The glorious victory. We have the ratisfaction to day of publishing reliable accounts of the glorious triumph of our army on the peninsuls. Our letters are from perfectly reliable sources, several of them being from gentlemen connected with this office--one of them, Mr. H. C. Tinsley, a member of the Howitzers, who was present in the engagement, and, we learn, bore himself gallantly. It is one of the most extraordinary victories in the anuals of war. Four thousand thoroughly drilled and equipped troops routed and driven from the field by only eleven hundred men! Two hundred of the enemy killed, and on our side but one life lost! Does not the hand of God seem manifest in this thing? From the attack upon Fort Sumter to the present moment the preservation of Southern life amidst such murderous assaults as have been made by the enemy, seems little less than miraculous. Surely, in the religious exercises of this day, many a heart will exclaim, with devout thanksgiving to Go
battle on Monday. He was a native of this city, and, as the following account states, lost his life while in the performance of a gallant action. The funeral ceremonies took place in the afternoon at the Rev. Mr. Duncan's Church, and the young soldier was buried with military honors. By the afternoon train we received full accounts of the splendid victory at Bethel Church. Among the passengers was Mr. Henry C. Shook, a private in Capt. Brown's Howitzer company. He had a ball in his wrist, as a memento of the part he bore in the engagement; and a gentleman who accompanied him exhibited to us one of the enemy's haversacks, numbers of which were scattered along the road in their flight. The following letters are from our special correspondents. Two of the writers (Messrs. Tinsley and Pleasants) vacated their editorial seats in the Dispatch office to go to the war, and the writer of the third letter (Mr. Rady) for some time held the position of book-keeper in the office.
