five deser,ers from The one hundred anC
eighteenth Pennsylvania Regiments weIe

is said about twenty five thousand troops
Witnessed the terrible scene. Some OF The
newly drafted men were present. The sol.
emR affair took place somewhere in the
army OF the Potomac; the precise spot anc
aud name Of place, we do not remember.
The prisoners were substitutes for some OF
the drafted men, Two were Prussians, Two
Italians, and the other, if our memory
serves as correct, German. Que among
the lot was Protestant; the other Catholics.
These poor fellows where made an example
Of, by order of the Washington war Aulhor-

country. What terrible thing il is that such
stringent measures have TO be enforced TO
keep men into The army to fight this
war.
