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. But tbe rapid and
.fearful cannonade and fusilade kept up
against them was too severe for tbeir
nerves, and wber. close to our entrench

THE PRISONERS.
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.

The Occupation of Corinth. j i
'I he correspondent of iho Cincinnati ( t
I Times. writing from Corinth. uives the I
following facts regarding llse occupation j ?
of ihnt place after its evacuation l>y our | '
forcea : : I
WUKN Tun KEDKLS KVACUATKD. | <
Allliotigli the rebel Generals (?o \ I
learned from Mr. Harrington and others) j i
did not fully determine to evacuate the
place till Tuesday evening, 27ili ultimo., ! 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.

in the first revolution.
It was soon after he and his squadron

got to Pulaski, where he captured such a
arge number of Yankees. Two of LinA.tn's

them pass on. They proceeded hut a

Lord Lyoua has undoubtedly gone to
England. Wbal waa the cause t f bis

[foverniuent not to recognise the inde
Mudence of tbe Confederacy, inasmuch
ss Seward ?n?l Lincoln will crush out tbe
rebellion in a lew days. This shows, at
sny rate, what Lincoln and Sewaid wish
Jie Yankee people to think. We doubt,

ihat ha is no friand to us. If he haa,
however, we think ha will meet with an
adversary in the Lancashire famine abundantly
able to neutralise all the argu
mauls ha may use. Another rumor is,
that ha demanded hie passports before
he left Washington. This we doubt, for
the simple reason that there is no cause
of quarrel between the Yankee and English
Governments, so far as we know.?
It L probable he goes for reasons of a
nature altogether private.?Richmond

homely language, he described this wai
as a 'big job.' This is the biggest 'job*
of the kind ever seen. No more ninety
days business. The insurrection which
Sewnrd believed to be waning at the
close of the last year, now covers half a
