TEE ASSAULT ON PETERSBURG.
Complete Details—Grautts Plan of At
laelt.=The .111 hoe Espieslori—The Charge
upon The Breach—A. Feud'Enfer—Con
duet of the Colored Troops—The Final
Repulse.
The letters of half a dozen different correspond
ents furnish us with abindant 'details of the late
well-planned attack on the rebel entrenchments be
fore Petersburg. We havefarefaity colleted - them,
and are now able to present aofall and connected
account of the battle, from its, inception to its dis
astrous end. The failure, and the slaughter of our
troops, is ascribed on all hands to somebody's blun
dering, but who that somebody, is no one seems bold'
enough to say. There seems to be a general desire
that the causes of the failure be ascertained by a
court-martial, and the author or authors of them
meet with severe and merited punishment. •
THE Trials. •
The strategy.of the affair; wholh is to be credited
entirely to Gen. Grant, is assumed to be faultless,
and the main complaints hinge on a series of mis
takes in the tactics--of stupidity in carrying out the
orders of the commanding general. The mine was
admirably prepared, but there are some, complaints
that the abattis - In front of the works was not in
cluffed'in the destruction. Our, troops, - when they
.charged into the yawning chasm, were thrown into
some confusion by the obstructions in front of the
works. This, however, is-an objection ofalttle im
portance, since however steady nil have been the
Imes orour troops, th . e . terrible fire ea the enemy
would have broken and thrown tiiiitanto disorder.
General Grant- early discovered' (hat with 'the
passage of the James was exhausted-all possibilities
of 'a movement by the left flank; with Richmond as
the objective point. Nothing, therefore, remained
to General Grant but to assault the rebel lines.
From day to day with shovel and pick oar men ad
vanced, until the intervals between the rlfie-pits of
their enemy was In some places less than 150 yards.
The ground is broken by hills and eminences sloping
loto ravines Intersecting each other at every angle,
.and some of the eminences - are very thickly wooded.
Over this almost impracticable ground our men
have slowly advanced, until only one hill remained
to be taken so that our guns could" entirely com
mand the city- It is called Cemetery Hill, and, like..
its nalnesake at Gettysburg, has now become his.,
toile. Its crest, frowning with guns, Is not more
then 600 yards from our advanced works. Its sides
are indented with earthworks, pitted With redoubts
and redans, edged with serried sellouts, containing
all the skillful defences known to skillful military
engineers.- The point - to us was of- vital impor
tance, and accordingly Generals Hancock, Sheri
dan, and Kautz were, as we stated yesterday,
sent across the James river to the vicinity of Mal
vern Hill. The demonstration is alleged to have had
; -Its effeet, although, in view of the heavy columns
that opposed usat the assault, It is- to be presumed
that Leo was not weakened to any-great degree.
Be this as it may, correspondents assert that the
Petersburg and Richmond Railroad was kept busy
all day Friday and Friday night transporting troops
to the rear. The bearing of these stratagems was
an entire secret in our army, being only known to
the oorps commanders, - whatever may have been
suspected or known by Lee.
The tac t tics proper were assigned to Gen. Meade,
under whose direction- the subsequent assault was
made. His arrangement of troops an order of bat
tle were as follows:
On Friday night the 9th Corps was withdrawn
from its position in the centre of the main line, and
massed to the rear and right of the mine: Behind
it was the colored division as a relief and support.
The 18th Corps was also to be withdrawn from the
main line, relieved by the 3g. Division of the 2d
Corps, that had the day before recreated the James
river and mused in a position to the right of and in
close supporting distance of the 9th Corps: The sth
Corps was to leave its line thinly picketed, and to
be massed to the left of and close to the 9th-Corps.
The let and 24 Divisions of the 2a Cerps were to-re
cross the James under cover of reserve: before the
commencement of the attack, to the right of and be
hind the 18th Corps. The cavalry corps was also to
return to the rear of our line around, the rebel right,
and move upon and attack Petersburg from Its
southern and southwestern approaches. The Ist
Division of the 9th Corps was to avail itself prompt
ly of the consternation created among the enemy
by the explosion of the mine, push forward - formed
In column of attack, and carry the intervening
rebel - work& The '2d and 3d Divisions of the 9th
Corps were to follovr the Ist, to the right and left of
-it, and take position with It on Cemetery Hill. The
sth and 18th^Corps were to close up as soon as the
enemy's line was - broken. ' '
Collateran but 'Uniso.ll.vritik„th)stkrance„of

