svverel Norihurw regiments returned from (.'on
treadle to Washington on the morning of the
battle of Manass.i*. Their time had expired,
and they marched away from the batik • trill to
the music of our oannon.
Tho 14tb Jdialaippi Regiment, whose term of
aetvivo hud expired uoiuo days before the late
great battle on the Tenaoeueu, pursued a very
different course. Anxiou* to strike a blow for
their native land* they doturuinod to rent ain un
til after tbs battle They did remain, and moat
gloriously did they uphold the l!#g of their gal
lant Stale. Having done their duly, as well as
to their country, they will now return home on a
short visit, and than re enter tho eorviee for the
war. Their noble cxuuijfc should not be lost
upon other six and twelre months troops.
One company in Blythe's Mississippi regiment
lost 42 io killed und wounded. The lons of the
eotirs regiment, including tho Colonel, was 221.
The Tannossconns and Kentuokians fought with
great spirit, and prored (hum solves to be the wor

The eondition of affiirs up the Mississippi riv
et Is by no means satisfactory. Tha reduction
of Island 10, though anticipated, is a very e
rluushlow, and will be followed soen, I fear, by
the fall of Fort Pillow. There would beno diffi
culty in holding tho river against gunboat* alone
but tho case is very different when there 1* a
large oo operating land force. I need not safer
to tbs deplorable consequences that would follow
the fall of Fort Pillow; they will readily occur
to the wind of every intelligent reader.
Five of the enemy’s gunboat* and three
morlsr boats proceeded io Fort Pillow Sun
day morning, the 13th, ond opened fire upon [
the garrison. Thd bombardment continued
without results np to ten o’clock, ut which hour
the courier left. Firing was heard here na
late at two p. tn , by persona who were out on

death of Gen. A 8. Johnslou, and was teld by
prisoner, a Lieutenant, that Bushrod John
son, who escaped from Fort Ikmelsoa, was al
so killed. He thinks all reports about Deaure

of the New- Orleans Creole lUttalion, taken

(ks Saturday before the battle, in which he
told them that the result was s sure thrag,aad

railroads. If they lost the day, he said they
might as well lay dowa their srtu* and go

Tha city w as fi led with rumors yesterday of
tbe approaches of the enemy, but we were
uaatle to trace them to aay reliable source.—
It is geaerally believed that he Yankee, b***
evacuated Tybee, aud that the-y are endeavor
ing to plant bstlene* to commaud our river
dufeace*.
We heard nothing yesterday from White
uiarsh Island, where two rcguueula were seat
ou Thursday, though musketry was reported
to have been heard ia that direction last eve
ning.
W# understand th*t th# .nvrny ha vs landed a
considerable fores ou klba IsUoJ, for tho pur
pose, uo doubt, of planting batteries there. ■
Th# steamer Savannah is reported to have gone
down yesterday afternoon to shell them off the
island. It is Iu be hoped that tbe Yankee* will
Dot be “permitted to occupy tbe island within
reach of our troops, and deliberately erect bat
Uriel to command our river defeases.
Tbe steamer St. John's report# >*ne gunboat, a
hermorphodita brig and one strainer at Venus’
Point, and that there are five or six vessel* in
Tybee Hoads. One schooner was lying at the
wharf near Fort Pulaski. - So a. News, 2bi.
From the Nor oik Day Book, 31 it.
Skirmish nor Suit! lilts.
Wo learn that the enemy lauded in a force
suppesed to be from five to eight thousand strong,
at Hiohardaan'a Landing, some three or suer
miles the other side wf South Mill#, ou Saturday
last. Oar information is not pu.-itive, nor have
wo seen any official account. By seme it is aaid
they Lndad at the above place, and by others
that they lauded lower down and marched up to
Richardson’*.
From (h M Lust information we can get, we gath
er that Colonel Wright, with a portion of the 3d
•faoigia Regiment, and Capt. M Comae’ compa
ny ot arulleiy, in all 6UU men, met them
at tbi* point, while “it ibeir march, and that the
artillery suddenly uuioigcd from thvit concealed
position w buu the enemy i within tUO yards of
them, and opened a dead'y tiro upan them, with
grape and canister Thi* was supposed to be
about II o'clock <>n Saturday, and from this time
until 5 o'clock p. tu., the battle raged, .ur small
force repeatedly falling b< k, until iht-y got be
hind tbeir entrenohmeuts, where they m*te a
eland *ud aunt off far roinfurcciueots.
It i* said the rosiatanc* by our troops was of
the most determiutd nature, and kept th* enemy
hack much lokger than t wa* thought possible
tu do, in view of bis overpowering number*.
Tbe first and second vidattes stmt off from the
scene of action reported groat slaughter among
the enemy, and that none of our force* were hurt.
Uut later in the day the news aoi# in that we
had lost 15 krieJ ai.d about 50 wounded. Among
ths kilted wu learn is Capt. McCouia*, of tho ar
tillery company, aud Liout Harris, of thu .‘hi
Georgia. The bodies of the kiilud, wa learn ar
rived at Deep (.‘reek on Sunday morning. Capt.
Mr Comas wu barn w#s kilted by a Minnie ball
entering In tha vicinity of bis heart.
A report reached here yesterday morning that
Col. W right's tercei had fallen a< kto thu “Hnlf
Way House,” this side of tb# South Mill*, where
they a e Ik ing rapidly reinforced
Ths casualties to tho tnemy are not km wn,
but ia believed their killed und wounded will fur
exceed our own.

