P S-Lieut Dewey, of our regiment, is
Provost Marshal here, and he tells me
that since our forces occupied this place
some 1000 persons, equal to about the
population of the town. have taken the
oath of allegiance, and that rebel soldiers
are coming in every day to take the oath,
declaring that they are tired of the war,
and will fight nc longer. Per.contra, some
prisoners lately captured say they are re-
ceiving reinforcements daily, and that
they will fight for their independence, if
necessary, till the last man is gone. "You

flag on one side and the Confederate flao ON

treachery were found, and the whole partv

men on board tho boat was DR.. Marius Louis

Gen. Buckner,s Disclosure.

No marvel there is much bitterness to-
wards Floyd and Pillow among the rebel
prisoners captured at Ft. Donnelson. 1t
is stated that Gen. Buckner, the other day
at Jacksonville Indiana expressed the O.
piuion unreseryedly that he owed his cap
tivity to Gen. Pillow. The commanders
of the rebel forces at Fort Donelsou agreed
upon plan of retreat, after they became
satisfied they could not win the battle
Pillow, with his forces was to cut his way
through the right flank or the federal for
ses, and, at a given period, was to signal
Gen. Buckner, who was to attempt SIM
liar feat. Pillow succeeded partially, but
in the weakness of his JOY over his sup
posed escape, neglected the signals and set
about te!egraphiug a report southwark
that he had won great victory. In that
he deluded his rebel friends, for he was
driven back to his old quarters, and only
escaped by stealing out after night-fall
Gen. Buckner states that the opportuni-
ty, was rendered him and bis staff TO make
their escape with Generals Floyd ard Pill
low, and the plan was submitted TO the
officers. After consultation they, with
single exception, determined to share the
fate Of their men.

More of the Seceshers.

Another lot of 1900 rebels prisoners
composed ofportions of Mississippi, Ten,
nessee and Kentucky regiments, arrived in
Chicago on Saturday by the Illinois Cen
trail, and were marched up Michigan Ave-
nue. on their way to Camp Douglas. The
Journal says; ~
Like those which proceeded them, they
were motley mass, seemingly composed
of the rag, tag, and bob. tail of creation.
A few months residence in the North will
improve the appearance of these men. As
a.lady remarked TO US this morning, al
that is sample of the appearance of the

out upon the lake the darkey accosted his
master familiarly as follows.
"Golly, Massa Richards, who. d thunk
we's coming up this yere Northern water
ing place to spend the summer, yah, yah !"
Massa Richards looked at the icy scene,
shivered, drew his yellow blanket closely
about him, and made no reply. Doubt
less he thoguht it was crowdiug the sea-
son, and that this Northern trip was too
eraly to be fashionable, and more forcibls
than agreeable.

Re- A Bowling Green letter says:


The citizens left received us with a
hearty welcome and great JOY. 1 asked
two or three gentlemen of color" to whom
they belonged, and if their masters were
Secessionists or Union men. There was
the same response from all: Massa was a
Secessionist, but he is good Union man
now. Onr forces have conducted them
selves in a decorous manner, excepting
the 37th Illinois Regiment. 1t ought to
be drummed out of the service and sent
home.

says:
