A DOUBLE EXECUTION,
TWO MEN RUNG FOR MURDER AT BRIDGETON, N./
DETAILS OF THE EXECUTION
CBpoolallp Reported for The Pram
13Itiuu . wrou, N. T., July 20, 1864
On the 28th of April last a man named Ladoe
Damrell was murdered in broad noon-day, on a Pub
lic) road leading to d l lassboro, N. J., by two men
named . respectively Charlet T. Ogden and Wash
ington lffeward. Howard and Damrell, preVious to
this time, had been friends. They, together with .a
third person, named Levi _Decatur, had served to
gether in the rebel army, but, having been captured
at. Gettysburg, were confined, in the Old Capitol
prison at Washington, from Which they were re
leased on taking the oath of allegiance. Leaving
Washington, they came to New Jersey, and settled
themselves near Glassboro,. in Gloucester. county.
Here they became acquainted with the inmate of a
cabin, hard by. the town, 0. T. Ogden, above-named,
In course of time, Damrell became so intimate
with Ogden as to bp admitte&-as an inmate also.
A short time previous to the murder Damrelieloped
with the wife of Ogden, and Ogden, enraged, spent
much time in seeking to discover their where
abouts, assisted and encouraged by Howard. lie
was unsuccessful until the, 28th. , And his
companion were then walking -,down,the-Ellesburg
road, near the town, when , they ,etiserved Damreil
and the woman approaching thorn. The latter
couple, on espying Ogden, turned up It-lane, run
ning at right angles to the road; but Ogden, by
proceeding over the -field, intercepted them be
fore, they had gone far. The woman' ran away:
at this juncture. Damrell, who is described to
have been a "large, rugged man,", when he saw
his escape , impossible, replied to the taunts of Og-,
den and his companion by taking pff a pack he car
ried on his back, throwing it into some bushes
growing on the roadside, and, advancing with a
"knife a short distance, prepared to meet those whom
he knew no doubt, earnestly intended to murder
him. Words ensued, then a struggle. Howard
caught Damrell's arm in sach a manner as to ren
der defence on his part impossible,--and Ogden
plunged the knife several times into his body. How
ard also, after Damrell had fallen,-seems tc; - have
given additional stabs. The dying man, In the
paroxysms of death, having raised himself upon his
elbow, Ogden rushed to htm and jumped up,and
down several times upen , the gory and almost inani
mate body, accompanying the motions by appropri
ate exclamations. Subsequent examination evinced
that Damrell was stabbed in eighteen different
places—in the face, neck, and region of the heart.
Several of the wounds were in themselves mortal.
The transaction was witnessed by.saveral farmers
who were-working in adjacent fields. They hasten.
ed to the spot, but found that Ogden and Howard
were in no way, deliirous of escaping. Howard said
Ogden did it ; Ogden admitted it, and inquired ans..
fously for a justice of the peace, to whom he might
surrender himself. This funetionary.was speedily
obtained; Ogden arrested as the murderer and How
ard as the accessory. True bills were found against
and a trial given them in the town court-house be
fore Presiding Judge "Rimer and Associates Oliver,
Sheppard, and Doughty. After this trial, which
Was long and ably contested, they were convicted of
the murder and sentenced to be hutiejii the county .
"prison on July 20, between the hours of iiine and
three o'clock.
As ordered, the execution took phiCe to-day, in
the, yard attached to the prison. The murderers,
ever since their condemnation, bad been regoilerly
attended by the ministers of the place, of all de
nominations, including Rev. Messrs. Gregory and
A. W. Hubbard, of the Iwo Presbyterian Churches of
the town ; Revs. Mess it F. W. Hickman and R.
Thorn, of the Methodist Churches ; Rev, Mr. H. M.
Stuart, of the Protestant Episcopal-Church, and
Messrs. I. F. Brown and J. M. Charilis, of the two
Baptist Churches. Howard, during the trial, had
assumed a stolid air, which he preserved up to al
moat the last moment, while Ogden seemed to grow
more repentant and devotional the nearer the day
of death approached. It was the habit of the ministers
to allow no day tepees without Offering opportunities
of spiritual consolation to the condemned; and
almost the only visitors these poor "wretches, wretehes, out
casts from society, atid doomed as unfit to live, ever
entertained, were those who came Iv the exercise of
their ministry, to buoy. them up with words of Chris
tian hope and to strip the future of its dark and
gloomy terrors, and point them beyond earthly
punishment to a bright and regenerat*ltereaf .
Decatur, whom we have mentioned, and who was,
by the way, one of the principal ,witnesses for the
prosecution, visited them once. Last Friday the
wffe'ef Ogden also came, but, although the wretched,
lost husband still expressed for hal. that affection
which had cost him his life, and would Make his
name a byword and a porn as long as it was remem
bered, there were,we believe, no extraordinary marks
of reciprocation. The woman, scarce less wretched
than the convicted murderer, musthave felt that her
disregard for the most sacred vows had made for her
two victims—a paramour slaughtered, and a hus
band soon to die the most disgraceful of deaths.
He was touched and chastened by this, as he had
been by a full knowledge of the magnitude of his
crime. Some time ago, under good influences,
he made a confession to one of hisspiritual advisers
although legally or - for any lawful purpose, none
was required. Proof waaatrong and positive. He
simply corroborated the evidence. . -
Bridgeton is divided into two sections, north
and south, by the - Cohansey creek, which flows
nearly east and welt. The creek is skirted
on the southern side by a low ridge with a gentle
ascent. On the left of the principal street, (Com
merce), on the crest of the ridge, the clock tower of
the court house is readily perceived, Just visible
above the trees. Between it and the river, and ad
jacent to itltare the muse of the conciergerie and the
prison, The contt house and the residence are
modern, neat and fresh in style, but the prison
rears' itself bleak, white, dilapidated, and dismal—
just the spot indeed for the sad scene that was en
acted within its precincts. It is arelle of Revolu
tionary Bridgeton—of Colonial times, when New.
