Before dawn on the 29th of September, Butler moved from Deep Bottom; the Eighteenth corps, under Ord, marched by the Varina road, nearest the river; and the Tenth, under Birney, by the Newmarket road; while Kautz, with the cavalry, took the Darbytown road, on the right of the army. All these routes run direct to Richmond, only ten miles north of Deep Bottom. The attack by Ord on the left had been ordered for half-past 3; it was not made until several hours later, but was then completely successful.

less to them, and not desiring to destroy life and property as a ruthless conqueror, Captain Coxeter placed his prisoners aboard and allowed the Mary Goodell to go free. The havoc made by the Jefferson Davis on the Atlantic coast, the privateer having captured prizes which amounted to over $200,000, caused the greatest consternation and excitement in Northern ports. Immediately upon learning of her career, the government at Washington ordered a fleet composed of the Jackson, Crawford and Varina, in command of Captain Howard, to search for the Davis and destroy her, and it is a fact that the Davis turned the tables in capturing the ship Crawfordand burning her, after having taken aboard the crew of twenty-two persons. The career of the Davis was ended off the coast of Florida on August 16, when, as the ship was making an effort to sail into the port of St. Augustine, she struck. A small boat was sent ashore for help and the prisoners were landed, and the Confederate officers we

filled with Federal soldiers, who crowded to the top of the breastworks to view us as we passed in the distance. The Federal agent of exchange headed the procession without any guard. He was very humane in his bearing towards our men, and I might say here that, while we suffered many hardships incidental to prison life, there were many acts of kindness exhibited to us by both officers and men among the Federals. Very soon to our great joy, we hove in sight of the flag of truce boat at Varina, where we were met by the Richmond Ambulance Committee, headed by that pure and patriotic gentleman, Mr. Robert P. Richardson, of Richmond, whose beautiful white flowing beard, kindly and dignified bearing, will be long remembered by the many who in those times that tried men's souls came in contact with him. About a month or so afterwards those of our party captured on the 9th of June, who had been sent to Elmira, as well as those left behind at Point Lookout, with the sad exception of t

Grand Exodus of three thousand Yankees. --About 1 o'clock yesterday three thousand of the Federal prisoners on Belle Island left the city for "Varina," (the farm of Albert Alken, Esq., twelve miles from Richmond,) a guide having been procured from Capt. Alexander's detective force to pilot them thither. They went under flag of truce to be exchanged, and were to be met by officers of the United States Army, empowered to effect that object. The party consisted wholly of soldiers, no commissioned officers being in the party. The guard attending the party was composed of a portion of the 42d Mississippi regiment, under Col. Miller. The prisoners were permitted to go by the C. S. Military Prison, and while in front of the building they cheered their imprisoned compatriots, (Generals and other officers) and otherwise testified their respect for them. They appeared elated at the prospect of going home. The day was intensely hot, and it was intimated, after they had been gone for s
