The attempt was met by a force of infantry and the enemy retired. No damage was done to the Railroad. Particulars of the Rebel Raid at Tan stall's Station and on the Pamunkey. HEADQUARTERS GEN. MCCLELLAN, Saturday Evening, June 14. The Rebels yesterday, after driving from Old Church a squadron of the Fifth Cavalry, proceeded to Garrick's Landing, on the Pa munkey river, about four miles above the White House, where they burnt two schoon ers, some wagons, and drove off the mules. Here their conduct is represented as bar barous, having killed several of our team sters without any necessity. Those who failed to make their escape were taken pris oners. From hero they proceeded to Tun stall's Station, four miles from White House, with a view of burning the railroad bridge. A train which was passing down at the time was fired into killing two and wounding sev eral. A Colonel belonging to the Excelsior Brigade was there taken prisoner, but suc ceeded in making his escape during the night. A paymaster jumped from the train and hid himself in the woods until morning, leaving $123,000 in the care. The train never stoppe3, but r assed on to White House. After destroying the telegraph wire at this point, they proceeded to Dahlia ire Cross Roads, near New Kent Court House, on their way to Richmond, crossing the Chick_ ohotniny, between Bottom's Bridge and the James river, about ten o'clock this morning. ' The force that accomplished this was coin posed of one thousand five hundred cavalry, and six pieces of r..tillery, under General Stuart, most of whom were residents of that locality, and therefore were no-strangers to the roads. At White House, which is a rendezvous of sutlers and venders of small wares, a regular stampede took place.-- Lieutenant Colonel Ingalls, comma :dint at that point, had all the corps orrierel Ottt'and posted in favorable positions Id resist nay attack that might have been made. The ma:l boat Nellie Baker, which left this morning, was crowded with hangers-on of the army and civilians, who thought Fort Monroe to be a Togc congenial climate than I OU Church. Mil The Rebels had in reserve six regiments of infantry, with artillery. As soon as the facts were known pursuit by cavalry was immediately orderei, but the enemy having o much c.f a start only five men were cap tured. Sereral arrests have been made to-day of citizens within our lines on suspicion of hay ing given information to the enemy. g7 ..'

We arrived here on the morning of the Gth inst., having made easy marehei from our old camp near Corinth. Gen. MeClem). and's corps d'arrrise now occupies the whole country north of the Memphis and Charles ton Railroad, between the Tennessee ricer and the Mississippi Central R tilroad. We have a large force at Bolivar, 30 miles west on the railroad from Grand Junction to Jackson, and we occupied Jackson yesterday driving out the Rebel cavalry, our boys eat ing the warm dinners of the Rebels. We have seized some five locomotives, quite a lot of rolling stuck, and large quantities of Confederate forage and stores. Gen. McClernand has shown wonderful energy in pushing forward his forces, °con tying important points, and opening rail load and telegraphic communication with Corinth, Jackson and Bolivar (via Jackson.) We 4pect to be in communication by rail and 'telegraph with Columbus in a few days. Our . c . evr.l.ry at'e rapidly driving the armed Secesh Mtn this region entirely:— They liav'e b - een . icattered over the country in littlelaniio, niaking Jackson their ren desvouz,burning cotton and destroying other property. They had a large hospital at Jackson, containing some 209 sick Rebels, that our troops took possession of. The force under General Ca.e C donel of the Twentieth Illinois) .Nriiislt left here on the morning of the 7th, and marched 35 miles, arriving Jackson at 3 P. M., on the'Sth. We are daily taking prisoners and desert ers from the Rebel army. At Bolivar Gen. Wallace took a whole company (except five) that had deserted. The company had been organized. at Bolivar some months since.— Thonsnods have been taken, and released on taking the oath, since the evacuation ef Cor inth. The Tennessee an 1 Kentucky troops have left the Rebel service in groat numbers. A large p.roprtion taken are of this cktss, dr Northern men who have been pressed in to the Southern army. It is quite evident from reports of deserters that the Rebel forces are very much demoralized, and are deserting in large numbers, in some cases whole companies and regi.nents having been disbanded. This station is 22 miles north of Corinth. It is called Lossburg, I believe, though the Rebel post office was Bethel. We are 4/ miles west of Purdy, 35 miles from .Jackson, and 122 miles from Columbus, Ky. Our forces on the other railroad at Bolivar occu py a large scope of country in front of them towards Somerville, and will doubtless oc cupy Grand Junction in a very few days. The Attack on Charleston. A correspondent, writes from Stono Inlet under date of the sth instant, give these par ticulars of the advance of oar f..rees upon Charleston. —Nothing of importance occurred until our arrival on the sd at Legarerille, a small village containing twenty-fire or thirty dwel ling=., situated on th: , left bank of Stone ricer, where we dropped anchor under the friendly u.uzzles of the Pawnee. Leg.,.r.c ville was found deserted, not even a contra band showing his face. The place contains two churches, both of which hare been de spoiled by the enemy.

