EWELL DIED OF HIS WOUNDS.
JACKSON GONE TO FREDERICK.
THIS MORNINGS REPORT.
FRnM WASHINGTON.

Asslstant-Surgeon Green, Of the 18th
Indiana, returned this morning from
Gainesville, where he has been since the
battle of last Thursday week, having re-
mained behind at that time to attend to
our wounded. Last Sunday our wounded
being in such bad condition, DR.. Green
started off to meet ambulances repairing
to their assistance under flag of truce,
and when within hailing distance wasmet
by General A. P. Hill, at the head Of his
division, who ordered him to return TO
Gainesville, where he remained prisoner
for three days After laying his case be-
fore General Walter who came into the
yard where the prisoners were kept, he
was unconditionally released.
DR.. Green furnishes the following:
When the battle was at its height on Fri
day, jackson being in command, the rebel
army heavily pressed by our troops, began
to waver and fail back, when the rumbling
of Lor gstreets artillery was heard coming
to their assistance, and instantly a shout
went up. 1t infused new life into the reb-
els, and when this reinforcement arrived,
at Friday noon they made fresh assault
upon our lines, dashing over the wounded
of the day previous, who were lying upon
the ground without any shelter whatever,
and many of whom were badly injured.
DR.. Green was informed by R. A. Pryor
brigade quartermaster, the report being
confirmed by other officers with whom he
conversed, that during the engagement on
Friday, General Pryor was captured by
our forces, and given in charge of guard
of one man, the rank Of Pryor not being
known, he being dressed like a private
He escaped by shooting the guard with
Derringer which he had concealed on his
person.
( Green confirms numerous reports rela-
tive TO the boasting Of the rebels, and says
they express confidence of being able to
get into Maryland, where they expect to
get so, 900 recruits. He also confirms the
report of the existence of much destitution
among the enemy, but attributes scarcity
of food to great difficulty Of procuring
transportation, their army being such a
great distance from their base of supplies,
This is the account given by the rebels.
From all appearances, the division Of
General Walker has left the scene of the
late engagement for Harper's Ferry.
No one seems to know anything of the
whereabouts of General Jackson, there be-
ing a studied silence in regard to him.
Gen. Lee has removed his headquarters
to position near Lecsburg.
DR.. Green was informed by Quarter
master that although many of the rebel
soldiers appeared without Shoes they still
had sufficient on hand, but as a matter of
economy they will not be issued until the
middle of this month
He says, also, the feeling is general
among the men that the war will soon be
ended and they say they will die before
they will yield in their determination to
be what they term an Independent nation.
According to their own estimate of their
numbers in the late series of engagements,
they have not less than one hundred and
twenty thousand men, with forty batteries
of field pieces, most of them being riAed
cannon.
DR.. Green reports the losses among the
rebels as very large.

From one of the Times correspondents
! who has just returned from Poolesville, we
learn that on Thursday night the rebels
/ commenced to cross with cavalry at or near
/ the mouth of the Moncacy. They brought
over two regiments of cavalry, and threw
over a pontoon bridge, and crossed with
artillery, throwing out pickets towards
Poolesville. On Friday about IL O'clock
a column commenced to cross of infantry
and artillery. They were crossing in three
places besides the bridge, the water being
up to mans waist. No resistance was
offered to their crossing. Some cavalry
who were watching them were attacked
and chased to Poolesville. There the houses
were closed, and the streets blockaded by
the citizens. The farmers fred upcn our
flying cavalry as they passed.
