' C*m;itt or v*Pe avky —We regret to
leart>, through a pr.vate despatch received in
this city by a citiz -n that Capt. Isaac Avery, the
gallant and advent urous commander of' tbe
Geo.gia Dragoons, who bas done so much im
portant setvice as a sdoul for Beauregard's
army, was captured by tbe enemy on the 3d in
stant. The correspondent expresses the belief
that he will be exchanged at an early day.
Reinforcements for Jackson. —A despatch
received here from Richmond states that Gen
eral Lawton has been ordered, with his brigade,
to j iii> General Jackson on the Shenandoah
forthwith. He was to h *ve leti Richmond
Wednesday, a-id by 'his time he is, doubtless, in
eight of the enemy. The brigvde is GOOO
strong, all Georgians, and as fine troops as are
to be fonnd in the Confederacy. Tne usual
complement ot artillery has, doubtless, been
a.dcd. We shall hear from these men before
many days.
A Query lbe losses of the Forty-seventh
Georgia Regiment at James Island, in a contest
with a force three or four times their number,
and approached within thirty yards before they
were aware oi their presence, suggests the en
quirv, why a whole regiment was marched
■through a jungle against, an enemy whose posi
tion had not been reconnoitred ? Why were
scouts not thrown forward iu advance of the
column in order to escenaiu the location and
number ol the enemy and then report t the
m 1 1 body before an attack. These are impor
tant question*, and should be answered.
Our Coast Defenders —ln alluding, some
days ago, to tbe shelling of Dr. Troup’s resi
dence, near Brunswick, we took occasion to
enquire what our coast guards were about, as
the enemy had beeu marauding along the bor
der for months, and we had beard nothing oi
serious opposition to his villainy. Perhaps we
did injustice by onr inference that nothiug was
doing, as military men are wise not to develop
tbeir plans, and while all is silent much may be
going on that the woild is net a a are 01. It we
■did we regret it, lor we would far prefer to
render undue praise to the soldier than pluck
one, even the least significant, laurel from his
brow
Ihe country-, though, looks for something
practical in limes like these. Much vigilance
Is a good thing, but acts whip the enemy aud
end the war.
Not So.— A ridiculous story has gained cur
rency in the up-c.iuotry—and wet have received
several leUe-rn of enquiry about It—to the effect
that the government has resolved on wiih
draviug the troops from Savannah, aud aban
doning the place to the enetny. There is in t
a particle ot truth in the report. Wo have
abundant troops here now to repel any prob
able attack of the enemy, with an equal num
ber, within a few hours’ cull. We have no
reason to believe that the military authorities
contemplate an evacuation ot Savannah, anti,
w're that folly, committed, Georgians enough
would be found to defend it outside of the
army.
From all appearances, the enemy have cvac
tii cd our cesasl, as a prisoner eapiured ou j
Ja nes.’ Island, near Charleston, some days ago,
tuned out to be a privaie In the Seventh Con- ■
ne Aleut R' gimeut, by whom, It is understood, 1
For. I’ulnski was garrisoned.
Up Country Hotels.—Wu do not e onceive’
that Lite Press can do a man a greater service
than to inform him, where, when retreating be
ore the Yankees in the mountains orou the
seab’ard, or wearied by days and nights < f
custy travel, he can find a home among stran
gers, and a clean aud hospitable pillow upon
which to rest his weary head.
The Marietta Hotel, situated In the town
of that name, and among the health giving lulls
and pure waters of the piedmont region ot
Georgia, Is emphatically a place of tbe eharae
ter we have described The hotel building is
one of the most elegant and commodious in
the Slate, and would do credit to any city in
the South. Its present management is, in nil
respects, most efficient, as is abundantly testi
fied by the large patronage that Jlows In an un
ceasing stream to its hospitable roof. If any
thing is wanting to complete the comfort of its
guests, lt Is only because these troublous
times and an exhausted country cannot afford
.it.
