Usually these mph came and pass on, seeking their work; Lie year they ore stopped at the'bridge' by atliious farm ire, seeking hauls. Black's lime, has been filled with farmers stopping over night, waiting the arrival of the li.irvesters: and some of the einployers in their anxiety for success have put up their horses at Black's and crossed to Wright , :tille, staying there all night, in order to have first chance next morning. We know of farmers near Ci dam tpia who generally employ at least half a dozen hands, making their hay this season +with two—an they can' procure.

"If Sumner would only come! If his reinforcements would only arrive!" 'These were our only words and thoughts, and after waiting some fifteen minutes, the glitter of muskets was seen in the distance advancing tinvards in the now fast waning sun.

At last, all doubt was removed—there was "no mis take about it"—it was Sumner with the long and elision-4y looked fur reinforcements:— Never was a sight so gladly welcomed.

Capt. Urban, his adjutant general, was also unhorsed, and both were gallantly cheering on their men. This, however, was scarcely necessary, for no sooner had the confusion attending the first movements of the on slaught passed away, titan in an instant our men were on their feet, and poured in a withering and telling volley along the co tire line.

The Executive Committee has appointed a num ber of subordinate committees, each with its appropriate duties. They have also se lected a storekeeper and provided a store room.

Movements nfthe Enemy—PrepaW3oßs; for Battle. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TUE POTOMACi Tuesday, June • From the movements of the enemy last night, together with infiirmation received from a contraband, a general engagement was looked for thThs morning. the troops were all under arms nt daylight and every thing was in readiness, but after a slight de monstration by the Rebels and finding them selves promptly met at every point, they re tired to their old position. A terrible storm visited this section last night, lasting about three hours. The wind blew a hurricane, levelling tents and trees in all directions. The Richmond papers complain of the large price paid for substitutes in the Rebel army, many of whom immediately desert. They mention instances where as high as $1,700 and $2,000 have been paid.

