The Battle at Great Bethel.
The Official and detailed accounts of the
battle at Great Bethel, while they do not very
materially differ from the first reports, still
contain some new intelligence of a redeetn
ing character. The number of killed and
wounded is considerably smaller than was at
first suppose& Our troops displayed heroic
bravery under a galling fire, and so vigorously
did they press the attack that when the order
for a retreat was sounded, it its now believed
the traitors were on the point of locoing the
iladd. Fearing that a second demonstration
Would be made against them, they left their
entrenobinents soon after the battle, and bastb

Yorktown, after burning the adjacent build

tie does not refer in terms of disparagement
to Gen. Paula, although in the current ru

efficiency and mismanagement. It was left
discretionary with the lottor whether, in the
event of a failure to surprise Little Bethel,
(which was prevented by the accidental firing
referred too be should attack Groat Bethel at
all. Be took the responsibility of assailing
it, and unless he throws some important new
light, in his &Mild desputcheti, upon his con
duct, his reputation, as a soldier, will be far
from enviable.
The officers and men Of the Army of the
Union of course know that they fight with the
eyes of the whole civilized world directly upon
them. If serious false steps are made ; it
glaring incapacity is the' ; if any lack of
courage is exhibited', and, above all, if men
in high commands prove in the hour of trial
to be utterly unworthy of their positions, they
kadbettt3r never been bora than compelled to
encounter the withering indignation and con
tempt which await them. From present indi
cations, greater publicity will be given tO all
the movements of this campaign than has ever
attended any other extensive contest. Where
th er e are weaknesses and failures they will
w t edfly be exposed ; but where skilful,
heroic, and gallant deeds are performed the
lame of their authors will be trumpeted

honor by good conduct, and to lasting dis
grace by incompetency and inexcusable errors,
lie brlyealy open, and era the summer wanes
away many of OUT officers will have travelled

