"We learn that on Thursday last, two of the dead bodies of LINCOLN's men were found in the woods, in the neighborhood of the Bethel battle ground, in a state of decomposition. They were traced out by means of the buzzards hovering over the spot. One of the corpes had in his haversack a quarter of a baked shoat. It is supposed they had crawled away from the scene of battle after being wounded, and died on the spot on which they were discovered. From their uniforms, it is presumed they were members of the Zouave Regiment. It is said that all along the road from Bethel to Hampton, a most intolerable stench prevails, and that from the appearance of the buzzards circling round about, there must be numbers of putrefying carcasses in the woods."
