Full particulars We think this is a very fair showing for our city, and one which we have a right to be proud of; and when we consider the cla men of whom our companies ars composed, we have additional reason to be proud. Many of them are wealthy. Many of them are mar ried, and almost every one of them are our best and most substantial citizens. These men have gone into the ranks to serve their country from patriotic, and not from selfish or sordid motives. They are no hireling soldiery, requires no Seer to foretell the result of a con flict, with such men in the field and such a cause as we have to fight for. Intelligence from the Fight at Bethel, and from the LaGrnnge Light Guards. We were much rejoiced to see, on Friday night last, four of the members of the LaGrange Light Guards on their way home from Virgin ia, on furlough for a short time. They were Jas. A. Norwood, W. W. Huntley, U. B. Will iams and B. B. Cook. We were sorry to find that Mr. Williams was in bsd hoalth. With this exception, all the members of the compa ny are in excellent health, and have been all the while. From the above named members of the oompany, we received full confirmation of the fight at Great Bethel Church, and addi tional particulars. The firing on Monday, when the main engagement took place, could be dis tinctly heard by the LaGrange company. They had news direct from the scene of setion, which was considered by them as entirely reliable, that at least 360 of the enemy were killed, and 376 stand of arms and equipments were cap tured. A flag of truoe was sent by the enemy to Gen. Magruder after the battle, requesting permission to bury their dead, which was granted. The bearer of the flag said that there were 600 of their men missing. Mr. Huntley of the Guards, kindly furnished us with an extra of the Norfolk Day Book giv ing details of the battle. From this ws learn that Gen. Msgruder was apprised of the ap proach of the enomy, by a deserter from their ranks who came ia advance and informed him of it in time for him to make every prepara tion to meet the attack. The Guards could distinctly hear heavy and r ipid firing on Tuesday and Wednesday, which,- from the sound, was gradually approaching Old Point Comfort, and ceased very near that point, from which they inferred that General Magruder was pursuing the enemy and driv them into Fortress Monroe. More about the Louisiana Zouaves. Our special Richmond correspondent, in one of his letters published by us yesterday, speaks in complimentary terms of the Zouaves, who had just arrived there. It was telegraphed from Wilmington, N. C., that some of them had been shot for disobedience of orders. This dispatch appeared in several of the papers in Virginia. It seems that the truth of the matter is, that one of the Zouaves waa sitting on top ot the cere, end was knocked off and killed while crossing e reilroad bridge. We think It high time the Zouaves were abused less. Hon. A. H. Stephens* Appointments.

Full parti have not yet ootne to hand, or, if they have, they are ia the possession of the authorities, and have not been given to the public. Nor has the exact number of the kttte*5 sw«t townd- ed on the enemy’s side been ascertained; but a gentleman just from the scene of the action tells me that the enemy lost about 70 killed, and about 2C0 wounded. The Yankees were shrewd, or humane enough—J can’t toll Which —to remove their dead and wounded es fast as tbs disastrous circumstancss of the battle would allow them; otherwise, we might have obtained more precise information as to the casualties of tha day. Among the killed, wes Cept. Waldrop, of the famous New York Seventh Regiment. As you are aware, his Regiment had returned to New York from their champagne—I mean their campaign—in Washington ; but the redoubt able Captain Waldrop, not satisfied with his conquests over bursting 44 Heidsieck,” and re sounding “Green Beal,” determined to repair to Fortress Monroe, and seek new adventures in the vicinity of Hampton and Yorktown— the result you have above. His sword, the gift of the fair, and with patriotio inscriptions up on its shining steel, is now in Richmond, as well as his pistols, epaulette, Ac. The most remarkable part of this affair, is the fact that we lost only one roan— named Wyatt—and had but few wounded. Four of the Federal troopers captured near Fairfax Court House, were brought here to day and lodged in jail. They are hale, stout fellows. Accompanying them is a Dr. Rich ards, who was taken prisoner while prowling around the camp of the Confederate forces, near Fairfax. He is a native of Alexandria- some twenty miles distant—but is now n resi dent of Washington eity, and is said to be the family physician of Old Abe. He may be hung as a spy/ As 44 nobody is hurt ” thus far about the White House, and his professional serviess are not needed in that quarter, he concluded, doubless, to visit his old haunts in the vicinity of Alexandria, and pick up sueh bits of infor mation as would be of service to his master.