M. ‘Assistant Surgeoa Green, of the Nineteenth Indiana, ‘Feturned this morning from Gainesville, where he has “Deen since the battle of last Thursday week, having re" mained bebind at that time for the purpose of attending to our wounded left on the field, Last Sunday, our ‘wounded being in such bad condition, Dr. Green started to meet ambulances which were repairing to their sesistance under a Sag of truce, and when within bailing @istance was met by General A. P. Hill, at the head of -Bis division, who ordered him to return to Gaines. ‘ville, where he remained a prisoner for three days. After laying his case before General Walker, who @ame into the yard where the prisoners were kept, he was unconditionally released by that officer. Dr- ‘@reen furnishes further interesting particulars, namely:— ‘When the battlo was its height on Friday, Jackson being ‘m command, the rebel army, heavily pressed by our treops, began to waver and fal] back, when the rumbling ~@f Longetreet’s artillery was beard coming to their aa- Sislance, and instantly a shout went up owing to this eircumetance. It infused the rebels with reuewed vigor. ‘When thig reinforcement arrived, at noon on Friday, hey made a fresh assault upon our lines, dashing over the wounded of the day previous, who were lying upon the ground without any sbolier whatever, and mapy of ‘whom were badly injured. Dr. Gree was informed by the Quartermaster of R. A. Pryor’s brigade (the report also being confirmed by other Moers with whom he conversed), that during the en- @eement of Friday General Pryor was captured by our forces and given in charge of a guard—one man—the Yank of V'ryor not being known, as he was dressed like @ Private. He, however, escaped, by shooting the guard ‘with a Deringer which he carried on his person. Dr. Green confirms the numerous reports relative to the Doasting of the rebels, and says they express confidence tm Deing able to get into Maryland, where they expect to reooive fifty thousand recruits. He alsoconfirme the re- Portef the existence of much dissatisfaction among the qmemy ; but attributes the scarcity of food to the great @Miculty of transportation, their army being such e# great @istance from the baze of their supplies. This is the ac- sount given by the rebels, From all appearances the division of General Waiker ‘Bas left the sceno of the late engagements for Harper's Werry. Noone seems to know anything of the where- ‘abouts of Jackson, there being a studied silence in regard “to all bis movements. General ce bas removed bis beadquarters to a position ‘Rear Leesburg. He bolds constant communication with ‘We captain of the guard over their prisoners, through @ouriers detailed for the purpose. ‘The rebels have thirty of our officers ameng thel, Prisovers, Inclading Genera) Bienker’s adjutant. They ‘wil coop be sent to Richmond by order of Gen. Leo, and 26 more will be paroled. Notice has becn given them that ‘9 wide éistinotion will be made in the treatment between ‘the offeers of General McCicilan’s forces and those of General Pope. The prisoners, with fow exceptions, now at @atnesvillc, are from Pope's late army. Dr. Green was informed by a Quartermaster that, a!- ‘Wovgh many of the rebel soldiers appeared without thoes, tbey still had sufficiest on hand; but, as | matier @ economy they will not de issued until the middle of Gis month. He says, also, the feeling is general among He men that the war shal! soon be ended, and say they ‘will dic before they will yield in their determination to Decome what they term an independent nation. Accord- fag to their own estimate of their numbers in the late se- Pies of engagements, they bad not less than ove hundred end twenty thousand men, with forty batieries of field Pleces, most of them being rifled cannon. Colonel Chamberlain, of ope of the New York regiments, ‘was sbot by aman named Haggerty, a Texan scout, and {Qs body suripped and Jaid perfectly naked on the side of ‘the road. He was shot in the back,and died inafew ‘minutes after. The man who shot him soon regretted the ect, and kneeling down beside him received hie parting weesage and also his likeness for bis wife.

THE WOUNDS OF GENERAL KEARNY. TO THE BDITOR OF THE HERALD, Wasmraton , Sept. 5, 1862. Having discovered a prevailing error in regard to the ‘wounds upon the body of Major Gen. Philip Kearny, creat- ed, no doubt, by the mere surmises of various newspaper correspondents, we, as the emnbalmers of the body, fee! it @ duty we owe to the public and the famity of the de- ceased to give @ true statement of the facts. Major Genoral Kearny met his death by the receptien of a Minie rifie ball of large calibre, which entered his body through tho gluteus muscies, at a point a little back of the articulation of the left bip joint. The ball, impi ing upon the bones of the pelvis, penetrated the og-in: minata, whence it directéd its course through the ‘abdo- min.) viscera to the integument just above the umbilicus, sliding upward between the skin and oa-sternum, where it lodged, forming a distinct and discolored tumor just above the centre of the breast. We cut the ball out, which was much flattened and abraided by the resistance it met in eS ig through bones. We placed the missile in the s of Captain W. C. Morford, Quartermaster of Gene- ral K’s staff, to be by him delivered over to the disconso- Jate family, ‘who will, no doubt, keep itas the most valu able relic bequeathed tothem by the ‘bravest of the brave.” DRS.

