Col. De VlLMERs.-This gallant
soldier, the tutor of Ellsworth in the
Zouave drill, who recently effected his
escape from Richmond, resides neal
Munston in this state. On Sunday last
he visited his family. The editor OF
the La Crosse Republican who GEN
vcrsed with him gives the following ac-
count of his recent adventures:
He was Col. of the Ohio IL Regi-
mcnt but has recently been promoted
to q Brigadicr Generalship. He was
taken prisoner and kept at Richmond,
from which place he escaped by swim
ming the james river. After his es-
cape, he diguised himself as poor
cri ippled, half blind mendicant, and re-
turned to mond, where he actual
ly begged pennies from Jeff. Davis and
other rebel magnates. After 4 thor
ouch reconnaissance of the Richmond
army and Notifications, he swan James
river the third time, and reached Wash
ington safely, when he laid before Gen.
Scott and Gen. Mcclellan valuable in
formation.
Col. De Nilliers was offered an I'M
portant command in the southern ar
my, but he told Jeff. Davis that since
he left France several years ago, to
become citizen of the United States,
he knew allegience only to the flag Of
the Stars and stri pes.
He told Gen. Davis that he was as
tonished that a soldier of his exper-
ieHce and reputation should cause or
permit prisoners of war to be treated
with such cruelty as the Northern sol
dicrs experienced at the hands of the
Contederates. The ladies,(?) the fe-
male rebels at Richmond, treat prison
ers with the vileSt insolence, such as
splitting in their faces, and applying to
them the most insolent epithets. Gov.
De Villiers says that much hard work
yet remained to be performed before
the government will crush out the re-
beIlion, but that the desired object Will
be achieved.
