' 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 S2O per barrel This demand comes from spec, uhtlors In breadstuff*, and wu learn that every baml that could be had was bought up and ’■placed la depot for Immediate shipment. We 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 In n ue ease* out ot ten it Indtets a greater evil than that which it Is designed to remedy; but when a people, and espeei Hy an army to which the country looks for Us deteusc, are likely to be deprived of bread by capitalist* who enter and mortopotlxa the market, it is the duty of government to interpose and stand between the greedy corns>r*wts u t 'their v ctiais.

We and * not say that thi t disastrous prospect of -ffdrs really txi'ts, but, from all we learn< we are strongly Inclined to suspect it; and, in any event, the subject Is worthy of the imme diate attention ot those to whose hands are committed the interests of the army and of our chi* ns.

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.

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 FoHy-Seveeitli Georgia in the James’ Island A Hair.

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.

MCt X.RLi.vN, I June 12, P. M. | 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 p 'Wer lo promote the cultivation ol cotton in India and the colonies. j 1 he Londou Times, in an rtfftorial upon the debate relative to the distress in Lancashire, Sais: * .

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.
