OrrERY1LLE. iTn. Dec

OTTEBYILLE, NO. Dec. o.
learned yesterday that among the pris-
oners, taken 10y Gen Pope last Thurday was
the notorious Col. Magoffin, of Georgetown.
No. About Two weeks ago Col. Magofin
sent word 10 the commanding officer that
his wife was dangerously sick, and begged
10 be permitted TO see her ere she died. He
was informed that If he would give his parol
as q prisoner of war his request would be
granted. He did SO, and went home, but
the next thing that was heard of him was
that he commanded the whole force which
defended the forage that Col. Davis carried
by assault-that he fed with his party, and
was not taken until some time after the rest
Of the rebel force had surrendered, and In
consequence OF the darkness of the night
he was not recognized until the next day.
It seems that Col. Magoffiu, having visited
his home and arranged his affairs, sent
messenger recalling his parol, but, instead
OF surrendering himself as officers usually
DO, he left, and before his messenger reached
Sedalia, was IN the rebel army, and when
the fight came off feeling that he deserved
and would pfobably receive different treat
ment from those who had not forfeited all
right to be treated as prisoners of war,
fought desperately but unavailingly. Gen.
Pope refused TO accept his parOl and ordered
him to be placed IN confinement until Gen.
Ealleck decided what disposition to make
of him. He is one of the most desperate
and unscrupulous OF the marauders in this
section, and it is to be hoped that he win
receive the punishment his crimes and the
forfeiture Of his parol deserves.
sT. LOUIS, Dec. %.
Gen. Halleok has Issued an order in
which he says any one caught in the act of
burning bridges, destroying railroads or
telegraphs will be Immediately shot; and any
one accused of this crime viii be examined
by military commission. ard if found
guilty shall suffer death.
Where injuries are done to railroads or
telegraph lines, the commanding officers of
the nearest post viii Immediately press into
service, for repairing damages, the slaves of
all secegsionists in the vicinity, and, If nee
essary, the -secessionists themselves and
heir property Any pretended Union man,
having information Of intended attempts TO
destroy such roads ard lines, OR ofthe guilty
parties, who does not communicate such in
formation to the proper authorities, and
give aid andassistanee in Furnishing them
will be regarded as pGrttcsps cTf1sfHis, and
treated accordingly.
Hereafter the towns and counties in
which such destruction Of property takes
place will be made to pay the expenses OF
al repairs, unless 1t be shown that the peo-
pie of such towns and counties could not
have prevented it on account Of the supe-
rior force Of the enemy.

There was nothing marked in addition to
this, by which we could tell whether their
death was sudden or lingering. 1t was
the color of the face. Ii the body had
time to become cool and quiet before
death. the corpse was pale, though not so
much SO as those who die from disease.
Those who were killed instantly, however,
and while heated aud excited, were purple
and black in the face. In such cases, the
blood being in full circulation, there wai
not time for it TO return TO the heart he

AT least, | suppose such is the explana-
ton, and a physician confirms me in it.
Such of the poor wretches us had been
buried were placed in long bitches or
trenches, some twenty or thirty in the same
trench or course it was impossible 10
procure collins or boxes for them. They
were laid away in the same attitude in
which they were found, and in which their
bodies had become stiff and rigid-oPp
with his arms aud legs stretched out

his hands raised, as described above. One

on his breast. Some had their hands
crossed and the whole body composed after
the manner of a corpse. a few were
found upon whom there was not the lenst
wound OF mark. Whether they had died
from sun stroke, OF from exhaustion, or
simple fright, it was impossible to say,
though probably it was from the first cause.
/ | was glad to see that most OF our own
dead had been buried upon the battle
ground-many of them where they had
f'llen. In some instance those belonging
to the same company or regiment were
gathered up and buried neat each other,
each little hillock being marked by At
board or stone with the name of the hero
cut upon it. What more fitting cemetery
could be found for the gallant dead than
the field which had been sanctified BY the
precious blood aud rendered forever i'm
mortal by their deeds of vnlorl can
sympathize with the tender sentiment that
would gather up the honored ashes of its
loved ones, and transport them for inter.

the far South; and yet can but admire
that stern patriOtism-if it may be tins
cnlled-which would prefer the torn and
bloody plains of Manassas to the proulest
mausoleum below the sun.

wder for the largest army they could

powder lOr lne largest army they coulu
raise.
Every time our troops have captured a
rehel stronghold, they have been surprised
at the completeness with which the enemy
was furnished. AT HatIeris they seem to
have had everything that 1t fort needs for
strong defense, except, perhaps, the nerve
to use their means In Western Yirginin
Garnett's men were fully supplied with
arms and ammunition of all kinds. Even
to such minuter hut still more important
details as the fittings of field artillery, they
are we'll supplied; and it is only in the
transport wagons, of which a great army
requires such an immense number, that
they seem to be deficient.
! II is still IL marvel, however, how the
conspirdtors got together such vast quau-
Titles of military stores as they possess.
They bought their arms from under the
very nose of the United States ofiieers.-
They came into the market as purchasers,
in rivalry with the very government they
were conspiring to destroy. There is little
doubt tlmit the government had in many
cases to wait, that the cOnspirHtors might
be first supplied. The letters we print be-
/ gin in January, and then the Southern
leaders seem to have been in the midst of
the hurry of reparatiOn--straining every
| nerve 10 DC reauy IN time To meet the new
Administration.
We find, by this correspondence, that the
Governor of North Carolina was actively
helping the conspirntors, at the very time,
in February, when the people of that State
gave a majority of sixty thousand votes for
the Union. We find that when the Gov
ernment would no longer permit military
supplies to be shipped directly to South
Carolina, Northern merchants were eau
toned to send their goods to Richmond
then pretending to be loyal city in loyal
State, whence they were sent further South.
Virginin was at that time acting the part,
so useful to the conspirators, which Ken
tucky has since taken-she was neutral
Lastly we fnd, from these letters, that
Northern men, some of them in the em-
ploy of The Government, were all this time
unscrupulously aiding the conspirators,
not only by selling them arms and ammu-
milton. hut by lending them their expert
ence, their knowledge, their machinery and
their models.

