ENGAGEMENT AT COAL HARBoR
In the fight ON Friday, Johnson's Battery
of this city, occupied an exposed position OF
the Coal Harbor road, about one mile from
Coal Harbor, and was subjected to fire re-
markable for its accuracy, which las an eye
witness informs .us) the command encountered
without finching Capt. johnson was con
apicuous for his bravery throughout the period
in which his battery was engaged, and our in
formant says that not an inch of ground would
have been yielded while man remained Il
serve the guns, had not Gen. Lee, observing
the deadly effect of the enemY's fire, ordered
them to withdraw from the contest. The cas-
ualties, both in men and horses, were heavy
Among the sad incidents Of the battle may
be mentioned the death Of Lient w. Eugene
Webster, of Maryland, chief executive Officer
of the Arsenal, who was acting as Aid to Gen
Rodes He fell in the thickest Of the fight
while calamity cheering on a regiment His
body was brought to the city ON Saturday
Lieut.. W. was relative of Gen Lee.
We regret to learn that Major T. S Skinner,
LIST N. c., was killed i'll the engagement on
Thursday evening, in the attack on the Fede-
raj entertainments
AT 6ARNRTTs FARM.
About eleven o'clock Saturday, Capt. Moo.
dy's battery opened fire upon the entrench-
ments OF the enemy located just beyond Gar
nett farm. The battery fired some ten or ff-
teen minutes, and meanwhile q body of in.
fantry, consisting Of the 9Th and 9Th Georgia
regiments, moved up under cover Of the fire
from the field pieces. The 9Th, IN advance,
charged across ravine and up hill, beyond
which the Yankee entertainments lay. They
gained the first line of works and took posses
sion Of them, but, it is proper to state, this
was unoocupied at the time by the Yankees
The fire of the enemy was murderous, and "a
soon as our men reached the brow Of the hill
rapid volleys of grape, canister, and musketry
were poured into them. 1t was found almost
impossible to proceed farther, but the attempt
would have been made, had not orders been
received 10 fall back, which was done IN good
order, still under fire.
The loss in the 7th 10 reported at seventy
odd men killed, wounded, and missing. In
the 9Th, upwards of eighty. Col. Lamar, Of
the 9th, was severely wounded in the groin
and Sstl into the hands of the enemy. Lieut..
Col Towers was captured, bnt uninjnred. The
Yankees were completely hidden behind theil
works, and did not suffer much apparently. We
took captain, lieutenant, and somo FIVE or six
privates, the Yankee picket force at the point
Later Dag -oftrnce was granted TO take away
our dead aud wounded, but conference with
Col. Lamar was refused. The Federal sur
eeons, however, did not think his wound .
fatal one, and, therefore, would not allow him
