buried oref 600 of their dead at Shirley, and
lost 100 of their wounded, who fell into oar
hands on Saturday itorning. Oar Pickets
now occupy Shirley. Nine more prisoners*
who hare been brought to this place, report
that McClellan is in a strong position at Berk
ly; that he has been reinforced by Shielea' divison,
and now has from 80,000 to 100,000
men, with which he intends to give battle.
Balloons went dp yesterday from his camps
and to-day his wagon train were still visible.
The tents of the enemy dot the country for
miles. Prisoners, who belonged to Sickles*
"Excelsior" Brigade say that out of 5,000 met
who composed the Brigade before opening
the battle, not 500 are left.
Richmond, July 7.?Nothing of interest
has transpired here to-day. It is reported that
there was fighting this morning betwoen our
forces and the retreating Yankees in Charles
City County, but nothing is known of the engagement
(if any really took place) at the War
Office. The Weather is extremely hot.
Capture of a Yankee Gunboat.?Information
having been received of the passage of
several Yankee gunboats up the Santeo River,
two companies of sbarp-shootors were placed
<IH omknek An via kmnlro fA ?
?u cwsajtsisoaj vru viiv upiino VV iiuvi IIIC iiid"
rauders. Upon their near approach, our men
fired upon them, and, in attempting to turn and
retreat, one of the boats got nground and was
captured, some 75 or 100 met) on board beiug
killed. A few jumped overboard> and were
either shot or drowned. The other boats escaped.
We hope soon to give more exact details
of tho gallant exploit, which has probably
saved tho North-Eastern Railroad Bridge, and
given the base Yankees merited punishment
for their villainous raid. Our people are alive
to their presence within our waters, and will
greet them warmly wherever they attempt to
advance.?Carolinian of Wednesday.

A friend has placed in our hands a copy of a
little sheet -with the above title, published at
Beaufort, S. C. It was taken from the dead
body of a Yankee, who was killed in the fight
at Secession ville.
The following is the announcement on the
first page: "The Camp Kettle is published every
opportunity b}T the One Hundredth Pensylvania
(Roundhead) Regiment, Col. Leasure commanding.
We find on the first page an account of the
battle on Wilmington Island, between the Thirteenth
Georgia and Eighth Michigan, in which
the latter gives a loss of twelve killed and thirty
wounded. At present we have only spaco for
stna nr twn A*tr?A.tA* C!s>uri*>r
Then, and Now.?'On the 7th of December
Gen. Stevens occupied Beaufort with his brigade.
Then it was a deserted, sacked city, in
the possession of the ex-slaves in the first hour
of their freedom, and desertion, ruin and pillage
had suddenly come down upon it like night?
Now it is once more, aye, and more than ever
a mart of busy men. Its wharves are rebuilt
and groin with grain and merchandize, while a
huge condenser at one side, turns salt water into
fresh, to store ships with water for long
voyages, and the busy plane and ringing anvil
announce the coming of a new era for the ancient
town. The old 6tore rooms have new
firms in them, and Beaufort is fast becoming
a Northern town of thrift and trade. Yankee
Missionaries are here to teach the quondam
slaves the literaturo of thei^ late masters, and
plant the Cotton and the corn, the sweet potato
and the yam, and turn the the slipshod
"shiftlessnesa" of "Dixie" into the thriftness of
Nutmegdom. Much of this change owes itself
to the organizing mind of Gen. Stevens.
Concert.?On last Friday night the "beauty
and chivalry" of the ancient citv of Beaufort
assembled in the Episcopal church on the occasion
of a grand concert, given by the Regi"
mental Band of the Seventy-ninth New York
Volunteers (Highlanders.) The spacious building
was crowded to its utmost capacity, by a
most appreciative and intelligent audience, and
the performance was one well worthy of this,
the first occasion of a "Union Concert" in this
deserted nest of rebellion. About thirty ladies
were present* and we peed hardly say they,
were well cheered by the "s6ger ladies." Gen.
Stevens and staff and all the officers of the brigade
honored the occasion with ihdir' presence
and all seemed delighted with the amusements
of the evening.
