UTTERING A FORGED BANK-NOTE TO AN EMPLOYER, —Joseph Hunt, porter to Mr. John Dickenson Betts, tea dealer, of 262, Oxford-street, was charged with uttering a forged £lO Bank of England note, with intent to defraud his employer. Mr. Lewis appeared for the defence. Mr. Betts said the prisoner was in his employ as porter, and it was his duty to collect moneys. On Monday even ing last the prisoner paid in his cash as usual, and amongst it was the £lO note produced. The clerk brought him the note, and on examining it he found it to be a forgery. The prisoner said it was one of three he had received from Mr. Truin. a customer, of High street, Acton. He asked the prisoner why he did not put the name on it, and he said he never did. There were two other £lO notes which came from Mr. Train, and they were both good, and bore the names of the persons Mr. Train received them from. :Mr. Truin had paid the prisoner £3O on the previous Monday, but the prisoner did not pay it in till last Monday with another sum of £3l odd received from Mr. Train. Mr. Woollam, clerk to Mr. Betts, said he received the sum of £6B 2s. 21d. from the prisoner on Monday last, and amongst the amount was the note produced. On showing it to the prisoner he said it was good enough, and that he received it from Mr. Fruiu. It was the priso ner's duty to have paid the money he received the previous Monday the same night. Mr. Truin, High-street, Acton, grocer, said he paid the prisoner on Monday week three £lO notes, and they all bore his name, as he made it a practice to put his name on every note he received. He was certain the note produced was never in his possession. Sergeant W. Gordon, 336 A, proved taking the prisoner into custody at 11r. Betts', and asked him why he kept the notes for a week. Mr. Lewis said he should reserve the defence, and asked that bail might be taken. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he must refuse the request, and that he should send the prisoner for trial for the uttering and also for embezzlement. He had no doubt the prisoner had had a good note given him and changed it for a bad one. The prisoner was then committed for trial. THAMES: ROBBERY IN A SAILOR'S Holm—Joseph Mitchell, a man of colour, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of John It. Gibson and John Macdonald, seamen. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, conducted the prosecution for the superintendent of that excellent institution, Green's Sailors' Home, in the East India-road, Poplar. The pri soner had been living there 7 weeks. Macdonald lost from his berth in the Home a pair of cloth trousers, a waistcoat, a pair of braces, two white shirts, an old cloth cap, and 3s. in money. Gibson missed from his berth a coat, valued at 10s. Prisoner was seen leaving the home with a bundle, consisting of a portion of the stolen property, and was stopped by James Jones, the night watchman of the establishment. The prisoner was then wearing Gibson's coat, and Jones took it from him. The remainder of the Stolen property had been delivered by the prisoner to a seaman named Duncan M'Callum He also left 3s. with M'Callum at the same time. On hearing of the prisoner's detention, the witness M‘Callum gave the money and property left with him to the day watchman, and appeared exceedingly indignant that the prisoner should have attempted to make a scapegoat of him for the concealment of the property. Gibson and Macdonald identified their property, which had been taken out of their chests. The prisoner, in defence, said he was drunk yesterday, and did not know what• he was about, nor did he want to say anything. Mr. Woolrych—Drunkenness is no palliation of crime. You have stolen those things from your fellow-lodgers, and a most scandalous robbery it is. You are sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour for unlawful pos session of the property. CASH Box ROBBERY.—George Curtis, porter and sta bleman, aged 26, was brought before Mr. Woolrycb., charged with stealing a cash-box containing £ll and some foreign coins, the property of Mr. Wm. Mundy, grocer, of No. 1, Hereford-place, Commercial-road East. On Saturday evening last, about seven o'clock, the pro secutor deposited his cash-box in his counting-house at the bottom of his shop. It then contained £ll and some fo reign coins. At half-past eleven o'clock the same night the prosecutor went into the countinghouse for his cash box. It was gone. Mr. Mundy, three shopmen, and the prisoner were busily engaged serving numerous customers with tea, sugar, and other groceries all the evening, and Mr. Mundy kept a look-out on every one who came in and went out at the private doorway in the New-i oad. After the cashbox was missed the prosecutor interrogated all the men in the shop, and they all said they had not left the premises at all between 7 and half-past 11 o'clock. The prisoner said he had shut the street door two or three times in the course of the night. The female servant said she had not been out since 10 o'clock, and then she took in the clean linen for the family of a laundress. She also stated that she heard the door open and shut two or three times between the time the cash-box was placed on the table in the counting-house and its being missed. The prisoner said he had no light in his stable on Saturday evening. This turned out to be untrue. There was a ,fight in the stable, which is at the end of the warehcuse, on Saturday night. It was also proved that at