Nsw Yom E, Aug. 18 The Steamers North Star and Roanoke, from New Orleans on the 10th inst., have arrived, bringing paiticulars of the defeat of the Miele at Baton itouge, and of the destruction of the *be! ram Arkansas. A. letter from Baton Rouge sap, that Nim's battery thrice repulsed the toe and did great iilaughter among them. Iheckiuridge is said to have lost his right arm by a cannon ball. The beide took place on the edge of the town. General Williams being unwilling to expose the helpless woman and children. We captured a large limber of prisoners, iucluding )apt. Blunt, Brecklaridge's aide. (fen. Williams, who was killed, behaved like a hero, and Capt. Nim's , men are entitled to imperishable glory. The loss of the enemy must have been se vere, as our men charged and recharged upon them. We have taken three guns: Another account says the strength of the troops is variously estimated at from :6,000 to 16,000, under Generals Lovell and Breckinridge. The combat was obitinate.— Our loss is 260 killed and wounded, including a large proportion of officers. The rebel lots, 'according to tie statement of the prisoners taken, was immense. Among the killed of the • ebela , the pante of 'Gen. Lovell is reported. 'A should be Gen. Clark.--Evis.J Tee tam Arkansas was just above Baton Rouge, but dared not take part in the combat. Later accounts state that the Arkansas was aground above Baton Rouge, when the Fed eral steamer Essex and other gunboats went to her and set her on fire, and she blew up. The transport steamer Lewis Whitman ran into the gunboat Oneida, fifty miles above blew Orleans, on the night of the 6th, and the transport sunk. She. had on board the body of Gen. Williams, with an escort of six of his body guard; also, forty-two of our own and three rebel wounded. The body of General Williams mai • recovered, and thirty. eight wounded soldiers and three of the body guard were saved. The official report of Col. Cahill, command ing the post after the death of Gen. Williams, states that the rebel force was about ten regi ments, and that after a fight of great severity, the enemy were repulsed. General Williams was killed by a rifle bail through the chest.— During the battle our forces were at one time obliged to retire about a quarter of smile from their original position. and the enemy was thus able temporarily to occupy the camps of the Twenvy-tirst Indkuut, the Seventh Vermont and Fourteenth Maine regiments, and to destroy much of the baggage and camp equipage. They were, however, driven oat, but our number be ing much lessened by sickness, and the'men in the field being much exhausted by fatigue and heat, it was deemed expedient not to pursue the the enemy, who bad retired several miles, and is still retiring. • I am expecting that it is possible they May receive reinforcements, and am dispoluing of my goops the.strongest positions. OW force. engaged numbered less than .2,600. The enemy bad at least 6,000 men, With twelve pr fourteen field pieces, and some cavalry. The rebel ram Arkausas approached with the intention of swaging our pug:Kno t but greguid ad at a distance of six miles. To-day, eth toy stant, she was engaged by the Essex, and de stroyed by that steamer. Brig. Gen. Clark and his aide, Lieut. Zerger, delivered themselves up- to us as prisoners of war. I have also seventy wounded prisoners and about thirty captured. Breckinridge, on the 6th, asked permission writing to bury his dead. Col. Cahill re plied that our men were engaged in the work, which would soon be accomplished. Passengers from Baton Bongs state that our loss was 70 killed and 216 wounded: Gen. Williams bad three horses shot under him and was finally killed whilst rallying the 27th Indiana regiment, who had just lost a field piece. The •gnu , was retaken, and Gen. Williams fell pierced by several bullets. The wounded are divided among the regi ments about as follows : Twenty-first Indiana, 81; Fourteenth Maine,- 90; Fourth Wisconsin, 10; Sixth Michigan, 26; Seventh Vermont, 16; Thirtieth Massachusetts, 12; Ninth Connecticut, 2. `Among the prisoners is Gen. Allen; of Mis sissippi, who was mortally wounded. 