Jersey was disputed ground, and foreign foes domt
nated. There is - nothing pleasant to the eye in its
massiveness ; square 'and plain, there is no amid
teciure-juit the first principles of the.builder's art
elaborated in a blank cube, with a pitched roof.
The deep-bayed windows, so like embrasures in a
fortress, frown down, their edges frayed and broken
with time; great massive iron bars render the male
factors' residence within secure and sure.
Yesterday we entered it for the first time, andper
haps the last, by, a clumsy wooden door, of many
layers, riveted and strong, with a little peep-hole,
barred also in its centre. . There was a little ante
chamber, with cells to the left and front, and on the
right a door entering the prison yard, and a flight of
rude steps leading to the, second-story of the Mind
ing. The air was redolent with whitewash, which
covered everything except the floor, and the - smut
and damp of age. The cells spoke real misery, and,
were they in Philadelphia, wouldfrighten any crimi
nal from a second occupation. The first cell on the
left, next the doorovas a statute in itself. Everything
was clean, to be sure, and white With lime, but the
great white beams athwart 'the ceiling; the rank
odor from the soot, match.ends, and sweepings
heaped in a black and cheerleSsiire-place, partly
occupied by a rheumatic stove ;-the comfortless ' un
inviting bed, and, above all, the two coffins that
lay side by side upon the floor, were a strange and
suggestive epitome of crime and the direful,retri
bution awaiting it. These coffins were , soon to hold
all that was left bl two huma!:l beings overhead,
who even then were living in health and strength,
but whose death wits nigb,so 'aft shadow
that the voice of prayer. for -their eternal repose
Could even then be heard ascending to-the Judge
who would shortly arraign .thnsa hefore awful
tribunal.
The view overhead was. the same—blank, dismal
Illieerlessness. The murderers, since theireondem
nation, had been confined in separate celli;neither
Wining, yet that of Ogden was far preferable to
that of Howard. When we first arrived, the pri
soners were still separate, and ministers were with
each, exhorting and praying. A rade cot stood along
the wall, filling half his'cell, and on the floor againit
the opposite wall were piled various small articles,
envelopes, books, and the like, with which he had
sought to lessen the weary agony of Ids iMprison
ment and impending doom. One little window,
exactly opposite, and two or three feet from the
'dormer window of an adjacent house, gave light.
In Howard's cell there was nothing save the cot, and
a few articles of apparel. But he, unlike Ogden,
was chained, as the staple set in the middle of the
floor, with links and hand-cuffs attached, testified.
As the hour of execution, approached, Ogden was
brought into the cell of Howard, and there the re
ligious preparations for death comeaktced. Each
was clad in a white 43htrtliith ' out collar, alpaca seek
coat, what appeared to be cotton tweed pantaloons,
white socks, and shoes. As Ogden passed from his
cell he nodded slightly to those assembled in the
passage-way. Hemaa a short, stout man, with a
broad but sharpened visage, crowned with luxu
riant hair. He was cleanly shaven, and the fur
rows 'on his brow, and the worn, anxious face,
betokened that he fully realized his position.
The culprits knelt - close to each other, and the
ministers, the sheriff, the law officers, and the
members of the 'press grouped in a semi-circle
round them. The contrast between the two-was
marked. Ogden, pale and Malone ; Howard, with
countenance of Spanish dusk, undemonstrative. A
mass of long, black hair swept' from his forehead,
behind his ears, and fell In waves upon his neck.
But though stolid, there Was a restless gleam in his
dark eyes, as if he cowered with fear, yet was
ashamed to exhibit it. He had been a' stout man,
but nervous excitement—the same agony which
Ogden' had, striven to combat, and which one
must feel when each setting and rising sun
each tolling of the- clock-bell, brings nearer,. still
ne arer, the day of awful, appalling' death, of ter
rible retribution- - had done its work. 'He was but
_
a 'shadow of what he once *as _ for hii fear
o fhanging absorbed his whole being. The gentle
manly:eheriff,
many kind attentions and' faeili
ties, informed us-that Howard had begged with the
energy-of,. that the - sheriff might shoot him,
n in ly deb sl t e e r d iff, for Mr. Chas. L. Watson, to whom we
are
out lila throat, do anything to deprive him of life—
but not to hang him—that,was too terrible, Weed.
For an hour prayers were said and hymns were
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1864.
chanted. In the prayers Ogden joined in a way
simply yet touchingly earnest. intent on the future,
there was a yearning in all he said ; a deep, hoarse
tone of emotion ; a clasping of hands ; a constant
repetition of every request to the God he was soon
to meet, as if he felt keenly the importance of what
Le asked, and by earnest, heart-wrung emphasis
sought to obtain it. Howard knelt in a lolling pos
ture beside his cot, now and then replacing articles
that had fallen from It to the floor. His lips some
times moved as if in prayer. To the private exhor
tations of his adviser he responded in monosyllables.
He had thoughts for the world yet; thoughts that
had almost grown into realities when he looked
through his grated window and beheld life and
pleasure in the street below. He dreamed that ho
could not die ; the reality he could not and would
not comprehend.
But the hour came at last. The nooses and the
black-caps were brought Into the cell. and adjusted,
a hymn was sung, and the prooession left the cell
and gained the prison yard, a confined place, thirty.
feet square, flanked by walls twenty-five feet high,
lonely and dull—a dismal place to die in. The gal
lows were directly opposite the door of egress, and
the very first object presented to the eyes of the un
fortunate men. It affected them visibly—Howard
the most. He grew so weak as to require aid in as
cending the steps of the scaffold. They were here
seated with the clergy and the sheriff of.the county,
Howard faint and unmanned, while the last hymn
was sung, and the parting prayer offered up, by
Rev. Mr. Thorn, as follows :
0 Thou, who enablest the erring but repentant.

