came so annoying that two companies of
the 2d infantry were ordered out as skir
mishers to occupy them. The remainder
of the 2d, conducted by Capt. Lee, engi
neers. proceeded on tin’s course. Per
ceiving that the enemy were extending to
their left, I ordered (den. Shields to cross
the ravine on our right, and keep up the
left bank on the part previously rcconnoi
tred by Capt. Lee. In the further pro
gress of this portion of Col. lliley’s hri
gade, he was obliged to turn his whole
column to the left to oppose the enemy’s
direct movement down the spur. Capt.
Lee continued his course, supported by
incut. Benjamin’s company, 4lb artillery.
Go coming out in the plain, west of the
Cerro G udo, and in full view of the Ja
lapa road, a battery of five guns, sup
ported by a body of lancers, was discov
ered. General Shields’ brigade was
discovered by this portion of the enemy.
The battery opened with grape on him
and on Lt. Benjamin’s company. The
gallant general, with a shout from his
»-■
men, pushed boldly for the road on the
enemy’s left, who, seeing their position
completely turned, as well as driven f rom
the bill, abandoned themselves to flight.—
Gen. Shields was here severely wounded,
the command of the brigade devolving
upon Col. Baker, who conducted it with
ability. The pursuit was continued as
far as Eucerro, when I was overtaken by
Major General Patterson, United S’ates
volunteers, who then assumed command
of the advance and ordered a halt.
I cannot speak in too high terms of the
conductor Col, Harney, who, united with
ids indomitable courage, possessed tie
cool judgment which enabled him to knew
just how far to advance to obtain the de
sired object. That sterling soldier and
accomplished officer, Major Sumner, 2d
JJrafroons, wdio was in command of the
regiment of mounted riflemen, exhibited
nil the kill and ability rrqui e 1 of a per
u.aucni commander of a regiment, lie
was severely wounded in the hand by an
escopette ball, and obliged to leave the
field, the command of the regiment de
volving upon Major Loring.
Capt. Magruder, Ist artillery, by his
• wary and good management in the face
of the enemy, succeeded in arriving very
near the enemy’s works, driving before
him the parties immediately in front,—
His gallant conduct deserves especial no
tice. Brevet first Lieut. Gardner, 7th in
fantry, w hose company was first sent cn
the hill, by sustaining himself against a
vastly superior force, displayed that ahi’-
iiy as commander of a company w h ch,
on a former occasion, acquired for him
the distinction he now has as brevet first
1 ieutenant.
1 am sorry (hat the advantages gained
over the enemy the first day were at end
ed with some loss on onr side. Besides
Major Sumner, second dragoons, and
Lieutenant Maury, rifle regiment, who
were severely wounded, and Lt. Geo v ge
Il.Goidon, rifle regiment, serving in Maj.
TaleoU’s battery of mountain howitzers,
and Lieutenant Gibbs, mounted riflemen,
slightly, some fifty casualties occurred,
principally in the first artillery and rifle
regiments.
Os the conduct of the volunteer force
under the brave General Shields. 1 can
not speak in 100 high terms. After lie
was wounded, portions of the three regi
•menis were with rne when 1 arrived first
at the Jalapa road, and drove before them
(be enemy s cannoniers from their loaded
guns. Their conduct and names shall be
the subject of a special report, as also
that of the several officers of the regular
army, w ho were distinguished on the o'c
ca>ion.
Accompanied ufifi this, I transmit the
several reports from brigade and regi
mental headquarters, fu all the recoin
mendaiions for praise and promotion 1 en
tirely coi eur.
Although whatever I may say, may add
little to the g<>< d reputation of Capt. Lee, of
the engineer corps, yet I must indulge in Te
pleasure of speaking of the invaluable ser
vices which lie rendered me from the lime I
left tfie main road, until lie conducted Col.
Rilev’s brigade to its position in rear of the
enemy’s strong woik on he Jahpa road, J
consulted him with confidence, and adopted
h;s suggestions with entire assn ance. Hs
gallantry and good conduct, on both days de
serve the highest praise. I again present to
the favorable consideration of the command*
cr-in-chicf, and the President, the names of
inv personal staff, First Lieut. W. T. 11.
