Ws Iseult from England that Lord JOHN Room, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has stated in Parliament that the British Govern ment will not permit Southern privateers to enter their ports, or occupy them for piques of plunder or the disposal of plunder. In this determination England is supported by France, whose Emperor intimates that the ports of the empire will be closed to the Montgomery pirates. We expect to see this action followed by that of the other European rowers, and thus, before the privateeramen of Mr. Jarrmon DAVIN have got over their sea-sickness, they will find themselves de barred from entering the ports of the com mercial world. IT was very proper that the citizens of Phi ladelphia should tender their courtesies to the Hon. G. E. DALL6S, on his return from the Eiglisti Court. The correspondence will be found elsewhere. It is marked by giant good taste on the part of those tendering the compliment to our distinguished townsmen. Mr. DALLAS Will receive the citizens to morrow, at his home, 920 Walnut street, between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock. He has served the interests of the Republic with commendable ability and patriotism. Few among us are so eminent, by reason of their great services to the country, and his welcome, tomorrow, will amply testify the esteem in which he is held by the people of Philadelphia. The Action near Fortress Monroe; We have learned a lesson in Southeastern Virginia, and experience has charged us an unusually dear price. Some three or four thousand Federal troops left Fortress Monroe on Sunday night, for the purpose of taking a rebel battery at a place called Great Bethel, about nine miles from Hampton. The erec tion of the battery was evidently part of a plan to environ the fortress and to strengthen the defensive works of our enemies. It was found, on making the attack, that the Federal troops were unable to cope with the well-fortified Rebels. Their artillery was inefficient, and they were compelled to retire before the rifled cannon of the Virgiru — a troops. Oar own loss was heavy. thing is known about the Rebels, but as they were well-entrenched behind masked batte ries, it is probable they escaped without loss. We have before us two statements of this melancholy affair. It is evident that there has been an unpardonable error somewhere. By a misunderstanding of the orders, two of our own regiments engaged in a conflict, each utt• der the impression that the other was of the Rebel force. Several shots were Interchanged, and many brave men were wounded and slain before the mistake was corrected. We are told that General PIERCE lost his presence of mind on the field of battle, and the inference Is that to him the disaster of the day is owing. This statement is made, however, on the un confirmed authority of a telegraphic reporter, and jaatice to General PIERCE requires ns to await the facts before we pass an opinion on his conduct. We cannot conceive bow a force so poorly equipped and apportioned, lacking in artillery and the means of an available and offensive warfare, should have been sent on an errand like that undertaken by the command of General BUTLER. We hope we shall have no more blunders in this campaign. The moral effect of a repulse like that of Monday will be wonderful among the Southern people. The lives of our volun teers are too precious to be sacrificed in fruit less sallies, or by the ignorance or misappre hension of those commanding them. We de plore this disaster, and mourn the melancholy fate of the brave men who have fallen; but it teaches discretion to those in authority, and shows onr soldiers that rashness is not valor, nor reckless daring true military courage. The lesson will not be - without its uses, how ever dearly we may have paid for it. Military Movements. There is every indication of an approaching conflict in Virginia, and we can hardly expect to see the "month of battles" pass by without a fearful contest between the Federal army and the rebels. The campaign thus far has been a mere succession of strategical move ments on both sides. It is hard to realize that it is not two months since the people of the North were anxious for the safety of the capi tal, and yet in these two months we have gained many victories. In a military sense, we have made Washington impregnable; for tified ourselves in Virginia, occupied Balti more, crushed out treason in Missouri, raised the flag of the Union in Western Virginia, and placed Kentucky on her good behavior. In a moral sense, we have conquered faction at home, and merged all feelings of partisan ship into a feeling of patriotism. We begin to know ourselTes, and, although it may be a feeling of pride which prompts the thought, we are beginning to understand that tree no bleness of heart, inflexibility of purpose, and devotion to the laws, which constitutes the true American character. It is important, for the safety of Maryland and Pennsylvania, that the rebel troops should be driven from their present position at Har per's Ferry. A