54.-the battle at great Bethel.
The attack on Great Bethel, it appears, was planned by the late Major Winthrop.
The correspondent of the Boston Journal writes from Fortress Monroe:

Notes of the plan of attack,
By two detachments, upon Little Bethel and Big Bethel.
A regiment or a battalion to march from Newport News, and a regiment or a battalion to march from Camp Hamilton, Duryea's. Each regiment to be supported by sufficient reserves, under arms, in camp, and with advanced guards out on the road of march.
Duryea to push out two pickets at 10 P. M., one two and a half miles beyond Hampton, on the county road, but not so far as to alarm the enemy.
