Lt. James Pollard.
A friend writes to us correcting an error into which some of the city papers have fallen, in stating that the officer in command of the forces that killed Dahlgren was Lieut. Spotswood Pollard. Spotswood Pollard is a gallant private in Co. H., 9th Virginia cavalry, and bore his part well in the affair; but the hero of the exploit was Lieut. James Pollard, of New Kent county.
he was in the city at the time the enemy approached it, and hurried to his company, then in Kingnia cavalry, and bore his part well in the affair; but the hero of the exploit was Lieut. James Pollard, of New Kent county.
he was in the city at the time the enemy approached it, and hurried to his company, then in King William, remarking that they might go that way, in which event he would endeavor to lay tithe tax upon them.
He got there just in time to collect, with his own company and others, near one hundred men, with which he routed and captured a force of two hundred under Dahlgren.

He is, therefore, a much younger man than Kilpatrick.
Ulric Dahlgren was younger than either of the above- mentioned, and hailed from the District of Columbia.

The appearance of the corpse yesterday was decidedly more genteel than could be expected, considering the length of time he has been dead.
He was laid in a plain white pine coffin, with flat top, and was dressed in a clean, coarse white cotton

Gen. Custar
In the "special orders" found on the body of the "lamented Dahlgren, " it was twice stated that "as Gen. Custar may follow me, be careful and not give a false alarm." The general inquiry upon the appearance of the morning papers, was, "who is General Custar ? and where is he ?" The busy-bodies soon made something out of it, and circulated a rumor that Custar was in Goochland and coming down the river.
The late Northern papers explain his connection with the recent combined plan for the massacre of the Government and the Custar Southern Confederacy generally Custar commanded the column sent towards Charlottesville, and which did not reach that city, but retreated precipitately upon the first of resistance.
It may be inferred that after he had destroyed Charlottesville and the University, and the mills, &c., in his route, he was to have joined in the butchery and demolition of the capital.
But the diabolical plot failed in its parts and in its whole.
