A Ride Over the Bloody Battle Field of
Corinth.
THE FEDERAL AND COFEDEUATE DEAD.
From a correspondent of the Memphis
Argus, written from Corinth, Mississippi,
we make the following interesting ex
tract
I had been covered up on t,he side of a hill.
Here several of the skulls and the feet of
most of the bodies had been uncovered
by the action of the elements, aud were
lying around upon the ground, already
bleached perfectly white, and of course
rapidly crumbling to decay.
The condition of these tumuli, I am
told by gentlemen residing iu the vicinity
who have examined every part of the
field, is a fair specimen of all the rest.
In one place (as I was informed by Capt.
Mask, of this town, who, with Col. Folk,
rode over the field with me) the bodies of
two or three Confederates were placed by
the side of a log (to save labor I suppose),
and a little dirt thrown upon them, the
dirt had all washed away, and there the
skeletons, lie, wholly exposed and uucar-
ed for, “ like the Leasts that perish !”
A desciptiun of the Confederate dead
on the battlefield of Corinth, will, 1 pre
sume, answer for that of most of those
who fell in the desperate and sanguinary
battle of Shiloh ; and it is earnestly to be
hoped that the public journals of the
South will, at an early day, call attention
to the subject, and urge the people to
move in,the matter immediately, to the
end that remedial measures may be adop
ted, and the demands of common human
ity satisfied. .
All over those fields of carnage the
boucs of brave men from every Southern
State lie exposed to the- action of the
elements, above ground, and ate hastening
to decay. Especially interested in the
subject, and in seeing that justice be done
in the premises, are West Tennessee and
North Mississippi, and Memphis and
New Orleans, whose gallant sons perished
here by the hundred and by the thousand,
in a cause which, though now forever
lost, they honestly believed involved the
salvation of a great principle aud the de
fence of their native land from unwarran
ted invasion. Shall the memory of these
brave and earnest men be thus dishonor
ed ? Shall that memory be held so cheap
by us, the survivors, that we may deny to
them the poor tribute of decent burial,
and a compendious monument, here at
Corinth, to perpetuate at least their dar
ing and their devotion to principle ?—
Forbid it, Heaven !
The cause for which they struggled has
fate; but they were none the less good
men and true. The great, and tl^pn still
open question of ultimate State soveignty,
for which they had died, has been deci
ded adversely by the supremest of all
earthly couits, but they were none the
less honest litigants, and are entitled to
the respect of all honest men everywhere,
however much differing with them in
opinion. The renown of their courage
and devotion, rivaling that of the bravest
and truest knights of old, or that ol the
men of King Leonidas at the “Pass”
has gone throughout all lauds.
" Where e’er heneath the sky of Heaven.
The birds of fame hare flown.’’
Everywhere, except among those un
appeasable cowards of our own land who
commenced fighting after the war was
over, these noble dead have been recog
nized as gallant gentlemen who laid
down their lives, like the true Anglo-
Saxons of every &£ c ; far a principle.
Their fame has passed into history.—
Without deciding whether their cause
was, ou the whole, right or erring, the
intelligent, the good and the truthful ot
all civilized countries have hailed them
as heroes, and held up their noble quali
ties to the admiration of all mankind.—
Shall we be less respectful to our own
brethren? Shall we neglect them?—
Shall we permit their bones to bleach and
rot above ground on all those battlefields ?
Again I say, forbid it, Heaven ! Forbid
it, every noble, every honorable impulse
of a common humanity !
Cash on Hand.
The following was to-day laid before
the House of Representatives :
Treasury Department, 1
March 17th, 1800. }
Sir:—I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of a resolution from the
House of Representatives, uuder date of
5th inst., requesting the “ Secretary of
the Treasury to prepare a statement show
ing the amount of money m>w in the Uni
ted States Treasury, including all sums
in the hands of Assistant Treasurers, Na
tional Ranks and ail other depositories ;
designating the amount in each separate
ly, and report the same amount in each
separtely, and report the same to this
House.”
I transmit herewith a communication
from tlie Treasurer of the United States.

tickets for sale iu any manner, to lev
and collect said tax from any property of
said person to be found.

of twenty cents per gallon on everr gal-
who stop here to examine the battle field,
is a strong earthwork known as Fort Rob-
iuett, immediately north of the Memphis
and Charleston road, on the hill, just
above the first “ cut ” on that road, about
a quarter of a mile west of the town.
Here occurred on the morning of the 4th
of October, that desperate conflict, so well
well known to immortal fame, in which
Coi. Win. I*. Rogers, of the 2d Texas
Regiment, commanded on that and the
previous day a brigade of Texas and Ar
kansas sharpsooters.
Col. Rogers fell, fighting, within the
fort, and is buried just without the ditch.
Of all the Confederate dead on this field,
Colonel Rogers is, I am told, the only-
one who was properly buried ; that is to
say, the only one who Tvas buried deep
enough to prevent the rains from washing
the dirt away and exposing his bones.—
He, it is said, was buried under 'the im
mediate supervision ot Gen. Rosecrans,
who had a substantial paling placed
around the grave, and a headboard, with
this inscription : “ Col. Geo. Rogers, 2d
Texas Regiment, Killed Oct. 4th, 1802.”
