Six Moro Ohio Regiments.

A telegraphic dispatch from Washington, a
day or two since, announced that John 4. Cur
ley is authorized By the President to raise siz
moro regiments in cincinnati. The statement
appeared little queer, but the Ga=eM explains
1t thus:
When Mr. Gur1ey left here for Washington,
the Second Cincinnati German Regiment had
been fully mustered for slx weeks, and valnly
applying to be mustered for the War About
bali Of these men bad seen service. The en-
tanglement Of regulations and circumlocution
In the War Department proved too much for
them TO overcome, and there seemed to be no
recourse for the regiment but to disband.
Mr. Gurley determined to get this regiment
into the service There were also three other
regiments, complete, or nearly 80, enlisted in
Cincinnati, and anxious to be accepted. It
Seems also from other dispatches that Gov
ernor Dennison requested Mr. Gurley to get
still other regiments accepted, whilo his hand
was In.
By the dispatches, It seems that Ar. Gurley
has taken the clrcumlocution office by q coup
de main, and procured the acceptance Of sir

4 Sharp Criticism Oh the Great Bethel
Affair.

Affair.
The Boston Journal publishes the following
sharp criticism On the Great Bethel affair from
the pen Of an eyewitness:
OF the battle, sufficient to asy that it Was
begun without any knowledge OF the tncmy's
Positon, and so without any plan it was car
Tted On without any orders, e1ch man fighting
on his Own hook, and It was ended f1ttinglY
By roqt md > retreat, during which, bad the
Billed our men Ike sheep. And more; the
retreat Was ordered when the Massachusetts,
men had already partially gained the enemy's
rear, and when q little more energy and perse-
verance would nave giyen US the victory. The
cnem5s position WAS masked in front BY
bushes and trees, aud VS. nanked by woods
ard ewsnpe, thus puzzEing nan who had
few rules 10 fight BY, and could 60 no farther.
Yet the II treat Was the most unspcalsa5ly dis
graceful Of nll. A fresh regiment arrived Just
before the retreat WIS ordered. Another Was
advancing, and yet In such hurry burly did
the men retreat that eight wounded men, one
sick man, and two dead men were left behind
to the tender me1cies Of the energy, to say
nothing Of the stragg1ers. Nothing but the
coTsrdice Of band Of SONG eighty Virginia
hoFsemen who pursued us, eaycd q little squsd
Of thirty, and an these wounded from being
cut of.
Nothing can express the sense Of shame
which every soldier fcre feels. Gen Plerce's
pame is now synonym for imtecility and the
least the soldiers here will be satisfied with is
that be be recalled or compelled TO resign.
Now have told dark and shameful Etory,
but It is true cye.y word Of it. In bright re-
lief to this is the conduct OF many pTiyates.
50 lar ns there WIS ony battle every man
fought pretty much On hts OWL hook; and
Massachusetts, men and the Zouayes were in
the fcre front. Three Of the four OF FIVE Mas
