Important from James' Island?Bloody JTignt at ?*cesqionviUe?Tne Enemy Repulsed with ?eftTj Loss?Our Casualties, etc 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 Secession v tile, on James* lalaud From the first the news was of an encouraging character, inasmuch as we were Assured that.a mere handful of our brave troops had tepuleed a heavy column of the enemy, thrown forward to assault the battery at Secee sionville, manned by a portion of Colouel Lamar's Regiment of Artillery, 8. C. V. From the various accounts which we have received, we have collated the following facts in relation to the hnttle : rue advance or the ehemt. About dawn yesterday morning our pickets in front of Lamar's battery were drivon in, and almost simultaneously, the enemy's column was seen some four hundred yards off, advancing with the hayo net, at double quick, to the assault. Our troops, within the battery, had been hard ! at wQrk the evening before in ihiowiog up aoclher battery, and were almost worn out with fatigue. The first round that was fired at the Yankees was by Col. T. O. Lamar himself. His men hastened with alacrity to their pieces, and were soon pouring grape aod canister against the rapidly approaching enemy.-* ai escii uiscnargo great gaps were visi ble in the Yankee ranks, but still they came on, without Bring a single volWy. It was afterwards ascertained that their muskets were empty, and that they bad actually hoped to carry the battery witb the bayonet alone. Dut the rapid and .fearful cannonade and fusilade kept up against them was too severe for their nerves, and wher. close to our entrench incuts they wavered, reeled and finally fled in disorder. Twice was this experiment repeated, and twice they were repulsed. Their losses were frightful?amounting, proba> bly, to some 400 killed, wouLded and missing. Col. Lamar was slightly wound* ?d in the neck. Capt. Sam'l J. Reed and Serg' t C. liaggott, of Lamar's Raltalion, were killed. Lieut. Humbert, of the tame battalion, was slightly .founded.

They did this | ti itb a view of a speedy retreat, in case t ne became necessary, either before or . h fter a fight. The question of the final r??'UHliun was left open, to l?e decided i ? i time ami circumstance* should dictate, ' fl lid in the mean time the army and the 1 ti ?op!e were to he c.-j .led into the belief ; L int Corinth was the last ditch ? the spot |) here Pillow intended to die. a All of the citizens of Corinth, and I he- ^ si <ve of the rebel States, believed the p'ace | i< ould be held at all bazzaids, and the J c lagrin and disappoiiilment at its evacninn, without a blow, were deep and bit- b r. s( I talked with several who, up tj that c< tur, bad never failered in their faith, r< it wlio now 'ook upon their cause as ? ,sl the r.moiesl chance of resurrection, m d are adapting lliem-elves t?? their new In d changed circuuiM'aiire*.

The story, except j ti to the health, was a true one, a* I have I ice ascertained, and I also learn ikat j jt s masses of the people and the soldiers ' ft ally supposed he was there recupera- :r jg, lie having given out that impression w ut the fact was, he wa* searching for a tl ace to which to make a retreat, and on w * return he called a council of war on r< ueaday evening, and arnounced his de- i> riniuation to evacuate Corinth. I learn I t! at Pillow, Price, and Hardee concurred | ilb him, and thai Bragg and Yau Ih.m ti .posed (be movemeti' as absolutely d>- e rucltve of the cause.

J lteir.pt to cut oft Curtis and Mitchell, or j ' iiuforct the army at Uicbinond f Of j ' jurse, time alone can develop the policy i ( f the rebel General. My own opinion is ' ' tat the retreat from Corinth i* the tir-t l?p towards the dissolution of the South* | rn army. It was with the utmost d.fii* ' ulty that the rebels, whose term of ser* 1 ice had expired, ariJ the fresh conscripts, 1 oulti he kept together, with the prospect ' f au immediate battle and a promise of I ictory ; anil the retreat will be the sig* 1 al for a gradual but sure dissolution of | le traitorous organization in the Missis 1 ippi Valley. 1 The only public property which has |1 eau found in the village that the rebels >ft undisturbed, was about teu tons of , nells and solid shot?the latter chiefly , | and 12 pound halls; together with a unsiderahle quantity of raidroad iron, an . 1 11 rticle of the greatest importance to Gen ral ilalieck. The supply, il is believed, , rill b? sufficient to replace every rail re* noved by either our forces or the enemy. Jut time will be required to complete he work. A rtJMCIT DV CAVALItT.
