FORT DoHALDSOE March 2nd, 1852.
FRIEND BAILEY = As it is rainy day, thing
by no means uncommon in these parts l improve
the opportunity by writing. There great
many incidents connected with For, Donaldson that
would furnish material for long Letter .orrothpr d
series of letters. have only time 10 mention one.
5ut that is Of q character sufficiently diaa0licL aHa
damning, o curdle thg blood GG u ssni-hubari ~.
After the surrender, We found in the Jail cells,
which are situated below the surface, perfectly dark
AMI damp aud as dismal the Bas.ile, eleven OF
cur mea who had been captured in the fight, and
incarcerated there for sart-kecping. Their limbs
bore unmistakable evidence of having been bound,
their pockets were rhel and their persons stripped
of everything worth taking. When it became
tain that the Fort must fall into our hands, these
poor fellows were ossassnated by the high toned
gentlemen of these parts merely to show Southern
chivalry, | suppose, and the superiority Of the
South. Our men must certainly have been placed
in confinement alive, else they would not have been
bound. II they dead, why bind them, or, if
they not, why place them in cells, and leave
their own dead on the field of battle? Again they
were either killed outright ON the battle field, or
else in their cells; for they were shot in the head
and face, and one ii, the neck producing death in
stlntly.
So far as my experience and observations go I
am warranted in saving, that the officers generally
in the rebel army are well informed but their ice
formation aud accomplishments are 10 great eA
tent superficial. There are bat few Southern men
who viii confne themselves 10 close montgl op.i
cation The rank and file of those taken prisoners
here, physically cur equals, being in tha main
from the mountainous regions or Tennessee Ken
tuoky, Virginia, and Mississippi. Bus .uuuY,
they are Of very inferior order, wholly mac-
quaintod with the History or Geography of ouroun
country, anything outside Of their respective pre-
cincts, There is not 70 be found al present in the
surrounding country a scccsh They are all FIRST
rate Uuion men now. They always believed IL.
Union necessary and right, and should be mlin-
! tanned. That the laws should be enforced THE
laws and the Constitution should be upheld. Ycri-
| ly there is vast amount of convincing argument
in bayoncts and bomb shells. You know better
| than do the moves that are about to be made m
the great military chess board, as we seldom get a
paper except when we are fortunate enough to buy
or capture one of those messengers Of information
/ and then it is generally ten or twelve days old !
