ter at Big Bethel, to break the force of public
opprobrium which followed that ill.starred
adventure. The facts are interesting, but
will, we fear, contribute very little to puohc
profit. They are briefly these Gen Butler,
commanding the eastern department OF Vir-
giuia, ordered him, on the 9th OF June, to rout
force of the enemy at Big Bethel. designat'
ing the plan OF the expedition, and the paruc-
MAR REGIMENTS to make the attack he was III

hundred at that point il was by order OF the
commanding general that he took raw recruits
whu had never been under fire, and scarcely IN
camp month that lie was provided with
only two small howilzers, one six FOUNDER, and
twelve rounds of cartridges, to attack mask
ed battery, and six well mounted cannon. The
fatal blunder of the badges he insists happened
through the neglect OF the commanding general
to notify the detachment from Newport News,
OF the significance of the symbol which he
had devised. Smarting under the sense of
undeserved opprobrium he asked for court
of inquiry, but the uniform answer TO his de-
mand, was that such an inquiry would reveal
too much that would injure the service.
