SOME o! the papers are worrying
themselves about the cost Of the new
ly-called hundred thousand yolun-

at one hundred thousand millions of
dollars If they can succeed in crush

TO talk about the expense Of de-

Tue WOUNDED IT GETrYSBuRG.-
Receut letters from the scene Of the
late conflict describe the condition Of
our wounded as most depIorable.-
In the awful struggles of the three
DAYS fight the clothing of many was
partly torn from them, and then,
when wounded, what few articles
they had remaining were so covered
with blood aud dust, that it was
necessary 10 strip them entirely, 50
that many Of the poor fellows are
now in tie hospitals completely
naked. The lady nurses are not
permitted to cutcr some places owing
to this fact.
Other w0uuded men are compelled
to lie oft under shelter tents, with
nothing over them in the way of
clothing but sheet. One kind
friend took a sheet out of a trunk
AMI covered ionr exposed fellows
with it. The wounds Of many, ow-
ing to this awful exposure, have al
ready been filed with larvae, So that

The latest adviees from Charleston are
not indicative of full improvement Of
the progress which has been made. GEN
eral Gilmore has splendidly accomplished
the work set for him to do, viz: the redue-
ton Of Fort Sumter, but Admiral Dahl
gren seems TO strangely, and it is feared
fatally, delay an advance Of the Navy.
This may all be but the fOreOOdings of q
correspondent. We hope it is, and that
the Navy will finish what the Army has so
gloriously begun.
Shells Of a new and destructive con-
structiOn we're sent into the city on the
23d and Oath, causing very lively ske-
daddle, Greek Ere is just the thing for
such hre-eaters as the Charlestonians have
bOasted Of being.

Poe's story Of the prisoner who was put
in an iron cell, and daily saw the walls
contract and the ceiling descend till he
felt that his death was inevitable and he
could only watch it coming closer and
closer, came pretty nearly being realized
in one o. its most terrible aspects in the
case Of regrO described in the Louisville
Journal of Monday. It says:
"a negro man, slave. named David, en-
pioyed at Peters s. MeDonald's Marble
Yard, on Green street, between Eighth
and Ninth, yesterday went into boiler
in the engine room attached To the yard to
clean it out. He put his leg between the
hues in order to get q position to work
more effectively. The cavity was only
large enough to receive the leg, and after
being n that position a few minutes his
leg became so swollen that all efforts to
withdraw it were in vain The poor fellow
up to yesterday evening had not been re-
lisved, having been in that unpleasant
situation since early in the morning, his
leg swelling larger during the time. The
boiler is not much more than large enough
for mans body to enter, consequently the
situation is such that TO remove him or cut
the iron around his swollen limb is next
to impossible. Every effort has been made
TO save him from horrible death"
The POOR fellow was subsequently got
out in some way, and his life saved.
