England from taking step further in the

The Engagement at Great Bethel.
A LATER ACCOUNT.


County bridge, where the battle was
fought, is near the head of branch of Back
river, better known as Great Bethel. AZ
ter crossing narrow but deep stream, the
road defects to the left along lis side. just
beyond the bridge, the rebels planted bat
terry, consisting OF at least one twelve pound
riiled cannon and two field pieces. Their
line entrenchments then follow the right
side of the road, with ditch between them.
The position is excellently chosen, the
stream and morass on the left of the road
widening so as to render futile any attempt
to outhank the rebels on that side. The
formation Of the ground on the right made
a faux movement by our troops very cir
cuitous.
The first intimatlon of battery was a
sharp discharge of artillery upon the Zou-
aves, who twice attempted to carry the work.
but were unable TO pass the stream, and
had to fall back among some trees. Other
regiments came up in good order, but for
want of a skillful commander, fell into con-
fusion. A council of colonels was held,
and the order given to retreat after our
men had been exposed an hour and halt
to heavy fire.
In the meantime, Lieut.. Col. Washburn,
with 250 men had by wide circuit reached
the rear of the battery and it is quite evi-
dent that the rebels lwho, it is now deter.
mined, did not number 600) were on the
point of leaving the field. Notwithstand-
ing their reported pursuit, no rebels were
seen this side of Great Bethel. Ii is for
tunate that the rebel cavalry did not pur-
sue our troops.
On the disappearance of our troops, the
whole force of the enemy, fearing another
attack under better auspices, left their en-
trenchments and hastily withdrew towards
Yorktown, carrying away their artillery
and burning the adjacent buildings.
Col. Taylor, with nearly 1000 men, on
Tuesday made reconnaissance from New
port News, but returned in the evening.
A captain of Zouaves, with a flag OF
truce and a surgeon, went on Wednesday
to Grea. Bethel, bearing letter from Gen.
Butler, respecting the burial of our dead.
Official returns of our killed and wound
ed are not yet complete. -Four of Col.
Duryea's Zouaves We're killed, two danger
ously wounded, ten badly wounded and two
missing. Altogether there were certainly
20 killed and 80 wounded. Two of the
wounded died on Tuesday. Col. Bendix' S
regiment has three killed, seven wounded
