trial of wirz.
The taking of the testimony in this case
still continues. The week has furnished a
little episode in the affair consisting in the
publishing of a letter from the prisoner to the
editor of the New York News, in. which he
addresses him as a known “friend of the
down-trodden South,” and appeals to him
for sympathy towards himself, “innocently
about to be sacrificed.” He relates his ser
vices and sufferings for the Confederate cause,
repeats the exploded allegation that he was
arrested in violation of a safe conduct, Says
that he is helpless, his good name and life
are in peril, but his conscience is clear. He
asks from his Northern friends contributions
of money to enable him to carry on a vigor
ous defence. He further asserts that the
sufferings of our prisoners were not inflicted
by him—that they were unavoidable —that
the rebel government could not give them
more food, or better shelter, or more kindly
treatment than it did.
Our last brief account of the trial dosed
with August 28, at the close of which day his
counsel, Messrs. Baker and Schade, as then
stated, again abandoned him. On the morn
ing of the 29th they returned, and once more
resumed the management of the defence. On
that day, Dr. J. G. Kay was examined in re
lation to the condition of the prison at An
dersonville, and Dr. B. A. Vanderkieft con
cerning the appearance of released prisoners
on' reaching Annapolis. The testimony of
both witnesses was confirmatory of the ac
counts heretofore extensively published.
Martin E. Hogan, an Andersonville prisoner,
was also examined.. The following particu
lars are a sufficient comment upon the letter
of this man of a clear conscience, ‘ ‘ innocently
about to be sacrificed. ’ ’ Hogan testified that
the men were in a miserable condition, as bad
as possibly could be; the men were so thick
they could scarcely elbow their way; some
lay in their own filth calling for water and
crying for food, but no attention was paid to
them; he also testified to other circumstances
attending the prison, showing the miserable
quality of the food and its injurious effects —
such as half-baked corn bread, which was
sour; the beef when it was furnished being
of an inferior quality; men afflicted with
scurvy would crawl upon the ground; the
sight was horrible; very many were insuffi
ciently clad, and, having no shelter, burrowed
in the ground; as to hounds, he was brought
back to prison through their agency-; he had
seen Captain Wirz with hounds trying to
strike the trail of an escaped prisoner; for
atrempting to escape from prison about the
Bth of October, 1864, after the most obscene
abuse from Captain Wirz, be was fastened by
the neck and feet, and remained there sixty
eight hours; he heard Captain Wirz give
orders that he should not have food, hut he
did obtain food from paroled comrades who
stole it for him; when the prisoners were
being removed from Andersonville to Millen,
the witness saw Captain Wirz take a man.by
the collar because he could not walk faster ;
the man was so worn by disease that he could
not; throwing the man on his back, he
stamped upon nim with his feet; he saw the
man bleeding, and he died a short time after
wards ; in the dissecting room he saw stu
dents, in pursuit of knowledge, sawing open
the pocriea. —trontnx-K-eyserf-anCtuci-pri-
soner, was also examined, and, among other
particulars, that in April, or May, 1864, sup
plies were received from the North, and some
mouldy cake or bread was thrown over the
dead fine; one man reached beyond the line
for a piece of this bread, when the guard shot
him through the head; witness saw another
man after he had been shot in the abdomen;
he had seen men in the chain-gang with iron
collars round their necks; some of them were
thus punished for_ attempting to escape; he
had seen men bucked by Captain Wirz’s or
ders ; witness had seen General Winder at
the prison, when a number of the prisoners
rushed to see him, and Winder told them to
stand back, and gave orders to the guard to
fire on those who approached the gate nearer
than fifteen feet.
On the 30th some discussion was had re
specting the prisoner’s having been kept
handcuffed, when it appeared that it was
done as a security against suicide, his own
counsel having suggested that he meditated
such an escape from his present position. It
was, however, understood that the handcuffs
could now be dispensed with. Several more
witnesses were examined. Proof was given
that under orders from General Winder, Wirz
had full command of the prison. Poston
Corbett, the soldier from whom the assassin
Booth received his death wound, and who
was at one time a prisoner at Andersonville,
