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

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

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.

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.

state that the fleet after the recent battle pro
ceeded up the river as far as Crooked Point,
but cut off in cons quence of low water, and
compelled to return. All the distance up and

Enter the car, if you please, and question
the passengegs, and see what portion of
them appreciate the service of the Engineer.
First disturb for a few momenta the equi
librium of one of our lashiouables, and ask
what she know.' of the Engineer, (as she
sits reading the late trash of some favorite
author, occupying two seats with her crin
oline, to the horror of the ailverhaired gent
who has been standing for the last half
bour,) and she will probably tell you that
the term is foreign in her vocabulary, but
thinks, however, it may be applicable to
the animal creation, but whether of the
carniverons, herbivorous, or amphibious
species, she is not able to define. Then
ask that sanctimonionsilooking individual
who is about to draw the curtain in one of
the magnificent sleeping-cars that are now
provided on the beat of long routes, and
he will tell you that he is not under the least
obligation to the Engineer for a pleasant
sojourn in the land of Nod, but wholly to a
kind and overruling Providenoe, that doeth
all things well.
Next consult that Jonathan who has
already laid his extended form into a
berth, with his boots on, and those to
well encased with dirt, and he will tell
you' with a stare, that he has P.m) uis
passeaz—and if disturbed in the least,
either by breaking his nap or his neck, he
will prosecute the company to the extent
of his ability 1 Lastly approach that man
of business and observations, and his ready
response will be, that it may be very good
logic for one party to trust in Providence,
and for others 'to proceed to prosecution
after their necks are broken, but as for him
self, he desires a careful Engineer who is in
charge of good rolling stock, and he is then
ready to take his chances, and those chances
are decidedly favorable. Few look at the
matter so philosophically and properly as
he.—Commercial

A limy GRAPE ENPXY.—In 1860 we dis
covered among our grapes a destructive
enemy which we had not heard of before—
a dark green bug—which about the middle
of May laid its eggs upon the leaf, and these
eggs, by the latter part of the month, pro
duced a slug, which preyed fearfully not
only upon the leaf but upon the fruit blos
soms. The leaves they would eat half up,
and whenever they attacked the blossoms,
there would not be much of them loft. We
have seen them almost buried in the blos
soms, utterly destroying them. Thus far
this season, however, they have been very
few in number, and done no material dam
age, end we believe the crop is pretty se
cure against them. We dislodged the bug
by application of whale oil boa') water,
which destroyed those which it touched,
and we believe kept others sway. It also
destroyed the , slugs when they could be
got at. We usi-d a sponge to sprinkle
with, as being better than a syringe, it
wasting less of the solution, and requiring
only one hand, while the other tould be
employed to turn up the vines, &c.
Tub crop of grapes in this region never
promised a mote anundant yield than it
does n o w. We think there is twice the
amount of eir bryo bunches upon our vines
that we ever saw before. Beside all the