half-past 9 o'clock James Bean, a porter, was spoken to by a young man, who said he wanted to see the prisoner. Curtis left the shop, and was in conversation with the young man for a short time. lie had ample opportunities of removing the cash..box from the counting-house and delivering it to a confederate. On Sunday a chisel was found in the prosecutor's stable. The prisoner, who had the entire charge of the horse and stable, had been there on Sunday to look after and feed the horse. The cash-box was found in Anthony-street, St. George's in-the-East on Sunday night. It was empty, and had been broken open. The chisel found in the prosecutor's stable corresponded with the marks on the cash-box, and the japan of the cash-box, where it had been wrenched open, was found on the chisel. Police-sergeant Briden, No. 4K, searched the prisoner's lodgings yesterday, and found in a box £lO 2s. in gold and silver, and £1 10s. in gold on the person. Briden also discovered 10s. worth of copper moneys in the prosecutor's stable, to which the prisoner only had access. Mr. Woolryoh asked Mr. Mundy the wages he had paid to the prisoner. Mr. Mundy—Xl per week. Mr. Woolrych—ls he married or single ? Mr. Mundy—He is a married man. Mr. Woolrych said—lf the prisoner had stolen the cash box and its contents, be had probably converted a great portion of £ll in gold into silver, for £7 2s. of silver was found in his box. There was sufficient evidence to justify him in remanding the prisoner for a week. MARKETS---THIS DAY. MARK LANE. The fresh arrival of English wheat to this morning's market was small. Both red and white qualities, however, moved off slowly, yet no change took place in prices, com pared with Monday. The show of foreign wheat was large. Good and fine qualities were taken off to a moderate extent, chiefly by country buyers, at late rates, otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, at full currencies. The barley trade was very firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. In malt, a:very moderate business was doing. Choice qualities, however, realized extreme rates. Oats moved off steadily, and fine cora was somewhat dearer. Beans and peas changed hands at the very full prices of Monday. The flour trade was rather inactive, yet the quotations were supported. ARRIVALS THIS VirEIC., Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oata. Flour. 3ing1i5h........ 610 i I 1,230 ll3 1 260 saokr.

To the merchant Sun da y is the day for overhauling accumulated business matters, in some quiet corner of his own house, or taking a dose of physic which he could not spare the time to do on a week day. To the sempstress Sunday is the day for exchanging her decayed, cob-web coloured raiment, worn for six delving days, for the much coveted tulip-hues, to cheat herself into a brief work -day forgetfulness, and dream of a love-lit home, w h e re no harsh word may drive the blood fr om he r cheek, or cause her heart to stand still.

Mr. BERKELEY rose to move the second reading of this bill. He said he found himself on the present occa sion in the unusual position of asking the house to read the bill a second time. He was aware that there was a majo rity in that house against the bill, 427 being opposed to it, while there were only 330 gentlemen who had recorded their votes in favour of it. He had little hope, therefore, of the bill being passed in the present Parliament, unless the people outside the house took the question up with determination. He then pro ceeded to remove the load of dust and mass of cobweb which had been thrown in the eyes of the public, in refer ence to the question of the ballot. In the first plat), he complained of the attacks made in the lime:, and other portions of the press, on the question of the ballot, and the statements made relative to the division which had taken place when the question was last before the house. He said that eight metropolitan members, second to none in talent and position, were in favour of the ballot. Having cited a number of statistics, to show the necessity for the adoption of the ballot, the hon: member said there was no doubt a great deal of apathy in the house in regard to the question of reform. He was prepared to support an exten sion of the franchise, but at the same time ho reminded hon. members that he had always kept this subject from any connection with the reform measures that had been brought before the house, and which in some way or the ether proposed to make an alteration in the franchise. But, notwithstanding that, when the question of the ballot was mentioned, by a large class of politicians, re solution was , considered to b.) at the bottom of it. The civil war in America was quoted as an illustration of the failure of democracy, which he denied. A civil war was not a proof of the merit of domestic institutions, for the same might be said in regard to monarchy in this coun try, for there had been no less than three civil wars in this country within a comparatively short period. He utterly denied the notion that the ballot was in any way a com ponent portion of democracy. He contended that the bal lot was in reality a barrier between the usurpation of politi cal power whether of aristocracy, moneyocracy, or demo cracy. