During Col. ?Jaqtles s stay in Richmond lie visited the prisoners at tlie Libbv and Relle Isle. He was very agreeably disappointed to find our nu n comfortably situated, and as well cared for as w.w? possible under the circumstances. Desperate eases of our wounded are retained in the hospitals of Richmond. Oar brave boys * were bearing up cheerfully under their sufferings, and were receiving all needful attention, and everything possible was being done for their recovery, by surgeons ana attendants. I his will be cheering news lor many anxious friends throughout the North. As might l>e supposed, Richmond only suggests thoughts of war. Its streets are almost deserted. Women, cripples and soldiers alone give life to the thoroughfares of the rebel capital. Many stores are, however, kept open, and there is some business but nothing in comparison to the activity before the war.? Everything looks warlike, and everybody intent on the great struggle now in progress. Colonel Jaques, during his visits ; had several interviews with Judah P. ! Benjamin, Seer, tary of State, Mr. Ould, I the Commissioner of Exchange, and with other rebe^ dignitaries and authorities.? From them all he received the kindest attention. As he took his leave of Davis last Monday, Davis took Col. Jaques's; hand in his, pressed them warmly and cordially, and said that leaving out of view the present struggle, that lie had the1 highest respect for the Colonel's charaea u,..? n. rv.i auu limiuii v/n jiuuikm v\u? . Jftques and Ins companions returned to Grant's headquai ters, and eontinuedl their journey to this city. It is under-! stood that Col. Jaques will soon publish an official account of his visit, ;?nd the! object connected with it. and whatever' may be thought of the Colonel's proposed means of conciliation, there call be no doubt either of his honesty or loyalty. ! The Dead Picket.?On the field, yesterday, on the left, near Tilton, where i our cavalry engaged the enemy, a beautiful garden, clothed in all the loveliness1 that rare plants and Southern flowers could give it, attracted my attention, and i ] was drawn to it. The house had been j deserted by its owners, and the smiling magnolias and the roses seemed to stand gnard over the deserted premises. I entered through an open gate, stopped to pluck a rose from the bush, when 1 discovered one of the enemy's pickets, lying partially covered by the grass and bushes, dead. He was a noble looking man, and upon his countenance there seemed to rest the remnant of a smile. The right hand clasped a rose, which he was in the act of severing from its stem when he re-1 ceived the messenger of death. In the i afternoon the cavalry dug a narrow grave, and with Federal soldiers lor pall beared and the beautiful tlowers for mourners, lie was laid to rest, the rose still clasped in his stiffened hand. Nothing was found to identify him, and in that lonely grave his life's history lies entombed. No sister's tears will baptise' the grave among the roses, where the re- i 1^1 f1 v? rfnm _ i UC1 ]Mb&ClllCU- Villi VM.II.
