A touching scene from the battlefield
is thus related by wounded witness
from Newborn
"The Lieutenant was in advance of his
men in the bayonet charge, when volley
from the enemy shattered his right leg
and the Captains left. They were both
removed and laid side by side, when
William called TO the surgeon, and said,
Surgeon, you must amputate my leg;
can't stand this The Captain tried TO
pursuade him not TO have it removed. but
he was determined, and said 10 must be
done The surgeon then administered
chloroform, and amputatcd his leg, As
soon as the operation was performed, Will
liam called for cigar and smoked IL
very leisurely until the fire was very near
his lips The Surgeon then came along
and inquired How do you feel now,
Lieutenant 10 which he replied, Very
comfortable, bus feel as if the stump of
a leg you cut off was on again, and the
toes were caldi This Captain said it
made him shudder to hear William speak
so cody, and he turned his head so as TO
look in his face. As he gazed at him he
thought his eyes looked strangely At
that moment William sat up, and in a
voice which never sounded louder or
clearer, shouted 20 his men, forward
march, and fell dead"

UNION PAPER IN NAsHvILLE.-S. c..
MERCER, Esq, has recently established a
daily paper in Nashville, entitled the
Union, and as its name indicates, it is a
Union paper, and is doing gallant service
for the "Stars and Stripes" in Tennessee
Its editorials are ably written, and it
gives rebels no quarters. We wish the
Union great success politically and peou-
niarily. Long may it wave after seces-
sion has been consigned to the "tomb of

The Richmond Examiner Ofthe 22d says !:
The destiny of the Confederacy is trem-
bling on the result of Yorktown. If sue
cessful, it will give us six months for
carrying out the conscription act, arming
and equipping a large army, and launch

cessful, Virginia is lost.

The way tho Rebel, raise Troops,
To what extent the hearts Of the South
ern people are fired with determination
to prosecute the war of treason may be
clearly seen from the desperate and vio-
lent measures adopted by the rebel lead
ers to fill their ranks. There is no moro
volunteering worth talking about to re-
plenish the rapidly thinning rebel ranks.
The Confederate Congress has actually
found it necessary TO pass a conscription
law forcing every man between IS and So
into the army. By Southern newspapers
we read of impressments> into the army
by marauding troops in various quarters.
The alternatives presented to the unfor-
tunate victims of these bandits are U07un-
teering or deatI. The Richmond Dispatch
of tn 1st of April publishes with great
glee letter from Monroe county in that
State which says:
The militia are gathering at their diff
ferent places of rendezvous in goodly
numbers. One of the reeusant ones, who
utterly refused to go, and sDore he WouH
/ die before he iVould 90, drew knife upon
the guard who went for him, when the
guard fired upon him, breaking his leg
about the knee joint. His leg will have
to be amputated-a sad warning to all
others of his disposition. Our Court met
yesterday, to transact business in con-
nection with the proclamation of the
President to establish martial law in this
| county. We hope that i0he,l this IatC Is Cur
rted out the Union man wi1 be hunted up, and
treated as they deserve.
A letter from Fort Pillow of April 27,
gives the following additional testimony
on this point
Last evening, six refugees, j. A. Ne
yiIles, W. b. Glsson, Charles France, S.
L. Hawkins, j. Herring and Alexander
Champion, all but the last residents of
the city, arrived here from Memphis in a
skih, having left there on Sunday night,
and rowed all the way; going up Wolf to
Old river into the Hatchee, and thence
across the overflOwed country below Ran
dolph, through the Arkansas swamps to
the place now occupied by the fotilla.
The refugees say they left Memphis be
cause they were Union men, and knew
they would be forced into the Rebel army
by the prescription act recently passed
at Richmond, Virginia. That most un-
: just and tyrannical bill, they say, has
caused hundreds Of persons in Tennes.
see, and doubtless elsewhere, TO fly from
their homes as best they could.
Every man who could be found was
: being seized and dragged into the South
ern ranks, and those who resisted were
shot without mercy. Several of the res
idents along the Tennessee and Arkansas
shores-if that can be called shore which
e is shoreless-say that no male person
| would have been permitted to live here
without taking up arms, had the flee
arrived two weeks later. The marsnd

Rullness and Distress In We nphIs
Memphis, according TO the refugees, is
dull as an abandoned eometry; and so
many people have left there that they do
not think out Of population of thirty
thousand, claimed there before the com
mencement Of the Rebellion, there are
now no more than twelve thousand in the
city. Nearly all the stores are closed,
and the proprietors Of the few that arc
open, keep very few goods 10 sell. having
secreted the greater part of their stock
to prevent its being stolen.
No one wants to sell anything but en-
deayors 10 avoid selling; knowing that
the wretched shinplasters, which form
the staple Of the currency in retail cir
cles, are entirely worthless.
There is no gold or silver in Memphis
or vicinity, and no notes even Of the Bank
of Tennessee; but in tLoir stead the
town is flooded with FIVE, ten, and TWEEN
ty-five and fifty cent issues Of the Ten
nessee and Mississippi Railway.
Great distress prevails among the peo-
pie, and has prevailed for six months, in
consequence Of the seyerest poverty, and
a great many laboring men and mechan-
les have been compelled 20 Join thc
Southern army to obtain the common me-
cessaries Of life.

