Hor Work IN SorrH cARor.ryA-GgxERAI.
MIrcaEr.-The report which we published yes
terday from our special correspondent on the
ground shows that the battle at the Charleston
and Savannah Railroad crossings or the streams
at the head Of Broad river, IN South Carolina was
a very 6rcely contested aud sauguinary engage
ment 1t also appears that the special objects
of the expedtion-.a reconnaissance and the de-
struc:ion Of an important railroad bridge--were
accomplished. We are not satisfied, however,
that the results attained will compensate Cen
Mitchell for his losses in the battle. Our forces
were withdrawn from the point where the
bridge was destroyed while the rebels on the
forced, from which we may conclude that within
few days the bridge will be restored and rail-
way travel fully resumed between Charleston
and Savannah.
General Mitchell is q fighting man, and wher-
ever he sees the heads OF the rebels he is apt to
strike al them, without much regard to their
position or numbers. II is evident that he has
commenced in South Carolina that same system
of dashing operations into the enemy's country
which created such a sensation during the sum-
mer along the northerl borders of Georgia, Ala
bams and Mississippi But let him be ad
monished in time that If he pursues too far
these haphazard adventures into the swamps OF
South Carolina be may not be able to get out
again. General Mitchell belongs to the school
Of Fremont, Phelps and Hunter, and his zeal
is apt TO outrun his discretion. General Hal
Ieck, however, we hope, will see that when
General Mitchell goes on another fighting expe-
dition he goes for some object that will pay
expenses, aud with the men and means to ac-
complish it.
