given away, and it was only by a quick run that we escaped capture. Lieutenant-Colonel Cary Breckenridge had the best opportunity, being on the extreme right—held his regiment in hand, covered by the Sharpshooters of the Second, and when they arrived in some timber, half a mile in the rear, he formed his regiment, and upon which the brigade was soon formed. Captain Lamb of the Third. Hobson of the Fourth, Captain James Breckenridge of the Second, kept his Sharpshooters well out, and Captain Litchfield of the First, were all active with their Sharpshooters, and conspicuous in their efforts. My men could see the enemy's numbers, and it was clear from the very start that this handful had not a glimmering of a chance in its favor. Had we retired at once, we could have done so without trouble, and with credit; had we attempted to hold our line any longer the capture of the whole command was inevitable. When my brigade had reformed, Rosser came to where we were and told me that the r

bered about two hundred and fifty, and sometimes more. The taking of shad and alewives for a brief period in spring had long been a profitable industry, and though its value had greatly diminished before 1847, yet in that year $253 were paid to the town for the privilege of capturing them. On certain days in the week nets were stretched across the river at convenient places, and on being drawn to the shore, would often contain a cartload or more of the treasure. Messrs. Waterman and Litchfield were doing an extensive business in the manufacture of doors, blinds, sashes, etc., on what is now Swan street. Robert Bacon had a factory at Baconville (in northwest Medford) in which he made hat bodies, feltings, etc. He is said to have constructed more than fifty thousand hat bodies per year. Thomas R. Peck & Co. had, on Mystic avenue, a factory for making fur (commonly called beaver) hats, of which the product some years had been about ten thousand, valued at about $40,000. B

geant, acting under appointment as a lieutenant, though not yet mustered in, and of course not recognized as such, he had rightly classed himself with the enlisted men. When brought up among the other officers his clothes, shoes, &c., were covered with a green mould. Lieut. Dutton, of the 67th Pennsylvania infantry, has been doomed to a dungeon until the close of the war; and is now suffering therein, for a similar offence, with the additional fact that he assumed the name of another. Capt. Litchfield, (I am not certain of the name,) of the 67th Pennsylvania, was confined in a dungeon for five or eight days on bread and water, for forming a plan of escape, which was frustrated. Colonel Powell, I think of the 12th Virginia Union cavalry, wounded severely in the back from a window in Wytheville, and left behind, was carried to Richmond and placed in the hospital. A few days after one of the Richmond papers railed out against him in a most brutal manner, and suggested that he be e

Mr. Butts, of the same battalion, was so badly wounded that he has since died. The prisoners. During night before last and yesterday squads of prisoners were brought in, captured at various points along the line. The number that had reached the Libby up to 7 o'clock last night was about 140, of whom there were but three officers. These were Lt.-Col. Litchfield and Capt. Clarke, of the 7th Michigan cavalry, and Surgeon Kingston, of the 2d N. Y. cavalry. The prisoners captured represent twelve different regiments, but tell very conflicting stores about their numbers engaged in the raid; but all concur in the statement that it was designed for the liberation of the prisoners now in our hands. A sergeant who was brought in on Tuesday night, had in his haversack two silver teaspoons and a silver fork, on which are engraved the initials "J. M.

The Baltimore American, of the 27th ult., has been received. The following is a summary of the news: The Yankees had not heard, up to the 27th ult., of the retreat of Sherman, the defeat of Seymour in Florida, or of the repulse of Grant's forces at Tunnel Hill. The Democratic State Convention of Connecticut has nominated Mr. Orizen S. Seymour, of Litchfield, for Governor. The New York Democratic State Convention met at Albany, Wednesday. After completing the preliminary organization, a committee on credentials was appointed, who reported in favor of admitting six delegates from each of the New York city factions — Tammany, Mozart and McKeon. A squally time ensued, the opposing factions charging each other with all sorts of vileness and trickery. The quarrel revealed the fact that with the exception of the Tammanyites, the leaders of the Democracy in New York city are thoroughly impregnated with the peace delusion. Finally the report of the committee was ado

towards Mechanicsville. On Monday Gen Butler received orders to send over a force to meet Gen. Kilpatrick and assist him if necessary. This force was sent and the two returned to Williamsburg. The force picked up on their way one of the escaped prisoners, a Col. Watson or Watkins, of Ohio. Over 500 prisoners were taken; but from the nature of the expedition it was impossible to bring them in. The casualties have not yet been ascertained. Col. Dahlgren, Major Cook, and Lieut. Colonel Litchfield, with about 150 men, are missing. The latter officer is known to have been wounded. The following telegram from Yorktown, dated the 8th inst., tells the fate of Dahlgren and his party: The gunboat Morse, Lieut. Commander Bacock, left here Sunday, 6th inst., at noon, to afford relief to Col. Dahlgren's party. On Monday, 7th instant, at 7 A. M., near West Point, the Morse picked up five men who had been attracted by her signal guns, and were guided to the river by friend
