GALLANT OF THE ARKANsAs BOYS.
The correspondent Of the Petersburg Err

Another soldier who was in the light, and
near the Zouaves, says the Arkansas regiment
literally cut the "pst lambs" to pieces. Some
of them had their heads entirely severed from
their bodies, and others had their skulls cleft
from the top down to the neck, laying them
wide open and exposing to view the blood and
brains. From the clothing Of one was taken a
beautiful gold medallion, containing the likeness
Of a female Of rare beauty; also a 50 Massa-
chUsetts note, a 81 Maine note, and several
ether articles of trifing value.
INTERESTING INCIDENTS.
One Of the most interesting incidents OF the
battle is presented in the case Of Wylie P.
Mangum, r., son Of ex-senator Mangum, Of
North Carolina. This young man was at
tached to Col. Fishers regiment, I believe, and
owes the preservation Of bis life 10 a copy Of
the Bible presented him By bis sister. He had
the good book in his left coat pocket. Il was
struck BY a ball near the edge, but the book
changed the direction Of the bullet, and it
glanced OF, infieting a severe, tut not dan
geTous desl wound. The book was saturated
with blood, bur the advice written on a hy-leaf
BY the sister who gave it, was perfectly Iegj-
bic. 1t read thus: "To ny brother. He
will read a portion Of this blessed word every
day, and remember his sister,
ARRIVAL OF THE DEAD.
The Richmond Examiner of the 25sh saws
A special train was started from Manassas
Junction yesterday morning, frsigbted win
over two hundred of our wounded troops- who
had been struck in the late battle. They we're
distributed at the various stopping places along
the line OF the railroad, in the neigbborbooC Of
their homes, and a number were transferred to
the train going westward toward Staahton.
Between thirty and forty were brought on TO
this city and properly cared for and disposed
Of BY the relief committee.
H NEW YORK EouAvEs.
Two ears in this train were appropriated 70
the transportation Of wounded Yankees. TWEEN
ty-three IN number, the majority Of whom be-
longsd to Ellsworth Fire Zouaves. There
were among them, however, a great variety oF
uniform. One fellow, with bright red p3Dts
and a blue Jacket, told Us be belonged 20 the
l4th regiment of New York militia. Thew
were all wounded in the most horrible manner.
and as their wounds bad received no attention.
they were in a truly pitiabls condition.
lhelr friends having run of and deserted
them, they had lain on the field lust where
their injuries were received until picked no 5v

busy attending to our own wounded. their
eases were, OF necessity, postponed tin after
their arrival in this city. The most OF them
mad been shot in the lower extremities. One
fellow had both his legs crushed. and several
had one leg broken. One OF the Zouaves Dre-
scented a most dreadful spectacle. Aride BAH
had entered Just below his right eye. His
whole face and head were so sweIIe6 and dis
tOrted by Inflammation that it is no great
stretch OF language to say that 0his own
m~otherwould not have known him.o
From another OF EilswoFth's zouaves, whose
left leg had been shattered by a musket built.
but who seemed at the time to be suffering
little pain, We derived considerable Informal
ton. He is a very intelligent fellow, and dis
posed to talk. He told US that there were not
ten zouayes in the regiment who did not rejoice
when Ellsworth was killed; that be was one
OF the most brutal and tyrannical men that
ever lived; that be never Issued an order with
out accompanying it with an oath or a kick.
He also said that the southerners had done
great Injustice to EllsWorth's and DURYEA'S
~zouaves, by supPOsing thsm to be composed OF
the same material as Billy Wilson's espet

On inquiring at what time during the action
he WAS hurt, and by what regiment the Zouaves
we're opposed, be said be had been wounded du-
ring the second hour Of tie battle, and was cap
tured by and carried to the rear Of the d reg
iment OF the South CaroliniaBs. This rsgi-
ment it was, lie reports, that snnihilated the
LouaVes. He said be had been but a few mo.
ments behind the South CarolinianI before be
was fully convinced that the Yankees could
never whip these people.
He says that no description could do Justice
to the GOODNESS and nonehalance OF the Palmet-
tos during The most terrible carnage Of the
hight. He says that as the wounded fell and
were borne 20 the rear, though they, in many
cases, must have been suffering agony. thew

psned, and they were in the midst Of peace and
security.
One dsmure looking fellow seemed 70 think
his fate an lncOmmOnly hard one, as the mo-
ment he arrived on the field, before be had even
cooked his gun, a bullet struck bin full in the
belly, and passed entirely through him.
These men were carried temporarily to Har-

HERoIsM OF GEN. BEE.-This corrsspoad-
ent Of the Charleston Mercury speaks as fol-
lows of this gallant officer:
TIE lame Of the officer deserves a place in
the highest niche Of fame. He displayed a
gallantTy that scarcely has a parallel in bisto-
r. The brunt Of the mornings battle was
sustained by bis command until past two
O'Clock. Overwhelmed By superior numbers
and compelled to yield before a FIRE that swept
everything before it, General Bee rode I'd and
down his lines, encouraging his troops By ev-
cry thing that was dear to them, to stand
up and Tspel the tide which threatened them
with destruction. At last his own brigade
dwindled 10 a mere handful, with every field
officer killed or disabled. He rode up TO Gen.
Jackson and said General, they are beating
US back.o
The reply was, "Sir, wen give them the
bavouet.o
Gen. Bee Immediately rallied the remnant OF
bis brigade, and his last words to them we're,
There is Jackson standing like a stone wall.
Let Us determine to die here, and we will con.

he had never seen such gallantrv. He never

consoled by the reflection that be was dong
his duty.
