Marched at 8 o'clock this morning and took the road for New Glasgow. On the route we passed the house of Mr. Maye, at which we obtained some sorghum and had the pleasure of conversing a few minutes with a very patriotic and an exceedingly pretty young lady—his daughter. Passing the house of a Mr. Lipscomb and a Mr. Fletcher, and arrived at New Glasgow, a little village of about twenty-five dwellings and two hundred inhabitants. Here we met countless rumors for our hindrance. Colonel Cabell had just left the place to go to his brother's farm, (twelve miles distant) to remain until he could arrive at some determination regarding his future course.

Pollard's Company, was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, and was afterwards taken up and carried to Miss E. H. Van Lew's house on Church Hill. From her house the body of Colonel Dahlgren was first carried to Chelsea Hill, where it remained several days, after which the original resurrectionists (two white men—one of them being the late erratic Martin Meredith Lipscomb, whose proclaimed motto was to strike high even if you lose your hatchet—and a negro), placed the body on a wagon covered with young fruit trees and carried it through the picket lines and buried it near Hungary Station, R. F. & P. R. R. After the war it was taken up, carried North and again interred with kindred and friends. The papers which were found upon Colonel Dahlgren's person were the subject of immediate controversy. Throughout the North there were those who claimed tha

I replied that I had shown Maccubbin the grave where it was buried, and if it was subsequently removed, I knew nothing of it. After the war, when I saw in a Washington newspaper a notice that Admiral Dahlgren had recovered the body of his son, and that there was an imposing funeral in Washington, I was greatly surprised, and expressing this in the presence of Patrick Gibson, who at one time was on the staff of the Richmond Examiner, he said he knew who had taken up the body of Dahlgren, and had been paid a handsome reward by his father for its delivery to him; that it was disinterred by Martin Meredith Lipscomb, who was at one time quite a well-known character in Richmond, and said to be during the war a Union man.

hn Tyler, representative elect, went off very quietly, the news of the disaster to our arms at Roanoke Island seeming to cast a damper over the spirits of those usually in the habit of indulging in boisterous manifestations. We give only the returns from the First and Second Wards, some confusion in the counting of the Third Ward vote causing the clerks to evacuate the polling precinct at an early hour in the evening. The vote in Jefferson Ward was, Jas Lyons, 263; Wm. H. Macfarland, 172; Geo. W. Randolph, 34; Jno. B. Young, 13; John Robertson, 5; Robert Saunders, 4; Martin Meredith Lipscomb, 2.
