Ciiure'i.
oi Magruder yesterday thanked the troops cti
gaed in the battle, and complimented then, highly
for their steadiness and courage in t!.e field, and
their subordination and propriety of deportment
in the camp. In the course of his remarks he
si.ted that he was auihoritativcly infoiimd that
the enemy's force was 5,UUU men and five field

TIIE NORTHERN ACCOUNT.
"Many of the northern accounts suppress the
number killed, and blame their own officers for the
defeat iuto:;! of blaming the North Carolinians
and irginians.
'i bo following account is from the J'aitiuiore
Republican and is the fairest noVthtrn statcn.cn!

that the defeat of the Federal Troops has been
more Complete ami disastrous than Was at first re
ported. 'I he details, as they come to baud from
I her sources, attest that the victory of the Vir
ginians is one of uncommon brilliancy, and the
re ul.-e of the Federal troops equally disastrous
and disgraceful.
Among the regulars at tho Fortress, grout Fur

should have permitted so large a forcii to leave on
this expedition, without himself accompanying

It is stated jositively at Hampton that Col J
IS Magrnder was in command of the Confederate
i'orces, which consisted of one artillery Corps, with
one hundred ' men and six pieces, a cavalry Corps
of out' hundred, ami three bundled riflt mi n and
infantry five hundred in all. Ail. save the civ

The stream which separated them from the Con

Federal troops started in wild confusion, and Col.

which they did with deadly effect, and also "peenr

them for several miles, scrioOsJy hurrahing the

. The Yalal,gtun correspondent of the Philadel
phia Inquirer telegraphed to that paper as follownr;
"At the War Department the utmost regret is
expressed at the repulse to our arms. At present
all severely condemn the course of Gen. Fierce in
.uselessly exposing his rear to such n galling fire,
ami it is probable that that officer will meet with
severe censure. The special messenger that ar
rived here from Fortress Monroe reports that when
Gen. Butler heard of the atfiir at Bethel, lie cr
e. aimed, "T will have all tho-e rebel batteries bo

At Ls! accounts Butler had not got the batteries

COL DANIEL II. HILL.
This able and distinguished officer, the gallant
and ykiili'ul commander of the First Regiment of
North Carolina Volunteers, which ' fotliht so
t.iavely in the lucent battle at Bethel Church, ia
destined to win enviable laurels in the present
great etrngglo. If we are permitted to judge his
tutu re by ihe past, we certainly must accord to
him great renow n, for surely m, man ever laid a
stronger basis for a great and brilliant reputation.
Graduating tit West Point with honor when about
i ho age of twenty-two, he entered ihe U. 8. Army
.md remained in it until after the elope of tho
Mexican War. He was in the army under Gen.
.Scott from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico, and
greatly distinguished hiuipelf in some of the hard
fought battles of that campaign. At the storming
of Chepultepfc he was the aecond man on the
American Hide that mounted tho ramparta. For
his meritorious services in thisj war he was promo
ted to tho rank of .Major which ho afterward re
signed to i.eeept the chair of Mathcmutics in Da
vnlsoii ( 'ollege. N. ('.
He discharged the duties of hi new position
with great Zealand fidelity. Notwithstanding tho
arduous labors that now devolved on him, he found
time to write and have published a largo work on
Algebra, which was favorably received. This
work excited some remark at the time, on account
of the iutr nso Southern piri: which breathes ia
s line of ir problems.
In 18"8 when the North Carolina Military
Institute w i established at Charlotte, Col. Hill
w. s appointed to the first place iu. its Faculty, ami
b vottd himself with hii accustomed energy -and
ability to the instruction of young soldiers for the
Old North State. .
('pot, the commencement of hostilities between
Abraham Lincoln and the ('onfe'lcri'e State, he
was appmuted by Gov. Kills to the command of
the Camp of Instruction at Raleigh. When the
First Regiment of North Carolitfa Vol tin teen was
organized, he was' almost unanimously elected its
Colonel.
