The Peninsula battlefurther accounts. From persons who left Yorktown two days after the battle at Bethel Church, we learn that on Wednesday morning our camp was approached by five New York Zouaves under a flag of truce. The object of their mission was ostensibly to be permitted to bury their dead and to effect an exchange o that at roll-call on Tuesday morning, 440 were missing. Below we give further particulars of the battle: Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. Yorktown. June 11, 1861. As the steamer from your city is in sight. I hasten to give you a brief description, of the battle of Bethel Church, which took place yesterday before I got to the wharf, and I will add a word. Monday evening, (the day of the fight.) the order was issued that our whole force should retire upon Yorktown, and the march was taken up at sunset. Everything was removed that was of any value. The following are the reasons for this movement: 1st Our ammunition was ne

Capture of Hampton,"&c. Fearing, however, that something more belligerent might take place, is the small military force we had (not over 150 men) were ordered to Yorktown, nearly every family has since left the place. It is now emphatically a "deserted village." This was to say the least, an unnecessary, cowardly and cruel insults she was riding quietly along the road in a buggy. Last week a body of troops marched from this place to Bethel Meeting House, about ten miles distant, towards Yorktown, and returned. On their return they were met by a party of a gentleman and three or four ladies, in a carriage. The officers stopped and spoke very politely tor, are now being checked by something a little more substantial and effective than paper proclamations. As most of our military force is necessarily occupied at Yorktown, some citizens are organizing guerilla parties. They have already killed four., and wounded and taken about a half dozen prisoners. Day before yesterday two of

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Eject of the News in Norfolk. Norfolk, Va., June 12, 1861. The greatest excitement was witnessed here last evening. out of the announcement that a dispatch had been received by Col. Huger, stating that 4,500 of the Lincoln hirelings were met by 1,000 Confederate troops under Col. Magruder, at Bethel Church, between Yorktown and Williamsburg and defeated with great loss. At night, tar barrels were burned, and the utmost enthusiasm exhibited. The dispatch says our men fought like lions, and the greatest skill and bravery are to be awarded them in the struggle. Col. Magruder receives the lasting praise of our people, as he will the whole South, for his action in this contest. It is but a part, however, of his military character to be expert in war. The event has been received here with such glowing delight that I could not forbear making mention of it, although you have probably been advised of the minutest particular

t on the day of the battle was immense. We were in the trenches twelve hours, engaged alternately in fighting and working. After the battle we marched to our quarters, obtained a cup of coffee, and the whole force took up the line of march for Yorktown, a distance of 15 miles, which place we reached about midnight, nearly exhausted. But I fear I have already spun this letter to too great a length for publication, and will therefore close. W. P. S.--Capt. Charters leaves here to-day fed charges, but were repulsed with heavy loss. Our cavalry pursued them for six miles, when their retreat became a total rout. Fearing that heavy reinforcements would be sent up from Fortress Monroe, we fell back at nightfall upon our works at Yorktown. I regret to report the loss of one man killed, private Henry L. Wyatt, Edgecombe Guards, and seven wounded. The loss of the enemy, by their own confession, was 150; but it may be safely estimated at 260. Our regiment behaved most gal

Matrimonial, --A member of the New Orleans Zouaves, a splendid specimen of the Southern soldier, and a gentleman, we learn of considerable property in that city, conducted to the altar of Hymen, on Wednesday evening last, a young lady of Richmond. We happened in at the ceremony, which was performed by Or Duncan, of the Methodist Church, of this city, in the elegant and spacious parlors of the St. Charles Hotel, and could only learn that the name of the happy Zouave was Angus, and that of the bride Pocahontas. The happy pair started at six o'clock A. M., on Thursday, for Yorktown.