was again on the stand, One question asked
him was—“ You say that, on one occasion,
when you lay concealed, one of the hounds
rubbed against your nose: why did he not
bite you?” Characteristically he replied—
“ The power that kept the lions from tearing
Daniel in pieces, is the same in whom I
trust.” In relation to the alleged inability
of procuring food for the prisoners, James
4£aJL_Valkenburgh, a resident near Macon,
trAil tbit
more than an average. He
tor the last two or three years, the supplies
tor the army in Georgia were plentiful He
had seen large piles of government flour in
Macon. The latter place is sixty-five miles
irom Andersonville.
The court was not in session the 31st.
. September 1. Six witnesses were exam
med—a!l rebel soldiers or residents in the
the bouth, and most of them having a per
sonal knowledge of the condition of the pri
sony.. The all admitted its»fiith, and one of
the witnesses who had been a guard often
times over the prisoners, said that the stench
in the stockade always made him sick when
he was on duty. Nobody had seen Wirz
shoM anybody, although all knew of his
haying sent dogs after prisoners escaping,
prisoners were sometimes bitten by these
dogs, “who Were neither large nor savage ”
bemg. plantation dogs only. Wirz seemed
dissatisfied, many times wishing himself and
an the prisoners were together in a very un
comfortable place. Judge Hall, of Georgia
tha't B te^ n mileS f [ oin Andersonville? fafd
that Winder once endeavored to enlarge the
prison, but gave up the task because he could
not procure sufficient timber and labor. This
was Winder s information to the witness.
Winder remarking ln addition, that he had
impressed all the saw-nulls for the unsuccess
ful attempt. Judge Hall had once been
asked by Winder to rent two houses in Ole
thorpe, for the Andersonville sick, but could
not.
Concerning this last assertion, the N. T.
Times appropriately remarks:—“This is just
what the present trial is to test. If Wirz
merely obeyed his orders, and was holding
his position, as he asserts, under duress, that
tact will appear—and then those who gave
him the orders for what he did can be held
responsible. And if the rebel government
was compelled to expose its own troops in the
same way, and to feed them in the same way,
and to kiu them in the same way, the fact
can be proved before the tribunal at Whose
bar Wirz is arraigned.”
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER T, 1865,
miscellaneous.
Moke Villi anous Frauds Unearthed.
—The Press has the following account of a
wholesale plunder of soldiers in Norfolk, by
charging an enormous per centage on the
Government paper in which they were paid.
Colonel Binney, a paymaster, who had charge
of the Norfolk District, took down with him
eight millions in treasury checks, and ar
ranged with the President of the National
Bank of Norfolk, Virginia, one called a seces
sionist, to give seven-thirty bonds and legal
tender notes for these checks, and to divide
the per centage allowed to those who put the
bonds in circulation. Other paymasters,
suspecting them, demanded a share of plun
der. In one single month over one hundred
thousand dollars was paid by the Norfolk
Bank to different paymasters. Binney re
ceived thirteen thousand dollars, and'Majors
Palisifer and Howell, and others, an average
of one thousand dollars each. The cashier
has made a statement, and some of the guilty
parties have confessed. These discoveries
have been made within the past four days,
under the direction of General L. G. Baker.
When soldiers attempted to make purchases
with these bonds, they were charged a dis
count by merchants in league with the bank
and paymasters. The aggregate gains of
parties must have been enormous. What
will be done with the bank officers and pay
masters has not been decided.
Death of Governor John Brough.—
The State of Ohio has suffered a severe
calamity by the death of its able, high-minded
and honest Governor, John Brough. He
died at Cleveland, on the 29th ultimo, after
an illness, which had for some days been re
garded as hopeless. He was a man of great
moral worth.
North Carolina. —A Raleigh letter of
August 29 says: —Lieutent A. W. Hahn, on
special duty of an important character in the
Department of Virginia, has arrived here
from a trip through the northeastern portion
of this State, where there is no military force.
He reports that three negroes were shot in
Northampton the other day by the Home
Guards, or County Police, for refusing to re
turn to their masters after accepting of em
ployment elsewhere; that the people refuse
to recognize the freedom of the blacks, who
are whipped and tortured in the most fiend
ish manner for even expressing a desire to
