iiiveitigation of the rebel hutch
erilis at Fort Pillow has been made byri cour
fnittee,ot.Congress, and they more than confirm
tine first reports of the fiendish atrocity of the
rebel victors. After referring' to their shame
less violation, of ailtag-,of-,truce and the capture
of the Fort, the report - says:
-Then followed a scone of cruelty and murder
withciut a parallel in civilized war, which need
ed but the. tomahawk and scalping,knife to ex
ceed the worst atrocities ever committed by
savages. The Rebels Commented an indiscrim
inate slaughter, sparing neither age nor sex,
white - or -black, scalier or civilian. The am
eers and men seemed to vie with each'other in
the devlifih_ work. Men, women and children,
whereier found; were indiscriminately shot
down; beaten and hacked with sabres. Some
of children, not' more than ten- years old,
"elute forced to stand up and face their mothers
- While being slicit. :The sick and wounded were
butched without - mercy, the Rebels even enter
ing the hospital . buildings and dragging them
out to be shot, or killing them as theplay there
enable to offer the least resistance. All over
tbe _hillside the work of murder was going on.
1161i:berg of our men were gathered together
in lines or groups, and delibehtely shot: Some
were shot while in the river, while others on the
'bank; were shot and their bodies kicked into the
water, many of them still living, but unable to
make any exertion to save themselyes from
drowning. Some of the Rebels stood upon the
- top 'cif the hill, or a short distance down its side,
:end called to our soldiers to come up to them,
and itsUey approached shot themdown in cold
blood, if their guns or pistols missed fire forcing
Twin to stand there until they were again pre
liared to fire. All around were cries of "No
• quarter, no quarter!" "kill the—negroes !"
" shout them down!" All who asked for mercy
:were answered by. the most cruel taunts gird
sneers. -
'Some were spared for a time only to bemur-,
dere& limier circumstances orgreuter cruelty.
lie cruelty which the most fiendish maligmity
could - devise was omitted by their murderers.
Ooe white soldiers wlui was wounded in the leg
lio is to be• unable to walk, was made to stand
.up while his tormentors shot him. Others who
were wounded and unable to stand up, were
beld'up and ugain shot. One negre who•haii
•been ordered by - a Rebel officer to hold his horse,
Was killed by him when he remonstrated.—
..Another, a mere child, whom an officer had
taken up behind him on his horse, was seen by
.ohOmers, who at once ordered the officer to
put him down and shoot him, which was done.
The huts and, tents in which many of the wtund
, ed had sought shelter were set on fire both that
night and the next morning, while the wounded
were • still in them, those only escaping who
were able to get themselves out, or who could
pievail on others less injured than themselves
'kJ help them out, and even some of them thus
seeking to escape the flames were met by these
ruffians and brutally shut down, or had their
brains beaten out. One man was deliberately
fastened down to the - floor of a tent, face up
wards, by means of nails driven through his
Oithing and into the boards under him so that
• kanouid not possibly escape, and then the tent
set on tire., Another was nailed to the side of
a building 4,titside of the forty. and then the
building set on tire and burned. The charred
R'et'ains of five or six bodies were afterwards
Found, all but ene so much disfigured and con
ituned by the flames that they could not be
identified, and the identification of that one is
- not absolutely certain, although there can hardly
be a doubt thut it was the body of Lieut. Aker
;strem, Quartermaster of the Thirteenth Vir-
Jouia Cavalry, and a native Tennesseean.—.