'We glean the following. names or some of the killed from the papers : 'Col. Roberts, Seventh Vermont. Capt„Kelty, Thirtieth Massachusetts. Wounded—Lieut. Col. Keith, Twenty-first In diana; Lieut. Howe, Thirtieth Massachusetts. CONGRATULATIONS OF MAJOR OFNKSAL BUTLER.. Gen. Butler has issued a General Order an nouncing in eloquent language the death of General Williams. He has als o issued a con gratulatory order to the troops on their &ro omful engagement with the enemy, in which he says : • " The enemy lost three Brigadiers, killed, wounded and prisoners, and many Colonels and Held officers. He has More than a thousand killed and wounded. You have captured three piecea of artillery, six caissons, two stands of colors, and a large number of prisoners." TEN FIGHT 01 TS& MIDI AND ANHANSAS A letter from Baton Rouge states that the fight between the gunboat Essex and the ram Arkansas was a fair stand up fight. Captain Porter lay at 300 yards distance, pouring solid 9-inch shot into the Arkansas, tilt a breach was made, when an incendiary shell was exploded in the breach, setting her on fire. The rebel crew left her, and she soon exploded. Lieut. H. A. Colburn, of the First Vermont battery, was drowned near Carrollton, while bathing on the 6th. The funeral of Gen. Williams took place at New Orleans on the Bth, and was very impres sive. The body was brought North in the North Star The North Star passed the Ocean Queen and St. Mary's, bound up the Mississippi. A letter from the Surgeon reports that be saw the dead bodies of eighty-three rebel soldiers in one small corn field at Baton Itimge. Lieutenant Norcross,' of the Thirtieth Mas sachusetts, arose from a sick bed and joined his company in the thickest of the fight, and with his own hand saved a field piece about to be taken by the enemy. . The rebel wounded state that General Rug gles was killed. One of the rebels stated their loss at 800. Rim's batter"' saved the day, when two thirds of its members were on' the sick list. The secession residents of Bitten Rouge fired on our wounded as they were being brought in. Their houses were subsequently palled down by our troops'. Breckinridge, on the morning of the fight made a speech, promissing his men to have his band playing in the State House at nine o'clock A. M. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OP THE BATTLE. The following letter, brought by the Trade Wind, which left New Orleans four days before the date of the above news, is from the Herald. it is interesting from its giving reports of athiirs while the battle was stilrundecided : Naw Okr.sess, La., August 6. We have been attacked at Baton Rouge. The following Is the despatch of Col. Cahill, as brave an officer as any in the field : " HEADQUARTERS Bacon) BRIGADE, Baton Rouge, Aug. 4, 1882. t " Captain R. S. Davis, Assistant Adjutant General: " We are attacked by a very superior force, probably fifteen thousand. They, are deter mined to take the city at any hazard. General Williams is killed; and a number of field officers badly wounded. If it is possible to send no re inforcements, let it be done with all despatch. They navy is threatened by the ram Arkansas, which will divert them from our service, there fore if more gunboats can be sent they will be of 'great use. • "THOS. W. CAHIELL, " Colonel Ninth Connecticut Voluntuars, Com manding." ADDITIONAL PAIMMAIt& Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, the rebels, sripposed to be 15,000 strong, under Breckinridge and Lovell, attacked the city.— The fight lasted some three hours, when the ;rebels were repulsed, but are said to intend a renewal - of the engagement at daybreak this morning. Gen. Williams, in command of our forces, was killed, a cannon ball, taking his head completely off. Our loss was about 250 in killed and wounded, including several field officers wounded. The rebel loss is said. to be greater than our. We captured a number of prisoners, among them Capt. Blount, an artillery officer, and a member of Breckinridge's staff. Blount has been brought to this city. The prisoners state that Breckinridge lost his arm. Lovell was killed, and Capts. Allen sad Chain, of Baton Rouge, and a Lieutenant were killed. It is re ported that we lost two guns and captured three. The last report is, that we have lost no guns. Our force is much smaller than the enemy's. The ram Arkansas was just above, and is expected hourly to make a diversion by at tacking our gnu boats at Baton Rouge. (ben. Butler has been up all night, sending supplies and ordnance to Baton Rouge. He went aboard the flag ship and conferred with Com modore Farragut. The result is that all the fleet, but the Mississippi and Pensacola, left early this morning for Baton Rouge, to take care of the Bam. After Geri. William's death, Col. Cahill, of the Ninth• Connecticut regiment, took command by right.of seniority. Colonel Paine, of the Fourth Wisconsin, has been in this city under arrest, by order of General Williams, but was immediately re leased by General Butler : on receiving the news of the attack, and accompanied by Lieutenant Weitzel, Assistant Military Commander, as ad viser, left before seven o'clock this morning for the scene of action, 'when Col. Raise will assume command. The twits was brought by the gun-boat Ten nessee, and w as received by Gen. Butler at twelve o'clock last night.