be free’, and that shooting and killing these
creatures appears to be the order of the day.
He also states that a Union man, in Hertford
County, employed a colored girl for a family
servant, without having first consulted her
former master, who visited the Union man’s
house with a loaded gun, with the view of
killing him for this offence, as the wages
were to be paid to the girl instead of the
master. The Union man, who has been an
officer in the Federal service, was obliged to
fly for his life, for the rebel sympathizers
took sides with the master.
Spiritualism Legally Pronounced
Sleight-of-hand. —The great question in
Buffalo before the United States District
Court, whether spiritualism, was sleight-of
hand or supernatural manifestations, has
been decided at last. The jury have unani
mously come to a verdict that all the table
tippings, conversations had with spirits’
through table legs, the reading blindfold of
the contents of folded writings, all the tyings
and untyings of mediums in boxes, the blow
ing of trumpets, and the peregrinations in
the dark of spiritual tamborifies and guitars,
are merely tricks of jugglery and experiments
of sleight-of-hand, and therefore the perfor
mers of them must take out a license to prae
Andrew made his recent visit "£o~Freetbwn,
on a Sabbath, the clergyman who was con
ducting the services, upon being told that
the Governor would address the congrega
tion, announced the fact as follows: —
“ Brethren, I have to inform you that when
the religious services are concluded, Governor
Andrew will make an address. ’ ’
The lowa liquor dealers held a convention
in Des Moines, August 23d, and declared
theirs to be a legitimate business, represent
ing a capital of $1,000,000, and entitled to
protection under the State laws. They re
gard the prohibitory law as “an act of usur-
Etion and an infringement of the rights and
erties of the people, inconsistent with the
spirit of the Constitution of the United
States, and opposed to the best interests of
the inhabitants of the State.”
A PEW days since, near Prescott, _C. W., a
cow attempted to butt a railway train off. the
track, and succeeded. The locomotive and
all the cars were thrown off, and some of
them, with the engine, fell down the em
bankment. There was plenty of beef after
the collision, but not much Cow.
FIBfANCIAIi.
The Public Debt. —Secretary McCullough
has made his monthly statement of the debt,
August 31. The increase in the month was
less than $500,000 ; the interest on the whole
was diminished nearly $231,000. Nearly
$45,500,000 in coin, and nearly $43,000,000 in
currency, are held by the Treasury. As
much as four and a Half millions of dollars
internal revenue has been received in a single
day.
FOREIGN.
Europe.—Liverpool dates are to August
wlO.»jy.atters between Austria and Prussia
rest, unless this term can be applied to the
affairs of the Atlantic cable. It was not yet
known whether the Great Eastern would be
be at once despatched with strong ropes and
grapnels to fish up the severed part. Con
cerning the future of the enterprise, the
Times says :—“ The experience of the expe
dition is full of encouragement for the future ■
the only discouraging circumstance is the
apparent inability of the electricians to dis
cover serious faults in the cable before it is
payed over the side of the ship. The delav
for another year will not be thrown away if it
enables them to devise better tests of excel-
Jence of the cable before it is submerged.
-Lnough, whether they do so or not, we must
believe the possibility of an Atlantic Tele
graph established, and look forward to the
day as certain, even if distant, when England
“ d „ A “ eril g will throb with one pulse of
life. The Baily News is still more sanguine.
It says that although the facts warrant dis
appointment, they do not cause dismay, but
on the contrary, point to ultimate success;
and assuming that the three companies in
terested can make the necessary arrangements
at once, it is even now not impossible that
attempts at telegraphic communication with
America may be commenced before autumn
ha spassed.”
t w M I 6RA “ ON -T Tile rls .k Papers report
it* I s n 0 abatement in the exodus, and
that Cork is crowded with men, women and
children, determined on a voyage across the
Atlantic. A London paper says: “The emi
gration movement has commenced in earnest
“ al . and f lron districts of South Wales,
l ’ i i n ° from the number that have
already left, and are preparing to leave, there
is every probability that thousands of Welsh
colliers and iron-workers willlocate themselves
on the other side of the Atlantic before the
year is over. Nearly all that leave go out
