I did not see him as he was taken down the river, and then to Savannah. I never heard hail stones fall thicker or faster than the bnllets did during this last fighting.

At 5 o'clock we had beeu driven back to the river, which is about four nulos from wherd the attack was tirst made in the morning. At this time Gen. Bnell appeared with his forces on the opposite side of the river, aud commeucod sending them across. The cry of "Uome over and help us was on manyadip. The sight of these reinforcements encouraged our meu, who by this time were roarly dishearten ened, and we made another rush upon the rebels and drove them back to our encampment, where they passed theight; but from the lock of things when we again took possession, I sbonld have judged they fCJ The seoesh" at Camp Randall get along quite cheerfully.

A private letter from Lieut. Gkeen, of the llanchettville Rifles Company cf thelGih to his brother, Hon. Walt. S. Green, gives some farther particulars of the recent battle.

Company was one of the four companies of the 16ih on picket duty tinder Lieut. Col. Faiechild, in the advance. They were attacked about 5 o'clock in the morning. Capt.

Saxe, of the Green Lake Company, was killed at the first fire. After a sharp skiimiah the pickets fell back upon their regiment, already drawn up in lice of battle. The regiment made a gallant stand, holding their ground half an hour unsupported and against immense odd-. It was here Lieut. Col.

Faiechild was wounded. The loss in killed and wounded was heavy. Compelled to fall back, they met other regiments coming to their eui port. They then rallied and maintained their Eew position fur over an hour, when they were again compelled to fall back. Thus they fought until four o'clock, formiLg in line of battle eight times during that unequal contest on Sunday.

On Monday, Lieut. Green writes, the regiment again went into the fight. The fight W88 feaiful. The rebels contested every inch of ground, until near night, when their retreat became general, and hasty. The officers of Company all took mubkets and fought with the men.

Liut. Green says he fired fifty cartridges, and as he is a deadly oLol, must have contributed his part towards the rout. A piece cf shell went under his arm, tearing his coat and vest and making his ribs black and blue a pretty nairow escape lie thinks the loss on both hides has been understated. In one place, he says, he could have walked half a mile by stepping from one dead body to another, and that the Secesh were in the proportion of two to one of our men. Bill Faville" a brother of Dr.

On Saturday evening, the 5th, companies I and were as picke Irom our regiment (16lli). Early Sunday morning we heard heavy firing on the right wing of our picket4, and to tLat point we rallied at double quick.

Ve buoii reacLed the field of action and formed into line, and then and there I had my first lire at Seoesh." But tha enemy lagan to press ua hard, being in ovei-wheiming numbers, and we were compelled to fall back slowly until we met reinforcements, and then made a stand. I wish I could describe to you my feelings when I first saw their miserable rattle enake flag." I turned my piece towards it a great many times when I fired. Soon fhe enemy began to outflank us on the left, and retreat again became necessary.

The latter spoke strongly in defence. A general debate ensued, in the course of which Lord Bentinck atttributed the distress ot the country to its incompetent and inhuman policy in refusing to recognize the Confederate States, The question of iron shielded ship and floating batteries continues to occupy the attention ot Government. The shipwrights have all been transferred from wooden to iron vessels, in ot construction. A proposition was before the Common Council of London, to confer the freedom ct the citjr in a gold snuff box, on Mr. Peabody, tor hi9 munificence.

Queenstown, April 10. The English government has contracted for an iron cupalo ship, iunder Capt. Coles invention, to be ready for 6ea June 1st, 18G3. Experiments with a gun of large size showed the best and hitherto considered impenetrable forms of shades were, so to speak, almost as eaily penetrated by a phot as if tha target had been of timber. Gen.

Wm. Armstrong says that a gun of twelve tons weight tired with a charge of fifty pounds ot powder, will break through the sides of the (Varrior, or the strongest ships afloat. A target like the Warrior sides was shattered into crumbs at the trial. The Times says no weapon of offence seems left iu now so effective as large armor-clad and very swiTt steam rams.

Mr. Anthony said that the credit of taking Fort Polaski belonged to Gen. Sherman, and he believed that the correspondence would show that he had discharged all the duties required of him.

The day's fighting tliu ended, we had the pleasure of layig out in a drenching rain all that night, without any shelter, or even a fire. Early the next rnornirg we commenced the attack, and the enemy began to retreat, and continued on the retreat nntil the middle of the afternoon, when they were completely routed. In the morning I found onr Regiment was to bo held as a reserve, and joined in with an Illinois regiment, and did what little good I could. It rained all that night, and again we were drenched. All I l.ad to eat from Saturday evening until Tuesday noon, were a few hard crackers.

soldiering is fun, and no mistake I Tuesday forenoon our regiment marched up to our old camp ground. Almost all our tents were left, but everything else was gone. The captain's and lientenanti' tents were missing, their trunks smaskad cp, and nothing but a few old papers left. Capt. Pease was wounded in the leg below the knee.

At Savannah he received all the attention that could be bestowed upon him, but to no avail. On Friday morning (11th) at four o'clock, he died. The surgeons could not find the piece of shell with which he was wounded. They suppose it struck the bone and glanced upwards. Mortification finally set in.

He fought bravely on the battle field and died like a soldier. I can hardly realize that he is dead. The enemy's loss is estimated at three times that of ours. The way tho dead rebels were piled np on the battl field ought to be "a caution" to "Secesh." They are a hard-looking set, no two beirg dressed alike, though most of them wore light snuff-colored coats. There were twenty-one of our company killed, wounded and missing 7 killed.
