The Condition of the Second Senatorial
Regiment.

A resident of this city, having friends in the
Second Senatorial, or 139th Regiment Volunteers,
under command of Col. Anthony Conk, has re-
cently paid them a visit at Camp Hamilton, Fort-
ress Monroe. He found them well situated and
the men in good health, notwithstanding preju-
dicial statements to the contrary. The gentle-
man in a communication to this paper says :

"No regiment in the service to-day is in a better state of discipline. The general health of the men is good. Everything connected with the camp is neat and clean. Their spiritual welfare is not neglected. Religious meetings are held nightly at the "Sugar House," by the Chaplain, and on Sunday five were baptised. To-day they number over 850 men. Take it into consideration that they have recruited none since they left here, I am sure it is not so bad. The food is nutricious and wholesome, and the chief aim of the officers is to promote the comfort of their men. The pay rolls are made out and in a few days the paymaster will be along with the "greenbacks." I would say in conclusion, Mr. Editor, to those who have friends there and who have got the idea the men are ill-used, to visit them and they will find out 'tis all moonshine.

Mr. James C. Fitzpatrick's Despatch.

CITY POINT, Va., Oct. 3, 1864.

THE CHECK OF THE NINTH CORPS.

An undue importance should not be attached to the reverse which lately attended the efforts of the Ninth corps to advance our line beyond that of the Fifth corps. The position then fought for has been won, and our troops are still slowly pushing forward to the inevitable capture and destruction of that road so important to the enemy as a means of obtaining supplies—the Southside Railroad.

PRISONERS TAKEN BY THE ENEMY.

About two thousand prisoners fell into the enemy's hands, belonging principally to the Fifty-first New York, Twenty-first Massachusetts, Forty-fifth Pennsylvania and Seventh Rhode Island. Their capture is the one only circumstance connected with the fight which the enemy can console themselves with in their defeat; and now I learn that our cavalry yesterday retook six hundred of these prisoners while the rebels were escorting them southward.

THE WOUNDED

are arriving from the front continually, and are at once placed on transports and sent North. The railroad people have been unremitting in their labors and earnest in their kindness and care of the wounded, for whose transportation the cars were comfortably bedded with straw.

DESULTORY FIRING.

There is desultory cannonading at the front this morning.

Our special despatches, published this morning, from
the armies in front of Petersburg and Richmond,
are very interesting. On Saturday our lines on the
extreme left, west of Petersburg, were advanced
three-quarters of a mile further than the posi-
tion we held after the gallant capture of works from
the enemy on Friday, and at the date of the latest
accounts our troops were strongly intrenched close to the
Southside Railroad, that most important line of supplies
to Lee, leading from Lynchburg to Petersburg. On the
same day a reconnaissance was made by a division
of the Second corps as far as the Boynton road, over
which the rebels wagon their supplies brought up by the
Weldon Railroad around that portion of it held by the
Union army. A formidable line of works was found there,
and other valuable information was gained, after which
the reconnoitring force fell back, with the loss of only
a few wounded. On Sunday our cavalry recaptured, as
they were being escorted South, six hundred of our men
belonging to the Ninth corps, who had been taken by the
rebels on Friday owing to a gap occurring between the
Fifth and Ninth corps when they were moving on the
works of the enemy, which they subsequently captured.

The 51st Regiment N. Y. Vols. Captured as Prisoners.

Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.

IN THE FIELD BEFORE PETERSBURGH, VA.

Tuesday, Oct. 4, 1864.

The 51st Regiment N. Y. Volunteers (Shepard's Miles), belonging to the 9th Army Corps, were among the list of prisoners taken by the enemy during the action of the 30th ult. on the left of the Weldon Road. The regiment went into the action numbering over five hundred men, and, save a few stragglers, was captured entire. The regiment is reported to have acted with its manual bravery and dash. The officers when last seen were at the head of the regiment leading and urging the

men to the charge. The fault of the capture does not fall to them, as they were carrying out the orders brave ly, the troops on the right and left gave back before the charge of the enemy in great confusion, when the Rebels closed in on their flanks and rear, completely hemming them in. The casualties as near as I, an learn, are not very severe. Lieut. Frank Butler, was seen to fall mortally wounded, the ball entering his groin. The following is a list of the officers repond captured: Major James G. Wright, commanding; Capt. — Wright, Co. B.; Capt. G. Whittman, Co. K.; Capt. C. Walton, Co. E.; Lieut. F. Butler, Lieut. G. Acker- son, Lieut. H. Gronmeyer, Lieut. Samuel Pooley, Lieut — Waldren.

