'THE FORT PILLOW MASSACRE.Retort or the Committee on the Conduct or tue War.Washington, May 5.—The following report was made in both Houses to-day:—Tho joint Committee on the Conduct and Expenditures of the War, to whom was referred a resolution of CougresR instructing them to investigate the late massacre at Fort Pillow, designated two members of the Committee, Messrs. Wade and Gooch, to proceed forthwith to such places as they might deem neccs-Bary, and take testimony That the Subcommittee, having discharged that duty, returned to this city and submitted to the Joint Committee a report, with accompanying papers and testimony. The report was read and adopted by the Committee, whose Chairman was instructed to submit the same, with the testimony, to the Senate and ask that the same be printed.Resorts of the Sub-Committee.Messrs. Wade and Gooch, the Subcommittee appointed by the Joint Committee on the Conduct aud Expenditures of the War, with instructions to proceed to such points as they might deem necessary, for the purpose of taking testimony in regard to the massacre at Fort Pillow, submitted the following report to the joint committee, together with accompanying testimony and papers:—In obodieuec to tho instructions of this Joint Committee, adopted on tho 18th ultimo, your committee left Washington on the morning of the 19th, taking with them tho stenographer of this Committee, and proceeded to Oario and Mound City. 111., Columbus, Ky., and Fort Pillow and Memphis, Tenn., at each of which places they proceeded to take testimony.Although your committee were instructed to inquire only in Reference to the attack, capture and massacre at Fort Pillow, they have deemed it proper to take some testimony in reference to tho operations of Forrest and his command immediately preceding and subsequent to that horrible mt a acre.It will appear from the testimony thus taken that the atrocities committed at Fort Pillow were not the result of passions excited by the heat of conflict, but were the results of a policy deliberately decided upon aud unhesitatingly announced. Even if the uncertainty of the fate of those officers and men belonging to colored regiments who have heretofore been taken prisoners by the Rebels has failed to convince even tho most skeptical that it is the intention of the Rebel authorities not to recognize tho officers aud men of our colored regiments as entitled to tho treatment accorded by all civilized nations to prisoners of war.Tho declarations of Forrest and bis officers both before and after the capture of Fort Pillow, as testified to by such of our mcu as have escaped after having been taken by hint, the threats contained in tho various demauds for surrender made at Paducah, Columbus and other places, the renewal of the massacre the morning after the capture of Fott Pillow,I the statement made by the Rebel officers j to the officers of our gunboats who ro-: ceived tho few survivors at Fort Pillow—I all this proves most conclusively the policy they have determined to adopt.The first operation of any importance was the attack upon Union City, Tennessee, by a portion of Forrest’s command. Tho attack was made on the 24th of March. The fort was occupied by a force of about five hundred men, under Colonel Hawkins, of tho Eleventh Ten-ncsseo Union Cavalry. The attacking force was superior in numbers, but was repulsed several times by our own forces For the particulars of the attack, and the circumstances attending the surrender, your committee would refer to tho testimony submitted. They would state, however, that it would appear from the testimony the surrender was opposed by nearly, if noy quite all, the officers of Colonel Hawkins’command. Your committee think the circumstances connected with the surrender are such that they demand the most searching investigation by tho military authorities, as at the time of the surrender, but ono man on our side had been injured.Oil the 25th of March, the enemy, under tho Rebel Generals Forrest, lluford, Harris and Thompson, estimated at over six thousand men made an attack on Paducah, Kentucky, which post was occupied by Col. S. G. Hicks, F irtieth 111., Regiment, with six hundred and fifty-five men. Our forces retired into Fort Anderson, and there made their stand, assisted by somo gunboats belongiug to the-command of Captain Sheck, of the Navy, successfully repulsing the enemy. Failing to make any impression upon our forces, Forrest then demanded an unconditional surrender, closing his communication to Colonel Hicks in these words:— If you surrender you shall be treated as prisoners of war, but if I have to storm your works you may expect no quarters.”This demand and threat was met by a refusal on the part of Colonel Hicks to surrender, he stating that he had been placed there by his Government to defend that post, and he should do so. The Rebels made three other assaults that same day, but were repulsed with heavy loss each time, the Rebel General Thompson being killed in the last aseaalt. The enemy retired next day, having suffered a loss estimated at onethousand to twelve hundred wounded. The loss on our side was fourteen killed and forty-six wounded.The operations of the enemy at Paducah wore characterized by the same bad faith and treachery that seems to have become