Altered Tone of the British Illtetstry.
As was to be expected, the British Govern
ment has changed its tone with respect to this
country, and does not any further care to con
tend that an insurrection, widen meet and can
be put down by the people,
is Independence.
Such a fledgling takes a long time before it
can take a flight, and a hundred casualties
may bring it to a perilous end. The news
from England by the two last mails leads us
to think that the British Ministry, exercising
that bettor part of valor, Discretion, has a
decided purpose of pausing ere it advises
Queen Vicrosria to address King Cotton as
if Sir, my brother."
Not the less, however, are Femmes/v/4r
and Reams, gray-haired men who have
passed the threescore years and ten which
the royal Psalmist declares to be the usual limit
of human life—not the less are these crafty
and cold-blooded men to be condemned for
their evident first purpose of taking up the
cause of treason in the South against the
Oonstitution which has knit these American
States in a bond of Union. We believe that
.‘ they tried it on" as long and as boldly as
they dared. But Queen Vier:mu:B private
feelings are believed to be against the South,
and the feelings of the mass of her subjects,
of all creeds and classes, are known to be so.
In the teeth of this popular feeling, Rentz.",
[MON and Rossm, who maintain themselves
in office only ay sueeessive concessions to
public opinion, dared not take part against
our Union.
Lord JOHN, in his now character oroOnserva
tive, recently took occasion, during a puha
mentary debate on the Budget, gravely to re.
prove Sir JOTIN RAMSDEN, one of the Yorkshire '
members, for having exultingly proclaimed that
"the great republican bubble of America had
burst." His Lordship said that when a Des.
potism, such as had existed in severalwm:-iii:
Italy, was overthrown, he rtAgigLiii•Ueeedingly,
and this joy overca e pain he, experienced
at what bad t en place in America. He
added
F r E C:Winn that I have always thought, and I do
think, that this country is more free than the
United Statile of Among., have been. I admit
that the great founders of that Republic, wise and
able men as they were, had not the materials al
hand, as we have in this country, by whioh they
might have been able to interpose the curb and
3E:Tref:lion of mum to restrain the passionate
dictates of popular will. But, sir, although in acme
respects they have failed in providing ouch re
itraints from not having the materials, yet it hoe
been for a large number of years a great and free
inereitslog is balminess, giving example lo
the world of people in the enjoyment of riches, of
wealth, and of freedom, and thus giving prospects
of improvement in the happiness of mankind
(Cheers j And when I reflect upon what it was
coat brought on this soniflet—the reproaches that
ere made by the States of the North against the
'States of the South—when I reflect that those re
preaches, and the resistance whioh bas been made
in consequence, hero arisen from that accursed in
Nutrition of slavery, I cannot but rooolleat Mee
that, with our great and glorious Institution'', we
gave them that curie—that ours were the hands
through which came that fatal gift—that poisoned
gement whisk has clung around them from the
first hour of their independence. [Renewed neer
, log J And, therefore, air. Ido not think it seemly
to show anything like exultation at their discord,
and still leas to reproach them, as if we were the
immasnlate beings who had done all our duties
while they had failed in theirs. [Cheers J Sir,
•hese are the feelings with whien I beard my
honorable friend the other night, and I must say
[ believe that the sentiment/ he expressed were
exceptional, and not at all in accordance with
be general feeling of the country. Indeed, I
think nothing has been more honorable to
cuts Rouse than the general pain and grief
which have been evinced at the prospect of this
great and tree people being abets! to rush to arms
'o destroy each other's happiness. (near, hear ]
I have but a few words more to say, but I think it
to nomissary I should add that neither with regard
to America, nor with respect to Prance, or any of
the great he:opium nations, do I See at present
I any prospect that our "peaceful relations will be
disturbed. [Cheers J The whole world is in a state
of change, and far be it from me to make any pro
phecy, but all I can say is, that, as far as I know,
the feelings of all Mates toward° tale country are
friendly—[hear, hear]—that there aro no questions
pending upon which a confliot is likely to aria.,
and that as far as my humble means can promote
the cause of pesos and goOd will on earth, it will
be my object and ray endeavor to do so. [Loud
obeerse
This, bating the bit of blarney about the
superior freedom enjoyed by the English, is
sufficiently explicit, and will be regarded
here, as undoubtedly intended, as a minis
terial apology to the American Government.
Lord Joan admits that we are a great, a free,
a prosperous nation; . admits that slavery,
which is at the bottom of the present civil war,
wan impined upon America, when a Colony,
by England ; admits that, therefore, England
has no right to exult at the present troubles o f
America; and proclaims, in a tone of great
confidence, that the Palmerston Cabinet sea
nothing in existing relations with foreign
States to make them fear a quarrel with Ame
rica, France, or any other contstry. Lord
Joax, eating his previous words with as much
avidity as a donkey would devour thistles,
evidently was the mouthpiece of the Palmer
ston Ministry on this occasion. Be bed made
the original blunder, and it was retributive
fitness for him to swallow the leek. Per
sonally, this will not diminish his aristocratic
antipathy to the United States.
Mr. Gorman, on this same oceasion, said
that the only difficulty ho saw was whet might
arise from the short supply of cotton, but, he
said, cg the calamity from this source will not,
I believe, be en bad as some honorable gentle
men suppose." Mr. Grans.; ONE, Chancellor
of the Exchequer, who has hitherto kept out
Of this tt muddle r " reproved Sir Ramagotn for
his impertinence in speaking of the American
Government as a great republican bubble, and
added;
II I do not believe that it was the honorable
baronet's intention to make use of that expression,
and I am sorry to hear it cheered by honorable
gentlemen opposite, because I hoped it would be
tae last time that we should have any jeering tones
in this Rouse of thom tremendous calamities which
have 'alien upon that great country."
We have no doubt that Sir Joux meant
)r - hat he said. He la a baronet, whose patent
bears date 1689, and with that antiquity and
his large estates, is as much an aristocrat as
llusamm., Psi.iixnaTON, or any other of the
anti-American politician&
This much we have gained : respectful and
apologetic language from the British Ministry,
and their seconding France in not allowing
vessels captured by Southern privateers to
remain in port to be condemned as prizes.
There lo not much chance , we suareet that
,
many such prizes will turn up, but the vindi
cation of the principle is the gain.
This decided change in British policy arises
from the Ann position taken at Washington,
and from the positive and determined language
used by Mx. SEwARD in his letter of instr C.
tions to Mr- Div em, our new Minister to
Faris.
Some days ago we noticed the feet that
American ice is retailed, in Loudon, at the
rate of one cent per pound ; that American
fee, in Philadelphia, during the present season,
is retailed at exactly the same price; and that
for N pounds of ice per week (8 pounds a
day) supplied here, the present price is 56
cents, whereas it was only 40 cents last year,
which was itself a large increase upon the
price of a few years back. We inquired, what
is the canes of this difference? A corre
spondent has aunt us a reply, the gist of which
is contained in his statement, as follows
" Last year an ample supply of good ioe was ob
tained at home for rupplyieg the Philadelphia
market. This year there is almost a total failure
in the home orep—nearly all of the larger compa
nies having failed to store a single day's work of
toe daring the pest winter: led that not from any
lack of attention in taking advantage of opportn.
ultiee of storing the ice when made, but from the
gigypie last that there did not grow an article suit
able for storing during the entire whiter."
This is a semi-official excuse for supplying
Eastern ice in Philadelphia, at an increase Of
fhtrfy seven and a half per cent. upon the
prices of last year. We confess that it has
tailed to convince us. Last winter we bad a
good deal of severe frost, (an akatere recollect
what gg a good time" they bad of it,) and to
us, unskilled in the mysteries of the ice trade,
it dins seem singular that no One vueceeded
in putting in the necessary supply.
Owing to the absence of large numbers of
our population in the war, and also from tbe
exportation South being wholly cut Off, this
year's Philadelphia consumption will ho much
less than it was last year. When the demand
is thus diffinished, there is less pretext for
augmenting the price.
At all events, even under the circumstances
ototc4 by our correspondent, we must conti
nue to think that the advance of 371 per cent,
on the price of ice supplied to the public,
must give general dissatisfaction and cannot
be apologized away or explained away. As a
natural result, the public will use leas ice
than before. When the prices of all other
necessary articles are greatly reduced, we do
not understand an advance of 37.1 per cent..
on ice.