# The Death of Capt. Alexander.

## LETTER FROM COL. ROBERTS.

BROOKLYN, N. Y., Nov. 11, 1864.

Mr. William Alexander:

MY DEAR SIR: Permit me to tender to yourself and your stricken family my heartfelt sympathy in the great loss you have sustained in the death of your noble son, Lieut. William H. Alexander, 139th N. Y. Vols.

The circumstances of his death you are already familiar with, and I need not repeat them; but I cannot refrain from saying a few words in regard to his character as an officer and a soldier.

I am glad to be able to say that in all the time he has been in our regiment he has not failed to win the respect and confidence alike of officers and men.

His fine form and soldierly bearing made him conspicuous upon occasions of parade and ceremony. His coolness and daring made him equally conspicuous upon the field of battle.

His intercourse with his fellow-soldiers was marked by a gentlemanly kindness which made him hosts of friends, and his official duties were performed in such a manner as to meet the approbation of his superior commanders.

Your son had escaped so many perils, had come out unscathed from so many terrible conflicts, that it almost seemed he bore a charmed life; but at last a fatal messenger found him in conversation with a group of his brother officers in a place of comparative safety, and he instantly yielded up the life that he had offered to his country so many times before.

We all mourn our loss. You have lost an endearing and loving son; I have lost a cherished friend; the regiment has lost a well-tried and faithful officer, and our common country one of its bravest defenders. But while we mourn let us take consolation from the thought that he died while in the faithful discharge of his duty to our beloved country, and in passing from our sight he rests in the hands of Him "who doeth all things well."

I may say, in closing, that he had been recommended for a well-earned promotion, and at the time of his death I was in daily expectation of receiving his commission as Captain. In fact, he had been doing a Captain's duty nearly all summer.

I am, sir, very respectfully your obedient servant,
S. H. ROBERTS,
Colonel 139th N. Y. V.

The funeral, it will be remembered, takes place to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.

To the Members and Ex-members of the 139th N. Y. Vols.:

The late Lieut. Wm. H. Alexander, of our regiment, is to be buried to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from his father's residence, corner of Dean and Hoyt streets. You all knew him to have been one of the bravest soldiers in the service, and I shall feel personally gratified if you will attend his funeral in uniform.

S. H. ROBERTS, Colonel.

DIED.

ALEXANDER.—The funeral of Lieut. Wm. H. Alexander, Company F, 139th N. Y. Volunteers, will take place from the residence of his parents, No. 59 Hoyt et., to-morrow at 2 o'clock. The friends and relatives of the family are respectfully invited to attend the funeral, also officers of returned regiments or veterans now in the city.

it really is not fit to be characterized to ears
polite.

In the first place, I was hurried home from a
ride among that range of mountains which
lies a magnificent rampart of beauty on the
sunset side of the Hudson. I had planned the
trip in those warm days when Long Island lay
like a yeast-cake, but out to dry in the sun,
with its yellow face seamed and warped, and
its great harvest fields groaning audibly
for the summer rains; and I had
planned it with a special remembrance
of the foul persecutions of the sea-side, and of
the unutterable discomforts of watering-
places. I meant to spend a full week among
the glorious gorges which divide the sides of
the Catskills, and I meant to spend it on
horseback. I did not, however—and I am
fatalistically inclined to believe that I never
do—carry out my plans. I came hurrying
back before my time to attend to the manifold
duties which crowd upon the heels of the
opening of a campaign. My only compensa-
tion lies in a gigantic eagle pictured before
me at the head of the columns of THE UNION,
above which the types shout "Victory!" I
shall not stop to decide whether the compen-
sation is sufficient. I leave that to my loyal
readers, and proceed to tell of just one incident
in my abbreviated trip.