of all times Implore Thee to receive these poor men,
who are so soon to meet Thee. We pray Thee,
Heavenly Father ; we trust in Thy love, that they
may meet in Thee their staff and their rod.. In all
ages, those who have trusted in Thee have received
a sustenance and support; to the wandering Thou
haat been the light of their feet and a balm to the
broken and sick-at heart. We know. 0 Almighty
God, that when we turn to Thee we will find refuge.
Give it, then, 0 Lord, to those in their fearful how:
of tria ; give them faith, give them confidence,
give them the strength of Thy. grace. We
have met under circumstances of more than
ordinary solemnity. Our fellow-beings here pre
sent are about to be ushered into eternity. They
have been adjudged guilty of a fearful, capital
crime; they have been proven guilty, and con
demned to death by the legal authorities of the
.State. Oh I look down upon them, in this the dark
hoar of their extremity, Thoti who hest before been
with them in their imprisonment. Look down upon
them ; strengthen them, so that they can look beyond
the fearful instrument that is to launch them into
eternity to where there lane trouble, no sin, nor pain.
And now, Lord we commend these unfortunate

and expecting the hour when they shall see him
once again ;bless them, for they shall no longer

they may meet him In Heaven. And, 0 Lord,
give this blessing also to the surviving friends of
Ogden, who may now , be expecting the tidings
of his dishonorable ' death. Give him .an abund

were taken,- and everything was ready. The ropos
were adjusted, the upper, half of their faces con

seemed to have roused himself. for the finale. He
hastily uttered an appeal for mercy, as if the pro-

uttered, and summoned all his courage. Howard

"Here I am in this place, on my way to Beaufort,
as I wrote you I was ordered to. And a pretty on
my way I have made of it, so far.
" I wrote you that I should probably leave 'the
next day, but Ifound that no steamers were to leave
theie; and, finally, as the privateer Florida
peered off the coast, was advised to Dome to this
city and get passage from here. I began my jour-
Bey, but as fill luck would have it, took the train
from Baltimore, which was stopped by the rebels.
I was seized at once, being in uniform, and after
some little delay, was started for Richmond. I man-
aged, after going a short distance, to escape Into the
woods. I had not gone far, however, before I was
again taken, and brought back to mystarting place.
'After several hours' detention,l contrived to.
be sent under guard to see Maj or Gllmor, the
leader of the band. On my representations, and
through the influence of a lady on the train, : I was
at last paroled, and allowed. to start for Baltimore.
I bid in - the woods, and then went back to see if I.
could save any of - my effects. I found the shell of
my trunk and-the remains of my valise, but every ,
thing I owned in the world was gone. I have lost
every cent I had, every particle of Clothing I
owned, my letters, pictures—in fact, every valu
able keepsake I had ; so that I was landed in this
city with 'nothing .but7my toothbrush and five
paper (fellers I picked- off the ground. My watch
I saved by throwing it into the bushes as I was
marched along, and in the evening I went back
and found it.
"I must be nearly a thousand dollars' out of
pocket, for •I had over $250 in. money, and I bad
taken up on my way North my trunk, which I
always leave at some headquarters, and never take
into the field, and in it was all my new clothing,
all my boots, jewelry, So. They robbed me down
to my last five • cent piece, and even took my rail
road checks with the remark, 'Well, I guess you
might as well pass in your checks.' One fellow
came riding up with a nice new pair of riding
boots I did own, and after congratulating me on his
prize, which . he said "was worth over $BOO in Rich

