Rebel BarbartEtes-aOxv our VVeSamd-
- ed are Butchered,
A detailed account of some of the atroci-
ties practised BY the rebels on our wounded
left on the field at the battle at Manassas, is
given by correspondent of the New York
Tribune, which more than establishes all
the charges heretofore published, and goes
to show that the murder Of the wounded
was ar order Of the Commander, and that
determination was their purpose
Lieut. s. R. Elliott of the 18th Regiment
N. z. 9. H., (Highlanders,) was standing
near Col. Cameron, of his regiment, when
the latter was struck by shot and fell NOR
tally wounded. The Lieutenant and others
instantly ran to the fallen officer. Elliott,
with twelve men ofthe 5th and 10th compan-
les of his regiment raised the Colonel. and
started to bear him OF the field. No sooner
was this group of men discerned by the
field telescopes of the enemy, than they
were made target for an entire battery of
rihed cannon and number of infantry
The shots struck on every side of them, be-
ing aimed with great precision, and they
were soon covered with dust thrown over
them by the flying balls. Finally, a shell
thrown by a rifed cannon battery struck in
the centre of the group, exploded, and kill
ed Eve men of those who were bearing the
dying Colonel. The battery continued to
play on them until they were out of range,
but they escaped without further serious
casualties.
Lieut.. Elliott says the shots W hich struck
near them, were not the chance shots Of a
general engagement, but we're aimed at
them especially-they were discovered by
the field-glasses of the rebels, and then the
guns were aimed directly at them, and play
ed on them until they were out of range
and with what murderous effect has been
stated.
There was no possibility of mistaking the
nature of this group, or their humane er-
rand. The rebels saw a number OF men
bearing from the field a wounded officer,
aud instead of Withholding their FIRE, in
variably the practice of civilized foe, they
scisnti6cally took the exact range of the
retreating group. and brought a whole
battery to bear On them, killing nearly half
of them before they had succeeded in plac
ing their dying Colonel in place of safety

parallel to the atrocities Of the traitors

fact that they bayoneted the wounded and
dying, mangied the dead, fred upon Sur.

after the preparation of such deeds, the
leader and instigator of such villainy has
the hardihood to announce to his deluded

For all these atrocities the South must
