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

The fight at Fairfax Court-House. Camp Bonhan, Near Manassas Junction, June 12, 1861 There has been such unmitigated lying at the North in reference to the engagement at Fairfax Court-House, that a lady who chanced to be an eye witness of the scene has furnished me with the enclosed account of it, and requests me to have it published. She would be pleased, I am sure, to have it appear in some paper that will bring it to the notice of the people of the State, and I send it to you. L. S. We were around on the morning of the 1st of June, by the tramping of horse through our village. A party of the Second Cavalry, as we have since learned, consisting of seventy-five men, commanded by Lieutenant Tompkins, and guided by a spy, came up through an old country road, fired, we presume, with zeal to emulate the fame won by the hero, Ellsworth, for his midnight assault upon a sleeping and unarmed house in the town of Alexandria. One of the sentinels only gave the alarm, and

giment, Col. Allen's Regiment, and Col. Harris's Regiment. The defenders numbered only 1,000 heroes at Little Bethel. A Southern Major and two Secessionists were captured. It will be observed that there are some arrant falsehood in the above, on of which we have italicised. The account shows, however, that the Federalists cannot dery that they were soundly thrashed. The following letter is from a popular member of the Young Guard: Headquarters "Young Guard," Yorktown, June 12, 1861. I doubt not before this you have received an account of the great battle fought at Bethel Church on the 10th just; but still, a repetition, I think, will prove interesting. A detachment of the Howitzer Battalion, the North Carolina Regiment, a portion of Col. August's Regiment, consisting of the Young Guard, the Virginia Life Guard and the Henrico Southern Guard, under Lieut. Col. Stuart, and Major Montague's Battalion, had been marched to Bethel Church a few days previous to

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Fairfax C. H. Fairfax C. H., June 12th, 1861. This is a delightful, pleasant place, and one of the prettiest little towns I ever saw. If thus far we have seen any of the hardships of a soldier's life, we won't object to being soldiers all our lives. Since the late attack made by the enemy on this place, we have been getting up at two and three o'clock every morning. We form into line with knapsacks, &c., on and stand thus for a couple of hours, prepared to give the Ape's hirelings a warm reception in case they should come. Rest assured, if an attack is made we won't be surprised like our soldiers were on the 1st inst. Our scouts went yesterday within hearing distance of the enemy's drum. None of their scouts could be seen. Scouting and standing guard is a duty quite trying to a timid person's nerves; but the men all seem to like it, and are always ready and anxious to go. Most of your correspondent's company, as you know, are
