CULPEPPER, G. H VA, Aug. II, midnight
In On interview with some returned prisoners
to-day, they stated that the enemy had treated
them with kindness; but there was one instance
of monstsous outrage-Capt. O'Bfien Of the
Sd Wisconsin regiment, who was mortally
wounded; the rebel Surgeons told him he could
not live, and gave him some water and left him
on the field. Some rebel soldiers subsequently
came up, took his watch and cut his pocket,
taking $3.50 dollars, leaving him to die there.
This statement is from the dying mans lips.
The view of the battle field was sight never
TO be forgotten. For nearly mile the dead lay
scattered In heaps. At the point where Craw-
