tribute to a'gSllant young soldier of the cele
brated Oglethorpe Light loiaoigy, of this City,
who was severely wounded in ar late battle,
dated June 9th, 1864:
-JVqaira. H. Dear Sir:—l have just
heard that William F. Sbellman, Adjutant of the
,8th Ga. Reg., Vos lost his right arm at the shoal
der. Since the death of Gol. Bartow no officer
In Lha regiment er joyed the confidence aud re
spect of the men more completely than our
frlciul. His place os Adjutant cannot be easily
lilted. No mun has had a better opportunity of
kuowing him tbau I. We messed together,
fought together, and Bbared alike the privations
of the camp. A braver officer, a more sincere,
devoted, frieud, aud a more courteous gentle
man I never knew. 1 beg of you, Judge, to
to communicate to the family of Adjutant Shell
man my sincere sympathy. I never saw a
braver or more gallant officer on the battle field
tbau W. F. Sbellman. Do let me know of his
whereabouts, so that I may write to him. If he
was able to do duly, I would like above all
things to have him assigned to this Post as my
Adjutant. G. O. D.

[Correspond ucu Savannah Daily Morning News.]
James’ Island, nbak Charleston, S. G. 1
July 181 u, 1864. j
Editor Morning News:—As you have doubt
leas learned, the 47th Ga. regiment was detach
ed from Johnston’s army ou the morning of
the 4th inst., to report as per orders from the
Secretary of War, in lien of General Mercer’s
brigade.
It is needless for me to refer to the many re-
regreis expressed by our little band, composed
of the 5'.h aud 47th, at the necessity which sev
ered us Irotn the remaluder of our (Jackson’s)
brigade; and although every soldier felt
.though he were exchanging danger for a life of
comparative ease and comfort, yet in justice to
their patriotism and their extreme admiration
foe tgrf chivalrous Johnston, gladly would
Lhey"fcave.femalned aud shared the privations
as welf at the glory in wait. But the bright
visions of boxes and bundles of good thingt,
fresh from home, and the comfortable quar
ters, und light duty which promised so soon to
take the place of sleepless nights in the muddy
ditches, ^confronted by tho vigilant Yankee
* * 'c, and bacon, were
- fcr
:ptiou which had
been anticipated from the denizens oi your
beautiful city, we learned at Angusta that the
order had been countermanded, the hasty gath
ering up of bag and baggage, accompanied by
many a cress fallen look, the Bhrill scream from
the impatient engine, and we were off for
Charleston.
“Just as I expected,’’ waa often heard among
the many exclamations as we hurried along,
“bound for Jim Island, which is to be held if
the Confederacy goes down.” “Don’t under
stand fighting down there, and need ns to
charge. I reckon they think we are good at the
business,” chimed in some one else. Thnsma
king the best of a bad thing, and preparing for
ihe worst, we managed to "keep up," and the
morning of the 6ih found ns enjoying, In rear of
our guu stacks, as many of the edibles of the
Cbarlesipn market as our straightened finances
could procure. Soon after breakfasting was
beard the well remembered and never to be
forgotten command, “fall in,” and in a few mo
ments we were again on tho tramp for James
Island, sure enough, halted at Battery No. 2, and
.at dark were ordered to move down to support
Battery No. L
Here, Mr. Editor, permit me to apostrophise
the magnitude and sagacity of tho mosquitoes.
At nigbt fall begins their busy hum,and whether
smelling the blood of an Englishman or Rtb, it
matters not, for they remorselessly attack you,
and nnlike the vampire, instead of fanning your
bot brow with their wings while undergoing
the operation of depletion, they have a thous
and allies, more hungry, it possible, to charm
your senses. Villainous serenade.
The night of the 7th was spent on the tramp;
arrived just before dawn at Fort Pemberton-
embarked at 8 o’clock for Towusond’s Landing
on the Stono river. John’s Island lies south of
James, aud in area, considerably larger. After
a couple of hoars march we reached a line
grove and bivouaced. Everything here seemed
to portend a fight imminent,—skirmishing had
been kept* up by the First Georgia Regulars,
oqmmanded by Major Wayne, assisted by a
small;- cavalry force, who had succeeded in ta
lons upon the enemy, besides
tiger wheu he gathers np all hit strength and | turned ; let lffo*ejhreats tie executed. He uu*

