The Late Fight at SeCeSsiOnyille.
THE ADVANCE OF TIE ENEMY.

About dawn yesterday morning our pckets
in front OF Lasnar's battery were driven in,
and almost simultaneously the cnemy's col
umn was seen some four hundred yards of.
advancing with the bayonet, at duube-quicl,
to the assault. Our troops with the battery
had been hard Ct work the evening before,
in throwing up another battery, and We're al
most worn out with fatigue. The frstround
that w.s fred ct the Yankees was by Cul. T..
G. Lamar, himself. His men fastened with
alscritr to their pieces, and were soon pour
ing grape and canister against the rapidly ap-
preaching cnemy. At each discharge great
gaps were visible in the Yankee ranks, but
still they came oil without firing single vol
ley. 1t was aftcywari a$certained that their

last night, to obtain the full list of casualties
in this fne command, which contributed so
materially to tue repulsc of the enemy. The
companies engaged were those Of Captains
Aeitt and Reed. For fourteen days, while
having the most arduous and laborious duties
to perform, they had been constantly ex posed
to the shelling Of the enemy's gunboats. OF
course the attack found them very much
wearied, yet they fought with all the spirit
and persistence that could have beeen expec-
ted from fresh troops. Among the casualties
were tue following:
Col. 7. G. Lamar, wounded by mimic ball
passing through the ear and back portion of
the neck. Capt. Samuel J. Reed, of Comp.-
ny 3, from Barnwell District, killed.
Sergeant Baggott, Of the same company,