— The result is, he is likely to appear in public soon, and perform a short tragedy on the tight rope. Intelligence reached here this morning, by telegraph, from Savannah, that the enemy had landed a foroe near Hilton Head, between Sa vannah and Charleston. It has created con siderable excitement and speculation here.— The only solution that we can offer here is, that it is intended to create a division of our forces, by keeping os many of them in the South as possible. Gen. Scott can hardly ex pect to make much headway among the rice plantations of South Carolina at this sickly season ot the year. The Virginia State Convention reassembled here to-day. The First Georgia Regiment left last night for Philippa, and will be followed soon by Gov. Letcher. Everything is moving on satisfacto rily, notwithstanding General Scott’s reported boast, that he would be in Richmond by the 16th of July. My own impression is, that he will be here sooner than that, unless he keeps bright lookout. Two Companies have just arrived here from Kentucky—one of them from Louisville. In order to avoid molestation, they found it neo- essary to march on foot, and in separate par ties, from 76 to 150 miles, to a safe place of ren dezvous. Such men will do to rely upon when the hour of trial comes. They say that 44 old Kentuck” will be found on the right side yet. Every few days squads, or companies, reach here from Maryland and Kentucky. They ars the most firey and resolute men I have seen. A. P. S. The following, just to hand from York town, contains interesting details not before received: Yorktown, June 11, 1861. An engagement, lasting four hours, took place yesterday (Monday) between five regi ments of the troops from Old Point, and 1,100 Confederate troops, consisting of Virginians and North Carolinians, under General Ma gruder, at Bethtl Church, York county. Be fore telling you of the battle, I will give you some oireumstaoces preceding it. About two weeks ago, n party of 800 Yankees came up from Hampton, and oeoupied Bethel Chnrch, which position they held a day or two and then retired, leaving written on the walls of the Churoh several inscriptions, such as, “ Death to tbs Traitors !” “ Down with the Rebels I” &o. To nearly all of these the names ot the writers wers defiantly signed, and all the psnsmen signed themselves as from New York exeept one, who was from “Boston, Mass., U. 8.” To these excursions into the interior, of whioh this waa the boldest, Gen eral Magruder determined to put a stop, and accordingly filled the plaoe, after the Yankees left, with a few companies of his own troops. In addition to this, he determined to carry the war into tbs enemy’s country, and on Wednesday last Stanard’s.battery of the How itzer Battalion, was ordered down to the Church, where it was soon joined by a por tion of Brown’s battery of the same corps. The North Carolina Regiment, under Colonel Hill, waa also there, making in all about ’,100 men, and seven howitzer guns. On Saturday last the first excursion of con siderable importance was made. A detach ment of 200 infantry and a howitzer gun un der Maj. Randolph, and one of 70 infantry end another howitzer under Mq. Laae, of the N. O. regiment, storied different rootea to eat off a party whioh had left Hampton. The party wae seen and fired at by Msj. Ran- dolph'e detachment, bat mads such tost time that they escaped. Tbs troops under Msj. Lane passed witbin sight of Hampton, and as thqy turned up the road to return to Both- si encounterjd the Yankees, numbering about 90, who were entrenehad behind a fence la ihs field, protested by a high bank. Our ad vance guard fired on them, and in another moment the North Carftlialafct were dashing to pmi of Bethel. It us by persona who hood of the enemy. On Monday morning about 600 Infantry and two guns, under Gen. or two, received information that the Yankees We tbewretimd, Zouave style, firing at them In mi -I *tj!a. The Yaakflse ffsd for it leg about lira nlautM aad after reaebing eamp the guns worn placed in bnUqry, and the in toot ry took their pUc*a behind their breastwork. Everybody was oool, and all were anxioue to give the invad- About 9 o’clock the glittering bayonets of tbs enemy appeared an the hill apposite, and above them waved the 8tar Spangled Banner. The moment tha head of the oolumn advanc ed far enough to show one or two eompaniee, the Parrot gun of tha Howitzer Battery open ed on them, throwing a shell right into their midst. Their ranks broke In confusion, and tbs oolumn, or as much of it as ws could see, retreated behind two small farm houses.— From their position a fire waa opened on us, whioh was replied to by our battery, whioh commanded the route of their approach. Our firing was sxosllsnt, aad the shells scattered in all directions when they burst. They oould hardly approach the guns which they were firing for the eheils which cams from onr baitary. Within our encampment fell a perfect hailstorm of oanlster shot, ballets and bells. Remarkable to say, not ono of our men was killed inside of our eneamptnent.