not a pair of spurs that would fit them.
"The ladies on the train, most of whom were from
Baltimore, were the most offensive of all the band.
They kissed Major Qilmor, embraced the flag, took
all the buttons off his coat, pointed out the vari

dering, and assisted in dividing the contents.
I found one elderly lady with a lot of my pri

would not give up until she bad been with me
to Major Gilmer, to prove they were not official

Opinions differ as to the nutritive value of sugar
as an article of diet. 'A correspondent says "the
experiment has often been tried of feeding sugar to
dogs, cats, hogs, sheep, and other animals, but the
result has uniformly beon—stareaficw. Sugar is not
food; but only an element of food. If chemical
analysis teaches that we should eat sugar, it also
teaches that we should eat gum and starch. If we
can do without gum and starch, we can also do
without sugar. Only the elements which _contain
nitrogen are said to be capable of being transformed
into the substance of the body. It contains no nitro

A MISTAILE BOXRWHERE. . .
On the eveningof the 7th.of July, at 8 o'clock, the
4th Corps opened up along its whole line "the most
tremendous cannonade of the campaign," expend
ing over four hundred rounds of ammunition in half
an boar. All this wes directed against , the rebels
on the opposite side of the river, and was intended
to.draw their attention , from an- attempt which,
through. some 'misunderstanding, it was supposed
Gen. behefield would make at, that hour .to
thb river above. All this' time the 28d Corps 'lay
quietly -in camp 4 miles in reserve, wondering what
it all meant, and asking in veinier information. The.
rebels did not vouchsafe even a single gun In reply
consequently the casualties in our line were nothing.
The next morning the 4th Corps was moved slightly
up 111 e -river to support the'23d In the' operations of
t°4.1117.
A BRILLTASIIT PAY'S IVORZ
This Morning the 23d Corps broke - oamp at an
early hour, and directed its march eastward, aiming
to Strike the river at Isham , s Ford, eight. Mlles
above"the railroad bridge. Retuleuarters - moved
outin advance, and riding at , a rapid pace, with an
old man '
a resident of the country, as a guide, we
emerged suddenly from:the thick forest • out upop .
the:brink of the river bluffs. There lay the Chatta
hoookie, about-160 feet below us, muddy and rapid
from recent rains—in every respect au uuclassioal
stream. Right here lives William .Ulrieh, said to
be ni good. Union man, and a Pennsylvania German,
whose honest heart was greatly delighted, perhaps,
and perhaps not, at our sudden advent. "Imme
diatelythe-glasses the-signal coil's were levelled
at the nppesitebank, but not a discovery could they
ma except a solitary min 'wandering in the
bneW.' 'Moving a little..fuither down the•-blifft; a

top of the opp osite -hH4 just in the'edge 6f a newly ,
harvested -3v eat field, 1 2- pound brass
howitief; with a few gunners walking about it, and
eloshboWn to the river's. edge, half a dozen 'rebel
sharpshooters squatted under a large tree, just 'op
posite the - ford. We were about a mile below. The
river herels about 400 feet wide, and, from crest. to
crest:or the hills on either side of the river, between
which the cannon must play, was about a third of a
mile.-
After reconnoitring the .situation a short time,
Gen. Schofield rode away to the ford, which Is just
atthe inouthhf Soape , s creek, to choose positions
and /make dispositions of the artillery. The 18th
Ohle,itnd 32d Indiana _batteries more. with the ea
possible ._noise and demonstration, planted se as to
cover the ford and cross-lire the rebel gun, while a
section of the fittilrliehigan was held in readiness to
descend into the. valley, a mile further down, at the
proper time, and enfilade-the sharpshooters on the
opposite bank. Allthese pieces, were under, strict
orders not to tire under any provocation.until they
received positive erdere. The solitary.howitzer on
the other sidebestow.ed upon them, at random, about
half &dozen Wets during the forenoon . _ and then re
mained quiet:until the attack was made. •
Meantime, and until late in the afternoon, the
troops were slowly getting into shapeiand the lum
bering 'pontoon trains , were .coming up and parking
on the hill, ready to go down , into the valley when
needed. A little before four, General Schofteld i sent
orders te.General Cox to have , his skirmish line in
readlnesS, and at that hotir pass it rapidly across a
few rods of cornfield which lay between the hill and
the river, and if they drew the rebel fire to open
with his cannon and silence it.
As . the hour approached, a small party of specta
tors pbsted themselves half.way down the hillside, a
mile lielow the ford, and, with glasses thrust out
from behind convenient trees and fences, eagerly
awaited the spectacle. The captain of the rebel gun
could be seen on the distant hill seeking comfort as
best he could (it was the hottest day of the year),
and reading a January number of the Chattanooga
Rebel;' The gun bad been drawn back to conceal it
a little, and a sentinel sat on the brink of the hill to
observ,e our movements, and to give notice to the
gunners to bring forward the idece. The sharp•
shooters also could - be seen, glaring intently out• of
their cover upon the opposite opening in the willows,
whertiZhe ford was approached.
Our akirinishlinerwas composed of about two hun
dred men from several regiments; and a . volunteer
detain:anent of two hundred men' from then3d and
28th Michigan, 111th Ohio, and other regiments,
which bad In their ranks many old Lake . Erie sail
ors, were assigned to the use of the oars in the pon
toons which were to carry over the first companies.
At half past four o'clock the little squad of skir

