It appears that Capt. Stephen Elliott, cl the Beaufort Artillery, with a detachment of his corps, and accompanied by Capt. Micklcr with a detachment of infantry, repaired to Bear Island, opposite Pinckney Island, Wednesday night, with a view of attacking the Federal picket stationed on the latter. They crossed over to Pinckney at daylight yesterday, and soon encountered the enemy. A fierce engage ment ensued, which resulted in the capture of the entire Federal pick* t, consisting ot tliiity six men and a Lieutenant. Several others were left dead on the field, and. of th ,--e brought away three were wounded. Our loss was eight wounded, two of whom, Sergeant Nix and Corporal Smith, both of the artillery, had been brought to Hardeeviile, amd are supposed to “be in a critical condition Capt. Micklcr received a flesh wound in the leg. The t hree wounded Yankees and six who are sick, were also taken to Hard ;evi"o ; ti c re rndud-.a were taken to McPhersonville. The following official despatch concerning the affair was scat by (ouii ir to the Colonel commanding at Hardeeviile. Scar's Island, Aug. 21st, 8 o’clock A. M.

Camp at Liberty Mill*. i Orange County, Va., Aug. 13th, 1563, j Editor Republican :—As I commenced writing you principally an account of the doings cl the 13th Georgia, I think it best to continue in the fame way, addk-d ether facts that may c iac to my l knowledge ■■l we pass along. I last wrote you,from Richmond, after the battle of the Ist July, and- as you mustixcase me from giving dates, it being difficult for me to keep them, I will tty, in my otfn way, to let you know where wo have been and what, we have dene since my last writing. The day alter I last wrote you, sending a T. t of the killed and wounded in the 13th, v;c started for Richmond, ad that same even ing took the Fredericksburg train and came to Louisa Court-House. JVe jxsscd Beaver Dam staff on the evening belcne the Yankee scouts burnt the depot. One of the scour.<lr- H was taken prisoner and brought to Louisa. Ihiar 1 him interrogated, but be stun and to b long to the knew nothing party, for there could be very little got from him in the way of informa tion. After staying r* Louisa (J< nrt-11-use a few days, we marched or. to Gurdonsville,.and Stopped there several days, and ivc- , ‘hen or dered to Magruder’a Mills, four miles above there, where wo encamped abput a week, a;,d were then ordered back to Gordons villa and thence to Mechanic3butg, on the road between .Louisa Court-Hoarse and C&atloit-.-vhlo. We stopped there some ten days, and then wcut hapk to Magrndei’s Mills, where wc remained until last Friday, when we were ordered to ad vance into the country that was ia possqseion of the enemy. Before proceeding, I wish you to understand when I use the word toe, I mean the whole of General Jackson’s army. On Friday evening wc got about four and a half miles beyond Or ange Court House, on the direct io.ul to Wash ington. Wo crossed the Rapid,am and encamp* ed for the night about 9 o’clock. The Yankee cavalry mado an attempt fo cut off pait of the train. The 13th were r ent out to picket, and succeeded in captutingfourof them. The nest morning live of them were brought ia and sent “On lo Richmond.” On Saturday the army moved on toward Culpeper Court-House. Ou the way we heard the booming of cannon, and fell cure that Jackson had attacked ihe enemy, who had fallen back towards that (dace Uvii. A. P. Hill’s division, which had gone ou in ad vance, had come up with them atfout six miles from the Court-House, and, iu usual, whipped them out, killing and wounding about live hundred, and taking four or live hundred pris oners, including Brigadier General Prince, and thifiy or forty other officers. 1 understood we lost on our side between two hundred and filly and three hundred. I am sorry to say that Gen. Winder was killed in the fight- The fight was severely contested I r some time, and the op posing armies got into close quarters, cur men using the butt, of their :uu k l : , and rocks, at. the Yank--. Our brigade did not gat there in time to take part in the fight, but arrived in the evening, and with the rc.t By on the battle field all night. On Sunday the army stopped a’c.u*. the battle ground, and ou Monday fell back t, Liberty Mills, seven miks above Gordonsvllle, for tit purpose, as I understand, of drawing the enemy out. I think you may look out "for stirring times here shortly, as Jackson is beivg consid erably reinforced, though every thing is kept very close. I understifnd frotti a gi mletaan from Rich mond, that the officeiv taken iu the last fight were ironed, in t.ccoid.meo. v itb the orders of the President, thbugh they deny that there ever was such au order read to them as is at tributed to Get,rial I’ope, Tho Wta 'herTins been veiy warm h r the last tin ii.\j , and I have felt it g* luueU as I ever dhl ia Georgia A Humber ut tho men were sun struck, anti cn tlje way to Orange Court.