About two o'clock nest morning our pickets were fired upon. A skirmish ensued, resulting in the repulse of the Rebels, and their retreat to the negro houses formerly owned by Legare, about one and a half miles from the landing. "The firin'ff was renewed on the 3d, and eeinforcements were sent from the New York Seventy-ninth (Highlanders), the Pennsylvania.

KIMBALL'S PLANTATION, JAMES ISLAND, S. C., June 14, 18G2.—Our forces have oc cupied this point since Monday last, without any molestation further than an occasional shot from the enemy's pickets, until yester day afternoon, when the Rebels appeared in full farce, with the apparent intention of driving us of-' the island. At three O'clock yesterday afternoon the pickets of the Forty-seventh - New York Vol unteers—who were posted, fifteen in number, at the outer edge of a strip of woods;about a half a mile from the shore—Were suddenly surprised by the advance of the enemy. A few shots were exchanged, when our senti nels fell back to the open field on this side, where Company D, of the Forty-seventh, Captain McDonald, was stationed, with por tions of Companies I and [I, of the Forty fifth Pennsylvania on the left, and another of the Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania on the right. Here our boys made a stand, driving back the enemy with heavy loss. After a cessation of the fire for about twenty min_ utes, a Rebel Regiment, which proved to be the Forty-seventh Georgia Volunteers, came can tiously down through the underbrush and renewed the attack with great vigor. Meantime our position had been in a meas ure strengthened by Company G, of the Forty-seventh New York, and two additional companies of the Pennsylvania regiment, together with a section of Hamilton's Bat tery (regulars), which was planted on our left. •E think no battle-field of this war has been the scene of more tenacious, determined and gallant fighting than then ensued on the part of our men. rrom the peculiarity of of the country, which abounds in all por tions with thick underbrush, the enemy were enabled to keep themselves under cover, while our men were either obliged to hunt them from their hiding places, or wait fur uncertain gli npses through the dense shrub bery. l'qutwithsta nding these disadvantages, our men behaved like veterns, standing up before the enemy's galling musketry without wavering or wincing. Captain McDonnld's men, of the Forty-seventh New York, emptied their cartridge boxes on the ground before them, and maintained their position, though the enemy was, at one time not more than ten yards in front. Their fire, as well as that of all our troops, was most effective; and after charging wildly at all points of the line, the Rebel commander gave up the attempt, and his forces fell back in hotter haste than they .came up. Seventeen of their dead lay on the field, and eight of their 'wounded, two of whom have since died, wer picked up and tenderly cared for. Light Company E, of the Third regular artillery (Ilamilton'a Battery), or at least that portion of it engaged, made some splen did shots, and rendered effective service in propelling the Seeesh out of the bush. Cap tain Llamiitoa . received a bullet and some buckshot through his garments, but was un injured. Colonel Gass of the Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania, who had corrimand of our forces during the fight, rode gallantly up and down the line, encouraging his men, and, though prominently exposed in the thickest of the fight, escaped without harm. There were numerous other hairL•readth es copes, to be accounted for only by the fact that our fire Was so rapid, and tho smoke, in consequence, so dense, as partially to keep our men from view.

The Rebel loss it is tboiaght, can not have been less than from seventy-five to a hundred in killed and wounded. — Captain Williams, before his death, left messages to be sent to his family, and desired that his personal effects should be preserved by the surgeon, whose kindness to him, he said, was altogether unexpected. Sergeant Thomas Weber, of Company A, Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania Regiment, tent shot through both thighs while out on picket on John's Island, a few nights since, and privates Black and Deesom. of the same regiment, were also wounded in a brush with some mounted Rebels on Saturday last All will recover. From some of the wounded prisoners we. learn today is fixed by the Rebels for a general attack on our forces, with i irierw to drive us from the island. Up to this, hour (ten o'clock). we have co symptoms :of.any movement' on their part. Battle of Port Republic:. Partietslars of the Battle between General ' • Shields and .7acksori. FRONT ROYAL, June 15.—The results of the &Ate of Fort Republic on Monday last between a portion of Shield's Division and Jackson's army are now ascertained as near as can be. ,The names killed given are known to be among the killed and wounded, although many classed among the missing are no doubt badly injured; but our troops being compellen to retire before a force as superior in numbers as iu aH other respects, except bravery, many were necessitrily.left on the field, whose names could not be as certained, atid'of the large number classed as missing many will doubtless make dray way back to their regiments. The force engaged was Composed mostly of Western men, who did their duty well, as evidenced by their fig tiitir a foe ;more than five times their number for fire licitirs then retreating in order, excepting one or two regiFients which Were completely sur rounded and compelled to take to the moun tains, many Of whom made their way back to the division. The Seventh Indiana'Regi ment, Colonel Gavin, did noble duty, hold ing their position on the right for four hours against a vastly superior force, repeatedly charging and driving the enemy like sheep. They left Fredericksburg 800 strong and ar rived at Port Republic via; only 300, the remainder being left aldni,tba route siiik and disabled, and after th6,4ght they mus tured only about 140, losing mote than half their force. The Twenty-ninth and Sixty sixth Ohio re.;:s,iments also lost heavily, as may be seen by the list of casualties. The three batteries of artillery, Clark's Robinson's and Huntington's are entitled to great praise fcr the gallant part they took in the 'action. Hod the first and second brigades been enabled taycack, the scene of action an entirely diTerent result would un doubtedly have ensued. After Moneisy's fight it is understood that Jackson took tl;er road toward.; Stannardsville, passing throuc c h the Gap of the Blue Ridge rnoutitainii in to line for Gordonsville, at which paint there is a Railroad communication with Richntorid.