— Several horses were slain by the shells and bullets. Finding that bombardmoot would not an swer, the enemy, about 11 o’clock, tried to carry the position by assault, but met a ter rible repulse at tha hands of the infantry as he tried to scale the breastworks. The men dis regarded sometimes the defences erected for them, and, leaping on the embankment, stood and fired at tbs Yankees, culling them down as they eame up. One company of tbs New York Seventh Regiment, under Captain Werirop, attempted to take the redoubt on the left. The marsh they crossed was strewn with their bodies. Their Captain, a fine looking man, reached the fence, and, leaping on a log, waved his sword, orying, 44 Come on boys; one charge, and the day is ours.” The words were hie last, for a Caro lina rifle ended bis life the next moment, and his men fled in terror back. At the redoubt on the right, a company of about 300 New York Zouaves charged one of our guns, but could not stand the fire of the infantry, and retreated precipitately. Dnring these charges the main body of the enemy, on the bill, were attempting to con centrate for a general assault, but the shell from our Howitzer Battery prevented them. As one regiment would givs up the effort, an other would be marched to the position, but with no better success, for a shell would scat ter them like chaff. The men did not seem able to stand fire at all. About one o’cloek, their guns were silenced, and a few moments after their infantry re treated precipitately down the road to Hamp ton. Our Cavalry, numbering three companies, went in pursuit, and harrassed them down to the edge of Hampton. As they retreated, many of the wonnded fell along the road and died, and the whole road to Hampton was strewn with haversacks, overcoats, canteens, muskots, &c., which the men had thrown off in their retreat. After the battle, 1 visited the position they held. The houses behind which they had been hid had been burnt by our troops.— Around tbs yard were the dead bodies of the men who had been killed by our cannon, man gled in the most frightful manner by the shells. The uniforms on the bodies were very different, and many of them are like those of the Virginia soldiery. A little farther on we came to the point to which they had car ried some of their wounded, who had sines died. The gay looking uniforms of the New Yorx Zouaves contrasted greatly with the paled, fixed faces of their dead owners. Go ing to the swamp through which they at tempted to pass to assault our lines, present ed another bloody scene. Bodies doited the black morass from one end to the other. 1 saw one boyish, delecate-looking fellow lying on the mud, with a bullet hole through his breast, his hand was pressed on the wound from which his life blood had poured, and the other was elenohod in the grass that grew near him. Lying on the ground was a Testa ment which had fallen from his pocket, dan* bed with bloed. Ou opening the cover I found the printed inscription, 44 Presented to the de fenders of their Country, by the New York Bible Society.” An U. 8. flag was also stam ped on the tills page. Among the haversacks picked up along the roots were many letters from the Northern States, asking if they liked ths 8onthsrn farms, and if ths Southern barbarians bad bee* whipped oat yet. The force of the enemy brought against us was 4,000, sooording to the statement of ths six prisoners we took. Ours was 1100. Their loss in killed and wounded must be nearly 200. Our loss is one killed and thro# wound ed. The fatal oaso was that of a North Car olinian who volunteered to fire ono of the houses behind which they wars stationed.— He start#! from the breast-work to accom plish it, but was shot] in tho head. He died this morning at tho hospital. Ths wounded art Harry Shook, of Richmond, of Brown’s Battery,|shot in ths 'wrist; John Worth, of Richmond of tho samo Bettory, sho tin ths log, and Lieut. Hudnall, of tho samo battery, shot in-tho foot. None of tho wounds at e serious. Ths Louisiana Regiment arrived about ono hour after the fight was over. They ere a flue looking sot of follows. As there was a fores enough at Old Point to *end up to Bothol and eonrround us, we took up tho lino of march and came up to Yorktown, where we now ars. 1 hear to-day, that troops from Old Point aro marching up to attack us, but cannot aay whether it ia ao or not. I would merely menlion, hero that one of our oorps picked up, on the field of battle, a memorandum book belonging to ono R. M. Parker, private in tho 2d company, 1st regi- mont Volunteer*, in wbioh I find the follow ing entry: 44 Juno 6th Harriot Lane demolished the bailor/ opposite. Six Massachusetts privates shot accidentally—carelessness in on attack. Eight hundrsdlmoro troops arrived from Now York. 11.

