•To the Editor of The Press :
San: Oiving to. long absence Mini 'town, it
was but a day or two ago that I became aware of
the use (Or, more properly, abuse) of my name in
an article under the heading above,quoted, in The
Press of September. 30th. • -
Pray permit me to correct a few errors into which
the writer of that article has tallen—unconsciously,
I hope—with regard both to the MS. poem (the
Fiend - ,") to which he therein alludes, and to
myself.. The writer of that article asserts' that I
have been "sending to various newspapers. sumo
stanzas, entitled the .! Fire. Fiend,' &c." I assure
the writer that I never sent, caused to be sent, or
'knew of the sending of -the stanzas alluded - to, to
any other newspaper than the New York Saturday
Press, to which 'I gave them at' the request of the
then editor, Mr. Henry Clapp, Jr.__ . _
And, bad tho writer seen the said stanzas in that
journal—where they ;were originally and only pub
lished byme—and read the editorial note by, which
they were prefaced therein, 'he would' have been
spared the perpetration of his ingenious and ingenu
ous (7) criticism. -
The writer further states that the said stanzas
"have appeared in various newspapers daring the
last seven years." I assure him that, if this be true,
it is an authentic case of modern miracle, inasmuch
ae Ihave the beet of all possible reasons for believ
ing that the said stanzas were never in type pre
vious to their publication in the New York Saturday
Press, which was in the winter of 1869-60. - -
The writer asserts that "a great wrong" has been
done to Mr. Poe by the " casting before the world,
from post to pillar, a poem which Poe himself had
deliberately and judiciously rejected." ' •
I assure the writer that Mr. Poe never deliberate
ly, nor in airy other manner, "rejected" the poem
of the " Fire Fiend." I feel constrained to add,
however, that*l think it extremely • probable he
would have rejected It, had it ever chanced to come'
within the sphere of his critical observation.
The writer's pleasant irony on the subject of my
literary reputation, and the brilliant and'original
simile with which ho adorns it, I pass cheerfully'
over. 'lt has not hurt me much, and its composition -
was doubtless a relief to his feelings. •
The motive, too, to which he so shrewdly (!) attri
butes my "casting from postto pillar, arc.," the said
poem,—viz : desire to "proclaim, in connection
with the name of Poe, the name of the person hold-
Irg the manuscript—l am disposed -to treat with
equal mildness. But, as he himself' has—uncon
sciously, I suppose—assisted to spread still further
the said "connection," I think he might, at least,
have given my name correctly.. To the best of my
knowledge and belief, my middle initial is D, and
not A.
However, T even forgive him this, also, and will
merely-state, in conclusion, that the MS. of the
" Fire Fiend" was never "laid aside," nor "sub.
sequently recurred to" by Kr. Poe ;.that it was
not " found among his IYISS. after his death ;" that
it was not "given away to somebody by Mrs.Ormstsr,
(who never saw it in MS)—and that the un
dersigned was not such a "recipient". of the said
manuscript as the aforesaid writer believes he may
have been. Respectfully i .Sce:,.

November 15, 1864.
[The writer of the above, son of a respectable
dentist in this city, thinking himself aggrieved by
our mention of his name some weeks ago, has ap-
pealed to' our sense of justice to allow his denial or
defence to appear. Granting his request, it is ne
cessary to add a few sentences in explanation :
Some months ago a letter appeared in the Times,
charging the late Edgar A. Poe with having
plagiarized "The Raven" from an Oriental poem,
and comments on this accusation were made by
" The Lounger" of the Illustrated Times, Mr.
"I'laneur" of the Morning Star, the editor of The
Reader, and, we believe, in other London papers.
