as 1,100. Their loss in killed and wounded must be nearly 200. Our loss is one killed and three wounded. The fatal case was that of a North Carolinian who volunteered to fire one of the houses behind which they were stationed. He started from the breastwork to accomplish it, but was shot in the head. He died this morning in the hospital. The wounded are Harry Shook, of Richmond, of Brown's battery, shot in the wrist; John Werth, of Richmond, of the same battery, shot in the leg, and Lieut. Hudnall, of the same battery, shot in the foot. None of the wounds are serious. The Louisiana Regiment arrived about one hour after the fight was over. They are a fine-looking set of fellows. As there was force enough at Old Point to send up to Bethel and surround us, we took up the line of march, and came up to Yorktown, where we now are. I hear to-day that troops from Old Point are now marching up to attack us, but cannot say whether it is so or not. --Richmond Despatch, (Extra,) June

Richmond, of Brown's Battery, shot in the wrist; John Werth, of Richmond, of the same battery, shot in the leg, and Lieutenant Hudnall, of the same battery, shot in the foot. None of the wounds are serious. A Louisiana regiment arrived about one commended. A detachment of fifteen cadets from the North Carolina Military Institute defended the howitzers under Lieutenant Hudnall, and acted with great coolness and determination. I cannot speak in too high terms of my two field officers, Lier as an artillerist in any country, and his men displayed the utmost skill and coolness. The left howitzer, under Lieutenant Hudnall, being nearest my works, came under my special notice. Their names are as follows: Lieutenant Hudnall, commandiLieutenant Hudnall, commanding, wounded; Sergeant S. B. Hughes, G. H. Pendleton, R. P. Pleasants, William M. Caldwell, George W.

with those participating in the fight. They deserve equally the thanks of the country. In fact, it is the most trying ordeal to which soldiers can be subjected, to receive a fire which their orders forbid them to return. Had a single company left its post our works would have been exposed, and the constancy and discipline of the unengaged companies cannot be too highly commended. A detachment of fifteen cadets from the North Carolina Military Institute defended the howitzer under Lieutenant Hudnall, and acted with great coolness and determination. The Confederates had in all 1,200 men in the action. The enemy had the regiments of Colonel Duryea (Zouaves), Colonel Carr, Colonel Allen, Colonel Bendix, and Colonel Winthrop (Massachusetts), from Old Point Comfort, and five companies of Phelp's Regiment, from Newport News. We had never more than 300 actively engaged at any one time. The Confederate loss was eleven wounded—of these one mortally. The enemy must have lost som

shell. At 2 o'clock the enemy's fire had nearly ceased, and, after a fight of four hours and a half, he began to retire. He was pursue by the cavalry to the bridge leading to Hampton, which, in his fright, he burnt after passing. The Number of killed and wounded. On our side, one man killed, (he died here last night,) and two others (one badly) wounded. In all, there were eleven only wounded, and most of them, I think, slightly, I saw the worst cases. Our brave friend Hudnall, of the Howitzer Battery, was slightly wounded in his foot. I saw him last night, and he was doing well. Several of the Howitzers were among the wounded, and I learn bear their wounds bravely. Without them, we would probably have been whipped. Of the killed of the enemy, there is necessarily much uncertainty. The general impression is, they lost about 200, about 50 of these killed. I think among the slain were two Captains and a Sergeant of the third New York Regiment. number

bers of the Howitzer corps: From a multitude of sources I learn of the calm, cool, determined courage of a little group of our Richmond boys. I beg you will allow a place in your columns for an especial and individual mention of them, who so courageously and so honorably acquitted themselves in the heat of the battle at Bethel Church. Col. Hill, of the North Carolina Regiment, can sustain many in his testimony to their gallant stand in the most exposed position, and under the heaviest cannonading during the engagement. Lieut Hudnall, Geo. Hobson, John Werth, John West, Henry Shook, Geo. Hughes, Sergeant B. Hughes, Frank Botts, John Langhorne, L. W. Timberlake, William McCarthy, William Caldwell, Reuben Pleasants, W. R. Hutcheson, S. Pendleton, and last, though not least, must I make mention of the youngest son of the late Dr. Micajah Clark, whose memory lives so freshly greet, in the hearts of thousands of our citizens. May the God of Jacob bless our Howitzer boys. Amicus.

First Market, was arrested for making an unprovoked assault upon a lad named Emmit Taylor. The boy told a straightforward story; after which, the Mayor asked Greenberry if he had anything to say. "Yesh," he replied; "dem boy come dere every time, to me trouble. I old man. I say leetle boy, you go home; vat you vant from me? Den I smack him some leetle, and he throw at me dese rock." Simon here exhibited a small pebble; but another witness proved that he was clearly the aggressor, and the Mayor chalked down a fine of $10 for disorderly behavior in the market. The decision affected Mr. Greenberry deeply — almost to tears — and he withdrew from the scene, absorbed in his own reflections. William Pardue, charged with assaulting and beating Morris Johnson, was committed in default of security to keep the peace. A fine of $1 was imposed upon Wright & Hudnall for permitting a quantity of straw to be deposited on Main street, thereby creating what the law calls an obstructio
