According to the statement M - ? "j M ot a prisoner taken on Monday, the strength, of the maunders at this time is sixteen regiments, but a few more regiments were daily expeetcd to arrive. This force is now industriously, at work entrenching its positions, probably with ,the view of making them, sooner or later, a ^ base of operations against tho city. At half-past three o'clock a Confederate force, consisting of the 47th Georgia Regiment Col. Williams, Hagood's Regiment. S. C, V., the Louisiana Batalion of Infantry, and a sec tion of Preston's Light Battery, attacked the enemy on Grimball's plantation, at a point about a mile and a half beyond the Presbyterian Chureh. The advance of our troops had to be made for the distance of about a mile over a low swampy tract of ground, in traversing which they were necessarily placed at a disadvantage by being considerably scattered. On emerging o from the swamp, our men encountered the Yankees, who were rapidly driven back for the distance of about three hundred yards, and to within one hundred and fifty yards of the river. Here the further retreat of the enemy was covered by a sharp fire from his batteries, and also from, a gunboat, which, until, then unseen, had been lying in the stream. We havo not as yet obtained a full list of the casualties in the fight. Capt. Williams, of the 47th Georgia, was killed, and Capt. Cones * slightly wounded. It is also said that the Orderly Sergeant of Capt William's company was killed. Later.?Our loss in killed wounded and missing was just sixty-five* The enemy's force consisted of one regiment of Infantry, two batteries of artillery, and a squadron of cavalry. Our own force, which was scattered over a defensive line ef some extent, was four regiments 6f Infantry; Rcid's battery, a section of Preston's battery, and another Jight battery. Gen. Peinberton is on James Island. The expedition was under command of Gen. ^ Smith. The blockading squadron on Tuesday consisted of eight propellor steamers off our Bar, besides four largo transports just outside the Bar of the Stono River. ? Mercury. - W ? ? AiMiuH irum jDuropu. Liverpool dates to the 28th ult. have been received. The London Morning Post understands that tlie demand for the restitution of the recaptured ship Emily St. P?ere cannot be complied with. The London Times thinks that Butler's rule in New Orleans is exceedingly harsh and sovero, and calculated to make the raising of the blockade valueless. The Post is very bitter in its comments upon Butler's decrees, and savs that not even the Austrians or Russians ever issued such orders in a conquered city.
