Stonewan Jackson's Chaplain, Rev. j..
Landstreet, recently captured by our
cavalry was at the War Department to-
day, for the purpose of eiTecting an ex-
change, He is a Methodist preacher, Of
much talent He stated to-day, TO sew
sral persons, that tlie watchword Of the
rebel States, was to conquer or die that
tho last chance of a reunion was de-
stroyed, and that the recent speech Of
jeff Davis was heartily indorsed. While
he did not attempt 10 conceal the de-
dcienoy in clothing and equipments
among the rebel forces, he consoled him
self with the pious belief, that Providence,
who fed the children at Israel with
mana, would furnish food and clothing
The negroes, he says, never were so
subservient as now, owing 10 the stric
police measures that had been adopted,
and TO the circulation Of accounts Of re-
turned contrabands, who told feai ful
stories Of the cruel manner ia which
Yankees had treated them.

In the rebel Congress, on the 28th, Mr.
Foote, Of Tennessee, advocated sending
commissioners to the United States, sset-
ting forth the terms on which the South
would consent 10 peace. He intended
offering a resolution TO that effect, and
leave the responsibility for further car
mage on Lincoln.

SEVEN OHIO BoYs HUNG ON THE 18TH OF
On the 18th of June 1862, an officer
came into the room where these men
were confined, and without any previous
warnings, or any why's or whcrefore's,
or even preamble, read the sentence of
death upon seven Ohio boys-men-sol-
diers-regular volunteers in the Army Of
the United States, who were taken in
honorable defense Of their country, and
ordered them TO prepare for death in one
hour, by the rope. The ropei think Of
that, you chicken-hesrted milk and
water men Of the North! American
oitizens-nay more, American soldiers
to be ignominiously hung by the neck for
no other crime than bearing arms against
the bogus Southern Confederacy, the
realm Of that srch-devil JEFF DAVIS
who, following in the footsteps of his
master and patron, has, in imitation oi
that masters deeds of old, seeded
from all that is good, or pure, OIL
honorable, and stirred up a lawless
and most wicked rebellion in this the
fairest land of brightest Liberty the un'
dimmed beams of a glorious morning sun
ever fell upon. And as JEFF. DAvIs''
master and patron, in former ages, wa'
kicked out of Heaven into He'll, so in
this present age will JEFF. DAVIS b,
kicked out OF this earth into as much al
hotter place than hell, as his deeds o
monstrous wickedness have exceeded th'
deeds Of his master of former period
In plain words, JEFF. DAVIS on earth ha
outdeViled the Devil, and He'll won't b.
hot enough for him.
In one hour the seven men were led on
to be hung; and they were hung one afte
another; and Two of the seven brok
down before life was extinct, and restored
to consciousness. They begged respit
of one hour to fit themselves for anothe
world by prayer. Do you think thes
flends would grant it? No! they CAV
no respite, but proceeded on to the fin
ishing up Of the hanging job. Thes
facts were told to Captain FAY, as thel
were to all the others, by the guard. Th

South Carolina First.

"Carleton" of the Boston Journal writing
from Beaufort, S. C., under date of Feb. 81.
says he has visited the 1st South Carolina
regiment of volunteers, (colored). This reg
iment, SAYS "Careton has been under drill
about three months. 1t has been my privilege
to see, during the twenty-five months OBJ
servation, probably five hundred thousand
men under arms-old and well drilled regi-
ments-and raw volunteers. The 1st South
Carolina, in drill, in discipline, in dexterity
in the use of arms, will compare favorably
with any regiment in the service of the
United States. In firing by battalion, there
was only the little roll which precedes the
grand crash-no scattering guns. In Or
dering arms the nine hundred muskets came
to the ground simultaneously. There was
not a mistake in evolution during the after.

Lamentable Death of q Vermonter.

