Special despatch to tho New Orleans Delta. Details of the Battle of Bethel Church.

RGcRNoND. June g. Col. George | Duryea. formerly commander of the ccle- 6ratedj New Yoih Sevenfb Regiment, was killed in the battle at Bethel Church. in thc acl of rallying his men, who were run ming in all directions. He was in con- mand oi d corpse oi twelve hundred Zou. ayes.
 Three prisoners taken at the Bethel en- gagemen.. report that Genera! Butler was personally in command anl had with him T force oi four iacusand ilve huudred % five thousand men.
 They acknowledge tha, lhfir less in killed was one hundred aod fifty.
 But a portion of the command was en- gagged in the fight.
 Colonel David W. Waldroper. of the enemy's forces is among the killed. His sword with his name engraved on il is now here.
 But six hundred of our men par,icipa- ted in the battle.
 We had but one killed, Henry L. Wy. att, of the Carolina Regiment, and former ly of Richmond. Several of them are wounded. among them Charles Williams and Council Rogers, of the North Caroll- na regiment.
 The force which was so roughly han dled at Bethel. near Yorktown, seems to have moulded the first of the Northern cavaliers. We perceive that Iol Duryea commanded one of the regiments. He IS the same officer who, for 2 long time, commanded the famous Broadway warriors who were taken so home-sick after their thirty days servlce--the Seventh Regiment. Among the missing In the engagement we observe the names of Major Winthrop. of the Massachusetts Wlnlhrops, and Lieutenant Col. Grinnel, ofthe New York Grinnel Millonares.
 Some doubt n regard to the reliable. ness of the report in reference to the fight at Bethel has been based on the fact that Col. Magruder was reported, few days since, 10 be at Manassas Junction, in com- mand of battery. The latter statement was an error We saw letter yesterday from a gentleman of this Stale, now at Yorktown. in which it is stated that Col! { we hope 1t will soon be General) Ma gruder IS in command of the Confederate troops at aud near Yorktown.

WHAT MUST BE DONE WITH ALrxAN. DaiA.-The New York Tribune goes in for making some money out of the killing ot the ruffian ELLswoRTm-rather more than his whole regiment would be worth as field hands. Speaking of the contu. macious city of Alexandria, it says:
 A heavy pecuniary mulct-two or three hundred thousand dollars-sbould be i'm. posed upon it, and failing thereof, the DOT. ion of thesclty where the crime occurred should be levelled with the ground. It is said in some of the journals that coro. ners inquest over the body of the ,nur. derer rendered T verdict that he died nj ,he hands of United States soldiers while defending his own property in his own

DoN'r FORGET THE SoLDIER.-In a speech at Atlanta, Ga, few days since, Alexander H. Stephens said:
 My friends. forget not the soldier! Send him contributions to make him comfortable while he Is in the service. Take care of his family while he is absent. Employ your hands and your substance in doing works of charity in this day of your coun-> try's trial. If any should fall in the battle, remember the orphan and the widow, and take care of them God will bless you in such noble performance of a patriotic duty.

TIE RoauEs. The Yankees have had much 10 say about the South stealing pub- lie property, forts, arsenals and munitions of war. Who built the forts of the North Whose money raised the army and navy, and built the ships <? Wasn't it Southern money? Whose money built Fortress Monroe And was not the very land on which that fortress stands surrendered to the Federal agent for the express purpose of defending Virginia ? But they nave grabbed all the common property they could lay their hands upon, and violated all faith by perverting that which was de- sigued as an instrument for our defense into an agent for our oppression. The flag, too, which they have stolen, was not theirs They did not make il, nor have they ever done anything for it's honor and glory. The slar-spangled banner, also which they have appropriated without leave, was the production of Southern man. They have offered reward to some Yankee 10 wrile one, which will never be forthcoming, 10 take its place. In the meantime they prostitute it to their own vile despotism.
 Except what they have stolen from the South--general forts, money, ships, and songs-lhey have nothing Richmond Whig.

combined against the Union. -. ....s
Feeling always as the Herald now expresses

zation precisely the ills which have ensued, we
have pursued that course which seemed beat
fitted 70 preserve the Union in peace, instead
OF one which has condemned US to this frairici.

such sentiments as those avowed by tho Herald,
Republican journal during the election cam
paign, are cherished and promoted ,the sooner
will the war come 10 an end, andthe more COM
pleto and etable will be the re-ts abllshment of
friendly relations throughout the union.
On this point, the Herald, ina further article,
says: '.. 'TIf
"1he great iaultwith 10 Of The Norlh--ior
the past year ana q half atioast--has been that
we did not believe that anything was to happen,
and what was predicted we declared TO be i'm
possible. When the South told US they should
act in certain manner, we said 1t was 'gascon-
ade;' and when they affirmed tha. the slave
States would be united in that policy, we de-
clared it impossible; but all the things Whi,h
we did not believe, aud most Of those we de-
clared impossible, have come to pass. Let US
not pursue this policy any farther. Let US open
our eyes to the truth and prepare for the worst"
This statement and view Of the case is the
only one which can bring our public affairs
round; but when it is generally accepted and
acted upon, We may then, with more reason,
look for the best, instead of preparing for the

10 The trial OF Charles M. Jefferds for the

tlon in the Court of General Sessions yesterday,
throws aside the vail of secresy that for NOR
than year and half has been shrOuded about
the double tragedy of the death Of John Walton
and John W. Mathews. The case, in all its
phases, is one of the most peculiar in the his
tory of criminal jurisprudence. The evidence
developed on the trial shows the prisoner in the
character Of a professional assassin, numbering
for hire, and, encouraged BY success, offering
to add q third to the list of his victims. Young,
