ical account. In Auburn, N. Y., the drafted men paraded on the 23d with flags and music. They were addressed by "distinguished politicians," and cheered for "The Union--Old Abe — The Draft — Our Recent Victories, &c." Of course the $300 exemptions of these cheerful decoy ducks are paid by the Republican Union Leagues. In Maryland, on the same day, the scene was not so pleasant. In Harford Co. the barn of the enrolling officer was burned and his residence perforated with bullets. In Harrisburg, Pa., where the men would not enlist when the Confederates were at their doors, the women turned out, beat the Provost Marshal, destroyed the lottery wheel, and nearly killed a policeman. They were subdued by a posse of 200 men called out by the Mayor. The DeKalb, which was blown up by a torpedo off Yazoo city, Miss., was the first Yankee gunboat ever used on the Mississippi.

The 20th Indiana regiment was recently on guard there, and proved the members to be an an unmitigated set of brutes. They were succeeded by the 1st Massachusetts, who were entirely different, and very kind in their treatment of the men whom they were guarding.--When our wounded officers were sent from there to Johnson's Island, they were each given a $5 greenback. The quartermaster of the post is Mr. John H. Bosher, formerly of Richmond. Another place where the Confederate wounded are well treated is at Harrisburg, Pa. Our informant, Mr. Grant, who was wounded at Gettysburg, says the treatment there was most humane, and that the ladies did everything in their power for the wounded. The accounts of these two gentlemen are cheerful rays in the dark history of Yankee hospitals generally, and David's Island is as different from Fort Delaware as day is from night.

d of him by the guard. To accelerate his movements they drew their bayonets on him and struck him over the head with their muskets. Under this persecution he fainted and fell in the road, when he was caught by the collar and dragged some distance to a house, where he was kept under guard until an ambulance came along, in which he was conveyed to Chambersburg, and from thence on to Baltimore by railroad. One Surgeon with whom we conversed was for a time in charge of the wounded at Harrisburg, Pa. The treatment received there was in the main kind and humane, very little difference being made in the treatment of our own and the enemy's wounded. The country people around the place sent in many delicacies, and the Yankee surgeons permitted them to be distributed among our wounded. Of the treatment at Fort McHenry, as a general thing, the darkest picture ever drawn by the New York Herald of "Life at the Libby," conveys but a feint conception. The rations consist of hard tack (

The letter says: He has been retained ever since, though a rebel Major Jones, after giving his parole, went to Richmond, confident he could effect an exchange from his personal and political influence in the South. He failed, but came back and delivered himself up to the authorities at Washington. Brigadier-Gen Meredith, then Commissione

Rodes's and Johnson's divisions of Ewell's corps marched on the same road to Shippensburg. From Shippensburg they moved by two parallel roads to Carlisle, which they reached on the evening of the 25th of June. On the 29th Brig.-Gen. Jenkins and command, accompanied by Capt. Richardson Gen. Ewell's Engineer, went within sight and artillery range of Harrisburg, Pa., and reconnoitered the defences of the city, with the view on the part of Gen Ewell of attacking the place the next day with his whole corps. The next day, as Gen. Ewell was preparing to march to Harrisburg, twenty miles distant, an order came to him to unite his corps with the rest of the army at Cashtown, near Gettysburg. Major Gen.
