! A MurINY AMoSG TuE UNION TRooPs AT
| WAsHiSGroS- MCCLELLAN SHOT AND
| MoR1ALLY WoUSDED.-We have received
| information from reliable source, in re-
+, gard 10 the reported slaughter of Federal
| troops at Washington. It appears that
/ four regiments were required to change
! their arms, whereupon they mutinied and
| General Mcclellan surrounded them with
five regiments. a melee with stones and
/ and brickbats then commenced, and. TO
/ quell the riot, Mcclellan gave the order to
| FIRE. The slaughter is said to have been
| fearful. Surely the Lincolnites have COM
mcnced the work of blood and carnage
among themselves. A report is in circu-
lntion that Mcclellan has since been shot
and mortally wounded, but this lacks con-
frmatiou.
