We hear great deal Of the chivalry
Of our Southern brethren, and of their
kindness and humanity from their apollo
gists in our midst, but the investigation
of the Joint Committee who have investi-
gated their treatment Of our wounded and
dead, who fell into their hands. exhibits
in all its horrible atrocity the brutalizipg
effect which slavery has produced upon
the people Of the South.
TIE REPORT.
In pursuance of the instructions, your
committee have the honor 10 report that
they examined number Of witnesses,
whose testimony is herewith submitted
Mr. Nathaniel 4. Parker, who was cap
turcd at Falling Waters, Virginia. testities
that he was kept III close confinement,
denied exercise, and, with number OF
others, huddled up in a room; that their
feod, generally scant, was always bad, and
sometimes nanseous: that the wounded had
neither medical attention nor humane
treatment. and that many of these latter
died from sheer neglect; that Eve of the
prisoners were shot by the seatries cut
side, and that he saw one man-1ibbitts,
of the New York Twenty-seventh regi-
menl--shot as he was passing his window,
on the Sth Of November, and that he died
of the wound on the 18th The perpe-
traitor of this foul murder was subse-
quen.ly promoted by the rebel Govern

the field and to attend to wounded men,
some of whom were in a helpless and
painful condition. and suffering for water,
he was brutally refused. They offered
him neither water nor anything in the
shape OF food. He and his companions
stood in the streets Of Manassas, SUR
rounded BY threatening and boisterous
crowd, and we're afterward thrust into an
old building, and left, without spstenance
or covering, to sleep on the bare floor. 1t
was only when faint, and without food for
twenty-four hours, that some cold bacon
was grudginely given to them. When,
at last, they were permitted to go to the
relief of our wounded, the Secession Sur

operations, but entrusted the wounded to

The occupation of New Orleans, Of course, opens
the mouth of the Mississippi, and federal gunboats
have alrcaly started up the river in chase Of one
Of our escaping steamers. They are looked for in
the vicinity Of Aemphis within four days-a con-
tingency which your correspondent will sagaciousy
anticipate by 'pegging out" A majority Of the
residents Of the city will remain aud take their
chances under federal dominion. Those most
closely identified With tho southern cause have
already gone, and by the end Of this week that
sterling paper, the Memphis APPsai, with its hive
Of workers, will have followed in the wake. The
iUai4ncie will continue its publication in Mem
phis. Confederate money is refused here in dog
ems OF places aud for small articles it is impossi
bic to make use Of this class Of funds. Tennessee
money is at premium Of from 10 TO 20 per cent
AZ Nashville it is selling at the same rale. Some
Of the merchants have closed their stores rather
than sell their goodi for Confederate money,
which they cannot use; and whenever il Is accept
cd, the surplus cf each is being invested in
real estate, jewelry, plate and diamonds. Sugar
has risen two cents and half. Those who viii
remain in Memphis are generally the financial
graybeards whose property and pecuniary interests
arc at stake, and they have been the first on the
black list at the approach Of danger to sound the
alarm, produce panic, and discredt the success Of
the Confoderacy.
A large portion Of the so-called "Home Guard
are among those who will tender their respects to
the Federal soldicry. The ladics, as ever, are
true as steel together with hundreds Of brave men
who cannot leave; but besides these, the fighting
population being largely represented in the field,
few can be singled out with whom the almighty
dollar is not Of vastly more consequence than the
interests Of the Coniederacy.

Parrish of the New York 10Th, and Lieut..
J. W. Dempsey of the , New York regi-

''They report that on last Saturday night
large meeting was held in Richmond g. decide
what should be done with the city the arrival
Of the Federals. The property holders and mcs'
substantial men Of the city favored surrender,
while those who had no interest there, and gener-
ally backle,s and thieves, were rampant for oura-
ing it.
Capt Parrish thinks there is a very strong Z 4
ion feeling in Richmond. Every corner is night
ly pasted thick with Union sentiments and mys
ferrous writings, which alarm the seccssionists
very much.
Last Saturday. and all day sunday, there was
much excitement in the city, and the troops were
being rapidly sent oi, while all the artillery that
had been sent South Of Richmond some time pre-
vious, was huTriedly brought back and shipped
North.
