July they started across the country.
On the 4th, while the Thirteenth Hi

White river with load of cotton, they
were fired on by guerrillas seven miles
below Grand Haze. The fire was re
turned and the rebels fled. A contra
band taken on board the next day saws

the scene of action. On the 18th, Gen.
Curtis advance, consisting of battal-
ion of the First Indiana Cavalry and
the Eleventh Wisconsin, and Thirty
third Illinois regiments were attacked
by two regiments of Texan cavalry
and large force of infantry. The
federals had four mounted howitzers.

rebels with terrible effect, causing their
cavalry tn break in disorder, running
over the infantry, throwing them into
confusion, and terminating in an utter
r"ut. The rebels were pursued by onr
forces. who captured large number
OF persons, who were afterwards

loss was killed, among them Captain
Slocnm, of the llth Wisconsin, and
80 wounded. Major Gledden, of the
First Indiana Cavalry, was seriousl,

Results of the Terrible Explosion at For

From the Charleston Mercury
We greatly regret to announce that Lieut.
Col. Wagner suffered amputstion of his left leg
above the knee, Immediately upon his removal
to Charleston, night before last. DR.. Ogier per
formed t. e operation, assisted by Drs. Robert
son aud Mitchell
The loss of Col. Wagner's services at this
iuncture, even for a time, is public calamity.
As chief of ordnance of this district on the staff
of Major-Gen PembertOn, he had the immedi-
ate supeTinteudence and direction Of the hsrbor
works and batteries around Charleston, with
their equipment and location Of guns And his
indefatigable energy, coupled with his knowl-
edge of artillery, his accuracy, system and good
practical judgment rendered him pre-eminently
useful.
lis just month since, at the Secessionville
battery, after the fall of Col Lsmsr, he showed
his cool skill in the management of the men and
guns, aud his game qualities by holding the
battery for two hours under desperate disadvan-
tages until reinforcements arrived. 1t was he
who sent private Hendricks to Col. McEnery to
warn him of the hsnking position of the enemy,
and to suggest the best way for bringing his
troops into action under that fire.
In his misfortune he has the warm sy npalhy
Of the community, and it is earnestly hoped he
may live to SEQ the result of his able aud devo-
ted labers, and to take an active part in our tri
umph over the foe.
Lieut.: I. Lamar Wsrdlsw (son Of the Chan
cellOr) was struck in the head by piece Of the
iron banding Of the gun, and the skull was frac-
tured. He has been treated by the surgeon Of
the post, and some hopes, though faint, are still
entertained of his recovery.
One Of the privates wounded had both legs
broke. Another had one leg broken. No more
had died at last accounts.
Capt. Valentine, who was painfully wounded
in the hand, had the wounds of the soldiers at
tended to by the surgeon of the post before his
own, and was kind and attentive to all

WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH TIE YANRER
PRIsONERs.-A correspondent Of the Charles
ton Mercury makes the following suggestion IN
reference to the disposal Of the prisoners new in
our hands:
!. To exchange for Confederate prisoners held
By the enemy.
?. To give the foreigners composing the lar
ger part, probably, Of the late United States
troops now held as our cspives) for the first
class to be exchanged.
). To hold the native Yankee prisoners IN
cur custody, and put them to manual labor in
our factories, to make brOoms, leather, shoes,
buckets, thread, cloth, clocks, etc, until they
shall be exchanged for the negroes stolen fon
the plantations.
f. That for each negro who has BEEN sold or
worked to death by the Yankees, (e1change be-
ing impOssible,) a ransom Of $500 shall be sub
stitused.
g. That The Yankee prisoners held for this pur-
pose shall be subject to the negro law Of the
State in which they are imprisoned, or until ex-
changed or Tans0med
The object Of this is to recover the negroes
stolen, and to prevent future loss and injury to
Southern masters and servants.
8. That the negroes be returned 10 their OWL
ers and the money be distributed among those
whose negroes shall not be recovered.