movement of this nature is rendered ne'essary as a measure of self defence. Harper's Ferry is within two days' forced march of Pennsylvania, and a suffi ciently strong force could leave that position to-day, and threaten Philadelphia before the week wassover. We do not apprehend any such danger, but the plan is possible, and in war every possibility Is a probability. The advance of Gen. PArrenson's column on Ha gerstown may immeasurably increase our secu rity, but it must be remembered that a defeat would place us at the mercy of an angry and desperate horde; and, although we do not speak except from uncertain newspaper state ments, we are very much mistaken it the rebel force does not outnumber the force under com mand of General PATIISRSON. It is thought that an advance on Harper's Ferry would be made simultaneously by Gen. MECIXIX.Mir iron/ the west, GPM. BATIMMIOII from the north, and Gen. CADWALADER from the east, leaving Gen. MeDowxxs to menace Gen. BEMIEXUAILD at Manassas Gap, and Gen. Bums threatening Southeastern Virginia at Fortress Monroe. We cannot see what part Gen. Mc/Canaan is to take, as he has evi dently enough to do in Western Virginia, and his army will have to cross the mountains to get into service. We think that Gee. VLD. waiamm will occupy Frederick city, and hold Unwell ready to cut off any attempt at a Secession demonstration in that diatffected and uncertain section of Hartland, and that upon the Pennsylvania forces will devolve the task of attacking Harper's Ferry. Whether the first battle be at Harper's Ferry, the Manassas Gap, or Alexandria, it shonki result in a victory to the United States troops. We believe that it will be so, because we are confident that General brow would not hazard any offensive operation in which there was a mere risk of failure. If we ta k e these two gra/ points, and establish ourselves there, the next movement will be upon Rica mood. Before that is contemplated, however, we hope to see a hundred thousand armed men on the banks of the Potomac, prepared to Co-operate with the forces from the West, who will undoubtedly be called upon to do their part in that work. Richmond ours, limaphis mast be taken, and before December let there be a military reunion in It ew Orleans. We believe the thing is practicable, although it l ini t ogs money and men. The Government has enough of both, and its duty should be simply that of leading Its soldiers to victory. Mr. Grattan Guinness Against War. The Rev. H. Gaarran Geurnass has pub lished a small brochure, 22 pages 12mo, enti tled d. The Duty et Christians in the Present Crisis ; a Letter to a Christian Brother." He does not write as well as he preaches. Nor is the doctrine which he here inculcates likely to be acceptable to the public—though, we suppose, thinking himseli right, that weighs not a tittle with him. He declares that man and Satan agree when they say .' the Government can only be de fended on such occasions MS this, with the sword; the Christian is bound to defend the Government, and, therefore, bound now to use the sword. If war is an evil, it is a ne cessary one; principles of peace cannot be Carried out in this world," but that the Word of God does not attempt to regulate earthly Governments on Christian principles, •" as the Word of God does not command the Christian to defend, such Governments, nor in any way to identify himself with them, but simply to submit, to, and pray for them, so it does not command him to use the sword in their de fence, or for any purpose, but the direct con trary. It positively forbids his using any weapon of injury, either in an offen sive or a defensive way." What Mr. Gountass especially tries to show is, rg First, that submission to the powers that be, which the Lord requires from his people, does not include active co-operation with these powers, much less the obligation to draw the sword in their defence ;" and, "Second, that while the Lord requires from his followers obedience to magistrates, ho also requires disobgaience to them In cases in which their commands aro directly contrary to his own ; which. I have shown to, be the present case. For, while the earthly ruler commands you to take up arms against your fellow-men, the Lord commands you to love •your enemies, to refrain from strife, to follow peace with an men, to be meek, mereifid, and gentle towards all men;'not even to resist evil treatment from any man, to be a peace-makerond, in short, to deal with others in the gracious way in which God has dealt with you." If Mr. Curstruses suggestion ( 4 not to draw the sword, or in any way advocate the cause of war, but rather to bear testimony by word and deed for the gracious and peaceful ptinci pies of the religion ofJesus " were to be car ried out, in what condition would our country be 7 Surely, self defence, the first law of nature, which is allowed to individuals, can not be prohibited to the people at large, com posed of an aggregation of indirldnals. Sure ly, in the Bible, from which Mr. Guisszss quotes so freely, be will find many examples of war, recorded