greater than at first reported. An ofticcr la whom the editor has fall confidence, writes that he himself counted two hundred Yankee dead, and Ik*tween eleven and twelve hundred Yankee wounded lelt on the field. Well umy the gallant Georgians and others, who took part in the conflict, be proud of their success. Foster has been sending up balloons, j sky rweket.-^and c ilcium lights appended 1 to the halhrons, for some days past, sup- | posed to be signals to the enemy. iFrom the Richmond Whig, Dsc. 5.] We have already copied from theGeorjri.H papers soma particulars of the battle with Howards corps at GriswoWviile, nine miles east of Macon, on the Central railroad. The Confederate force consist?-d id' three hrir*^ ?v.-d~ menu of suite line troops and the Athens and Augusta battalions, all under tlie command of Gen. Phillips lie attack< d the enemy about twelve o'clock on the 22d. The enemy fell back one mile on the Central railroad, towards Savannah, where they bad erected three lines of fortifications. Gen.- Phillips pursued thein to their breastworks, when lie ordered a charge, driving the enemy from his defences. The emrtujr made several desperate efforts to recapture the works, but were repulsed each tune with heavy loss. Gen. Phillips held his position. The ene^iy withdrew during the night. The ^Hacon Telegraph says: We learn that militia roTees behaved with distinguished gallantry, advancing upon the enemy's breaatwoiks in perfect order, and with 110 straggling. They charged through au open field to within filty yards of the Yankee works, and maintained their ground until ordered to withdraw. The aliens battalion, commanded by M ?jor.. Jackson, both under the immediate orders <?t" the loriner oilicer, were distinguished tor the cool and steady manner iu which they bore themselves in the battle. These, troops, as well as the militia torcis, acted like veterans, and faced tiie destructive lire of the enemy with as much firmness os would have been displayed by the iorces of ITood or Lee. " Gkahavsvjm.k, Dec. 2, 1861.?A force of. infantry, artillery and cavalry, uucier Gen. Foster, attempted to gain the railroad at this point, but were met and rej ulsed. A torec ot marines, uuder Admiral Dahlgren, attempted to gain the railroad at Coosawatchie, but were met a't Lee's creek and repulsed. >V. T. Hauoek, Lieutenant General. [From the Richmond Dispatch, Dec.

It seeuis ttiat II.hxI attacked Seliotietd's works at tour ocl?)ck, nearly sunset; was at tirst victorious, carried the lines of the Yankees, and was then outranked and beaten so badly that but for night coming on he would have been annihilated. In the littie time that elapsed Ik1 .'ween four o'clock and dark, on the 1st of December, he lost six thousand men, killed and wound- : c.l and one thousand prisoners! But the | ' courtesy and urbanity of Schofield mid i Thomas arc more marvellous than auyrniag else.

The steamship Fulton, which arrival at i hi-: port iasl evening, brought toe re- { mains of Mr. Galen II Osborne, one <f, our army correspondents, who expired at! Hilton Head, ou the 2DtlT ult., after a ; painful illness, contracted in the dis- > charge of his duties. Mr. Osborne was a I youn;* gentleman of much promise, and j though but twenty-eight years of age at i the time ol'his death, displayed a thorough knowledge of his difficult employment, and an amount of energy and industry truly remarkable, lie "became a member of our army corps at the commencement of the rebellion, and served us in that capacity with great fidelity and constancy from that time up to the frtn latneUUnl it<h. Iii the Department 01 the South, | where the greater part of his labors were performed, he was widely known, and recognized as one of ttie ablest correspondents the war had produced. His enterprise, activity and smartness attracted the attention ot all the otflcers of the Department, from the commanding general down. Besides the high order of talent he brought to the business of the correspondent <h a newspaper, he possessed also the most pleasing and enviable-opalities that can adorn an aceoraplisnt'd-geutteman. Full of tun, and anecdote and humor, he was the delight of his coiupauions and the ornament of ?he social gathering. No dinner, no supper or party that might be given by or gotten u^by the otficers was complete with UpleWOsborne absent. It may well tie imagined, therefore, that his loss will be deplored as well by those admiring companions which lie made for himself in the f iroff 6011th as by theeditoi? of the paper for which he labored so faithfully aud so It fHi _ I _? a. -4.

On S u 'ay night, the 2.">th ult., the iron steamer Beatrice, iroui Nassatv-witb an aborted cargo, was driven upon the northerly side of the shoal of Drunken Dick and destroyed, while trying to rnn into Charleston. She was discovered, fired jipon and hit three times <J>y our blockading vessels outside the bar; and no sooner had she run the gauntlet of these outside blockaderstban sheeneoun- . tered our monitors, tuirsand nicket boats inside the bar, bv which she was completely riddled. The firing on our side was very effective?frightening the officers and.crew of the Beatrice very much, so that they cried again and again, " We are aground; come and take us.' Acting waster Gilford, chief of scouts, with two large lattuches and two other boats, then boarded the prize, took such articles as" could be readily seized, and set her ou fire, bringing with him, on his return, thirty ot her crew. The captain and alxjut a dozen of his officers and crew hai>previously escaped to Sullivan's Island, the batteries of which had once opened tire on the Beatrice, and tlms actually aided our vessels and our batteries on Morris Island in the work of destruction. The Beatrice is a ship of about five hundred tons burden, worth, with her cargo, about ><220,000. One of the firemen of the Beatrice was also a fireman ou board the Flora, the blockade runner which was destroyed on the same shoal about a month since. He seems to be discouraged by his ill success, aud says he shall try some other business to get his living by. The fact is, it is no easy thinir to iret into Charleston now. though it is said two vessels have ran in and one j has run out within the last month. One of the last that went in'was the Fox, an old offender, which was seen by the Wamsutta and by the Mingoe: and it is said she might have been destroyed if the captaiu of the Mingoe had done his duty. At any rate the Admiral lias ordered a court of inquiry, consisting of Captain Green, Captain Luce and Judge Advocate Cowley, to investigate his conduct.' " the morning of the fcfith, at dayllfht, the chief otiicer of the Gen. Lyon oljserved on the south side of the river a schooner, painted lead col<ir, and acting very strangely. By watching her move+ j otun'tntAn u*oa ciirul/onml thof UiUUio ou^ivi^u nao anaacntu tucvi cuu was a blockade-ruuner. After consulting with the captain (Ward) a boat was lowered, and Mr. ilayden, with four seamen, started toward the suspicious cralt. When alongside, she was hailed, and receiving no reply the officer and men boardsd her. Upon examination she pfoved to be the schooner Bertha, of Nassau, N. P., cleared for St. John's, N. B,loaded with contraband goods. There beiug no one on board, Mr. Haydeu assumed charge, and anchored her in the stream, beyond rifle shot from the shore. The Bertha is almost a new vessel, el about sixt'y tons, and has a valuable cargo, besides a good suit of cotton sails. She had run by Fort Pulaski, and, Laving discovered the flag of truce fleet, came to the conclusion they were gunboats come to capture Savannah, and accordingly skedaddled in confusion, leaving everything behind. Mr. Ilayden deserves much credit for his vigilance and success. L'dou consul tat ion with CoL Muitbrd, by bia orders tbe schooner was towed to Hilton Head by tbe steamer Elka Hancox.