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY and Mr. NE WDE GATE opposed the bill. Mr. POTTS supported the Mr. LOCKE supported the bill, and referred to his con stituency in Southwark, who were in favour of the ballot, although no attempt was made by their employers to in fluence their vote. The house divided on the motion that the bill be read a second time. Ayes 126 Noes 2ll Majority —4s The announcement was received with some cheers, MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and re sumed at clause 45. Sir H. CAIRNS rose to move that the billbe withdrawn, as it was impossible to carry a measure of such magnitude through Parliament this session. He hoped a similar bill would be introduced next session, to which he would give all his support, After a short discussion the bill was withdrawn, and the house resumed. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Mr. LOCKE referred to the clauses which had been pro posed by Mr. Ayrton, which provided for the repeal of cer• tain sections of the act of the 18th and 19th of Victoria, cap. 120, which related to the election of members of the Me tropolitan Board. The clauses altered the constitution of the Board as regarded the election of members which it proposed to transfer to the inhabitants at large the selection of a representative on the board. Mr. TITE said that it would be very impolitic to disturb the constitution of the board, who were at present engaged in works of perhaps greater extent than any other city in the world. Mr. WILLIAMS agreed with the last speaker, and con tended that it would be most undesirable to transfer the elections of members to serve on the Metropolitan Board to so large a a constituency as that proposed by the hon. and learned member for the Tower Hamlets (Mr. Ayrton). He maid that he had never heard any complaints against the Metropolitan Board. Sir J. SHELLEY said that he was surprised to hear the hon. member for Lambeth state that he had never heard any complaint against th© Metropolitan Board, what had been called a board of " words" irstead of " works." He did not agree in the censure that had been cast on the body, and he was ready to support them to the best of his ability. Me was desirous that the board should stand well with the public, and therefore he wished to see the principle of general election adopted, as proposed by his honourable and learned friend (Mr. Ayrton). The adoption of the prin ciple for which he contended would in no way affect the works which the board had in hand, and the present members would be secure of their office for three years longer. Sir J. GREY considered that an alteration of such im portance as that proposed by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets should not be proposed at the present stage of the bill, but embodied in a bill which could be fully dis cussed on the second reading. Lord J. MANNERS opposed the clauses. Lord PERM OY said direct election, no doubt, was very popular in theory, but looking at the subject from a prac tical point of view, he did not see the necessity for the alto • ration proposed by the hon. member for the Tower Ham lets. There was no application en the part of the public through their representatives in Parliament, or through any other source, for an alteration in the constitution of the Metropolitan Board. The members of this board were certainly a very well-abused body, still that abuse did not proceed from the people outside, but from members of that house. That body had been ac cused of talking too much, but he did not think the alters.- tion proposed would introduce any beneficial change in that respect. Mr. H. B. SHERID9 N . supported the clause. Mr, H. LEWIS said he had heard no dissatisfaction as regarded the constitution of the board by his constituency, and considered that the clause proposed to get rid of the bill by a side wind. Mr. AYRTON, in opposition to the clause, said it was contended that the principle of nomination was superior to that of election, an opinion that was peculiar to the Metro politan Board, and not shared in by any other body in the country. (Hear,) The board was entrusted with enor mous powers, and he thought it only just that, such being the case, the ratepayers should have a voice in the election of those to whom such powers were confided. The present bill extended these powers, and gave great authority in dealing with the comfort of the inhabitants. He did not wish to join in any outcry against the Metropolitan Board, but he could not help regarding the Thames Embank ment Bill as an indictment against the capacity of this board, for it transferred the power of dealing with that work from their hands to foreman bricklayers and masons. His object was to elevate the board from their degraded state, but if they preferred that state, he did not see why he should interfere with their state. It would be like throwing pearls before swine. (Laughter.) He would therefore withdraw his clause, with the understanding that he would introduce the subject again. The clause was then withdrawn. Mr. LOCKE moved a clause to follow a clause 109, the object of which was to provide for persons being enabled to applyto one of her Majesty's superior courts for the rehearing of compensation cases if parties conceived themselves aggrieved by the ruling of the assessor or other officers who presided at the hearing of these cases. He merely pro posed to extend the law that prevailed in other trials to these disputed cases of compensation. He ment ioned certain instances in which persons had been treate d very unjustly by assessors and were at present witho ut redress. Mr. TITE said that this clause would alter theexs ing