Don't me—-it’s not him—o 1 i >UKNAXj. li i-1 command ofioffiedrs of high rank, and evidently in pursuance a prearranged plan. - There can, I think, be noi reasonable donbt that, if not all, at least certain divisions of the Rebel army: had instructions not to take'any prisoners, and not let our mounded men be car ried off the | field. I proceed to adduce my proofs. ; For the information of the Uninitiated, let me premise Certain things that are so simple that it may seem folly on my part, but I think it will hare its use. An ambulance is a spring carriage for carrying off wounded men. It is of .a peculiar build and appearance, its charac ter easily recognizable at the' longest distance at which tt can be seen at all, and let me say that it can. no more be mistaken for any other carriage (ban a trptting sulky can be mistaken for a locomotive engine, , A surgeon; always wears a gteep sash, not only in our own service, but in every army of every civilized nation. The trimmings of bis uniform are green, and therein they differ from every other officer. It is no more possible to mistake a surgeon for on officer of hostilities than to mistake a drummer-boy fur a major general. ’ I When, on or near the battle-field, a surgeon finds it necessary to make temporary arrange ments for the care of the wotjnded, he selects a place as much sheltered os may be—generally in a ravine or behind a hillj, and, if possible, under a tree. When the surgeon goes to work, he generally takes off his green sash, and hangs it on a prominent branch of the tree, or dis plays it on a musket stuck in the ground—the idea being to fly the green scarf in the manner of a flag, to show that the place is under the immediate care of a surgeon, and is to be re spected accordingly. Whether the surgeon thus displays his scarf or not, his position can not be mistakqp for anytbing else. The wound ed men lying about, the cruel instruments in view, the busy doctors in their shirt-sleeves, and all the surroundings, attest the nature of the business there going on, and appeal, in the name of lour common humajn nature, to the best feelings, and the safest protection of the I contending armies, both sides indiscriminately. ; When a - mpn is wounded, hp is, in most ca ses, picke and killed three men of the Rhode Island Battery, and dismoun ted theirgun. The fire was kept np so unre mittingly, that the men-in charge of the ambu lance were forced to leave it. In-tbis case, alsij), the ambulance was made a special target, and was fired! at until it was probably destroyed. I Lieutenant Colonel Joseph J. Chambers, now commanding the New York 28th the Colonel being wounded and in the infirma ry, tells the following story: ; Lieut; poloriel Chambers, in the thick of the fight, and while he himself was hastening fur re-enforedments, saw near the brook (Bull Run 1 ) a Rebel deliberately bayonet one of our woun ded men, who was lying near the bank of the stream. Even in the exigency of the moment Col. Chambers wheeled his horse, rode up to tbe Rebel and shot him dead. Surgeon Barnes of the New York 28th Vol unteers, was in tbe fight all through, and came out of it in his shirt sleeves, having lost coat, sash, watqb and-all his surgical instruments, having been charged on by the Black Horse Cavalry and compelled to leave the field, being driven from under a tree where he bad estabj lished his; temporary quarters, and where he was attending to the wounds of about twenty five injured men, park of whom were Secession ists. , Surgeon; Barnes wept up to the battle-field in the rear of. the attacking column, and, as soon as our men began to fall, he took a position with his Assistants under a tree, in a little ravine. The wounded men were brought to him, and he took off his green sash and hung it on the tree to signify that the place was under the. charge of a surgeon. The injured men were brought in rapidly, and in 15 minutes he had under his charge nearly 30. As fast as possible he at-; tended to their hurts, and iu a short- time hadi been compelled to perform a number of capital operations. He amputated four legs, three arms, a hand, and a foot, and attended to a number of minor injuries. By this time the enemy had discovered the place, and fho nature of the busi ness of the men in charge, and began to pour in musket Balls, and projectiles from rifled can non. The place became unsafe for the woun ded men, and it was seen to bo necessary to re move them. The Surgeon’s Assistants and ser vant bad become separated from him, and be had no one to send for ,ambulances, and was obliged to leave the wounded men and go him self. It was no easy matter to procure ambulances enough, and l it was jtrobably 30 minutes before the Surgeon returned with the necessary assist