as having been sanctioned by Goff. Hr. trRATTAN GrutinEss, we take leave to remark, would have acted wisely in not publishing such a pamphlet as this, at such a orisis,—when the liberties, the lives, the insti tutions, the very existence of our vast population, as a nation, risen to great.. ness by Union, are all threatened by trea son and rebellion. Nor, -censideiing that he is merely a tempOrary visitor here. and not a citizen, can we think him even just'. fled in publishing his opinions against the war in which, by the treason and misconduct Of the South, we are new unhappily involved. If we understand Mr. GrauxEss's argument, it would teach that we are to submit to the aggression of the revolted South, and - not re sist it. The Gospel law, he tells us, forbids a Christian avenging his privale injuries, and 4 4 The same principle which prohibits his avenging personal injury—a thing right in it self, also prohibits his avenging public injury— a thing right in itself; both involve the exer cise of unmingled justice, and are opposed to the exercise of pure grace." He adds, 46 Can you hesitate any longer, dear brother Do you not see that you Cannot, under the influence, or in the exercise'of tender love towards your enemy, stab, or shoot, or kill him 7 and that if yon may not stab, or shoot, or kin him, yon may not go to war? God forbid you should shrink back from this truth any longer !" Mr. Goontsss is scarcely wise in publishing such doctrine as this, under existing circum stances. The South Carolina 44 Gentlemen." Mr. RUSSELL'S last letter from South Caro lina opens up prominently before the world a new phase of the Southern Rebellion. He has mingled intimately with the aristocracy of that State, who control all its political move ments, and who were the active agents in pre cipitating the present war upon our country, with all the miseries and horrors which must inevitably attend it. And what, after all, did he find the real gg cause of all their woes" to be ? What terrible oppression and outrageous wrongs have justified in their eyes all the fearful responsibilities of the movement they have inaugurated ? What excuse do they offer for seeking to destroy the noblest. Go vernment that has ever existed, and for drenching our fair land with the blood of the bravest and noblest of her sons ? Briefly, the case stands thus : In their opinion they are "gentlemen," proud of their lineage, fall of devotion to English lairs and customs, and to monarchical institutions ; and much as they love all the trappings of aristo cracy, they hate the rough and unpolished, but beneficent away of republicanism ; while they entertain for the civilization of the North, par ticularly of New England, an aversion so deadly and profound that no ordinary language can express it. Deeply impressed with the conviction that the cc mud-sills" of this indus trious portion of the Confederacy can "neither comprehend nor regard the feelings of gentle men," they have felt bound, in honor, for this cause, and for this cause chiefly, to destroy the Confederacy ! To many readers such statements as this will seem incredible, and it is possible that one of the motives which animated those who presented this view of the case to the cor respondent of the London Times was to win the sympathies of a portion of the ruling classes of England; but the fact is neverthe less true that the leading spirits of the great conspiracy are penetrated with a profound contempt for republican institutions; that they have no respect for the will of the ma jority; that they would infinitely prefer a despotism or a monarchy, in which they could share the honors of the crown to our present form of government,—and that, among the causes which bare engendered our present difficulties, the prejudices and predilections to which we have thus referred have been very active and powerful. It is a new thing in modern times for a revo. IUtIOn tO be commenced in a country because its institutions are too liberal and free—be cause it is willing to permit its citizens to en joy a greater amount of liberty than a few malcontents desire them to possess; and it was reserved for, this land of strange experi ments to present this singular anomaly. But we can scarcely believe that in the South it self, among the muses, any considerable amount of sympathy with this foolish, wanton, and wicked feeling can exist. For the present the people there are madOned and deceived by false representations, &tidied to destruction by artful appeals to their pride and animosities. But when the cloud which now obscures their vision is removed, it will be strange if they do not turn with indignation against their be trayers. As for the 4‘ gentlemen" conspira tors of South Carolina, who have for years plotted against the nation which has protected them, and . whose escutcheons are stained with almost every blot that true types of manhood despise and abhor, one of the most sacred duties of this war is to provide for their ettec- two punishment; and until the hill penaltiea of treason are Inflicted