The Rebels had come in swarms over to our troops eompellino• them to surrender. Immediate ly upon the surrender the Rebels counnene ed a s iudiscriminate butchery of the whites 4411,4. - who had been previously wounded. The dead and wounded tregroes were piled in heaps and burned, and several citizens who joined our forces for protection were killed or wounded. The blaek soldiers, becoming demoralized, rushed to the rear, their white officers hav ing thrown down their arms.

Fifty-seven were taken aboard, inoluding seven or eight colored men. Eight of them died on the way up.