along the line was ordered to open simultaneously
upon the enemy at a given signal made by the, ex-
plosion of the mine containing eight tans of pow
der, which was placed directly beneath the rebel
battery which Burnside was to assault. Not, only
were the siege pieces to open a fierce fire, but all
• the field artillery wihich could be got into position
after the opening of the battle ,was to advance as
opportunity offered, and bring their
. batterles into
play. Upon this awful fire of heavy guns It was
'natural that great stress should be placed, in the
expectation that the shock of its suddenness would
have a demoralizing effect, and so make the way of
the infantry easier.
MX1.1,091017 .0P THR NINA
Thus"far the plan was very good, but now for the
execution of it. EVerything seemed favorable. No
;noon illione '
the morning was black in its darkness,
the hour of the explosion-3 30 A. M.—was come,
and the fire was lighted. It went out ; again it was
lighted, again was It extinguished. This was a mis
fortune unexpected. An officer of the 4Sth Pennsyl-,
vania ventured into the shaft, and found that the
fire went out at each splice of the pine tube. Time
was consumed, and when all Was again
_pad) , it
was broad daylight. A third time the Tire was light
ed, and required no relighting. The army waited
in suspense, crouching on their 'arms, behind
the earthworks in the gray light of the morn
ing. None knew the locality at which the ter
rible upheaval was about to take place. But
suddenly there was a dull, rambling thud, pre
ceded by a quaking and upheaval of the
earth in the immediate vicinity. The earth was
rent along the entire course of the excavation,
heading slowly and majestically to the surface, and
folding sideways to exhibit:a deep and yawning
chasm, comparable, as much as anything else, to a
river gorged with ice, and breaking up under the
influence of a freshet. But there was a grander
effect than this observable also. Where the
Charge In the burrow was heaviest, directly
under the rebel work, an Immense mass of:dull
red earth was thrown high in air, in three broad
columns, diverging from a . single base, 'and as
suming the shape of a Prince of Wales' feather; of
colossal proportions. While the huge mass stood
poised for a moment in the air it was a magnificent
object of confemplation. The interstices within—it
seemed made of layers and shafts of sand—were lit
up with the lurid flash of the exploded gunpowder
and the variegated aspect 'of the whole—here dark,
.there Illuminated—reminded one of the pictures of
_Mounts Vesuvius and Etna in. eruption. After
pausing a moment, down it sank again, like a foun
tain when the water is. suddenlyshut qff, and the air
became filled with dust. 'Those near the spot say
that clods of earth weighing at.• least a ton, and can
non, and, human forms, and gun-carriages, and
'small-arms,wele all distinctly seen shooting upward
In that fountain of horror, and fell again in shape.
less and pulverized atoms. The explosion fudync
complished what was Intended. It demolished the
s x•gtin battery, aaa acted as the wedge whichopened
the way to the assault. -
The awl ul instant of the explosion had-scarcely
passed when the dull morning air was , made stag
nant by the thunder of outertHiery.4grom ninety
five pleceS, niched in every hillside .'pommanding
the enemy's position' there belched . out sheets; of
flame-and milk-white smoke, while 4 th.e•shot - and
shell sped forward, screeching,. howling, rumbling,
lihe the rushing of a hundred railroad trains. But
why attempt to glve an idea of such indescribable
and awful sound 1 The sudden transition from ut
ter silence to fiercest clamor was terrible. First a
Rodman thirty 7 two pounder on our front was plain
ly distinct; but soon the whole length of the line
became enveloped in the - discharges, and the air
was filled with the tre dous concussion. At first
the rebel artillery did respond, but soon their
thornier was
.added to ours, until the very earth
seemed to sway and rock beneath the awful din.
THII CHARGE IN TNN BREAM.
In the midst of this fire, our men were to rush
through the breach, and beyond upon the second line
Of works-crossing the crest of Cemetery Hill. The
14th New York Heavy Artillery and the brigade of
Colonel Marshal] had the advance, but as • the ter
rifle mass of earth looraeduP so suddenly andso near
them, a momentary fear was felt that it was one of
our own forts which had been mined by the enemy.
The delusion was an optical one, but still had its ef
fect in restraining the impetus of the first onset.
We will not say that the men became panic -stricken; -
but they hesitated, and the line of battle swayed.
At last the efforts of the officers prevailed, and the
brigade—but not until some five or ten minutes had
elapsed—charged with a wild cheer: 'The Ist Bri
gade, 'under the gallant Bartlett, was at their
heels, and together Ledlie , s whole division
charged through the breach. What few of the
enemy were near by surrendered without a . shot.
. But the sight' that met them must have 60E4
palling. Bodies of dead rebels crushed and mangled
out of all resemblance to humanity, writhing forms
partly burled, arms protruding here, and legs
3truggling there—a very bell of, horror and torture,
(Maine(' to a space of fifty feet in-length, and half
as many wide. But the time was not favorable to
the play of humane prompting's. This ehaoo of
Mangled humanity mixed , with debris of Imple

