NEW YORK, April 23. – Capt. Elder who reached this city this p. m., states that on the 18th, as a reconnoitering party of the 8th Regiment Michigan volunteers went out under command of Col. Fenton to accompany Lieut. Wilson of the Engineer Corps to Wilmington Island, for the purpose of erecting fortifications, they encountered a regiment of Georgia troops in ambush, and a skirmish ensued, which ended in a complete route of the rebels, leaving their dead on the field.