M., next, day that we might reach Port Republic at the time you indicated to me. When within about six miles of the town, I learned Act ing-Brigadier General Carroll, with the Fourth Brigade, had engaged the enemy at or near the town. Immediately I halted my train, clearing the road for the troops and artillery, and pressed forward to his sripport as rapidly as possible, reaching the position occupied by him, some two miles north of the town, at two o'clock P. M. Sth instant. The position was selected by Colonel Daum, I understood, as the only tenable ono in that vicinity. From that officer I learned the enemy had eighteen pieces of artillery Planted 's,ti as to completely command all the approaches to the town, and from the en gagement with General Carroll that morn ing, had obtained the range of the digerent points. Immediately on the arrival of my command, Colonel Daum urged an attack with the combined force of infantry and ar tillery, to which. Iso far consented as to order the infantry into position under cover of a thick wood which skirted the road, acid commenced observing tho' enemy's position myself, which impedred to me trite to day an army of fifty thousand men. I at once sent fir Colonel Carroll, Lieut. Colonel Shriber, Captains Clark and Rubin son, who hiedbeen overthS Otiond: they till agreeing in the opinion that an attack would result in the destruction of oar little force. About this time your erder to - Commandant of Port Repuldid" was banded toe; uporiii and theopmion of these officers I ordered the infantry back to bivouac fur the night. A heavy picket teas kept 'well to the front to observe any inevenient of the enemy, and at 4 A. M., General Carroll and myself went to the outer videttes, who reported that there had been no woven ent of the enemy amiss the bridge during the night, their pickets only appearing, which we were able to dig , cover ourselves. We returned to camp, and a few moments after your order of June Bth, "i't P. M., from Columbia Bridge, reached me, and wkile writing a reply was informed that the enemy were advancing upon us, or rather into the woods opposite their position, evidently with a view of outflanking us upon the left.— Captains Clark and Robinson opened their batteries upon them with effect, and Captain Iluntiogton's guns were soon doing the same good work. Two companies of skirmishers and two regiments of infantry were ordered into the woods to counteract this movement of the enemy. The lire of our skirmishers was soon heard, and I ordered two mere regiments to their support. A sharp fire was kept up in the woods, for a few moments only, when the enemy retired, and was soon seen coming out of the woods, crossing to join a column moving upon our right. In the meantime a section of two guns hod opened upon our battery on the left - , and another section was taking a position on our right. The Seventh Indiana Infantry, Colonel Garin, was sent to the extreme right, and was met by two Rebel regiments, under cover of the river bank.— A section of Captain Clark's Battery took a position well to the right. The fire of the enemy, from their masked position, com pelled Colonel Gavin to retire a short dis tance, which he did in admirable order. The Twenty-ninth Ohio was sent to sup port him, moving forward in splendid style on double-quick. The Seventh Ohio, was next sent forward to support Capt. Clark's guns; - the Fifth Ohio next, to support a sec tion of Captain Iluntington's Battery. These two last named regiments moved forward and engaged the enemy in a style that com manded t!b admiration of every beholder. Regiment after regiment of the enemy moved upon our right, 'and the engagement became very warm. The First Virginia, Cu!. Thoborne, who had been ordered into the wood oh the lift; was now ordered down to the right, entering ther open field with a loud Omit. My entire • force was now in posiii3n. Oa our right was "the Seventh Indiana, Cot Gavin; Twenkii-ninth Ohio, Col. - Buckley ; Shventli 'Ohio, Lieut. Col. Creighton; Fifth Ohio,Cot Bening; First Virginia, - Col.
