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. From Juiocn’ Island, H. ti. [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* courage lor a daring le»p ; a wild .hont, who«e , derstood that an order had b«nl«fiuejl for hi. i ... . ’ , . i arrest, but that It had been tawed.

It waa a glorious little charge-lbe 47lb, , ‘ible. but, by Ibe eternal 004., forcibly,!! we , , ... , , ... „ .. ,. must, aud you may make the most of It that 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. C. A. D. Igrnw iha KIrhmnnit Oentiuel, July 15.) Oalrakfct of irt-twi— y Gouutj, Vlrglula. 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 the negroes. Some of.oar neighbors have 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.” In another L'ncoln ia-^iimed as rt tightrope performer, walking witW.unsceady hteps, having lost bis bAlmclngr dropping hi* car pet suck, $700,000,000 orpatronage, army cum missions, etc. Stroug speeches were made by Euiil Pret.ori- us, Mayor Thomas, Col.

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.