the settled policy of Forrest and his command. Tho flag of truce was taken advantage of there, as elsewhere, to secure desirable positions, which the Rebels were unable to obtain by fair and honorable means, and also to afford opportunities for plundering private stores, as well as Govrr.mcnt property. At Paduoah the Rebels were guilty of acta more cowafdlv, if possible, than any they have practiced elsewhere.When the attack was made, the officers of the fort and of the gunboats advised the women and children to go down to the river for the purpose of being taken aerosa the river out of danger. Aa they were leaving the town for that purnosc the rebel sharpshooter* minglod with (hem and shielded by their prcsem-e, advancedand fired upon the gunboats, wounding some of our officers and men. Our forces cotild not return the fire without endangering the lives of the women and children. The Rebels also placed women in front of their lines as they moved on the fort, or wcro proceeding to take positions, while the flag-of-truee was at the fort, in order to compel our men to withhold their fire out of regard for the women, who were made use of in this most cowardly manner.)r more full details of the attack and treacherous and cowardly practices of the Rebels there your Committee refer to the testimony herewith submitted. On the 13th of April, the day after the capture of Fort l’iilow the Rebel Gcheral Buford appeared before Columbus, Ky., and demanded its unconditional surrender. He coupled with that demand a threat, that if the plade was not surrendered, and ho should be compelled to attack it, ho quarter whatever should be shown to the negro troops. To this Colonel Lawrence replied that a surrender was out of the question, as he had been placed there by bis Government to hold and defend the place and should do sc. No attack was made, but the enemy retired, having takcu advantage of the fiag-of-truce to take somo horses of Union citizens, which had been brought in there for security.It was at Fort Pillow, however, that the brutality and cruelty of tho rebels were most fearfully exhibited. Tho garrison there, according to the last returns received at hcad-quartcrs, amounted to 19 officers and 588 enlisted men, of whom 262 men were colored troops, comprising ono battalion of tho 6th United States Heavy Artillery, formerly the First Alabama Artillery of Colored Troops, under the command of Major L. F. Booth; one section of the Second United States Light Artillery (colored,) and one battalion of tho 13th Tennessee Cavalry (white,) commanded by Major W. F. Bradford.Major Booth was tho ranking officer, and was in command of tho fort.On Monday, tho 12th of April, the anniversary of the attack of Fort Sumter, in 1861, the pickets of tho garrison were driven in just before sunrise, tbat being the first intimation our forces then had of any intention on the part of the enemy to attack that place. Fighting soon became general, and about 9 o’clock Major Bradford succeeded to the command aud withdrew all the forces within tho fort They had previously occupied somo entrenchments at somo dictanco from the fort, and further from the river. Thii fort was situated on a high bluff, which descended precipitately to the river’s edge, the ridgo of the bluff on the river side being covered with trees, bushes and fallen timber.Extending back from the river, on cither side of the fort, was a ravine or hollow the one below the fort containing several private stores and some dwellings, con stituting what was called the town. At the mouth of that ravine, and on er bank, were somo Government buildings containing eowmissnry stores. Tho ravine above tho furt was known ns Cold Bunk Ravine, the ridgo being covered with trees and bushes to the right or below, aud a little to tho front of the fort was a level piece of grouud, not quite so elevated as the fortjtself, on which had been erected some log huts or shanties, which were occupied'by the white troops and also used for hospititl and other purposes. Within tho fort tents had been erected with beard floors, for the use of the colored troops. There Were six pieces of artillery in the fort, consisting of two six-poundcrs, two twelve-pounders howitzers, and two ten-poundcr ParrottsThe Rebels continued tbeir attack, but up to two or three o’clock in the after-noou they had not gained any decisive success. Our troops, both whito and black, fought most bravely and were in good spirits. The gunboat No 7, New Era, Captuin Marshall, took part in the conflict, shelling tho enemy as opportunity offered. Signal had been agreed upon by which the officers in the fort could indicate where the guns of the boat could be most effective. There being but one gunboat there no pcrmament impression appears to have been produced, upon the enemy, for as they were shelled out of one ravine they would make their appearance in smother They would thus appear and retire as the gunboat moved from one point to another.About one o’clook tho fire on belli sides slackened souicwhit, and the gunboat moved out iu the river to cool and clean the guns, having fired about two hundred and eighty-two rounds of shell, shrapnel aud canister, which nearly exhausted the supply of ammunition. The Rebels having thus far failed in their attack, now resorted to