the direction of the point the Arkansas shore,

HriuIant victory of Confederate Troops.

Brilliant victory of Confederate Troops
Our SPECIAL reporter at Richmond, whose rea-
bihty we do not question. confirms the news recelV-
ed yesterday afternoon, by way OF Baltimore oi "A
brilliant victory OF Confederate troops over the
enemy at Bethel Church, nine miles from Hampton.
The enemy, 5000 strong. attacked the Con
feserates under Col. J. BANKHEAD MAGRUDER,
who was intrenohed at Bethel Church, with IZOO
North Carolina and Virginia Volunteers, and three
times invloriously fed leaving 100 men dead on the
field. We may ssy that we entertain no doubt
whatever of the reliability of the news as 1t comes
substantially both from the North and from irgma
Our correspondent in Virginia has just been en-
gagged TO most our readers with reference TO the
strrinp events at the seat of war, and we may
henoeforth uromise them accurate and late intel
ligence from that quarter
This engagement is very important, as being the
first in which any considerable body Of the btliger
ents have been brought face to face IT bears the
same relation to the present war, for Southern IN
depeudence, that Bunker Hill did to the reNoiu-
1,onary struggle OF l776 In that instance the IN
vaders were several times repulsed, but haasy
GAINED their point after great slaughter. In the
bsttle at Bethel, the Yankee invaders were lgno-
,0,niously driven from the field and fed back to
thoir stronghold with curses on the head OF their
General for not sooner ordering retreat.
This victory is precursor of the struggle

Illustrative of the spirit that governs Virginia rebels.
As he was ahead Of the troops, riding down the
road, accommodating, he came to = house by the
roadside where the woman of it was up when,
Yankee like, he began to question her about ole
number of Secessionists 10 the neighborhood. She
wanted to lzno which side he belong d to- He re-
piled by asking ifshs supposed be wouldbe in that
neighborhood if he did not wish to JOIN The Seces
sionists. BE learned from her that the rebels had
no artillery. Before be returned from his recon
noisance of the town Of Phllippi the woman had
discovered her mistake, and had pistol 10 hand for
him, which she discharged at him, without any
damage however. He took of his hat and bowed
to her. and beggel her not to shoot a.his men,
they would kill her. Just then the adya ice Of his
accommodating party came up. when he ordered
couple of them to seizs the woman's son a lad of
about seventeen, to prevent him informing the enc
my Of their approach. The boy was immediately
seized. when the mother came at them with an ak
and the fury of savage, and they bad 70 let the
boy go to defend themselves, when he took 10 the
woods, and was soon lost TO sight. 81 the main
body of troops passed by che fired her pistol at
them Also but without effect her door receiving in
return some half dozen rifle ball perf1rations, to
remind her that shooting was q dangerous business
