EEGIMEXT COLOXEL HILL'S) IS TEE FI GET I 1 F2GHTIXG EXPECTED 1 1 AO- AC. A decisive battle has .been fought at Bethel Church, Va., ten miles above Hampton. The Petersburg Express gives the following account r;hich is believed to be in the main correct : It appears that on Friday last, General J. Bankhead Magruder, of the Confederate Army, who has been at his headquarters in Yorktown, for some time past, received further informa tion of the continued depredations of the Yan kee hirelings, who under General B. F. Butler, have squatted at Hampton and Newport News. He resolved to proceed immediately in the di rection of the localities occupied by the mer cenaries, and check the lawless proceedings of their marauding parties, or at least confine them to more circumscribed limits. Our forces detailed for this mission, we are informed, conaisted of some six, or more com panies of the First North Carolina Regiment, Cel. D. II. Hill, a portion of the Richmond Howitzers, under Capt. Shields, and two com panies of Cavalry one from the county of Charles City, and the other from Nottoway county. The column moved on as far as a point near the dividing line between Elizabeth City and York counties, and in the immediate vicinity of the Bethel Church. This is dis tant about six miles from Newport News, and nine from Hampton. Our troops were herehalt cd, and proceeded to entrench themselves by throwing up slight earth works. They reached that point sometime during Saturday morn - ( ing, and remained in undisturbed possession of, having sent out strong detachments of Cav airy on scouting duty. Monday morning about seven o clock, as was stated to our informant, a man who it is said had deserted from our army and had con cealed himself somewhere in the forest between Bethel Church and Newport News, came into camp, regretting his recreancy, and informing our officers that the Yankee forces had struck their tents at Newport News, and were ad vancing in a column of four or five thousand strong. This intelligence was received by our officer with some doubt, but they resolved to be on the alert, and give the infamous despoilers of our property and invaders of our soil, as hot a reception as rifle, musket and grape shot could extend. The deserter's information proved to be cor rect, for a few minutes bafore 8 o'clock our scouts wera driven in aid shortly after our pickets were fired upon. Presently the in vading hirelings made their appearance, and it was plainly to be seen that t'.cy had both in fantry and artillery, but no cavahy were visi ble. As soon as they approached n ilhin ranee f onr guns, the gallant Carolinians and Vir ginians opened upon them, and poured into their ranks a galiir.r fire. Thev stood tb io! r ground (or a fev, could, but their rai.Tites doing the bst they guns hot t ill went wide of their lii'T Our troons. ana, scarcity a i; ir.ay be 'j.'-ot. u;' here to renrark, tha: cur troons hi.d beinj: in p. 1 docid 31 ad va nta try position. skirt of forest, bordering on the edge of a mill-pond. The Yankees were also surrounded by trees, but mora widely scat tered than ours, and not afiording half the protection. The tiring was continued on both sides un til y o'clock, our troops nn'ntain'ng a deadly lire on the Yankees from behind the trees and in the thick undergrowth around, while the enemy could neither dodgo our balls, or caure their shot to reach us with effect. The work finally became too hot for the Yankee scoun drels, and they foil back, in considerable dis order and confusion. The enemy next maue an effort to flank our men by a circuitous reute, which occupied some thirty minutes. Ia the meantime, the Confederate troops betook themselves to their temporary entrenchments and cooiiv awaited the approach of the hirelings. At" half-past nine they again appeared in view, but in their march had become involved in a thick morass, from which they found it impossible to ad vance or retreat. The Confederate forces now had the scoun drels just where they desired, and from be hind their temporary entrenchments about the Iiethel Church, poured a most deadly fire into their ranks. They caught it right left, and in fron and finally scrambling out of the mo rass, fled in the utmost disorder and confusion, ail attempts to rally them by one or two offi cers, being utterly in vain. Our informant states, that the flight was perfectly wild, and betrayed a consternation and dismay, more characteristic of a herd of buffaloes when sud denly surprised by a band of Indian hunters than brave and chivalrous Yankees, led on by the bold and redoubtable Gen. Picayune alias B. F. Butler. They were hotly pursed by the gallant Firsts Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers, while the Richmond Howitzers, poured grape