Inspired by her intuition, intrepidity and the lrea8 Q D>
fearlessness superinduced by her constant ex-
posuie to danger,leading the van.
▲opltye^ild another storm of leaden hail suc
ceeded* by the same old shout whose fury
drowned even the' roar of artillery at Chickv
mauga, and regardless of danger and life alike,
they rushed up to the enemy’s breastworks. In
their wild impetuosity this frail line of skirm
ishers, though a host within itself, did not cal
culate the actual danger to which they were
exposed. One hundred and fifty yards in ad
vance of the main line (the skirmishers of Bon-
neau’s Battalion having fallen back to the line
of battle divided by a road with thick hedges
which ran perpendicular to the line of entrench
ments,) thus self confident and self reliant they
held their position and continued to pour in
volley after volltfy upon the now retreating foe.
At this juncture the line of battle delivered a
well directed fire, and by the time they bad
reached the breastworks the tklrmlshers were
deployed in front, and #oniin*ied to press the
enemy closely. They made severul ineffectual
efforts to rnlly and were favored by a dense for
est, which afforded considerable shelter. But
the followers of the Stars aud Stripes wurexnost
thoroughly stampeded and were in favor Of
betaking themselves to their gunboats, Leaving
four white uieu and three negroes killed in our
front. _ 9
I learned from a deserter that the . numbers of*
the enemy amouuted to over four < HU*>usand,
consisting of six negro regiments, and three
white. Those lu our front were the 144tfi New
York, 54.k Mass., (white) and one negro regi
ment.
We had quite a rich harvest of spoils, about
400 knapsacks,200 haversacks, 200 canteens, 300
India rubber cloths, canvassed bums, sardines,
concentrated milk, sugar, aud about 150pouuds
coffee, aud other delicacies. This was due to
khc alacrity of the charge made by the skirmish
ers of this regiment. Ou the other parts of the
lines the Yankees had sufficient time to remove
their effects. Since we heard from papers cup-
lured ou the Held that they were all alike pro
vided with a day’s rations.
The fight altogether was most handsomely
conducted. Major Cone exhibited a courage
tiuly worthy of himself and our cause. The
commanders of companies deported themselves
like veterans, and the soldiers, of whom so little
is said, f ought with the same spirit und deter
mination which baa so signally characterized
this regiment upon evory battle field where it
has figured.
In ibis communication 1 nave not sought to
diaparuge any commaud, and 1 would have re
frained from any comment upon our little
skirmish, had it uot been that some papers, in
tbeir eagerness to compiimeui their "pets,"
totally neglected to make honorable mention
of tub regiment the first to gain iheeuemy’s
works, and who lost more men in proportion
tbau auy of the commands engaged.
1 neglected to mention in proper connection
that a few moments after the fight ended, Col
A. G. Edwards look commaud of the forces,
und continued until the enemy evacuated the
Island.
We have now returned to James’ itland.
Everything is quiet. The'enemy’e fluet'have
retired from Stono. An occasional, gun re
minds us that they have not forgoytou how. to
pay their respecta to Fort Sumter.
The weather is fine but extremely warm.

The following account of the villainous con
duct of the Yankees is from the pen of one of
the most estimable and patriotic ladies of C&ro
line:
I nave thought frequently I wottld.write and
give you some account of the outrages commit
ted by Sheridan and his gang of thieviB. We
had saved our horses fiom Grant’s army, by
sending them off, though oue horse and a valu
able negro man was captured alter leaving
home; but my husband escaped with his mules
aud my pet mare.
Our connty suffered terribly from the enemy.
Houses were sacked, all provisions taken, and
Indies’clothes, jewelry, plate, Ac., stolen. Some
few of our neighbors saved a small portion of
corn and meat by biding it, but reserved it only
for Sheridan aud his gang.
We were quietly seated the evening of the
15th Juue, little dreaming the Yankees were so
near, though a meagre rumor, set afloat by du-
sertere, reported them ou tboroad to Fcdericks
burg from Spottsylvania Court House. Sad
denly I heard a yell, and springing to the door,
beheld my busbaud and brother running for
dear life, followed at a short distance by the
Yankees, who were tiring rapidly upon them. I
ran out, beseeching them not to shoot, and ex
pecliug to see oue or the other fall before my
eyes.
The horses lied to a tree in the yard*snddenly
attracted tbeir attention, und thwy took them,
while one, throwing aside his pistol, took his
rifle, knelt, deliberately rested it on the fcuce,
and fired it at brother William, who wa* eross-
iug the open field below the bouee. My husband
secreted himself in a t hicket of elder aud bram
ble aud escaped, though iu their seureh for him
he could have touched them, eo near were they,
but God mercifully shielded him.
The scene that followed beggars description.
The meat-house was soon rifled of its contents,
all of my nice meat, fish, lard, batter, milk,
flour, meal, wine, Ac., were soon taken; my
basement was soon filled with the vile, dirty
creatures, and they stole almost every thine—
knives, forks, spoons, plates, backets, Ac., Ac.
Mary found they bad left in one barrel about a
peck of flour and & little meal, she seated herself
ou the barrel, and saved it ^lotwithsianding
tbeir threats, ahe told them nothing but a bul
let could»move her from that floqr. They could
not find the harness, and we thus saved onr car
riage. They even took the bread that was rising
for-supper, bnt one of the negroes begged it
from them. Tne servants’ 'houses were all
searched.
Oar neighbors have all suffered. Father lost
nearly everything. His tobacco baru was burned

