Although no ons is oisheartened by the sad
affair at Bethel, Virginia yet deep gloom is
spread over the city to day when the sacrifice
of these neble fellows is thought Of. The off
rial report, which you have no doubt received
is feared has not given the full return Of the
dead and wounded have conversed with
gentienan who was on board OF the Baltimore
boat when the news ofths disaster was brought
to the Fortress, and the men engaged in the sad
werk said that thers double that number still
nm the field n Il is believed that the wounded
number neaEiy two hundred.
This is all very sad news, hut the affair will
nerve the arms ofthe men now moving on liar
psr's Ferry. and who will certainly be possessed
Of that stronghold, I have good reason to bslieve
before twenty iour hours. General Pattersons

Ferry tonight, ~ will also strong force from
this city and the vicinity OF Baltimore The
troops that moved down and possessed Cum
beriand Yesterday, will also dIrw noar the scene
of action tonight, as will a.so the victorious
army at PhilipL
Two schooners that had been employed in
Transporting munitions efwar from Maryland to
Virginia we're taken and burned blythe Federal

MARYLAND side, and the other on the Virginia