and canister into the rear of the fleeing New York rowdies. Our cavalry continued the chase, and pursued the miserably frightened demons on the Sawyer Swamp road, and through the woods, to New Market Bridge, which is with in two and a half miles of Hampton. Not knowing the strengtli of their forces at Hamp ton, tne cnase was nere abandoned and the pursuers returned. It is said that the cowardty scamps before running, quickly divt-sted themselves of knap sacks, canteens, haversacks, sidearms and mus kets, and some even threw away their coats and caps, determining, like drowning men, that nothing should encumber their per sons or impede their progress in the race fer life which lay before them. We have been unable to ascertain the ex act number of killed, but no one "with whom we have conversed estimates it at less-than 150, while many think it must have reached 300. There were also a great many wounded. One gentleman counted over "twenty dead bodies aad many wounded in a small patch of woods, and to use his own expression, says they were lyingabout dead like sheep, in every direction to which the eye was turned. Many of the wounded were left on theOeld by the enemy, and were brought into our camp, where our soldiers humanely "ministered to their wants. The enemy was busy all the time car rying off the dead and wounded, from the outskirts of their ranks, and we shall have to await their accounts before the precise number can be ascertained. The morass, where the fire was so constant and deadly from the guns of the Confederate force, had not been penetrated when our in formant left. Scores of them fell there, and when they are brought out it will swell - the list of killed and wounded, it is thought, to a frightful extent. & An instance of bravery is related a3 having been exhibited by the. famous Col. Duryea, which should not pass unnoticed. Luckily es caping the more dangerons portions of the mo rass, be ascended a hill just as hia men were escaping from their perilous position, and re treating with all the baste that their cowardly legs could carry them. Col. Duryea taunted them for their cowardice, and, leaping upon a fance. raised bia aword aloft, and en- treotfed the flying dastards to rally round the stars tnd stnpos His appeals, however, were :s acd stripes" bad lest their fraitlfess ; tfc& "stars taliamanie influence, and the Yankees knew it would cot protect them from Minnie balls and shot- Col. Durvea still maintained his position on the fence, and while in the act of raisins his sworJ alott, was nxeaai oy a oriu Porniinion who remarked WUQ sneer. ' l wiu nt toil " The ball mis3ed its object, but an nthsrriflfl was nnicklv seized from the hands of a feilow soldier, a deadly aim taken, and in a twinkling CoL Lhirvea fell piercea xnrougn the heart, the crimson current spouting from , v ? v. :v . toe wauno, ana reaaening ms iuuu yyh brighter hue. Upon bis body, wo are informed, was found an pfoonnt o-old watch, cichtr dollars in mon- ott nnrl tha likeness of some ladv friend. Also several letters and papers. A splendid sword also fell by his prostrate form, elaborately carved about the handle, with an inscription npon the hilt, "presented to CoL Duryea by the ladies of New York." In addition the Richmond Dispatch has the following : BATTLE AT BETHEL CHTJECH. By the James River steamer which arrived yes terday evening: we received the following com munications We give them with an expression of the hope that they are not exsgerated, and leave the reader to form his own judgement : Williamsburg, Jane 10. I have onlv time before the mail closes to tell yon of the fight about 10 miles below. Three thousand of the Abolitionists marched against two thousand of our men. and we have completely cut them to pieces. We have lost one man, killed, and have two wounded all three from JTorth Carolina. WTe have slain the scoun drels bv hundreds. The ground is completely strewn with the Yankee dead. ANOTHER LETTER. Jamestown Island, June 10. 1861, 9 o'clock, P. M Editor of the Dispatch . We have just received at this post intelligence to this effect : that Col. McGruder s command. 2,200 strong, stationed at tho Bethel, on the line between York and Elizabeth City connties, wks attacked to-day by from 3.000 to 4,000 Federal troops, who were repulsed with a loss of 300 men in killed and wounded, while we only lost 5 on onr side. Our loss was from the Is otto way Cavalry alone. whose horses.it seemed, mired in attempting to pass irom tue attack 01 an overwhelming xorce 10 the rear of JIcGruder's redoubt. The object of the Federal forces seems to have been to fall upon the force at Yorktown, and in their route were compelled to pass McGruder b ines. llie battle lasted several hours, and tna discharges of cannon were heard at this place very distinctly. Our brave boys were following up their victory when dispatches were sent out. We have pretty much the same report irom iwo sources ; one direct irom tne scene or acuon oy a perfectly reiiabla party ; and both tally so nearly that their truth, with gome slight modifications, may be received with perfect confidence. You may expect to hear of more fighting in a day or two, as the battle fought to-d;iy was not more than 12 miles from their stronghold at k ortress Monroe. SOLDIER XiOY. