A Relic.

--Among the numerous articles secured by the Virginia volunteers from the fleeing braggarts at the battle of Great Bethel, we have been shown a child's history of the United States, on the fly-leaf of which appears the following inscription:

‘ "Mr Benjamin

Greens Book

3. Regiment Knew York"

Over the coat of arms of Virginia, in the same book, is written in pencil, that "so must all rebels Di." We copy verbatim et literatim. The book was taken from a haversack picked up on the battle ground, soon after the engagement, and was evidently the property of Benjamin Green, of the 3d Regiment New York volunteers.
