PRISONERS AT RIcHMoND.--From Corporal
Merril's New York Twenty-ssvsnth Regi-
ment) sketches of his captivity, published
in tho Rochester Express, We copy the fol-
lowing The head surgeon Of the estab-
lishmeut was Dr.. Peacby, Of Richmond.
He had numerous corps of assistants, con-
sisting principally Of medical students who
had gladly availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to engage at once in an extensive, if
not a successful, practice. DR.. Pcachy him
self is an amable. kind-hearted gentleman,
whose sympathies seemed deeply enlisted in
behalf of his unfortunate patients, and was
untiring in his professional attentions.
The Sisters of Charity of Richmond had
volunteered their services in behalf of the
wounded, and many poor fellow would
gladly testify to their kind and unremitting
attention.
Hardly were the prisoners bestowed in
hospital quarters, before the place literally
swarmed with visitors. The greater portion
of them were ladies, who brought Us dain-
ties Of every description, and In some in
stances articles of Undertaking, which
were greatly needed. 45ah
A young man was borne into the hospital
who represented that he had seven bullets in
his body. His suffering had excited much
sympathy at Manassas, and he had to be
carried to the cars on litter. His groans
drew tears from even the Confederate
guards, and every one who approached him
expressed the opinion that it was the most
shocking case that had been found. He
was handled with exceeding carefulness and
placed upon a Cot, not however, without ex-
torting the most terrible groans Dr. Peachy
approached him and inquired as to the ma
ture Of his wounds. "Seven BULLETS" was
the response. But where are they 7" con-
tinued the doctor. Zone Of them went in
my ear, and feel it in my head" was the
reply. But you can't find it, and there's
no use of trying" As to the locality Of tho
other wounds he professed ignorance, with
the exception Of one, which he said had
shattered his foot The foot was examined,
and the heel Of it was found to be eighty
confused. Finally, he confessed that this
was the extent Of his injuries. He had
feared that unless dreadfuliy wounded he
would be roughly treated, if not put to
death, and had accordingly determined to
resort to Yankee tricks. It was highly suC-
cessful. He was named 'Seven Bullets"
and is known by no other title among his
prison associates to this day.
