came so annoying that two companies of the 2d infantry were ordered out as skir mishers to occupy them. The remainder of the 2d, conducted by Capt. Lee, engi neers. proceeded on tin’s course. Per ceiving that the enemy were extending to their left, I ordered (den. Shields to cross the ravine on our right, and keep up the left bank on the part previously rcconnoi tred by Capt. Lee. In the further pro gress of this portion of Col. lliley’s hri gade, he was obliged to turn his whole column to the left to oppose the enemy’s direct movement down the spur. Capt. Lee continued his course, supported by incut. Benjamin’s company, 4lb artillery. Go coming out in the plain, west of the Cerro G udo, and in full view of the Ja lapa road, a battery of five guns, sup ported by a body of lancers, was discov ered. General Shields’ brigade was discovered by this portion of the enemy. The battery opened with grape on him and on Lt. Benjamin’s company. The gallant general, with a shout from his »-■ men, pushed boldly for the road on the enemy’s left, who, seeing their position completely turned, as well as driven f rom the bill, abandoned themselves to flight.— Gen. Shields was here severely wounded, the command of the brigade devolving upon Col. Baker, who conducted it with ability. The pursuit was continued as far as Eucerro, when I was overtaken by Major General Patterson, United S’ates volunteers, who then assumed command of the advance and ordered a halt. I cannot speak in too high terms of the conductor Col, Harney, who, united with ids indomitable courage, possessed tie cool judgment which enabled him to knew just how far to advance to obtain the de sired object. That sterling soldier and accomplished officer, Major Sumner, 2d JJrafroons, wdio was in command of the regiment of mounted riflemen, exhibited nil the kill and ability rrqui e 1 of a per u.aucni commander of a regiment, lie was severely wounded in the hand by an escopette ball, and obliged to leave the field, the command of the regiment de volving upon Major Loring. Capt. Magruder, Ist artillery, by his • wary and good management in the face of the enemy, succeeded in arriving very near the enemy’s works, driving before him the parties immediately in front,— His gallant conduct deserves especial no tice. Brevet first Lieut. Gardner, 7th in fantry, w hose company was first sent cn the hill, by sustaining himself against a vastly superior force, displayed that ahi’- iiy as commander of a company w h ch, on a former occasion, acquired for him the distinction he now has as brevet first 1 ieutenant. 1 am sorry (hat the advantages gained over the enemy the first day were at end ed with some loss on onr side. Besides Major Sumner, second dragoons, and Lieutenant Maury, rifle regiment, who were severely wounded, and Lt. Geo v ge Il.Goidon, rifle regiment, serving in Maj. TaleoU’s battery of mountain howitzers, and Lieutenant Gibbs, mounted riflemen, slightly, some fifty casualties occurred, principally in the first artillery and rifle regiments. Os the conduct of the volunteer force under the brave General Shields. 1 can not speak in 100 high terms. After lie was wounded, portions of the three regi •menis were with rne when 1 arrived first at the Jalapa road, and drove before them (be enemy s cannoniers from their loaded guns. Their conduct and names shall be the subject of a special report, as also that of the several officers of the regular army, w ho were distinguished on the o'c ca>ion. Accompanied ufifi this, I transmit the several reports from brigade and regi mental headquarters, fu all the recoin mendaiions for praise and promotion 1 en tirely coi eur. Although whatever I may say, may add little to the g<>< d reputation of Capt. Lee, of the engineer corps, yet I must indulge in Te pleasure of speaking of the invaluable ser vices which lie rendered me from the lime I left tfie main road, until lie conducted Col. Rilev’s brigade to its position in rear of the enemy’s strong woik on he Jahpa road, J consulted him with confidence, and adopted h;s suggestions with entire assn ance. Hs gallantry and good conduct, on both days de serve the highest praise. I again present to the favorable consideration of the command* cr-in-chicf, and the President, the names of inv personal staff, First Lieut. W. T. 11. Brooks, third infantry A. A. A. G., and first Lieut. P. W. McDonald, second dragoons, A. D. C Capt. K. A. Allen, A.Q,. M., ron 4ered me invaluable services, not only in vomminiichting orders when he was in the field, but in keeping at hand,tinder all disad vantages, the necessary supplies for my di vision. For his services on this, and on for mer occasions, I most earnestly recommend him for promotion. To Lieutenants Mason, Beauregard, and Tower, of the engineers, and Lieutenant Sikes, third infantry. A.C.S. to the division, I am indebted for valuable ser vices. Whilst on reconnoitering duty on I he 12lh, I lost the valuable services of Lieut. Col. Johnston, who was on duty with me as chief topographical engineers, and was very severely wounded cinder the enemy’s works on the left of the road. In conclusion, 1 have the pleasure of ten dering my thanks to the commanders of re giments and batteries, whose conduct tended so much to the attainment of our glorious victory. The Ist brigade, under Colonel Harney, was composed of the Ist artillery, commanded by Colonel Childs, the rifle regi ment, (after Major Sumner was wounded ) commanded by Major Loring, and the 7th in fantry, commanded by Colonel Plytnplon. * The 2d brigade, under Color el Riley, was composed of tne 4th anil er\’, commanded by Major Gardner, the 2d infantry, commanded by Captain Morris, and the 3d infantry, com manded by Captain Alexander. The volunteer force under my orders was composed of the 3d Illinois regiment, coin man led by Colonel Baker, the 4th I linois regiment, commanded by Colonel Foreman, and ihe New York reg.mental ommanded by Col mel Burnett. The field battery was commanded by Captain Taylor, and the how itzer battery by Major Talcotl. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, D. E. TWIGGS, Brigadier General U. S.

