dear Uncle Sam had been awflily. hopelessly
and overwhelmingly Whipped out OF III

Express, ie, according To that excellent Jour-
nal. "enyironed with difficulties and dangers

battery at the fret trial Is. we are told, "nn
inglorious and bloody defeat" We are free
to say that in our opinion the Great Bethel
affair was a wretched fizzle, but it is also onr
opinion that, if the rebels stay in Nirgini"
long enough, they will find that it hy II"

the reoe's as able to whip the un,vers

the poor, miserable Union that use1 to be,
could be blown away hy puff from the war

The dispatch said there were three regiments
