TnE DEFEAT AT GREAT BETHEL.

There is no use OF mourning over
spillcd milk, but that little dateat OF our
troops at Great Bethel is extremely
Notifying to say the least, and reveals
great want of good military manage
mcnt somewhere, and carries to the true
American heat deep modification.
Hos such bungling affair could have
taken place in well conducted attack,
even under tho cover of tho darkest
night is mystery yet to be solved. II
the report is trne, aud We presume it is,
the result, aside from the loss of life
and blood, is most unhappy. 1t not on
~ has dcmoralizing effect in the army
but it gives prestige 10 the enemy and
sircpg thens them more than we can tell
1t is the first engagement of any con-
siderable number Of men, and being al
lowed to terminate in the way it did,
detracts greatly from Tie reputation Of
those who had the managing thereof. We
had come to the conclusion long ago
that the first few battles would be lost
BY orr troops, but We had rather seen
them defeated 10 well directed action
than TO be thus confused and driven
from the field. Future dispatches may
set matters more at rights, and we hope
they may. The idea of engaging in
the slaughter Of our brave men through
sheer carelessness or inattepiiop, is a
liti!e more than flesh and blood can
peaceatly endure.

The Policy.

"A Little More Grape, Capt. Bragg -
The New York Herald republshcs,
from its files of 1859, the communica-
lion OF correspondent who denies the
use by Gen. ylor, at the battle OF
Buena Vista, of those words which have
long been considered so truly his, that
they have almost become part of him
"A little more grape, Capt. Bragg"
The correspondent allIled to says that
when the messenger from Capt. Bragg
reported to Gen. Taylor that a large
portion OF the guns had been dismount-
ed, and that there were not men enough
lett to work the remainder, and asked
the General what should be done, the
old hero's reply was "Tcll HIM to give
'em HI, God On 'em p The cores
pondent, who gives this version Of Gen.
Taylor's language, thinks that, while it
IS not so quotab.e at the anniversaries,
as the received one, it has, besides being
true, he further advantage Of photo
graphing how human nature really ex-
presses itself in the ardor of battle, and
of displaying Gen. Taylor as the old
Thor Tbunderer that he really was, in
contrast with what civilians might sup
pose him to have been from such out-of-
place archaeological dandyisms as "A
little more grape"
