Heralds correspondent gives following particu-
lars of death of rebel Gen. Haygood: Rebels
found themselves under quadruple fire of musket-
ry and artillery, which caused them to throw
down their arms, which was considered as sign
of surrender Gen. Cutler sent Capt DAILY, of
his Staff, to receive them prisoners. Our men
having ceased firing, Capt. Daily told Haygood he
had been sent to receive his brigade as prisoners
of war, when without saying word Haygood
drew his revolver and shot DAILY, who lived only
half an hour-long enough to make statement
of the affair. Haygood, after shooting Daily,
| ordered his men to pick up muskets and fall
back, which they attempted to obey. Our men
commenced firing, when they threw down their
pieces again and gave themselves up prisoners.
Second volley added a large number to killed,
among them Haygood, who was shot through the
head. Prisoners taken were between 500 and
600 in number. Same correspondent states that
rebel prisoners report Gen. Hood killed on that
day.