upon such malignant and dangerous enemies of the Republic, we can have no abiding and substantial peace. The Convention in Western Virginia:- Yesterday was the day fixed for the meeting, at Wheeling, of the Convention which pro poses to establish a loyal State Government in Virginia. It was expected that all of the western and some of the eastern counties would be represented. The suggestion con tained in several articles published in Tun Parse, about the time that the c 4 Secession " of Western Virginia was advocated, has, we believe, been adopted, and the new loyal Go vernment is to act, as far as possible, for the whole, and not for a portion, of the Old Do minion. While our armies are preparing to beat back the traitor hosts from her et sacred soil," a new political organization, which will faith fully represent the interests and wishes of her patriotic sons, will be perfected, and the power of JOHN larronan and his Secession counsel lors will be destroyed as soon as the armed forces which now sustain hhn are defeated, or compelled to retreat ::z754 Woman's _Mission in The Present War. Woman has no more appropriate sphere than the side of the wounded, the siek, and the dying. The experience of modern clviii sacion proves that even in the associations of the camp, and amid the horrors of war, wo man may servo the cause of humanity with honor to her sex. FLoassos NIGHINGALE, the cc ministering angel" of the hospitals of Scutari, is a name which will be honored in all coming time, as the bravest, gentlest, and most self denying of brave, gentle, and self denying womanhood. In no land was her ex ample more appreciated than in America, and now when the desolation and gloom of war is upon us, we see thousands of our sisters com ing forward anxious to emulate her noble ex ample. - The Secretary of War, appreciating this feeling, and convinced of the great propriety of his course, has made arrangements for consolidating and rendering effective the ser vices of a corps of volunteer hospital nurses. Hitherto our Government has excluded women from our general hospitals, except in the most subordinate capacities, entrusting the sick aoldiety to the attention of males. The Se cretary well remarks ft that public sentiment and the humanity of the ago" demand that woman be recognized In her• true position; He has appointed Miss Dix, a lady eminent over the world for her pure spirit of philan;. thropy and self-devotion, and experienced in everything that goes to fit woman for such a position, superintendent Of women nurses, with the exclusive authority to accept Bitch as she may deem properly fitted for the ser vice. The nurses will be paid by the Govern ment. Volunteers will be received who may be over thirty years of age, and can present certificates of character and capacity. Anything which teads to huinaniZe the bar barons practice of war, or to alleviate the miseries of the brave men who suffer for their country, will be gladly welcomed as a tribute to civilization and Christianity. This, we believe, will be the effect of the action of our General Government. We congratulate the women of the Republic on the opportunity which is afforded to them of sharing in the perils and glory of this just and necessary war. The Southern Navy. Mr. Eussnr,L, in his letter to the London Times, from Savannah, Ga., alluding to the strange infatuation which indUced Com. TIT WALL to abandon an honorable position in the United states nary, and to associate hiraself with the Southern traitors, says: "Re lute no fortune whatever; hie fleet oonalete of two small river or cousin steamers, without gnu, and as be said, in talking over the resources of the South, My bones will be bleached many a long year before the Confederate Wattle can hope to have a navy'.'" We have here a candid and perfectly truth ful confession of the weakness of the boastful section which has been silly enough to delude itself with the belief that it was the wealthiest and most powerful portion of our country. Almost destitute of mechanical skill, and pos sessed of limited financial resources, its chief dependence for a supply of the Materials of war, by sea or land, is theft. So long as it can steal vessels, guns, ammunition, provi sions, horses, wagons, forage, and other public and private property, it is in its element. When it is compelled to manufacture or to buy them, its powers at once fail, and it dri vels into hopeless imbecility. