' BSJuThe comments of the. Northern pres on the
battle of Great Bethel, (says tbe Richmond Whip,) are
exceedingly rich; That affair bis thrown (he whole
Yankee nation Into a state of confusiop. Their pro
posed promenade through the Sooth is found to be not
exactly tbe thing they imsgined. With jnasked bat
terries of rifled canoon attending them at every torn
of tbe road, the pleasures of the excursion are very
much abated. Criminations of each other and recrim
inations result from tboir first step, and tske tbe plsoe
of their shouts over expected victories. Gen. DatWi
official report discloses bis vast, comprehensive and
genuioe Yankee scheme for surprising Little Bethel, tbe
sad blunder of bis own regiments firing into each other.
and tbe still sadder eatattropbe of bisinvincibles f&!.
Ing into their own trap, and suffering a surprise and
disastrous defeat. He puts, of course, tbe best face
be can, on hie rout, and by waj of diminishing the ex
tent of bis loss only rpeaks of the killed and wounded
that were carried off. But even oa this point, be is
condradicted by all tHe Nortbarn correspondents, who
speakof 280 killed and wounded, who were brought
to tbe Fortress. Of the lare number buried on tbe
field by our men, be Is silent.
It is reported by the Northern papers, that when
the news of the defest reached blm. h swore like a
genuine Puritan, that be would not eat breakfast till
be had taken the batterj and rooted tbe Rebels. And
tbe messenger, who bore hi dispatch to Washington,
felt authorised to announce that no doubt tbe enemy
bad already been rooted and imprisoned. Tbe nswa
bas not ye reached this city, and we doubt if even
Gen. Magruder bas beard a word of it!! .
Tbe'New York papers of the 18th the oUy afier the
first astounding news reached them, were making ef
fort! to rally from tbe effects of tbe overwhelming In
tcHgeooe. 8om of them aSect to believe that the
first report were gross! exaggerated, and that tbe
real truth of the matter was that 1,000 of the Rebels I
bad keen captured. (t hers pretend that It was a mere
affal of out-poet;- that the only lost 14 during the
day, of whlea mt were killed la tbe night attack by
by their owa mea. Others, however, admit "tbe great
disaster that bas. befallen our armsand trace it to
the fatal and wide spread blunder ut appointing In
competcot civilian to high command. Bl)r. at.4
Pierce were both ranting demagogues who knew
nothing abcAit war, and should be forthwith sent back
to MassaehoseU to their original vocation-of petti-'"Kg0!-
And they, It Is said, make only one of many
similar instance. Several other of the Yankee divi
sions are similarly officered, and unless a change is
speedily made, other and like disaster are imminent.
But we leav to the Yankees themselves the settle
ment of their own difficulties.
The articles from the English press are significant.
They relate mainly to the blockade aod a correspon
dence on that subject between Seward and Lord Lyon.

tween tbe two nations from' Ibem. The general tone
of the press is that the blockade is not efficient, and
ought not lo be respected. We Lesr that this matter
is in a way of being speedily tested b Lord Lyons; and
t is not impossible that Seward will, be compelled to
abandon all his positions in less than thirty days.
The, article frpm the Lord Palmerston's organ
very distinctly declares that our independence will be
recognised sooner than M. Thouvenel intimated; and
we may add, than we desire. Without recognition
the complication between the Yankee and foreign
power will be aggravated, and the probabilities of
open rupture greatly increased. Unless those Powers
are willing to renounce thi-ir trade and tbeir tights
umle r treaty, the present blockade must eventuate in
war.' '''"'''''"
Ixcidknts of Tin Fjoiit. After the battle, at
Bethel, number of onr men went over and explored the
ground occupied by the Yankees during the engage-
Mttfnt. Many sickening tights of the dead and dying
were prevnjted. Just where one of the enemy's can
non bad bcnatationed, aod upon which Hie snot from
one rifled cannon played with uch deadly effect, Dr.
nm. K. vaoguam, oi nampion, was attracted to a
pot in the wood by the groans of some one Jo great
agony. Upon going to the place, he found a man tying
iu the grass, suffering from a most frightful wound,
one of his legs having bet-n shot entirely off near the
thigh. What can 1 do for you my friend ?" asked
the Doctor, "as: I suppose we can call each other,!
friemla now I." "I will be extremely thankful for any
ssMsUrice you can render," said the suffering mau.
"If you do any thing at all," he continued, "it will
be more than those with whom I have been fight
ing have done." ;;They promised me everything
before my enlistment, but now they Juive run off and
loll roe here to die." The mao wa remuveJ by our
knnias near b. tha hl.cdinir of tbe artery
rst begroes, but had met with no opportunity to dis
pose of them. 4 The mother wss requested to forward
sohie funds until the writer' could realise something
frpmjbis horses and negroes, when the would be re
paid with Interest-
Another, letter wa penned in a beautiful, delicate
style; It was from a sister to a brother. It breath-d
the moat ardent nffection, and enjoined upon bim to
kill A thoussi d slave breeders if possible, and by all
means to avenge the death of. the handsome sn l brave
young Elmer Ellsworth. "' .
Immediately after the discbarge from one of our
howitzers, an efficer of evident high rnk, and well
mounted, was seen to reel in Iks sJJI, and filling
forward, he clasped bis linn'' reck to maintain bu
position. In-taully n half dozen soldiers surrouuJuJ
tho horse and ha was conducted back to tbe liou-e of
Mr. Thomas Crandatl. Mr. Crsndall was at home,
aod enquired tbe off.cer' name, but she was not per
mitted U learn it. Several of hi men crowded aroun I
to nune him, and much coufuiioo and ditreo were
manifested. He died at the house of Mr. Cr-inIill
about two hour aft-r being brought there, and was
from thence conveyed te Newport News Mrs. Crsndall's
statement is confirmed by Mr. Lewi Davis, a most re
epectable old gentleman residing in the neighborhood,
who witnessed the battle from an elevated point, and
saw this officer when be reeled in bis sadJie and fell
over upon hi horse's neck.
Many of the Yaukee troop were frightfully mangled.
An eye-witness informs ns lUt be vieit d aepot wtiere

