BALTIMORE, June l3.-The steamer which
lett Old Point last night, has arrived The
county bridge where the battIe of Monday
was fought, is near the head Of branch
OF back river, and better known us Great
Bethel. After crossing the narrow, but
apparently deep stream, the road defects
somewhat to the left. Along its side, lust
beyond the bridge, the rebels had planted
their battery, consisting of at least one IL
pound ritied cannon, and two field peices.
! me line OF the rebel entertainments was
then followed on the right side of the road
WIN ditch only between them. The po-
sIllon was eXcellently chosen. The stream
ana morass on the left side of the road
rendered futile any attempt TO outtlank the
rebels on that side. The formation of the
ground on the right side made flank
movement very circuitous. The first iuti-
nation of their proximity to battery was
sharp discharge of artillery upon our
ZouRves, who twice attempted to carry the
work, but were unable to pass the stream,
and were compelled to fall back among the
trees The other regiments came up in the
order given in my FIRST dispatch; but, for
tue want Of good commander, they fell
into confusion A council of Colonies was
then held, and the order 10 retreat was
given, after sustaining n destructive FIRE
Lieut.. Col. Washburn, with $50 men,
had, by wide circuit, reached the rear of
the battery, and it is quite evident that the
Contederates, who, 1t is now determined,
did not number 600 men, were on the
point of leaving the field Notwithstand
ing the report of the pursuit, no rebels
were seen on this side of Great Bethel, and
1t Is fortunate that they,did not pursue u.s.
onthe Disappearance Il troops the whole
force of the enemy, featng an attack under
better auspices, left their entertainments
and hastily withdrew towards Yorktown,
carrying with them their artillery, aud
burning adjacent buildings.
