The change of Meade’a po-iti.m was
effected with the slightest confusion, and

For tho firi.t time during tho progress
of tho war tlie Fedora! surgeons that fell
into our hands at Chickamauga, have, wo
learn, been held a . priaonors of war.
The course was decided upon ns a retalia
tory measure. Civilized nations l ave
customarily rogardod surgeons and chup-
lainH as non-eomhatanls, and agents of
humanity; but not so our enemies. By
ii recent arrival from tho Norlh, the
Richmond Examiner has been placed in
possession of llie approximate number of
Confederate surgeons held as prisoners.—
Thorn are sixty-five a* F«rt McHenry,
Baltimore; twenty-six at Fort Delaware;
four or five ut Johnson's Island, (Lake
Erie, Ohio,) nnd throe or lour remain
ing at Gettysburg, at which place nearly
all efthom wore oupLurod. • Tho captures
at Chickamauga will placo us fully on an
equal footing, we learn, as t-> this class of
prisoners, nnd they are lo ho hold nnd
used to secure the release of our surgeons
nnd chnpluiiis undergoing the privations
mid seclusions of IhuiNorlhorn dungeons.

Further from the Mary Wilson.
We learn from Mr. John Wilson, «
resident of Atlanta, who arrival here on
yesterday morning, from Mobile, somo
further particulars of thiH terrible catas
trophe. As he passed the scene of the
late disaster, lie found that tho Mary
Wilson had boon a!most totally destroyed
by llio flames, only a Miiall portion of
hor iron work being visible nbovo the
water.
It has been ascertained corlninly, that
as mnny as thirty-two lives wero lost, and
It is feared thoro limy bo others still un
heard from.
About fourteen inilos from Mobile, as
tho steamer Natchez, of which ho was
aboard, passed, tho pilot discovered n
doutl body floating near tho flags. Upon
approaching tho body it was found to bo
ttnil of a lady.
She appeared to have been about thirty-
five years of age, bad a fine head ofauhiirr
