COLONEL hahlgken’ s boi>y.
[From the Richmond Examiner, March 8.],.
Dahlgren’s body was boxed up at Walkertown
on Sunday and brought to Richmond, with the
object, we understand, of its positive identifica
tion, and the establisnment of the fact of the
finding of the infamous, documents upon it,
all of which has been attested by witnesses.'
Hereeforth the name of Dahlgren is linked
with eternal and in the years to
come defenceless and innocent child
hood will peruse, with a sense of shrinking horror
the story ol Richmond’s rescue from the midnight
sack and ravage led by Dahlgren. It wonld
seem something of the curse he came to bestow
upon others lighted upon ins own carcass, when
it fell riddled by avenging Southern ballets.
Stripped, robbed of every valuable, the fingers
cntolf for the sake of the diamond rings that en
circled them, when the body was found by those
sent to take charge of it, it was lying in a field,
stark naked, with the exception of the stockings.
Some humane persons had lilted the corpse from
the pike and thrown it over into the field, to save
it from the hogs. The artificial leg worn by
Dahlgren was removed, and is now at General
Llzey’s headquarters. It is or a most beautiful
design and finish-y
Yesterday afternoon the body was removed from
the car that brought it to the York River Railroad
depot and given to the spot of earth selected to
receive it. Where that-spot is no one but those
corcerned m its burial know or care to tell It
was a dog’s burial, without coffin, winding sheet
or service. Friends and relatives at the North
need inquire no farther; this is all they will
kbow—he is buried a burial that befitted the mis
sion upon which he came. Ho has “swept
through toe city of Richmond’ ’ on a pine bier, and
“written his name” on the scroll of infamy, in
stead of “on the hearts of his countrymen,” never
to be erased. He “asked the blessing of Almighty
God on his mission of rapine, murder arid blood,
and the Almighty cursed him instead. i.

[From the Richmond Examiner, March 8. ]
Dahlgren’s guide, recommended to him l“a the
last moment” os the “very man he wanted” bv
one “truiy yours, JohnC. Babcock,”has reached
the Libby, in company with the two or three hun
dredbngands he attempted to guide into the heart
of Richmond: His name is John A. an
Irishman by birth, twenty-three years old,:iaIl and
lithe, with a fine, open countenance. When asked
his rank, he declared himself a lull, high private
and did not aspire to anything elie. Being interro
gated as to his knowledge of Richmond and its sub
urbs, he said he knew it * ‘like a bog: ’» he was a
guest at the Hotel de Libby in July, 1563, and
ipew the officers of the prison. Then recognizing
tbecleric Hogan broke out, “How do
ye do, Lieutenant Ross; glad to see you.”
boasted of his narrow escape, having had four bul
lets put through his clothiDg and hair. liireplT to
a question as to what he was lighting for, he replied
he was fighting for fun. When such fun ends in a
hempen rope, as we trust it will, Hogan will cease
to estimate his business as a joke.
Hogan disposed of for the present, -we -wonld in
quire who is this “John O. Babcock’’ who *ent

I have the honor to report that the enemy has
retreated to Williamsburg. This news was brought
to me .by mv scouts, who followed them some
miles below Slaters ville, and had infermation that
they were below Burnt Ordinary, rapidly falling
back to Williamsburg. Two regiments of infantry
(negroes) came up on the Diasonhd road ns far as

Presuming the documents lound on’the body of
Dahlgien to be authentic, the whole “question of
the recent attempt to inyade Richmond, burn and
each it, (with all the other horrible concomitants
of such a scene,) can be stated and disposed, of m
a few words It requires no flue disquisition to
see our way clear as to what should be done with
those ol the banditti who have fallen into onr
hands. But it does require nerve to execute the
palpable convictions of our judgment—a judgment

