ed writer. He was only thirty-three.
Despite the fierce fighting the losses
other than these two officers were
small. On the Union side there were
sixteen killed. thirty-four wounded
and five missing. The Confederate
losses were said to have been six kill
ed. The generalship on the Federal
side has been much condemned. al
though no formal investigation into
the battle was ever made. Strange to
say, the feature most criticised was
the order to retreat, had that not

Anybody may mistake the color OF a

Aside from this engagement, the at

1861, was concentrated on the move

one man being killed and several
wounded. The fire was returned and
the regiment literally took to the
woods on the other side of the road.
Colonel DuYJea from in front, hearing
the firing, contermarched his regiment

by mistake had fred on each otheR
Colonel Bendix, arriving ahead Of
Colonel Townsend, had concealed HIM
self in the woods When the other
appeared BendiX, believing Town

ordered an attack. This unfortunate
blunder not only resulte1 in the killing
and wounding of several Union sol
diers in both regiments, but warned
the Confederates at Little Bethel, who
beat a hasty retreat and joined the
other force at Big Bethel Thus the
federals were compelled to attack an
army twice the size of that originally
contemplated and to do so by day
light with the foe alert and prepared.
At Big Bethel the Confederates were
found entrenched with a stream and
morass in their front. At about 10
o'clock in the morning of June 10 Gen
eral Pierce opened the battle. For
nearly two hours and a half an in
cessant fire was kept gp on both sides
The Union troops made several at
tempts to charge, but were unsuccess-
full owing to the morass. Neverthe-
less, it was claimed by the Union men
that they were gradually gaining
ground when the order was suddenly
and unexpectedly given to retreat.

DREPARING for war is grewsome
II business. Perhaps those engag.
ed in making ready for the great
civil war in 1861 were too busy
to think much of the tragic side, but
at this distance II is apparent For
to us children of peace It is difficult to
understand how millions Of men and
women can become so wrought up by
the lighting fever as to risk life and all
for a cause, though doubtless we would
do the same thing II the call should
come. Yet we look with certain awe
and wonder at the spectacle.
Measured by the number Of battles
fought and the amount of blood shed
1861 was the least important year Of
the conflict between the states but we
cannot so estimate 1t. There are other
factors in the reckoning. Both the
north and the south were going into
untried fields For the most part they
had no precedents. They were facing
novel problems and had to decide n
issues, the hardest task men ever
dertake. They were at the parting
the ways and were required to cho'
the directions they would go, carve or
the ways they would follow and create
the tools for the work in hand. II is
as difficult to organize a war as TO con
duct it when organized 1t Is as
great feat to call an army into be
ing as TO win battles with that army
when It becomes a fighting entity. We

Big Bethel is about ten miles from
Fortress Monroe and is on the road
from Hampton TO Newport News
Nearer the fortress is Little BetlAl,
and the Confederates had forces at
both points These troops had annoy
ed the Union outposts and had even
taken few prisoners. They had also
impressed the negroes Of nearby plan

intrenchments. General Butter stood
this as long as he could and then Or

General Pierce in charge. On the
night of June 0 General Pierce ordered
two regiments under Colonies Duryea
and Townsend from Fortress Monroe
and one regiment from Newport News
under Colonel BendiX to meet near
Little Bethel and take the enemy by
surprise in the early morning. That
the troops might distinguish each other
from the enemy in the darkness they
were told to tie white cloths about
their arms. Colonel BendiX afterward