Brigadier General Wise will start for North western Virginia on to-morrow, by which time 6,000 men will have been transported by Rail road to Staunton, in this State, where he will bn joined by several additional Regiments, which will swell bis army to ten thousand-men.— From Staunton he will proceed on toot, a dis tance of 100 miles, over a rough turnpike, up the Alleghany Mountains. The march will be a laborious one, but the dauntless blood and heroic energy of Wise will overleap all obsta cles, and land him in the very midst of his foes. Distinguished end prominent men from the North-West have been here recently, implor ing the authorities for an army of 10,000 sol diers, which, they assert, can be immediately increased to 20,000 by additions from the thou sands of true men who are eager to rally to the standard of their State. The moral effect of sending Gov*rnor Wise will be greet He is perhaps the most remarkable man of the pres ent age. His health for some time has been feeble, and he presents almoet the appearance of a shadow. Severe labor of mind, painful family afflictions, and intense anguish at the danger of bis State, have reduced him to a mere skeleton. But frail as the tenement is, the iron will and the resolution of soul, which are indeed unconquerable, still remain. Pale, emaciated, with feeble form and tottering gait he it yet, when aroneed, fierce as the enraged lion, and swift as the lightning’s flash. He proclaims bis intention of addressing the peo ple of that section at their Court-houses, vil lages and cross-roads, whenever and wherever the cessation from actual combat shall afford* him the time and occasion. He will also dis seminate broadcast among the people a pow erful proclamation, urging them to crush out the invaders, and uplift to ita ancient sovereign iy the trampled standard of Virginia’s honor. At his call, many a sword will spring from its scabbard, and many a trusty rifle be charged by the unerring hand of the hardy mountain eers. His son, O. Jennings Wise, who for some time has been stationed in command of a Com pany at Acquia Creek, will join him in the ex pedition. A number of Texan rangers will be long to his army, and I learn the notorious Zouave Regiment, at present near the city, imploring the President for permission to join his brave bund, The Secretary of War, General Walker, has been prostrated for several days by severe sick' ness, and on yesterday was reported to be dan gerous. On Saturday last, a beautiful and costly flag was presented to the Maryland Battalion, on duty here, by a Mrs. McLaughlin, the wife of a naval officer, who brought it from Baltimore, through the enemy’s camp, concealed beneath the folds of her spacious crinoline.

Richmond, Virginia, June 11, 1861. The Government, the Executive and their aids monopolize all authentic military intelligence, leaving the public ear to be atuffod with false reports. The embargo laid upon the channels of re liable news is sliil in operation, but especially is its legitimate offspring—tho child of ila womb —the babe of its breast—in the most actfoe ope ration. Wild and excitable rumors gather as they roll, and shout in stentorian tones of attacks and victories, retreats and invasions. I have just been informed that a piece call ed the 44 Point of Rocks,” twelve miles from Harper’s Ferry, and guarded by six or eight hundred Confederate troops as an important and powerful obstacle of defense against an attack upon Harper’s Ferry from the rear side, had been abandoned—our troops falling back upon tho mein body. This Indicates that an assanli, by a large ar my of Federal forces, is now being made, com posed principally ef Gen. MeCleUoad’s com mand, which it wee supposed woild join in the attack whenever mode by marching rapidly from Wetter n Virgin is. • Our military leaders ere fully alive to the importance of holding Manassas Junetion and North-West Virginia, and will have the com - mand of an army to Vo formed and organised At Staunton, Virginia, of 16,066 or 12,600 men, domprising some of tho first regiments in tho army. It is expected that Wise will inaugu bho face Of eoperior numbers, hot will fight them whenever and wherever they give bin an opportunity. • The President remarked to a friend on yes- terday that our eeldiers must not make op their minds to stand off and shoot from long distan ces, but like tho Zouaves in tho bloody Crimea mast rash forward, and with bayonet and Bowie knife, encounter the foe. Close quarters end cold steel are the nux vomica which will speedily produce in the Yankee animal, tetanic convulsions.