Mr. Russell's Last Letter.
Mr. RvssaLL's last letter to the London Times
is dated on the Bth of May, from Montgomery,
Alabama, and he makes a pointed allusion
to the remarkable change which was percepti
ble in the tone of Southern feeling after the
great uprising of the people of the North be
came known in that section. They had begun
to understand the difference of a con est against
a weak and imbecile Government, with nothing
but the soldiers of the regular army to depend
upon, and with nearly all those scattered in
distant garrisons and along frontier posts, and
an energetic and patriotic President whose call
to arms in defence of the Union was entbn
siaatically responded to by hundreds of thou
sands of freemen. The traitors now are ready
to declare that cc they did not intend to take
Washington," and that they only want gc to
be left alone," but after a few decisive battles,
and the rigid enforcement for some months to
come of the blockade, the power of their ter
rorismw-__ill
be almost completely broken, and
the friends of the Union in the South be once
more enabled to lift up their prostrate heads.
Mr. itiressu, with all his sympathy for tho
South, can scarcely refrain from ridiculing
their famous cotton plan for raising money,
and their silly threats not to permit any of
that tittered article to be exported to the
Northern States. He evidently has but little
faith in these foolish and impracticable
schemes.

ble poetical abilities—much greater than he
generally got credit for—and many of his
lyrics show him to have possessed fancy and
feeling, with great facility of putting them into
song. He was modest, solf-rollant, and emi
nently amiable. Had he lived, he certainly
would have taken a high position as a lyric
poet. Several of his songs have been set to
music and published, (chiefly by Biwa. &
LANs-roar, we believe, of whose kindness he
repeatedly expressed himself warmly to us on
many occasions.) and we think that a collet