their customary flag of truce. The first flag conveyed a demand from Forrest for the unnonditional surrender of the fort. To this Major Bradford replied, asking to be allowed one hour to consult with his officers and the officers of the gunboat.In a sbort time a second flag of truco appeared with a communication from Forrest. He would allow Major Bradford twenty minutes in which to move his troops out of the fort, and if it was not done in that time an assault would be ordered. To this Major Bradford re plied that lie would not surrender. During tho time these flags of truco were flying, the Rebels were moving down tho ravines and taking positions from which the more readily to charge upon the fort Parties of men were also engaged in plundering the Government buildings and Commissary and Quartermaster’s stores, in full view of the gunboats.Captain Marshall states that he refrain cd from firing upon the Rebels, although they were thus violating the flag of truce for fear, should they finally succeed in capturing, they would justity any atrocities they might commit by saying they were in retaliation for his firing while the flag of truce was flying. He says, however that, when he saw tho Rebels coming down the ruviue above tho fort, and taking positions there, be got under way and stood for tho fort. Ho determined to use what little ammunition he had left shelling them out of tho ravine, but ho did not get up within effective.range bo-fore the final assault was made.Immediately after tho second flag of truce retired, tho Rebels mado a rush from tho positions they had so treacherously gained, and obtained possession 0fthe fort, raising the cry of no quarter.— obtained by them from eyc-witncsseB and But little opportunity was allowed for re- sufferers. Many of them, ns they were siiitancc.

The Rebels commenced an indiscriminate slaughter, sparing neither age or sex,seems to be no doubt. The general dcrstauding everywhere seemed to be that he had been brutally murdered the day after he ttas taken prisoner.How many of our troops thus fell viewhito or black, soldiers or civilian. The tims to the malignity and barbarity ofofficers and men Boomed to vie with each other iu the devilish work. Men women and children, wherever found, wcro indiscriminately shot down, beaten and hacked with sabres. Somo of the children, not more than ten years old, were forced to stand up and face their mothers while being shot. The sick aud wounded wcro butchered without inercy, the Rebels even entering the hospital buildings1 dragging them out to be shot, or killing them as they lay there unable to offer tho least resistance. All over the hillside the work of murder was going on.Numbers of our men were gathered together in lines or groups, and deliberately shot. Somo were shot while in the river, while others on the bank were shot and their bodies kicked into the water, many of them still living, but ut-able to make any exertion to save themselves from drowning. Some of the Rebels stood upon the top of the hill, or a short distance down its side, and called to our soldiers to come up to them, and as they approached shot them down in oold blood, if their guns or pistols missed fire forcing them to stand there until they wcro again prepared to fire. All around were cries of No quarter, no quarter!”“kill the — negroes!’’ shoot them down !” All who asked for mercy were answered by the most cruel taunts and sneers.Some were spared for a time only to bo murdered under circumstances of greater cruelty. No cruelty which tho most fictidish malignity could devise was omitted by thoso murderers. One white soldier, who was wounded in the leg so as to be unable to walk, was made to stand up while his tormentors shot him.Others who were wounded aud unable to stand up, were held up and again shot.Ouo negro who had been ordered by a Rebel officer to hold bis horse, was killed by him when he remonstrated. Another a mere child, whom an officer had taken up behind him on his horse, was seen by Chalmers, who at once ordered tho officer to put him down and shoot him, wbieh was done. The huts and tents in which many of the wounded had sought shelter were set ou fire both that night and the next morning, tvhilo the wounded were still in them, those only escaping who were able to get themselves out, or who could prevail on others less injured than tbcmselucs to help them out, and oven some of them thus seeking to escape the flames were met by these ruffians and brutally shot down, or had their brains beaten out. Ono man was deliberately fastened down to the floor of a tent, lace upwards, by means of nails driven through his clothing and into the boards under him so that ho could uot possibly escape, and then the tent set on tiro. Another was nailed to the bide of a building, outside of the fort, and then the building set on firo and burned. The charred m ains of five or six bodies were afterwards found, all but ono so much disfigured and consumed by the flames that they could not be identified, and the identification of that one is not absolutely certain, although there cun hardly be a doubt that it was the body of Lieutenant Akerstrotn, Quartermaster of the Thirteenth Virginia Cavalry, and a native Tennossoean. Several witnesses who snw the remains, and who were personally