Ono of these writers mentioned the on dit that Poe
had written a poem, in a metro resembling that of
"The Raven ;" that, having laid it aside as not
good enough for publication, he had worked some
of its Buell into "The Raven," and that the manu
script of the rejected poem was in possession of a
gentleman of Philadelphia, to whom Poe's mother
''•law (Mrs. Clemm) had given it. On this subject
e wrote an article, vindiCating Poe from the charge
of plagiary, and mentioning that the other poem
alluded to load repeatedly, within the last seven
years, been published under the title of "The Fire
Fiend : A Nightmare—from an unpublished manu
script of the late Edgar A. Poe, in the possession
of Charles D. Gardette." We attributed this fre
quent publication to a desire, on Mr. Gardette's
part, to have his name publicly associated with
Poe's,. and said that flies were sometimes thus pre.
served in "amber chrystalization—a remark not in
tte best taste, nor at all original.
Our strong impression, amounting to a belief, fa
that "The FlraFiend" was offered for.publioation
in The Press, and declined, because we did not be
lieve that Poe had written it. Re never could have
said "The blood and tears my victims weep is my
sweetest incense," for he always wrote_ grammati
cally. We have also believed that "The Fire-
Fiend" appeared in the Evening Journal in this city
before it was published in the New York Saturday
Press, in which, however, we did not see it, and
therefore missed "the editorial note" referred to.
But it did also appear in the St. Ankustine Ex
aminer December 16th, 1860, for a manuscript calm
avowedly. mate from, that paper, is before us,
and we reasonably thought that Mr. Gardette,
whose middle initial is D, not A, had sent it to us.
We are not quite aatisfled that our impression is in
.
correct. We cannot implicitly rely on Mr. G-ar
dette's assertion until he shows how this " un
published manuscript of the late Edgar A:Poe "
came into "the possession of Oharlea D. Gardette;
shows, also, that it is one of Poe% manuscripts.. Up
to this time there is nothing but Mr. Gardette's
word that it is.
Since the Mil, was *written, we .have received a
communication from Mr. Gardette, (to whom we
had privately suggested, for his own sake, that he
might Withdraw or modify his letter,) in which he
confesses that "The Fire Fiend," which appeared,
under pis sown imprimatur, as "an Unpublished
manuscript of the late Edgar A. Poe," in the
possession of Charles ;D. Gardette, "did not
exist even in MS. a fortnight previous to its ap
pearance in the New York Saturday Press;"
that the editor of that journal know, when
publishing it, that the a,uthorlisip (imputed)
was a hoax, but added a prefatory- note .pleasantly
expressing his own scepticism; that the poem was
written and published in Consequence of a discus
sion, followed by a 'challenge, between its author
and a ,frlend *about the originality of Mr. Poele
genius,' which; it was contended, rendered a success
ful. literary counterfeit of his productions impos
sible, and that, therefore, Mr. Poe never laid eyes
upon said poem. Mr. Gardette actually con
gratulates himself on . the counterfeit „having
"been enough like Poe in manner and
matter to have deceived several literary - critics
on both sides of the Atlantic." In this he is
wrong. One English critic seems to have . 'merely
tuard of the forged poem, and we venture to affirm
that no one in this country carefully read It with
out doubts of its authenticity. Lastly, Mr. Gar
dette offers us a succinct and authentic history of
the composition and authorship of the " Fire Fiend,"
together with many ether details he happens to
know in connection with it. We decline this de
tailed confession of a literary fraud, and advise Mr.
Gardette to confine it to his own bosom. There is
nothing wrong in imitating an author's style, but
what can justify publishing an imitation, as from
the deadauthor's own manuscript, and
.doing his
memory the great injustice of not confessing the
"hoax" for four or five years? We dismiss this
painful subject, with no Intention:of returning to ICJ
—ED. Pima.

IR the multitude of letters from the numerous
regiments from Pennsylvania, but few have ap.
peered . froth the 2d Pennsylvania Artillery, which
is undoubtedly the largest regiment from the State,
and perhaps the largest in the army.