Fremont Ratification Illeetli
Lonli, fliww
On the 25th ult. a graud fallflnatlon meeting
of the nomination of Fremoi*^*aa held f)l St.
Louis, and the largest and most enthusiastic
ever seen in that city.
The five Fremont clubs turned out with ban
ner., transparencies, Union lanterns,caricatures,
triumphs, cars, and band* of music The .treats
were jammed with people of all age* mid sexes.
Skyrockets, roman caudles, and other fire
works, lit up the heavens with a rapid succes
sion of meteors, and the whole German part of
the city was enliveued by shouts aud cheers for
the Pathfiuder. Wheu the torchlight proces
sion formed in Hue, It stretched from the Court
House near to Chouteau avenue, aud presented
an imposing^puctacle.
Some* of tho caricatures were droll aud bu
merous, while .others were less pointed. One
pictured Mr. Lincoln as a political.barber, bold;
ttog a dog between bis legs, eheSringoff bis taiC
inch by. inch, with a pair of scissors, -iu an
other the President was represented as a camel
kneeling before the French Emperor.* Another
represented Lincoln as u couchmuu driving the
car oi slate, with Rluir, Bates, Seward and the
goddess of -liberty as horses approaching a pre
cipice; the people are holding the wheels; bav :
lug cil loose two of the horse-; Fremont with
an axe cuts the traces of a third; the goddess
says.: “Johu, vou had better take chaigp-ofit.”

Threatened Collision ukiwbb.n tub Mili
tant and Statb Authorities of New Yuhk
— We alluded yesterday lb the ihrealcmd col
lision between the military authorities und the
civil authorities ol the Slate of New York. The
Philadelphia Inquirer tells the whole matter iu
the following editorial: * '
Tho new attempt ol Gov. Seymour, of Nfew
York, to get bis State into a contest with the
Federal Governuieut, is progressing finely.—
After a grand jury refused to indict Geu. John
A. Dix for obeying the order of the P esident,
at the lime of tbeseizuie ol the journals which
published the bogus prov'amaliou ol Howard,
Gov. Seymour instructed the State Attorney to
try it again by prosecution before »ume magis
trate. Judge Russell, who bao made himself so
notorious by his parttzan conduct on the bench,
was very properly selected as the “most desari-
iess and fit man” to do the job. His puriiiiity
could not be doubted, and he has entered upon
the work with real satisfaction. The motion
has already been heard by h s Honor.—
Gen. DiX justifies under the official oi der.—
ibe state lawyers have discussed the subject,
aud contended Lhut the order was illegal.-
Judge Russell •bids the case under advisemeut
until Saturday, when he wi;l no doub utter a
long tirade, in which hia desire to embarrass
the Government will be demonstrated, by cooi-
ous quotations, to b«u legal duty. Geu. Dix
may refuse to give bail ID answer the charge.—
What oexi? The former indictment was pre
aeuied upon information by the District Attor
ney. Geu. Dix was not culled upou to* auswer
It until it bad been found by a graud jury lobe
a “.truebill.” Will he submit now to-/tlid au
thority of Judge Russell,'who is siliiug as u
committing magistrate,-tir will he relusO* il
so, wflat is to be the issue?. Will Gov. Sey
mour order out ibe New York troops to exe
cute the process, and arrest the General, or will
the lacier resist with tbd power of. Ibe Uuited
States? if ibe matter is urged to exti'euitries it
must come to this, and what the ulliuuie cou-
sequences may be it would be unsafe to pre
diet. ’