The Trout House, In the city of Atlanta, Is
another establishment lor the accommodation
of the public, where the traveller never fails to
receive n true Geor la welcome aud to be cared
lor in all that concerns his bodily comfort and
pleasure, It Is the licet furnished hotel in the
State, so fa r as onr observation has extended,
n*d the long experience of the proprietor, Mr.
Mcti eh y. at tint Mills House, Charleston, nf
fords a guarantees that none will be neglected
who commit themselves to hi s care.
Hotels, like newspapers, feel keeply the
hardships ol war, and the man who keeps a
good one in times 1 ko these, deserves to he
gazetted for hi* energy, perseverance and skill.
Tuk Wheat Chop.—Owing to various disas
ters, and among them the reeent heavy and
continued rains, the harvest. It is said, reveals a
remarkably shon crop of wheat. The extent
of the falling off we have not heard, but it is
sufficient to produce a decided Impression . n
the tl >nr market, and stimulate a spirit of spec
illation that Is ominous of much distress, If not
absolute want, among the poorer classes.
Owing to the heavy demand from the interior,
we hear that Huur went up in this city yesterday

do not stale it as a fact, hut we have reason to
believe that the stock on hand has been pretty
well exhausted by these transactions in a single
day. and if so, a question arises which the au
thorities, civil or military, would do well to
take lute serious consideration. We are op
posed, as a general rule, to interference with
ihertgular operations of trade, luiuvngthai

when a people, and espeei Hy an army to which

TH£ 47TH GEORGIA ENGAGE FOUR TIMES
THEIR HUMBER FOR FOUR HOURS*
CAFT. WILLIAM* MOkTALL Y WQU 'FEO.
[From tuc Charleston Courier.]
A heavy cannonading and continued musket
ry tiring on James’ I<laud commenced Tues
day forenoon, and continued in I lie alieruoon to
aooui eight o’clock, gave, evidence that, an en
gagement between onr forces and those of the
enemy, was in pri ere ss. Ibe smoke aud li.sites
of the enemy’s inns in in tleir gunboats, and
tbe explosion oi (loir sin lls could be plainly
seen irom tbe lower ] art t,l the eity.
Information leached tbe city t hat a portion of
our troops had left camp and attacked the
enei, y, who also advancao to meet us. A sham
fight ensued, and the ettn-y weie loreed back
with considerable loss.
W e learn ibnt the casualties cu our side wee
principally in a Georgia regiment, which one we
could not learn.
Our forces engaged were a Genre la regiment,
Preslou’s Licit' artillery, Cot Lamar’s com
mand, the Washington Artillery, (Louisiana
Battalion,) and others. 'lhe he tiling, wt; are
informed, was hard while it lasted. Gen. W. D.
Smith was in command. Our infantry forces
marched out about 11 A. M. The artillery on
our side became engaged about oue (/clock.
These were the only particulars we could
gather up to a late be ur last night.
Col. Lamar, commanding the artillery at
Sccessionvllie, also kept up a constant lire on
the enemy's boats aud on bis land camp. On
Monday last a shot from oue ol Col. Lamar’s
guns struck the mast of a Yankee propel'er
and took it out of her, when another steamer
came un and lowed the disabled boat away.
ihe ! incolu troops have landed in force pn
James’ Isl end side of the Btono River just west
and above Battety Island, in number about
sixteen reginieuts, according to the evidence of
another prisoner taken Monday night, who
also said that a lew more regiments were ex
pected.
They are no doubt entrenching themselves,
and expect to make their position the base of
their operations agaiust the ti y. \
Four large trauspons were off Stono Bar and
eight propellers oil' ibis port, Tuesday.
Later —A gentleman who lot the neighbor
hood oi Stotio river about nine o’clock Tuesday
logit', gves ui the following account: A severe
liitht between the enemy and a small portion of
our forces, under the command of Gen. VV. D.
Suit b, took place Tuesday a f ternoon. Ade
taebnient of our forces were sent out as skirm
ishers, with orders to scour the woods in front
ot Stono river, behind which Several ot 'the
enemy’sguuboats were lying
The light wing of our force wa deployed
under command of (Jed. II igood. This force
lis t with a body of the enemy, who, alter a
tborl light, rei reared to their gunboats.
