The Gallant Fight at Grahamviile.
F,om tbe .Ctorle,,on Merreuis,y, Sd irit.


The resultsof the fighting on "Wednesday,
near GrahamvilIe, were most gratifying.
The enemy, as stated in our last :issue, hay-
ing landed his troops from the heet OF tens
ports in Broad river, adveuced rapidly to
wards GrahamviKe. His force consisted. OF
shout 5000 infantry (chieAy negro troops
and 15OO artillery. Call whites.) :.... So
Their advance was marked by an energy
that indicated their refolve to cut their way
to the rail Sad at all hazards and with the
lsast possible delay. The Confederate forces,
desc at hand, were speedily concentrated to
check the advancing column, and, underline
command Of Major-Geperal Gustus ".
gRith, of the Georgia State troops. were
placed in position and prepared for battle.
At eleven o'clock Wednesday morning the
eaemy's advance, supported by sixteen pieces
of artillery, playing on our lines, attacked
Gen. Smith at place called Honey Hill,
three miles easto the yiilage.of &raham-
Vile Our strength, at that time, consisted
of fourteen hundred muskets and seven pie
ces of artillery. We had some few enbra-
sures for open batteries, and slight entrench:
merits on the right and left, but our. line was
necessaEily extended; owing, to the superi-
ority Of the euemJ in numbers, and much ei
it was both light and unprotected: This,
however, only embo,dened our men to greater
deeds, and they fought the battle thrsughout
with an energy ard :Fesolution worthy, Of
veterans.
The fight lasted until dark, and the enemy
made several desperate charges against oul
line, butit stood firm, and repulsed every at
tack, finally driving back the enemy's righ
and centre, but their LEFT stood unmoved a
the close fthe action. For six hours oul
men maintajnedthe fight without relief Late
in the day, Gen. Robertson arrived with the
SD Georgia, a battery Of artillery and q corn
pany Of cavalry, in. time TO render most effec
tive aid. Night came in to close the en-
gagement. which was conducted with yigo
on both sides.
The repulse of the enemy was complete
The snemy's losses exceeded FIVE hundrei
killed and wounded, while, on our side, the,
were less than one hundred-between. teI
and fifteen killed, and about eighty wounded
Nearly all of our casualties occurred amongs
the Georgia State troops, who, by the way