After marching some six miles we fell in with the Yankee pick ts, drove them in, killed three and captured (our. None on Our side injured. Here wc were camped ter the night, while our cavalry could scout over the country, to try to find out thd position o*' the enemy. At early dawn we were railed' rtp to prepare for the (fay’s march; all riaiL. we marched off, Gen. E.ulj’s brigade in sdv.iuec, the 13th Georgia in front. Wc. matched all day, without news from the enemy, nor did wc hear of their where abouts until the morning of the 9th, when wo were drawn up in linn of battle across the vast plains of Mitchell’s Station. In a few moments a bomb came whistling over, which we readily understood. ' Some mile and a half eft the Yan kec cavalry could be seen drawn up in line, about a tniie long. No sooner had we discov ered the blue coats than one of our twelve jioundcrs sent eff a round shot to tell them that Jackson was near at hand. No reply was made, and both armies went to work preparing tor that ; r-. : ; t battle which must .evidently soon nmci.ec. The enemy made great {repara •L ns, nrd we remained in our line until three o’clock in the afternoon. Oar brigade was then ordered to move up under the immediate eye of Gen. Jackson to give them bed tie. On our side all was joyful; (he boys were chatting about home and their sweethearts, &c. We pressed on, passing over fences, t'c-ugh corn fields, over ditches and rocks. Boon we saw confusion in the Yankee ranks, for we looked too determined for them. Win n in about, three hundred-yards of their lines en. Eirly advanced a few paces, fired his piece and fell back, which was enough for u", and without orders we “let drive” at them, jvhich caused a grand skedaddle among the blue coals. They fired but ore gun and left as hard as U. P. horses could bear their cowardly riders off. We pressed on over the dead bodies of the Yankee “braves;” the Thirtceulh Vir ginia regiment wa3 ordered to move on the right flank, the Twelfth Gen-gin in the front, Jackson, E.vell.-aud Eirly in ‘ -.- I.nd to cheer us on, to see if Pope was the man ho was said to be Their fron' was soon nude ihtSs rear guard, for their ho tv is were toe bard to hold to see us any longer. We pressed ou for about ore mile, when, passing over a small hill, we soon discovered their batteries. Wdrtreru or dered to bait and lay down. Boon tfieir guns ►opened on us tew drive us tyack, but we were there, and never to leave until an opportunity was given to go forward. Old Stonew.il left ns and darted off in a near wood. If it bad bchn any one else we would have said—coward! —but no; he is only gone to bo heard from soon again. Our batteries were soon brought up and opened on litem. Bomb- after bomb came vdiistling over us, to which our'artillery replied admirably. The cannonading lasted forty-five minutes, while JacT::on con’d see if. be could not play a better gan f>r them. Dur ing the cannonadirg several of our regiment (Isth Georgia) were killed and wounded. Wc lay there as if dead until firing commenced on the left flank by Geu. A. P. ILII's division, un der command of Gen. Jackson, Who tad flanked them and had nearly got in their rear. We were ordered to charge them, which we gladly obeyed, and drove thorn off before us under a heavy shower of rifle balls and under a cross fire of Hill’s command led by our (Jhiel. After they got their artillery away the cannonading ceased, and the 13th G.t. and 13th Va. opened on them with small arms, which was all the go.

Oar attention was called by our General; said he, “Boys, you are not alone, only look ba k,” which wo all did and discover ed a field of grey rebels in our rear advancing at tho double-quick. We-opened lire and in slow time pressed on to close quart* rs. We fired deadly vollies alter voliies iu o them, to which they bravely replied; but in a short timo great confusion was seen in their lines, and we ceased firing and came to the charge, sweeping the ti.M and mowing down the Yankees before u ; as if tin were only bhek birds bejpro tbo sportsman. They hid been* strongly reinforced, and our reinforcements ind just arrived. We followed up their retreat over the dead and dying, and gained a complete vic tory over Pope. OurtirtUlefy followed us up close la the rear,, and r,s the half starved blue coated c vwfards sc.unptped off before u. Gen.

