The Great Battle Four Miles
From Charleston
The pAlME1Tos IN 4 TIGHT PLACE.

FORTRESS MosRoE, June pa steamer
from City Point arrived Last night Richmond
papers Of Saturday contain brief account
from Charleston Of 4 bloody battle fought on
Mondsy last, between five federal regiments
and battery Of Pa1rott guns and parts Of four
confederate regiments and battery
This account derived from the same source
was given in our Cairo dispatches in our last
Issue, received via Grenada, Aiss.-Eps.]
Tie Me7cu7y of the 18th says the battle
would be reneN ed the next day, and expressed
apprehensions for the SAFETY Of the cisy in
consequence Of the great exhaustion Of the
Southern troops and the loss Of many officers.
Generals Evans and Pemberton had compli-
mented the rebel troops for their bravery in
standing up under the heavy fire of s1ells6Sc-,
from our guntoats. The fight took place
four niles from Charleston, and from the
tone OF an editorial in the Mercury, I should
think the rebels have been cut off from re.
treat from James island By our gunboats- Il
this should be Co. Charleston must soon fall,

THE pHESIDENT DEFENDED.

The newspaper correspondents In the
army Of the Potomac agree with singular
unanim;ty t1a, Gen Mcclellan must have
rcinforccments before lie csn make any
offensive demonstrations against Rich
mond; and few Of them, moved there
unto. no doubt, hy the crumbs which fall
from the tables Of generals Who tolerate
such uuisa1ces, arc somewhat loud in their
cenEures of the Administration il sending
forward those reiDtorcements so tardily,
and for not stripping Banks, Shields and
Fremont Of their commands 10 le1p the
G Young Napoleon'' out Of the Chicka-
honainy marsh. We endeayored to show,
Yesterday, that tie mistake is not with the
Administration, in Withholding troops 1cc
cssary to the sure defence Of the Capital );
but in Gen Mcclellan ia putting himself
in position where those troops cannot,
while contributing to the security Of
Washington, swell his offensive force to
such q number that its movements
would crush any opposing army that
could be brought against it. The
EIIQI 0AlN5 1o4A AAG tALAE h4tA VIA. IL
Clcllan, against the adnlonitions Of
wiser heads than his, determined to make
10 pursuit Of a frightened and flying foe
nut to undertake his Peninsular campaign
Dv the direct aud always practicable route
he coud hare been in Richmond more than
six weeks ago, with Fremont Banks
Shields and their several columns at Lii
heels. and if these newspaper cor
respondents who are blowing up tht
Administration for no: making brick:
without straw, are not al the whilt
half drunk on the poor whisky and worss
wine which they manage to spungc out o
tie men whom they puff, they will turn
short corner and put the responsibility to
tie present attitude Of affsir6. not on Mr.
Lincoln, but On the shoulders that shoul<
bear it. In the meantime the couutE,
ought, in justice to Gen Mcclellan, to un
13N4stand that the campaign, since the Iii
cm1arka,ion 1T Fortress Monroe, has co:
The a,n4y more than $4,000 men-doubl

another range, which they will occupy If driven
