"Misoegenation" in RiCbmond.

HARD sEr.-Annie Edward alias Finn, and
Ellen and Margaret Brown, three able-boded
almost white mulattoes were yesterday arrested
by Officer Ferrin-the first charged with vio-
lently abusing one James Smith, the two latter
for being from Culpeper county aud having no
free papers These women we're arrested by
our troops in Culpeper shortly after the battle
of Cedar Mountain, and sent to Richmond on
some charge affecting their loyalty. For q con-
siderable length of time they were kept in Castle
Thunder, and then turned out in the city. They
took up their abode in an old rattle trap of a
house in Exchange alley, where they have been
living loose and very disreputable liveB
When arrested yesterday, they represented
themselves as the special proteges of the Govern
msnt or at least of some of the Government Off
GERS here They say they have been drawing
regular rations, and sugar, coffee, and molasses
from the Government If this is q fact it is
disgraceful one. Three idle mulattoes, suppor
ted in vice and idleness by the Government,
whilst thousands of our best citizens, who have
been driven from their homes by the enemy,
want bread for themselves and their children.-

that his services be fully appreciated by higher
authorities.
The members of my staff discharged faithfully
their respective duties, for which they have my
Warmeet thanks.
Our losses in these battles were 757 killed, a..
629 wounded, and $50 missing-total, 6,Ol6 -
The loss Of the enemy in killed and wounded was
probably less than ours, owing to the faot that
he was protected by his entertainments while We
we're without cover At Knoxville, however, his
loss was many times greater than orrs-making
his entire loss at the two places equal to, if not
exceeding ours. We captured G,ll2 prisoners,
OF whom 2S9 were commissioned officers; 40
pieces of artillery, 60 artillery carriages and cas-.
sons, and 1000 stand of small arms
The Armies Of the Cumberland aud the Ten
nessee, for their energy aud unsurpassed brave.

the pursuit Of the enemy their patient endu-
rance in marching to the relief of Knoxville, and
the Army of the Ohio, for its mastery defence
of Knoxville. and repeated repulaes Of Long.
streets assaults upon that place are deserving Of
the gratitude Of their country.

The Massacre at Fort Pillow.

Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune.

Lee, however, arrived just before the battle be-
gan, and assumed command
To the shame of the Americans, be il said, on
the steamer Platte Valley were found men, some
Of them wearing the United States Uniform, who
lioniEed Chalmers, offering him every attention,
taking him into the ladies' cabin, and extending
10 him every kindness and courtesy imaginable,
appearing to be highly honored with his notice.
Those who thus disgraced the cause by favor
ing the villain Chalmers must not go unpunish-
ell, and their conduct must be Investigated and
rewarded according to their deserls 70 the

name unfortunately we could not learn, re-

bRrbarians, us they so truly proved themselves

After this the poor creatures would take refuge
behind white men, when the Rebels would FIRE,
frequently bridging down both white and black.
No attention was paid to the wounded, and the
cOmmOnest dictates of humanity were utterly
disregarded.
Inside of the works the most revolving specta-
Gle imaginable presented-itsef. The dead and
wounded we're lying in heaps, writhing 10 agony,
while from the consuming building came often
the ahrieks of the burning negroes.
Although nearly all the buildings in the fort
were burned with their contents, thirty or forty
barrels Of salt were preserved and carried off by
the Rebels.