Davis and His Appointments by the Rebel Pre: ForTarss Monro, Sept. 5, 1862. Out of the 700 rebel prisoners brought here from the Potomac last Wednesday over one hundred of them have yaken the oath of allegiance and are discharged. They were Northern men, forced into the rebel army, and some Spaniards. The remainder were sent to-day to Aiken’s Landing by flag of truco. The steamship Ericsson and steamboats John Brooks and Vanderbilt left bere this morning for Newport News’s 1 take on the balance of army baggage, wagons and am- balances for the Army of the Potomac. Major General Keyes arrived bere this morning, on the steamer Canonicus, from Alexandria. The Richmond Whig of September 1, contains a lengthy and spicy editorial censuring Jeff. Davis and his Cabinet, for the tpdiscreet appointment of clerks in all the Depart- ments of State, calling them (the clerks) Jews and Yan- kees, and accusing them of being spies and disioyal to the confederacy. Jt recommends their removal and tho substitution of men of acknowledged loyalty and merit, and that the appointments be made unbiased by any po ‘Mtical infuence or favoritism. rt ‘The Congress is still in session, and feebly imitating the Congress of the United States.

They were landed at the foot of Beach street, North river, and shortly afterward a large crowd of our citizens, both men and women, repaired to the pier gates, anxious to see and get into conversation with the whilom rebel soldiers, who now declare themselves more than happy in escaping the tyranny so rampant throughout Dixie. The police, however, prevented (be promiscuous crowd from passing the pier gates, and only those who could obtain permits were allowed to have access to the prisoners. Meanwhile every crevice through which @ view could be bad was put to use, the younger portion of the crowd surmounting the piles of lumber and other acclivities Im the vicinity, bent on getting a good Jook at the ‘ secesb.”” ‘ ‘The following is alist of their namea, residences, &o., gome omissions being made by particular request:— Jose Martines Cornelius Daly.

