YANKEE CRUELTY--FORTY.THREE
NEGROES DROWNED.


One OF the most atrocious ineidsnts Of the
whole war was yesterday related 70 ne BY 6
gentleman Of this city, who obtained the facts
from Capt Jaa q. White, Of King william
county, who vouches for the aecurssy Of the
statement Some days ago. when the Yam.
ksss made their raid 70 Aylsttss, they visited
the place Of DR.. Gregg, living in the nsighbor
hood, and took from thsir comfortable homes
forty three negroes, who were hurried of to
York river and placed on board . vessel bound
northward. Along with these negroea, a. q
prisoner, was gentleman named Lee, a resi-
dent and highly respectable citizen of King
William, who has since been released and al.
lowed to return to his home. He states that
when the vessel arrived in Chesapeake Bay
The smallpox made Its appearance among the
negroes, that disease having existed to some
extent among the same family before they
were dragged from their homes In King vii.
liam. The Captain of the Yankee vessel and
his crew were greatly alarmed at the appear.
ance Of the disease ON board, and very soon
determined to rid tho vessel of the presence of
the negroes. Without attempting to make the
shore, and, not considering for An instant the
inhumanity of the cruel deed, the whole ne.
gro cargo was thrown Into the Bay, and every
one left 70 perish by drowning. Not one,
perhaps, escaped the cruel fae visited upon
them by those who profess to be their earnest
friends aud warmest sympathizsrs

RosEcRAEs's OPTICAL REPoRT OF THE
Bate OF HURFREEEsBoRo'.-The following
statistical extract from Rosecrans's report Of
the battle Of Murfressboro' is taken from the
Journal of Commerce:
We moved on the enemy with the following
forces: Infantry, Al, ,42l; artillery, 1928; cav.
airy, 1896. Total, 49, $40.
We fought the battle with the following {:
Infantry. 81 ,977; artillery, 223 cavalry, 200.
Total, 43, 400.
We lost in killed. Officers, so; enlisted men,
1,44l. Total, $3.50.
We lost in wounded-O Officers, 1874; enlisted
men, 6,86l. Total, 7,245. Total, killed and
wounded, S,778 Being twenty and one-third
per cent. Of the forces In action.
Rosecrans then estimates our forces at g.
4S0-puts our loss down at IA $50, and claims
to have whipped Bragg In every fight Of equal
numbers on equal ground.
He only failed Of achieving "crushing"
victory by extending his right wing too far
out They fred 2, 600 600 rounds of musketry,
and estimate that one bali out of l45 hit q
rebel They fred 10000 rounds of artillery,
and believe that they put one rebel out Of the
fight every 9th shot This is the way they
arrive at our loss. His report concludes
'On the whole, it Ia evident that we fought su-
perior numbers, on unknown ground, infiicting
much more injury than We suitsredr

WHEAT SPEcuLAroRs.-The Milledgsvills
(Ga) Recorder has the following paragraph
about wheat spectators in the Confsdsraoy.
There is no doubt that the large dour holders
will make desperate effort to save themselves
from loss:
Several of our exchanges notice the fact
that persons have been offering ten dollars per
bushels for tho growing crop Of wheat, with
the design Of keeping up the price Of -four, to
prevent loss on the large stocks which have
higher prices. 1t Is stated that one firm has
/, 500 barrels which cost go per barrel If the
price ia brought down 70 $50, which We think
will be the case when the abundant crop now
ready for harvesting shall be thrown upon the
market, the less on the single lot will b &c.,:
prices az heretofore, these heartless spscula.

deal in order to save themselves, II possible.

THE WAR IN THE SOUTHWEST
MURFREESBORO, VICKSBUR0.