This regiment was organized in Philadelphia in
• 1861-2, its camp being at Camden, N. J. It may be
that the 2d Pennsylvardif or the 112th, as it was
then called, has been forgotten by the warm-hearted
and open-handed citizens of Camden; but it is cer
tain That the generous treatment and kind acts
reeeived at their hands are still remembered by the
veterans of•the regiment, many of whom assert their
intention to return, "when this cruel war is over,"
to' renew their thanks, and perhaps-.well, as the
correspondence has been kept up pretty briskly, we
will let the girls : tell the rest, while we proceed with
our short history of the regiment. It remained in
the defences of Washington from February, 1862, to
'Nay, 1864, and the boys began to feel like 'the
neglected lass at the ball in Posey county, Indiana,
who, when asked if she would dance, replied, "Of
course I will ; yer I've sot and sot until I thought
Pd tuk root." At the latter date, under the com
mand of Colonel A. A. q o lbson, who succeeded
Colonel Angeroth in June, 1862, the regiment was
ordered to the front as infantry. In July, Colonel
Gibson's leave of absence from the regular army
was revoked, and he was returned to the regular
service, the command devolving upon Major An
derson, of Philadelphia. After some delay, Major
A, wall commissioned colonel, but, unfortunately,
was killed, while leading a furious charge upon the
inemy'b works, a . few-hours only before his commis
_sten ,atrived. Captain William 11, XeClure, of
Columbia county,
.was then .'unanimously recom
•:merided by the officers of the regiment for the posi
tion, 'and was speedily commissioned, and now.com
nfan'ds' the regiment. • In order to suppoit my
assertion concerning the strength of the regiment,
I.will give you the, number of men as nearly as my
facilities will permit. Before the regiment left
Washington, the surplus recruits were formed into
a provisional regiment, which numbered over 1,400
,men. The old regiment had over 1,900 left, making
the total over 3,300, In August last, the ptovLsional
rigiment (which, by the way, was the cause of much
,ill feeling between our respected Governor and cer
tain. officials of the War Department, and called
forth a special message from •the Governor to the
!Legislature) was, returned to the old regiment,
Irbieti, after the consolidation, numbered,.present
and absent, over 2,800 men. Of this number, over.
1,400 are present; the balance are either prisoners,
,or absent sick and wounded, which is aufficient to
attest the hard service through which the " heavies"
have passed in their
,efforts in behalf of.our beloved

Rebel Barbarities to Prisoners.
The tale of rebel barbarity has come to be far
more than a "twice told tale," but no matter how
often itis told, it never loses In interest. -Six cap
. w .
talus and two privats, who escaped from a prison
pen at-Columbia; S. 0., and,made their way, after
terribl& hardships, to the blockading fleet off
Georgetown,in - the same State; arrived in New
York on ddy.' Their story chills the blood al
most In its recital, and it seems inerodible that the
. atrocities to which they and their fellow-sufferers
have been subjected could , ha.ve been practiced out
aide of the territory of the most benighted savages
on the
. face ',of the earth. We give the shameful
• facts just as they aw told byCaptain Thornton, of
the 18th Tennessee Cavalry; one of the number :
" During our stay at Columbus not an ounce of
meat has been issued to us. _ We have had no shelter
except what :we :could mike • for ourselves out of
bruin; which it was neat to impossible to get in suf
ficient quantities. Our rations were corn meal and
sorghum molasses of a very inferior quality. We
had no means of - cooking, and were not allowed to
pick up fuel. Those of ns having no money starved
to death, and the best of us scarcely were able to do
more than exist. When we were, captured we were
robbed of , every dollar and everything of value.
Rebel officers and soldiers robbed alike, even taking
the buttons -off our clothes. -The adjutant general
of Major General Cleburne's staff took the hat off
the. head of the adjutant of the 16th Ohio; saying,
'This is a good' hat, and just such a one as I want, ,
and carried. It off. It is universal amongofficers and
mento rob every prisoner. Ottr treatment has been
the most infamous and inhuman.that could!be•con
calved. . No human being can live long under such
treatment. Negroes were very kind to us and helped
us all they could during the twelve days that we were
getting from Columbia to the grinboat Canandaigua.'
