THE FIGHT AT JAMES ISLAND Letter from an Officer of the Army. [We ere permitted to publish the following letter, written by an officer in the army, to his father in this city,,as a correspondence of con siderable importance and interest.—EDlTOß TELISGILLPH.I . We a rhaie bad'oulte spirited fight here, and I take this, the lira opportunity, to give you a detailed account of it. : The rebels have a fort back of us from which they shell our camps continually, killing or wounding three or four men every day. We put up during the night a battery to act against it, but not of sufficient strength to silence it. It was resolved on Sun day last to try and take the place by assault. Stevens, (General) was to, assault the work on the sight with a strong storming column ; Wright and Williams were to advance on the left, prevent reinforcements being advanced, and support Stevens. The attack was to be made about half-pait three o'clock. At three on Monday morning Gen. Benham and Staff took a cup of coffee and some crackers, and off we etatted. The night had - been dark and rainy, but was nosy- clearing off. Benham re marked that be feared the devil would take care of hie own, and give them too much light. When we got'on the field, regiment after regi ment was filing by. From Pennsylvania we had the Forty-fifth, Seventy-sixth, Ninety seventh and One Hundreth regiments, who did great credit to themselves. We soon got near enough to see the dim outline of the fort.— Every eye was turned in the direction of Ste yens, but still no word of him. Soon we heard a shout, accompanied by the rattle of musketry. A moment after the whole fort seemed a blaze of fire, and belched forth shot, shell and canis ter at a fearful rate. It was now daybreak, and we saw masses of , our troops moving to the rear. A Captain c ime galloping up to us with his left c)teek and left eye tore away by a grape shot. He told its the tree story. Stevens wishing to'cover the advance of his column, had opened too soon with his battery, which aroused the garrison. The Eighth Michigan regiment, which was in advance, started for ward upon such a rapid run that , the ri st being in a more denee formation could not keep up Two leading companies passed every obstruc tion, reached the top of the parapet, and fought hand to hand with the enemy for some minutes The supports were then opened upon as they advanct:d from batteries of artillery and mus ketry in flank, which made them waver. The ad vatice seeing their supports stopping and ex posed to a murderous fire tram all sides, fell back, and all then retreated fn confusion. A boy who came by abet through the body and leg confirmed this Amy. He had jus , breath enough to tell the story and then isto.k down. Probably be died there. New was our time to act. Hamilton's battery (regulars) opened spleudidly, and four of our reg meuts advanced behind a hedge clew enough to yp -u • with musketry. The whole fire or the tort was now directed upon ua, and the slaughter : uecame terrible fur a while, cons:deriug the number eugaged. At first we could take some notice of individual shells ' but soon they came as fast as hail and we had to give thia up. A. egiment close by was staudiug up; I took an order fur it to lie down ; just then a whole discharge from the fort passed close above their ueads without hurting any one. A shell struck the ground under a captain's feet and let him , down into the hole it made without injury. He jumped up, crying "All right, boys, no body hurt !" Tho horses that were struck ut tered the most unearthly shreiks I ever heard. A shell lodged in a horse's body just after his rider had dismounted, and exploded, tearing him all to atoms. I had just returned to Gen. Benham after coming from Hamilton's battery', when a large shell burst within four feet of my horse, covering me with earth. A piece ate- ck the first and second fingers of my right hand, but merely bruised them, pressing the . blood op between the finger and the nail. lam wiithsg with them to-day, and feel no inconve nience. 