law altogether and open a new source of liti gatio n. Sir J. SHELLEY said that if any alteration were made e to any extent, it ought to by general le g brought before the house in a clause wh ichinterfered not the Land Consolidation Clauses Ac t . creed butislationand with th which M rhLOCK E adno t beensaid ini th p a u t g i n f etdh h ou se a . e g ejustice of with the last The clause was then withdrawn. Mr. LEWIS moved a clause enabling vestries to include the Metropolitan Board. in the sewers rate precepts of clause me. r epealed, and, in lieu thereof, be it was agreed to, and the clause was read a se condmoved the following clause :—" That the siaMthr.secCtiOoXn of the Act of the 18th and 10th of Victoria, The ti y try elected under the said Act in. any persons rated or assessed to the relief in respect of the occupation of of the poor tenements, or hereditaments in such parish." pariah eena cted,hap e r t a 2h l o l a, t c i consist n hh s e i e s rv t eebs of Majority jority ..........The.. c ommittee divided after some di scuss i on— For the clause ........................ 24 Noes 47 23 The clause was accordingly lost. ........... Mr. LOCKE moved the insertion of a clause renilering ineligible for the office of vestryman, or certain other paro chial offices, who should be receiving at the time e aty fee or emolument out of the parish rate or taxes. Mr, LAYARD objected to the clause that it mtould ex• AMMUNITION AND ARMS SUPPLIED TO THE SOUTHERN STATES OF AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, June 29. —A Knoxville paper of the sth Junes states that two vessels arrived at a Confederate port, one with 4,000 stand and the other with 3,500 stand of arms, and 100 barrels of powder ; and the next day two others arrived with arms and ammu nition, quantity not stated. These four and two others arrived on the Atlantic coast under convoy of the Nash ville (Confederate steamer). One of the latter is represented as having been captured by the blockading squadron off Wilmington, the remaining vessel and the Nashville were on the coast. June 30.—1 t was reported at Charleston that three steamers had reached Confederate ports, one of which was the Minho, screw steamer. The Nelly steamer tried to get in there, but was chased and forced to run aground, where she was under fire at long range. Her cargo was being brought off, and the vessel might possibly be saved. It was also reported at Charleston that the Cecil steamer, thence to Nassau with cotton, had been captured by the Federals. The screw steamers Cecil, Nelly, Kate, Nassau, Stettin, Minha, Mina, Cambria, and Eliza sailed from Nassau on the 23d of May, and four of them have been captured. DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT EASTERN FOR NEW Youx.—The Great Eastern yesterday left Liverpool for New York with a large number of passengers and about 1,800 tons of fine goods. A great number of people assem bled on the landing stages and elsewhere to witness her de parture. The Great Eastern is likely to absorb a very large amount of the passenger traffic between Liverpool and Ame rica. The directors have adopted the return ticket system, and this advantage, coupled with the superior accommoda tion afforded on this gigantic vessel, are already beginning to sap the trade of the other transatlantic boats, and num bers of people who have formerly been in the habit of pa tronising other steamers take berths in the great ship. EXTRAORDINARY SCHEME OF A CONVICTED FORGER —Colonel J. Buchanan Cross, one of the most accomplished forgers in America, was convicted of forgery about the commencement of last June, in Philadelphia, and was sent to the Eastern Penitentiary for five years. About two days afterwards the United States' marshal, Millward, of that district, received a letter purporting to come from Mr. P. H. Watson, Assistant-Secretary of War, enclosing a petition for the pardon of J. Buchanan Cross. That letter set forth that Cross was wanted to be used on special business by the War Department, that he was to be sent South, and that his pardon was very desir able. The marshal was directed to obtain the signatures of the District Attorney Coffee, Postmaster Walborn, and Collector Thomas to the petition, and to take it to Harri sonburg for the consideration of Governor Curtin, of Penn sylvania. He was specially enjoined not to communicate en the subject with any of the local authorities, nor to en trust the business to a subordinate, but to bring Cross to Washington himself. The marshal had a knowledge of the handwriting of the Assistant Secretary of War, which the letter appeared to be in, and the envelope and paper upon which it was written were the same as used in the War-office, and the letter itself had come from Washington under the frank, as supposed, of Mr. Watson. Marshal Millward speedily obtained the signatures of the district attorney and collector, but Mr. Walborn, the postmaster, had left the city. The same day he set out for Harrison burg with the letter and petition, which he laid before the Governor. He found that the Governor had received a letter similar to the one he had with him, purporting to be from Mr. Watson, and requesting, by order of Secretary Stanton, the pardon of Cross. The Governor immediately directed the pardon of Cross to be made out. The marshal then returned to Philadelphia, and, with the depatY-mar shal, rode to the prison and presented the pardon . the to the warden, much to his surprise.