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE BAT TLETHE VICTORY CONFIRMED. . Gitovn Landing, James River, Monday Night, June 10. 1361. J Early this morning; we were made to won der at the meaning' of tho big mouthed can non so continually barking in the direction of Hampton, but were soon acquainted with the fact that the enemy, who have boen so feasting on the dainties of our soil, had been inspired with courage enough (by taking with them a superior force) to make an attack on our troops, stationed at Bethel Church, 10 miles from Hampton. They were repulsed twice at 10-o'clock A. M.;"but betting on their numbers, as they always have done, they again rallied, when they were driven off with a loss of three hundred men.. Our loss is small when compared with theirs, being only six ; but I am sorry even to have to record this loss, and that, too, from the ranks of the brave sor-3 cf Nottoway.

ADVENTURES OF AN ALABAMA COMPA NY THE LAUDERDALE RIFLES AT TACKED BY AN ARMED MOB IN EAST TENNEESSEE- NO ONE HURT THEIR SAFE ARRIVAL AT RICHMOND. On Saturday last we were called upon by an oflicer of the Lauderdale (Ala.) Rifles, who gave us the following interesting narrative of the adventures of the company while on the way to Virginia : Richmond, Va., June 8, 1SS1. The Lauderdale Rifles left North Alabama last Monday with the hope and desire of reach ing Richmond in three days, but owing to delaj-s caused by the trains running olfthe track, we were not allowed to reach your beautiful city until last night about 12 o'clock. Allow me to thank the kind people of Alaba ma, Virginia, and some of Tennessee, for their many kindnesses showed us, and especially the ladies of Dublin, Va., who gave us a very nice dinner. My object in addressing this short note to ycu, is two-fold first, to thank the good people of Virginia and Alabama ; 2nd, and to make a true statement of the affray that took place about one mile this side of Strawberry Plains. We were detained at Strawberry Plains about two hours, and while there we saw the old flag of the once glorious Union ; and the sight of that banner now the emblem of tyranny and oppression filled our men with rage, and immediately a determina tion arose to take it down ; but the interfer ence of our officers stopped them. In the meanwhile, there was a spy sent from the Un ion men who hadjust passed us with some five or six hundred strong, with some five or six flags, all indicating oppression, and by that means they found out that we were unarmed ; and as we passed along the road where they had col lected to something like two thousand stron to hear isrownlow, Maynard and others make their last desperate effort to carry Tennessee with the North, they began to rock us and level their guns on us. Our men all saw the guns bearing directly upon us, but did noth ing until they began to throw rocks at us, and then, and not until then, one of our men threw a rock at them, and immediately they began a heavy fire on us, which our men answered by firing some fifteen or twenty times at them with repeaters. The cars did not halt ; so we do not know whether we hurt any of them or not. None of our men were hurt. Some balls they shot at us struck our cars. Some hit above our heads, and some hit the side. We were in open cars. We did not have our flag up. It was kept down at the request of our friends at Strawberry Plains. W. C. Reeder, 1st Lieut. Lauderdale Rifle Co., Ala. The Ladies of Greensboro. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the patriotic ladies of this place. They have made with their own hands, uniforms for two companies they send weekly to the Grays, a box of provisions and every train that brings soldiers from the South and West, finds them waiting at the de pot with water, provisions and flowers to cheer the sons of the South. They are more than repaid by the smiles and heartfelt huzzas of the soldiers, who, we learn, keep up cheering for the ladies of Greensboro as far East as Ral eigh. Times. A Lincoln Flag. The Louisiana Batalion which arrived in Richmond last night from Pensacola, brought with them a Lincoln flag, which they" tore down from a pole in passing through New Market, Tennesse the strongest Union place in that State.
