err. He was sent 10 a hospital with the rest
Of the wounded, where, after lying Hnattend-
I'd for over day, his injury was dressed /;
the wot nd commenced healing, and he was
able in a day or Two 10 walk aleut a little.
One day, three or four Rebel surgeons,
accompanied by John +. Floyd, entered the
room where he was lying on bed. Floyd,
on observing him, made the inquiry, How
is this id Yankee getting aiong?7 One
of the surgeons stepped up TO him, tore of
the bandage in brulally rough style, there-
by opening the wound affesh, and inficting
toriuring pain upon their unfortunate VIC
tim. On looking at il the sureeons decar-
ed the leg must be amputaied. The man
expostuated, saying he was able to walk,
and was getting well fast, but 10 no purpose
ont came the instrument and he was depriv-
ed Of his leg below the knee, the operation
being performed without the slightest re-
gard to his life or sufierings, and consuming
nearly an hour. After this was done he
was left TO himself for day ortwo with his
health Impaired and his constitution broken.
AT the expiration of two or three days his
tormentors returned, again accompanied by
Floyd. The dressings Of his mutllated limb
were again jerked off, and without examina-
tion or consultation, ii was ANNOUNCED that
it must be amputated again, this time ADORE
the knee. The almost dying man begged
Of them to kill him, bat not again put him
to the misery he had undergone before. Ii
was of no avail, however The surgeons
were determiued, and The amputation was
performed. Floyd indorsed their course,
exclaiming g Cd d---n him, cut off both
his legs; that will prevent him from ight-
ing again"
They kept him under the second opera
ton an hour and forty minutes, offering him
no stimulants nor any Of The usual help to
sustain him while under their hands. Af
ter this piece of butchery, he was left TO live
or die as fate willed it, and strong consti-
tuition and previous good health carried him
through until he was exchanged. He is
now at home, a cripple, prematurely old,
unable to help himself, and dependent upon
others for his support. We have no COM
ments to make on this exhibition of the bru-
tality and harbarism which has character,
iaed the leaders of the rebellion.
The matter has been brought to the at
tention Of Gov. Tod, who has promised that
shomething shall be done for the unfortun-
ate man who has thus been sacrificed on the
alter of treason.
The gentleman resides in Milan, Ohio,
and any one who doubts The veracity of this
statement can easily satisfy himself of its
truth.