As will be seen from this (which is an
exact copy,) General Rosecrans made a
mistake in the first or Ohritian name of
Col. Rogers. It should read : “ Colonel
William F. Rogers, 2d Texas,” See. It
will be remembered by many of your
readers that Gen. Rosecrans, in some official
corespondence with Gens. Van Dorn and
Friee, soon after the battle, spoke in most
glowing terms of the gallantry of Col,
Rogers, naming ^him, I believe, “ the
bravest of the brave.” He also compli
mented the entire division to which the
knightly and peerless individual belonged
—Maury’s—and said that “ the brave
dead of so galiant a division should never
want for fittiug burial atjiis bauds ”—or
words to that effect. No doubt the Gen
eral fuily- intended to earry out this prom
ise, and probably issued orders according
ly ; hut those orders were certainly never
fittingly carried out, as will appear to any
one who rides over the field—as has ap
peared to hundreds and thousands who
hav^riddeu over it since the close of the
war.

Tea Months in Mexico — Interesting
Statement of the Condition of the
Country.
What the Writer Saic.
I shall now proceed to state some facts,
well enough known in Mexico, but kept
secret abroad; and I may add that all
cases I describe form by no means excep
tions, but occur in all parts of the country.
bVhcn I arrived iu March, 1805, at
Mazatlan, I found only that city, in the
whole State of Sinaloa, in the hands of
the French. -All the" west of the State
was in' the hands of guerillas. In order
to go into the interior I was obliged to
smuggle myself, accompanied by two
Friends, during the night from Mazatlan,
and as soon as I passed through into the
lines of the republicans, we were all cap
tured and brought before General Ramon
Corona. As soon as that gentleman got
sight of our American passports we were
set at liberty; he wished us farewell, and
promised in no way to molest us in the
future. We passed the two months of
March and April in perfect peace, but in
May the campaign was opened, and the
French-Mcxicau General brought his
hordes from Tepic.
Liberal Magnanimity.
In order to illustrate the contrast be
tween the conduct of the Liberals and
the French-Mexican commanders, I shall
relate a little occurrence which happened
a month before my arrival at A tale, a
little port in the State of Sinaloa. From
this little port one hundred French-Afri-
cans sailed, accompanied by a few sailors
from a French man of-war, and comman
ded by a ship’s captain, and marched
into the interior in order to capture the
seat of government of the State—the
city of Cullacan. Rut not' far from Al-
tetos, the commander of the Liberal for
ces received them, and with about one
hundred men attacked them in the almost
impassable mountain roads so impetu
ously, that, after about forty of the
French had been killed, about seventy
had to surrender at discretion. Colonel
Rube, who was well aware what would
have been his fate if he had been cap
tured, and tho French had been the cap-
tors, treated the vanquished with the
greatest attention ; divided everything he
had with them; gave them horses in
order to facilitate the toilsome traveling,
and sent them to Chihuahua as captives.
Vandalism of the French.
At the time the above affair ended so
disgracefully for the French, another col
umn of four hundred started in a south-
ernly direction, via Presidio, to the Villa
de San Libertian Messillas, Rosario, and
from there back to Mazatlan. That ex
pedition resembled rather the desolating
march of the Goths and Vandals than
that of a civilized army. In Presidio,
without the necessity of firing a single
shot, the greater part of the houses of
one class were burned down, while the
other class were saved by having above
them the American and English flags.—
In San Libertian the Liberal troops under
General Corona made some resistance, and
when they were conquered and compelled
to retire, the flourishing little village was
reduced to ashes. Two thousand people
were driven into the mountains without
food or shelter, and every cow, calf, hog,
or chicken which could not be taken
along was killed; even the dogs were not
spared. More than four thousand people
live in the State or Sinaloa to day like
cattle in the woods, without any other
food than half-ripe fruits, which grow
wild in the woods; the corn-fields have
been destroyed, the fences torn down, and
many poor women and children have per
ished through misery in the woods.
Horrid Atrocities by the Invaders.
In the first week of May last the Im
perial General, Lozado, moved from Tepic
with one thousand five hundred men, via
San Jago to the State of Jalisco. He
found the first resistance near Acaponeta,
where Frcfeeto Guzina, with his Indians,
tried to hinder him in his advance. Rut
resistance. was in vain. When Lozado
arrived at Acaponeta he gave the sign
for pillage. The most abominable acts
were committed by a dissolute soldatcska,
the cruelty of which cannot be conceived
by the wildest imagination. I do- not
intend to go into specialities of the inva
sion of Mexico, and am, therefore, oblig
ed to pass over details of extreme cruelties.
I will only remark that Acaponeta was
destroyed, burned down, and its inhabi
tants driven into the mountains, without
food or shelter, glad to have escap:d with
their lives. From Acaponeta the destoy-
ing hordes moved to Escumape, where j
the same spectacle was enacted, only in,a :
more cruel and terrible manner; because ,
here some earnest resistance was made, J
and the little village, with its three thous-;
and inhabitants, has been known as the
seat of Democratic principles. On the
10th of 3Iay, Lozado arrived at Rosario.
