THE REBEL 0UTRAGES AT M
NASSAS.

The following important testimony rela.
tive to the Rebel outragcs at, and subsc-
qucnt to the battle of Manassas, was ELECTED
before the Joint Committee on the conduc,
Of the Present War
DR.. J. N. IIomiston, surgeon Of Tie Four.
tcenth New York or Brooklyn Regiment
captured at Bull Run, tostifics that when he
solicited permission to remain on tie field
a,d to attend to wounded men, some o.
whom were in helpless and painful condi.
ton aid suffering for water, he was brutal'y
/ refused. They offered him neither water
nor anything in the shape Of food. lie ard
his companions stood in The streets of Ma
nafFas, surrounded by threatening and
toisterOus crowd, and vas afterwards thrust
into an old building, and left, without sus-
tenaucc or covering. to sleep or the bare
floor. 1t was only when faint and exhaust
ed, in response to their earnest petitions, they
having been without food for forty eight
hours, that some cold bacon was grudging!y
given to them. The same witness describes
the fuGerings Of the wounded after the bat
tic as inconceivably horrible with bad food
no covering, no water. They were lying
upon tho floor as thickly as they could be
laid There was not n particle Of light to
enable us to move among them" Deaf to
all bis appeals, they continued to refuse wa
ter to these suffering men, and he was only
able TO procure it by setting cups under the
caves to catch the rain that was falling,
and in this way he spent the night catch
ing the water and conveying it to the
wounded. Some of our wounded" says
this witness. "wcre left lying upon the bat
tle-feld until Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning. The battle was fought on
Sunday. When brought in, their wounds
were completely alive with larva deposited
there by the flies, having laid out through
all the rain storm Of Monday, and the hot,
sultry sunshine Of Tuesday,
The dead laid upon tho field unburied for
five days. This witness testihes that the
rebel dead were carried of Immediately, and
inferred decently.
The case Of DR.. Ferguson testified to by
Or. Swain, Surgeon of the l4th N. Y. Reg
inent, is mentioned. "When getting into
bis ambulance to lock after his own wounded
he WAS fired upon by the rebels. When
they told him who he was, they said they
would take parting shot at him, which
they did, wounding him in The leg. lie had
his boots on, and his spurs on his boots, and
as they drove along, his spurs would catch
IN the tail-board Of the ambulance, causing
him to shrck with agony. 4 rebel officer
rode up, and, placing his pistol to his head,
threatened to shoot him if he continued to
scream This was on Sunday, the day cf
The battle.
