Wounded Soldiers.

MR. EDIroR:-H Having just returned
home from the cities of Washington and
Baltimore, having been sent to those cities
by the Commissioners of this county, to
see after our wounded men that went from
this county; We take great pleasure in say
ing that very few of our men are wounded.
We only found the names of 18 men
wounded from the 25th Regiment, and
some of them but slightly. s
Lieut.. Merryman Of Woods6eld, is shot
through the leg below the knee. slightly
injuring the shin bone John Fisher is
shot through the thigh, another shot in
the hip, also the second finger on his sright
hand shotsoff; bat with all these wounds
he is in fine spirits and seems to be getting
along well, Thomas Baton is wounded
through the calf of the leg, he is getting

T The azaount'of killed we could not learn
the lreturns were not,syet made out, but
while we found but few of our men in
these, last battles, we found that the sol
diers from the Eastern States had suffered
the greatest loss So 9eia g.
New York, Massachusetts, andlthe State
of Maine, seem to have suffered the great
est loss, Judging from the amount Of
wounded men, we saw in the hospitals of
these cities. -. : s

arriving at Washingtonin search o. friends.
The city is under Martial Law and great
excitement prevails persons cannot pass
from place to place without first obtaining
a pass, and this is very hard to do.

The Palace of the Heavenly Prince.


On the second day Of their stay
in Marking. the strangers ventured
to visit the palace of the Tian
Wang or Heavenly Princo-the
leader who has set the whole ma
chinery of rebellion in motion in
the "FIowery Land" On the wall
in front of the entrance huge proc
Ilamaiionsso onyellow silk were4 4sas-
pended. The productions are said
to be in the handwriting of the
Junior Lord" inspired, Of course,
by his father, the arch impostor
himself. They are, invariably, the
rawlings Of a distempered imagina-
ton, almost the only ineligible
parts being the oft repeated asser-
ton that the Heavenly Father,
Christ, and the Heavenly Prince
all concur in the necessity Of ex.
terminating the imps, as his Maj
esty is pleased to term the Tartars.
Over the principal entrance 10 the
palace stood the inscription, "The
Sacred Heavenly Gate of the True
Cod" Passing through a court
yard, the foreigners arrived at the
second gate, through which they
found there was (for ordinary NOR
tails at leasD no admittance. In-
deed, excepting on important occa-
sions, the Heavenly Prince appears
to have a settled prediction
against the society Of males. The
servants and others employed
within the inner gate are ali of
the gentler sex. Numbers of those
were now peering at the barba-
rians. AT this time, a lady Official
advanced through the gate to in
trust to her unworthy colleagues
of the masculine gender on the
outside, sacred edict or imperial
decree Of the "IIeavenly Prince"
Before the box containing the
decree, which was placed on sort
of altar, the bystanders prostrated
themselves, and knocking their
heads upon the ground, sang in
chorus the National Anthem
Wan Suy, nan Suy, wan wan suy
"Ten thousand years. ten thousand
years, ten thousand times ter
thousand years." After this per
formance, the box containing the
edict was placed in sedan chair
covered with yellow silk. Guns
were fired by way of salute, a band
Of music struck up, a procession
was formed, and the chair carried
off by four bearers.-Dublin Uni

Vs. One of the few Canadian pa
pers which have been friendly to
the Government of the United
States during the war makes the
following quiet comment upon two
recent events:
General Banks had scarcely made
good his retreat over the Potomac,
Jackson's guns had not had time
to cool, ere the Federal House of
Representatives met, and by a vote
Of 80 to go passed a bill to confs-
cate every dollar, every acre of
land, and every valuable held in
the South by rebels. 1t seems to
us if they had advanced the Tax
Bill stage it would have been
more to the immediate purpose in
hand. AS it is, another weapon
is put in the hands of the South
ern leaders, it being clear that al =
most all the property in the coun-
try is affected by this sweeping
decree, and it is natural to suppose
that all property which can be de-
stroyed will be, rather than allow
it to fall into the hands of the
enemy.

A Persian ButcherY.

The Gazette du Danube gives
the following details of the eXecu-
ton, or rather the butchery, on
the Goth day of February, of fifty.
seven Turcoman prisoners at Tc-
heran:
"At an early hour in the morn
ing the doors Of the prison were
opened -aRd- -tlEe -eaptipes, tied to.
gether by cords, and conducted by
soldiers, were taken to the eXer-
cising ground close to the barracks.
The prisoners had been strong
athletic men, but appeared to be
worn out by fatigue and hunger
One of them, an old man with
white h air, was supported by his
two sons. Stakes had been driven
into the wall Of the barracIl yard,
to which they were attached, the
left foot Of each being raised up
and fastened to the right one OF
the man next him, SO that each
had only one leg to stand on
After that operation, which lasted
an hour, Il detachment Of infantry,
posted at about sixty PAGES dis
tance, were ordered to fire: but
not one Of the prisoners was hit,
all the balls strik ing the wall over
their heads, for the soldiers, who
had murmured at being employed
to act as executloners, purposely
aimed high. The colonel in com.
mand sheathed his sword in indig-
nation, and loudly complained Of
having been called on to perform
such a duty. The soldiers were
then advanced to within forty
PAGES distance, and fired a second
volIey, which only wounded few
of the prisoners in the legs, and at
a third discharge four fell dead
Eight detachments of 100 men
each were brought up in success
sion, and each fired three rounds,
so that 2,4OO shots were fired at 81

time three still remained untouch.
