Young man from Frankford arrived IN Phadel-
pha on Tuesday evening, direct from Richmond,
having left there last Saturday. He had charge OF
the Libby Prison Hospital, being hospital steward.
In this prison Gen. POpe's officers, lately captured,
are confined He gays that for the first two or three
weeks after their capture these officers rsctiyed very
harfh treatment.
They We're confined in room with hundred cti-
zen prisoners, and deprived of all couvenier ces.
They had TO live prison rations alone, not being
allowed to bay any proyisions. About three weeks
AGO. however tie Rebels relaxed their severity to-
ward them, and since then they have been put into
room by themselves, and are allowed TO supply
Themselves with any thing they desire.

By arrivals from the vicinity Of Munfordsv

By arrivals from the vicinity Of Munfordsvlle and
through the medium Of teegraphic dispatches to the
military authorities here, we learn that the tram
which left this city on Saturday evening with the
sofa Indiana infantry, Col. &. l.. Durham, was
thrown from the track near Bacon Greek, and they
were forced to march to Muuiordsville. The train
WAS TRANSPORTING quantity of arms and ammunition,
10 addition TO Col. Dunham's regiment, and II was
reported that the supplies had been captured by the
Rebels. There was no truth in the ruiIor however.
fsThe Rebels made their appearance in front OF
Muniordsville on Saturday evening and through Col
Scott of the Sd Louisiana Cavalry, made demand
upon Col. Wilder, in command Of tue Union forces
there, for m unconditional surrender. Col. Wilder
whose command included the l7th Indiana ibis own
regiment the 9th Indiana Col. Frank Emerson
the SD Indiana and the 18th Indiana, Col. Dunhan
replied to the demand that il they took the place
they would have TO fight for it.
The assault was made by the Rebels, under Gen.
Duncan, ut 4 O'Clock yesterday morning, and the
fighting continued until IL o'clock, resulting, after
an engagement of hours, in the repul.e O Tue
Rebels, with considerable slaughter on both sides,
the loss being much greater on the Rebel eide.
After the withdrawal Of the Rebel troops the
Rebel commander sent in flag OF truce, asking per-
mission TO bury bis dead which were lett On Tho
field which was granted by Col. Wilder.
In addition TO the force OF 100 infantry, Col.
Wilder had four pieces of arilieryone 2i'ponnder,
one l2-pOunder, and two 6-pounders. Tue Rebels
had eight pieces but no, Informed es to their
celiber The Rebel force is estimated at from four
10 seven thousand.
it was expected that the engagement would be
renewed again last night or this morning.
The battlefield Of yesterday was the sceue Of the
former engagement between a portion of Col VIII
lichs Indiana regiment and Col. Terry's forces, in
which Col Terry was killed and bis forces defeated
The engagement OF yesterday was of far greater i'm
portance, however, than that between Col. Which
and Col Terrys forces. and in the fight Of yesterday
the gallant lndanisns gained signal victory, adding
fresh laurels TO those already won by them upon
more sanguinary fields

In private as well az public life deeds are the

SINCE the late Union reverses, both East and West,

and generalization Of the latter that the disrust en-
tertained BY every intelligent patriotic mind north Of
the Ohio River, since the neutrality experiment Of
the trustworthiuess Of the UDionism OF Kentucky
has been pretty well founded All the accounts from
the interior Of the State agree that pneeptLs Of the
socalled Unionists are gracefully resigninp them
selves TO the fate Of being lorded over by the in.
vaders without either verbal protests or active
resistance. Thousands, not Satisfied with abiect
submission have suddenly changed front and

The good slip were delighted with the reception they
got from captain officers, and men, and we rejoice
TO know That the latter were equally deiiSated Win
their Irish visitors.
Perhaps the pleasure which our American friends
realized IRON tier sIort stay in KingstOwn harbor
was much increased by the memory Of the treatment
which they received IN English ports. One Of them
told friend of ours that Sin England they were
treated Ike dogs"-that while any fellow who pro-
fessed to hold commission under the flag Of the
Southern States, no matter how disreputabie bis
tecedents may have been, was greeted with bound
less hospitality, tbey-ihe officers OF legitimate
government, gentlemen OF education, rank, and pro-
fession-were rebuaed, sighted, neulted and it
was quite a surprise to them, on entering an Irish
port to meet with the kindly and aaectonate greet
ing which Irish men and women, even "West
Britons," manifested toward them. Truly glad are
we that those of cOuntryren and country women
who visited the good ship so crediiabIy represented
the reputation Of Ireland for gratitude to her friends.
But there waB another surprise III store for the
captain and officers OF the IuscaIora, OF which, by
their sudien departure, they wers deprived. sam.

their hearts was about to have been presented TO

States and OF the anxious desire which the lrish peo

ist ar one great Power, the buiwark and beacon Of
Freedom. Tho euddenness with which the vessel
was obliged TO quit the harbor has upset those ar
rangements but If the Tuscarora comes back again,
perhaps we shall not be disappointed.
In the mean while, ii those gallant officers OF
great nation have been brntally insuited in England
and "treated like dogs" they may treasure the
memory of that fact till their good opportunity;
