His array was then about four miles from Averysboro, i? the vicinity of what is known as Smith's farm. Colonel .jgtett with his brigade of South Carolina RcgUuii'?- (consisting of the 1st Artillery, ist Infantry, Lucas' battalion of Heavy Artillery) constituted the rear guard. Skirmishing and sharpahooting com? menced about noon, and our troops at oiicc set to work in throwing np such slight- en trciichtnents as the means ?at hand per? mitted. A few rails here, logs there, and a"bwheh of limbs sprinkled with dirt was all "that conld be had to answer the tem? porary purpose ' On this day no deter? mined advance -was made by the enemy... Our ow.li army, however, lost one ot ita bravest and promising officers. Col. Bhett, commanding, the rear guard.

Our own troops were in line behind their works?it may -he diguifiod ? by such a name?and with enthu.siaiim awaked .the onset. Opposite out left a dense undergrowth of smajl pines limited tho view. Colonel Butler, of the first in? fantry, was in command of tho brigade, and Lieut. Col. TDcTrcville commanded that rcgiment. . ? Skirnnshing commenced "at early hour along the entire line, and about 7 o'clock th8 enemy atacked our left in force. Tho men met it splendidly. Disciplined liko the regulars of .tho old army, ami for more than a year and a half daily and- nightly under the fire of the Federal artillery on Sumter and on Sullivan's and James' Is-, lands, they have become inured to dan? ger and hardship; but this was their first meeting with'their old adversaries on tiro open field, and one for which they had, longed without ceasing. Tho manner in which they availed themselves of this, the first opportunity presented to prove their eclat, testified their earnest .purpose. The Federals might as well have struck a solid wall. Until ordorcd to fall back, the men stood in their places, receiving'and returning the battle fire with cheeks unblanehcd. Two divisions of Slocum's corps', Kilpa't riek's cavalry, and superior numbers of artillery were in tho front, pressing with all their might, but our lines rom3iricdin tact. Three of our light 12-poundcr guns added to the effectiveness of; our defence. One of theso belonging to Le Gaj'doaux's battery planted on our right, assisted to check the enemy there, but in a short time tho latter brought up a battery and within five hundred yards opened upon this single piece what is described to us as a perfect '/hell storm of fire." Horses and men went down before the tornado until but one of each remained, and tho giiii was then abandoned to its fate. " Failing to produce any effect on the left, the attack was transfcred to the right flank. Here wo had no defences, . and by reason of the paucity of numbers could only meet tho rapid combinations of tho enemy with a line of skirmishers consisting of "four companies. For a time these held ah entire bigade.in chock, but the latter finally charged, broke through; and forced us to fall back. Simultaneous? ly the Federals attacked our rijj.ht front, and thus, between t! 13 triangular; fire, it became necessary to. aba:. . .. tn< first liue. In so doing many of cur wounded fell into tho hands of the Federals. IT was. now about half-past' twelve o'clock, F. M. Falling back.hs.lf a mile, cur force occupied a second line, and met ft brigadg.-ill reserve, under command of General Stephen Ehiott. " Here the fight Was again obstinately renewed and con? tested; but the enemy, swooping around our right flank, compelled in tho ? course of tho afternoon, an abandonment, of the j uecond line and a retreat to. the tlfrrtl.? j The Federals had been wearried and ex? hausted, had lost heavily^ in killed and wounded, .and the bold front presented at tlio third lino, with its -flanks protected ?by. swamps, compelled them 4o desist front further operations,-..

I forwarded tho substance of that dispatch to Lieut. Col.'Mulford, Assistant Agent- of Exchange, and pre? sumed i? probablo that he had commu? nicated it to Col. Eo. Ould. A day or two after an offender, who was neither a prisoner of war nor a political prisoner, was executed after a fair and impartial trial, and in accordance with the laws of war and the usages of civilized nations.

He says : "The entire business portion of the tcfUm ??that is, Frant street?is burned to the ground, except one house, which from his description of the locality, I suppose to be the only building on the street which was J occupied by a .private family. That fact demonstrates that the burning of the stores and warehouses was not accidental,'but that, on. the'contrary, the enemy cOuld 1 and did conifrol tho extent of the confla? gration according tp their pleasure.? There was not sufficient other force there, to restrain the flames. J.\o dwelling in ! tho bod}"- of the town was . burned.
