" THE FORCE SURRENDERED.

" As soon as Jackson returned from the village,
our entire force (11,500) was mustered on Bolivar
preparatory to stacking arms. and delivering over
generally. The artillery taken comprised the fol-
lowing :—Twelve 3-inch rifled guns, six:James's, six
24-Ib. howitzers, four 20-lb. Parrott guns, six 12-lb.
guns, four 121 b. howitzers, two 10-inch Dahlgrens,
one 50-Ib. Parrott, six 6-lb. guns, and several pieces
of Fremont's guns' of but little value. Seven of
the whole number were thoroughly spiked. But
few horses were taken, the cavalry having secured
most of them. The Commissary Department com-
prised six days' rations for 12,000 men. This em-
braces nearly all the Government property which
was surrendered.

" Soon after the place surrendered, companies
despatched for that purpose proceeded to hunt out
all the negroes in the village from their various
hiding places, and start them off in a drove toward
Charlestown. It was a pitiable sight, the woe-
begone expression which rested on the countenance
of these poor unfortunates. Many of them were
free negroes, but a general clearing out of this
paradise of niggers must be made.' They attempted
to seize the negroes which belonged to the various
regiments. I overheard the severe verbacastigation
which one of the officers of the Garibaldi Guard ad-
ministered to a burly Georgian who had laid hold
of his coloured servant to carry him off.
The Commissary stores and other property seized
were hurried out of the town as fast as possible, in-
dicating fear of an attack from our forces near by.
" Owing to a thick mist which hung over the
mountain the artillerists failed to see the white flags
for some time after they were displayed, and con-
tinued throwing shell, whereby six were killed.
Colonel Miles was fatally wounded by one of them.
He had ridden back and forth on the field, a target
for the enemy, but fortunately met with no mishap
until then. While standing with his Aide-de-
Camp, Lieutenant Benning, on the left of Bolivar
Heights, waiting for his horse, the balls fell thick
around him. Turning to Lieutenant Benning he
remarked ' Well, Mr.Benning, the ball is over. We
have done our duty; but I don't under-
stand why the rebel cusses keep shelling us.'
Just then a piece of shell which burst close
by, took away a portion of his left calf. He
immediately fell exclaiming, "My God! I believe
lam hit.' His aide immediately called upon Capt.
Lee, of the 126th New York, who came to his assist-
ance with some men ; and while they were bearing
him off the field another shell burst, taking off the
colonel's hat and severely wounding Capt. Lee in
the thigh. Col. Miles was conveyed to his head-
quarters in an ambulance, assisted by Mr. M'Kee,
and Dr. Ferguson, of the Bth New York Cavalry ;
Dr. Barr, of the 12th, and Dr. Boone, of the Ist
Maryland Horse Brigade, attended him during the
day. He remained insensible most of the time, not
reviving sufficiently to allow of amputation.
" Through the kindness of Lieut. Benning, who
sat behind him, constantly holding his hand in his,
I am permitted to copy from his memoranda some of
the expressions which the dying colonel uttered
during the day while his mind was wandering,
They are valuable, if for nothing more, as showing
how cruel the insinuations which have constantly
been thrown out against his loyalty. Oh, where
is Gen. M'Clellan ? Why don't he come forward
and save me ? Major, is our artillery at work ? I
have done my duty, and can die like a soldier.
Don't let my staff leave me. Go on, go on ! I wish
I could be in every place at once. Stop them,' re-
ferring to stragglers from their regiments.
" In the latter part of the day his mind still con-
tinued to wander to the battle-field, and he kept
constantly cheering on his men, calling them to stand
where they were. Again he asked, Oh, where is
M'Clellan ? Captain, we are hard pressed, but my
orders are to hold on the last ; my ammunition is
gone ; where is our army ? Darn Col. Ford ;he has
lost the heights. Oh, must I surrender ? They
made a target of me. All right, all right ! Give
them every shell—every shell. When we can do
no more, I can do no more. Five days' cannonading
heard at Baltimore and elsewhere, and yet no as-
sistance.' Expresses a wish to see Gen. White.
I am an old soldier ; Gen.Whitu will not forget me
at head-quarters. I know also my staff, Mr.Benning
!
Jr. Hellman, and Major M'llvaine also. I can
bear this. G.