The private soldiers at Columbia are infinitely worse
off than the efficers. • The miseries of. the men.can
not be deseribed. Many df them have nothing to
cover their nakedness but a grain sack; with holes'
cut in it for their naked arms. Dozens crawl out
of the prison pen every night, and are shot at by the
guards.. Many are killed .In this manner. Those
that escape to the woods are hunted by dogs, and
torn and mangled. A Captain Parker escaped on
the 6th of October, and was hunted by blood-hounds,
"-Who tore him so horribly that .he died in a few days.
If we had the time we could tell volumes of incidents •
of this horrible character. There are about twenty.
one • hundred prisoneis in this pen at Columbus,
and hundreds are without pantaloons or shoes.:
For days together all rations are withheldjrout
the prisoners, and then a rebel officer comes in.

allegiance and join the Southern army. In this way,
under the 'pangs of hunger, many have taken the

is binding upon their consciences. - It is impossi

MO Trial of Muller.
The London correipondentnf the Tribune, writing
on the 2d instant,-glves an excellent descrlption of
the trial of Muller. The entrance of the legal dig
nitaries into the little dark court-room of the Old
Bailey is Said to haVe been quite impressive :
Preceded by the mace and sceptre borne the Older
Baron Pollock and Baron Martin, who were tolry ,
the case, in long black gowns„ red - scarfs over their
shoulders, and wigs, and with them the Lord Mayor
in purple velvet robes with gold trimmings, and the
train-of robed Aldermen. With them, too;came
General Peel, M. P. (Sir Roberts brother), a fine,
frank, and strong-headed man, with Tory inscribed,
and Mr. Roebuck, who is very ugly, but has a cer
tain kind of crude intelligence about him. There
wits no other unofficial notoriety present, unlessl
may mention Miss Ada Isaacs Menken, who sat in ,
the gallery during the trial.
The respective counsel in the case are thus
'sketched ' •
The Cineen's Solicitor was a common-lookihg
man, with a rasping voice, who did not hesitate to
produce . a laugh now and then by affecting droll
phrases—as "that alibi clock," &c.
Mr. Sergeant. Parry, the prisoner's chief counsel,
was a grand-looking man, and had great power;
but it was felt that he was robbed of much of his
force. unconsciously, by a lurking non-belief of his
client's innocence.
Speaking of the method of conducting the trial,
the correspondent says :
Although the probabilities are more than a hun
dred to one that the prisoner is guilty, yet I am con
vinced that such a case would have had a far more tho
rough investigation in America. Whether it was
that insensibly the feeling had got possession of all
minds that the Safety of railway travelling de
manded that somebody should be executed for the
murder, I cannot say, but the whole trial - seemed to
me to have been disposed of with almost levity. For
example, the -jury were absent only about hve mi
nutes. • Now, there certainly are some mysteries in
the case, and it is Impossible not to suppose that the
minds of the majority of tie jurors were made up
beforehand. The question whether he had already
formed 'an opinion was asked of no juror when he
was sworn in. Again, a Mr. Lee deposed that he
bad seen two men in the carriage with Mr. Briggs
after It had stopped at Bow and.that neither of them
moved as if to get out, and his memory did not point
to Muller as either. Ono was a thick-set man with
whiskers.
Now, this evidence was sneered over—not invalida
ted—simply because Lee gave utterance to some of.
fensive sentiments of a general kind, or that he did
not tell the- police because he hated the bother of
appearing t Now, also, it began to be . Seen that both
Matthew' (the cabman) and Mulleihad hats alike ;
the . murder must have been done by, one or both, a
hat of that pattern and peCuliar lining having been
found. Both had their hats made to order; both.
were , fastidious about the fit. The hat was in the
court-room, In good preservation. Is it not odd that
no proposition to have •the hatter try the hat upon
the two men in the courtito see which head it fitted,
was made 1 Is. it not strange that'll° inquiry was
made whether Matthew, who Is a "low, thick-set
man," of-the kind Mr. Lee testified to seeing, be.
tide being ten times as brutal in appearance as
Muller, had or had not whiskers up to the time of
the murder 1 .These are only a few things of the
many.whicha thorough and religious Investigation
could, net, have passed over, but which were passed
over.. ,
. .