The left wing advanced under command of
C-d William*, with the Forty-seventh Georgia
R gimeht Col. Williams’ force with great
d.tliculiy made their way through a thick lorcst
oi woods, and were me t by au overwhelming
force of the enemy, estimated at nearly lour
times their number.
The enemy were also protected by a very
strong abaliis. The gallant Forty-seventh,
however, charged the enemy several limes with
great impetuosity, and withdrew only when
approaching di.rkuess and tbe continued rein
forcernents ot the euemy compelled them to
retire. The gunboats during the tight also
kept up a continual .shelling of Llie woods be
yond the forces engaged, designed to prevent
tlie arrival ot reinforcements.
The fight lated about lour hours. The casual
ties were thirty or forty o! our meu woun ed
by the fire Irom the enemy’s infantry. Capt.
Williams, of the Forty-seventh Georgia Regi
ment, wee regret to learn, was uiorlally wound
ed w hile gallantly leading a charge ou the ene
my’s bieu t woi k.
Great credit is due Col. Williams and bis
regiment lor tbeir bravery and their gallant
bearing during the action.
Our informant, who saw C ilonel Williams
after the action, heard him say that a large
nit über o' the enemy were killed aud wounded
in ihe’ engagement
The place where the fight, took place is about
three miles from llie lines ol our entrench
ments.
Heavy firing was kept up to a late hour last
night. It Is supposed the enemy were engaged
in shelling the woods while lauding
nieuts.

The Forty eventh Georgia, reduced by sick
ness to about three hundred effective men, went
into this action with Iheir brave and intrepid
leader, Col. Williams, against a force of the
enemy ot at least two thousand, euirencbed
anti posted behind formidable breastworks.
Owing to the ntttuic of the ground, it being a
dense wood, our men suddenly came upon the
enemy’s entrenchments, at a distance of but
thirty- five yards. Col. Williams, however,
wishing to dislodge the foe, determined to make
an a.-sauk aud ordered a charge.
The mi n rushed forward and made a vigor
ous attack upon the breastworks. The enemy
opened upon them a terrific cross tire, ot in
fantry, artillery and cavalry, and shells thrown
from the gunboats. The regiment fell back a
moment, and again moved forward to another
assault. The fighlin ton both sides was now
desperate. Our men were under a continuous
and deadly tire, aud having expended their last
round of ammunition, the order retreat was
given. They withdrew, leaving the lead -and a
nutnher ot the more seriously wounded in the
hands ot the enemy.
Our reinforc -tn-nts were not brought into ac
tion, and the 47th sustained alone for several
hours the lire ot the heavy t ree in front ot
them. In ibis engagement Capt. Williams fell
pierced by four Minnie balls, while gailautly
encouraging ids men to the second assault.
Private J. ft. Cone was also killed almost at the
saute time, and while in close proximity to
Capßtin Williams
We have not yet learned the names of the rest
of the killed, wounded and missing. The
wound* are mostly all trout Minnie balls, gome
three or four are from pieces ot trees thrown
down by shells, but not one, so far as we could
learn, by auy of the shells themselves.