I and my companion rode up from the village
of Catskill one sunny September morning to
the Cauterskill Falls—not a long, but a hard
ride for one out of practice. We added to the
disabilities of fatigue the burden of an enor-
mous dinner, and then proceeded to let our
selves down by slow degrees along the steps
which lead to the bottom of the great ravine.
When once we were fairly arrived, the sordid
publican who controls the creek—moved
thereto by sundry shinplasters—lifted the

To the Editor of The Union :

DEAR SIR : Be kind enough to give place in your valuable paper to the following notice :

The parents of Serg't Geo. E. Winslow desire to express their most heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the noble and generous manner in which Company D, of the Twenty-third Regiment, N. Y. N. G., chose to pay the last tribute of respect to one of their former companions.

Although not an officer of rank (but on the eve of promotion) he was buried with military honors due only to one of higher rank.

May the blessing of God ever rest upon that noble regiment, and upon the members of Company D in particular, is the earnest prayer of the bereaved parents.

A BROOKLYN SOLDIER, AND A NOBLE ONE.—
The friends of Capt. George W. Whitman, of this city,
captured last September in battle near Petersburgh,
Va., will be glad to learn that he has just been heard
from, though for the first time since his capture.

George Whitman, who was born and raised in Brook-
lyn, and after a service of three months in the summer
of 1861, in the 13th Regiment of this city, on returning
here again, joined the 51st New York, (Ninth Army
Corps,) was mustered in as a private, left with the regi-
ment in October, 1861, being immediately promoted to
Sergeant Major.

At the battle of Roanoke he was promoted to a Second
Lieutenancy; at Antietam was made First Lieutenant,
and at Fredericksburgh, December, 1862, was commis-
sioned as Captain; all these steps for conduct in the
field. He has been in genuine fighting service in all
parts of the war, including the Carolina coast, the bat-
tles above named, most parts of Northern and Eastern
Virginia and Western Maryland, also Vicksburgh, Jack-
son, Knoxville, Chattanooga, &c., down to the campaign
inaugurated last May by Gen. Grant in the Wilderness.
He took part in the hottest service there, and so on
through Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, &c., to the Peters-
burgh investment; and was in the battle of the mine
explosion last July.

On September 30th, at the battle of Poplar Grove
Church, Capt. Whitman was among those cut off on the
extreme left at nightfall and captured; he was acting
Lieut.-Colonel of his regiment at the time. Since then
his relatives here have had no word or knowledge of
him until yesterday they received by the hands of an
exchanged prisoner a small slip of paper written in pen-
cil by Capt. Whitman's hand stating that he was at Dan-
ville, Va., and doing well. The slip is dated November
22, 1864.

We have to add that from other information received
here it is feared that Lieut. Frank Butler, of this city,
also an officer of the 51st, who was badly wounded in
the action of September 30th, and fell into the rebels'
hands, is dead.

It is presumed that some fourteen other officers of the
51st are confined at Danville.

Fifty-First Regiment, N. Y. V. (Remnant).
[Special Correspondence of the N. Y. Sunday Mercury.]

VICINITY OF WELDON RAILROAD, Oct. 3.
The Late Advance—Mismanagement—Capture of Union Troops—A Partial List.

You must excuse the hurriedness of this sketch, but circumstances demand that I should not delay even a partial detail of the present condition of the regiment.

On the 30th inst., the regiment advanced with the brigade in advance of the Fifth Corps, to take the second line of works of the enemy, when, by some mismanagement, the Rebs surrounded them, and of the number that went into the engagement only some two or three escaped.

Capt. Chas W. Walton, acting Lieut. William Hatch, and Orderly-Sergeant Dewitt C. Flagler were the lucky ones that escaped capture; the two latter were slightly wounded.

The following officers and acting-officers are in the hands of the enemy: Major John G. Wright, Captain George W. Whitman, First-Lieutenants Frank Butler—known to be wounded—Samuel Pooley, William T. Ackerson, Falin H. Sins, Frederick C. Walton, and William Caldwell; Second-Lieutenant James H. CarbERRY; also, Acting Adjutant Schuyler J. Murden, Acting Lieutenants Herman Grovenemyer, Charles W. Hoyme, Thomas F. Farmer, John Loughran, Martin Wilbeck, and Acting Sergeant-Major Daniel Delaney, of Company G.