summit, subjected all the time to a withering tire,
Which increased in .Sorceness at every step, until
they became the centre of a converging storm of
shot and shell. Attacked on the right flank and the
left flank, in front and rear, they were compelled to
fall back to the partial protection of the crater,
leaving their course thickly strewn with the dying
and the dead.
THE (MARGE Or TIM OOLOHIDD
In rear of the main column of attack' the colored
division had been formed with a view to passing the
other divisions, when they Wide mincal the outer line,
and 'making this a starting point for the continuance
of the charge. Theist Division belittle centre, with
the 2d and 3d on either flank, and now the 4th ad.
vaneed beyond. The troops were in two ,columns
each brigade constituting a column. Their splen-,
did discipline could not but be• observed, and in
the early part of the contest -no. soldiers- behaved
more gallantly. They charged upon the next
and an interior line of the enemy,. and for a
time gained decided advantages, as• is- attested
in two rebel battle-flags whioh• they captured and
brought off with them. But the rebels-, exasperated
as we know them-now to have• been at sight of the
negroes, ;plight with the fury of devils, and rein
forcements coming to their aid--our signalofficers
counted six brigades hurried from a camp-beyond
the town—the tide of battle turned. The Colored
troops gave way, broke in confusion, when the rebels,
having repulsed their charge; charged themdnturn,
-and then they ran, a terror-stricken, disordered
mass of fugitives, to the rear of the whiter troops.
In vain their officers endeavored to rally them
with all the persuasion of tongue, sabre, and pistol.
About 1,000 of them rushed over the parapet, into
the interior of the crater, which the exploskin had'
caused to make a pit-like form, and was, already.
crowded to overflowing with officers and men. The
negroes tumbled headlong down the sloping sides,
when a scene of inextricable confusion ensued. Ef
forts were made by officers- to . { get them out of the
work and form outside, but they failed, and the
strangely mingled mass of• human beings continued
to crowd the pit, the upper portion of, which was'
about one hundred feet in diameter. •
Sappily about this time the rebel cannonade ma
terially slackened, the white troops recovered their
stamina, and our lines were straightened just in
time to receive a fiercerebel onset. The shock was
fearful, but was repulsed. While this fighting was
going on, some of the colored troops, estimated at
five hundred, clambered Out'of the crater, and - fled in
wild disorder to the rear.
Th,e white troops now left In. the works wore ex
posed to enfilading and cross-fires, but soon the order
came to fall back". The whole army returned to
their old positions, but retreat for those in the crater
was impossible. Ileinmed in on every side, they
were captured. General Bartlett and all his staff
and many regimental officers were among the pri
soners. The losses of this dististrons day were great,
too !great when we consider nothing was gained
*here so much was promised by the known ability
of our leaders. The bare figures are furnished in

