Considering themselves as strict'y an eclesiasticalbody, thoy thought it more consonant with their character at christians, to dcclino the dis eussiou and adoption of resolutions, having even a quasi political character ; than to turn a religious Convention into a politi cal meeting. Wc ventura to say that tho members of tho Convention separated with moro of the fueling of "Peace on earth and good will towards men, ' than if they had been heated by u political discussion. In tho Pennsylvania Convention uo at tempt to introduco any other except prop er and regular religious and Diocesan business was made. BSy Governor Curtiu has tendered to tho lion. Wm. M. Meredith, of Philadel phia, tho place of Attorney General of the Stato, inado vacant by tho resignation of Mr. Purviancc, and tho offer has been ao ccptcd. a"" Mr. Lovejoy, member of Congress frolu Illinoiso, is accused of displaying a great deal of war patriotism and readiness w'fight, uutil ho was rejected for colonel of a regiment, when he concluded that his was in tho civil service. jt& Two pretty girls, Catharine Quirk and Itubecca Ellcnstcin, ran away from tlicir parcutJ and liomcs in Xow l'ork,and joined tbo Garibaldi regiment as vivau dierj. Thoy were followed, detcetcd, and CUI hoiiif. , Pomisylvauia has now twenty-niuo regiments in the scrvico of tho United Stiitea, of wliieh thirteen aro for tlireo months and sixteen for thrco years, if their ic'rviccs should be so long required there. BSyJudco Black, lato Secretary of Stato, who has returned to Washington from Wheatlaud, says that Es-l'rciidout Buchanau is slowly recovering from his ieVcro siekucsa. 'fttaTThc Hon. David Taggart, formcr lySpcakcr of tho Pcnnsylvnuia Senate, andjlato a caudidato for republican nom ination for Governor, Las been appointed wo a'Payinaster in the Army. 'Tew names are cherished moro proudly by "Old Wcstministcrs' than that ofWilliam Pukeney, Earl of Bath, whose career, till he accepted the peerage, wad onoof almost unexampled brilliancy. Ho was an admirable scholar, a great debater, perhaps the greatest of his day aud the untiring opponent of Sir Kobcrt Walpolc, and the man to whom, more than any one else, tho final overthrow of that rcmarka Mo minister is due. In connection with their antagonism is a curious and amusing story, not "gencraly known,' During a fierce debato in tue House ot uommons Walpolo disputed tho correctness of a quo tation from Horace, which Pultcney had introduced, Pultcney insisted upon the accuracy of his version, and wagered HVal pole a guinea thathc was right. Walpolc Accepted the bet ; a Uoracc was sent for from the library, and, pendiug the settle xnent of thid momentous question, it is said that the debato was suspended, and party Ychemcnco allayed. On rcfering to tho passage, Pultcney's memory was proved ?o have served him best; whereupon Walpolo tossed a guinea to him acrosscd tho treas ury bench. This guinea, of tLo dato 1740, thu year beforo AValpolc's administration was broken up "13 preesrved in the coin room of the British Museum, accompanied with tho following note in Pultcney's hand writing : "This guinea I desiro may bo kept as a heirloom. It was won of Sir Robert Walpole, in tho House of Commons, hVasserting the verso in Horace to bo ftuHi pallcsccre cutycC) whereas I had the -wngcr of a guinea that it was Nuth pull tsccrculpa, lie sent for tho book, aud, ongoing convinced that ho had lost, gave jco'this guinea. I told him that I could taVo tho monoy without any blush on my fiidofW believed it was the only money he cvr gave in that house where the giver and receiver ought not equally blush.

