the officers of his own regiment—Merrill's

CpArtu.s:r9?7, S. C., January 31.—Sever
al days ago General Ripley despatched a
force of artillery, commanded by Lieuten
ant Colonel Yates, to James island, with
the design of attacking the Yankee gun
boats cruising ,in Steno Ricer. About
eight miles from the city Lieutenant Colonel
Yates p“sted his guns, twenty-one in number
in a semi-circle, stretching on both sides of
the river, around the gunboat ,John P. Smith,
and at four o'clock yesterday afternoon
opened a concentrated fire upon her. She
replied with broadsides 7 The engagement
lasted one hour, when the gunboat hauled
down her flag, surrendering unconditionally,
with one hundred and eighty prisoners.—
She carries eleven guns. Our loss was only
one man wounded.
The John P. Smith had eight killed and
fifteen wounded. The chief engineer, Tur
ner, was killed.
The John P. Smith is now safely anchored
under the guns of Furt Pemberton. Site.
has one Parrott gun, ten eight inch guns,
and one thirty-four pounder. She will soon
be ready for sea.
Ninety-four prisoners. including three
negroe., from the John P. Smith, arrived
here this morning.
A Yankee gunboat came to the mouth of
she Stone river this afternoon and fired fire
shots, but soon retired. She did no damage,
and so no one was hurt on our side.
Two prisoners—Lieutenant Sheldon and
Engineer Prindler—captured while on a
gunning expedition on Bull's I.land, were
brought in to-day. They belong to the
steamer Flambeau, blockading the port of
