SSllti itS iliOu IilSl ! VN HSCIiu : fire, if this is correct, was harmless.
 The fire of the Germans killed one and wounded two. The Albany regiment be- ing behind, discovered by accoutrements of men in the field, that the supposed enemies were friends, but previously had fired nine rounds Duryea's Zouaves hearing the firing, turned and fired on the Albany reci- ment. At day-break, two regiments from Fortress Monroe to support the main body. Little Bethell was burned, and the army advanced towards Great Bethell, arriving there they could see no men nor batteries. They could only sec the flashes of the southern guns and their comrades falling; d well concerted movement might have sc- cured possession, but Brisadicr- General | Pierce seemed to have lost his wits. I.ieut Grinnell, of the U. s. army, and twenty five others cf the federal force were killed. and one hundred were wounded. Inlense indignation exists against Gen Pierce for not ordering an earlier flight of the federal forces.

 LATER FROM THE FIGHT. WASHINGTON, June ll-It is not known with certainty how many were killed and wounded at the capture of Little Bethell, where the tederalists whipped federalists The fire of the iederalists at Great Bethell was apparently harmless. The attacks had | lasted but half an hour when the retreat was sounded, which order was promptly, but orderly obeycd. Estimated number of killed wounded, l00 Maj. Winthrop aid camp to Gen. Butler, and Lieut. Grenncl of New York, were amongst the first of the missing. The attacking force of federali>ts was composed of Duyca's < Zouavcs, Townsend's $ Albany regiment, Col. Burdicks regiment, detachments of Yer mont and Massachusetts regiments, Col Aliens regiment and Col Harris regiment -about six regiments in all. The South erners who defended Great Bethell only numbered about 1000.
 At the burning of Little Bethell, south ern ma or and two secessionists were cap tured.
 (The above is the northern account of the fight In all probability, the number of killed and wounded is larger, and the fedo- ralists much worse whipped than reporte~.