GREAT LOSS ON THE REBEL SIDE LIST OF KILLED J- WOUNDED. Baltimore, Juno 11, 10 o'clock, A. 31. News lias just been received hero by a boat from Old Point, bringing a report of an engagement having taken placo between two regiments of Federal troops, under General Piorco, and a largo body of llebel troopa, ou Sunday last,uiiic miles from Norfolk. Tho Federal troops aro reported as Lav ing been defeated, with a los3 of ono hun dred killed and wounded. JIany of the enemy were also killed. The rumors at this time aro conflicting. ANOTHER REPORT. Baltimore, Juna 11. Tho steamer from Old Point Comfort has arrived with the following intelligence, dated at For tress Monrcc last evening. This has been an exciting and sorrow ful day at old Point Comfort. Gou. Butler having learned that tho reb els wero forming an entrenched camp with strong batteries, at Great Bethel, nine miles from Hampton, on tho Torktowu road, ho deemed it necessary to dislodge them. Accordingly ,movenicuts wero made last night, from Fortress 3Ionroo and Newport News. About miduight Col. Duryca's Zouaves and Col. Townscnd's Albany regiment crossed tho river at Ilampton by means of tix largo battcaux, manned by the Naval Brigade, and took up tho line of 3Iarch, Tho former wero some two miles iu ad vance of the latter. At tho samo time, Col. Bonedix's Regi ment and a detachment of tho Vermont and 3Iaasachusctts regiments, at Newport News, moved forward to form a junction with tho regiments from Fortress 3Ionroo, at Little Bethel at ubout half way between Hampton and Great Bethel. '1 ho Zouaves passed Little Bethel at about 4 o'clock P. 31. Bencdix's regiment arrived next aud took position at tho in tcrscction of tho roads. Not understand ing tho signal, tho Zouavo regiment in tho darkness of tho morning fired upon Col. Townscnd's column, marching in close or der and led by Lieut. Butler, son of Gen. Butler, and also his aid, with two pieces of artillery Other accounts say that Col. Towscnd's regiment fired fir.-t. At all events, tho fire of tho Albany regiment was harmlcss,wbilc that ofthe Germans was fatal, killin man aud fatally wounding two othcrs,with several slight casualties Tho Albany regiment being back of the Germans discovered frcm tho accoutre mcnts left on the field that the supposed enemy was a friend. They had in tho mcantimo fired nine rounds with small arms and a field piece. Tho Zouaves hearing tho firo had turned and tired also upon the Albany boys. At daybreak Col, Allen's and Col Carr'a Regiments moved from tho rear o tho Fortress to support tho main body. The mistake at Little Bethel having been ascertained ,tho btiildinga were burned .and a Major with two prominent Secessionists named Livery and Whiting, wero made prisoners Tho troops then advanced upon Groat Bcthtl m tho following order tho Zou avces,Col. Bendcr,Lieut. Col. Washburne Uol. Allen and Uol. uarr. At that point our regiments wero formed and successive ly endeavored to take a largo masked batte ry of tho secessionists. Tho effort was futile, our thrco small pieces of Artillery not being ablo to cope with tho heavy rilled cannon of tho enemy according to somo accounts thirty iu num ber. Tho rebel battery was so completely masked that no men could bo seen, but tho flashes of tho cuns only. Thcro were probably less than 1000 men behind tho battory ot tuo rebels. A well concerted movement might havo ! secured tho position, but Brigadier Gen.' Picreo, who commanded tho expedition, soil which bred them j that they long for seemed to havo lost his proseneo of mind, 'cooler skies and fewer mosquitoes than ae and tho Troy Regiment stood an hour cx-1 company an Alabama August, and sug- posed to a galling firo. An order to re treat was at length given, but at that mo ment Lieut. Grcblo, of tho U. S. Army, and in command of tho Artillery, was struck by a cannon ball aud instantly killed, He had spiked his gun and was gallantly endeavoring to withdraw his command. ' Capt, Geo, W WiUon of tho Troy Reg- iment, after tho order to retreat, took possession of tho gun, and, with Quarter master 3IcArtbur, brought it ou tho field, with the corpso of tho beloved Lieutenant. They brought them to tho fortress this evening. Thoro aro probably 25 killed and 100 wounded. Lieut. Butler deserves tho greatest cred it for bringing off tho killed and wounded. Several of tho latter aro