and when they come close in therear of the willows

The sentinel is seen to loop up hastily, and run to
the rear, the gunners . trundle out their gnu In plain
sight, and the sergeant stoops to sight it. But it Is
In vain the bullets whistle so thick about • his ears
that, after dodging a inw moments from one side to
the other, - he gives up 'ln despair, the lanyard is
pulled', the shot plungeli: harmless in the middle
.of the river, and the rebel gunned all incontinent
ly take to their heels and 'disappear In the
woods. Our fellows keep, up so het a fire about
it that no one dares to return. The shells from
our batteries -pour in around it, and the red
clouds of. Confederate dust that leap.up,;show bow

Suddenly a. pontoon boat filled with :blue coats is
seen'jeering the opposite shore, then another, and,
the. &et - boat - tonchesland; Captain
'Daniel, whose eye is riveted to his glass, shouts,
"They` bold up their hands I they _hold up their
hands! they drop their guns ! they run down the
bank I" The atolls have out off their retreat, there
is ino other resource, and they come running down
to the boats with uplifted hands in token of-surren
der, and yet crouching as if to shun a flying bullet.
The 12th Kentucky Infantry is first over the river,
they run rapidly up the hill, and three men, folly
five rods in advance of all others, lay hands upen
°setup in the name of the GoVernment. With it
they: !rapture a csdasen full .of ammunition, two
honsdi, two ducks, and a captain's coat. They had
sett to hurriedly that they had not even spiked the
'piece. The gun andithe accoutrements were very
properly put into "postession, of these three men..
Would i knew their names.
• In thirty minutes after the stampede, Captain
Daniels had reached the ford, swam his horse over,
behind a pontoon, and shaken out his flag in
triumph on the opposite side of the Chattahoodde,
where the rebels had threatened thev.would make
so bloody a resistance. -
Soon the pontoons had ferried over several regi
ments, who formed in line of battle at' once on the
top of the hill, but found no enemy. The bridge was
rapidly laid, and the corps began to cross. It was
necessary that all possible' expedition should be
used, as the enemy might learn of the movement in
time to mass heavily upon the small force before
others could cross to support it, and inflict inneti
damage. To Col. Buell, commanding the ptintoon
train, there is much due for the rapidity and good
orderwith which the bridge was almost literally
•• flung over the river. •
There was not a mankillcd.during the day that I
can learn of, norsemany as half a &den wounded.
So overwhelming.and sadden was our firing that it
took the rebels by surprise. They seem to 'have
been entirely disconcerted, and they certainly have.
not made a more utter failure to carry out their
fierce threats in any single case.
Soon after the troops began to. cross, 'the corps
below began to open a lively cannonade, doubtless
with a view of attracting the enemy's attention
away from us. Detached, as this corps is, so far
away Trom the. others, ./ am unable to' learn
whether they have yet crossed over any forces or
got ;`but if I 'am • not greatly mistaken, the 23d
Oupe has crossed the first regiment of the-army.
True; they did not encounter strong forties In their
. front; but none . could tell wtuit they would find,
and the gallantry of the men who rushed for
ward to man 'the pontoons in the, face of
these uncertainties, and those. who ran up the
- .bill with no others yet over to support them,
:when they may- be met by g deadly fire from
behind some screen,ls .worthy 'of all praise.
Bow could they -kow but all this apparent
panic and ridiculous ,fiasco might be but a
' blind to draw them on to their death 1 And , when
men are compelled thus to go upon suspense, and
charge, it may be, upon lurking volleys which shall
leave no one of them to return, it requires a stouter
heart than to datih forward amid the roar and rattle
of arms, and to meet a foe whom .they can see. I
have not known a more dramatic, brilliant and, at
the same time, bloodless episode in:this whole cam
paign than was enacted today by tho command of
General Schofield,--so entirely successful, and so
entirely without loss.
Juvr-9—b A.' M.—The troops of the corps are now
all over,' and they have suffered no molestation da
ring the. night. We are safe.. Headquarters will
cross over to-day, and Atlanta is ours—soon. .