The Macon TJetjraph says :
A friend just from Atlanta tells ns he saw and
conversed with some of the 500 Lincoln pris
oners of war, whom Gen. Mill-hell refused to
accept. It seems that one boat load, (about
1,500,) were actually received by the Yuukee
commander at Bellefonte, iu the absence oi
Gen. Milcbell, but when the latter returned and
found them, he was much incensed Mean
while, the eleamboi t on her second trip, re
lumed to Belletouie with the remainder, when
Milcbell positively refused to allow them to
laud. In vain itie prisoners, tired, and skk,
and almost naked, plead with Mitchell tor'per
mission to pass his lines and tied their way
home as best they could. The Yankee Gen
eral was inexorable —he had uo provisions or
transportation to spare—they had taken their
parole.— could not fight—were therefore ot uo
u*e to him and they should go buck to the reb
els. Finding they could get no mercy at the
hands of their fellow “Uuion patriot,” they
gave It up—the boat was headed abouty and
with tears of mingled mge and sorrow, they
turned back to seek again an asylum in ehe
“rebel lines.’’ It so happened that this unfor
tunate 500 were eompo-ed mainly of prisoners
who had been sent from Vacon. They were all
shipped back again to Allauta, but so weary
worn by travel and exposure, and more particu
larly by tbe change ol water and diet, that sev
eral of them died on the way, and most ot the
living are a ghastly looking set. Our informant
says the change in tbeir appearance since thev
left Mticun is very great. They were exceeding
ly enraged at the course of the functionaries ol
their own government, and some of ihem had
professed a wllliugness to take their revenge
by enlisting in the confederate service, could
they be allowed to do so.
This is an illustration of the valne the North
set upon the lives aud health ol their soldiery
Their ranks being filled up almost entirely of
poor laboring men, a large part of win.ut are
loreiguers, the lordly Liucolnites of the North
care no more lor them tbau their dogs—iu lacl
not so much; and since thev caiinot be em
ploy ed longer ui murdering the Southern rebels,
are quite willing to abandon them to the lender
i mercies of their enemies.

We farthrr take occasion to say, that any of

Twoehivsof the Wile of Richmond have
been fought, on bo’h ol which our troops cave
b.-en victorious. The loss on both, sides was
heavy. The battle was opened by the t n my
making an attack on General Grsejy s Division,
encamp" (I near S'Ven Pinos, on the turnpike
leading over Bottom B idge, and within seven
miles ot Richmond.
Tne at tack was made about 1 o’clock on Sat
urday afiernooti, t>y General Hill’s division,
composed oi live Rebel brigades, the troops
rit-itig lor the most part from Virginia, Son h
Carolina arid Georgia. The iig it here was disas
trous. General Casey’s troops were forced to
retire before superior numbers, leaving ail their
cainp < quipege aud two batteries. Col. Btiley,
in endeavoring to save his batle'ies, was k'lb-il
Nome of tbt troops in ibis and vi 'on from Ntsw
York aud Pennsylvania Oeb&ved rt b'dfy.
M.hiv ol the officers were killed and wounded
iu endeavo'i' g to rally their men.
General Hem zduian, on asceriaining the re
sult, ordered forward a portion ol the divisions
ot Generals Kearney aud Hooker to regain the
and y. General Kearney’s men, ou being orou >ht
into action, charged with the huyonei, driving
the. rebels before them like sheep, and regaining
all the lost ground —about half a mile—when,
n ght coming on, operations were brought to a
close.
Gen. Sumnei’s two divisions— Sedgwick s
and Richardson’s crossed the Chickaboiniry
about 3 o’clock on Saturday ailereiooii, taking a
position on Gen. Heiuiz lraan’s rigtu. Heie
ihey encountered L ugstreei’s. and
Unger's divisions, the flower of the rebel army.
The fighting was desperate, every loot of ground
being hotly contested; but our soldiers were
too much ior them.
The enemy would stand manfully at a dis
tance of sixty yards and receive tbe fire of our
troop*, but they were afraid of the bayonet;
and to every instance that our Tnen charged,
they were victorious.
These two divisions did nobly, driving the
rebel* ut every point until dark. Ihe enemy’s
loss here was very heavy, many ot i hem being
killed bv file bayonet.
Gen. Pettigrew, of South Carolina, was taken
prisoner, aud we had about SCO other prisoners.
The lie verse Before Bldimcd.
[From the New Yo k Tribune, ( ' fl .ito ial,) June 21 ]
The new- tr"in the army tie ore KielipioeiU.
which we putdi-h ibi- morning, th- ugh not
disast.ous, is not cheerful. To be surpri-ed
again by a superior lone, i! not an evid- nte of
a want otcare lul gei eral.hip on cur side, is, at
h ast, a proof that tbe enemy is ever vigilant,
and ut ver perm t- an opportunity to escape
when he may strike an effectual blow. To a
wary General, a dark night or u lime of a violent
storm is the mi ment when he would be moat
likely to a tack au infer! r force, cut off by a
running stream and a swamp irom immediate
assisianee. It was sncti a moment teat was
chosen for the attack on Butuid iy, on a portion
of Gen. McClellan’s army on the Cbickahotiituy.