On, he last day of the trial a woman endeavored
butfatled to prove an alibi. It Is said that the sin
cerity of her belief in Muller's innocence ifai appa•
rently perfect and toulihing. When. the' Judge, in
summing up, cast out her testimony—going .out of
the way to have a fling at her character, which had
no bearing at all on the evidence she gave
lip quivered, and he sat down with his face burled
in his hands. It was clear that he had expected
help of the alibi that really became a point against
him.
The renditionpf the verdict and the sentencing of
.the prisoner are described as - follows :
Never have I known a more sombre scene than
that of the Old Bailey on the 'afternoon of October
29. A heavy fog -had fallen during the middle of
the day, and the little daylight that, travelling
under sheds' and roofs, and over thick malls, tries
to enter the Old Bailey ordinarily, now failed more
signally than usual. The chaplain ofNewgate, the
Rev.Mr.Davis, appeared in mull canonicals on the
bench to add to the omens. . The jury came in as the
great Wes tniin s ter clock tolled the liciur of three over
.the breathless. crowd, and long ere : . the _jury, 'had
spoken, every soul had fore-felt the fatal verdict. The'
Mel. baron leaned forward' - with his face' hidden
in the attitude of prayer, while the jury were ques
tioned. The prisoner stood alone motionless, while
Baron Martin assumed-the black cap and gave the
bitter-toned sentence. There was a deep feeling in
those present. But the agitation of the prisoner
was terrible.- •He began to speak, but broke down
with tears, saying only: "I am satisfied with the
jury and the laws of the country; but I have been
convicted not upon a true statement—but false. ,
These were the only words he uttered. These he
has thus far-reiterated, I learn to-day, In prison—it
being noted that he has not declared his innocence.
The public are fillanimons In the approval ,of the
verdict; not a voice In England, eerman, or other,
has expressed a doubt of Milller's guilt. Some good
judges think he had en accomplice, but the small
ness of the prize renders any such concert improba;
hie. A confession is eagerly expected, and is likely
to be given.
GEN. BUTLER'S WIEE.—Some 18 or 20 years ago a
young actress, a Miss HiWrath, played several eve
nings at the Dorrance-street theatre, Providence. I
happened to see her in the tragedy of Jane Shore.
Her part was a secondary one, that of the friend and
confidant of Edward's beautiful favorite, but her
conception of the character surprised mo by its ori
ginality and its impressive truthfulness. I felt that
she had great dramatic talent., and often wondered
that heT name had so entirely disappeared froM the
stage. In the spring of 1849, while visiting a friend
in Lowell, I found one morning, on returning from
a walk a card from Mrs. Benjamin Butler, with an
invitation to take tea with her the following eve
ning. I went with my host and hostess. No other
guests were invited. The name of Mrs. Benjamin
Butler had for me at that time no other significance
than might have had the name of Mrs. John Smith.
On our way to the house my host, a Webster Whig,
spoke of Mr. Butler not• too flatteringly—as a suc
cessful lawyer, smart but unsorupulous, ready to
take up the worst cases, and noted for always car
rying his clients through. On entering the parlors
1 was surprised Wand in the charming and graceful
lady who received us the dramatic friend and confi
dant of Jane Shore,whose talent had so impressed me
at the Dorrance-street theatre. Mrs. Biatlerwas a
young lady of Dracut, who, fascinated bythe stage,
and conscious of dramatic power, had obtained an
engagement at one of the Boston theatres, and who
was about two years earnestly devoted to her pro
fession, when Mr. Benjamin Butler proffered his
heart and hand, and won her back to domestic life.
I found that she still loved the art, and prevailed
on her to read to me some of her favorite passages
in Shakspeare. She road, I remember; the !prison
scene in "Measure for Measure," with a passionate
pathos that made me half regret that the "smart
Lowell lawyer" had won her away from Melpomene
and all her tragic glooms and splendors.-;-Cor. Prov.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
[From the Free South of Nov. 12. 3
FIRST VOTING NOR PRESIDENT IN THIS STA.TH.