RICuNoND, Aug. y, 1861.

It commenced to rain early on Monday
morning-the day after the battle-and
continued to pour down in torrents all
that day and night. Tuesday the sun
came out, and it was very hot, as it was
on Wednesday, when made my second
visit to the field. All of our wounded
that could be found were cared for on Sum
day night, though many of them were ex-
posed to the drenching rain of Monday,
their tents not having arrived. This was
no disadvantage, however, as tue rain
served to keep down fever aud to prevent
modification.
On Monday our dead were burieds or
boxed up and sent home for interment, and
many of the enemyis wounded were brought
in aud attended to. All day Tuesday was
devoted to burying the dead ON the other
side, and yet the work had not been half
finished when / arrived on the field We'd

ly from the horses, that our men had been
compelled to suspend their humane labors.
did hear that some of the prisoners we
had taken were subsequently sent out sud
ordered to finish the work, which they did,
though reluctantly.
1t was sad sight-the battle field that
day. The euemy's dead still lay scattered
in every direction. aud the silent vultures
had begun to circle above them. They
were well clad, and were large and stouter
men than ours. Nearly all of them were
lying upon their backs, some of them with
their legs and arms stretched out to the
utmost. Many had their feet drawn up
somewhat, while their arms, from the
elbows, were raised, and the hands rather
closed, after the fashion of boxes. Il was
singular, aud yet the prevailing attitude.
Most OF them had sandy or red hair, aud
haze observed that this is the predominant
color among our own soldiers Those who
were net killed instantly had almost iuyari-
ably torn open their shirt collars, and
IooSened their clothing about the waist

We yesterday learned, from an authOri-
ty which guarantees its entire authenticity,
the su6joined interesting incident, which
took place on Monday last, about eleven
o'clock, in front of our lines on the PotO-
man, opposite this city:
While five companies of the 23d New
York Regiment were on picket duty, one
of their number advanced considerably
ahead Of his comrades, until he observed
man, who proved to be 81 Confederate
officer, beckoning with tue hand as if So
iiciting an interviews ePpFOachiR,
near enough to be heard the latter ASKED
if he could see the Captain of the couHne
ny to which the Federal picket BELONGED,
and on this fact beiag reported to Captain
Loyden, commanding one of tue comph-
nies of the 23d New York Regiment, he
directed response to be given in the aft
frmative, and Immediately proceeded to
meet the Confederate soldier. When the
two approached near enough to exchange
words Capt. Loyden stated what arms he
bore, and asked it the meeting was TO be
hostile. The Confederate soldier stated
that he was armed in like manner, but de-
sired only friendly interview. Captain
Loyden then advanced to meet the latter,
who intr roduced himself as Capt. Saunders,
Iof the l1th South Carolina Regiment.
The two captains thereupon engaged in
a familiar and friendly conversation, espc-
cially ON the subject of shooting pickris,
which they both deplored as contrary TO
the usages of civilized warfare, and which
Capt. Loyden informed Capt. Saunders
was contrary to the express order of his
Colonel, and all tue. Colonies in the Fed
ernl lines, who directed their men, when
OH picket duty, never to fire except in
self-defencc. Capt. Saunders next inqui-
red whether Captain Loyden was in re-
ceipt of any authentic intelligence respect
ing the capture of the forts at HntterHs
Inlet, report of which had reached
the Confederate troops stationed in Fair
fax county. Capt. Loyden having inform
ed Capt. Saunders that the intelligence
wasundOubtedly correct, the latter obsery-
ed that, if so, it was 'sa heavy blow" npOn
North Carolina and the Southern coast
generally. Capt. l.. replied that in n war
like this, between the Federal Govern
ment and the RevOlted States, it wus to lie
expected that many such blows would be
inflicted before the war was brought to an
end On parting the New York Captnin
tcndered to the SOnth Carolinian some ci-
gars for himself and his bother otIiceS-
that Southern luxury being, according 10
Capt. Saunders, rare commodity in the
Confederate camp. The two officers then
shook hands, aud after. exchanging sAlutes,
reversed their positions Ia mihtaire, and
proceeded to rejOin their respective COM
mands.
The reader will readily surmise that the
principal object proposed to himself by the
Confederate Captain, in seeking this inter
view, was probably to crafty his curiosity
respecting the "reportcd" capture of the
forts at Hatteras Inlet. ms the bearings OF
the event, IL true, might well excite solicit
tule on the part of South Garolinians.