The mistake seems le have been co/miliUeU
on our side—by no means lur the fir.-t Uiue—e>f
so placing our troops as to invite such an at
tack. That succor finally arrived, brought "for
ward with great difficulty; that the enemy
were at length repulsed at the .point ol the
beyonet ; that they renewed the attack the
next dapewilhoni success ; and that in all these
operations their loss probably was ve ry great,
do not alter the fact that we were at first beat
en, with the loss of baggage and artillery t that
the ground was sirew wilt! o.nr dead and wound
ed, that only by great exertion and „he most
determined bravery, we were saved from a
sighal defeat; that oue and visit p was over
whelmed by superior numbers, end is convict
ed before the country, bytiie Commanding
General, o> want of bravery.
* * * We bo, e ti at there are extenuating
circumstances, and that the event will "Show
either that the surprise was one which could
not be fore-eon and guarded against, or that
Gen. Casey’s division iuught as well aSi-nn-H
could in their position ; we, nevertheless, are
compelled to acknowledge a reverse, with all
its de-rnoralizit g t ff.tcts ou one and encourtge
nunt on the other Why this happened time
will show.
Brigadier General Casey is a regular army
officer, and had under Lis command three
brigadi s. They were originally composed of a
br'gade under Colonel Davis, consisting of lho
104th Pennsylvania, 11th Maine, 52J Pennsyl
vania, 51st New York, and C and. B-. rd ids Sharp
shooters; a second under C>. Tidball, ot the
59 It New York; the S5 h Pennsylvania, and the
93 ! Pennsylvania; and a ih'rd, under C 1. Allen
ot the 9th United Stales Infantry, the With N'-w
York, anti 77th New York, the S9ih New York,
the 64 h New York, and the 4 h Culled Stales
In untry. Whether this was still the constitu
tion of the Division at the lime of its defeat,
we, of course, do not kuow, but presume it
has not been essentially changed. We trust
that and tails yet to come rnay exiennate the dis
grace that seems to have fallen upon it.
The New York-Times, on the contrary,
speaks of the battle as a victory ; aud McClel
lan, ir. his despatch, modestly says ol the fight
on Sunday : “The eutmy was everywhere re
pulsed.”
'llte Ifi tll*h I’arll. incut ou the Cotton
Famine.
In the House of Commons on the 9th May,
Mr. Algernon Egerton drew attention to the
prevailing distress in Lancashire, owing to the
cotton crisis. He wished to have the opinion
of the President ot the Poor Law Board ou {he
subject, and also asked the Secretaiy of States
for India whether reductions in the indit tariff
had been decided upon, and when they would
come in'o operation.
* Sir C. Wood said that as yet he had received
no iurtber information irons India than had ap
peared in the papers. He had, however, no
doubt ot the truth of the report that the finan
ces ot ludia would admit of a considerable re
duction it* the duties upon imports.
Mr. Villiers said that the Government were
painfully alive to the necessities of the case,
and he had telt it his ditty to_ warn his collea
gues that it the war in the United States was
pjplonged, a great amount ot _ distress in the
manufacturing districts might be expected. He
also i-stted a circular Ip the Boards ot
Guardians, urging them to take measures to be
provided tor such an emergency. The answers
which be received were most confident; aud
be was satisfied, from the tone ot the general
tncjorlty of them, that they felt themselves
prepared to me. t any emergency by the ordi
nary processes. lie did not wish lo mislead,
or, by undersiandtng ibe amount of distress, to
encourage fallacious hopes for the tuturc ; hut
during the last weeks ol April the distress had
decreased, but It might be owing to accidental
and special causes. In conclusion, he pointed
out the necessity of a firm and judicious, hut
liberal aud humane administration o'f the Poor
Ltw, and assured the House that the Poor Law
B ard would do ail iu tie power lo give advice
and assistance to the local authorities to meet
the distress, which he was atraid weyt.d con
tinue and become severe.