WAsHRGroE, APgII. 3e.-Thc report Of
She Joint Committee on the Conduct of
the War; in regard TO the barbarous
treatment Of the remains Of officers and
soldiers killed at Bull Run, is very long.
Ii states that the facts disclosed are of a
repulsive, shocking and painful character.
Foreign nations must with one accord
consign to lasting odium the authors of
the crimes, which in all their details ex-
ceed the worst excesses of the Sepovs OF
India Our dead were buried. in many
cases, with their faces downward. were
left 70 decay in open air, while their
bones were carried off as trophies, some
times Tor use as personal adornments;
and one witness deliberately AYERS that
the head Of one Of our most gallant Off
GERS was cut Oft by a Sccessionist, TO be
used as drinking cup on the occasion
OF his marriage. During the last two
weeks the skull of Union soldier has
been exhibited in the office Of the Ser
geant-at of the House Of Represen-
tatives, which had been converted 10
such n purpose, and which was found on
the person of one of the rebel prisoners
taken in recent conflict. The testimony
OF Gov Sprague, Of Rhode Island, con-
clusiyely proves that the body of one of
the brayest officers in the volunteer SER
vice was burned, because the rebels be-
levcd it to be that of Colonel Slocum.
These disclosures should inspire the
people of the loyal States to renewed ex-
ertions to protect the country from res
toration to the power Of such men. They
should and we believe they will (say the
conmittee) arouse the disgust and horror
Of foreign nations against this unholy
rebellion.

To the Editors Of Portland Press:
The Union Musical Association has just
closed its first session at Auburn, Me. The
Association were so fortunate as to secure the
services of Prof. B. F. Baker of Boston, as
Teacher and Conductor, together with those
of an efficient "home orch "stra," under the di-
ection of Mr.. w. K. EN- Ager, of Auburn.
The exercises of the Association commenced
on Monday eve, Nov. Sd, followed by a mis-
cellaneous concert at Auburn, OH Intervening
of November 9th, and finale concert at Cen
trail Hall, Lewiston, on the evening of Nov
7th. At these concerts the class was assisted
BY Mrs. Little, of Boston, lady whose arts
tic qualities as a singer are second to none,
perhaps, in New England. The musical prac
tice of the class was interspersed with short
lectures by Prof Baker, given in his peculiar
ly lucid, pleasing, and effective manner.
The practical study of the voice, in regard
TO the formation, and healthful development
of tone, the practice of the various kinds of
church music, with reference to in(using new
life, and giving more character and effective
ness to this important branch of public wor-
ship, were prominent features in the exercises
of the Association. The music brought out
Gu this occasion was of the highest order. OF
the Messiah" we need say nothing; it has
spoken for itself for the last century. The
Tabernacle" by Messrs. B. f. Baker. and w
o. Perkins, is church music book of superb,
or merits; work of real musical character
variety, newness, and strength.
At a business meeting holden on Saturday
Nov. Sth, the Association chose the following
officers for the coming year: Rev. A. C. AID
ans, President, Auburn; f. Newell, Vice
President, Auburn; D. F. Hodges, Secretar,
and Treasurer, Lewiston. Executive Com
inittee, w. F. Fitch. 7. Hersey, II. Crafts.

REBEL OPINION OF GEN. MCCLELLAN.
The Mobile Register of Oct. 3 has the follow
ing estimate of the ability of Gen. Mcclellan
as commander:
at may not be improper to suggest here,
that the people of the Confederate States have
been led to underestimate the abilities OF Nc
Clellan. In my judgment, he is incomparably
the best officer in the Federal army, if not the
equal to any in the Confederate and if he had
such troops as ours to command, the World
would not be long in finding him out. His
disasters are not justly attributable to his lack
of generalship so much as to the character OF
his troops The manner in which he conduct
ed his retreat from Richmond, and his conduct
of affairs thus far in Maryland are enough to
entitle him to be ranked with the abest COM
manders on either side. Officers tell me that
close inspection of his position and works
before Richmond, and a thorough examna-
ton of his movements from day to day after
the battle commenced, did not disclose one
solitary mistake or bunder on his part. He
did the best that could be done at every point,
under the circumstances, and with the mate
rial he had around him. 1t is safer to give
the enemy credit for too much ability than too
! little"
