[le was in the seven Gays’ fight with the regiment, and says the regiment which he was with numbered 1,400 when they went In, and could only muster 400 when they came out. The slaughter among the Confederate troops was very grest, some of the officers estimating the entire iossin killed. wounded and missing as high as fifty thousand. He saw the Federal prisoners marched to Rich- mond, and was told that 9,500 had been bagged | Some of them were putat once in Libby’s to- bacco warehouse, but the most of them were put on Bell Island. The city, he says, is one vast hospital, about 200 buildings being used assuch. Large num- bers of their sick and wounded have been sent to Amelia Springs, Huguenot Springs, and other places. Most all the families that are able to leave the city have gone to Danville, and at present very few other than the poorer classes re- main. Arcong the foreigners—especially the Irish and Germans—there is 2 great des! of Union senti- ment, and daily some are being arrested for dis- loyalty. At onetime, recently, as many as 750 ‘were imprisoned on suck charges. Every person ‘who refuses to make change for Confederate notes is arrested and imprisoned. When he left, Gen.