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
Letter ftom "Occasional."
Correspondence of The Press.)
lifesuitioTON, June 13,1861.
Since the unfortunate affair at Big Bethel, Fa.,
has betrome the subjeot of discussion, I have been
convinced that great good will result to the sir
viee. It is a lesson not only to the iittirerilloooti
but to every men, regular and volunteer, officer
and private, who wears the American uniform.
There on be no denying that many of the officers
of the new regimenta were, at the time of their
election, inexperienced men. This cannot justly
be charged to any source but to the necessity of
the ease, the exigency that called our new levies
I. er the field, and the admitted lack of a mili
tary organization in nearly all the loyal State,.
To a great extent, when the President wee
called upon to appoint calcine to the regiments
called for by his proclamation, he was also con
trolled by these considerations. Now, however,
that experience and military knowledge are shown
to be as essential as courage itself, there is not an
afilear in command or a soldier in the ranks, who
will not feel that his own honor and bile own life
depend upon immediate, constant, and coneolen.
tins attention to the duties devolved upon him.
I buow some excellent men unmated with
splendid reenter:lU, composed of such material for
a great war as the world boa never seen, who are
lamentably deficient in military knowledge.
Upon the general Moue a aolemn responsibility
rests. Their relations to their men are alike
various and delicate. They are called npon
0 look after the health, the comfort, and the
habits of their men, and in the hour of battle are
looked up to to guide and to lead. Bow careful,
how cautious, bow studious they ought to be words
eannot desoribe. I repeat that lam happy in the
belief that the fate of Brigadier General Pierce, of
Massaohusette, and the repulse of his command,
however it may have grieved and mortified our
people, will constitute an instructive warning to
every officer in the armies of the Republic, and
will impel them to an immediate self-examination.
Every young man who is about to be called into
the army as a lieutenant, should either apply him
self to a thorough °Corte of military study, or
should be subjected by the Government to a pre
liminary training, either in garrison duty to re
tier, oidei officers, or, U is the cue with
lieutenants of the marines, to be drilled and dis.
eiplieea by a sergeant major. It must not be
forgotten in this connection, that owing to the
perjury and trouttery of the lleoeseloalets 7 whe,
left the public service in the moment of the oonn
try's utmost need, and who by leaving brought
about the very Calamities under which that
country has three been suffering, the army
and the navy had been deprived of many who had
been educated at the Government expense, and
the 0 overemeat was them thrown back upon the
people for protection. It bee happened, therefore,
that many young men were thrown into the old
regiments who had previously little military min-
Mien i but they rsig“fied an advantage over the
others who are now called into the new regiments,
and will have to depend mainly upon themselves
411 that is necessary to make every coming battle

c_cors of the army
to profit by tbe example already referred to, and
to imitate the habits of the veterans who are En

Special Despatches to " The Press .'T
In my latest despatohes, at II o'clock last night,
X informed yon.that the report of a second engage.
meat at Big Bethel had not been confirmed, and
that the rumor of a battle at Harper's Ferry wa ,
not oredited at the War Department. From both
of them poinie late intelligence le looked for
hourly, which, if reeeived, will be telegraphed to
The Press later in the evening.
It is quite evident that the troops whioh left
Washington during the latter park of lest and
first of this week, by different routes, are oonverg.