May 22.— Cotton. —Arrived since, the I3th inst., 1,823 bales Upland,* (1.036 per Rail Road.sll from Augusta, and landings on I lie river. 213 via Darien,) and 102 bales Sea Islands. The exports for same period have been 2,998 hah • Upland and 73 Sea Islands; leaving a stock on ham! ami on shipboard not cleared, of 21.407 hales Upland and 2,666 Sea Islands, against 24,326 bales Upland and 566 Sea Islands, at same time last year. Our last report left the market without anima tion, in which state it has continued the entire week. The want of shipping, together with a de cline iu the New York and other markets, has had an affect to depress prices here, and the sales (with the exception of a lew lots on the two first days of our cotton week,) have been made at a decline of a4 to fc. per pound. The market is 100 unsettled to quote accurately, and we therefore omit our usual figures. The sales of the week sum up 529 hales Upland, at the following particulars; 16 at 10|; 143 at iI; IU at llj; 99 at Hi; 17Sat 11 i, 73 at Hi; lU4 at Hi; sat IH, sod 2()1 Riles at 12 cents per pound. In Sea Islands, the sales have bc«n 199 bales, as fol lows: 18 at 20; 23 at 21; 51 at 22; 25 at 23; 53 at 24; 1 at 254, and 25 bales at 35 cents per pound, to gether with 56 bales stained, at prices ranging from 5 to 10 cents per pound. Corn. —We hear of sales of about 7.000 bushels at prices rangi ig from 80 to 874 cents per bushel. Tw o or iliree sales of 200 to 300 bushels were made in the early part of the week, as high as 90 cents per bushel. Salt. —About 2,926 sacks liavearrived this week from Liverpool, none of which has yet bde't' dis posed of. VV e understand it is held at §1,374 pet suck. Freights. —Foreign are. nominal.

CH A R LESTON, May 22.— Cotton.— Received the past week by Rail Road, 3507 bales Upland, water and w agons, 3798 bales—together 7305 bales, (corresponding week last year 6192 bales ) Ex ported in tlie same time to foreign 'potts 1604 hales —coastwise 2195 hales—making the total exports of the week 4099 bales, and leaving on band a stock of 52678 bales, inclusive of 6621 Rates on shipboa d not cleared,against a stuck ol bales same time last year. In our last weekly review we noted tbe arrival, at the commencement of the week, then passed, of the Caledonia's advices, with the remark that the Upland market, since their receipt, had been of an unsettled ami irregular character, and that w hile holders had been unwilling to subrnil to a decline, buyers were only wi ling to operate at terms in their favor. The market on Saturday opened with a very light demand, at prices assuming a more de cided downward tendency—the sale’s amounting to 454 bah*s. On Monday and Tuesday a lew holders submitted to a reduction of } a }c. on the lowPr qualities, principally at which standard sales to the amount of UOO bales were effected.— On Wednesday this concession was more general, bringing a few more buyers in the market, when the sales reached near 96 0 hales. On Thursday morning, the Britannia’s accounts were partially received tit rough some of ihe Northers prints, con veying an important decline in the staple at Liv erpool. Our market appeared to come to a dead stand almost immediately, neither holders nor buy ers evincing tbe least disposition to enter intoany transactions—not a bale was sold during the w hole of the day. Yesterday operators were principally engaged in reviewing their private correspondence, winch in some measure might account for the quietness of the market; but independent of this, the general tone and feeling of holders appeared not to come up to the expectations of buyers, w bo, since the accounts, are said to be looking for greater concessions titan the former for the present are willing to admit. The sales of yesterday con sisted of but 35 ( t bales, all by one house, at prices ranging front II a 114, embracing good mid dling fnir to fair qualities, and said to be. at an ad ditional decline of}c. '1 be total previous sales of the week amount to 2382 hales, at the follow ing particulars: 80 bales at 12; 209, 113; 235, Hi; 132. 114; 277, 1 li; 423, H 4; 709, 11}: 161, 11; 57, ]ti»; 12, 10}; 27, 104; 50, it)}; and 02 bales Nan keen at 9 a 9} cents per U>.

The closing rates this evening are 10$ a !0?c. for middling. This sudden turn of the market is at tributed to the tenor of the private advices per Caledonia. That it may be, there has been «cufee ly any demand, and a few holders, wishing to elose lops, submitted to the reduction named above —-indeed, in some instances, lower oilers have been made without finding purchasers.