A very lamentable affair occurred yester-
day morning in this city, being the death and
robbery of Lieut. Lewis Graham of Spring
field, Vermont, late of company h, 10th reg
iment of Vermont volunteers. 1t seems that
on Wednesday, Lieut. Graham resigned, on
account of rheumatism, and was honorably
discharged by General Hein;zelman, and re-
ceived his pay. On that night he retired, al
boarding house, but at two o'clock in the
morning his roommate testifies that he was
awakened by the falling of somebody upon
the floor, and he found it TO be Graham, with
his throat cut by pen-knife. Medical assis-
tance was obtained after great delay, several
surgeons refusing to come. but the wound
was sewed up ultimately, though in vain.-
Graham died at six o'clock, or four hours az
ter the wound. One of the surgeons testi-
fed that his life might have been saved, had
assistance been rendered in time. Inasmueh
as the deceased did not by word or sign in
inflicted the wound himself, doubtless in a
moment of abberration. The sum of S6SI
was found in his clothing, and this money
was counted by policeman and locked up
in Graham's valise, but was subsequently,
stolen. \ man calling himself McNaughton,
and who professed to be a newspaper repor-
ter, was left in the room by the police, and as
he has disappeared. it is believed he took the
money. Some persons doubt whether Gra-
ham was not murdered. This city is overrun
by robbers and msrderers; and notwithstand-
ing double police, civil and military, mur-
der, robbery, arson, and swindling in every
conceivable shape are Of frequent occurrence.
This week has given US citizen robbed of
$1,000, another of l,2OO, another of $500,

The Battlefield at Murfreesboro.

/ have Just returned from Murfreesboro
where l spent two days in riding through
the vast eneampments of our troops, and
over the late battle ground. l traversed
about five miles in extent Of the battle
ground, first in the fields, and then in the
woods among the cedars and timbers where
much of the hard fighting was done. Nc
man at distance, and only receiving the
newspaper accounts, caE form any idea of the
nomber of dead horses and mules upon the
ground. Their names are legion. They are
often piled up, one upon another-some shot
through the body, some through the neck,
others with heads and legs shot of. But all
are in a wonderful state of preservation,
though lying on the fed more than two
months.
The trees are peppered with bullets for
miles, the twigs are cut off and many trees
are cut off at points ranging from five to
thirty feet from the ground. Large trees of
size sufficient to make sawlogs, where the
cannon balls struck them fairly, they passed
clear through, and daylight can be seen
through as one rides along. Cannon balls
are to be seen all along the line, and shells
that failed to explode. In other instances,
pieces of shell are upon the ground. and
among the cedars handled them.
The graves of the dead are to be seen
everywhere, in untold numbers. The head
boards Of single graves indicate who many
of them are, giving names, regiments and
residences. Among the rebel graves found
the name of relative of my wife, captain
of artillery, from Alahamn, killed in the
fight on the Both of December. In many
instances bitches were dug, and from seventy
FIVE to hundred men packed into q di;ch.
The dirt upon many of these is only a few
inches deep, and in some instances hands and
feet sticking out. The greatest sight TO be
seen is that in front of where Gen Rosecrans
massed his artillery, say one hundred and
twenty guns. Dead horses and mules, and
an innumerable quantity of graves. tell the
effect CT these guns l could but feel sad as
passed over this terrible battle ground, and
yet felt that there thousands of Southern
soldiers in rebellion against the government
of the United States had villaniously sought,
and righteously found, their rights-not in
the territories but in the Cotton fields and
cedar thickets of state they had forced out
of the Union at The point of the bayonet,
ard in opposition to the known wishes of a
majority of the real people.-Parsoa BrO,cn,

the noble defenders Of the government
occasionally find it convenient to admonisb
their ardent disciples that they are making
rather too free exposure of their principles
and sentiments and that it is necessary to
wear the cloak little longer. But we learn
the true nature of these men by the utter
ances OF the ignorant masses who have been
educated in The dens and holes of these COP
perheads. These men talk treason and only
treason they know not how to cloak it, like

not be with resolved, persistent. indomita-

so firmly in all the United States that those
who believe not in them shall be silenced
forever? How shall the free and independ-

ANOTHER Coon Word FOR THE Con-
SCRIPTS. A correspondent of the WASH

the fight at Bristow Station, says:
81 am here compelled to say word Of
truth for the conscripts. Gen. Webb,
who had large number in his division,
speaks Of them in terms of wonder and ad-
miration. They stood in their places and
fought. No more can be said Of the brav-

A NOVEL METHOD OF SPURRING UP
Transfers. The Washington Repubh-
can relates that while Gen. Buford was
bringing up the rear during the late ret
rogade movement, with the rebels not far
behind him, he cameau with train Of
wagons several miles long, numbering, it
is SAID, about eight hundred. The train
was stopped and Buford could find no one
in command to start it. The teamsters
could not bs made to comprehend the dan
ger Gen. Buford adopted novel expe-
dent to start them. He brought up rifled
field piece and began throwing shells over
the wagons, with good elevation, which
had the effect of arousing the teamsters,
who thought the rebels were after them,
and whipping up their teams got safely
away.