.Mr. Bright thought that Government assis
tance won and Become ueeessary fie did not
think the Boards ol Guardians could do all that
was required, lie urged ifi o formation o local
cotmnuiues to collect subscriptions irom the
c a-ses who could afford to assist their poo-er
neighbor* who were now situtxiing with dtffi
cu lies No doubt there was less cotton coal
ing f. om India, which was owing to the fear of
the War with America, and he wished to warn
the not.le Lord at the head ot the government,
lh.it uotbtng was more pn judicial lo the trade
ot Lancashire than hasty statements with re
spe-.-t to ibis war and Hie blockade. A state
ment of the noble Lord, the Foreign Secretary,
when he expressed a houe that iu a lew months
tire Northern States wouUl afiow the indepen
dence ol the South, had tor the time parai z-d
business in Lancashire by the sudden reduction
it caused iu tie price of y arn. The Foreign St c
tetary was quite ignorant t the case if lie sup
pcsi and the N.-rih would have consented to such
course. The trade was greatly unsettled by
the reports spread abroa t o* ihe blockade be
ing raised, for the prices wgre so Ugh and so
sensitive that a -udden change was rum to a
person eegaged in I <rge transactions. It was.
therefore, highly culpable, add a breach often
traiity in the Foreign erotary, to indulge in
the remarks he had made.
Mr. B.zley said he had pjysonally witcersed
the lamentable sufferings* of the working
classes, under distresses brought upon them by
uotautof tbeir owd, and ‘Kt* cons tan cy ar.d
heroism with which they hid borne them. He
earnestly urged the Govemhitn. lo do all in its

THE BRITISH CONSUL AND I'UKNCeI COMMANDER
I-KOTEST AGAINST A ONE SIDED OPENING
OF TUE POUT.
The following la e intelligence concerning
ff drs at Norfo k is copied Irom the Petersburg
Frprtxs oi the oth :
The port has been opened, and tfie people
are now receiving supplies from Baltimore and
other cities of the Norm. Wool’s determina
tion to starve the people of that city, unless
they look the oath ot allegiance to the Govern
ment of Abe Lincoln, it seems aid not suit the
Washington dynasty Tiny thought B unelt’s
suggestion, “that the old flag should carry its
benefits and blessings wherever established,” a
good one—that the people should be lured into
the old Union by clement measures, and not
by starvation —and,, therefore, they have an
nulled Wool’s policy and removed Noriolk from
llie depiartment of the cruel old Trejau. die
city has been p’aeed whbfn the military juris
diction of Gen. John A D x, who is instruct
ed to iet provisions come freely from all the
Yankee cities. This, we hear, was attempted
clandestinely, but the British Consul at Norfolk
went down to the whan and protested against
the raising of the hatches ot the first vessel
which arrived. Her Mj -sty’s Consul gave as
his reasons tor this protesif that the port of
Norfolk had been declared in a state ot block
ade by Mr. Lincoln, aui) uo proclamation from
that quarter declaring il opened had come to
his knowledge. It is slated that another Yan
kee vessel, 1 eden with provisions, was overhaul
ed at Sewell's Point by a French frigate, aud
the commander sent Lincoln U message, sla lug
that if the Federal Government could not en
force the blockade France would help him. The
meaning of this was, mat if Nurioik was to be
opened to Yankee-trade it must aLo be opened
to all in utra s the world over. IL-uce the re
vocation of Wool’s authority over Noriolk, and
the appo nlment of fix, as his successor. A
proclamation, we presume, has alieidy bi-eu is
sued, declaring the porte'ot Norfolk aud P ils
tnouth open, akmg with those of Beaufort,
and New Orleans We are glad that
tiiis real Yankee trick ol Lincoln has been foil
ed by tbe watchfulness o! thu British aud French
governments.
