The York River train yesterday brought up the body of young Wyatt, of the North Carolina Regiment, the only one killed on our side in the 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.
