said one soldier, at was like this" show
ing q piece of rough sackcloth. How
different an example Of humanity Is the
North settingl When Gen. Mcclellan
heard Of the suilerings of our soldiers in
Richmond he proposed TO the rebel au-
thorities 60 send them lemons, oranges,
jellies, and other articles needed by the
sick. The rebel officers refused, stating
that as their men had none, ours could
not be printed to enjoy such distinction.
Cen Mcclellan was not 60 be deferred
from doing good to our men, even though
he benefited rebels at the same time, and
sent on abundant supplies for the sick
and wounded in their hospitals-Union
or rebels. And yet tits our section Of the
country which the London Times had the
audacious impotence to say is fast be-
coming "brutalized by tbs war"
Protecting Traitors.
The army will die to a man defending
our country, bit ,ciH not fqlt for protectiag
traitors A broad and distinct line has
to be drawn-aud that immediately-be-
tween those who are fer the Union and
those who are against il; the former to
be encouraged, the latter overcome by any
and every means known TO civilized war
fare, and all side issues, be IL slavery or
anything else, must and will be thrown
overheard.
A mOnstrous instance Of the necessity
of this last step Of the Administration,
came to my notice last evening. DR.. Ber-
ry, of General Kearney's Division, Regi-
mental Surgeon of the Thirty eighth N.
York, was my informant, and authorized
me to use his name if ] desired it. II
happened that during the momentous
week before Richmond, Major Dominick,
! of the Second New York Volunteers, of
Sedgwick's Division, brave and noble
young officer, found himself by General
McClellan's Orders, passing from the left
wing to support the right. On the road
| he was overcome with sickness and ia
tiguc, and was compelled to stop, with a
servant, opposite a grand house, owned
by one DR.. Harrison, a noted rebel, who
had removed his family to Richmond,
| and was staying az home with his doors
fastened-but protected by a United States
! PrOy0St guard. After asking the sentinel
at the pOrtcO what regiments were near
Major Dominick, learned, accidentally,
that his friend, DIR. Berry, was in the
neighborhOod. The latter was sent TO-
but finding it impossible TO absent him
self Immediately from important duties
said he would ride out in early morning
He did so; found the Major had gone IL
join his regiment, after sleeping all night
on the bare porch of Southern naJob, CONF
| tortaJly SLsepiRg INSIDE, iOiH United State,
patrol passing in front If his hJusc THAI
nights exposure cost the gallant Major
his life; for it brought on a diseas,
which ended in death at the Eutav
| House, in Baltimore This same Harri
son is now in the Rip Raps here, and i,
a rebel Of the first water. His house il
known TO have been in the direct track
of the first rebel raid against the Whit,
House, under Stuart, and there il nc
doubt whatever that the said house, ant
the adjacent one of DIR. Tyler wert
among the headquarters Of the conspira,
tors. These are specimens OF the fellow
to protect whose property our men hav,
hitherto had to sacrifice their lives by
thousands. No wonder if they now re
joice to find that war is, at last, to b.
waged IN earnest.