The Burning of Chambersburg The
Town Desolated—Sufferings of the In
habitants—An Appeal for Aid.
(Correspondence of The Press.) •
likluttenuna, Ault 1,1884.
I avail myself of the use of your paper to-acquaint
the public with the deeds done at the ill-fated city
of Chambersburg. Ido 'this in haste, on behalf of
the sufferings and distress of her sorrowing people.
I will simply narrate what my own observations
and the undoubted testimony of her best citizens
have taught me to be facts. I propose no sensation
story to arouse the sensibilities of our Christian
people, but will present an unvarnished picture of
the realities, which are enough ,to cause the most
Stony hearts to cry out for vengeance. A chapter of
woe has been written at Chambersbarg that will
startle the whole civilized world.
On the morning of the 30th July, at 4 o'clock, a
squad of General McCausland's cavalry, in charge
of Major Harry Gilmer, approached the suburbs of
the city with caution, firing some shots, and meeting
with no opposition, they stopped at the residence of
Colonel Boyd, of the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry,
and asked for breakfast. The Colonel being absent,
they were met by his estimable lady, who was -
aroused from her bed, and proceeded to comply with
their demands. Her servants having all left in fear,
ahe informeil themahe could at once give them some
bread, • butter, and milk, but that.it would take her
some time to prepare a cooked .breakfast. They
chose the former, which they - took away to their
pickets, and,, after
. some time, returned with the
vessels. They then occupied the town, which they
found unprotepted. A large number went to the .
Franklin Hotel and demanded breakfast, which was
procured. In the meantime, General McCaus
land had Made a peremptory demand upon
the city for 3500,000, sloo,ooo of which, I
believe, was to be in gold. The banks had
removed all their money, all the councilmen but
one had left, and the people were utterly unable to
retpond to this dogaand..44g.. ulialt.jgnino,4he .
: pe - ""dpie - tieYe'glcan fen minutes to leave their build
logs, when a systematically arranged plan of firing,
the whole of the burnt district was commenced.
No pen can delineate the scene of confusion and
grief that followed. Camphone was poured pro-
fusely over the most combustible materials, and in
the time that it takes to write this the city was in
flames. ' The inhabitants scarce knew what they -
did, or what to save first. In ono instance, ,a man
had to bury his dead wife in the garden to keep her
body from the devouring flames ; 111M:tether, a father
his child. The sick barely escaped, barna upon the
shoulders of their friends; cows and pigs were con
sumed alive in their stables. Two colored women who
hid fled for safety into the garret, fearing captivity,
were consumed alive. A sick colored man, who was
so feeble as scarcely to bo able to leave his bed; was
FO burned beforehe escaped as to die the same day.
A gentleman told me he begged for a little time to
get his blind and aged father and mother away, but
the house was in flames ere they left it, losing all
their clothing.
Through walls of tire on either side, and crackling
flame and suffocating smoke, the father, mother,
and little children had to fly for safety, carrying
such parcels as they could bear. In very many oases
they saved nothing but the clothes upon their backs.
The horses had. all been sent off, and the only means
of transportation was what they could boar away
in their arms. Delicate women put forth su
perhuman efforts, and carried immense weights,
while others could barely, in their anguish, support
themselves. Pistols were pointed at the heads of
innocent and defenoeless women, and they were
made, in the presence of their crying children, to
ask pardon for their frenzied remarks. By some
they were jeered as they labored in their suffering.
Oh, God! are there any still who sympathize with
tiose who' did this thing! Let
,them go to the
blackened and desolate homes of hambersburg; let
them see the broken hearts that death will soon
claim ; let them go to the asylums for the maniac,
and ask if there are any from Chambersburg; let
them go to the alms-house and ask if any have been
affluent, and how , came their poverty. Let the
reader draw a picture: to-day you are in the
enjoyment _of wealth and luxuries, .to-morrow
the clothes upon you are your all. - If you
have a family of _children. depending upon you,
in sooh an hour of trial,' what will you do with
them 1 If there is a mother in oar whole land who
can feel, let her'respond to. the feelings of a mother,
and give to these afflicted. Let the little children
who are blesses( with comfort and plenty respond—
Jet the manufacturer, the merchant, the contractor,
who are growing rich, respond, and.quickly brighten
the gloom of these desolate homes. Organize in
counties and tittles, without delay, and appoint
your treasurers to receive for the " ohambersburg
fund." The people appeal to you in words of
searching lire for aid. They will appoint their
'committee, and will:equitably distribute your alms.
In the name of God and humanity, let me entreat
:you to this. If your hearts are still unmoved, go to
Chamber burg and hear the sad voice of the broken
Spirit, and your eyes will be baptized with tears of
kindness and charity.
The immense paper-mill, the Ellouring-mills, the
axe factory, the chair factory, the carriage tau
'tory, the distillery and .biewery, and all the
places 61 business that gave enitgeYrdent to the
pool!, are swept away. The court-house, the print
ing Offices, the city ball, the bank, and all the hotels
are gone. The finest private residences, two
churches, and all the stores are destroyed. The jail,
public school, railroad shops, and the warehokse of
Oaks & Caufman, are undisturbed.
The railroad took down to-day some oar loads of
provisions, and they will be looked for with anxiety
daily, as those who are left with homes are seriously
taxed in supporting their destitute neighbors. As
the kind offering of a lady who had her hortse. - filled
with thirty of these, I carried a basket full of pro
visions to a poor family, whose all to eat was but a
quarter of a loaf Of bread. Send flour, moat, rice,
potatoes, groceries, candles, materials for clothing
for men, women, and children ; send money to build
up again these once happy homes ; or shall they,
like the Acadian farmers of Grand ?re, be driven
from their homes by fire and sword, and, with the
ever-yearning spirit of Evangeline, wander forth
hopelessly seeking rest and peace.
Dr. Richards, their surgeon (formerly of Eutaw
street, Ealtimore,) upon the pleading solicitation of
a lady acquaintance whom he met to .save her
house, would not brook the meeting of the magnant
mous general, but gave her his horse, .which she
rode, saying that "McCatisland was drunk, and a
perfect devil." It is said that some of these "devils , '
wept at the misery thoy,had created. A. young lady
told me that one carried a large bundle on horseback
out of the city for her while she led her little brother
and sister through the fiery streets. , At one point
she had to turn back and seek some other outlet, as
to proceed would have been destruction. Individual
oases of sufferi n g and losses eould.be given, almost
without number, that would harrow your souls to
their very depths. I leave to the just indignation
Of the American people the choiceof their own apt.