The Tesults, indeed, of this tremendous intention
of ravage , and butchery were contemptible; The
*‘pickedcommand, selected from brigades and re--
giments, * ’ tor the thieving and murcering expedi
tion, was not quite up to the mark; “the braves
who were to have swept through Richmond’ ’ were
very easily swept away from before Bicbmoad,
and their balls ot oakum and turpentine,instead ot
.hissing and flaming in our dwellings, and amidst
terrified women and children, a- was expected,
had to be thrown . into the Pa
munkey for the present Nevertheless, the
minute programme of that piece of business can- ’
not fail to be It strnctlve. After onr Government.
has existed for three years, and has all that time
maintained large armies to meet and baffle their far
greater armies in fair fight on the field, they think
it still an allowable, nay a virtnons and glorious
proceeding, to steal upon onr chief magistrate and
his Cabinet in their beds, ana, after burning their
houses, to hang them up on the next tree, Just as
the French in Algiers would do to a Kabvle chief
and his encampment in the desert or the English
in India to some, Nena Sahib or Ghoorka marau
der.
Now—it is as well to look our position straight
in the face—we are barbarians, in the eves ol our
enemies. Onr way of life is, according to the
dictum of-one of these, philosophers, “the sum of
■all barbarism.-” Ugainet us, everything is fair,
we also, though we have newspapers, and orators,
and a certain command of the English language,
are yet hemed in, for the present by blockading
fleets and armies that cur protest, if we attempt
any, dies away in silence too. It is the Simple
fact, let ns take it as we will, that those enemies
against whom we fondly believe we ftre waging an
honorable war, as nation against nation, are
carrying on against us the very same sort
of warfare that English armies think
good enough, for the revolted Sepovs and
mutinous hill tribes. 11 they can surprise^by any
sort of artifice, onr kraal of Richmond, and de
liver it over to the mercy of their troops, and hold
in it one good carnival of lust and rapine, they
will write their names in imperishable letters on
the hearts of their countrymen. This situation of
affairs was always known to us; but it wa3 doubted
or denied by many Confederates of feeble brain.
Do they* .believe it now, understand it now, that
we have i; under the hand of federal officers
charged with the task ol breaking up this ‘‘hate
ful” den of Richmond, burning and robbing onr
houses, stripping and violating the virtuous and
often refined Qbristian women of tins place, shoot
ing, stabbing, hanging the highest civil officers of
the law, and massacring indiscriminately the
population.
This is a wholesome kind of. reflection for onr
own countrymen. V. r e believe it will sting them.
" e think it highly propably that they wilT pe
remptorily demand of their government some
practical, unmistakable assertion ofonr fall deter
mination to be treated as honorable enemies and
civilized people. And what—some may ask—
what then would you have our government to do!
—turn the war into a war of extermination! Cer
tainly, certainly; it is already a war of extermi
nation, of indiscriminate slaughter and plunder
on the part or our enemies. Their sparing the
lives of onr prisoners and occasional exchanges,
form but a temporary suspension of the
rule, necessitated by our holding prisoners al<o*
but the true animus, the authentic Yankee theory
of the war, is manifest iu the actual pro
ceedings of our enemy wherever he has the power,
and especially, anil most signally, In ihis code-of
instructions lor sack and massacre in Richmond.
Onr government owes it to its own army and to Its
own people, il it cannot at the moment retaliate
such atrocities in kind, at least to bring to condign
punishment the robbers who, in the guise of sol
diets and under pretence of war, have been canght
lurking about Richmond with their oakum balls
and turpenune, and -.heir written programme for
murdering the chief magistrate and setting tire to
all the houses till the city is burnt in a hundred
places at once, ard then inviting eight thousand
bloodthirsty, lustful ruffians to gut the blazing
mansions, rape their mistresses, and knock the
masters in the head in the dreadful confusion.
But if we hang these wretches then the enemy
vill select an equal number for the gallows ? Not
while we holdlsixteen thoussnd hostages. Bn: if
we shrink from that there is another alternative,
and the only one left ns—hanging andmassacre all
on one side. We can choose bet ween the two :
other choice there is none.
“LOOK.TO YOUR AT*.KS. 5 *
[Frcm the Bichmond Enquirer, March?. 1
Never was there a time when cur Southern peo
ple ought to take so well to heart the saying that
“eternal vigilance is the price or liberty.” as
now. Within the last week this city has escaped a
doom as awfnlasever befel or could belal any ci’y
on the face of this globe. Three thousand ferocious
horsemen, blasphemously invoking the blessin"-
of Almighty God, essayed to sweep through onr
capital with the naked sabre in one hand and
the pistol in the other. Six thousand equaliv
feiocious prisoners were to have been ls't
loose, with an order to kill our President and
Cabinet, and bum “the hated city.” It these
horsemen had got in by surprise, if these priso
ners hud been suddenly lei loose, our town, from
Hollywood to Kocketts, from the basin bank to
Navy hill, would have been one volcano of tire,
and amid the explosion of magazines and labora
tories, and the burning of armories, stores and
dwellings, there would have been heard the ap
palling shrieks of thousands, nay, tens of thou
sands of women and children .burning in the
flames. Bape and robbery, murder and massacre
wonid have reigned supreme, and Yankee horse
men as per the programme laid down by the demon
Dablgren, under orders Irom that incarnate
fiend, Lincoln, wonid have fed and watered
their horse 3 outside the city (for, because of the
flames inride, they could not do so), all the while
contemplating with devilish delight the horrors
within. And even suppose no woman or child
perished in the flames, but escaped to the hills
around, what would have been their fate, without
food or raiment, or aroof to cover them! They
would have died in thousands from fright, famine,
and the cold. Look well to your arms, then,
men of this city. Wait not til the last moment to
call at the armory for arms or ammunition, or an
exchange of arms; hut have everything at hand
and in good order, so that the call to arms may be
answered instantly. Horsemen travel fast, and

. iAsother Citt Rail w at Project.— There
are no less than three hills helore the State Legis
lature for city railways, that would pass along
Spring Garden street. Two of these hillß arefor
roads which go over largeportions of the city, and
which take Spring Garden* street os ajpart of their
route. As the corporators named iu-thfi. hills do
not live upon or near the lines of the proposed
roads, and can have no reason for desiring to con
struct roads, not demanded'for their own or the
public convenience, the inference is plain that
their projects are mere speculations intended to fill
the pockets of theprojectors without regard to the
public wants. The- third bill is of a different
character. The railway proposed to he constructed
