northern Account of the Hampton
Fight.
Washington, June 12.—1 tis not
known here with certainty how many
were killed and wounded at the cap
ture of Little Bethel. The fire of the
Lincolnites was comparatively harm
less. The attack lasted half an hour,
when the retreat sounded, which order
was promptly obeyed in an orderly
manner. The number killed is esti
mated at about thirty; wounded one
hundred.
Maj. Winthrop, aid to Gen. Butler,
and Lieut, Col. Griun&ll of tile New
York Ist Regiment, are tntsstng.
Little Bethel was'bumed and the
army then advanced towards Great
Bethel. Arriving there they could see
. no men and no batteries. - Only flashes
and comrades falling. A well con
certed movement might have secured
• the position, but Brig. Gen. Pierce
seemed to have lost his wits.
Lieut. Gribble, U. S. A. and 25
others were killed, and one hundred
wounded. Intense indignation was
manifested against Pierce for not hav
ing ordered an earlier flight of his
force.
Baltimore, June 12.—At Little
Bethel the German Regiment rnistak
- ing the signal fired on Col. Townsend’s
column, marching in -close order, with
two pieces of artillery. Other ac
counts say that Townsend’s regiment
fired first. Townsend’s fire proved
harmless. The German fire killed one
and wounded two. The Albany regi
riient being behind, discovered by ac
coutrements on the field that- the sup
posed* enemies were friends, but pre
viously had fired nine rounds.
Duryea’s Zouaves hearing the firing
turned and fired on the Albanians.
.At day break two regiments moved to
. Fortress Monroe to support the main
body.
Baltimore, June 12.—A steamer
from Old Point Comfort confirms the
report of the defeat of the Lincolnites
at Bethel. The Confederate Cavalry
and Infantry pursued the retreating
invaders as far as New Market Bridge,
this side of Little Bethel, which bridge
the Lincolnites burned. The Confed
erates had six guns beside a battery.
There are no further military move
ments reported from Fortress Monroe.
Gen. Pierce, who led the attacking
columns of Lincolnites is a Massachu