little Mai:Maslen as to the disposition which was pro

comfort to the enemy" they most assuredly were,
and much valuable tent cloth; but In the ease of
many of them it was an involuntary service, since
they .had been confined and compelled to labor there
without cessation from the breaking out of the re
bellion.
Then; too, the cartel makes no provisions touching
the exchange of prisoners of this sort ; neither would
it do to send them across the lines to their former
employers since they would immediately be set to
the manu facture of tents again'; nor was it at all
safe to discharge them unconditionally in the'midet
of two great armies, many of them far removed from
their* friends and helpless. Thus red tape was about
to become involved in a hopeless entanglement with
crinoline, tent-oloth, and cartels; when Gen. Sher
man interposed and solved the knotty question by
loadlig them into one hundred and ten wagons, and
sending .them to Idarietta, to be sent north of the
Ohio, and set at liberty. Only think °fit! Four

the evening berm e, and thrown up a small seentuir
die of such works as they ,could . Construct in the
darkness and thickets, began with the earliest light
to extend- the lines of defence to embrace a much
wider area, and selected eligible sites for placing
the artillery. Every preparation was ••made to
meet the largest force the enemy could bring against
them, thou g h no demonstration was
_made .during
the day. They were sufficiently occupied , watching

force to attempt the dislodgment of.the corps.
• CAPTURE OF .00LONEL SEIDMAN.
Euring,the day Colonel Sherman, chief of. staff to
General Howard, was taken prisoner in the follow
ing manner : He was riding out, entirely unattended
except by an orderly, and passed over a portion of
the road which our picketa had occupied the day be
fore, but from which they had been withdraWn in
the night, without the Colonel's knowledge. Ex
pecting to meet them, he rode out on a reconnois
sance, and before he was aware of it; was right in
the midst of 'the rebel pickets, who took him with
out a shot. His fate was unknown until the rebel
pickets called across the river to ours that they had
got "old Sherman." From this it was supposed he
was unhurt, and was mistaken by the soldiers for
the General.
It will be gratifying to the friends of .the Colonel
to learn that he has ,lately been mustered in as the,
coltmel of the regiment, having previously held the
position' only of lieutenant colonel.

fag between the 4th and 23d Oorps, a part of iftdott
is Colonel Jim Brownlow'e regiment, of East Ten
nesseans. Opposite this regiment the river makes
a short bend around a narrow point of land, on
which the rebels kept a small picket of observa
tion. These fellows had annoyed the Colonel's men
in their bathing and foraging operations, and he
determined eithelr to dislodge or capture them.
Accordingly he ordered a few men to strip them
selves, and, with their• cartridgo-boxes tied about
their neck s„to ford the riverin front of ,the rebels,
and attack them. This they 'did directly In the face
of a galling fire, and while they thus attracted the
rebels' attention, the Colonel, at the head of seven
men, crossed in a canoe above, came In the rear of
the picket, and succeeded-in taking three of them.
The remaining nine fled into the thickets, and made
good their escape.
JULY 10.—The announcement which I made in a
previous letter, that the rebels had crossed all their
forces over the- riverin our front, was (to use the
vents of General Sherman) "premature." They
had at that timedliappeared entirely in front of the
4th and 14th Corps, but Hood's corps defiantly main-.
tained a hold upon this side, In front of the 20th and
lath Corps, until the night of Meath. But the pres
sure upon them from our artillerygradually became
too heavy, and on that night they withdrew finally
and fully to the south bank of the Ohattahocrehie,
and in the morning the !Rieke .of their railroad
bridge In flames was visible tette entire *army. As
soon as it was certainly ascertained that they had
crossed, orders were Issued for 'the 4th Corps to
march at once up the river and taka up a position
on the north bank, ready to support - the -n<d.Corps,
in case they should be attacked, as it was expected
they mould be. This .morning the corps is in camp
at this ford, with the exception of General. Newton's
division, which marched to Itosewell, and crossed
the river there on the 9th, at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, One corps, also, of the Army of the Ten
nessee, I cannot learn which, had made a circuitous
march to the rear and left, and ,is probably across
the river this morning, at a point about ten miles
above here. . • .
Thus it will be seen that the. armyia slowly exe
cuting another great flanking Yeovement-this time
to the left, as the previous two had been to the right.
The entire 81100688 with' which it has been attended
thus far ts made the :note *Anent . and gratifying
by the fact that.as yet ,ru il iAsikle.life ' so far as I
can learn, has been lost the river—that

ua by the desperation of its;defenders. Two of the
attempts made bilis-41nd tei the rightand , the one
in the centre—have beentinauccessful;thaugh unat