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE. Letter front “Oceasional.” Correepondenoe of The Pram) WASHINGTON, da t a 11,1881. Extraordinary interest attaches to the forth doming special session of the two Rouses of Con gress. The President will demand not only the sanction of the represontetivee of the people for all his acts, but atithority to exercise new powers. The different bermea are preparing their budgets to forward thein to . the secretaries ; whose reports Will then he presented to the President, and le, him discussed in hie message. The war has already cost an enormous sum, and the magnitude of pre sent preparations indicates an unparalleled ex penditure. I perceive that some of the Breokin ridge papers, condected by men who are at heart inimical to the country, and who should be visited by the sternest popular reprobation, are attempt ing to make a point against tbe Administration by charging that the President has transcended hit powers in calling armies into the field, estab liebing blookadea, end directing our generale to suspend the writ of habecve corpus. These malcontents are the only pereone left In the Joys! States who cling to tbe robber fortunes of Jeff. Davie and his amoietes. Their mission is, if pos sible, to divide the people by attaoking the Govern ment- Nothing will be left undone by them to accomplish We purpose, and they cannot be too closely watched. Bat whatever may result, the action of Congress may be readily anticipated. Not only will the President be heartily sustained; but every step he has taken will be enthusiasti cally endorsed. Ido not believe there will be an attempt at a party movement in either houre be yond the displacement of such Beeeseioniste as have been permitted to remain in position. Demo orate, who have heretofore antagonised the Re publioans, will now be found on the side of the General Government. As an Instance of the spirit that animates patriotic men of the late Demo °ratio organization, it is worth stating that Kr. Perry, the successor of Mr. Speaker Pen nington, eleoted last year in the Newark (New Jersey) district, who Malted Washington a few dept ago, detained hit determination to support Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet; and, at the eamb time, expressed a hope that nothing would be done to prevent men like himself from uniting with men of all other parties in the mane cause. And in conversation, genus evenings sine., Kith several members of the Cabinet, I was struck with the liberality and earnestness with which they argued in favor of the recognition of wellknown Dein crate who were ready to sustain the measures me (emery for the prosecution of the war, end the punishment of the traitors. The appointment of Ron. E. Joy Kerrie mg minister to Constantinople, long looked for by his friends, has at last been made. It Is a handsome and deserved recognition of one of the ablest de fenders of the Government, and one of the modem. complished scholars and experienced diplomats. Of course he will immediately resign Me seat, which will reader necessary a special election in hie district. Here, new, is an oppertouity for the purpoie of test ing the patriotiem of the people of Philadelphia. It is earnestly to be hoped that none of the little politicians will be permitted to enter the field with their favorites, but that some one good candidate, wholly and heartily identified with the great movement against geoession and rebellion, will be selected, and receive an unanimous support. I cannot too deeply impress upon the minds of the people that the Breokinridge element lin Philadelphia, and elsewhere, is busily and bit terly at work with all sorts of schemes and plots against the Government. It is even said that two of hie chief supporters at Charleston are about to 'establish a Democratic para. in Philadelphia, tbe whole object of which, of oouree, will be to em barrass tbe Government, to misrepresent Its friends, and to clutch at every opportunity for the purpose of assisting the common enemy. As a distinguished gentleman wrote me the other day, "Trust no men who has been prominent in his support of John C. Breokinridge. If be we re honest in that support, he would not be sincere in his present professions ; and if dishonest, he ought not now to be trusted." In this, I do not mean the rank and file, who followed the lead of desperate men, because it is one of the glorious indications of the present times that the masses of the Ameri can people In the free States are loyal. Will Phila delphia demonetrate, at the forthcoming special election, in the Second district, that she under stands all her duties to the country, and that she will permit no trifling, on the part of any of the rejected leaders of any party, with the momentous issues involved in this gret t straggle? The genius of General Gaon was never so re splendent as at thie moment. Seated in his quiet office, he seems the very incarnation of inspired patriotism. Criticieni is hushed before the specta cle of his wonderful prescience and power, and those petty, (earplug cenobite who have recently indulged themselves by questioning the gagmen7 of hie nreparatione, are silent and abashed as the plan of his great campaign is gradually unfolded.