Later accounts Loin thu reoae of action rep:e
sent that >hs enemy tnJed thuir !• ire* ut two
•Lfloroct points on ilu Pasquotank livt-r m.d
tmirchei them up for th purpose of surrounding
and cutting ofl’ tho troop* wo had stationed at
the Boulb Mills. In this they signally fuiloc’,
and it is said bar- find •* |i v dear for their te
merity. They were met by L* and. Wright's four
conij auius of tbe 3J Georgia aud Captuio Me
Comas’artiiLry company, in all about 500 men,
mi <1 were literally mowed down by our troops.
They made throe assaults on our troops and
prominent offi.-urs aud about fir* hundred of their
troops have (own killed and wouudod. So great
was the slaughter among then, that notwith
standing their overpowering numbers, they did
not attempt further to prevent our small force
tri>m retiring in good order and bringing ofl all
<-*ur killed aud wouudod
Tho killed (20.) and w .unded (31) arrived
boro yesterday afternoon, and (lie latter wore
tjkan uumodiatMly to the IL.-qiitat.
It i* said that so rapid wore the discharge*
from our artillery p ao, that they Brand their
ammunition about to give out much sooner than
what wa* at first anticipated, and in consequence
of riot having a sufficiency fer ail purposes <ur
trooj# lost advantage* of importance, .ns of
• bicti was tbe chauceof chargiug on m almost
fauic stricken sue. With what ammunition they
did bavu though, it appears they aeeompliuhed
wonder*; having kept at bay ei„ht regiments es
the enemy, bettered to ron#iat of at least tire
thousand men, or ten to one. Thi* w** from
11a. in , to 8 o'clock, p u*., or fl’- t hour*.—
He have no disposition to magnify this matter,
and merely repeat it ss we have heard it, believ
ing it emanate* from a source worthy of entire
confidence.
irisssiff our men fought with great bravery
and Jeteiurination, regardless of the enemy’*
vast superioity wf numbers and that so gieat
was the slaughter among our artillery burse* that
most of our piece* had to be drawn cfl tbe field
by the men thm*)vca on the falling back of our
troops.

There is no stirring news from Yorklown

quietly there.
Ihe latest news from Fortress Monroe repre

mad* no movement since Sunday.
The New York Herald holds out rather poor
encouragement to the Yankees for a victory at
Yorklown. McClellan is placed ia front of a
terrible army of rebels well entrenched, and
our sea ‘'monster,'’ the Merriuiac, renders all
help to McClellan from wooden gunboats, out es
tbe question. The Ueral 1 says, while the Mer