'From the most careful estimate, not less than
$4,000,000 would be required to restore to thepeople
what they have lost, at the present high prices.
Nearly three hundred Incases, factories, and mills
were consumed, with all their material. The loss of
some was not less thou $60,000. Chasaborshurg was
a wealthy place and a beautiful tows in the heart of
Cumberland valley.
I have nothing to offer as to why this city was not
better protected by the military. The general im
presidon was that if General Caeca had remained
even with two or three hundred men, he conidlutve
kept the rehabs at 'bay untilthe arrival of Geiaeral

insane Asylums.
To the Editor of The Press: '
SIR: We have read with deep interest an article
from the New York Evening Post, under the caption
of " Insane - Asylarns-The Necessity of Strict Su
pervision of Them:" .It is 'gratifying to know that
the public mind is at length waking up to the Im
portance of a rigid scrutiny as to the treatment re
ceived by a Class at once the , most unfortunate and ,
helpless of any of our community. . •
Our citizens have been startled - at times by the
appalling fact brought tolight that individuals have
been incarcerated within the' walls of our insane
asylums who were in no sense proper subjects for
such institutions. And what has been done may be
done again, and no one knows who the next victim
may chance to be. Is it not, therefore, of vast con
sequence that each individual of our community, as
a matter or self protection, should exert all his influ
ence to bring about a reform, where it is of such vital
personal importance 1
The article referred to says: "The management
of these institutions should be conducted by persons
of well-known ability, great benevolence, tender
sympathies, as well as judicious. tact. No others
should have these persons in charge, and even then
abuses - must and will Creep' in, without they are
narrowly watched." We may see from this, then,
the importance of having, not only the most reliable
physicians, but the very best nurse* that money oan
procure for these peculiarly unfortunate beings. A
very careful selection should be made, which, we re
gret to say, is not , always the case, as in this age,
when "public economy " la so much in vogue, the
cheapest, not the best, are often selected. But is
this not economizing in the wrong direction I for al
though this system gavel dollars and cents to the
Institution, It gives not back its inmates to their
State or country. The cure of patients in all those
asylums should be demanded at anycost; and if they
are pronounced incurable, they should be restored to
their families, provided they are harmless, and their
friends able to support them ; and this, in order that
they may enjoy as "much_ home-happiness as their
nature is capable of during the remainder of their
ells ee.• Andwe must say we have but little eon-
Aden° in the benevolence of heart or soundness of
Ifidgm t of.altitkiclan who would not facilitate

Several, oases of injudicious treatment of the par
tially insane have at times come under our notice.
We here • mention tint one as an Illustration: A.