Several witnesses who saw the remains, and
who were personally acquainted with him while
living here; - testified that it is their firm belief
' that it was his body ••taat was thus treated.—
' These deeds of murder and cruelty closed when
night came en, only to be renewed the next
morning, when the demons ta •efully sought
among the dead lying about in ua directions for
any otfidr wounded yet alit e, and 'those they
killed. '
" Scores* the dead and wounded were found
there the day of the massacre by the men from
• some of our gun-boats, who were permitted to
go on shore and collect : the Wounded and bury
the dead. The Rebels themselves had made
a pretense of burying s great many of their vic
tims, but they had merely thrown them, with
. out the least regard for care or decency, into
- trenches and ditches about the fort, or the little
• ',bellows and ravines on the hillside, covering
them but partially with earth. Portions of
• -,heads''and faces, hands and feet, were found
prO-truding through the earth in every direr
, titdevea when : your committee visited the spot
, two weeks afterwards, although_ parties of men
had" been sent on shore from time to time to
bury the bodies unburied, and rebury'the others
and were even then engaged in the same work.
We found the evidences of this murder and
cruelty still most painfully. We saw bodies
• atillunburied, at some distance from the fort,
of some sick men, who had been fleeing from
the hospital, and beaten down and brutally mur
dered, and their bodies left where they had
fallen. ' We could still see the faces, and hands
"- and feet of men, white and
.black, protruding
out of the ground, whose graves had not been
reached by those engaged in reinterring the
victims of the .massacre, and although a great
deal of ruin had fallen within the preceding,
• two weeks the ground, more especiallyaon the.
side at the foot of the bluff where the most of
the murders had been committed, was still dis-•
-. colored by the blood of-our brave but unfortu
nate men; and the logs and trees showed but
'too plainly the evidences of the atrocitiesperpe
trated there. Many other instances of equally
• atrocious cruelty might be enumerated, but
- your committee feel compelled to refrain from
giving here more of the heart-sickening details,
- and refer to the statements contained in the
voluminoin testimony herewith submitted.—:
Those statements were obtained by them from
eyewitnesses and sufferers. Many of them, as
' they were examined by your Committee, were
lying upon beds of pain and sufferiogiome so
feeble that their lips could with difficulTy frame
' the words by which they endeavored to convey
Seme idea of the cruelty which had beeninflicted
anthem, and iivW,ll they had seen inflicted on
others. - In reference to the fate of Maj. Brad
: ford. who was in command of the fort when it
was captured, and who had, up to that time,
received no injury, there seems to be no doubt.
.The general understanding everwhere seemed
to he that he had been brutally .murdered the
day after he was taken prisoner.
How many of our troops thus fell victims to
the' Malignity and barbarity of Forrest and
bis - followers cannot yet be definitely ascer
tained. Two officers belonging to the garrison
. were absent at the time 'of the capture and
massacre. Of the remaining officers but two
are known to be living, and they are wounded,
and now,in the Hospital at Mound City One
of them (Capt. Porter) may even now be
•" dead,' as the Surgeona, when your Committee
Were there, expiaised no hole of his recovery.
• Iljt the men, from three hundred to four hundred
' • are known to'have been killed at Fort Pillow, of
.•w unn at least three hundred were murdered in
• cAd blood, after the fort was in possession of
-the .Rebels, and our men had thtown down
theirarins and ceased to offer resistance. Of
'the survivors, except the wounded in the hospi
. tel, at Mound City, and the few who succeeded
1 m making their escape unhurt, nothing definite
.'4; known, and is to be feared that - many have
. _been murdered after being taken away from the
fort.. When your committee arrived at Mem
ephis,Ventf., they found and examined a man,
- (Mr. Melmgan,) who had been conscripted by
- some of Forrest's force , but who, with other
',merits/a, bad succeeded fa making his mope
He testifies that white twe,compAnies of Re
bel troops, with Maj. Brafordind Many - other
prisoners,. were on their march' from- Brown
ville and Jackson,Tenn., Maj. Bradford was
taken by five Rebels, one an officer; led about
fifty yards from the line of march, and deliber
ately murdered in view of all those assembled.
He fell, killed instantly by three musket balls,
and while asking that his hfe might be spared.
as lie bad fought them manfully and was deserv
ing of a better fate. The motive for the mur
der of Maj. Bradford semis to hare, been the
simple fact that, although a native of the South
he remained loyal to his Government.
