FROM CHARLEsroN.


The correspondent Of the Baltimore AMER.
car writes from Hilton Head, August2d:
learn by boat from the South Car0una
coast that quite a stirring little AFFAIR has oc-
Cured at st. Helena Inlet, between here ana
Charleston, which has lasted for three days,
and resulted in the entire routing Of thu enc:
my, the capture of two prizes, number OF
prisoners, and the burning of every house
from which they were fred upon.
The vessels engaged were the schooner faIa,
Captain Furber, the gunboat Sycamore and the
Beaureg ard. The Para was formerly NOR io
tar boat, but she now has fonr thirty Two
FOUNDERS and one sixty four, all rihed. Inc
vessels were attacked from the different plan :
tations by Rebel troops, and the work OF pun.
ishment was carried on with great vigor. the
enemy was routed and whipped At every pont,
an immense amount OF property destroyed and
about twenty prisoners and two
one OF them commencing to load, captured and
brought out Of Mosquito Inlet a number
OF negroes, men, women, ana children, as
usual, fiocked to the gunboats, and begged to
he taken on board. Quite boat load was sent
here to-day ana forwarded to Beaufort to swell
the number already in the Department. ;

Army of the Potomac.

General Patrick, Provost Marshal General
OF the Army Of the Potomac, is about to take
the field ct the head Of division. It Is not
vet determined who his successor will BE-, but
the probabilities are that Colonel Sharpe.
Depnty Provost Marshal General, will take
charge of that department.
Conscripts are daily arriving and being as.
signed tn regiments at the front. Last week,
out of three hundred of this class sent to the
Fifth Corps, two hundred and ninety nine
were substitutes, but one individual being a
drafted man.
The Brooklyn nth regiment has sent de-
tachment to New York for seven hundred con-
scripts, apportioned to that regiment. This
regiment has suffered most severely, and, al
though numbers OF recruits have arrived from
time to time, it now rnusters less than one hun
dred men. Very few officers are left, and OF
the original organization there are less than q
score OF survivors.
During the last week our cavalry have been
engaged in arresting all inhabitants north of
the Rappahannock, far down as Belle
Plain. Among them are number of loyal
men: but to make any distinction in their cases
would have subjected them to the risk OF i'm
prisonment in Richmond, and accordingly all
were brought off. Those who decline to take
the oath OF allegiance will be held for exchange
for Union men imprisoned by the rebels.
A great number OF nine months and two
years troops are returning TO the field, many
of them in the capacity of substitutes. Several
of .heir officers have also rejoined the service.
