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,

" 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,

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
