last night, taking with him many tokens OF

Major Ben Perley Poore teegraphs the fol

THE regular army officers defend General
Stone, and say that official documents will
show that he is not responsible for the disaster
although forgery and falsehood have been used
10 assail him. e"
These regular army officers" are probably
the same that have intrigued against General
Fremont, and who are so much more intent on
keeping volunteer officers in the background,
than in waging an effective war against the
rebels. II General Fremont had ordered that
disastrous movement, these regular army
officers" would clamor for court of inquiry
and insist on having him cashiered But il is
not true that all the regular army officers de-
tend General Stone, and those who do
st show nothing SO much as their own
about forgery" we suppose it is iutende'. to
discredit the Published orders of Gen. Stone

WOUNDED or THE FIFTEENTH The night
after the battle near Leesburg severely tested
the enduranes and capacity of the medical
officers Of tie regiments engaged in 1t. DR..
Haven Of the fifteenth, and DR.. Hayward of the
twentieth regiment, were the only surgeons
on Harrisop's Island to receive and care for
the wounded as they came across the river.
Darkness came upon them while they were
engaged in their humane labor, and the
wounded were huddled il and around the
only two houses ca the island. No lights
had been provided or could be found till
Surgeon Haven discovered twoi inches OF cand e
in an ok bottle, by the light of which Lieut..
Col. Wards limb was amputated. Some time
later lew candles were found in closet
which gave an impulse of light and ioy to the
officers in charge of the wounded men. The
doors Of the houses were used for litters and
the wounded were at early dawn conveyed 10

respective regiments.

To send more at present would be a positive

asking permission to search through the camn
tor three slaves whom he believed to have been
taken into the service of one of the Illinois
regiments. The General politely declined
saying he could not allow any one to examine

authority Of law, and then the applicant went
away. After he had gone, Fremont turned to

Camp Lincoln presented with fine horse and
equipments, by his friends connected with the

held by his associates, and to his three months
service with the Third Battalion Rifles. lie
said he hoped he would return home again
from the seat OF war, to the city OF his adOp-
ton, rot ONLY the heroic and brave, but the
victorious officer.
Adjutant Hardness responded in feeling and
appropriate terms, saying he regretted he did
not possess the gift Of speech sufficient to ex
press lis thanks for the gift. He expressed
| great satisfaction at his connection with the
| fire department, and said he had before had
occasion to acknowledge other favors, but now
on the eve OF his departure, perhaps forever,
he desired to acknowledge this as the most
acceptable of all, In mis- camp life, among his
most pleasant thoughts were the associations
Of his past life as fireman, and amid the din

OF the department were with him, would cheer

VS. iearn one fact in regard to Lieut.. Col.
Ward, which shonld be told. In the latter
part Of the week previous to the battle Of Balls
Bluff, he was sent to Washington on business,
and was not expected back until Monday night
But having presentiment that battle was
at baud, he hastened back SO as to make sure
of being IN it. He was in it, aud had his leg
shattered long before his furlough was out. 1t
is easy to see in this fact one reason why the
Massachusetts, fifteenth fought SO splendidly.
They were admirably led.