The armies at Tullahoma and Murfreeeboro'
are getting little nearer still Our cavalry
drove the Federals out Of Readyville to within
two miles of Murfreesboro', on the 4th inst
It is positively ascertained that Rosecrans has
sent from 5000 to $4,000 men to Grant, and
his movements during the last week indicate
retrograde march towards Nashville. It is
said that his headquarters are in that city, and
that all his heavy artillery has been sent from
Murfreesboro' across the river to Edgefeld,
about five miles from Nashville. If Rosecrans
has not taken shelter in that city, he will
soon be starved out, az the Cumberland river
is falling rapidly, and in q few days navigation
will be finished, thus leaving him only rail-
road line of Communication by which to re-
oeive his supplies. This line he knows from
experience can be rendered useless by Confed
crate cavalry raids, and he will hardly trust
it. His forces have occupied Liberty small

cording to her account, she Yankees had made
their second attempt to escape by way Of Va

$4,000 reinforcements q few days ago, Hurl

we're to come from unlsss Memphis and the

that movement has been decided on. So it ap.

ANECDOTES OF GEN. BUroRD. The
late Maj Gen. Buford, than whom proba-
bly, no commander was 40 devotedly loved
by those around him, was offered Major
Generals commission in the Rebel army
when in Utah. He crushed the communi-
cation in his hand, and declared that he
would 1.-Two and die under tho flag Of the
Union. A few hours before his death, and
while suffering from dslrium, he roundly
scolded his negro servant; but recovering
himself temporarily, he called the negro to
his bedside and said to him: Edward, ]
hear have been scoldiag you. did not
know what was saying. You have been
faithful servant, Edward" The poor ne.
gro sat down and wspt as though his heart
was broken. When General Buford re.
ceived his commission as Major-General, he
exclaimed, 'Now. wish that could live.
His last ineligible words, uttered during
an attack Of delirium, we're: Put guards on
all the roads, and don't let the men run
back to the rear" This was an illustration
Of the ruling passion strong in death, for no
trait in Gen. Buford's character was more
conspicuous than his dislike to SEQ men

William Fl. Graham. brother Of George
R. Graham, the founder Of Glaham's Mag
axine, and himself co-partner in that pe-
riodical, and afterward one of the proprie-
tors Of the Philadelphia North American,
died in grocery store in New York ON Fri.
day Of iptemperance and exposure. He had
been picked up in the street in the most pit
liable condition, his clothes being soaked
with the rain, and his whole appearance
denoting poverty and wrstchednsss: He
was hardly able to speak when brought in,
and after uttsring few incoherent remarks
sank on the floor and expired. The cause
Of his death was undoubtedly intemperance,
and such was the verdict of the Corsnsr's
jury. The lungs were tuberculous, the right
one containing large cavity, caused by ul,
csration. The heart and liver were both
fatty, and oil the other viscers presented
traces Of long continued indulgence in in
toxicating drinks. Mr.. Graham was ma
tive Of Philsdelphia, and = man Of fine tai
ents. He was about forty years Of age d
the time Of his death. i,. j. y,

since their captivity their fate has been in.
volved in profound mystery. Nothing Of
6oial could be learned concerning them, and
from ths wsll-kucwn vindictivsness Of ths
rebel military authorities, the worst was ap.
pretended.
information has bsee received at the Wsr
Department, by way Of Texas, stating that
these apprehensions werttoo well founded.
1t appears that the prisoners were conveyed
into the country several uilss and placed in
close confinement No intimatiou Of their
fate was given them. After several days
the two officers were taken out at dead Of
night and the word given out that they had
escaped. It now appears that they were
hanged without previous notice or even q
semblance of trial, in obcdience to . secret
order from the rebel Secretary Of War A
few days afterward the other prisoners also
disappeared mysteriously, and there is no
doubt that they also were secretly murdered
by direction of the Richmond authorities. =
What retaliation shall be inflicted for these
most barbarous atrocities is yet to be deter
mined. 1t does not appear as yet that any
colored soldier has fallen into the hands oi
the rebels who was not either put to death
on the spot or subsequently assassinsted in
secret by order from Rishmond.-tN. Y.