'I got splattered in . the face several times, and once got a pin scratch on my lett cheek, but did not know it till after the bat tle. Williams' brigade had got partly in rear of the fort, when reinforcements came down in that direction and exposed him to a cross fire that nothing could withstand. I went to him to ordee him back. The men were already commencing to give way slightly, and it was with the greatest difficulty he could get enough to go out and carry in the dead and wounded. Shots seemed to be coming from every direc tion at this - place. Were I to live to be a hun dred, I would never see them come thicker or faster: The ground was cut up by deep ditches, which made it difficult to pass over. I have now a' great long-legged home, and he jumped them all like a deer, while many a horse went down in them. Stevens was now ordered to form another . storming column, and some of 111,518,886 58,887 50 4,060 tO 1,400 0U 6,875 00 n , aITEHLER Wright's brigade was to assist him. Williams was to hold the left. The fort had now been played upon by two batteries of artillery and a heavy fire of musketry for three hours. Just then the navy opened from their gunboats, lying two miles off. Gen. Wright had re quested them to open on our left to prevent an attempt to outflank us in that direction. In stead of this they opened upon our own troops. One of their shells killed one of our men and wounded five. Another broke a gun carriage all to pieces. Yon cannot imagine the effect this had upon the men. The fire for a while was worse than the slackened fire of the enemy. It was impossible to retain our posi tion, and an order was at once issued to fall back. The assault which would now no doubt have been successful was given up, and we all came home. We gained — a good knowledge of the ground and so damaged the fort that it no longer shelle our camps, but we failed in accomplishing the real object of the attack. Our loss is 678 killed and wounded. All the houses near were taken as hospitals, and after the surgeons had once got to work they pre sented a terrible scene. The ground on the outside was strewn with amputated limbs waft: parts of clothing hanging to them. It was now raining hard, which gave a more gloomy aspect to the seine. Our men bore everything with great fortaute. I only heard four out of the whole make any noise or complaints. We had been under fire about four hoar_ i s and have met,about six thousand engaged Had S" na advanckd when it was still dat k and nut opened at alt' with artillery, or had the troops had good officers, as they say theme Ives ; and bad the navy exercised a little common sense, we would'certainky have taken the work. This would not futVe beau of any permanent advan tage, hoWovor, for we stand hour 9,oooagairos JAIL ISLAND, S. C., June 18, 1862. 15,000 of the enemy. It will show the north, however, that since they have refused Hun ter his modest request of a reinforcement of 10,060 men, he is determined to make a - push with what he has, and if defeated here it will be owing to the want of rein forcements. Hunter was at Hilton Head when the battle occurred, and the command devolved upon Benham. The Generals all behaved splendidly on the field. Among the many incidents of the day, I must mention the conduct of a big Scotcbman in the Highland regiment. He, was one of the first to mount the parapet and there saw a man whom he re cognized as having abused him when a prisoner in Richmond: He grabbed him by the neck and brought 'him away with him. He keeps him in his tent, says be is his own prisoner and nobody shall take him away. So for the Gen era' has indulged his whim as a reward for his gallantry. Only one staff officer was wounded, Oapt. Lusk. He was shot in the arm. We lost some of our finest officers. I suppose nothing will be done here for the present: We can hold our position with the greatest ease, but are unable to advance. Probably this affair will be the means of bringing us some reinforcements. We have just heard a rumor that Richmond is taken. I only hope it may prove correct. We get many rumors here. The rebels do not let the soldiers hear any news, except what they manufacture for themselves. Most of them believe Beauregard and Jackson have taken Philadelphia, and are on - their way to New York—that the Yankees cannot hold out many weeks longer. We hear by a flog of truce sent to recover some of our dead, that the rebels give us credit for a most desperate attack upon their work. H. P. BY TELEGRAPH. GLOROUS NEWS.

Generals Jackson, Price and Beau regard at Richmond. Reported Engagement. No Person Permitted to Leave the White House. Refugees who have been taken by our gun boats to-day, report that the rebel Generals, Jackson, Price and Beauregard are in Rich mond and will be assigned important commands shortly. • A rumor prevailed in the rebel camp yester day to the effect that Jackson's forces had arrived and had turned M'Clellan's right wing. This may be the origin of the rumors of a recent heavy engagement. Gen. McClellan has issued an order probibi-, ting all ununiformed persons from leaving White House. No soldiers, sick, wounded or well are allowed to go north of White House tor a few days. SALUTE IN BALTIMORE.
