~The Philadelphia Telegraph says 'sthat a
letter has been received from q friend of the
late brave Colonel Dahlgren, who served with
that unfortunate officer during the recent raid
about Richmond, which states emphatically
that the so.called order alleged to have been
found upon the body Of Colonel Dahlgren, was
a fabrication and forgery in toto. No such or
der was ever written, issued, printed or even
considered by the noble young Colonel, as far
as his friends are apprised. 1t is believed that
this miserable lie was gotten mp for effect, to
cover the indigni les visited upon the remains
OF Dahlgren."-

AN OUTRAGEOUS CASE OF RoBBKnY.-Ies-
terday afternoon about O'Clock. IL soldier
ramed John Mccarthy. a member OF the 69th
regiment New York volunteers, who has re-
enlisted, and was on his way home, but was
stopping temporarily At = clearinghouse on
street, near iGtn, was de coyed away by Den-
mis- Kenner, a corporal Of the 9th battalion of
the Invalid Corps, stationed at the corner Of
2.d street and the avenue, and taken to a ium-
Der yard On Tenth street., near the canal, where
he was shamafuiiy beaten and robbed of $500
IN ereanbacks. Information of the outrage WAS
given to detectives M cDevitt and C!arvoe about
six O'Clock last evening. aud after working all
night they, at about one O'Clock this morning,
tound Kenner at his quarters, aud arrested
him. All the money stolen was recovered ex-
cept about SO. Mccarthy was most brutaIly
bpaten, and is in d really dangerous condition,
as there is danger of erysipelas setting in.
As, So many of these scoundrels have es-
capped jnst punishment. by the absence of
prosecuting witnesses (soldiers), who could not
well remain here, the detectives were deter
mined to leave no room for Kenner to escape,
and therefore went before the grand jury this
morning and had him at once indicted, and ef-
forts will be made to have him tried at once,
and before the prosecuting witness can leave
the city, and 1t is to be hoped that ample JUS
tice will be melted out TO him.