Here he met with a column of the French,
and both united, whipped Corona near
Mataian, took this village, as also Coco-
tota, destroyed the villages, farm-houses,
fences and everything, and the inhabi- j
tants who had not been cut down, and j
had not escaped, were brought as captives j
to Rosario.
Infamous Treachery of a 'French Com-1
mander. 1
In Rosario began a reign of terror and ,
death. After the defeat of Corona, at j
Mazatlan, he escaped with some hundred j
men into the mountains. Lozado issued
a proclamation promising an amnesty to.
all who should voluntarily lay down ilieir j
arms and lake the oath ot allegiance to-
the Empire. Many Mexicans, who con
sidered all further resistance useless, and
who arc without any means whatever to
continue the war, appeared at Rosario,
counting upon the conditions of tho proc
lamation, to lay down their arms and take
the oath for the Empire. They came
with honest intentions. I have known
and spoken with many of them. All
were agreed that if they would be suffer
ed to till their soil, and follow their occu
pations in peace, they would gladly accom
modate themselves to the new order of
things, and give up all further resistance.
Rut we .shall see how Lozado kept his
written proclamation. To illustrate what
happened, I will giye here a single in
stance out of fifty similar ones: Dr. Fran
cisco Rimienta never carried any arms
himself, but out of old friendship for
Corona, could not refuse to officiate as
his private secretary. He himself told
me of his having speken to Corona, and
that he had explained to him the useless-
ness of any further resistance. Resides,
he said, he had a wife with four little
children, who would starve without his
taking care of them, and, therefore, he
had come to take advantage of the proc
lamation. He was brought before Lozado,
who handed to him his papers of pardon
and release. In the evening he left Ro
sario in order to stay at Chametle with
his family. The same night a creature
of Lozado, by the name o£ Maurieio Cas
taneda, went to Dr. Rimienta, who was
torn from the side of his wife, in spite of
the prayers and cries ot four little chil
dren, and shot. This tiger remained till
morning with his victim, and then threat
ened with sure death anybody who should
dare to bury the corpse, leaving, in order
to commit similar crimes at some other
place.
Indiscriminate Butchery of the People.
I repeat again, all these things happen
ed before my own eyes. On the night of
June 1st, last, I counted fourteen victims
who were led past my window to be
brought to the Oampo Santo (cemetery)
to be shot and their corpses to be throwu
upon the road. In and around Rosario,
at the report of a rifle, the hogs came run
ning as a signal for getting hold of a
corpse. I have seen a man by the name
of Fcrez well in the evening, and the fol
lowing day lying before my door-half de
voured by the hogs ; and a woman, under
seal of secrecy, has told me that she had
seen how Ferez was torn by four soldiers
from his house, stabbed with their bayo
nets and afterwards thown into the street.
On the 18th of June, twenty-two Liberals,
under the leadership of Correa, were sur
rounded by a French party, and though
the Mexicans laid down their arms aud
made no attempt to run away, they were
all stabbed with bayonets and given over
to the hogs. When it is stated that these
twenty-two men were on their way to
Rosario to take advantage of the procla
mation of amnesty, the deed appears the
more, horrible.
Devastation by the Invaders.
At that time I had to make a trip from
Mazatian to Durango. This section was
formerly one of the most prosperous in
Mexico, and the whole way was lined
with habitations and fences. Rut great
God 1 what a sight it presented in the
month of July ! Heaps of ashes instead
of houses; skeletons of men and beasts
around the ashes; weeds and parasytical
plants covered the open fields; no fence,
no root, no man. From San 31arcus to
Saragossa and 3Iasatcs, one single desert,
one cemetry. More than 5,000 people
used to live in these districts, and to-day
not a single soul is to be found—all driv
en away from their habitations, and their
fields destroyed and wasted. Heaven
knows what has become of these people,
but I saw some of them in the woods,
who tell heartbreaking stories of their
Bufferings.
Mutual Distrust and Hatred.
Returning to 3Iazatlan, I had an oppor.
tunity to move in every class of society-
3Iy linguistic abilitidb and my social posi
tion afforded me a chance to be on a con
fidential footing with many of the best
people. I have often taken my breakfast
with French officers, who openly and
sincerely confessed their regret at the un
natural state of the country, and assured
me they should consider themselves very
happy at being recalled from 3Iexico;
not because they had the moral convic
tion that they would he able to appease
the country. I frequented the best fami
lies, and remarked with astonishment that
no French officer was admitted into re
spectable society. I found the antipathy
against the French amongst ail classes,
but with the fair sex the feeling and . the
hatred were the most bitter. Tne nick
name Chinaho, which the French call the
Mexicans, is accepted with pride by the
latter; but woe to the Frenchman who is
found alone upon an isolated road.
The Tyranny Intolerable.
I would mention the name of five of
the largest houses among the merchants,
if-I did not fear to injure them, which
complain bitterly of the inactivity of the
French, of the exertion of the Imperial
officers, and other kinds of oppression.—
I couid mention hundreds of the best men
in Mexico who acknowledge the Imperial
government, who are longing for an inter
vention of the United States, even with)
the loss of independence.
