--On Sunday afternoon last the body of Col. Ulric Dahlgren, one of the leaders of the late Yankee raid on this city, and on whose body the papers revealing their designs, if successful, were found, was brought to this city on the York River railroad train, and remained in the car (baggage) in which it was till yesterday afternoon, when it was transferred to some retired burial place. The object in bringing Dahlgren's body here was for Identification, and was visited, among others, by Capt. Dumont and Mr. Mountcastle, of this city, who were recently captured and taken around by the raiders. These gentlemen readily recognized it as that of the leader of the band sent to assassinate the President and burn the city. 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 shirt, dark blue pants, an