IMPORTANT FROM FORTRESS MONROE Advance of 'United Statoo TrOiMs on a Rebel Baiteiy. SAD MISTAKE. O 1 THE PATRIOT THOOPS. Friends Firing upon Friends. REPULSE OF THE U. S. FORCES. A Masked Battery. LIST , OF XELLED AND WOUNDED; BALviatourt, Jane 11.—The steadier from Old Point Comfort has arrived tbe following In telligenee, dated at Fortress Monroe last evening. This has been an exciting and sorrowful day at Old Point Comfort. Osneral Butler having learned that the rebels were forming an entrenched camp with strong bat.; torten at Great Bethel, nine miles from Hampton, on the lir.orktom road, he deemed it necessary to dislodge them. Accordingly, movements were made last night from Fortress Monroe and New port News. • About Midnight, Colonel Duryea's; Z 0112 1 ,011 and Colonel Townsend's Albany regiment crowed the river at liiimpton by means of six large bat teens, manned by the Naval Brigade, and took up tie line of march. The former were some two miles In advance yf the latter. At the same time, Colonel Benedix's regiment and a detachment of the Vermont and Maesaohu setbi regiments, et Newport News, moved forward Worm a jetietion with the sesta/elite from Fort sees Monroe, at Little Bsthel, about half way be . tween Hampton and Great Bethel. The Zottaves passed Little Bethel at about four o'clock. A.., M. Benedix's iegiment arrived next, end took a positien at the intersection of the roads. Rot understanding the signal, the regiment in the darkness of the morning fired upon Colonel Towesend'enolumn, marching in oboe order, and led by Lieutenant Batter, son of Eteneral Butler, and also his aid, with two pieces of artillery. Other accounts say that Coi. Townsend's self. merit fired Vat. At all events, the fire of the Al bony regiment was harmlees, while that of the Germans was fatal, killing one man and fatall wounding two others, with several slight casual ties- The Albany regiment being beck. the Germane disoovered from the accoutrements left on the field that the supposed enemy was a friend. They bad in the meantime fired nine rounds with small arms and a field piece. The Zauaves hearing the fire had turned and fired also upon the Albany boys - At daybreak, Col. Allen's. and Col. Carr's regi merits moved from the rear of the fortrese to sup port the main body. The mistake at Little Bethel having bean ascertained, the buildings were burned, and a major, with two prominent. geese elonists, named Livery and Whiting, were made priffoDOTO. - The troops then advanced upon Great Bethel in the following order the Z )911PrOB, Colonel Bender, bleat Col. Waeliburee, Cul. Allen, and Col Cart At that point our regiments formed and gnomes voly endeavored to take a large masked battery of the Secessionists. . • The effort was futile, our three smell pieces of artilltry not being able to oope with the heavy rifled canes or the enemy, tiocording to some ay °outdo thirty in number. The rebel battery was so completely masked that no men could be seen, but the Bodies of the gaga onTy. There were probably fess than 1,000 man behind the bittery of the rehab. A welligonoerted movement might have scoured the posit Ton, but Brigadier General Monde, who oomm.nded the expedition, seemed to have lost his presence of mind, and t he Troy Regiment stood an hour exposed to a galling Ire. An order to re. treat :was at length given, bat at that moment Lieutenant treble, of the United States army, and in command of 'the artillery, was struck by , a cannon ball and instantly killed. Re had spiked his tun, and wee gallantly endeavoring to WI hdtaw his eommand. .oept - . George W. - Wilson, of the Troy regiment, after the order to retreat, took possession or the gun, And with Qeartermaster MoArther brought ft off the. field, with the oorptie of the beloved lieutenant: They brought them _to the, fortress this evening. There are probably 25 killed and 100 wounded. Lieut. Butler deserves the, greatest credit for bringing off the killed and wounded. Beverat of the batter are now in the hospital here. It should have been Stated that Col. MaCheii• nefiregiment formed a reserve, and that Col. Hawkins' regiment moved from Hewport News during the day. The armed vessels went up to Newport News, excepting the Cumberland. An the regiments are now probably at their former quarters. Mural indignation is manifested against Briga dier General Pierce. General Butler has been übiquitous, doing an in his power to save our men and the honor of our cause. Another Account. BALTIMORE, June special correspondent of the Am er:4am returned this morningfrom Fort ress Monroe furnishes the following soommt of the battle at Great Bathe!: For several days past General Butler had been advised of the movements or a considerable body of rebels in the vicinity of a 'village called Great Bethel, which le about twelve mile, distant from Fortress Monroe, and near the road leading to Yorktown. Believing, from reliable reports, that they had thrown up entrenchments, and were gradually extending their outer line of pickets, he deter mined, after consultation with other officers, to whip them away. lie accordingly gave orders to several regiments to hold themselves in readiness to marolf at a moment's notice. At the same time the chief of the ordnance de partment received orders to send out, forthwith, a battery of howitzers, which was soon under line of march, comprising four 12 pounders, a detachment of United States artillery, with Lieutenant John T. Elreble, of Pennsylvania, and other officers. A party of