since, trout the effects of brain fever, become par

him in an insane asylum. lie always. loathed the
place, with its frightfully unnatural sounds and
horribly cetera associations, and pleaded for years
to be removed. Toth's his. friends-always turned a
deaf ear, Persuaded, no doubt, by the physician to
let him remain. Is there not a moneyed temptation
to keep vich men 7 s eons in these asylums for life 1
And all this did very well while. there was any
chance of the medical treatment of. the institution

featly harmless, and could read; Write, and. con

be was rendered inourable was. not to .be wondered
at, as he was placed in a hOme against his will, one
which evory feelineef a weak, and sensitive nature
rerolted'ironi ; where he found• no genial also
stations,: no friendship's sympathies, none .of the
every-day pleasantries of lite which give a charm to
existence, and to which this youth had been. ao
customen from his childhood ;,and. all this, with no
' hope of change: We , thithk this would have been
enough to have, deranged -a strong mind ; what
wonder, then, if a weak onesankunder such a hope

our juslgment, Been - placed in, charge of a, very

Agate, the article from the Post says :
." Many,
are irlearaerated against their will; thrust in by
friends (1) who wish to rid themselves of them, in~
order to oesess power over their wealth or their
persons. The misguided judgment of friends keeps
many there, Who ought to be restored to horns and
the loving are of relatives." Also.: "All asylums,

strictly, and often. a: Now, then, . here is
business of great importance for som e of oar noble-

ner that his life was despaired of. Two nights before
the fatal occurrence the mate of the Pontiac was

looked about toffee if any one was near, bat he tailed
to discover any person. The; steersman, then, much
_terrified,,Saiti the figure he saw was that of a strange
lookinganan of ghastly appearance, and almost im- "
mediately afterward exclaimed,: "-There he is
again, standing •at the captain's window!) , The

no tigers near it, nor at any other part of the quer- ,

all the seamen in. ed. The boy was sure it was the

him end others:of more mature:y ears.were inclined to

board believed that something supernatural was 'on
board, andthat some calamity was about to happen.
But , there were two on board who did not believe

Tun Farm, 21st or JULY.—The Cleveland Herald
motes the following singular facts respecting a fami
ly which the war has made famous. A remarkable
fatality has attended the well-known McCook fami
ly of this State. Charles, the youngest brother, and
but seventeen years old, felt at Bull Run,
July-21st,
1861 ; Brigadier General Robert MoCook,_another
brother, was murdered by guerillas in Northern
Alabama, July Mat ; 1862 ; Major McCook, the
father, waskilled . July 21st, 1883, In tho pursuit of
Morgan in this State, and Colonel Daniel IVlcOook,
a third brother, died from wounds July 18th, 1864.
&bent the '2lst of July, 1863; General Alex. alcD.
McCook and Col. Daniel 'McCook were serving in
the Army of: the Cumberland. They spoke to an
other officer of the remarkable fact that two bro
thers had died on the 21st of July In each of the two
years preceding, and remarked that that had made
the family at home supeistitlous as to that day.
When the 21st of July was passed, they again re
ferred to. the subject, and telegraphed to their
friends that they were safe. Just then they received
a despatch from home, saying that theiffather was
killed In the Morgan raid on the ihtal 21st.