The other troops proceeded along the river road,

control of an armed soldiery; peaceful citizens
have been imprisoned without the warrant of law;
unoffending, defeneeless men . , women, and ohil
dren have been ruthleaßlY and down and mur
dered, and other unbearable Indignities have been
heaped upon your State and yourselves. To ail
th , se outrages and indignities you have submitted
with pa - ziotio forbearance,' width has only, en
couraged the perpetrators othese grievous wrongs
to attempt atilt bolder and more daring neurpa
tion.
It has been my earnest endeavor under all these
a zbarrassing oircuoistanoee to maintain the peace
of the flt. de, and avert, if poselble, from our bob
dere the desolating effects of civil war With that
object in view, I authorized Msj Gen. Price save
! rid weeks ago to arrange with Gen. Harney, com
manding the Federal forties in this State, the terms
of an agreement by which the pease of the State
might IUO preserved. Oa the 21st of May they
Dame to an undemanding, which was made public.
Tao !Stale authorities here faithfully labored to
carry out the terms of that agreement. The Fede
ral Goveromout, on the other hand, has sot only
manifested e_ strong dieapprebation of it, by the
gent dillmissal of the distinguished officer who,
on its part, entered Into it, but at once began, and
has unremittingly carried out a Wilson of hostile
opsrat OEM in utter contempt of that agreement,
and in reckless disregard of its own pledged faith
The ants have !overly portended civil war and
revolution so unmistakably that I resolved to
make one further effort to avert then dangers
from you. I therefore solicited an interview with
Brig Gen Lyon, commanding the Federal army
in Missouri It was granted, and waiving all
questions of personal and alai& dignity, "I went
to St. Louie. accompanied by Maj Gen. Price .
We had an interview with lien Lyon nod OM I
P Blair, Jr, at which I submitted to them this
proposition : That I would dliband the State Guard
and break up its organization; that I would die
arm all eomparties which ha been armed by the
State ; that I would pledge Myself Mit to attempt
to organize the militia under the military bill;
that no arms or munitions of war should be brought
Into the btate ; that I would protect all citizens
equally in all their rights, regardless of their po
litioal opinions; that I would suppress all Inoue
rectionery movements within the State; that I
would repel all attempts to invade it from what
ever quarter and by whomsoever made, and that
I would thus maintain a strict neutrality in the
present unhappy contest, and preserve the peace
of the State.
And I further proposed that I would, if owes
eery, invoke the assistenee of the United States
troops to carry out these pledgee. All this I pro
posed to do upon condition that the Federal Go
vernment would undertake to disarm the Rome
(hard, which it bee illegally armed throughout
the Mem, and pledge Stood not to a:m*2o with Its
troops any localities in the State not occupied by
them at this time.
Nothing , but the meat earnest desire to avert the
horrors of a dell war from our beloved State could
hare tempted me to prtpose these Iminilietlag
terms. They were rejected by the Federal officers
They demanded not only the disorganization and
disarming of the State militia, and the nullifi
cation or the military bill, brit they refused to dis
arm their Rome Guard, and insisted that the
Federal Government should enjoy an unrestrained
right to move and station its troops throughout the
State, whenever'and wherever that might, in the
eptizion of ha 61566111, ha necessary . either for the
protection of the loyal subjects of the Federal Go
vernment, or for repelling invasion. And they
plainly announced that it was the intention of the
Administration to take military occupation, under
these pretests, of the whole State, and reduce it,
as avowed by General Lyon himself, to the exact
condition of Maryland.
The acceptance by me of these degrading terms
would not only have sullied the honor of Missouri,
but would have aroused the indignation of every
brave citizen, end prealpitated the very millet
which it has been my aim to prevent. We refused
to accede to them and the conform:toe was broken
tips
FILLOW•CITIZSMI All our efforts toward con
ciliation have failed, and we can hope for nothing
from the justice or moderation of the agents of the
Federal Etovernmeet in this State. They are
energetically hastening the mention of their
bloody and revolutionary mammon for the Immo
ration of a civil war in your State by armed bands
of lawless invaders, for the overthrow of your State
Government, and for the subvereion of those li
berties with that Government het sought to pro
toot, and they intend to exert their whole power to
subjugate you, if possible, to the military despot
ism which has usurped the powers of the Federal
Governments,.
low, therefore, 1,. Claiborne P. Taelmort, GOMM
nor of the State of Missouri, do, in view of the
foregoing feats and by virtue of the powers vested
ha me by the donstitution and laws of this Com
monwealth, issue this my pro-lamation, calling
the militia of the State, to the number of 40.000,
into the active service of the State, for the purpose
of repelling said invasion, and for the protection
of the lives, liberty, and property of the citizens of
this State. And I earnestly exhort all good Md.
zone or Missouri to rally under the flag of their
State for the protection of their endangered homes
and firesides, and for the defence of their most
sacred rights and dearest liberties.
In issuing this my proclamation, I hold it to be
my solemn duty to remind you that Missouri is
still one of the United States, and that the cation
tive department of the State Government does
not arrogate to itself the power to disturb that
relation. That Wirer be. been wisely vested in
the Convention, which will at the proper time ex
press your sovereign will, and that, in the moan
time, it is your duly to obey all constitutional re
quithmenta of the Federal Government, Du; it is
equally my duty to adrise you that your first al
legiance is due to your own State, and that you
are under no obligation whatever to obey the
unconstitutional edicts of the military despotism
which bee Inaugurated itself at Washington, nor
to submit to the infamous and degrading sway of
its wicked ministers in this State No brave and
true hearted Miseourian will obey the one or sub
mit to the other. Rise, then, and drive out igno
ininionsly the invaders who have dared to invade
the soil which your labors have made fruitful, and
which le consecrated by your homes.

