"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! we have seen.

'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.

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.

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.
