Murder of prisoners by bushwhackers.
--On the evening of the 5th instant Capt. Congar (of the cavalry force guarding commissary stores at Clinton, Tenn,) was out on a foraging expedition with 12 or 14 men, when they were bushwhacked in Frost's bottom by some sixty bushwhackers, supposed to be a part of Cliff's disbanded regiment.--The Captain and 2d Lieutenant were captured, and 1st Lieutenant dangerously wounded.
The Captain and 2d Lieutenant were robbed of some $2,500, and then deliberately murdered by shooting through the head.
The 1st Lieutenant, who was dangerously wounded, escaped by crawling into the bushes.
