Evacuation of James Island.

We have news by the arrival Of the Man.
tanzas FROM Port Royal yesterday, that
Gen. Hunter has entirely abandoned James
Island. This is, Of course, a complete
abandonment of the attempt upon Charles
ton-a consequence distinctly indicated in
the recent letter Of our correspondent, of
the failure to take the rebel batteries at
Secessionvile. Gen. Benham had declared
that the capture of that battery was essen-
tial to the security of our position and
had ordered the attack upon it to be made
before daylight. By what miscarriage the
attack was delayed we are not informed,
but all the accounts show that Gen. Ste
vens' column, though it had little more
than a mile to march, did not arrive at the
enemy's pickets till after daylight. This
exposed them OF heavy FIRE. which would
have bean avoided by a more exact fulfill
ment of orders, aud involved serious loss
and decisive .epulse. The position, how
ever. seems to have been so important that
while its possession would have given us
an impregnable front, the failure 70 can
ture it makes Gen. Hunters intrenched
camp unrenable. and involves his with.
drawal from the Island.-N y. Post.

The Conflict Before Richmond

The last week has been one of blood and
carnage, in The vicinity of Richmond
Indeed. for many days past, the work of
death has scarcely ceased for "a moment.
Molly have the gallant Mcclellan aud
his brave troops sustained themselves.
The fighting was most desperate. In more
than halfa dozen engagements our brave
soldiers displayed the same GOODNESS and
courage. The rebels, too, fought like de-
mons. Though moved down like grass
before sytbe by our artillery, they renew
ed the charge and continued to fight, appa
rently with the determination to conquer or
die. The slaughter was terrible on both
sides. Ours is estimated at 10000, and it
Is believed that the loss Of the rebels is
much heavier.
Taking all the accounts, our troops have
gained decided advantage. They are
now in position to renew the attack upon
the enemy with surer prospects OF success.
The country awaits the result Of the strug>
gle in almost breathess anxiety. The fate
Of the nation is involved in the issue for
il We fail before Richmond, the Southern
Confederacy will be recognized by foreign
nations.
When we reflect upon the vast number
killed in battle during the past few days, it
is truly appalling The Deaths the suffer
iugs, the bereavements, the anguish and
SORROWS, caused by this war surely is
enough to satisfy the most blood thirsty.
GEN. HALLEcK.-We perceive by the St.
Louis Republican that Gen. Halleck is ex-
pected to return to his headquarters in that
city in few days. During his admins
tration Of this department he has been
warmly seconded by the Government, and
having had the hardest fighting ground on
which to attain the estimation Of the nation
as great General, he has we'll succeeded
in establishing that fact in the minds of his
most distant admirerJ We fully agree
with our cOtem porary, that "he is entitled
to the grsatful regard Of every true lover of
his country"

1t affords US pleasure to announce that at

city, won the first prize, VIII .ch was a beau

lea threw q stream of water 2l7 feet and
6 inches through $50 feet of hose. Several
fire companies from abroad we're in atten-
dance, and the contest between the differ
ent engines was close and spirited. Every
thing however, passed off satisfactorily,
and our boys returned proud of their
achievement.
The America boys speak highly of the
manner in which they were treated by the
iremen ard citizens Of Morris.
A better fire company than America No.

men, and with their powerful machine,