The attempt to' °rods on the right was made first.
The entire Army,rof the Tennessee was massed
near the - river, above old Sweetwater's factory,
about five Mlles below the railroad bridge, and, oss
the 6th, the pontoon train attached .to that army
Was sent down within a short distance of the river,
and a cannonade was opened upon the opposite:
bank to ascertainif It wore practicable to cross at
that point. The enemy were discovered to be in too'
strong force, and too well strengthened by artillery.
to allow the crossing without groat sacrifice of life:
On the 6th of , July the pontoon train 'attached to ,
the Army of the Cumberland, commanded by Col.
Buell, of the lath Indiana, was brought down within'
three quarters of a mile of the river, In front of the ,
4th Corps,.but here again. the enemy were awaiting
us r and our cannon elicited snob replies as made it
plainly evident that the- crossing should. not be at
tempted there.
On the evening orthe 6th the train was yrithdrawn
to a position a few miles•ln.rear of this ford, where
it remained over the Ttlis and arrived here in\,,the
afternoon-of the Bth, in time for the 23d Corps to
cross that evening, as has been heretofore narrated.
Fortunately, our superiority In numbers enabled ns
to leave large bodies.of men at the points where we
had previously attempted-to cross, who made • such
demonstrations there-as induced therebels to believe
we still intended to attempt to cross, while we sent
others stillTurther nyithe river, who reached above
the.rebel line and crossed without opposition. To
me it seems a great mistake on the part,ofthe rebels
to cross the river In detail, as they- did,. Instead of
making.the passage with their entire army slmul
taneeusly, and deploying' at once to the greatest
possible extent along. the . banks' to oppoSe all at
tempts. Still, it was only a question of time, since
the Chattatroochle is too narrow 'and too shallow to
form an obstacle to an enterprising general and a
great army.
General Butler and the Rebel Deserters.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune writes :
Benjamin Franklin' sent • a kite skyward, and
. brought down lightning.. Benjamin Franklin But
ler sends kites skyward and drops down among the
rebels fluttering hundreds of copies of the Fred.
dent's amnesty.proolamation. Tho ingenuity of ',the
device is great in either case, but the latter-day
Benjamin bees more pralee-worthy purpose to serve.
Re achieves a patriotic end as successfully as the
original Benjamin did a. philosophical one. The
first fruits were reaped to-day, viz : , Anumber of
.deserters who, on examination, declared that they
were induced to come over by "0 , lot o' hen' bills
that kim down from o' big kite that scaoted over
wbar we war."
I was permitted to listen to General Butler's ex
amination, to-day, of a large number of prisoners,
deserters, and refugees. The General, I believe, is
noted among the legal fraternity
for his skill In the
cross-examination of witnesses. Ills skill and train
ing were apparent in that specialty to day. Such
relentless and successful' questioning for truth
never beheld before a jury. It was "as good as a
play" and gave me a new idea of the acuteness and
godlike divination of the huMan intellect. The first
man co undergo this terribly-searching scrutiny was
a refugee from Richmond. " Sit down, sir," said
the General, pleasantly. "Your name 7" " Wm.
Jeffers." Then followed a hundred questions in
rapid succession and logical order—logical, though
it. required all, my powers to always see their
drift and aim,: Mr. Jeffers was finally cornered
At first he was a "gentleman." Then he modified
his statement; he was a "speculator." A re modi
fication, and he was a "sporting man." And then,
W,ell—yes—General—lsuppose—they called me
a—gambler." And finally, when, in explaining
his antecedents, it became\ clear that he was , but
lately out of the Penitentiary, Re Bahl; " You've
got-*down prettyllriewras wdll cave"—then
he told the whole trntb, , and I thinknothing but the
truth. Two other indlirldualiof the same Ilk, who had
come through withhim , were examined in turn, and
each was beautifully astonished at the self-revele-
Lions he was made to make. All had been living
upon their wits, bad been conscripted a dozen times,
had bribed theniselves off, until some weeks ago,
when even a thousand dollars Oonfederate money
failed to secure immunity, and then concealed them
selves, and at bathed paid $5OO to be piloted through
their lines, having first taken an oath not to reveal
the name of their pilot. However, Gen- Butler has
the 'name of 'the pilot, who, it appeared, works
for gain, not for love of the Union—a traitor to fel
low-traitors.
DENS. GRANT AND BUTLER UNDER FIRE.
By a coincidence, Gens. Grant and Butler had ap
pointed to visit Gen. Foster's lines to-day. The rebel
demonstration did not deter them from the purpose.
-An hour or two after the firing ceased, Gen. Graham
steamed up the river with hiaflag-boat, the Cham
berlain, having Gens.'Grant and Butler on board.
The rebels opened on them with six guns. The
first shot passed between the walking-beam and
the smoke-stack, and close to the deck, and save- -
ral subsequent ones came about as near. The
Chamberlain replied, put kept on her way,
and the three generals landed safely, and in
spected General Foster's position, even to the ex
tent of going out to the picket line. And they went
back the way they came, under the same lire,.
but this time stopping long enough to silence the
enemy, ptleast temporarily. It is not possible that
-he knew how distinguished -a target he was aiming,
at—the lieutenant general, an outlawed and per
tieularly obnoxious major general, and a brigadier
general who commands gunboats, and has been the

