IIaleiuii, May 2G.?The Progress' Kinstoii
correspondent of the 24th says, that three thousand
Yankees attack our pickets and three regiments
at Gum Swamp, on Friday, and surprised
and routed them. We had several wounded,
and fifty to one hundred taken prisoner. We
took eight prisoners. General llill forced ' the
enemy back, and drove them to within eight
miles of Newbern. The Colonel pnmnnndin^
-
the Yankees reported killed. The enemy burnt
the court house and other buildings at Trenton,
Jones County, Friday, and robbed and plundered
the citizens as they went.
A Terriulk Calamity.?We regret to learn
that the powder mill, located about fourteen
miles from Charlotte, on the Catawba ltiver
was blown up on Saturday morning, about 5>
o'clock.
The President, S. \Y. Davis, Esq, was not
in the mill when the explosion took place.
Five of the operatives were killed. The following
is a list of the killed: Charles Ivluoppol.
berg, Sup., John N. Lee, George Hutchison,
Christopher Ounce, John Ochjer. It is imimsv.blo,
to account for the accident. The mill
. house is entirely destroyed, but the principal
portion ot the machinery is uninjured.
\Charlolte Bulletin.
Arrival.?The Confederate steamship Gen.
Beauregard, Captain L. M. Coxeter, arrived here
yesterday from Nassau, which place she left on
Tuesday evening last. The Beauregard was
lired at fifteen times by the Yankee blockadors
and one of them disclmigod Ins broadside, but
. * i
it did no harm. She brings the most valuable
assortment of goods that has entered the port
for some time. The steamship Orion and
Sirius were left at Nassau, but have since arid
red.
The steamer Britannia from tiiiseity arrived
their on Monday last.
It is with much regret that we announce
that Captain Coxeter retires from his ship with
this trip, and that his valuable services as a
shipmaster will be, for a period at least, lost to
us. His health, which has been indifferent^
required that lie should remain ashore aud recruit,
after passing through two years of intense
excitement, first as commander of the l'rivatcer
Jeti'orson Davis, and afterwards in the
* steamers Antonica, (Herald) and Beauregard)
(U avelock.) As the commander of an armed
vesshl in the early stages of the war; his name
was a terror to Yankee shipmasters, and the
steamer which he has for sometime had charge
ofhave been of great value in blinging into the
country military supplies. On one occasion his
ship came near being blown out of the water
by the Yankee steam sloop of war Adirondack
and lie has been frequeutly fired at more or
less heavily; but has always passed the Lincoln
blockade successfully-?Charleston Courier.
Arrival.?The steamship Orion, Captain
F. N. Bonneau, arrived on Friday night, having
left Nassau on Wednesday. She was fired
at by the Yankees off this harbor, but sustained
no damage.
The Orion is a beautiful vessel, and has
every qualification necessary to make Incr a
successful blockade runner.
Captain Thomas Lockwood, formerly of the
Kate, has arrived in Nassau in command oi'thc
steamer Atlantic.
The British steamer Flora, which had left
KT *i i* ' 1 *
pi assail, 11 was ieareci, n as been taken by a Yankee
gun-boat, as she was chased, and firing
was heard in the direction which she vrent.
Wegare gratified, however, to report her safe
arrival at Wilmington, after passing through
another heavy fire off that port.

A Curious Fact.?The Bermuda Mirror,
of the 25th April, mentions the following truly
remarkable fact:
We call the attention of our readers to the
curious fact that the latest intelligence which
reached Bermuda from England at the date of
the arrival of the Cornubia, was through the
blockade (?) port of Wilmington, North Caro.
Jina. This fact gives additional-iutcrcst to the
eloquent speech of Mr. Laird, M. P., contained
in the Richmond papers of the lGth inst., and
published in our last, on the subject of the
Alabama.
Colonel Pettus, who was taken prisoner by
the Yankees, and afterwards escaped, says the
Yankee strength is between 40,000 and 50,000,
distributed along the road from Port Gibson to
Big Black, and commanded by Grant in person.
Will/>? c? r> i ~
tunings, ixookv opnngs, and Uayuga,
lie at intervals of seven miles apart, in a
straight line parallel with Big Black, from
which tlicy arc about four miles distant, while
Bayou Pierre runs in their rear at a considerable
less distance. Willow Springs is akput
ten miles from Grand Gull,and Cayuga is about
thirty-two miles Wcst-south-West from Jackson,
and twelve miles from' the Southern Railroad
at Edward's Depot and Big Black bridge.
It will thus be seen that Grant occupies a
position-very favorable to resisting an attack
on his right, as forming front in that direction
his flanks would rest up the two streams named;
if worsted, lie can retreat upon Grand Gulf.
At the same time, it is a very pretty line to cut
in two, and if, while the fresh troops now arriving
should attack his right, while the Yicksburg
garrison threw themselves between Willow
Springs-and Grand Gulf, Grant would be
in an awkward place.
The Losses at Fkedkuu^sbuku.?In view
of the character and numbers of the two armies
engaged in the recent battles on the Rappahannock,
we estimated, a short time since, that the
Union losses could not have been less than
25, 000 men. Our judgement has been continue^
by all the authentic facts which have
come to light. It is admitted ollicially that
7,000 Union prisoners have been released from
Richmond, and the following from the Washington
correspondent of the Commercial Au'eerfiscr
tells of the killed and wounded:
"Tim oldest and most experienced news
monger are just now completely at fault, and
are unable to pick the golden threads of truth
from the tangled web of military gossip.
Certain it is that the Armv of the Potomac
lias lost a large number of 4|)iisonors and missing'-?that
its dead and woended exceed 23,
000?that it left on the Southern bank of the
Kappahannock twenty-four pieces of, artillery,
with a large quantity of arms and ammunition,
and that a majority qf its general officers desire
a new commander."
This would foot up the total loss at not less,
than 30,000, a very different result from the
"10,000'' report of General Hooker, but not
less likelv on that account to bo true.