No two of them were dressed alike: and the total absence of anything like a uniform evinced very clearly that matters in the rebel confederacy were at very loose ends. Many of them were shocless, while their bats and caps were of all kinds and colors. Nearly all of them are conecripts, and affirm that they have had quite sufficient of the rebellion. They denounce in very barsb terms the secession Jeaders, and refterate their own devotion to the flag and the constitution of the United States. They state that they have been very kiwdly treated at the bands of the federal government, and that if good opportunity were offered largo uumbors of the enemy would very soon come over to the Union tines. Many of these prisoners are adopted citizens, some pa- tives of Northern States, while others are genuine South. ern born mea. South Carolina, Alabama and Mississivpi have representatives among the number. Mapy of them were British subjects, forced into the ranks under the sweeping conscription which existe in the South, who could obtain no rolief from impressment, although totally unwarranted and illegal. They universally adiait thay the Southern cause is reduced to hopelessness unicss the rebels suoceod in carrying out the offensive policy Wey have inaugurated. The Soutuern country districts are in many cases al most depopulated, all the white males being forced into the army, leaving only the women and nogroes to carry on the cultivation of the farms. In Virgiuia, the seat of war proper, ope of them, who had been fifteen moatbs in the rebel service, told our reporter that he bad often warched for miles and miles through sections of country tbat were once fortile and populous without finding an tnbabited house, or seeing anything but devastation and dectruetion around him. The rebel troops are subsieting ‘op half rations of haifa pound of four and half @ pound of beef or bacon. Much of the beef, being fresh, soon Devomes worthiegs, in consequence of the impossibility of procuring salt with whieh to preserve it, They confirma the report chat Richmond ia a city of hospitals, although many of the wounded—such of them as were rendered incapable of any longer bearing artma—bave beeu vent to their buraes im the various Southern Stites. No attention whatever is paid to the length of time for which the men are forcel into service. One Of them told us that be bad positive assurances, wheu com: pelled to take up arms, that he would bo discharged at the end of twelve mouths’ service; Dut at the ead of that tire, when his regunent applied for its discharge, it wos peremptorily refused them. Discharges are uo looger granted to men singly or by regiments, no matier what were the promises made ai the time of enhsunent of cou scription. Every pledge given by the revel goreram iu this respect 18 deliberately violated also state that many of the rebel seldicry are without shoes, and are compelled to march ever 5 through Uriars and swamps, and bo fight wit as thore ix no means within the confedeiey for supply ing this deficiency. The shoeiess eppearance of maby of these men is faily confirmatory of tus statement, No These prise money (i. ¢., Confederate notes), or vary Hittle, in now paid to the rebel soldiers. Ove uf them told us that he had not received a cent im twelve montbe’ time and ag for specie, whey never sce it at ali. growseet misrepreniations are made Ww the soldiery by the rebel olficors. They are continually wld that any one Of them who deserts to ‘the Yankeos” will be either shot or huang by the Union soldiers, 08 they are Lendishly Viudiotive, and On thie account bovdrede are deterred from coming over to our lines. ‘Lhe desire of large nam bers to loave the artny is weil known (0 tbe revel ofivers, and they are obliged to ute the utmost vigilance vw pro: vent their desertion. Several of the prisoners admitted Ubat they were under this belvef until they bad \t Gispelied by the kind treaument they received at the Lands of our troops. ‘There men are now, of course, Wibout avy means whereby lo subsist themselves, and are Gta. byects for ihe consideration of our Joyal aod philanthropic oteene ‘Those who are natives of the South, as well ne inone adopted citizens whose bomes aad families are in revel dom, expross a desire to remain i the city, if they cao find employment; the others, natives of loyal States, desire to reach their friends im those States at as early @ day as possible. Chief of Police Kennedy fur- nisied them with lodgings and supper jast night, and it is to be hoped that they will soon be enabled to procure traneportation to their friends. As showing the misery that this unholy reveltion has caused among whe people of the South, we may mention the case of one of these mea, formerly of we First South Carolina regiment (Martin Dugan), who has a nice home, a wife and ivur cbiiren tn the city of Charleston, 2.

On one occasion, where they took possession Of a deserted Union camp on the peninsula, about a dozen copies of the HeRaLp were found, and a regular scramble took place among the soldiery for their possession. Although the papers were of an old date their contents were literally devoured, and the knowledge of many im- Portant results in favor of the Union arms was by this ‘means for the first time obtained—the {acts having been purposely kept from them by their officers. Another prisoner informed us that a regular system of Jying to the men is praetised by the officers tn general orders. Thus they were at one time told that Breckin- ridge bad recaptured Baton Rouge, afver annihilating the Union forces stationed there; that the Union fleet had de- cided to leave the Mississippi river, several of the gun- beats having been sunk by rebel batteries, and that Gene- ral Butler had proclaimed that he could no longer hold New Orleans, and was about evacuating that city with the Union troops. Other statements of official reports ‘equally false were told us; but this will do as a sample. ‘The prisoners are generally well informed men, very courteous in their demeanor and much above the average of rebel soldiers.

