NEW YORK, Oct. Il.
A letter from General Buffers Head
quarters TO the Philadelphia Enquirer,
contains long account of Rebel atrocities
and murders committed on Union soldiers,
the facts being gathered from exchanged
Union officers and surgeons. This letter
says;
According to tho accounts of several
officers and surgeons, the conduct of the
rebel troops subsequent 10 tha engage
ment at Saltville, was utterly lawless and
brutal. .
In two field hospitals near the scene OF
the battle, were twenty-three wounded ne
groes, Of the Ist colored cavalry, fifteen in
one and eight in tine otner, ali but three of
whom were murdered in cold blood by the
rebel soldiers, and these fiends in human
form, boosted, while doing this hellish deed
that they had been engaged in the same
work all day. They claimed to have buried
lbs colored soldiers, of whom nearly all
must have besn slaughtered in the same
way, as it Is said scarcely dozen were
killed in the battle.
The Posts Washington special contains
the following:
Persons who have arrived here to-day
from SherIdan's army, and who witnessed
the last battle, say that it was the most
complete victory of the war. The rebel
forces were shattered, and fed in confu.
sion, sbsndoning their own artillery and
ali they had captured in the earlier part
of the day. Sheridan has already pushed
on for distance of ten miles in pursuit oi
the enemy. He has sufficient force fol
all contingencies, and will probably be
heard from again tomorrow.
