rhs Cnn,ure OF Gen. Mccall.

La our condensed narrative of the contest be-
fore Richmond, we have been necesiitsted to
omit many interesting incidents, amorg which
is that Of the capture of Major General Mccall,
the commander Of the reinforcementa sent TO
Mcclellan, and second to him in command. The
Richmond Dispatch, in its account of he fight
of Monday evening, says:
On hill, Obliquely to the right of General
Hills advaHce, was posted a battery Of some
twelve pieces, which had been twice captured
during the afternoon by our forces under Gen.
Longstreet, but recaptured by the enemy. This
battery, the brigade Of Gen. Fields-redlced in
numbers aud worn out with fatigue fron their
participation in every general engagement since
Thursday-was ordered to charge. With spirit
and alacrity they responded to the order, and
with close rank and steady step they moved for
ward to its execution. In their approach to the
battery, they fred three or four rounds, ard then
engaged the enemy with the bayOnet. Here the
struggle was bloody and determined but after a
most obstinate resistance, the enemy was driven
from his pieces, and pressed back some two hun
dred yards in q hsnd-to-hand engagement. This
charge was made by three regiments--the 47th,
sd and Goth Virginia.
The other brigades Of the division coming up
TO the support Of Fields, finding the enemy
routed, commenced cheering vocferously The
Federal General Mccall, hearing this cheering,
and mistaking the source from whence it came
rode up and said, Hurra, boys; am glad you
have held the battery. Hold on for short time
aud reinforcements will be up to sustain you ~
He was accompanied by Major Bddle, his s1ju.
tant-general, Major Williams, another aid, and
two courieTs. SuspectiDg that he had, perhaps
made mistake, he asked what regiment Ii was
that held the battery. An officer present replied
the 47th Virginia On obtaining the information
Major Williams and Blddle and the two courierE
wheeled about and endeavored to effect their es
cape. They were fred upon, and Major BiddIt
shot through the head and killed instantly. Tat
others, so far as is known, escaped without in
Jury Gen. Mccall, being in advance Of his
party was brought to a stand by private in th'
47th regiment who drew his gun upon him anC
demanded his surrender His sword was re
ceived by Major Mayo. The general was par
ticularly sohcitous that no indignity should b
offered him, when be was emphatically assured
by Msjor Mayo that he had not fallen into th'
hands of soldiery unacquainted with The usage
of civilized warfare Under an escort, McCal

All along the railroad, from the vicinity Of
Seven Pines to the Chickahominy, are evidences
of the hasty departure Of the Yankees. On
Tuesday, oveTcoats, muskets, cartridge boxes,

Arrival OF Confederate Prisoners at PhilG-
delPhiR.

A letter dated Philadelphia, 26th ult., says:
Last evening about four hundred Confederate
prisoners arrived in this city from Harrisburg,
under a guard from Colonel Patters0n's regi-
ment The men belonged chiefly to Virginia
and Mississippi regiments, and were captured
by portion of Shields division while returning
10 Winchester after the retreat Of Banks. a
number Of the prisoners said that they had been
treated well since their capture, but not better
than the Federal prisoners are in the South.
Z" We have prisoners of yours in Winchester,
and all persons who desired to see them were
permitted to do So" One of the men who was
ieered about the treatment Of prisoners at the
South replied, scornfully, Oh, yes thst's ike
your stories about making drinking cups out of
skulls and ornaments out of bones. You know
them to be false yourself" The prisoners claim
ed that the ContedeTates were men, as were the
Unienisis, and would act toward their fellow
| creatures fully as we'll. They had among them
/ but one officer, Major Davis, of the ID Virginia
| infantry, who had been at the battle of Bull
Rum and in all the engagements since fought
| in the Valley, under jackson. He is native
of Jefferson county, Virginia, is very prepOs-
sessing and gentlemanly, and abOIt 80 years OF
age. His coat was Of fine gray cloth, with
abundant gold lace on the arms and collar; his
pantaloons were OF light army blue, and his cap
of the same color. The prisoners were bTou yht
here to be taken By steamboat to Fort Delaware
where they are to be confined uutil exchanged
] Toward the latter part Of the evening they were
taken on board of the Major Reynold and con
veyed to Fort Delaware.