the Naval Brigade was also quickly mustered for the purpose of conveying troops across Elempton creek, which was done by means of fish ing boata, sent down on Saturdayfrom the Susque hanna river. The detailed force of volunteers consisted of three regiments : the Albany regiment, Colonel Townsend ; the New York Zonavas, Colonel Duryea; and the Ninth New York regiment, COL Benedix, with companies of other regiments, com prising a force of nearly three thousand men The command moved at half put 12 o'clock on Sunday night, with. the Zonaree nearly one hour ahead, and, owing to a moat unfortunate mistake in relation to eignalti, two of the regintente got into collision, when 'Col. Benedix's regiment, mis taking that of Col. Townsend's for the enemy, fired into them, and did not discover their mistake until the dawn-of day, when their supposed enemies left them masters of the field. It is net known how many were killed and wounded, but it will not be considerable. After artexplanallon and a mutual understand ing it was agreed to move onto Eireat Bethel, and the entire force took up the line of marsh for that point. which is three miles from the place where the error was committed. As soon as the right of the column got near the place they were apprised of the presence of the foe, who were very strongly entrenched, and opened fire upon them with a battery of rifled cannon The Federal troops promptly,reeponded, but vol leys of infantry and a small pack of howitzers was unavailing against mush a formidable battery, and, in the oonree of half an hour, a retreat was sound ed, and executed in good order. The regiments moved well, and the men, it Is acknowledged on all aides, aoted,with a spirit of determination. The moot melanoholy feature was the death of Liecrtenaz t Groblo It was almost impossible to tell the number of killed and wounded on the aide of the Federal troops, but I was told bp General Butler that his estimate was about 30 killed and 100 wounded. It was feared that Major,Winthrop, aid to Gene ral Butler, had been killed, as ho oould not be found. When the news of the action readied the fort ress; the utmost sadness prevailed, and there was a sorrowful !epee visible throughout 'rhe"fret wounded man who reached the fort ress was private James! Garbet, Be came in an ambulance, which was very carefully driven, As soon as General Butler heard of the affair, 'thigh was about seven o'clock, be mounted his horse and rode at the height 'of speed to Newport Noes, for the purpose of aseertalning all the feats in the ease. Colonel Dimmlok also rode around ramparts and, inspecting the side near the land approach, ordered howitzers and mortars to be gotten ready. About nine A; M., the steamer Cali/me reached the wharf with some of the dead and wounded. In the meantime, nearly all the armed fleet pro ceeded up the Tames river to Newport News. 3be hospital for the regular forcer and the regi ments of volunteers who are stationed in the fort is in drat-rate order, and under the direotion of Dr Ocular will continue so. It is effiolally an nonsiced that the health of the garrison is excellent, and that but few are on the slot list. I Wive endolivorefl to get a Het of the killed mid woueded in the affair at Great Bethel, but elm °ceded only partially, es but row of them bad reached the fort at the hour foe the departure of the boat which usually leaves at 4 P. M., but was' detained for your oorrespondent up to 9 &cloak on thlg ocoaaion. The following are the rumen of thaw who ar rived : Joseph Richards, company 0, Third New York infantry, alight bayonet wound in thigh. William O. Oady, company F, game regiment, wounded by Mink bill In abdomen, and supposed to he OMR when I left Lie room. • James Garnet, company 0, lame regiment, enetained a eammiented fracture of thigh • la very bed,_and mutt safer_ amputation, even if he mu . etre& James Connelly, company A, same regiment, shot in the right knee, the ball not penetrating the joint.

Baker, company 0, same regiment, shot in the calf of the leg; only a flash wound. Of these, sueh at are oonsoious are singularly cheerful. Ans,ng the killed was Lieutenant Greble, of the United thates Artillery. He was [amok upon the right side of the forehead by a rifled cannon ball, which tore away the upner part of the bead. He was an efficient oilieer, and greatly beloved by hie brother offleere, who, as may be expected, are keenly grieved by the bereavement. His nerrl will take time on Wednesday, and hie ra mains will be deposited in a metallic ccßlo, spe cially ordered from Biltimore. Orderly Sergeant Goodfellow, of company D, First New York Regiment, wait struck be a cannon ball, and fell deed. Three members of the same company were badly wounded. It appears that the Albany regiment, under Col, Townsend, were in reserve. It was thought that Lieut. Col, Grinnell had been killed, as he was missing. Capt. Jadeon Kilpatrick, aompany H, of the &neves, was wounded in the fleshy part of the thigh by the berating of a shell, but gallantly led his company across the field to the attack.
