Richmond papers of Saturday contain brief
accounts from Charleston of a bloody battle
fought on Monday last, between five Federal
regiments and battery of Parrot guns and
parts of four Confederate regiments and d
battery. The tattle lasted all day, with a
heavy loss on both sides
The Charleston Mercury f.ared the battle
would be renewed the next day and ex-
pressed apprehensons Cor the safety OF the
city in consequence of the great exhaustion
of the Southern troops and the loss of many
officers.
Gems. Evans and Pemberton had eompli-
plimented the rebel troops for their bravery
in standing up under the heavy fire of shells
and shot from our gunboats and batteries.
The light took place four miles from Char
lesion, and from the tone of an editorial in
the Mercury should think the rebels have
been cut off from retreat from James Island
by our gunboats. If this should he so Charles
ton must soon fall.
The Richmond Dispatch says that it can no
longer be denied that Gen. Jackson has been
heavily reinforced lately, and the Federal
columns must either combine or fall back
across the Potomac.
New YORK, June %.
A New Orleans letter of the 18th says that
the steamer Mississippi arrived from Baton
Rouge. All was quiet in Gen. Williams, camp.
The story Of Col. Dudley and his battery
having been cut off was untrue. There had
been no rebel force near Baton Rogue except
band of some two hundred guerillas cap
tured betwe that city and Clinton
A few days ago Gen. Williams sent Col
Mcmillan, of the 2lst Indiana, with guard
to seize property. AS they were on the road
they were fired upon by two guerillas, and
Col. Mcmillan was slightly wounded with
buckshot. The guard fired upon the rascaIs,
killed one and captured the other.
Gen. Williams, wrote TO Gen. Butler for in
st'uctions as to the course to be pursued
towards guerillas. The General answered as
! follows:
HEADQUARTERS, DEPT OF THE GULF,
! NEW ORLEANS June II.
General: You ask me what shall be done
with guerillas. They should he captured, tried
at the drum head by military commission, and
shot, every man, their houses burnt, their
property destroyed, and every means taken tc
show them that they are enemies of the hui
man race-not soldiers, but murderers and
land pirates. There is but one way in which
you can err toward them, and that is by d
want of prompt severity. By order of
MAJOR GENERAL BUTLER.
