Colonel SpsuldiDg's Regiment lost all its

about twelve killed and forty wounded.
Among the latter is Captain ]. a. Yates, of
Charleston, seriously injured by she'll, and
Dr. Buist Of Greenvillc,,S. @, was instAntty
killed by shell striking him on the head
We have no positive information from
Bay Point battery, further than 1t was 81
fenced at teleyen o'clock. We. hear it suffered
serious loss. It is reported the garrison re-
tired in safety to.Besufurt.
Of Colonel De Bnssares' regiment, sta.
tiored at Fort Walker, four were killed at
the batteries and twenty wounded. We uu-
derstand the Confederates lost no prisoners,
except perhaps one or two from Colonel De
Bussares regiment.
The killed were covered with blankets
and left, and the wounded were all placed
on board of steamers and will be in 'Savan-
nah to. day.. The abandoned batteries were
taken possession of by the enemy, and the
United States flag waved over them when
.our troops retired.
NASHVILLE, November l2.-Five railroad
bridges were burnt in East Tennessee Friday
night by Unionists. Two on the Georgia
State Road at Chicamauge Greek, Hamilton
County, and one on the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad on Hiawasse River, Brad
ley County. Five minutes after the guard
passed through the whole bridge was in
| flames
Two bridges on the Tennessee and Georgia
Railroad, on Lick Creek, Green Coudty, and
another on Halstein River, were also burned.
| 1t was thought unnecessary to guard the
bridge on Hastein, as Sullivan County was
strongly Southern in feeling
The bridge over Halstein River is at
Straw berry Plains. In Jefferson County the
bridges were fred, but the fire was put out
by the people. A guard had one hand cut
off and his skull fractured, and there are in-
| dications that one of the incendiaries had
| been killed. 3r
A gentleman just from Eastern Tennessee
reports that there is great excitement in con-
sequence of the burning of the bridges. 1t
was evidently preconcerted plan. The loss
is heavy and will cause great Inconvenience
| and delay.
Matters in East Tennessee are regarded as
| in q critical condition, and much anxiety is
| felt for Zollicoffer

sissippi.
| COLUMBUS, KY, November ia dread
| ful accident has occurred here. A DahIgreR
| gun exploded yesterday, killing two Lieu
tenants and six privates. General Polk mar
rowly escaped. A portion Of his clothes
| were torn off.
A Savannah paper says that Fort Walkers
armament consisted of sixteen guns, nine of
which bore upon the shipping, the balance
being in position on the land side. Five or
six of these guns, among them a twenty
four-round rif1ed cannon and a ten inch Co
lumbiad, were disabled during the forenoon.
Thus disabled and their ammunition ex-
hausted, the garrison evacuated Ft. Walker
between three and four o'clock, retiring in
the direction of Bluffton, leaving the guns in
position and unspiked, having no spikes for
that purpose. In the course of the morning
and the previous night considerable rein
forcements of infantry and artillery from
Georgia and South Carolina had arrived al
Hilton Head, and were stationed in the
vicinities of the batteries but we are unable
at present to ascertain the number of troops
engaged in the battle.
Captain Jacob Reeds artillery company,
Of'the First Georgia Regiment of regulars,
arrived at the scene Of action on Wednesday
night, and yesterday bore a gallant part il
the fight. -Four or five of his men were
killed early in the action. The corps LOST
two of their guns and several horses. Col
opel Randolph Spaulding's Georgia Volun'
teer Regiment, commanded by Captain
Berry, was also in the engagement. They
were marched to the beach and received
CALLING fire of round shot and shell from tn
feet which they were unable to return.
Colonel W. II. Stiles Volunteer Regimen
of Georgia reached the scene of action a
eleven o'clock, having marched seven and
half miles at double quick, but they were ais,
unable to fire on the feet, which was out O
reach of their guns. This regiment hat
several killed and wounded by the shells
The Colonel and his regiment were at on
| time exposed to a.terri6c shelling from tt
!. feet, and it is only surprising more of then
! were not killed or wounded. ~
