Capt. Edward NJ. Davis, a mem,

by the direct order of Gen. Fremont
for blankets. They were examined
by board of army officers, consist.

kets were found to be made mostly OF
cotton, and to be rotten and worthless.
Notwithstanding this decision, the y

and wounded soldiers in the hospital.
Among the supplies sent by Gen.
Fremont to the army now in the field,
may be enumerated 500 half barrels,
to carry water in a country where
water is abundant, and 500 tons OF

brick foundations and brick outer

Terrible Scenes at Edwards Fer

In giving an account of the late ter
r;ble disaster at Edwards Ferry, the
Columbus Journal thus speaks of tie

The only scow that could be found
for transporting either the advance or
the fugitive, sank beneath its burden
ofthe wounded, and foundered with
its precious freight. What pen can
depict the horror Of that scene Of dis.
may | Fancy its aggregate OF woe
the description given by a witness Of
this awful drama: .
A most painful scene transpred at
the sinking of the launch, in which
were some sixty wounded men, and
twenty or thirty members of the Cali
fornia first. The launch had been safe.

when. to their utter CONSERVATION, it
was discovered that it was leaking,
and the water gradually, but surely,
gaining upon them. The wounded
were lying at the bottom Ofthe launch
some shot in the head, others man.
gled By the tramp of cavalry, and 9TH
ers suffering intolerably from their
various dislocations, wounds and in.
iuries, and all soaking with water
which at the start was fully four inca-
es deep. AS the water grew deeper
and rose above the PROSTATE forms Of
the wounded, their comrades lifted
them into sitting postures that they
might not be etrsngled by the fast ris
ing stream. But it is said that the
groans and cries, screams and moan.
ings OF the poor fellows who were thus
tortured were most distressing and in.
describable. Despite all that could
be done the fate OF the launch, and all
that were in it, with the exception Of
a few expert swimmers, was sealed;
suddenly and like flash of lightning
the rotten craft sank, carrying with it
at least fifty dying, maDgled, groaning
sufferers, and some twenty or thirty
others who had trusted their lives to
its treacherous hold. The imagina-
ton revolts a. the dreadful vision
which rises before it; as were seen
the vain attempts of the drowning to
keep their aching heads above the lev.
el of the water; as the long lines Of
bleeding, crying men became con.
fused mass Of CORY bodies, struggling,
the stronger with the weaker, for some
place where for little while yet they
might be secure from the dreadful but
impending fate; as the well, forgetting
their brothers in their anxiety ior self
preservation, rushed frantically from
end to end Of the launch, fearing to