ance. Wheh ho returned he found that every one of iho.se iron ruled wen had been bayoneted, or sabered, and : rcas dead. They were literally cut to pieces. Sum up these facts. There were 30 men nil dangerously {hurt —they had all been cared for by the Surgeon—they were lying on the grass in agonies of pain and thirst, with their band aged stumps;of li ibs, resting on the little ham mocks—with their severed lego and arms scat tered about—land, if more could be needed to show the nriture of the plac», the Surgeon’s green.aasb was flying as a flag in the tree, and the Surgeon’s instruments were lying in sight, "and yet these 30 helpless men were there and then dcliberajtely butchered. •' ' The Surgeon gathered up his instruments and started to retire to the roar, again to resume Lis duties. He was discovered by the enemy, and, although the boxes of instrifments under jus anna designated beyond dispute his rank and office, the infantry and a full battery of ri fled cannon played on him till he was out of their reach—he was compelled to drop his in struments and retreat as best he could. Col Slocunj, of the Now York 2d Regiment, was wounded by a grapeshot through the thigh. The Surgeon ; went to his assisistance, found him, and attempted to dress his wound ; hut the rifled cannon bumjndneed playing on them, and drove them fpom the field. They retreated, four men beaming the Colonel. In a short time a halt was made, and'again the rifled cannon of the enemy plumed on them and drove them away. All this time (he Colonel was bleeding his life away. From six several positions was Colonel Slocum removed before his wound could be properly dressed, although a tourniquet had at tir»t been applied. At last they took shelter in. the Stone Chufch (Sudley Church,) which hud been occupied las a hospital.. This church was soon shelled by the enemy. Colonel Slocum was, by order of the surgeon, removed to the oiltside of the Church behind, for’supposed grea ter safety. It was soon found that tbe continu al bursting of the shells made it more danger ous outside than within, and the Colonel was again taken inside the walls. ■ His wounds were dressed, and ho. was, as soon as possible, re moved from thg qjltirch to Fairfax, and thence to Washington, where Be is now rapidly recov ering. The shelling! and .ultimate burning of this church, is asserted by a cloud of witnesses. lieutenant Colonel Elliotf, of,the 79th (High landers,) N. Y.. saw the Rebels shelling the building while the hospital flags were flying.— He states that the hospital was made a special target for the rifled cannon of (he,Rebels, whd ’could not fail tq know its character, and that the attempt by libem to destroy it, and slaughter our wounded mpn, was deliberate, and was fol lowed up with the most persistent perseverance. The Surgeon bf the7lst New York Regiment Militia was in the hospital, and saw.the shell ing, and the attempts of the R-Eels fur its utter destruction. Lieut. James iVilson, of Company G. New York 2d Militia, had charge of the wounded men of his regiment, whom be escorted to the hospital (Sudley Chnrgh,) and placed them iu care of the surgeons, he himself remaining to render assistance. In a short time, the Black Horse Cavalry charged dowq tn the church, fir ing in through the windows with their revolvers at the wounded men as they lay on the floors, and al the surge pus in attendance'. A ntlmher of men attempted to escape .through, the doors, and were sabered as they game out. >. ... With Lieut. Wilson was a young man named, McCook, who is a son of Judge McCook, of New York. Wilson and McCook ran out of the building to escape ; they were met by the Black Horse Cavalry. McCook teas.shot tbrphgji the spine (dead,) and Wilson was taken prisoner. Wilson afterwards escaped; one of the two me)) who bad him in charge being shot by our own men, and be himself then shot the other, who was a captain of the Black Horse Cavalry. - Some of (he, New York ,71st discov ered a Lieutenant Culotjel oi| an Alabama regi ment wounded and lying on tW, ground. He threw up bis hands and begged for his life, to which response was made,” “We did not cobie here to fight wounded men.” They,took him to the hospital, (Sudloy Church) where he was cared for by our surgeons. He said, his wounds having been dressed, "Boys, I give you my word of honor that not a man in this hospital shall be injured while I have a breath af life.” It is said by some that the Rebels removed their.own wounded from the hospital—if they did not do so, then this Alabama Colonel was roasted alive with our men when the Secession army afterward burned the building. Some members of the Tits also found a wound ed Georgian, whom they cared for,-and took to one of our surgeons. After his