ANOTHER ACCOUNT or THE EXPLOSION.
DEATH OF COL. sTEDMAN
Dsserters Fired Upon Through Mis-
take,

A letter from the Army OF the Potomac, dated
lieved the purpose Of the enemy on Friday was
to blow up fort in front Of the 5th corps, but
that their design WIS to damage mine which
they suspected was being dug in front Of tho
18th corps.
Certain 1t is there was an explosion, what.
ever may have been the object oft.
Our men were considerably startled, and
every one rushed TO his post, when a rapid fire
commenced from our line In the direction the
enemy were supposed to be advancing. As
soon as the smoke cleared away the true state
Of affairs was discovered and firing at once
ceased.
A stray ball struck Col, Stedman, command
ing I'd brigade, Cd division, 18th corps, which
soon after resulted in death. he was q gallant
officer, and his services were highly appre-
ciated.
A party Of fifty deserters started TO come into
our lines yesterday morning at an early hour.
when our gunners, not knowing their inten-
ton, opened fire on them, killing and wounding
about twenty Of them. Nine Of them arrived
at headquarters Saturday forenoon, some Of
them wounded.
They represent the confederacy as being In q
bad way on account Of the state OF affairs a,
Atlantai and tell how their army was fright
ened on the previous Saturday when the mine
was sprung, all leaving their guns and running
back some distance, fearing another explosion.
These prisoners say the reason why the sol
diers do not exchange papers is because they
are ordered not to do 30, but this would be Of
no effect If they could afford 10 buy thsm, th,
price being forty cents apiece, and they hav
i. not been paid of for long time.
b Very little firing took place Saturday.

Arrival OF Escaped Union Prisoners-
Narrative OF their Adventures In ths
GanfsAsraev

Confedsracy.
The following Is the statement Of two SOL
diers Of Hancock's corps, who were taken
prisoners at Petersburg, and recently sue
eeeded in making their way to the fleet off
Charleston
ave were captured at Petersburg on the
18th Of June, and were taken 10 Dawsyille, on
the way to Georgia. We escaped from the
cars near Columbus, and took course for the
coast. We Travelled all night, and hid away
during the day, obtaining food from the ne
groes.
"The negro families are suffering very much.
They were all glad to SEQ us, would divide their
last mouthful with us, watched for us and gave
timely notice Of danger.
"We came down the Cooper river, forty
miles, In small boat, and landed In little
creek above Hay Island Just at daylight on the
7th instant. We moored our boat on an old
pier, climbed upon the pier and went 10 sleep.
When we awoke our boat was gone.
1.-TWO iron-clads came In from picket duty
shortly after daylight. Three other iron -clads
are building, but we could not see how nearly
they were completed, but they had no plating
on them. We passed one wooden gunboat In
the night. AT II O'Clock We saw boat coming
TO the pier, when we waded through the mud
to the woods. We there found negroes who
look care OF us, and at night gave us o little
dug. out, and piluted us down Horse creek. We
then started for Morris Island, but the current
carried us out to sea, and we got 10 the heet,
The Daffodil took us on board at Q a. m.
"A negro woman said there had been troops
brought back TO Charleston.
The negroes get but very little to eat.
I'VE stopped at one house on the OrangeburR
road where were four women whose hush ands are
In the rebel army. They were very destitute, and
say that the people Of the South are sick and
tired OF the war. The people themselves are
willing TO give up niggers and everything If the
war will only stop. We passed ourselves of
as confederate soldiers.
The railroads are very poor, and the trains
were running only about ten miles per hour.
The running gear and tracks are much worn.
Schooners run up the Cooper river manned en-
tirely by negroes. .
Some Of the prisoners on the car with US
Were from Richmond, and being removed
South. They looked very badly.
I'VE talked with many men In the army
and all said they were sick Of the war, and
would bo glad 10 take the oath Of allegiance"