Brooks, third infantry A. A. A. G., and first
Lieut. P. W. McDonald, second dragoons,
A. D. C Capt. K. A. Allen, A.Q,. M., ron
4ered me invaluable services, not only in
vomminiichting orders when he was in the
field, but in keeping at hand,tinder all disad
vantages, the necessary supplies for my di
vision. For his services on this, and on for
mer occasions, I most earnestly recommend
him for promotion. To Lieutenants Mason,
Beauregard, and Tower, of the engineers,
and Lieutenant Sikes, third infantry. A.C.S.
to the division, I am indebted for valuable ser
vices. Whilst on reconnoitering duty on I he
12lh, I lost the valuable services of Lieut.
Col. Johnston, who was on duty with me as
chief topographical engineers, and was very
severely wounded cinder the enemy’s works
on the left of the road.
In conclusion, 1 have the pleasure of ten
dering my thanks to the commanders of re
giments and batteries, whose conduct tended
so much to the attainment of our glorious
victory. The Ist brigade, under Colonel
Harney, was composed of the Ist artillery,
commanded by Colonel Childs, the rifle regi
ment, (after Major Sumner was wounded )
commanded by Major Loring, and the 7th in
fantry, commanded by Colonel Plytnplon.
* The 2d brigade, under Color el Riley, was
composed of tne 4th anil er\’, commanded by
Major Gardner, the 2d infantry, commanded
by Captain Morris, and the 3d infantry, com
manded by Captain Alexander.
The volunteer force under my orders was
composed of the 3d Illinois regiment, coin
man led by Colonel Baker, the 4th I linois
regiment, commanded by Colonel Foreman,
and ihe New York reg.mental ommanded by
Col mel Burnett. The field battery was
commanded by Captain Taylor, and the how
itzer battery by Major Talcotl.

S A\ ANN All. May 22.— Cotton. —Arrived since,
the I3th inst., 1,823 bales Upland,* (1.036 per Rail
Road.sll from Augusta, and landings on I lie
river. 213 via Darien,) and 102 bales Sea Islands.
The exports for same period have been 2,998 hah •
Upland and 73 Sea Islands; leaving a stock on
ham! ami on shipboard not cleared, of 21.407 hales
Upland and 2,666 Sea Islands, against 24,326 bales
Upland and 566 Sea Islands, at same time last
year.
Our last report left the market without anima
tion, in which state it has continued the entire
week. The want of shipping, together with a de
cline iu the New York and other markets, has had
an affect to depress prices here, and the sales (with
the exception of a lew lots on the two first days of
our cotton week,) have been made at a decline of
a4 to fc. per pound. The market is 100 unsettled
to quote accurately, and we therefore omit our
usual figures.
The sales of the week sum up 529 hales Upland,
at the following particulars; 16 at 10|; 143 at iI;
IU at llj; 99 at Hi; 17Sat 11 i, 73 at Hi; lU4 at Hi;
sat IH, sod 2()1 Riles at 12 cents per pound. In
Sea Islands, the sales have bc«n 199 bales, as fol
lows: 18 at 20; 23 at 21; 51 at 22; 25 at 23; 53 at 24;
1 at 254, and 25 bales at 35 cents per pound, to
gether with 56 bales stained, at prices ranging from
5 to 10 cents per pound.
Corn. —We hear of sales of about 7.000 bushels
at prices rangi ig from 80 to 874 cents per bushel.
Tw o or iliree sales of 200 to 300 bushels were made
in the early part of the week, as high as 90 cents
per bushel.
Salt. —About 2,926 sacks liavearrived this week
from Liverpool, none of which has yet bde't' dis
posed of. VV e understand it is held at §1,374 pet
suck.
Freights. —Foreign are. nominal. There is hut
one vessel op for Liverpool, and her engagements
are sufficient te (ill up. A -hip, arrived a day or
two since, is now discharging, and will probably
be put upon the berth next week. Nothing up for
Havre. Coastwise.—For New York, the packets
have, been filling up at 4c. per pound for square
and round hales Cotton, and §1,50 per tierce for
Rice. To Boston, last engagements 9-loc. per
pound for square bales Cotton. To Baltimore and
Philadelphia, 4 cent per pound for square and
round bates Cotton. To Providence 4 a Jc. do.
