Camp DOUGLAS,

The horrid weather Of yesterday kept the
bntternut prisoners in their quarters, and
nothing but the necessity Of getting fuel and
food would tempt them outside their bar
racks.
On Saturday night 3ss additional prisoners,
Of the Island No. 10 persuasion, arrived at the
camp from Cairo. They were joined by about
500 Of the Camp Douglasites, and together,
under the escort Of company l, Irish Brigade,
Captain Fitzgerald, their journey was con.
tinued to Madison, Wisconsin, where they
will remain until further orders. The prison
ers left for the North with extreme unrill-
ingness,I as they regard it cold enough in
Camp Douglas, without going two or three
degrees farther toward the North Pole.
The following prisoners have died since Sat
urday at four o'clock:

Attack upon McClellan,s Elect.

A large artillery force, embracing number of
heavy siege guns had been placed in position at and
below Coggin's Point on James River, up to Thurs
day evening last. Coggin's Point is in Prince
George County, about 40 miles below Richmond
and nearly opposite IlsrriSon's Landing, on the
North side of the river. At that place the Yankee
fleet of about $50 vessels lay, with McClcllan's
camp full IN view beyond.
About / o'clock on Friday morning last, our
guns having been sighted the evening before, our
entire artillery opened upon the Yankee fleet, with
tremendous cannonade. They were taken by sur
prise and Immediately the lights of the feet were
extingushed and the gun-boats returned brisk but
harmless fire. The scene is described as highly ex
citing From our batteries a continuous sheet of
fame issued for mile or two in length until 500
guns had been fred when, in obedience to previous
orders, the cannonade ceased. severe crashing
was heard among the shipping, but next morning
every vessel had disappeared and McClellan's camp
presented a scene Of confusion. fire ragged at
Berkeley on Saturday, but the extent of the damage
done by our guns is not known. The loss on our
side was one killed and six wounded caused by an
hccident with one of our own guns.