Among the list of wounded I name: Sergeant John Allen, Co. A; First Sergeant John Cambot, Co. D; Jacob Germain, Co. D. They are in our possession, and I believe their wounds are slight. I will be better enabled to give a more definite account and list of names in my next.

Notwithstanding the great loss in prisoners from our regiment, it is not considered that our Army is altogether worsted; but, on the contrary, holding their own and a little more, too. The Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers suffered likewise.

Trusting that the late move will meet with success, I remain

With all its hardships and deprivations, give me an
army on the march. There is a magnetism about the
measured tramp of armed regiments, the galloping of
cavalry, with clattering sabers, the rattling artillery
trains, the champing, prancing, restless horses everywhere,
the long lines of glittering muskets and bayonets,
the fluttering and rustling of beautiful banners,
the melodious notes of the bugle o'er hill and plain, the
martial music of the shrill fife and muffled drum, and
the clear, loud voices of brave commanders giving orders
to their men, that is in striking contrast with the
dull monotony of camp life, and inspiration of some of
the noblest thoughts and impulses of manhood.

Mr. W. D. McGregor's Despatches.

HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Oct. 2—Evening.

No fighting has occurred on this line to-day.

The rebels fell back this morning to their main line of works, which runs from the lead works to the Southside Railroad, or near it.

This position of the rebels is a very strong one, and cannot easily be carried.

A division of the Second corps advanced to the Boynton road, over which the enemy wagon their supplies to Petersburg. Two lines of works were found unoccupied, only a skirmish line opposing the advance, which fell back as our troops went forward.

Near the Boynton road, a very formidable line of works was found, behind which the rebels were posted in heavy force. It was not deemed advisable to attack, and our men fell back, and occupy a safe position. They lost a few wounded in the advance.

Our loss on Friday was greater than at first stated. The total in killed, wounded and prisoners will foot up not far from two thousand, more than half of whom were taken prisoners.

This occurred in consequence of a gap being left between a part of the Fifth and Ninth corps, through which the enemy charged, and flanked the Second division of the Ninth corps.

Among the casualties are the following:—

Lieutenant Colonel Otis, commanding the First brigade of the division of General Ayres, wounded in the face, but not seriously.

Colonel Zim, of the Eighty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, wounded in the leg.

Captain Snyder, One Hundred and Twentieth New York, wounded.

Captain Fish, of the Eighth infantry, wounded seriously in the head.

A shell from one of the rebel batteries grazed General Meade's boot leg to-day, took a piece from the tail of General Humphrey's horse, and entered the ground between Generals Bartlett and Griffin. Fortunately it did not explode, else we should probably have had to chronicle a loss which this army could illly afford just now.

EXHIBITION DRILL OF THE AMBULANCE AND
SANITARY CORPS AT THE ACADEM OF MUSIC ON
TUESDAY EVENING.—Agreeably to announce-
ment, an exhibition drill of the Ambulance and
Sanitary Corps, commanded by Col. H. F. Foote,
was given on Tuesday night at the Academy, in
the presence of, perhaps, one of the smallest
audiences ever gathered in the same building.
To those present, however, the exhibition was
highly satisfactory. Sanger's Brass Band oc-
cupied the orchestra, and played some fine music.
The limitation of our space prevents us from
describing the performance—which to military
and medical men is of the highest importance—
and we shall briefly sketeh the programme.

FIRST SCENE—The dead on the battle-field: the fight waging near by; the snow storm. &c.

SECOND SCENE—Col. Foote came forward and thanked the audience for their attendance, and briefly gave the outlines of his undertaking, which was the establishment of an Ambulance Corps. Such organizations were used by Napoleon I., and found to be invaluable; and now they were established on the armies of nearly all the foreign powers, including the C. S. A. The duties of this corps are to act as patrols, nurses, carriers and grave diggers, in fact, anything relating to the sick soldier. They were skilled in pharmacy and surgery. Applications to establish an Ambulance Corps had been made to Secretary Cameron, but were unnoticed by him. During the eight days' fight, and the passage of Pope from Washington to the Rappahannock, was one field of wounded and dead, who remained for days uncared for. On the battle-ground of Centreville 3,600 men lay for days uncared. This was not the fault of the Sanitary Commission; they did their best. He then expatiated upon the necessity of an Ambulance Corps, and spoke upon the late action of Congress in the matter, concluding by stating that having conceived the idea of establishing such a corps in our army, he commenced an organization in September last, and by following the plan adopted in Europe, he had been quite successful, and that under the present system of instruction a failure was impossible.

