(STTho Protestant Episcopal Conven
tion at Burlington,N. J , refused by a voto
of 08 to 8 to tako up a resolution on the
"Stato of tho Country." 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.

lySpcakcr of tho Pcnnsylvnuia Senate,
andjlato a caudidato for republican nom

'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. This
guinea I hope will prove to my posterity
the use of knowing Jatin, and encourage
them in their learnto",' London lllus

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.
