AN AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION.

From HE Philadelphia Gazette
In tn midst Of the details of the glorious naval
victory at Memphis, an odd Circumstance Is found
narrated which ID too good to be lost sight Of The
steamer Platte Valley had started from st. Louis on
trading voyage down the river She stopped at
all the accustomed points, US usual, down to Fort
Pillow, where she found that the otla had gone to
attack Memphis and SO followed in its wake to have
the opportunity OF opening the first regular trade at
Memphis. The story is thus told by the officers of
the vessel

White House. The number Of wounded was about
LOCO. There was distinct agreement that the
wounded should be moved early the next morning
from the places where their wounds were dressed
10 the railroad station, and that the Quartermaster
should be ordered to have at this station at II o'clock
at noon the 4h twenty cars for their trans
portation. The wounded were accordingly placed
NJ the railroad station. At o'clock p. m. on the
5h thirty hours after the time agreed upon for the
cars to be present, the rst arrived. Nine cars
only came, loaded with commissary stores aud bag
gage. Details We're made, and the wounded men
placed upon the banks of the railroad.
The agent in charge Of the train refused to let 1t
wait till the wounded could be placed into the empty
cars At the most urgent solicitations of the medical
officers he detached five of the empty cars TO receive
them, aud moved off with the other four saying that
an engine would come in the night to take them.
The five cars were filled with the wounded men, and
medical officers placed in charge 10 attend them
Early in the night the train returned to the station
ten miles below and remained all night, and left for
the White-Ilouse, the agent refusing to go two
miles further for the containing the wounded
saving that he had no orders to dose.
During the time that these poor wounded men
were thus exposed, without the possibility of shell
ter, rain fell in torrents. They suffered nexpressiby
and several Of them died.
This is a dreadful outrage upon the soldiers and
upon humanity and will tend largely TO demoIalze
the army OF the Potomac.

Private John Mcmahon OF Company +, 99th
New-York Volunteers was hung to-day for willful
murder at the Rip Raps, according to the sentence
Of the Court Martial, approved by the Commanding

mitigating facts, the prisoner having calmly and
deliberately shot private Michael Dolan of tue same
company and regiment, at the same time using the
words God have mercy on your soul." Tie prisoner
pleaded guilty to the charge of willfu murder, and
the plea having been confirmed by the Court, he
was sentenced to be hung. To-day, at noon, having
been appointed for the execution by Gen. Wool, tie
sentence carried into effect by the Provost
Marshal, Lieut. Blake.
Everything was carried out in the most exemplary

Spies and deserters report the Rebel army TO be

enlistment having expired, have been disarmed, and
largo numbers shot. The immense destruction of
valuable stores proves that the retreat was hurried

enemy had been making a contemplated and prepared
retreat. The Rebel army hiss stripped of food the

The recent advance under Gen. Mcdowell, so sud-
denly made upon jackson, Johnston, and Ewell in

loss and great decentralization has rendered the val
ley clear of the presence Of the enemy, and Fremont
and Banks are now there to take care Of that Sec
ton, and any further raid upon the part Of Stone
WALL will be piece of temerity that will encounter
a heavy punishment.
In conjunction with Eastern and New-York
troops, number Of Pennsylvania regiments partici-
pated in the victorious advance. Among them was
the 2otb Knapp's Battery detachment Of LIST Nir-
GINA Cavalry composed of Pennsylvanians) which,
