A Serious Charge from Michigan
Officer.
Arrival of Troops at New York.

NEW YORK, Sept 6.
A letter in the Express says that Mr. Broad
head, the I'd Comptroller under Ex-President
Pierce, yesterday received blood-stained
piece of paper from his brother, Col Broad
head, commanding Michigan regiment, who
was MORALLY wounded, and since dead, in
which he says: L am about quitting the world,
victim to Gen. Popes incapacity and Me-
Dowell's treason.
Mayor Wightman, of Boston, accompanied
by Messrs. Fredericks, Dyer, and others, of
the City Government, arrived here last night
Mayor Wightman has visited the various
camps to ascertain the condition of Boston
soldiers. Col. Cowdin of The LIST Massachu-
sets, is Acting Brig. General. There are but
two captains left in the regiments and very
few commissioned officers, the different COM
panies being commanded in the late battles by
sergeants, and well led too. This regiment
now numbers but about 500 and is always
placed in the advance by Gen. Hooker whose
dependence upon it has never been shaken.
The men are sadly in want of shoes, &c.
Mayor 'Wightman informs us that Lit. Col.
Tileston was killed while leading the left wing
of his regiment in charge nine miles beyond
Centreyille. The rebels were using the road
as a breastwork and the 18th regiment charged
them, driving them before their bayonets. Col
Tileston's body fell on the track of the rail-
road, and the rebel medical director refused
DIR. Foye permission to go and bury it, saying
it should be properly inferred. His watch,
pistols. sword and wallet were taken. and all
his clothes stripped from his body by the thiev-
ing rebels, who thus exhibit their chivalry
Gen. Porter manifests unbounded regret at the
loss of Col. Tileston, whom he considered as
one of his best and bravest officers, but says
he fell gloriously while leading his command
splenddly to a gallant charge.
Mayor Wightuian aud party leave tonight
for Boston. They have been waited upon to-
day by many of the leading citizens of this
CITY,
The 39th Massachusetts regt, Col Davis,
arrived at an early hour this morning, and left
Washington in less than two hours.
The 10th Vermont regiment arrived very
early this morning, breakiasted at the Park
barracks and left via Camden d Amboy road
before 10 o'clock.
No Eastern regiment arriving here have had
such quick transportation afforded them AS
these two, and their commanders expressed
much qualification at the successful efforts of
Col Howe, aided by Maj. Brown and L. +.
Wellington, of the New England rooms, in
eiiecting this much desired object.

the treatment between the officer of Gen. Nc
Clellan's forces and those of Gen. Pope. The
prioners, with few exceptions, now at Gaines
vile are from Pope's late army.
DIR. Green was informed by a Quartermaster,
that although many of the rebel soldiers APP
peared without shoes they still had sufficient on
hand, but as matter Of economy, they will not
be issued until the middle of this month. He
says also, the feeling is general among the men
that the war shall soon be ended, an say they
will die before they viii yield in their deter
mination to become what they term an indie
pendent nation.
According to their own estimate OF their
numbers in the late scenes of engagement,
they he'd not less than 10000 men, with 40
batteries of field pieces, most of them being
rifed cannon.
DR.. Green reports the losses among the reb-
els as very large.

The Washington Star this evening says, we
hear that Acquia Creek hes been evacuated

from there that could possibly be of use to the
United States. We take it for granted that
the temporary buildings, railroad arrange

purposes at that point, have been destroyed or
rendered useless to the enemy.
The Star also says, we learn that the re gi-
ments of New York troops are now in process
of being brigaded with old regiments, by
which means they will be effective soldiers
much sooner than if otherwise brgaded.
