Skirmishing near Charleston. From the Charleston papers we learn that heavy skirmishing took place on Tuesday last on James Island, between our forces under Gen. W. D. Smith and the enemy. A party of our men were-sent out as skirmishers to scour the woods in front of Stono river, behind which several of the enemy's gunboats were lying. The right wing of our force was deployed under command of Col. Hagood. This force met with a body of the enemy, who, after a short fight, retreated tout four hours. Captain Williams, of the 47th Georgia regiment, we regret to learn, was mortally wounded while gallantly leading a charge on the enemy's breastwork. Our loss in the engagement was just sixty-five, in killed, wounded, and prisoners. The force of the enemy comprised one regiment of infantry, two batteries of artillery and squadron of cavalry. Among the forces engaged en our side was Peyton Colquitt's splendid regiment, the 46th Georgia, Gen. Pemberton is on James's Island.