Public Reception of Hon. George M.
Dallas
THE RX-1112U8TER FOR Tat LISON ARV coanooN.
The distiogniahed Pcnasy/vanlan and Phila
delphian, George Mafia Dailaa, formerly Vies
President of the 'United States, and latterly mi
nister to the Court of St. James, received his fel
low citizens between the hours of twelve and two
o'clock, yealsrday afternoon, at hie residence, in
Walnut street, above Ninth.
Mr. Dallas, on this occasion, made use of his
psalm!, which have not been tenanted by his own
family for the past live years The rooms had a
cheerful, hospitable guise, and the ex minister, in
true republican style, did the honors himself, being
both usher and host.
Thom Who assemblol to do him honor numbered
in their ranks many of onr olden and woe( honor
ed publia oitizana. The venerable Commodore
3tewart wait one of the ffrst to take Mr. Dallas by
the Mind : and the LON Of "Old Ironsides" shared
the attentions paid to the saarooly less venerable
host.
There were clergymen, members' of the bar,
editors, anthora, and distinguished civilians, at
the reoe?tion, and to each, Mt. Pantie, standing in
his doorway, extended a cordial hand, which at
once endeared him to the visitor.
The room Wee Ming With pOrtraite of the father,
and denfteed brother of Mr. Dellea, to both of
whom he made feeling allueions In 601110 remerka
whin we print below.
Those who remember Mr. Della, rill he appeared
many yearn ago. before the remotest inkling of our
present great troubles euggeeted itself, will have
co dile .ulty in bearing in mind the diplomatist and
pattiat as he appeared yeeterday.
The same straight, handEoMe force, whioh years
and labors have not atte: - meted ; the hair, long and
white, that ourled venerably over a forehead and
taoe,rudaint tb.n a eillild'e; the eyes, email and
bright, beaming from brows not yet whitened, and
full of the eleguerme and clouding that Wl
vidualized it in times pest; and, equal with all,
manners not etudiad, but fall of native graoe, end
a kindlineas that uo recipient eon doubt.
At 1 o'clock, when the rooms were moderately
filled, Colonel James Rom Snowden addreased Mr.
Dallas on behalf of hie friende,
Re expeared to the ex minister the Universal
welcome home which all Philadelphians extended
to him, and stated that, although the times were
portentous and fall of seeming gloom, yet title
patriots were not wanting to some forward and
subscribe means, influence, and life, to the Govern
ment that had given them all. In the list of pa
triots all counted Mr. Dallae, who Mild not be
otherwise if he valued the memory of his revered
father. [dpplanee
As a patriot, unalterably attaobed to the Govern
ment and Its flag, Mr, Unowden welcomed Mr.
Dallas, and wished him a long career of usefuluese
and fame.
Mr, Dallas replied in the following remark.,
whioh he read from manuscript. They wore
spoken in a clear, impressive voice, which charmed
quite as much as the language of the address :
It is impossible for me, just returned from an
unusually prolonged reeldionoe at a foreign guest,
not to feel in the highest degree gratified by the
cordiality of your welcome. I thank you, my
fellow-townsmen, from the bottom of my heart for
We your gertereito pratiteding. It will be remota•

me; and be assured that the kindliess and esteem
which prompted te are reciprocated with warmth
towards each and all of you.

the construction given by British motormen to
the Clayton and Balwer Treaty respecting Central
America, and the impendieg dtstaimal of Mr.
Crampton by President Pierce, were fraught with
mutual irritation. These exasperating topics,
however, passed harmlessly by; and aeon an
earnest of. friendly &position signalized the
Ministry of Lord Derby, in the Pant and full ear

partnership, perhaps meditated at Hartford in
1814, was certainly and formally claimed by South
Carolina in 18.32. 3t tbat epoch there were slants
in debate; and no giant more formidable or dan
gerous than the author of this subversive doctrine.
But, gentlemen, it was overruled as perverse and
untenable. The calm Senators from this good old
Commonwealth, who were William Willtirte, of
Pittsburg, and myself, steadily insisted upon hoist
log the "Stars and Stripes" high above the
" Palmetto," and I presume would do so gull, and
the renowned citizen of Townes, who had routed
the renders at New Orleans, dispelled by the
mere show of a "Force Bilt" the delusive
Quixotism which was brave and blind then as it is
now. [Applawe ] Nor am I aware that this de

points, with an emphasis too peremptory to be
disregarded, to the course of duty which the
°ruin' guardians of your Constitution, laws, and
liberties, are bonne to pursue.

Mr. Dallas' remarks were attentively remarked,
and he continued to receive the congratulations of
his friends until a late hour in the afternoon,