No sooner had this order been given than it way obeyed, and load after load ot grape was sent them which carried many a Yankee to his lorg home.

C., Aug. 11, 18(53. j To Military Commandant*, Provost Marshals, Uni ted Stales Marshals, and Police Officers: You will receive herewith an order of the War Department to prevent the evasion of military duty, and for the suppression of disloyal parties, dated the S;h of August, 1803. This order, to be efficient, is necessarily very comprehensive in its terms, and, its proper execution requires the exercises of sound judgment end discretion by the officers to whom its enforcement is en trusted ; and, to guard you in its execution, the following instructions arc to he observed : First. —The order comprises two class ot per sons, viz : Those who are about leaving Che United Slates to evade military duty, and those who, lor tae same purpose, leave their own State. )-■ aving the United States until th; mili tary draft is perfected is absolutely-prohibited ; bur, it v. .-a not the intention of the order to in terim e with the transit, from State to State, of anv j ers-ms but those who design to evade mil tay duty. Whenever you hive reason to believe that the purpose is to evade military duty, the order will authorial* the detention of any person leaving his own Slate, country, or military district. Second. —Any person detained maybe released on giving bonds to the United States, with suf ficient security, in the sum of SI,OOO, conditional for the performance of mil't try duty, if he should be drafted, or the providing cf a proper substitute. Third —lmmediate report is to be made to this office of :-H persons detained, with the cause of their detention. Fourth.-— You will exercise the powers cf ar rest and detention with caution and forbear ance, so ns to avoid giving annoyance or trouble to any persons cxcep'ing thftse who are seek ing to evade the pc f. n vice of their duty to their country.

The Baltimore correspondent of the New York Herald, under date of August 1. writes as follows: The rumors of recent arrivals of Vessel ports lathe Sou hern States have been conll ed by intelligence and itch has betu received this city. Between the middle of Miy and the 25th of July, nine a.earners and three sail ves sels arc known to have arrived r.t Southern ports. Aii ot these vessels brought full cargoes of aim.”, ammunition, military and metrical, st. res, drugs, cloth for military uniforms, can non an I other articles most needed at the South. Ia one vessel there was an immense quansfty of sulphur or brimstone in rolls,— There is an abundance of nitre or saltpetre in the Southern States ; but sulphur is scarce.— Hence this importation of sulphur in order to furnish material for their powder mills,of which they have thirteen iu active and successful ope ration. Among the articles brought by these steamers was forty eight pieces of artillery.— They are described aa splendid guns, in com plete order, and made to order iu the latest and most approved style*. A bearer Of despatches fropi the Confederate agents iu Europe, to the Confederate govern ment came over in the last steamer. Tiii3 gen tleman left London on tiia 11th of Juiy, and had been ir. Paris on the 11th, where he receiv ed despatches from Mr. Slidell. A few days previous Mr. Slidell had had a private interview with the Emperor, at which the Minister of War and the Minister of Marine were pscsc-ut. The interview lasted several hours. It was evident that Napoleon understood clearly the general lualuics ot the wav Bat he desired specific information as to the topographical position of Richmond, its capabilities for de fence, the geographical features of the peninsu la, the course and depth of the Chicbabominy >( the nature and extent of the White Oak Swamp,’ ti.o character of the roads in Virginia, the position arid capabilities of the Southern har bors, the avaiiabii’ty of the James River ns a navigable stream, Ate. By means of maps drawn on a very large scale, and his own ex planations, Mr. Slidell succeeded in satisfying the Emperor on ail these points. There were other subjects discussed, bearing oil the ability of the Confederate States to acquire and main tain a separate nationality.. Mr. Slidell says that the results of the interview were in the highest degree satisfactory. There is another point on which the French news by this arrival is positive and explicit.— It relates to the Emperor's designs in Mexico. So far from having Recn abandoned,’ those designs are being prosecuted with greater vigor than evor, and ca a scale of magnitude that will insure succote. The naval expedi tion, which will include a large fleet of iron chad vessels, with powerful armaments, will be so managed as to operate either ogaltist Mexico or the United States, ns events &ay decide. Other facts, learned by this arrival, imply that the intervention ot Napoleon will take the form ol a coup d'etat , aad that it will startle the world like a clap of thunder. The theory thu- shadowed forth is, that after Na poleon has massed his troops at'Vera Cum, and has assembled bis fleet of iron mailed steamers in that harbor, he will then issue a manifesto, acknowledging tho independence of the South, on the ground that they have shown their ability to maintain their inde pendence, and stating that, in ordea to bring the war to an immediate termination, lie has determined to give to the South such aid as will render hopeless ary further prolongation of the strife on the p#t of the North. That he will then at. once transport his army to Mo bile ard bring his flee; into the southern waters. That it tb’o war continues, ho will continue to' reinforce the Sou’k b 'thwitji land and naval forces, until a peace t? conquered, -n the basis of a separation tuj B •u’.lvrn from the .Northern States. • [L'orrespoudcace Mol ilo Advertiser and ih giuo,-,] Letter from Tupelo..

