WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1862.
AN INTERESTING COLLOQUY.
The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston
Courier, in his last letter G) that journal, writes as
fallows :
I have had an interesting interview with an
officer of oar army, who was recently within the
orietny's lines, and who conversed freely with
their most prominent commanders. He says
General McClellan, and indeed, most of the old
army officer?, tire coaiteous and gentlemanly : but
i lie material ot jvmcD toeir iouowers is composed,
is repulsive, dissolute, vulgar, obscene and blas
phemous. Their inBolent bearing towards the
Surgeons who went under flag of truce to attend
upon oar woui-ded after the battle of Williams
burg, would infamously adorn the coo duct ot
Presidium Gaffrard's black minima. They alleg
ed that our troops mutilated their dead insulted
and bunted their wounded ; and, in reia'iation,
they propose holding our Surgeons as hostages ?
To the perpetration of soflagrantan outrage, the
latter dauntle9sJy defied ih?m. "Tell me, Dictor,"
said an upstart political General, "how you ac
count for the brutality! with which your people
treat our wounded and dead?'' "Upon the
gr.mnd, sir," replied the Surgeon, "that your peo
ple are ungrateful incapable of telling jtae truth
and that your leaders have to stimulate fero
city as a .substitute for truth." -What! da you
mean to deny the truth of my representations? '
i said t'-e vandal. "I mean to assert, sir, that they
i are palpable lies," was the rejoinder. My infor
mant represents Gen. V ool as being bordering
upon dotage. He is absent-minded and rambling
in his speech, vacillating and foolish in decision.
McClellan, he adds, is much overrated as a com
mander ; but polite and magnanimous. He free
ly confesses that the abolition - opposition to htm
is very great. Of our Generals he spoke in the
highest terirs. Beauregard and Joe Johnston he
called great men ; Early and Longstreet, he add
ed, were stubborn as twin devils; and Gen. G.
W. Smith he called his warmest personal friend.
"His talents," he added, "are allied to genius.
Under circumstances of adversity, he will rise
above them grandly. 'When the interview came
to a close the last words of McClellan' were,
"Farewell I I hope we shall soon meet in peace
and harmony." "Did . you say on the Qhicka
hominy?'.' responded my friend. Soon aftar, the
latter was introduced to the wife and daughter of
one of the Federal Generals. They closed their
doors and embraced htm ; avowed .themselves
secessionists; cut the Confederate buttons as kep
sakes, off the sleeves of his coat. They asked
him to implore the Confederates to flglit to the
death and in deaths for that, if subjugated, the
condition of Brazilian slaves would We preferable
td their fate.' "You can whip these Tankers,"
they added enthusiastically. "You whipped them
the other day, at Williamsburg; you can whip
ibem everywhere but on water; retire from their j
gunboats and you will drive' them back in rout
a- d defeat they feel it." As a confirmation of
this opinion of tie ladies, Gen. Hancock told one
of our officers that ha never saw such brilliant
fighting as that of the Confederates at Williams
burg, "Immortality," he said, "shjuld be in
scribed upon' the banners of the 5th North Caro
lina and 24th Virginia Regiments. " "They
fought like heroes," interposed an English officer,
"and the bearing of the Confederate cavalry was
splendid equal to anything that even have ever
seen." "Ah, yes," said Hancock, "with such in
fantry and cavalry, when we are one people
again, we can whip the world." "But one people
we never gain can be," said the Confederate. "I
suppose, Doctor," asked Heintzelman, "you call
the result at Williamsburg a Confederate victo
ry ?" "Certainly how many men did your divi
siou lose there?" "About two thousand." "At
the smallest calculation, then, your total loss in
killed and wounded must have been over 3,000 ;
you have all of our wounded, twenty or thirty
excepted, in your hands ; they do cot number
four hundred ; and the ratio in kilred. cannot ex
ceed one-third that number ; your papers admit
that you had 30,000 men in action, who assailed
about five thousand of our retreating army ; with
this number you were beaten back witn great
lo-s ; wa have four hundred of your prisoners ;
and yet you shout victory. Such victories will
never conquer the South. I wonder why your
neoole cannot affora to look facts in the face, and
tometimes speak the truth 1" "Oh 1" exclaimed
the frank Englishman, "we cannot afford to con
fess defeat even in a skirmUh. The people of the
North won't brook that. Such a confession would
cost the best of us his commission." "I pity
people," responded the Confederate, ''who require
such false and artificial stimulants, as would do
dishonor to the vanishing courage pf Bob Acres.
The Yankees aiteelnd appropriate private prop,
erty wherever they eattijfind Ik. What kind of
larceny or of warfare it jcpBStitues most be de

To frustrate Mis grand! larceny, and td prevent fi

THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER SUM
TER ARRIVAL OP HER OFFICERS IN
ENGLAND. ;
The London Star, of April 19, contains the fol
lowing :
Among the passengers by the Mooltan, which
arrived at Southampton on Thursday with the
Australian mail, was Captain Semmes, the com
mander of the Confederate man of war Sura ter,
whose daring achievements in the Caribbean Sea
have attracted such attention. After capturing
and deslroyiog almost a fleet-of mercbart ship
ping among the. West India Islands and in the
South Atlantic, the Sumter escaped to Europe,
and there .immediately commenced destroying
Federal shipping in tbe British Channel and in the
Bay of Biscay.
Captain Semmes is a small, thin, but wiry man,
with a weather beaten countenance, of a most de
termined looking character. Although not by
any means an old man, his moustache and beard
are quite white. He was very anxious to know
whether the Confederate army had fought any
great battle after retiring from Manassas, and
what progress the Federals had made at the mouth
of the MississiDDi. Among his baggage was an
immense trunk, filled, it was rumored, with booty
selected from captured ships. Captain Semmes
ia related to Mr. Jefferson Davis, the Confederate
President. The other officers of the Sumter were
also on board the Mooltan. They appeared very
Trnnncr
The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 11th of April
says : "The crew of the Confederate States steam
er Sumter is being paid off. It is reported that
the officers will return to England and the vessel
Ko n n I Via nfficAn to hODl this State-
mnt was mvntinnAd. deniea its-truth as to the sale
of the ship; but beyond this contradiction, and the
statement that the Sumter remains at Gibraltar in
charge of one or two officers, nothing could be
elicited from them ; they being, of course, very
nnrvOmn.nnicative as to the future movements
either of themselves or their ship.
