrk the evening before in lb towing up another battery, and were almost worn out with fatigue. The first round that was fired at the Yankeee was by Col. T. O. Lamar himself. Ilia men hastened with alacrity to their pieces, and were eoon pouring grape and canister against the rapidly approaching enemy.? At each discharge great gaps were visi ble in the Yankee ranka, but still tbey came on, without firing a single volky.' ,It was afterwards ascertained that their muskets were empty, and tbat they had actually hoped to carry the battery with the bayonet alone.

A number of the prisoners were brought to the city about two o'clock, in charge of a detachment of the Charleston Rifle* men, Irish Volunteers, and Charleston Light Infantry, under command of Capt. T. Y. Simons. All these prisoners he longed either to the 47lh New York (Highlander) Regiment or to the 8.b Michigan Regiment. We counted thirty of them as they were marched through East Hay and Rroad streets to the Guard Uouse. Nearly all of them have the appearance of veritable cut tliroate, and they are, evidently, the scum of the com munities from which ther were recruited. ? Charleston Mercury 17 fA intt.

I they had for a long time been tending j away all extra baggage, and every tinu i 1 | not actually needed for the subsistence of | i the troops, or lor a hattle. They did this i I with a view of a speedy retreat, in case ; I one became necessary, either before or , I after a fight. The question of the final | evacuation was left open, to he decided i as time and circumstances should dictate, I and in the mean lime the army and the ' I people were to l?e c*j 'led into the belief j ] that Corinth was the last ditch?the spot , j where Pillow intended to die. i Ali of the ciiizeim of Corinth, and I he* , lieve of the rebel Stales, believed the place i t would be held at all hnZZatds, and the c chagrin and disappointment at its evacu* ; atioij, without a blow, were deep and bit* I ler. s I talked with several who, up t> that c hour, had never faltered in their faith, but who now 'ook upon their caii?e as past the rt molest chance of resurrection, and are adapiino themselves to their new and changed ciicutnaiances. The\ say i that if the South cou d not defend Co* t ri it tit, they cannot hold their ground at | any other point, an I it ia idle to prolong 1 b a war which it desolating twelve Stale*. ; tl Ou fuesdav. 27th, an intelligent da- I e erter came into ait-p, and on being qties- d | tinned staled that General Beauregard ii had been at Holly Spring*, Mi**., for sev- c eral daye reciuiting lor hia health, an he | c alledgeJ, but that he returned at nine ; Ii o'clock that morning, 'l'he story, except j t as to the health, was a true one, a* 1 have I tince ascertained, and I alto learn tkat'j the mattes of the people and the soldiers I fi really supposed he was there recupera- n ting, he having given out that impression ! * But the fact whs, he was searching for a j t place to which to make a retreat, and on J i Ids return he called a council of war on I r Tuesday evening, and arnounced his de* ! i termination to evacuate Corinth. I learnt that Pillow, Price, ami Hardee concurred with him, and thai Bragg and Van I)orn t opposed the moveiueur as absolutely d?- c struclive of the cause. But all would m l <_ do, the order was given and Curicth wnt r evacuated. i THE RENDEZVOUS. * I learned that the great body of the * rebels are concentrating at llolly Springs. Mississippi, 7 3 4 miles by railroad from ' Corinth, end ahout the same distance ' from Memphis. It is on the Mississippi 1 Central K?i!road, and in a healthy I oca- J( lion. A portion of the forces went to I 1 Columbus, about 100 miles South of Co |l rintb. Various are ilia conjectures as to ' what the rebels will next do. Will they atteir.pt to cut oil' Curtis nnd Mitchell, or 1 reiuforce the army at Richmond f Of ' course, time alone can develop the policy 1 of the rebel General. My own opinion is 1 hat (be retreat from Corinth is the fir.-t step towards the dissolution of the South- I erti ariny. It was with the utmost d.fli* ' 1 culty that the rebels, whose term of ser- 1 vice hud expired, arid the fresh coiiftcripts, could be kept together, with the prospect 1 of au immediate battle and a promise of | victory ; anil the retreat will be the *ig> , timI for a gradual but sure ditsolution of | the traitorous organisation in the Missis . sippi Valley. The only public property which has j1 j been found in the village that the rebels I left undisturbed, was about ten tons of J . 1 shells and solid shot?the latter chiefly i 0 and 12 pound halls; together with a , considerable quantity of raidroad iron, an , article of the greatest importance to Cien , I eral Llalieck. The supply, it is believed, , will be sufficient to replace every rail re? I 1 moved by either our forces or the enemy. [ But time wilt be required to complete > I the work.