asqiiaintcd with him while living here, testified that it is their firm belief that it was his body that was thus treated. These deeds of murder and cruelty closed when night came on, only to be renewed the next morning, when the demons carefully sought among the dead lying about in all directions for any other wounded yet alive, and those they killed.Scores of tho dead and wounded were found there tho day of the massacre by tho men from s me of our gunboats, who were permitted to go on shoro ami collect the wounded and bury the dead.The rebels themselves had made a proteose of burying a great many of their victims, but they had merely thrown them, without the least regard for or deconcy, into trenches and ditches about the fort, or the little hollows and ravines on the hillside, covering them but partinlly with enrth. Portions of ho ids and faces, hands and feet, found protruding through the earth in every direction, even when yo'tlt- committee visited tho spot two weeks afterwards, although parties of men had been sent on shore from time to time to bury tho bodies unburied, and rebury tne others, and were even then engaged in the same work. Wo found the evidences of this murder and cruelty still most painfully. We snw bodies still unburied, at some distance from the fort, of some sick men, who had been fleeing from the hospital, and beaten down and brutally murdored, and their bodies left where they had fallen, We could still Bee tho faces and hands, aud feet of men, whito and black, protruding out of tho ground, whcso graves had not been roached by those engaged in rcin-terring the victims of the massacre, and although a great deal of [rain had fallen withiu the j recoding two weeks the gr umd, n ore especially on the side at the f.ot of the blu F where the most Of the murders had been committed, was still discolored by the blood of our bravebut unfortunate men, and the logs and ______ _trees allowed but too plainly the evidences 1 Hrayman, Military Commandant at Cairo; of the atrocities perpetrated there.

Richardson, Norfolk county, Massachusetts, thinks that his success in preventing the attacks of the curculio is such as to warrant him iu suggesting his plan to others. As soon as the trees blossom, their trunks are surrounded by cotton saturated with kerossne oil. This i* placed a foot or two from the ground, and the oil is renewed once or twice a week, as long as the curculio continues to appear.Remedy for Cut Worms in Peach Trees.—We had a peach tree, a more beatlfifully shaped and grown tree of any scftt never grew, we watched it well, we found a cut worm in it and murdered him with malice aforethought; wo feared for our pet, wc removed tho earth for tho space of two inches below the surface and painted from thence six inches up the trunk of tho tree with coal gat tar, and replaced the earth, that year, its third, it bore a crop. Tho next spring it received a similar coat of coal gas tar paint, that year it over cropped itself and did so for the next two years, and notwithstanding all tho tying aud propping we could, the limbs would break until we became disgusted with tho unsightly matt of timber. Wo never saw any more cut grub in that tree.—Editor C. T.It is said that where tho roots and nests of fowls are made of sassafras wood, tho fowls will uot bo troubled with vermin. Pennyroyal rubbed ubout the head of a horse will keep of the blood-thirsty horsefly. Cedar wood boxes and closets aro a sure protection against moths in clothing and furs. Sassafras roosts and nests upon the same general principle will protect chickens from being Infested with lice.Sassafras aud pennyroyal we know will fail, and fail utterly, aud we know that where both did so fail, a little coal gat tar daubed on the ends of tho roosts cleaned our hens and premises from every louse, although but a few days before we used it, iiad a favorite hen killed on her eggs by these nuisances although she had a plenty of pennyroyal in her nest. Kerosene or coal oil will have the same effect as the gas tar.—Editor.To Protect Furs from Moths.—All furs—Russian sable, stone marten, fitoh. Maltese, chinchilla, and colored—should be put away as soon as warm weather commences. A Ruro way to keep them, is, to make newspaper sacks, double, large enough to lay the furs in without folding more than once to crowd or break them Make the cdjjcs of this sack perfectly tight, by glueing with Spaulding’s prepared glue, or stitched with needle and coarse thread all around. After you have applied the hot flat-iron where you think the moth has worked, and after your fura arc thoroughly brushed and free from the moth work, put them in this paper sack, the ink on which has also the effect to preserve them. Then put this sack in a linen one and hang up in your clothes-press, or some dark place, away from flies in summer, and not store them away in trunks. Many use tobacco in putting up furs for the season, but there is always danger of tho furs being destroyed, if that is used with them. If you prefer to put something in with them, use camphor, or line salt sprinkled through them. The risk of using tobacco is, there is an insect in the tobacco which is as destructive aa the moth, so that this plant is not a safo one to use in any form, shape or manner.Feeding Calves.