VANN - MALTBY& IN 0111NA.,-Several populous dia.
tracts in Asia have been reduced to a condition of
misery almost inconceivable by the continuance of
the war between the Imperialists and Taiping&
Such la the extreme destitution that In some places
the people are driven to.the terrible resort of feed
ing on each other's flesh.' The Shanghae Shipping
Litt has the following:
"A correspondent writing from Gordon's head
quarters, on the way to Chang-chow, mentions that
the slaughter among the rebels, after the capture of
Bwoeoo, which we recorded in oar paper on the 16th.
Instant, was terrible. 'Upward of 9,000 were taken
prisoners, and of these it is estimated that 6,000
were killed or drowned, principally by'the Imperi
alists. They were all old rebels, and richly deserved
their fate, for the diabolical cruelty they had prac
ticed during.their present raid. In one village only
eighty inhabitants were butchered, because they.
had pulled away - wooden bridges which the rebels
happened to require. During the pursuit the bodies
of villagers, whose throats were cut because .they
were unable to keep up with their captors, were
found at frequent intervals. The villagers followed
'up the Imperialist troops and ferreted out rebels
who had escaped notice by hiding, stripped them and
bambooed them, after which they were allowed to
go free.
. " Outside the north and east gates of Chang-chow,
- about half a mile from the city, are ranges ot. huts,
amidst which, seeking what they can pick up from
the Imperialists, are hundreds .of gaunt, wretc hed
o
people, dying f hunger altd lilsease r horrible and
oathsome to look upon..„,Thp .111E14 are too week ,
and indifferent to buryttuadegilAthe bodies remain
where they fall, and dedernposerinthe roads, unless
eaten by the doge. We cermet . describe the horrors
that meet the eye at every: stop,, than by quo
ting the words of our correspondent :
" 'lt is horrible.to relate, it is horrible to witness.
To read that people are eating human flesh is one
thing; to see the bodies from which that flesh-has
been cut is another. No man.. can eat a meal here
without a certain degree of loathing. The poor
Wretches have a wolfish look about them that is in,
describable, and they haunt one's boat In shoals, in
the hope of getting some scraps of food ; their lamen
tations and,moanneompletely take away any appetite
which the horrors one has witnessed might have left
one. I ought to be tolerably callous by this time ;
but no one oould witnees, unmoved, such scenes as
these." I,
BtrRIIRD TO DRAM—Pam Silal„RtiMp, of Bran
don, says the. Springfield Republican, was burned to
death, a few days since, under the most shocking
circumstances. With her husband, who is almost
helpless, Using a broken back, she. had for some
time manufactured Matches on asmall scale.; and,
on the fatal day, finding imoke coming fronitsoian
where the phosphurus was kept in wafer, she, took

enveloping her in dames. She.. managed...to, reach
the react where her husband was and, with,tha little
assistanee he amid give, tear the burrdng• clothes
from her body ; after which she rolled upon the floor
in dying agony, there being no one tocara. for her
but beriausband, and he was helpless., A. rain was
falling at, the time, and she rolled ont.oe doors and
remained' there hoping it would quezush the fire.
She lived in thili condition, peifectbg cunsoiouit, for

VIKANOIAIi 'AND WIIIERCIAL.
There was only one meeting of the Board of
Brokers yesterday, and consequently there was very
little doing. The money market continues easy,
there being no difficulty in obtaining ample amounts
at ordinary rates. The sale of the new 740* loan
was not so spirited as on the previous day, yet the
subscriptions were quite large. The' interior has
scarcely yet been reached by the agents for the sale
of•the bonds, and it is quite likely that when the
people generally become fully•acquainted with the
merits of this excellent investment, the receipts into
the treasury daily will be largely in times "of im
mediate wants. The Government loans were not so
steady in the market yesterday, the 6-20 s having
fallen off %. There were some sales reported of
the United States 'Si loan at 10634. City loans
Were somewhat better, the old selling at ietx„, and
the new at 106%. Company bonds were very
sparingly dealt in ; a lot of Allegheny Valley Is
sold at an advance of 1; Camden and Amboy Se of
'59 at 118‘, no change ; Williamsport and Elmira
chattel 6s at 78. The share list was inactive, but
prices were firm ; Reading closed at • 6834, Benaeyl-
Tanis Railroad at 7331, and Catawissa preferred at
4034, all a slight advance ; Minehill Railroad and
Morris Canal sold at a decline of %, but Schuylkill
Navigation preferred was slightly better.; Green
Mountain declined 2, and Fulton advanced X. Ea
oepting for Green and Coates, which sold at as,
there was no demand for passenger railroad se=
curities. A sale of City Bank at 55. Gold opened
at 258%, and at one o'clock reached 257%. Theist,-

The bank compared with that of last
week, khows a decrease of more. than lite.millions
withdrawal of of temporary. deposits from tlia s Sub•
Treasury, and which will doubtless load tcilan in
crease of the amount under -the head of circulation
in the next weekly statement of the national. \ debt.
The deposits show an increase of nearly five mil
lions. The banks are, therefore, in a much gdonger
position than they have been for some months 'past,
and they stand ready either to meet a run' on their
deposits, in consequence of Government loan sub
scriptions, or to increase their ordinary line of
loans and discounts.