On Tuesday last, for - the first time in her history,
polls were, opened in the Palmetto State on the ea
casion of a Presidential election. Heretofore, when
all the States were rocking with excitement over a
Presidential contest, South Carolina as if to show
her contempt for the democratic' element in our
Federal compact, was serene and undisturbed. A
few-gentlemen in Columbia went , through the for
mality of choosing a few other gentlemen to cast
the vote of the State in the electoral callege for the
pro-slavery candidates, whoever they might be.,
Last Tuesday, however, a scene was witnessed in
Beaufortxthich well might have made the bones of
'Calhoun stir in his coffin. This once most select
aristocratic town was as much astir on election day
as the most democratic ef. Yankee communities.
American citizens of African descent were bully
drumming up voters with all the energy of veteran
politicians. indeed, we think the great unwashed' ,
of the "fierce Demooraice " might have learned
some new arts from those .tyros in political canvass
!mg. 'For, with all energy and "excitement, fun, jol.
city, and good.humor ruled the hour.'
In response to a notice signed on behalf of the
g , State Executive Committee" polls were opened ht
the Free South . .. Building for the citizens and sol
diem of other States, while those of South Carolina
were -Invited to cast their votes at the Market
House.. No qualification was required save that
the .voter be twenty.one years of age. Printed
tickets containing simply the names of the rival
candidates were furnished. The polls were opened
at 10 A. X. and closed at 4P. X. At the market
House polls Mr. E. G. Dudley acted as inspeotor
and Mr. H. G. Judd as'elerk; while at the Free South
Building Mr. I. G. Thompson and Lieut. Baldwin
wore chosen inspectors, and Mr. X. J. French
clerk. •
Nost. of the interest centred in the Market Ileum
poll. The colored people entered into the spirit of
the thing with surprising enthusiasm. Most of
them were unaware of the informed character of
the proceeding, and were, therefore not only eager
to vote, but were' anxious to , give a largo majority
for Lincoln, whose name to "them is synonymous
with Freedom. A man who attempted to deceive
them with MCClellan tickets was detected and
rather radely hustled, but not hurt. We wonder
how much life would have been left in a black man
who baa, attempted the same game in the Sixth
ward in Drew. York city. The following is the result
Lincoln. McClellan.

The Exchange of Prisonergi en the S*.
On Tiesday, the Bth of November, just at night
falltehile the wires- all over the land were begin
ning to tell the story of the President's re-election,
the truce fleet of Lieutenant Colonel John E. Kt&
ford steamed out of Hampton Roads, on one of the
most gratifying, if not one of the most important,
missions of the war. This fleet, which was to give
hack to freedom and their homes thousands of in
valid prisoners of war, comprised some of the
largest, swiftest, and best•appoluted vesselkof the
Government transport service.
The Beet consisted of the following steamers :
New York, Captain. Chisholm, flagship of Colonel
Mulford, Atlantic, Baltic, Northern Light, Illinois,
Herman Livingston, George Leary, Crescent, Vic
tor, Blackstone, Weybpssett, General Sedgwick,
Karnak, Constitution, General Lyon, United States,
Varuna, and Staf,or the South. Several of those--
the four or five last-mentioned, I believe—were left
behind ; the 'Verona to bring despatches on Thurs.
day and the others to sail directly for New York,
having been temporarily detached from Col. Mul
ford's command, for the pupose of conveying troops
from the. Army of the James to the metropolis, where,
it was supposed, they might be needed °natation
day.' Some of the largest of thatransports, tlirAtlan
tic; Baltic, Northern Light, and Livingston, received.
-their passengers at Bola. Lookout as early as the
29th ult., and remained with Invalid prisoners on
board in , Hampton Roads' from that day until the
departure. Though each vessel had a surgeon, and
many of them a representative of the Sanitary Com
.misaion on board, the mortality.on shipboard was'
noticeably, large. On the Atlantic there were forty.
