A dispatch from Washington on Monday states
that the Subcommittee on the Conduct of the
War, Senator Wade and Representative Gooch,
have returned from Fort Pillow. They took
ifty-seyen dispositions, all of which more than
confirm the newspaper accounts of the massacre,
They say that it would be impossible to exag-
gerate the crueltes committed,
.smong- the witnesses who were examined is
the negro who was buried alive, and who dug
himself out OF his own grave. There is no doubt
of the fact that one or more persons were nailed
through their flesh to pieces of wood and then
burnt alive. Not only on the day of the surren-
der were such 6endish acts perpetrated, but on
the next day in cold blood. The victims seen
by the Committee were, some of them, pierced
and cut ia the face and eyes with bayonets and
swords, while other parts of their bodies were
MANNED and dis6gured, either By steel or lead.

boat to the wharf, got his foot entangled in the
rope, and the boat being in rapid motion took

The SToRM.-A severe storm of wind and rain,
accompanied with lightning and thunder, visited
this place on Monday evening last. The wind
was stronger than any we have before known on
the Point, and quite large quantity of the
roofing was blown from the different houses. A
portion of the roof from one of the store-houseS
was torn off and thrown with such force against
the commissary building as to injure it very
much We have heard nothing of accidents on
the water, but notice several launches which
drifted ashore near the wharves The storm
lasted about an hour.
