Generals Lee and Stunrt Still I'm.
hurf

PHILADELPHIA, May 16.--A special to the
Evening Telegraph from Washington, says
a surgeon of the 66th New York regiment,
who was captured with six hundred others
in the third days fight, and subsequently
paroled, came into our lines on Saturday
with the body of General Wadswortl
which had been inferred by the order OF
General Lee in neat coffin. He also saw
Gen. Longstreet in his tent He Is wound
ed in his collar-bone. The wound was not
mortal, but would incapacitate him for duty
for some time.
Gen. j. +. b. Stuart was not down at
Richmond at the time that Gen. Sheridan
was near there, and is now in Gen. Lees
army unhurt.
The rebel loss is tremendous, but there is
no indication of their giving up yet. The
rebel lines are well supplied by lines of in
terror works, and more are beng construct
ed.
Gen. Lee has not been wounde l. as the
surgeon saw and talked with him on Fri
day, when he gave him permission to take
the body of Gen. Wadsworth.
He is of the opinion that the rebels will
yet make desperate resistance. He says
their privations only seem to exasperate
them, and they are kept up by the hope and
idea of exhausting us and compelling us to
abandon the contest.
Gen. Crawford. who was cut of from his
command of Pennsylvania Reserves last
week, supposed to be prisoner is reported
to have rejoined the Reserves. .
Four more boat loads of wounded arrived
here this morning from Acqua Creek.
Some Ohio militia paraded along Penn
sylvania Avenue to-day, making fine ap::
pearance.

DARING HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Threc par
oled soldiers, belonging to Camp Chase,
started to the city the other day, and meeting
one of the National Guards, German, be-
tween camp and the toll gate, they knocked
him down and robbed him of everything of
value he had. Going on little further they
met another man, knocked him down and
robbed him of sixty dollars. Near the toll
gate they fell in with two citizens whom
they attempted to serve in the same way,
but the citizens were "too many" for the
thieves, and they abandoned the enterprise.
BY this time the German who was robbed
had reported his case at camp, and the off,
Ger of the day sent detachment after the
paroled men, who were arrested and COM
mitted to the rebel prison, with the ball
and chain attachment.

Row WITH CoLoRED CoNscRIPTs.-A col
ored individual named Higginbottom, who
happened to be among the drafted in Mr..
Lincoln's recent lottery, had a rough time
on Fourth street yesterday with squad of
soldiers who wanted to arrest him as de-
serter. The colored gentleman was not
prepared to fight for freedom, and there
fore delivered battle to those who were sent
to make him fight. Several shots were
fired in the skirmish without any one being
injured, and Higginbottom was taken off to
durance. Upon examining his papers, it
was found that he was half a century old,
and therefore exempt from the draft.
Another fight Of like character occurred
Oh the corner of Fourth and Gay streets,
which terminated without serious injury to
the combatants.