CH A R LESTON, May 22.— Cotton.— Received
the past week by Rail Road, 3507 bales Upland,
water and w agons, 3798 bales—together 7305 bales,
(corresponding week last year 6192 bales ) Ex
ported in tlie same time to foreign 'potts 1604 hales
—coastwise 2195 hales—making the total exports
of the week 4099 bales, and leaving on band a
stock of 52678 bales, inclusive of 6621 Rates on
shipboa d not cleared,against a stuck ol bales
same time last year.
In our last weekly review we noted tbe arrival,
at the commencement of the week, then passed, of
the Caledonia's advices, with the remark that the
Upland market, since their receipt, had been of an
unsettled ami irregular character, and that w hile
holders had been unwilling to subrnil to a decline,
buyers were only wi ling to operate at terms in
their favor. The market on Saturday opened with
a very light demand, at prices assuming a more de
cided downward tendency—the sale’s amounting
to 454 bah*s. On Monday and Tuesday a lew
holders submitted to a reduction of } a }c. on the
lowPr qualities, principally at which standard
sales to the amount of UOO bales were effected.—
On Wednesday this concession was more general,
bringing a few more buyers in the market, when
the sales reached near 96 0 hales. On Thursday
morning, the Britannia’s accounts were partially
received tit rough some of ihe Northers prints, con
veying an important decline in the staple at Liv
erpool. Our market appeared to come to a dead
stand almost immediately, neither holders nor buy
ers evincing tbe least disposition to enter intoany
transactions—not a bale was sold during the w hole
of the day. Yesterday operators were principally
engaged in reviewing their private correspondence,
winch in some measure might account for the
quietness of the market; but independent of this,
the general tone and feeling of holders appeared
not to come up to the expectations of buyers, w bo,
since the accounts, are said to be looking for
greater concessions titan the former for the present
are willing to admit. The sales of yesterday con
sisted of but 35 ( t bales, all by one house, at
prices ranging front II a 114, embracing good mid
dling fnir to fair qualities, and said to be. at an ad
ditional decline of}c. '1 be total previous sales of
the week amount to 2382 hales, at the follow ing
particulars: 80 bales at 12; 209, 113; 235, Hi;
132. 114; 277, 1 li; 423, H 4; 709, 11}: 161, 11; 57,
]ti»; 12, 10}; 27, 104; 50, it)}; and 02 bales Nan
keen at 9 a 9} cents per U>.
In the present extremely unsettled state of the
market, we are compelled to omit our customary
quotations, and until the market assumes again a
certain degree of regularity.

slowly at 7-16 for square bales. For Havre but

NEW URLEANS, May 18. —Monday is pro
verbially a dull day for business, and the inactivi
ty in cur market yesterday certainly rendered it no
exception to the general rule.
Cotton.—ln Cotton there was nothing dene,
buyers showing no disposition to go on at the ad
vanced rates claimed by factors, especially under
the increased difficulties of negotiating Exchanges.
Flour. —The sales of Flour only amounted to
3600 bbls., at G 1*24 to G 25 per bbl. fur Ohio and
Illinois brands.
Com. —Was in moderate request, and 6000 bn.
were disposed of at ?U to 78c per bushel for white

Freights —A brig was taken for Bristol, (Eng.)
at 23d per bushel fur Corn.
MOBILE, May 18, P. M—Cotton — The mar
ket for the past three days has presented a very
dull aspect. with irregular and drooping prices.—
The sales amount to 1200 hales—soo on Saturday,
200 on Monday, and 500 to-day—to effect which
holders submitted to a decline of about «c. per lb.
The closing rates this evening are 10$ a !0?c. for
middling. This sudden turn of the market is at
tributed to the tenor of the private advices per
Caledonia. That it may be, there has been «cufee
ly any demand, and a few holders, wishing to
elose lops, submitted to the reduction named above
—-indeed, in some instances, lower oilers have
been made without finding purchasers.
Exchange. —The transactions of the past three
days have been quite limited, and rates on all
points have declined. We quote sterling 4 a 5
prem; Nrw York Go days 2 a 3. and sight $ a 1 dis.
There is a heavy demand for \evv Orleans funds,
but only very small amounts to he had.
