One of our men was killed and one or two woUndcd. Their shot Weto well ranged, but Were aimed too high, or a good many would have been kilted. They were cobeealed in the bush, and all we had to do was to retreat as well as We could, in the confusion for cult ranks Wifre broken and a good many were frightened, in the darkness and suddennss of the charge, most of ns gave them a round or two b?fyra leaving, and then re treateef'in as "good ordbf as we could. This was before we arrived at the battle ground called “Bethel Church.’’ "VVe. were immedi ately drawn up in line of battle, preparatory to making the attack. One regiment of Zouaves, one from Troy, N. Y., and our own regiment were to take the lead and open the fight. We hod two pieces of cannon. These were placed in line and the fire commenced. The Zouaves were the first to commence, by going through the woods and taking them in flank. Our own regiment was to advance in front.- We were not long in waiting, as the order was given to forward and we marched, to within not more than 2bo yards of the enemy’s breast work. The enemy bad a great advantage over us by having a strong breast work in front, and a deep ravine and Woods on the’ other side.

The evacuation of Harper’s Ferity, reported! yesterday and confirmed to day, is a significant co'nfessio'B of weakness on the part of the reb els..

Harper’s Ferry in onr-possession, we are sure of no hostile movement' beyond the mountains; t_he trade with the great West, through one of its busiest channels, will, he revived, and the dissatisfied residents' of Baltimore relieved of one ground of discontent. , Whither the rebel forces have retreated is as yet uncertain; if they should not bo seriously demoralized on the way; they may attempt to effect a junction with Beauregard at Manassas Gap: and that will bring a large part of the southern army within easy reach of the loyal troops of the Washington line. Many suppose in that event that they will offer battle, either marching towards Alexandria, or inviting an assault from the loyal side. Their case is con fessed, by the abandonment of Harper’s Ferry, to be a desperate one, and unless they retrieve it by a success at the Junction, they will be ob liged to move speedily towards Richmond. Al ready the troops collected at that place are de ficient in supplies and disabled by sickness.— A letter in the .Richmond Despatch of June 3d reports that the sonthern men are breaking down under the labor of digging trenches, and loudly call for the assistance -of negroes. “ I really believe,” says the writer, “ if this slate Of things continues ten days there will be at least one-fifth of the force here on the sick list ob dead, for we iave.no. rjal hospitSlihere, and medicine is as scarce" in the surgical depart ment as money is in the camp.

On thir-veby day some forty sick hdvc heeh Sept to Culpoppei: Court iiouse.” In Ibis' condition of affairs it is not probable that the rebeh are prepared either for an advance or fib attack; A southern getitieriian with whom Wo have converced, gives it as his opinion that Davis means to make one earnest and desperate effort at Manassas. His cause is on its last legs, and unless he puts forth a bold stroke now, it is gone. A partial success, even, would stay the rapidity of its decline. A defeat would furnish him a basis for some kind of negotiation, or for complete withdrawal - into the eXtremer South. Be this as it may, he is clearly unable to protract the controversy through a longer period of “ masterly inactivity.” , The men un der bis command are l not strengthened, hat weakened by the lapse of time; their army sup plies diminishas tho days lengthen; and they must be either inspirited by actual hostilities, dr allowed to move back towards their homes. \Ve cannot suppose that Davis will have the au dacity to assail the lines stretched out about \Vashingtott, but we should not be surprised to hear, at any hour, of a decisive engagement in the Vicinity.— keening Post. .
