Battle Near Charleston.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 23d.
The Richmond papers of Saturday contain
brief account of bloody battle on Monday
last, between five Federal regiments and bat
terry of Parrot guns and four Confederate rcgi-
rnents and battery. The battle lasted all
day, with heavy loss on both sides The
Charleston Mercury said hat the battle would
be renewed the next day and expressed appre-
tensions for the safety of the city, in conse-
quence Of the great exhaustion Of the Southern
troops and the loss of so many officers Genls.
Evans and Pemberton compliment the troops
for their bravery in standing under the shells of
our gunboats and battery. The fight took
place within four miles of Charleston. From
the tone of tho MercWy, should think that
the rebels have been cut off from a retreat By
our gunboats. If this be so, Charleston must
soon fall. The Dispatch says it can bo no long
er denied that jackson has been heavily rein
forced lately. Federal columns must either
combine or fall back across the Potomac.

mitigation of Gen. Hunters peculiar order about
the negroes You have ere now seen that hc in

South Carolina, Georgia and Florida! Some of
the Colonels let the order go by without reading
it at the head of their regiments. Others en-
tered their protest against it, and were immcdi-
ately put under arrest. In the next place, the
Generals order was for non-commissioned off,
GERS and privates, competent for commissioned
officers in the negro regiments. But very few
offered, and they were hissed and hootod by their
comrades. Not man could be got, for love or
money, out of the Sixth Connecticut. The Sew

A very curious way of procuring roluntsas to
fill up these negro regiments is pursued. Armed
bodies of white soldiers were sent out, and eve
ry able-bodied negro, wherever found, was th-
ken and driven to Hilton Head, where they were
assigned to such companies as the commanding
officer saw fit. But such motley, heterogene-
GUS lot of soldiers never saw before. Not one
was willing. but all were made to perform their
duties under compulsion. Such n mingled iar-
gon, such jabbering was never heard, except a.
mong Il tribe of monkeys.
These 1000 niggers are over in piece of
woods near Hilton Head, and you might as well
undertake to drill and discipline flock of Sheep
They either do not know, or will not, or more
probably cannot learn. The attempt will prove
futile, and be the means of preventing the rails
ing of food by the negroes, and Uncle Sam will
have to feed them.