STATISTICS OF CITY TRAYFic.--The citizens themselves have, generally speaking, but a faint idea of the moving mas s o f humanity out of whi c h the trade of the City is fed, and its pavements kept in c ease l ess wear and v ib r ation. In May, 1860, it was ascertained that, during cite day, 57,765 vehicles entered the City, the vehicles contained 171,086 persons. There were, in addition, 535,535 foot passengers, making a total of passengers amounting to 706,621. Three years ago, the Police Com missioner stated that the number of persons coming into the City every day amounted to not less than half a mil lion. Two years ago it is evident that they had increased to nearly three-quarters of a million. At the present time, the number has probably reached far beyond a million, and the greater part of these have to thread their way through ; a few leading thoroughfares just wide enough—and nothing to spare —to give safe passage to one of the old fashioned stage waggons. On the same day in May, 1360, when the above-named totals were obtained, the passengers that passed across the bridges, numbered at Blackfriars, 38 , 9 35 ; London-bridge, 84,927 ; Southwark, 3,340 ; Ald gate had 55,122 ; Chancery-lane, with just breadth enough for the swing of a cat, had 20,650 ; Finsbury-place, 38,084 Holborn.bars, 77,704; Minories, 21,779; Smithfield-bars, 28,842; Sun-street, 13,760; Temple-bar, 50 ,674.—City Press. THE ROCKALL FISHING COMPANY.--A letter received from Westray, and dated the 19th inst., records the success of the Number One sent to Rockall by the Fish, Oil, and Fish Manure Company. She had just arrived. She had met with very rough weather all the time she had been out, and had only had five days fine enough to permi t of fi s hi n g at all. She had brought about eight tons 0 0 which, considering the weather, was far from being fish ," isble, to draught. They were to be got out as soon allow the vessel to return, plenty• of the letter Rockall. If the weather improves, the writer as there is aspo of fish at believes he will have a wonderful account to give of the neat visit of the Number One to the fishisg ground. 10 I xd AND STOCKS of each separate Year. 103 105 120 123 130 133 81 83 103 105 02 95 103 105 101. 10/ 103 105 10i 10,1- i pr 4pm pr ipm, given half-: subsequent MINES. 3.9.3 4 4i 2 3} 5 6 40 42 1 I 330 840 3 31 110 115 3$ 84 11 11 11 111 12 13 321 816 240 250 90 95 35 45 11 la 101 Ili 10 12 12 14 1.14. f 3.0.0 7.10.0 561 178 6.15.0 8.12 4.14 1.111 9Z -4.3.0 22 24 430 440 42 44 44} 151 174 t 8 41 5i 16 18 4} 5 df 71 8f 37 39 21 3f 42 44 9; 101 4g 41 5.11.6 1 18.1 , 4A;i 28.9.

The following are the orders of the day issued by Gen. Lorencez after his movement of retreat : " Orizaba, May 21. " Soldiers and Sailors,—Your march on Mexico has been checked by material obstacles which you must have been far from expecting, after the infor mation which had been given you. You had been a thousand times told that the town of Puebla was anxious for your approach, and that its inhabitants would press round you to cover you with flowers. It was with the confidence inspired by those deceit ful assurances that we presented ourselves before its walls ; but that place was full of barricades, and commanded by a fortress, in which every means of defence had been accumulated, Our field artillery was insufficient to breach the walls, a siege battery became necessary. We did not possess it, confident in your intrepidity, you, without hesitation, rushed forward on the fortifications defended by artillery and by a triple range of musketry, while on flanks you had to support the efforts of several Mexican battalians and of a numerous cavalry. You did what French soldiers alone know how to do, and the most advanced of you reached the very walls of Guadaloupe, when a torrential rain deluged the ground, rendered the steeps inaccessible, and made it impossible for us to renew the attack. Soldiers and sailors! you gave proof on the sth of May of the most heroic courage, and the enemy became so well acquainted with you on that day that, during I your retreat from Puebla to Orizaba, although you were embarrassed with a convoy of more than 200 carriages, they did not dare to attack or even to annoy Y Palmar a party of 22 Mexica n cava l ry laid °n-A down t their arms before a corporal and four privates of the African Chasseurs. At Aculcingo, the cavalry of General Marquez found itself cut off on the 18th by the army of Zaragoza, debouching from the Cumbres. The second battalion of the 99th Regiment of the line marched from Ingonio with a Si ction of mountain artillery to release the cavalry. They rushed on the enemy with such vigour that they captured a flag, and led to the dispersion of the army of Zaragoza and the surrender of 800 infantry and 400 cavalry. The battalion of the 99th, under Commandant Lefebvre, covered itself