-'deaths, but she was the lint to arrive at Point
Lookout,- and. received the ;worst - cases from the.
camps. The deaths were principally from scurvy.
and chronic diarrhoaa. The entire uhmber of deaths
up to the time-of the fleet's arrival here was one
hundred andtvio t "
' On Saturday Morning theLiiringston, the Leary .
and the New . York went to the
,point of exchange
-a place about midway between Fort Pulaski and
Savannah. From this point the fort and the city
were in full' view. The tall spire of the Preabyte.
rian Church, the steeple of. the State House, the
roofs of the _houses—bright in the sunset glow that
rested over them—made,a picture:which we watched. •
for , a time with deep interest, Here 'they were
met by , the. rebel steamers Beauregard,. Ida,
Swan, and General Lee. The particularly"striking
feature of the scene was the .grotesque appearance:
of the rebel strainers, the Swan and the Gen.. Lee.
In the first place; it conveyed the idea most vividly
of a great destitution of paint in the Confederacy.
On that point they tell a plain, unvarnished tale.
Both vessels aro great,. slab-sided,' flat-bottolbed
affairs, like unsightly houses washed from their
foundations. A spectator at a. distance, without
being 'blessed with a lively imagination, might
have supposed these queer • specimens of naval ar. "
chitecture to be floating hearses, the Illusion being •
fostered by the funeral-like plumes of Cimmerian
smoke which waved from their slender chimneys.
The two first named are quite comfortable-looking
beats, with sidewheels and walking beams, close •
cabins, and the ordinary conveniences which - it is •
possible to attach to a miniature tug fitted up in . •
imitation of a Sound steamer. But the other two,
as before remarked, are most remarkable specimens
of naval architecture. The Swan is like anything
but a swan In her appearance. She draws but .
eighteen inches of water when laden, is some two '
or three- - stories in height, and was facetious.
ly likened to a steamcotton factory as she came s•
wheezing, puffing, snorting, and smoking down the
muddy stream. She was built in Wilming- •
ton, Delaware, some years before the War began ,
and, .picking her weather and her way along!
the coast, was eight months, it is said, In getting
from that port to her destination. Tarr similar to
the Swan in appearance is .the General Lee, only
that the litter seems like an older boat. Each 13
propelled by sldewheels whose paddles are scarcely
visibip, and each steered by three enormous radders,
swinging like huge barn doors at the stern of the ..
grotesque crafts. Many were the laughs and queer .
expressions that went up from our men at the sight
of this curious rebel *fleet. • But it 'Was because'.
the enemy had no better means of transportation .
that our Government had humanely sent its
own fleet to this point to be used in making the
exchange. But though the steamers were thus
outre, the 'crowds inside showed uproarious life,
instead of death.' A merrier set Of invalids were I

'were cranimedon board the steamers, and fringed:

almost dipping into the water through the Mimi..
ous carelessness of their owners. They went off upr
the river, yelling their peculiar mule.like cry which
passes for a cheer, with their illomened flag waving
over them, leaving the proud banner of freedoMbe
hind, the love of which, for a time at least; they .
have madly rejected It was quite dark before
he vessels were unloaded. The rebel boats brought,
down from Savannah a large number of the- ,, Rict.
mond Ambulance Committee,",who were provided.
with medicines, stretchers, and tin onps in great
abundance. They came prepared, it seemed, to
handle every returned rebel as if he, were &helpless
babe ; whereas, of those we delivered on Saturday—
and there were over a thousand of them—there were
not more than eight or ten who needed assistance.
The members of the "ambulance committee," as
they aro termed at Richmond, wore broad orange.
colored. ribbons non their , hats, on which were
printed the words "Committee - for our wounded."
They, manifested great concern for the - comfort of
their "guests,;' preparing hot coffee for them as
they came on Board.- 'The latter, of course, seemed
overjoyed at the prospect of -soon reaching their
homes after so long an absence.