The Rebels Claim a Victory—The _Fight Soo to be .TZeneiced Meurnts, June 21.—The Grenada Appeal of the 18th contains the following: The Charleston Mercury, of the 17th, says the Confederate Jose at Seeessionville yester day Was forty killed and one hundred wounded. We buried on the field one hun dred and forty Federals and took forty pris oners. Special despatch to the Augusta (Georgia) papers, dated Charleston, June I.6th,"says: —There was a severe battle this murtiing on James Island, four miles from the city. Five regiments of Federals, with artillery, attacked our batteries at Secessionville. Cul. Lamar commanded the Confederates, and with a'few hundred troops repulsed the enemy three times with great slaughter.— The enemy fought bravely, but were defeat ed, end our next victory was complete. The enemy:s ' f ess is supposed to be about four hundred, including thirty prisoners. Our loss is 'estimated at from fifty to one hundred: CoronetLainar was Wounded and Captains Reed and King.' and Lieutenant Edwards, were killed. The attack will soon be renewed. The Confederates are much exhausted by the previous shelling of the enemy day and night for h week. - Southern Account of the 'tattle of Stono Island [lt will be remembered that the only ac counts we have had of this engagement have been from rebel sources.—En. Sri. [Front tile Clutrle.ton Mercury, June 17] A little before noon yesterday, our city was thrown into a state of feverish excite ment by the vague tidings that there had been bloody work at Secessionville, on James Island. Prom the first, the news was of an encouraging character, inasmuch as we were assured that it mere handful . of our brave troops had rePulsed a heavy column of the enemy, thrown forward to assault the batte ry at Secessionville, manned bia portion of Colonel Lamar's regiment of artillery, South Carolina Volunteers. From the various ac counts which we have" received, we have collated the following facts in relation to the battle: TOE ADVANCE OF TirE ENENT lAbout dawn yesterday morning our pick. eta in front of Lamar's battery were driven in, and almost 'simultaneously the enemy's column was seen some four hundred yards off, advaiteing . wit thl . bayonet at double quick to the assaelt. Our troops within the battery had beed'hird at work the evening before in thtoWing 'up anothotf battery, and were almost worn out with fatigue. The first round that was fired at . ihe Yankees was by Col. T. G. Lamar hithsele fig men hastened with alacrity 'to . their pieces, and were soon pouring grape and canister against the rapidly' approaching enemy.— At each dischargi great gaps were visible in the Yankee ranks, but still they came on, without firing a single volley. It was after wards ascertained that their muskets were empty, and that they had tictntilty 'hoped to carry the battery with the bayonet alone.— But the rapid and fearful cannonade and fusilade kept up against them wero too se vere for their neries, o and ylAcJa close to oar entrenchments they wavered_; reeled, and finally fled in disorder. SECOND AND TIIIRD CIII.I,RpES But a very short time elapsed ,before thn ,e4omy's column, reinforced by infaqtry and artillery, reformed, and again came forward. This time,. they did not disdain the use of cartridges, but poured heavy volleys egainst our battery as they advanced. But again, the terrible discharges of grape and cannis ter mowed down the approaching line, and, notwithstanding the remonstraaces of their officers, again the Yankee broke, and re treated pell-mell from the field. 4. third time, the enemy formed his line and ad vaneed'in a last desperate effort to gain tho battery, but 'again in vain. The assailants had reached the ditcb, and some of them succeeded in mounting tbo' eipbarl:Fput, but they paid for their rashness ~W:iththel:r lives, and their elmrades behind, taking warning from their fate, fled once more— this time not to be rallied to a direct charge. Our men 'all bear witness .to "the obstinate • , , _bravery of the enemy on this occasiop. Between the charges which proved so dis astrous to the 'Yankees, a galling fire was kept up ~g;ainst our battery from three gun boatiTin the creek, about I,7oo:yards east of our position. A cross-fire was also steadily maintained agplast the lend batte ries which cf.ti smet4 had erected 7 oAeon the edge of the wood in which thet.g4t,'Fith the 47th Georgia 11e,giment occurred last week, and another between that point and the position occupied by the gunboats.---- Sherman's famous field-battery also' took part in the engagement, being divided into two sections, which played upon different parts of our works. = It had now become evident to elm enemy that the men who held our bpttery had np idea of yielding it, and the plan of attar from the front was given up. Flanking bodies were thrown forward ,to assault our works from the direction of the marshes which skirted our battery on F".her side. On the east side of the battery the movement was speedily frustrated, and the few bold men who ventured close enough to pour their fire into the post soon fell. No less than seventeen were killed outside tho ditch, and ono who had mounted the para pet fell on the top, pierced by eight balls. FLANK ATTACK OF TILE NEW YORK' SEVENTY- NINTH' (HIGHLANDERS) On the west side of the battery the attack was more serious. The famous Now York Seventy-ninth Regiment'took up a position so as to enfilade our guns, and kept up constant and effective fire of musketry to drive of our gunners. They were met by the Charleston Battalliop and the Eutaw Regiment. For a time the fight was des perate, but the Louisiana Battalion, under Lieut. Col. 'McHenry, came up at the critical Moment in gallant style, and the repulse of tho highlanders was no longer doubtful.— The enemy was, for the last time, forced back with great slaughter, and the day was won. EIMEEEM The list of casualties is given by tbo -Vercury: Among them is the name of Col. Lamar, of the battery, who was wounded, but continued to fight with his guns. Capt. Samuel J. Reed," flat. Liumbert, Lieut. 4. J. Edwards, and Lieut." R. W. Greer aro among the officers killed, and Capt H. C. KiN:, was mortally wounded. 711 E EELATIVE LOSS;IS. Our total loss, as near as we can ascertain, was about forty killeq, and one hundred wounded. The enemy's was far heavier. We buried yesterday one hundred and forty dead Yankees, left on the field. Nye say Yankees, using the designation as one com mon to the whole army of invaders; but, in truth, the men who did the fiAting against us yesterday 'Fere nearly all Europeans, nod in the killed the Scotc type ras mark edly predominant. We captured seventy prisoners. As for tbe number of the enemy wounded . a correct estimate can not by made. Glad ro get rid of the unwelcome task of curing for mcimed vandals, cur luau suffered the enemy's ambulances to approach within point blank range of their guns, and to carry off the wounded, who must have numbered three hundred nt least.