with glory at Aculcingo. Soldiers and sailors, your feats of arms since your departure from Cordova, on the 19th of April, until your return to Orizaba, on the 18th of May, and the difficulties you have had to sur mount, will be judged of and appreciated by the Emperor, and be assured that his Majesty will re. cognise by noble testimonies your valour and your devotedness. Vive l'En2perour ! " COUNT DE LORENCEZ." A second order of the day is as follows ; " Orizaba, May 22. " After having addressed to the troops who fought during this short but fatiguing campaign the praises which their courage and good spirit so well merited, the General Commanding-in-Chief is desirous of giving a special testimony of his satisfaction to the whole of the administrative services, and of thanking the medical officers for their zeal and devotedness. It was in the thick of the combat, where the fire was the warmest, that the wounded were received, attended to, and com forted. During the marches, in the midst of the greatest embarrassment and difficulties, distribu tions of every kind were made as regularly as in time of peace. The Mexican expedition has offered the unique spectacle of an army making a retrograde movement in perfect order, carrying with it a month's provisions in 250 carriages. A great part of those results must he attributed to Military Sub- Intendent Raoul, who, in the organisation of all the administrative services, united to great superiority of mind the most remarkable activity. He met his death on the sth of May. To the inheritance of glory will be added for his family the esteem and regret of his Commander-in-Chief and of the army. Count DE LORENCEZ." AFTER THE BATTLE BEFORE RICHMOND. In a swamp we found eight bodies of Alabamians close together, and in such a horrible state of de composition that hardly a man saw them without turning away his head. Their clothes were on, but their bodies were so swoolen that they fitted as tightly as the skin itself. In several cases the flesh had already been eaten off by vermin and the head and skull were bare. It was a disgusting scene, which some people might have seen with profit. I saw one body, which was evidently that of a rebel officer. His clothing was rather better than that of the large majority we saw, and other indications of rank were numerous. He lay concealed behind some brush, and had evidently been wounded, sought its shelter, and there died. The limbs were contracted, but upon the face there seemed to rest a placid smile. One hand held on to a fence rail near by, while the other was extended upon the earth. Like all the rest, the body was s wollen to twice its natural size, and millions of vermin were fast devouring it. Calling some scouts, a grave wag dug, and the decaying flesh was consigned to its last restingplace. Another body was found sitting on the ground, the back braced against a fence. The skin was peeling off the hands, and hung down from the fingers in shreds. One hand rested on the musket the contents of which had been discharge d . The head dropped to one side, and the f e atures were of a fearfully contracted,evidencing a dying B t r u 1 gg most painful nature. In his vest pocket th ere was a me to read it, piece of paper, and curiosity prompted it, There was some scribbling uponthe distinguish ing words being " Eight Ala. will never yield." "No,Sir, never." Then some Po etical lines, of which, succeeded in deciphering amid the blood and d irt, I sue the following: — on the field f' 6 , suppose w e die up 'Twill prove that never will we yield; 'Twill show t he foe that like a flood We'll pour, for Southern rights, our blood." A curiosity-seeker might have collected a bushel of letters in these words so full of horrors, but I bad not the heart for the task. To show how desperate was the struggle in the heavy woods between Casey's and Ward's Camps, I have spoken of the bullet marks on the trees, of the doad and of their effects, everywhere seen. Another indication was the clothing, yet hanging upon low tree branches, fences, and lying on the ground. An officer engaged in the battle tells me that when we pursued, on Sunday, the retreating which on Saturday they drove us, a desperate en counter ensued. Hundreds of men on both sides threw off their superfluous clothing, and went in, as we are told the 69th did at Bull Run, stripped almost to the waist. Those who had the opportunity placed their coats where they could be preserved; others, with no time for that, threw them on the ground, and lost them with their lives. Within a space of two acres there are ungathered arms enough to supply a New York militia regiment. In that small space 600 men were sent to their long account. Speaking of the hospital at this station reminds m; that our men yet find wounded men in the woods. Yesterday two or three were discovered under 8 . 0 knee brush.
