WEDNESDAY EVENING, July q


Governor Banks passed through here this
afternoon on his way to the new command at
Harper's Ferry. AT the Relay station men,
bers of our company were on guard under
command of Sergeant Brown, and they gave
the general some old fashioned Massachusetts
cheers, which brought our old commander-in-
chief to the front and center" He acknow-
lodged the cheers, and told the boys that the
regiment should be discharged on the second
day of August. Therefore, "about those days."

be tough looking set of boys; but 10 matter

PENITENr PRIsoNERs.-Th day after Gen.
Mcclellan released his secession prisoners at
Beverly, bugler OF the federal camp went out
some distance from his companions, was fired
upon by two oil the released prisoners, and in
stantly killed. One ball took off the poor bu
gler's chin, and the other passed through his
head. He was thus murdered by the penitent
prisoners. The military authorities of the
United States have already too many news
paper advisers, and we have no disposition to
add ourselves to the list; but we venture to
say that it would be well, at least, to tie tue
prisoners up to tree with a piece of Irvine
until the war is over. They could be assuIed
that the Irvine meant no offense. A few tracts
might be judiciously distributed among the
more penitent, and they could be well fed and
politely approached. BY thus attending to
their physical and spiritual appetites, the pris-
oners would doubtless be as well satisfied as if
running at large Wheeling Inteaigmcer.

MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAILRoAD.--We are
indebted to H. E. Sargent, Esq, of the Mich.
igan Central Railroad, for a copy of the last
annual report of the directors, with which are
also reports of the treasurer, superintendent,
and trustees of the sinking fund, The fnan.
eial year of this company closes on the 3lst
day of May, and the treasurer's report herein
contained, gives an account of the business
during the time from May 31st, 1860, to May
81, 1861. There seems to have been an i'm.
provement on the previous year, and as the
property is owned chiefly in Massachusetts,, a
brief statement of particulars may be particu-
larly interesting to some of our readers.
The whole amount of receipts for the year
covered by this report was $2,048. 493; and
the whole amount of operating expenses, in
GLIDING taxes, was 81, 137, 724, making the net
earnings 1910. 1859, of which sum s6S4,82z

GUS year, and the amount received for freight

were increased $4,000 by the earnings from
special trains run to the Republican National
Convention at Chicago, and this accounts in
part for the large amount received for passen-
gers during that year.
The Michigan Central railroad is one OF the
very best and safest railroads in the country,
and there are but two or three others to be
compared with it in these respects. Its very
competent managers deal but little in useless
fancy york, but aim to have everything con
nected with the track, engines and, cars as
secure as possible. 1t was the only road on
which several apprehensive travellers could
persuade themselves to leave Chicago in sleep
ing cars, on a dark rainy night, after the Chi
cage convention adjourned; and this confidence
in the superior precautions for the safety o
travellers on this road is well deserved. A
the same time, the Michigan Central Railroad
forms part of the best and most delightful
route from New England to Chiceg go and thu
far west.

The following is an extract from private
letter of member of company G, lst regi-

CAMP SPRAGUE, July 22-Yesterday was
the most terrible day OF my lie. | can give
you no idea Of it. We had orders to move at
O'Clock Sunday morning, SO at that time,
with hard crackers and a cantecn of water Tor
rauons, we started from our camp near Fair
fax. 1t was Il beautiful sight, as our immense
column moved to the right to make flank
movement. We had marched about ten
miles, a. Mcdowell and staff passed As
he passed he said, Gin few moments you will
be in action" Soon we deployed in field,
followed by the list and New Hampshire reg
lments. We had hardly taken our posts on
the plain, when the pickets met and the firing
OF small arms began, the balls striking all
around us. Then up came our battery at the
rear, and disappeared. In a very few mo-
ments the shell came whzzing through the
AR over our heads, and next we heard our
pieces speaking in rapid succession. On the
right we saw our ID regiment deploying in
good order to the right, and delivering their
fire. We had not much time to look, for we
heard Burnside'S voice summonng us to "tor-
ward" and into the woods we marched,
" hen we reached the woods we were halted.
How the shell and shot did crash through the
trees. One ball struck in front of LIST platoon
and bounded over their heads; another struck in
front Of our platoon, and covered us with dust.
Soon from the hill above we saw Burnside
reckoning to us forward over the fence"
To the fence we went How the shot did drop
around us. We passed Major BaIlou lying
wounded by the fence. We found when we
reached the top OF the hill the Rlst lying ON
their stomachs Over them we went, and just
below the hill, within hundred rods Of MS,
the rebels were blazing away at u.s. We
opened upon them, when the cry was raised
that we were killing our own men. We then
turned 10 the left and directed our fire to the
bushes The list finding we were mistaken
about those in front being our friends, took our
old position, and together we drove them down
the hill, and concealed in the bushes they
