Suspicions of the contents of some of the graves found in the
vicinity of Corinth, caused an investigation and exhuming of the
deposits. Neatly made graves, with necessary head and foot boards,
bearing the names of colonels and majors were visited, and the loose
earth covering them was ordered to be removed, when, on arriving to
the depth of four feet, a solid substance was struck, which upon
clearing the earth around, was found to be contraband Secesh, in
the shape of siege guns. One grave with the head-board designated
as “Colonel somebody,” was found to contain a 64 pounder siege gun.
“Quite a heavy colonel that.” Others were found, but in what number
I have not learned. Some have been found buried in the swamps beyond
Corinth.—_Correspondent Cincinnati Times._