What They Think of Englishmen on the

said a • German friend with whom I was conversing
on the train from Hanover to Hamburg, '"be

no longer a military .Power ; you' ould. not even
raise, during the Urimean war, as many soldiers as
you wanted in England. You art very great at

but not at making war." There are two ideas, as
you will notice here, which, have taken fast hold of
the German mind : the one that - our press has en
tirely lost its • independenoe, and the other that
England could notand would not sustain the burden
of a great .war.
I=3
The' Danes are sorely hurt at our desertion of their
fortunes. They, feel it the more acutely -because
between. them and." England there has existed a
silent brotherhood, - English, 'is, dthe,,language
which is taught in their schools and colleges, and
which forms'; a regular pert of their education.
Their customs, their .teelings, their 'ways of
thought, 'their character, !and sometimes their
very look are Digliah. fro English literature
they have turned in the attempt to oppose it to
that of Germany,' whith,"during the last years,
has been !creeping silently „northwards; English Is
the' language which they seem , to have chosen
even in preference to. French or German, which
would have afforded a better link of coMmunication
between themselves and the nations of that great
continent on whose outer edge their fortunes are
mist, and-to which .they cling desperately,, with
nothing but the bravery and the stem virtues of the
old Norse race to maintain them' on their narrow
foothold. Whatever the Danes feel ott the subjectof
England, they say butlittle to' an Englishman. It
always touches me to see how much their courtesy
seals their' lips. Sometimes, however, the thought
escapes indirectly from them.
lIIIIVBBNAL OP INION ON TEEB CONTINBNT.
It is well for an Englishman, as he travels through.
Germany, if he understands no language but his
own. The most .undisguised contempt is poured
upon us. We have not been liked for some time
past in Prussia; but, until the present, we were at
Least respected. Let •me try and put before you
something of that which I have heard from educated
foreigners, not'Danes, about our behavior:
"You in England," say my friends, "hale
taken up a neighbor's quarrel—you
.have taken
the cards out of his hands, and played them for
him—you have played them for him. in such away
as to give all that his antagonist asked—you have
made : him separately and , severally concede every
point demanded—nowhere and at: no Moment hat
he refused to follow the course on which you have
insisted, or turned, aside from the sacrifices which
you have dietated ; nor has he taken his cards
back into his own hands until 'the last moment,
when you yourselves have. thrown them up, and
have left him alone and friendless to play the rem
roast of this miserable game out for himself. Is
not this literally what you have done i I do not
want to judge your conduct by what men think
of it in .Denmark—l am willing that it should
stand: on its trial in any court or country which you
choose to name in Europe; but if, at Vienna, at
Berlin, at Paris, at Turin or anywhere else out of
England you choose, you find but one opinion, and
that of each a sort as would, could you hear it, Ws

It is stated in despatches from Washington that
the-Secretary of the Treasury will be in the market
in a few days for another long loan from the people,
in order to meet the pressing financial wants of the
Government. It is intimated that he will ask for a
popular loan, equal in amount *at least to the nn
liquidated claims on his Department; and that the
'security to be offered for this loan will probably as
sume the form of 7-30 treasury notes, (nt t legal ten
der,) interest payable in currency, and principal re-,
deemable in three years, or convertible, on ma,
IlitO•twenty-year 0 per cent., or orty-year
5 per cent. gold-bearing bonds, as the Secretary.
may determine. Under the new loan act of Gen
greSs, he has authority to issue treasury notes of the
denomination referred to, to the amount of $200,00*
000, and there can be no reasonable doubt of his
ability to place such an issue in the hands of the
people, on terms at least 'as adVantageone to the
Government as any implied in the most liberal of
the recent propositions from the associated banks.
There can be little doubt as to the s i t/cease of the
contemplated loan, for the people have been long
expecting to be called upon, and are prepared to
meet the emergency. The' new draft for 500 000-
men involves a vast additional °Spann, which must
be met if we would sustain the cause of the Go
vernment.
The publication at stated periods of the condition
of the Federal Treasury is a course of action well
calculated to inspire public confidence. It shows
that the authorities at Washington are disposed to
withhold nothing that it is for the interest of the
people that they should know. The figares, ft win

companies were generally tending 'downward. The
same remark applies to canal and oil stocks.
Passenger railroads are held firmly, the only sale
being a small lot of Arch at 80. The recent ad-.
vance in fares will contribute largely to the profits
of these corporattoria, and will go far towards
Making them profitable investments. The . Arch
