During <tha entile afternoon of Tuesday, the
incessant and heavy agnnouadiDir from the dirae
t ion of .lames’ Island plainly intimated that sharp
work was going on somewhere in that neighbor
hood. la the evening we aacertained the cause
of the tiring Our heavy gun uml mortar batte
ries were shelling the entrenched positions non
occupied by tha Yankee force which has landed
upon .lame**’ Island. A vigorous lire was* kept
upon .Monday against the gunboats in the Ktono
river, with marked effoci The gunboats were
forced back, and the uiaei and out of the propel]*
era was shot away, disabling her in such a man
ner as to rsii'ler V nooesitry for another steamer
to tow bar off.
The enem y’ lorcea on dames'lsland are ©n
oataped chiefly on Legate's and GrlmLaHV plan,
tationa, and it is saul that they partially occupy
Hirers’ plantation. These places are upon the
Htono river, west of, and just abort Battery is
land. According to the statement of a prisoner
taken on Monday, the strength of the marauders
•t this time is sixteen regiments, but a few more
regiments were daily expected to arrive. This
force is now industriously at work entrenching
its positions, probably with the view of making
ibeni, sooner or laler, a base of operations against.
the eity.
But it Is searcely likely that., at a point so clo©
to Charleston, the Yankees will be allowed to
arrange matters precisely according to their own
“notions.” There is every disposition on the
part of our gallant boys, who bold our linen in
that quarter, at once to clear the corner of the
Island now held by the invader, and yesterday
afternoon the work was begun.
At half-past three o'olook a Confederate foree,
oonsistlng of the 47th Georgia Regiment, Col.
Williams, Jiagood's Regiment, S. C. V., the Lou
isiana Battalion of Infantry, and a section of
PrMton's Light Battery, attacked the enemy on
GrimbaH’n plantation, at a point about a mile
and a half beyond the I'reibyierian Church.—
The advance of our troops ha*l to be made for
the dietanoe of about a mile over aswampy traot
of ground, in traversing which they wero neces
sarily placed at a disadvantage by being consid
erably scattered. On emerging from the swamp,
our men encountered the Yankees, who were
rapidly driven back for a distance of about three
hundred yards, and to within one hundred and
fifty yards of the river. Hore the further retreat
of the enemy was covered by a sharp tire from
his batteries, and also float a gunboat, which,
until then unseen, had been lyiag in the stream.
At this juucUtre, Col. Williams ordered two
companies of the 46th Georgia (Captain Wil
liams’ and Cones'), which were in the advance,
to charge the enemy’s battery, which they did in
gallant style, notwithstanding their numerical
weakness. Our boys bad to pass through a held
thickly strewn with lelied trees, bebiuil whfi-h the
Yankees sheltered thuiu*eive while delivering
their fin. For a lime the light was quite severe.
The two companies tliai charge*] were 44 Wiro
Grass” men, well known to be among the best
marksmen in the .South, and their volleys were
terribly effective. But the concentrated tire of
the enemy’s batteries, gunbout and musketry was
so murderous that our little handful ol men, un_
supported, were compelled to retire, after having
suffered a heavy loss.
We have not aa yet obtained a full iist of the
casualties in the tight. Capt. William**, ol the
47th Georgia, was killed, and Gapt. ( ones Hight
Ily wounded. It is uleo said that the Orderly
Sergeant ol Captain William’s company was
killed. Our total loss hud not been definitely
ascertained at the time thet our mformunt left
the Island, but it is supposed that il will not
exceed fifty-killed, eounded end missing. -
Theae casualties occurred chiefly in the 47th
Georgia Regimeut In Colonel Hagoud’s Regi
ment there was but one man wounded. The
enemy's loss is believed to be much heavier than
ours.
Later.—Just os we go te presn wo have re
ceived some further and authentic details from
the scene of acti(%. which confflot somewhat
with the statement given above. l( HppeuM that,
the light was for tho possession of a wood some
distance in advance of the enemy's lines, and
which the Yankees had marched out to occupy.
Three times we drove the enemy back, and
finally succeeded in holding the wood. Our loss
in killed, wounded and missing, wa? just sixty
five. The enemy’s force consisted of one regi
ment of Infantry, two batterres of artillery, und
a squadron of cavalry. Our own force, which
was scattered over a defensive lint* of some ex
tent, was four regiments of infantry, Reid’s but
tery, a section of Preston's battery, and another
light battery. Among the troops engaged wns
Colquitt's splendid 4flth Georgia Regiment. Gen.
Pemberton is on James Island.
The ex|>edition was under command es Gen.
Smith. Our troops are iu excellent spirits and
hope soon to get another chance to attack the
enemy.

sides four large transports just outside the Bar of
th* Stoao river.

On yesterday, in annotmuuig the foei that
the enemy nail retired Irani before Ciiauminogn
v e expressed “M -v to his future design*

From the b>-t authority, welt vu tneeu
eay are encamped aoroe eighteen uule- below
Chattunoucn, on the opposite side oft he river,
the force that at lacked out city *>n ."sturdily
and Ftinday isst hv:u. fallen back that far. i
That force is uow in sawing iuiuber, j
and appear to be working as though they were |
making flat boats. With them is u gunboat,
some two and a half miles below the*r present
encampment. It is n flat boat, with stationary
power put on for propelling it, and h:i three
piece* of cannon on lioard. The object of this
craft, doubtless, being to low flat* under cover
of W* guna, in eroding cite river with troop*.
.Such is the posit ten now of the enemy, and
auch are hi* preparation* (or another advance
upon Chattanooga.
We are also advised that Get Kirby Smith
is in command, in person, of onr forces ur
Chattanooga, and tht.i great confidence is re.
posed in him, had hi* ability, with his force.*,
to defend aucresMully ihat :ly. The citizens,
a* well as the military tlieie. are determined
not to surrender the city, but to hold on to it,
let the enemy shell it on much as they please—
a patriotic and gallant determination which,
we trust, will reeuli in defeat of the enemy s
de^igua.