where many of them bad taken refuge against the

Gen. Magruder and Col. D. II. Hill, displayed tbe
most Consummate bravery, and the men. firel by such
examples, fought with desperation.
rTbe Zouaves of Col. Duryea came up to the aeea
of action, a did. Ellsworth' when they entered Alex
andria, yelling bke wild beasts, hoping thereby to in
timidate brave Southern hearts, but without effect.
Our men quietly and calmly awaited tbeir approach,
trusting to their own strong arms, aod leaving the re-
ult to the God of battle.
At w have aaid before, tbe victory is one of the
most brilliant recorded In history, ft even exceed
that of Gen. Jckont at New Orleans.
Tbe day on which tbe battle wa fought, our Infor
mant states, wa oo of the loveliest he ever witness
ed. Not a speck wa to be seen in the blue skies over
bead, and a more delightful temperature was never
voucbssfed to patriot hearts.
- Col. Magruder placed tbe men in position, and with
great coolness weot aroood, delivering to each com
pany a few spirited remarks- To one he closcd with
the encouraging language of the Rev. Mr. Adams, a
Rptit minister, who had preached to the troops at
Bethel Church the night previous,, saying, "God i
with u, and victory Is sure." To another, Col. Ma
gruder said, in the language of tbe patriot Garibaldi,
"God never made a more beautiful day for men to die
in defence cf their (country." And lastly, Colonel
Magruder addressed the Hampton Brigade, -.cum
manded by Msjor iJjiJ.X.ary..andtera-few
spirited remarks, c!oed by telling them that Ifampto
niana had the strongest of incentives to, nervo their
strong arm in the struggle, "for they bad deep anl
grievou wrong of their own U atenre."
An officer from Fortrees Monroe waited upon Gen.
Magruder at Yorktown, Wcdneday, under a flsg of
truce, and requested that Captain or Co!.- David W.
WaMrop be exchanged for some prisoners now in the
banls of the Yankees;,, The officers in command had
been told by the cowardly Zouaves who fled in such
wild confunion when Capt. W. fell, that he was but
slightly wounded. Tbe Yankee messenger appeared
to be greatly astonished when told that Capt. W, fell
kt the crack of the rifle, nnd never spoke afterwanjsr
A request wa the,n made that the Yankee troops be,
allowed to dwititer the body, and n'so tbat the unfor
tunate man's nword and watch be delivered, that they
tuirhtbe restored to bis family. The was officer iofurm
edthat the sword had been removed bv the rnilant sol
dier whoe rifle felled Capt. Wardropbut that every
enon wouia oe maue to restore it. The watch wti
immediately delivered over.
This officer, we learn, stated that at the roll call
Tuesday forenoon, it was ascertained that there were
604 missing. One hundred and twenty-eight of this
number were known to be dead, and, a great many
of the missing would yet return to camp.

cussed. Effort were made to prohibit it altorether.
But they were steadily opposed by the New EarUod
States, who were coining mony io Ike traffic of humaa

SPECIAL PROVIDENCES. .
Cromwell, ia all bU missives to Parliament, -recounting
hi victories, took especial pains to ascriba
them to tbe special interposition of Providence. Many
or the incident at the battle of Bethel arc well ealcw
lated to increase the faith or those, who, like old Noll,
believe in special ProTidecce. The mere fact that
five thousand men, with cannons and rifles and muskets
or tb a most improved style, for four hoar were firing ,
on th rebel without killing but an man, of Itself ap
proximates the miraculous. The fact ia aot accounted
for by alleging that the Yankees are bad shots: that
they aimed too high or aimed too low. They did botbl -very
probably; but certain It is, they shot ia tha
midst of our ranks ploughed up tbe laod ia front
and rear, and killed mule and horses, aoder the sad
dle and among the men. , A Howitzer ioforaa us that
while loading-one gun which took about a srhrate
five rifle or inns Het balls struck the cannon, and twa
of them struck the end of tha eBaor - iUr
