Some days since We republished state
meut from The English papers Of the ro-
cent defeat Of Russian army by the Cir
cassians, but the whole story was not told.
A correspondent Of the Levant Herold,
writing under date Of June %, says that
the whole number Of Russians capiives

blood by the Circassians We copy:
~ have another great Circassian victory
10 report About ten days ago the Rus
sian General Evidokimotf proceeded with a
strong column towards the valley inhabited
by the hostile Shapsus and Abasebs tribes
witha view TO devastate the whole. On
being apprised Of the enemy's approach, the
threatened population promptly moved off
with their cattlo and other moveables into
the mountains and called on other tribes
to rally to their assistance. This appeal
was speedily responded to and in couple
Of days such a force had assembled from all
sides as was thought sufficient not merely
to make stand against, but to attack the
Russians. This was accordingly decided
on, and as the fortress Of Hamkete, 10 the
neighborhood, was the chief source Of dan.
ger, dominating as it did the whole plain
an assault upon it was first resolved on.
Accordingly on the night of the 22d
inst. strong force, composed Of contin
gents from the Ubiks, Shapsus and Abasebs
proceeded under cover Of the darkness tC
the fort, and by rapid simultaneous escal-
ade 90 all Sides made good footing with.
in the walls. Whilst party Of these as
sailants engaged the surprised garrison, the
others opened the gates to their fellows
outside, and the wild murderous crowd
rolled in. As quarter is seldom or never
the fashion on either side in this war, none
was now given to the Russians, the whole
numbering, it is said, three thousand men
were butchered on the spot; and the morn.
ing broke on not living Muscovite within
the blood stained walls.
1.-THE fruits of this sufficiently savage vic.
tory were the capture Of large stores, Of
arms and ammunition, including several
valuable field pieces and mountain bowit-
zers. The large guns were all spiked and
after the place had been stripped of every
thing worth carrying off it was set FIRE to
and demolished. In the meantime, the
valley into which Gen. Evidokimoff had
lucklessly moved, was surrounded and all
the outlets from it closed by strong bodies
Of other mouDtaineers and the surrender OF
destruction of the whole attachment was
regarded (by the Circassians) as certain
when the bearer of this news left the scene
of action"

what one OF the Released Prisoners
Says.

Says.
Lieut.. Benedict of the 43d Excelsior Reg
iment IN. " recently released from SAILS
bury, N. G. Rebel Prison, is thus reported
in the Washington correspondence Of the
". y Tribune:
OF the available Uniouism of North Car
oiina Col. Benedict does not speak hope
fully. Unionists there are, no doubt. But
many of them have been forced into the
Rebel armies and will be made to fght.-
The election Of Col. Vance as Governor is
regarded as triumph of the army over the
civilian interest. Col. Benedict saw Vance
at Petersburg, where his regiment is sta
toned, and is Of the opinion that he was
hand and glove with the Rebel leaders.
Col. Benedict is another witness to the
shocking treatment Of the Union prisoners
Even at Salisbury where they fare the best
the bad food and close confinement is intoler
able. Four deaths occurred in the prisoI
a day, for considerable periods. At on
time twenty were driven crazy by their suf
ferrings but at Richmond the condition o
things was much worse.
Our sick and wounded soldiers in no con
dition TO be exchanged, with their fellow
were lying with no mattrass between then
and the bare f1oor with not blanket nor
sheet, and In some cases not even q shirt
to cover them, with no food but the wretch
ed army rations. Our exchanged officers
on learning their conditions, took sub
scription on their behalf and gave them
their blankets and surplus clothing.
Col. Benedict is eager, and in this he
says, be expresses the desire Of all who
came with him from Rebellion, TO get to
work again. He will command regimen,
if he can get one, if not, he will resume hi,
old position. He says, and in this, too
says that the others are with him, that the
harshest measures toward the Rebels arc
the best. Hs spurns couciliation, and cries
war TO the knife.
He believes in emancipation as a means
Of crushing the rebellion The slaves, he
says, are all our friends, show their friend
ship toward Union prisoners in all safe ways
and will be speadiIy heard from in response
10 an order Of freedom. He would use The
freed men in all ways in which they car
serve.
The eon6scation and Emancipation ac
is, in Col. Benedict's judgement, the mos
terrible sword the North has yet drawn
The Rebels vince at il as it stands on the
statue book, only executed in part as it Is
Similar views touching the true war policy,
all the exchanged officers, including Col.
CoFeoraD, and even Maj. Cassidy and Col.
CrockeF, are understood to hold.

Gov. Morton, of Indiana, has postponed
the draft until the 18th Of September. One

The Springfield Republic (Obio) has a
letter from Union soldier dated Murfrees-
boro', Tenn, Aug. 2, which says:
"How very annoying are the UDionists
sometimes to the purse-proud Rebels !
Those of Murfreesboro can re-echO this
complaint. A large amount of Govern
ment stores were in the warehouses at the
time of the Forrest raid. The warehouses
we're destroyed, and it was presumed by
those that reoccupied the town that the
stores were destroyed with them. But the
trustful slave, the faithful guardian Of his
masters honor and rights, his boast and
the stay of his pride, came to us voluntarily,
and told us that their respective masters
plundered the buildings, and secreted the
stolen goods in their own dwellings,, pre-.
vious to the warehouses being set on fire
More: they told US what articles each o
their masters possessed, and the exact hid
ing place. A search, which goes on almos
daily, and the recovery of Uncle Sam,
goods, is somewhat astounding and shock
,. ing to the pride of the aristocratic natives