wounds, were dressed hp said, “This is more than we would have done for you.” Efe added, “For Cod’s sake, get out of this; you are lighting 100,000 men.” This man was so impressed with the kindness of our men that he gave to one of the 71st his pistol as a keep-sake. Color Sergeant Charles Kent, of the N. T- Fire Zouaves, says he saw the death.of Capt. Downy of Company D, Fire Zouaves,'a mem ber of 34 Engine Company. He states that Downy was overpowered by a Superior force ; that he threw down his sword and tossed hiis •arms over his head to show that he was un armed, and as if begging for mercy, but that he was instantly transfixed by a score of bayo nets. Downy bad led his company in a gal lant charge up to a battery, and the last words he is khowp to have said were these, to his men: “Boys, lemeitib’cr Kew York is looking at you.” , Sergeant S. G. Goodwin of Company 11, Fire Zouaves, member of Engine 30, saw one of our men lying on his back near his horse, the man was severly wounded, if not already dead. One of the enemy rushed up to him, and thrice pierced him through with his bayonet. The same man saw a Rebel strike at one of our wounded men with a saber—the blow miss ed the man’s head, but cut off his band. One of the Fire Zouaves, who saw thecowntdly act, instantly shot the Rebel dead. , A member of the New-York 2d says he saw one of our men struck by the fragment of a bursting shell, and knocked down. Two Se cessionists rode up to him, and finding that, though momentarily stunned, the man was but slightly hurt, one of them rolled the man over, and then deliberately cut his throat with his saber. O.her istance? of the Rebel manner of deal ing with our wounded men I could cite, but the stories I have told I think will establish beyond question the truth of the following con clusions : Ist That as this slaughter of our wounded was not the mark of asingle company, or regi ment of the enemy, but was going on in all (parts of the field at the same time, it was done 'in obedience to an order from Rebel Head quarters. 2d. That, if this is the policy of the enemy, !it is to be feared that our own men will retali ate in kind, for their officers will never be able to restrain them in another action. My letter is already very long, but I still de sire to repeat my former remark ; - j Every statement in this communication about the treatment of our wounded men by the ene my, was taken by me from the lips of the offi cers, whose names are herein mentioned, and who'themselves saw the occurence. Nut a line is hearsay evidence. Bo.vap.vrte’s E tRLv Poverty. —M. Theirs, in his history of the consulate, recites some very strange and previously unknown particu lars.respecting the early life and penury of N.lpoleon Bonaparte. It appears that after he had obtained a sub altern's commission in the French service, by tiis skill and daring at Toulon, he-lived some time in Paris in obscure lodgings, and in snob extreme poverty that he was often without the means of paying ten sous (ten cents) for his dinneq and frequently went without any .at all. He was under the necessity of borrowing small sums, and even worn nut clothes, from his ac quaintances ! He and his brother Louis, after wards King of Holland, had at one time only a coat between them, so that the brothers could only go out alternately, ti pie and about. At this crisis the chief benefactor of the future Emperor and conqueror “at whose mighty name the world grew pale,” was the actor Tal ma, who often, gave him food and money. Napoleon’s face, afterwards so famed for its classical mould, was during that period of star vation harsh' and angular in its lineaments, with projecting cheek bones. His meager fare brought on ap unpleasant and unsightly cutan eous disease, of type so virulent and malig nant, that it took all the. assiduity of his ac complished physician Corvisart, to expel it, after a duration of more than ten years. The squalid beggar, then, the splended Em peror afterwards—the threadbare habiliments and imperial mantle—the hovel and the pal ace—the meager food and gorgeous banquet— the friendship of a poor actor, the homage and and terror of die world—an exile and a pris oner. Such are the ups and downs of his changeable life, such arc thp lights and shad ows of the great qn'd qjighty. “And the Stripes/’—A little four year old girl, while repeating the catechism to her moth er, was ashed, “What did God create?’’ The child promptly, replied, “The earth, the sun, the moon, the stars —and the stripes I” No maiden ever unlocked her heart to a lov er; but a hisa was the first prisoner to fly outl | Rates of Advertising. | Advertisements will be charged $1 per equate of IQ lines, one dr three Insertions, and 2b cents for every subsequent insertion.