under the auspices of the American Emigrant
bociety; who simply guarantee a free passage
to JNew York, and then the emigrants must
do the best they can for themselves.” A
correspondent in the county of Kerry states
that the emigration from Ireland this year is
likely to exceed that of any past year since
the famine; The persons leaving the country
are all able bodied, and comfortably clad.
Later. —Advices to the 23d are received.
Concerning the arrangements resulting from
the German conference, we have the follow
ing particulars:—Prussia gets Lauenburg,
paying Austria a pecuniary indemnity. Prus
sia rules Schleswig and Austria. Holstein,
until the future of the Dutchess is decided.
Kiel harbor is to be occupied by Prussia, al
though in Holstein, Prussia will propose to
the Diet the construction of a German fleet.
Alexandrian news is to the effect that the
Suez canal floodgates have been opened, and
a vessel laden with coal passed direct from
the Mediterranean to the Red Sea on the
15th of August.
The cholera is disappearing at Constanti
nople, Gibraltar, Barcelona, and Valencia.
The only English items noticable are that
the Atlantic Telegraph Company has resolved
to lay a new cable in June next, and pick up
tbe old one afterward, also, that the late
rebel agent and would-be ambassador in Lon
don, Mason, writing to the Times, says that
orders were immediately forwarded to stop
the Shenandoah’s cruise, on the termination
of the war.
Hayti. —The news is again gloomy for the
Government. Cape Haytien intelligence of
August 22, says that the rebels had taken
Fort St. Michel, on the opposite side of the
harbor, by surprise at night, causing the
tro.ops of President Geffrard to evacuate
Petite Anse, and to stop the bombardment'
of the town. The white inhabitants of the
Cape were in a very unsafe position, being
obliged to keep within doors, and being sub
ject to constant threats by the mob, composed
mostly of women armed with knives tied on
the ends of bamboo poles. The rebels had
enticed three of Geffrard’s officers from the
American Consul’s house, and shot them in
cold blood. It is added that the rebels are
determined to hold out, and the Government
forces are reduced to a small number by
deaths and desertion.
ITEMS.
There are 11,851 Indians residing within
the limits of the State of Michigan. The
total number in the United States is estima
ted at 314,622. Notwithstanding the fre
quency of robberies and murders on the
Texas frontier, the people of the interior are
said to he getting along well enough, and in
six counties haVe already publicly submitted
to the Union. The condition of the freed
men is satisfactory’ They are rapidly adapt
ing themselves, we suppose, to their gw life.
The debt of Canada is $78,000,000.
By proclamation the President has removed
the trade restrictions on artides heretofore ex-,
cepted.——Mr. Hieskell, Speaker of the Ten
nessee House of Representatives, has been in
vited to resign, by a meeting of citizens .at
Knoxville, for his opposition to the franchise
bill. Advices from tbe Mexican border
say that on the Rio Grande our Generals
and those of Maximillian are hobnobbing
together, and toasting each other in true
convivial style. Our Generals are reported
as expressing friendship for the empire.-
The New Jersey Democrats have nominated
for Governor, Gen. Runyon, of Essex County.
A terrible railroad collision took, place on
the Long Island Railroad, near Jamaica, L. I.
on the 28th ult., by which several persons

lous. He publishes, through the N. Y. News,
that on his return from Europe, Messrs.
Raymond and Weed must give him the
satisfaction due between gentlemen for mali
cious insults, or, in his proposed Peace His
tory of the Civil* War, be branded befoije
posterity as national cowards. He does not
howeyer say what he means by the term

Treasury represents that department to be in
an easy condition as to funds. —■—The M

impracticable by a party who attempted if,
suffering great hardships and losing three If

which he had lost nearly all his property ;
that he advocated the cause of secession be

acknowledged that both it and he were wrong;
and that, under these circumstances, he had,

Brown spoke briefly of the duty of cordially

A New Child’s- Paper.—We have re
ceived two copies of “ Ihe ldttle Corporal, ”
a monthly paper for-children, the publication
or winch has been cominenbed at Chicago,

TESTIMONIALS.
From Major-General Garfield, M. G.
Hiram, Ohio. March 20,1865.
Having learned that E. Clarence Smith is about to
establish an English and Classical School for boys, in
the city of Philadelphia, I desire to say that Mr.
Smith was a classmate of mine in college; and was
