RETURN OF WOUNDED SoLDIER.-Wil-
liam q. Butterteld OF Stoneham, a private in
Co. of the Sixth Massachusetts regiment
which was command by Capt. Dyke, arrived
in the city this morning. Mr.. Butterfeld was
wounded by ball through the leg in the
memorable passage Though Baltimore. He
managed with the aid of his comrades to 90
on with his company 10 Washington, and is
now able to walk about though the wound has
not healed. He was ordered home by the sur
geon of the regiment.
Mr. Butterfield states that when Col. Jones
gave him his discharge, he asked him if he
had any money to which negative reply
was returned. Col Jones cooy dismissed
him, with the remark that "that would be apt
to be hindrance to his getting home p' Sub.
sequently some of the officers of the regiment
applied to Col Jones for means to send Butter

Importance on his mind" 1t was for this and
other causes of complaint Ito which allusion
was made in DIR. Howe's report) that Col Jones
was burnt in etfigy at the Relay Station, as
has already been stated.
Fortunately young Butterfeld found friends
among the noble It'll regiment OF New York,
with which regiment he returned to that city.