General : Being joined by Captains Earle and Lewis, with their respective commands, we marched to the railroad, expecting to find a train 6f cars. Upon arrival we found the train had unloaded two hundred and fifty Federal?, who were to inarch to Decatur. We pursued them by a circuitous route and came upon the head of their column scon after daylight. Wait ing nutil the whole body had passed, we charg ed alter them in the r ad, the advance being led by Lieut. Whistenant. We pursued them to within three miles of Decatur, capturing 133 meu and one Lieutenant. Oi the killed and wounded of the enemy, I can give no account, since they were left scattered extensively on the road and in the adjacent corn fields. We captured 56 guns, which were divided equally among the command. Wc suffered a Loss ofoue killed and throe wounded, all of Cap; Baric's compart'-', besides three horses. \\ e went in again yesterday evening near Hie i railroad after forage, and had a skirmish with a scouting party, with no other iesalt than run rung them to their nests.

Captain Roddy represents the enemy as forti fied at five di tie rent places between TuscituMa and Decatur on the railroad, vis : Town Creek Courthmd, Malku’s Creek, Fox’s Creek and Trinity. Their movements all tend eastward Capt. Roddy advises the* sending of additional force ia the vicinity of Decatur, to keep the vandals away from the abundant crop now growing near there*, and which they are destroy ing on ail occasions when they can get to it. The fortifications thrown ’up ly the enemy are only calculated to withstand cavalry, and should a force of light artillery be brought to bear upon them, they would doubtless change their case.

At and yet it seems that Gen. Pope seat forward less than one-quarter of the tofeos under his immediate command and ready to his hand to give them battle. The enemy, accord ing to an authorized telegram from .Washing ton, had in the battle a force of 23,000 men, while “our own, exclusive of cavalry apd artil lery, did not. exceed 7,000.” Seven, or eight, or ten thousand mm, aero .’.us ib ? etched against an enemy numbyirs: 39,000, • tr rg’y -posted aid hidden behind v. . ids, an ' v:c!i sup ported by artillery !

Il i tbe rebel * could quic’-'v throw 30 000 men froth Gordonsv ilo to the R.i.idan, and from tin nee forward to Cedar Mountain, while we were forewarned boilvof ih* ir purpose and move ment, it was Burely*ppe;b;e for Pope to tbravv forward to meet them aUc.A with a r. .:f olthr twice twiiitr tbcus.ii.l, utiJ.rhls com mand. which has been reprr.'ntcc?. to i c.r. that tho diffari-ct colunm c--'.;'U.b- •• Uy "u- ' ccotrated :ii the sburtest n tice.

As already said, we L-v. had this kind ,f strategy too often already. We thought that -under the new mililsnr myiqjc we had got quite through with it—that we were to Mar c; m> more surprises; no battles voluntarily bigun by us in which the rebels had two to our one ; and that no more apologies were to be needed. The country has anticipated so much from Gen. Pope that its disappointment will be propor tionate to previous expectations. Success in the field Is toe soldier’s only title to public ap plause and confidence. Yankee Cowawdice and B.u.baeity —A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, relating the incidents of the battle of Baton Rouge, says : "As we drove the Yankees into the town, they sought tbe protection of tbe bouses, from the windows of whie’a they discharged murder ous volleys opon our troops. In one Route where they bad lodged themselves, they forced a man, holding an infant in his arms, to ' . ...X jup and down a porch, while they tired from ; behind him.” He.does not add that the house was stormed and every Yankee found there bayoneted with out mercy, but this should certainly have teen their doc in, at acy cost* Bf.ig.