—A friend of ours who has great success in raising calves on skimmed milk and corn pudding.” adopts the following method : He neverlet* the calf suck the cow, but teaches it to drink out of a pail. When the calf is three or four days old, he takes about a teaeupful of corn meal and pours a pint of hot water oTcr it, stirs it up and lets it seald for a few minutes. He then pours on three or four quarts of skimmed milk, or as much as tho calf will drink. In tho meantime he has had a piece of iron heating in the stove. When red hot ho stirs the. milk with it. This scorching the milk” he considers of the greatestim-portanco when calves are fed on skimmed milk. It prevents it from scouring the calves. As the calf grows older he in-Forrest and his followers cannot yet Ic definitely ascertained Two officers belonging to the garrison were absent at the time of the capture aud iflassacfe Of the remaining officers but two are known to be living, and they are wound' d, and now in the Hospital at Mound City. One of them (Cupt. Porter) uiav even now be dead, as the Surgeons, when yftir Committee were there, expressed no hope of his recovbfy. Of the men, from throe hundred to four hundred arc known to have been killed at Fori Billow, of whom at least three hundred wero murdered in cold blond after the fort was iu possession of tho rebels, and our men had thrown down their arms and ceased to offer rcsis' tance. Of tho survivors, except the wounded in tho hospital, at Mound City, and the few who succeeded in making their escape unhurt, nothing definite is knotrn, and it is to be feared that many have been murdered after being takou away from the fort When your committee arrived at Memphis Tenn., they found and examined a man, (Mr. MeLo-gan) who had been conscripted by some of Forrest’s forces, but who, with other conscripts, had succeeded in making his escape.He testifies that whilo two companies of Rebel troops, with Major Bradford and many other prisoners, were on their march from Brownsville and Jackson Major Bradford was taken by five Rebels one an officer, led about fifty yards from the liue of the march, and deliberately murdered in view of all those assembled.Ho fell, killed instantly by three musket balls, aud while asking that his lifu might be spared, as he bad fought them manfully, and was deserving of a better fate.—The motive for the murder of Major Bradford seems to have been the simple fact that although a native of the South, he remained loyal to his Government.The testimony herewith transmitted contains many statements made by the Rebels that they did not intend to treat home-made Yankees,” as they termed loyal Southerners, any better than negro troops.There is ono circumstance connected with the events herein narrated which your committee cannot permit to pass unnoticed. Tho testimony herewith submitted discloses this most astounding and shameful fact: On tho mornilig of theday succeeding tho capture of Fort Pillow, the guuboat Silver Cloud, (No. 28), the transport Platte Valley and the gunboat New Era, (No. 7), landed at Fort Pillow, under a flag of truce, for the purpose of relieving the wounded there and burying tho dead. While they were lying there the Rebel General Chalmers and other Rebel officers came down to the landing, and some of them went on the boatr.Notwithstanding tho evidences of Rebel atrocity and barbarity with which tho ground was covered, there wcro somo of our army officers on board the Platte Valley so lost to every feeling of decency, honor nnd self-respect, as to make themselves disgracefully conspicuous in bestowing civilities and attention upon tho Rebel officers, even while they were boasting of the murders they had committed.Your committee were unable to ascertain the names of tho officers who have thus inflicted so foul a stain upon the honor of our army. They are assured, however, by the military authorities, that every effort will be made to ascertain their names, and bring them to the punishment they so richly deserve. In relation to the reinforcement or evacuation of Fort Pillow, it would appear that the troops there stationed were withdrawn ou the 25th of January last in order to accompany tho Meridian expedition under Gen.Sherman.General Hurlbut testifies that he never received any instructions to permanently vacate that post, and deeming it important to occupy it, so that the Rebels should not interrupt the navigation of the Mississippi by planting artillery there, ho sent some troops there about the middle of February, increasing their number afterwards until the garrison amounted to nearly six hundred men. He also states that, as soon as ho learned that tho place, was attacked, ho immediately took measures to send reinforcements from Memphis, and they were actually embarking when he received information of tho capture of the fort.Your committee cannot close this report without expressing their obligations to tho officers of the army and many with whom they wero brought in contact for tho assistance they rendered. It is true your committee were furnished by the Secretary of War with the fullest authority tc call upon any one iu the army forsuch services as they might rcquiro to , , . , - —enable them to make the investigation do- 1. , .rftise 8toel£ should g,vo themvolvcd upou them by Congress.