The Evacuation of Huntsville Steven- som and Decherd—Army Calumniators within the Lines—The Evacuation of Battle Creekh—Important Movement— A Vision of Success, dc. OUR NASHVILLE CORRESPONDENCE. Nasuvaus, Tenn, , Sept. 2, 1862. ‘There are all sorta of rumors prevalent bere in regard t@ the evacuation of Huntsville and Stevenson, I have been for several days informed as to our movements in the vicinity of these places, but have thought it con sistent with duty to refrain from mentioning them. Iam even now in doubt as to detailing the facts, but I pre- sume there can be no barm dope at thie Jate hour in giving the facts, ‘here is much excitement in the city on the subject, and we hear curses deep and loud from citizens and soldiers—General Buell being the party con demned and cursed. There are a hundred or so officers of the lower grade—adjutants and lieutenants—witb citizens and sutlers, who Joudly declare, in bar- rooms and other public places, their opinions that Buell is @ traitor apd rebel, and no general, Lan- guage the most disgusting and demoralizing is used by minor officers in the presence of all grades of soldiery and citizens of all sentiments; and this, too, when, sitting in snug offices wriling passes for women, they bave seen none of the movements and can give no motive for the movement. They loudly de- clare (bat General Buell bas evacuated the eountry ¢ou- quered by Mitchel, and is prepating’ to evacuate Nash" ville. General Buell and General Rousbean, with culpable negligence, allows this language to be used, in direct vio- lation of the regulations, and to the’ Complete demoraliza- tion of this army. In that negligence they are to be condemned, and it is to be hoped that they will reform this altogether. Huntsville, Stevenson, Battle Creek, Decherd, al! North Alabama and Southesn Tennessee, were evacuated, ‘not because ab enemy pressed Geveral Buell in the front, but simply because the enemy flanked him, moved North apd is now north of bis position. If Bragg crosses the ‘Tennessee and moves to Pikeville, does i+ not follow that Buell must move north to meet himy And sbail he allow troops to lie idle at Hunts. ville and other pointe where they are not needed, and fail to concentrate them where the enemy lies? This reasoning fails to strike the minds of the loud declaimers against Bucll, and who do not even know where the enemy is that causes Buell’s movements. The truth is that Gen. Buell has evacuated the country mentioned ; but be has done so at leisure, in the face of no foe; and, in leaving a district of no use to bim, be bas abandoned it to an enemy who shows no disposition to occupy it. A few hundred busb- whackers and four pieces of rebel artillery alone occupy Ube deserted country. Gen. Buell Jeft on the morning of August 22, and went to Battle Crock. He there superiniended the evacuation of that position sen@ing away ail tbe infantry by the mountain road to Alamont, and leaving the Tnirty-tbird Obio as a garrison at Fort MoCook. He instructed Col. Leo Harris, post commandant, to remain witbin the fort until certain scouts, spies and others brought bim im. portant mformation. Capt. Pryor’s company of East ‘Tenneseeeans were at that time on a scout, and did not return until Wednesday night. When Colonel Harris evacuated, Fort McCook was simply beld as a post of observation. Geveral Buell informed Colonel Barris that be would doubtless be shelled out, and ad vised such precautions as saved the command from dis aster, only ope man being killed. A full account of this bas been cent you. Colonel Harris evacuated on Wednes_ day night, and on the ensaing morning the rebels, num- dering five huvdred men apd a battery of field guns, wok possesion, Here they remained on Thursday. Hantsville was evacuated at leisare. General Buell ordered its evacuation vearty a week before it was accom- plished, and countermended bis order, to enable a Louis ville irm—Gutherie & Co.—to get away eix hundred and twenty-five bales of cotton lying near that point and Atheus. He even sent cars for the purpose; but the Heutenant colonel of the Twenty-tirst Ohio threw whe cotton overboard ina panic, apd the bushwheckers de stroyed it. Huntsville was a point of no importance to vs. It is a point of no tmportance to the rebels, and they have not ocenpied it even with guerillas. The Teoth Ohio, Colonel Lyth, apd the Fifteenth Kentucky, Colonel vope, marched out at Jeisure, and moved across the country to their present position. Om Senday morning, Anguet 31, tbe last train from Huotsvilic reached Stevenson, and was transferred to the Chattanooga and Nashville road, porting northward Capt. Perkins, the quartermaster, placed bis books and papers on board; the only remaining battery was {p line of march, when the rebels, who had ebelled Fort McCook, made their appearance. The two batteries unlitbered and went towerk. The first shell of tbe rebels fell in front of the Alsbaina House, and the next nearer the depot.

THB PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN GENERAL M’CLELLAN— WASHINGTON TRANQUIL. Washington is in a more tranquil state than some of the Northern cities, notwithstanding the rebels have en- tered Maryland in force, and the communications with the capital are threatened more seriously than ever before since the beginning of the war. The hotels are crowded with travellers and with officers, who have a variety of errands in the city. A few nervous families have left town for quarters where their supplics is not likely to be interfered with, but cach train hitherward comes crowded, and the side popolation has thus far had noebb. The whole community feel such unbounded confidence in General McClellan that they are apparently as wuch at home as ever. There need be no doubt entertained of the position of General McCleilan, He is unquestionably in command of allthe troops in this part of the country. Genera Hooker will very like be assigned an important position in the army now in the field. The is no doubt that the most perfect accord exists Detweon Goneral McClellan, the Secretary of War, Gene- ral Hallack and the President. The whole Cabinet is now united upon one policy, and all that is asked by Genera; McClellan is that he shall be allowed to carry out his present purposes. In conversation to-day with friends he said be had po quarrel with any one. He desired to let the past be passed. We have enough to do to fight the common enemy, and all he asked was to be let alone and be would put down the rebellion. FALSE RUMORS APLOAT.
