BALTIMORE, June II.-Gen. Butler, hav-
ing learned that the rebels were terrifying
their Camp with strong batteries, at Great
Bethel nine miles from Ham pdeu, on the
Yorktown road, he deemed it necessary to
dislodge them. Accordingly movements
were made, last night, from Fortress Mon
roe and Newport News, about midnight
Col. DURYEA'S Zouaves and Col. Townsend
Albany regiment crossed the river at Hamp-
den, by means six large beatteaux, manned
by the Naval brigade, and took up the line
of march, the former some two miles in adj
vance of the latter. At The same time, Col.
Benedict's regiment, and attachments Of
the Vermont and Massachusetts regiments
at Newport, moved forward to form Juno
ton with the regulars at Fortress Monroe.
The Zouaves passed Little Bethel about
4 clock A. Il. Col. Benedicts regiment
arrived and took position at the intersec-
ton of the roads. Not understanding the
signal, the German regiment, in the dark
ness of the night, fired upon Col. Town
sends column, marching in close order and
led by Lieut.. Butler, son aud aid-de-camp
Of Gen. Butler with two pieces of artillery.
Other accounts say that Col. Townsend 3

Great Bethel, but our three striilll pieces of
artillery were unable to cope With the
heavy rifed cannon OF the enemy. The
rebel battery was completely masked. No
men could be seen under the flashes Of the
guns There were probably little less than
one thousand men behind the batteries of tie
rebels. A we'll concerted movement might
have secured the position, but Brigadier
General Pierce, who commanded the exped-
ton, appears TO have lost his presence of
mind and the Troy Regiment stood for an
hour exposed to CALLING FIRE, when an or
der to retreat was at last given. Lieut..
Grible, OF the United States Army, and in
command of the artillery, was ruck by
cannon ball and instantly killed. He had
spiked his gun and was CALAMITY endeavor-
ing TO withdraw his command. Capt. Geo.
W Wilson, of the Troy Regiment, after the
order to retreat was given, took possession
of the gun and brought it off the field with
the corpse of the Lieutenant. Both were
brought to Fortress Monroe this evening.
There are probably about seventy-fve
killed and one hundred of the federal troops
wounded Lieut.. Butler deserves the great
est credit for bringing off the killed and
wounded Severll of the latter are now in
the hospital here. Great indignation is
manifested against Brigadier Gen. Pierce.
1t is not known how many were killed or
wounded in the unfortunate collision of the
Federal troops previous to marching on
Great Bethel The loss was, however, in
considerable The fire of our troops on the
masked battery did, apparently, little exc
cution, being composed of small field pieces
and howitzers, against the rifed cannon of
the rebels The attack lasted but half an
hour, when the retreat was sounded, and |
executed in good order The troops through |
out the trying affair, behaved well.
The estimated number killed was about |
80. and 100 wounded. Major Winthrop, I
aid Of Gen. Butler, and Lieut. Grinell, of the I
New York 1st regiment, are missing /
Among the killed are Lieut. Grebbs, of the
q. S. Artillery. He was struck on the /
right side of the forehead by rihed cannon

count of the affair at Great Bethel, states
that after the unfortunate mistake was rec
tilted, the forces comprising the 1st, ID. and
81 New York regiments, joined by detach-
ments of the 4th Massachusetts, 4th Yer
mont and 18th and 9th New York regi
ments, with two light field pieces, under
Lieut. Grebbs, came upon an advance guard
Of the rebels, defeated and drove them back,
taking thirty prisoners. Then they adj
vanced on Great Bethel, in York County,
where they came upon the enemy, four
thousand strong, and drove right into them.
They were in position, protected by six
heavy batteries comprising six and twelve
Founders and heavy rifed cannon.
Both Duryea's Zouaves and -Dawkius's
Regiment charged right up to the batteries.
but could not pass the ditch, and were COM
PEELED to fall back. After two hours con-
test the ammunition gave out, and the
troops retired in perfect order.
The Tribihe's report says all but one
rifed gun of the enemy were sileuced, and
tLat.wnen the Zouaves charged the enemy
scattered. Not more than half the force
was brought into the action at once.
Lieut. Grebbs' body was CALAMITY saved
by being brought off the field on his own
cannon.
