Rebel Barbarities.
The Memphis Bulletin* reports that the flat boats on which the sick and wounded of Gen. Curtis' army were brought down the river, were, though flying the hospital flag, fired on by men, or more properly fiends, from the bank. Our men cried out to them to stop—pointed to the yellow flag, and begged them for God's sake not to fire, as the boats were loaded with sick and wounded men. But the touching appeal availed nothing—volley after volley was poured into the defenseless hospitals, without their being able to return a shot.—Slowly and steadily they floated down the current, unable to escape the leaden storm, unable to hide or shelter themselves, unable to increase their place and get out of range of the remorseless, merciless ruffians who were murdering them in cold blood.—All they could do, was to lie still and take it, each one wondering whether his turn would come next, until the firing attracted the attention of the rear guard, when the pitiful cowards ceased their slaughter, and ran away like whipped dogs. Why won't some Englishman take this as a text, and enlighten the British public on the subject of the barbarism of the Northern troops!
In this wicked raid many of our men were wounded—one, a Captain, it is feared mortally. Confederate loss, none. Brilliant engagement!