The corps was then drilled in the manual of arms.

THIRD SCENE—Same drilled in ambulance exercises.

FOURTH SCENE—A battle—Carrying the dead off the field, and nursing the wounded.

FIFTH SCENE—In the hospital, bringing in the wounded; dressing their wounds, &c.

SIXTH SCENE—Finale—Company in marching order.

From first to last the exhibition was rendered in the most satisfactory manner, and, while congratulating the Colonel, we may state that he (or those who had that in charge,) displayed excellent taste in the selection of scenes, all of which were very appropriate to the occasion.

THE FOURTEENTH AND ITS OLD REGIMENTAL
FLAG.—The old Regimental flag of the Four-
teenth regiment, which has been worn out in the
service, was brought home on Monday by Capt.
A. W. H. Gill, and has been placed in charge of
Messrs. Husted & Carll, in Fulton street, who
will doubtless exhibit it in one of their great
show windows for the gratification of the public.
Capt. Gill looks first rate. He went out as Adju-
tant with the rank of Lieutenant, and after the
battle of Bull Run was promoted to the Captain-
cy for efficiency and bravery. The life of a sol-
dier agrees with him, as he informs us it does
with all its original members who are still doing
duty. Previous to his return he was engaged in
a scouting expedition in which they captured
some thirty-five horses and several prisoners—
one a Colonel, of the 48th Virginia regiment.
The foray was one of the most successful recent-
ly made on the Rappahannock. As to contem-
plated movements nothing is known. There is
no probability however that an advance will be
made for some weeks yet in consequence of the
miserable condition of the roads. Col. Fowler
has, by his skill as a commander, become quite a
favorite with the regiment, and an effort is now
making on the part of every officer to have him
promoted to a Brigadier-Generalship. He is
highly recommended by General McDowell and
other able military men in high positions. A pe-
tition has been prepared for submission to the
President.

The Union prisoners had been confined at camp Lamb,
about a mile from the city. Their treatment was worthy
of what might be inflicted by fiends from Hell.
Though the arrangements for general exchange
have been completed at Richmond, the star-
ving process goes on. For three days before
the evacuation those prisoners had not received a mouth-
ful to eat. To the credit of the citizens, many attempts
were made to relieve them; but the food was in all cases
taken from them by order of the officer in command, and
trodden into the ground before the eyes of the prisoners
and the citizens. It was thought that four hundred were
recovered; but many were in a dying con-
dition. All that has appeared in the public
prints in regard to this matter utterly fails
to prepare one for the awful reality. After nerving my-
self for the visit, and trying to picture all the horrors
while riding slowly over the half mile to the house where
they had been collected, my brain reeled for the moment,
as the sickening reality burst upon me. Officers came in,
and those who had never quailed on the field of death,
whose cheeks had never blanched, there stood
aghast, with tears in their eyes, grinding their
teeth, clenching their hands, and thanking God that
there was a Hell. Pale, haggard and emaciated,
skeletons glared on us from glassy eyes where the light
of reason was just expiring. With matted hair and skin
blackened with pine smoke, scarcely covered with the
filthiest shreds of cast-off rebel clothing, without blankets,
and most of them without coats and shoes,
half gazed at us with an almost idiotic stare,
while the majority could with difficulty be roused from
their listlessness. Many had forgotten their names;
some could be roused and their memories quickened by
asking them of their homes, their wives and children,
these magic words bringing them back from the grave
into which they were sinking so fast. Many were dying
of starvation, with their hands clutching the bread our
soldiers had brought them, and as they lay there dying
an old negro woman passed from one to another, tenderly
smoothing their awful passage to the grave. Knowing
that the authors of all this misery had escaped, it was
consoling to repeat "Vengeance is mine; I will repay,
saith the Lord."
