After the'men went out, a citizen of Augusta, by the name of Robert Bland came in, and asked the wosoldiers had arms with them. up to the unarmed soldiers, raised the axe over their beads and said. “You are my prisovers,” One of the men jumped up, and grasping the rascal by the collar with one band, planted a blow on bis mug with the other fist that brought him to the ground, The tables were now turned, The discomfited rebel was now told that he he wa3 our prisoner. “I°ll die first,” eaid the rebel. The blows were repeated, and the obdurate man still refused to yield. He wag allowed to get up, when he broke and rau for the river and plunged in, where he was pelted with stones until life was extinct. Rice, the owner of the house where ihe tragedy occurred, confirt the etatement of the actors in this Senaliiites. The wife of Bland wrote an indignant note to General Steele: “I learn that my husband was murdered by some of you Yankees, I dont’t want his body eatea up by the hogs, and request that you permit me to search for it. What can be your hopes of Heaveu if you permit such barbarities?”’ . aaa GeetnennenenemneneaneeE DRAFTING IN CaLivorNIA FoR IRELAND.

Se ~ NUMBER 664, The Mails of the Golden Gate—the Last Rites of the Dead, Mr, Morrell, U.S. Consul at Manzanillo, writes as follows, under daje of Auguet 18, . to the San Francisco Postmaster: Sim—Your communication of the 10h . instant, in relation to the U.S mails which . Were on board the Golden Gate at the time . of her burning, was received yesterday per . Golden Age. I regret to inform you tbat . but a small portion of that mail matter has . been recovered. It bas been mostly-stolen . or wantonly destroyed by thieves and ma. randers, who flocked to the wreck a day or two after the disasier, aud were basy with . the work of plunder for some days, I bad no reason to suppose that any mails had . been washed ashore, Capt. Hudson reported that when he left the beach in front of the wreck, on the morning after the disaster, none bad been seen up to that time; and the inferefee was, that the mails bad been burned along with the baggage. Bat a few days afterwards, when be visited the wreck, he says be saw seven mail bags, or rather the remains of them, which had been cut open, and the beach was covered with letters, all open, and most of them torn. Abont the same time I learned that bills of exchange, drafts aud certificates, some of which [ saw, were being brought here by variots persons, who, in their ignorance, expected to gain some profit from them. Among the frst lot which was shown te me, were two or three Treasury notes, for sma)! amounts, I immediately communicated with the Captain of the Port, and requested him to take possession of all letters and papers of every kind, whatever, that might be brought here, ard also to send word to bie men, who, for the time being, had supervision of the wreck, to secure all papers that might be foand there, and to deliver them to me, in sealed packager, for tranemission to San Francieco. He acceded readily to my request, and on the 9th instant delivered me a sack, sealed as requeeted, the contents of whieh I am unacquainted with; and on the same day I delivered it to Cept. Hudson, who forwarded it, per Orizaba, to the Agents of the P, M. S. 8. Company in San Francisco, It seems that a greater portion of the whole letter mail was robbed. I have already represented this, as wellas all other facts connected with the loss of the ill fated steamer, to the Secretary of State of the U. 8. A., and I have included them all in Oapt. Hudson's protest. I returned from the wreck on the 16th inst., baving been there for the purpose of burying the remainder of the dead; and there were then only afew fragmenta of letters scatiered about. Should any more lettereor papers make their way here, I will cause them to be secured and forward. ed to you, . In a private letter to another party the . consul gaye: It was not tillthe morning of the 15th that T reached the beach, at a point 4 miles from the wreck. The firet object that met . my sight was w body which bad been thrown up by the sea, along with portions of the wreck and other drift wood. It wasentirely destitute of clothing, lying on the face, . and the attitude was that of one in the aet of trying to ecramble ap the beach while the undertow was dragging him back. Cluse by was another, alsu lying on the face, the arms reaching forward and the legs straightened out, as iu the act of swimming. The several remains were in various stages of decay, and in all poesible attitudes and with two or three exceptions, destitute . of clothing. I saw none that Thad reason . to suppose were females, though it was wholly impossible to distinguish either sex or age. Some few were underneath massive pieces of timber and spare, vo filled op above and around them that it wae imporsible to get at them for interment. I knew not what todo, except to leave them as they were. Oneof the persons with me suggested burning, that, as is well known, being the invariable method in this country . of dianosing of those killed in battle, friends . and foes alike. Shocking as was the alter. native, [thought it preferable to leaviog them thus to rot above ground; and there. fore, after taking away the skulle, which were more or less detached, for interment, the fires were kindled, God forgive me }t I did wroug. Without going into further particniars, suffice it to say that the earthly remains of those 26 victims lie buried on the bank above the beach, their graves scattered over an extent of five miles aleng the shore and across marks the resting place of each. . senses ee JUCHANAN AND wis Portraits.
