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.

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.