now in tho hos pital here. It should havo been stated that Col. McChcsney's regiment formed a reserve, and that Col. Ilawkin's regiment moved from Nowport News during tho day. Tho armed vessels went up to Newport News, excepting tho Cumberland, All tho regi mcnts aro now probably at their former quarters, Much indignation is manifested against Brigadier General Pierce. General But ler has been ubquitious, doing all in his power to save our men and tho honor of our cause. Another Account Fortress 3Ionroe, Juno 10. Tho contest at Great Bethel was moro sevcro than was at first appprehended. The en emy were so strongly entrenchod in and protected by battcrios that, after moro than two hours and a half severe fighting, our amunition given out, wo were obliged to fall back, which wo did in perfect order. The details, as near as can be in tho confusion ascertained, aro as follows : "Brigadier General Pierce, with tho First, Second and Third New York, from this post, joined with detachments from Newport News from tho Fourth 3Ia?saehu- setts, First Vermont and Seventh, (Colonel Bendixs,)and ninth, (Colonel Ilawkin's,) of New York, with two light field-pieces under Lieutenant Grcblo and a squad of regulars, drovo iu tho enemy, numbering four thousand men, and soon came on their position, protected by the firo of sis heavy batteries, mounted with six and twelvo pound howitzers and heavy rilled cannon. Tho engagement immediately becamo warm the guns under Lieutenant Greblc return ing tho iutensely hot fire from tho enemy's battery. "After somo tirno Gondral Pierce gave tho order to charge on tho battery, and Colonel Duryea's Zouaves gallantly march ed in quick time, under a scorching firo, up to near the ramparts of tho battery, when a broad ditch intervened, which could not be passed, when tho gallant lads fell back. "Col. Townscnd's regiment also went nearly to tho battery, but, meeting tho samo obstruction, were also ccmpclled to retire. ''After over two hours' hot contest, tho amunition for tho field pieces and tho mus kets gave out, and tha order was given to retire, which was effected in perfect order and safety. "Want of timo prevents tho details. Wo lament tho loss of Lieut Grcblo of the United States Artilcry, ono of the most brave, gallant and chivalrous officers in tho service, who died bravely at his gun, from a cannon shot, which struck him in tho forehead, killing him instantly. "Our loss iu killed and wounded is about seventy-fivo, among tho latter Cap tain KiIpatrick,of tho Zouaves, was shot in the leg. "Lieutenant Dumont, Company B of tho same regiment, had a bayonet wound in tho leg, most serious, and others slightly wounded. "Tho enemy's loss was heavy. Every one on our side behaved most bravely, and did their duty." Colonel Bondix captured two rebels in the act of firing ou his men, Guerilla fash ion. Ho fired tho houso, and sent tho pris oners to -General Butler, nt Hampton, where ho was receiving reports, forwarding re-enforcements, and giving orders. The enemy numbered between thrco and five thousand. Their battery had twonty guns. Somo of them tho Whitcworth guu. Tho battlo raged thrco hours. Our men rctirad only when it becamo evident tint the enemy's battery could not bo carried unless supported by artillery. Thoy re tired iu good order, and the enemy was in no condition to pursue. Tho following aro among the wounded at tho Big Bethel battlo : S. F. Southern, Company 11, Fourth Massachusetts Regiment ; seriously in tho lung. John Dann, Company II, Duryca's Reg iment, shot in the arm. John Conway do., shot in tho leg, not bad. C, Ghent, Company K, Col. Bondix, shot in the left chest; seriously. tttT Jeff. Davis and his cabinet, are re ported as having taken leavo of 3Iontgom cry, and removed their headquarters to Riuhmond. Davis is to tako command of the rebel army in person. Tho Slontsom- cry papers aro indignant at tho removal of tho Confsderato Capital to Richmond. Tho Mall goes so far as to intiinato that tho President and Cabinet aro above tho - gests that if thero bo Southern men in tho - Confederate States who cannot enduro hot weather, and who desire to bo moreconvc- nicntly located to Saratoga and Niagara, ( they ought to remove permanently within thu rango of tho smell of frco ncgrodoin as soon as possible Tho Mail forgets that it was always a Southern wcakucss to come North,
