The Death Of Gen. HArkSdale.

The following particulars Of the death Of
the noted rebel Gen. Vim. Barksdale, have
Just been communicated to me. Lt.-Coionel

on Major Gen. Doubleday's staff, on the night
of Thursday, July 5, went out In the extreme
front TO discover If possible the body, he
having been informed BY prisoner Of the
locality where Barksdale was shot. The spot
was about quarter Of mile In advance Of
our pickets, and Col. Livingston, with his
small party Of st1etcher- bearers, was once
driven In BY rebel scouts, but on second at
tempt was so fortunate Is to be successful.
The body Of the General was found, life was
not ret extinct, but his wound was mortal
one. He was lifted upon the stretcher, and
beinga very heavy person, eight men were
required to bear his weight. He declared
with his last breath that he was proud Of the
cause he died in fighting for, proud Of the
manner in which he had received his death
wound that the rebels we're inyinctblc, and
although repulsed that day they were sure Of
victory on the morrow. He left with Col.
Livingston his watch, pocket book and other
trinkets, to be sent to bis friends In Missis'
Eippi. Barkstlale, as every one knows, wal

The Latest EeWs-Arrival of Wounded-Yankee Gun
heats in the Pamunkey


Various rumors were in circulation, yesterday, re-
specng the Yankee marauders in the upper country,
aud large portion of the community induced to
believe for time that railroad communication with our
army had been again interrupted. This apprehension
was relieved to great extent during the afternoon, by
the receipt of telegram from GuinHeys station in
forming Dr. Hancock that several trains with wounded
soldiers had started for the city
As the probable hour of their arrival was ascertaned
to be o'clock large crowd assembled on Broad street
at the hour indicated, among whom were many ladies'
guard composed of volunteers for the occasion was
posted on either side of the track for several squares
TO keep the crowd off from the trains upon their arrival
About O'Clock, the pioneer train" conveying the
military escort arrived The other trains bringing the
sick and wounded followed brief intervals; aud with
all possible expedition, tie wounded were removed to
the hospitals. number Of ladies and gentlemen were
present. dispensing cOrda and other refreshments to
the sufferers.
We were unable to obtain much definite information
from persons arriving on these trains The letters from
our attentive army Correspondent which we have the
satisfaction of laying before readers this morning.
embrace all the chief points OF interest not heretofore
published The only additional noteworthy fact which
we elected last night in regard to the condition of
our troops Though somewhat atgued by their partci-
patton in the recent battles, they have not become par
italy dsorganzed by struggling former occasions.
The various regiments are, for the most part in good
plight and the men, one and ALL in the finest spirits, re
joieing in their triumph over the AbOidons.s.
There is much anxiety to ascertain the names of the
killed and wounded but beyond the lists of patients ad-
mited into the hospitals the information cannot be OBJ
tanned yet Mr. Crocker Superintendent of the Inteli
geuce Office, is now in Fredericksburg collecting official
lists OF casualties and will probably return in day
two.
Number of Yankee officers including Brig. Gen. Hays,
were brought down on one of the trains last night and
provided with suitable lodgings at the Libby The
commissioned officers and privates will be marched down
from Guinneys The number of prisoners captured in
the several battles is estimated by high as
$4,000.
The Yankee general killed at Charlottesville was
Brigadier Birney.
Intelligence was brought to the city last evening by
the York River train that eight Yankee gunbOats and
transports had appeared at the White House the Pa
munky river Thetrau LEFT an hour sooner than usual
il consequence of their approach. We have not heard
whether the transports brought up troops not but
presume they did. We also have a report that Yan-
kes force from the Peninsula had reached New Kent
court house These movements are no doubt intended
as diversions aud viii be treated accordingly.
