THE WIRZ TRIAD.
This progresses, but is much impeded by
the evidently failing health of the prisoner,
who has become haggard, and is obliged to
be treated with short sessions. Indeed, it is
now .seriously apprehended, that his death
will forestall any earthly judgment in his
ease. The testimony is mainly valuable as
displaying more and more the (complicity of
the Rebel government, as such, in the An
dersonville atrocities, thus revealing, as never
before revealed, the character of a. chivalry
which takes its tone from insti
tutions. The evidence, as it progresses, while
still leaving Wirz in the character of an un
qualified demon, produces more'and more
the impression that there are more distin
guished men who might more appropriately
grace the dock of that military tribunals
men who are within reach, and yet seem to
feel no urgency for getting out of the way.
One arrest was made on the 22d
of James W. Duncan, a mere subordinate,
who had ill-treated some of the Andersonville
prisoners. He had been brought bn as a
witness for Wirz, and was arrested in the
court room. Tins, will not pre
vent his testifying when called for.
Among the witnesses on the 21st was J.
. Burns Walker, ,who gave an account of a,
speech delivered by Howell Cobb to a Georgia
regiment in Andersonville, heard by several
of the paroled prisoners, himself among the
number. Referring to the prisoners, he said
he was sorry any of them had been captured, l
and that he should hang every prisoner if
.lie had his own way. He further said: “If
the prisoners come up tb your house to take,
your chickens or your pigs, hang them ; if a
prisoner comes up to your'house to speak; to
'-your women, hang' him;” he then referred
'to'President Lincoln, saying): “ If President
Lincoln ever gets me he will hang me, and if
I ever get President Lincoln 1 will hang
him.” In referring to the conduct of Capt.
Wirz, he safid that he was glad to-find the
state of things around Andersonville to he
isuoh as he did,” and recommended Captain
Wirz as being a very meritorious and efficient
officer, doing his duty, and doing it well. He
said" to the Confederate troops around him,
“Look over into that stockade”—pointing
-his finger directly to it-~.“go look over there,
And compare yourselves with those men, and;
rgo home and kiss your wives and sweethearts,
and Beeifyou'cannotgainyourindependence;”
■he further said, in connection with the grave
. yard and the treatment he would, give, to the
frisoners: “I would treat the prisoners
ere well; I would feed them well; I would
care for them;” his voice, when he said he
; would care for them, assumed- a- stentorian
tone; he spoke, harshly, and as. if with deep
meaning, pointing at the same time With his
’Hand to the graveyard', as if meaning that
sthat would be the care he would give them;
THE INDIAN COUNCIL AT FORT SMITH.
The report, September 19th, was, that the
difference between the loyal' and disloyal
Creeks has been amicably adjusted. The rebel
delegates of the"various tribes are, represent--
ed to have signed the treaty with the Govern
ment with a note ■ appended, claiming non
forfeiture of, lands, annuities, &o. A com
mittee was appointed to confer with the Choc
taws . and Cnickasaws relative to the treaty
for a recognition of the policy of the Govern
ment. The Southern Cherokees submitted,,,
a report, stating that a committee had.Waitecl !,
Mupon -the Northern Cherokee?, to arranges ‘
their differences, and ask them"to recommend
the Cherokee oouziail to_X6Deal their confisca
tion laws, who agreed to lay the -
the council. The same delegation reported
that about 6,000 Cherokees are in the Choe
taw and Chickasaw nation, on Red river, in
destitute eircumstances, and asked the coun
cil for relief. The commission has refused to
recognize, John .Iloss as the chief of the
Cherokee nation? on account of duplicity and
' bad faith; with the Government!?) -< A paper
Jhas been'hubmitited 'by the loyal Cherokee
■ delegation, asking the Government to rescind
their action.
September 20, the commissioners returned
a final answeriq thecase of John Ross, de
clining to rescind ' their action, as they dis
connect his case from that of the loyal Chero
kees. Exclusive "of the chiefs, there are in
"Council:seventy-five loyal and seventy-four,
disloyal delegates who have signed the treaty
■ of peace.
The commission adjourned sine die on the
'2lst The treaty cor eluded upon has for its
parties the United States on the one hand,
and the tribes above mentioned on the other.
It provides for peace acd-friendship between
the Government and the said tribes) promis
ing that they will exert all their influence in
-compelling the Indians of the plains to main
tain peaceful relations, with each other, with
<he Indians of the territory, and with "the
United States; that slavery shall be abol
ished forever; that freedmen shall be suita
bly provided for; that lands shall be issued
to the Indians of Kansas and elsewhere; that
the right of' way shall be granted to railroads;
and that the consolidation of the Indian
tribes, with a territorial form of government,
shall _be recommended by them to their re
spective councils.
Colonel Sells, of the commission, proceeds
immediately to Humboldt, Kansas, to eon-,
elude a treaty with the Osages. . !
In the mean time there is again trouble on
the plains. Reports' have been received at
Fort Laramie from .GeneraL Conner, which
state that he attacked and defeated a force of
Arrapahoes, near Big Horn, on the 28th. ult. 1
He captured one hundred head of cattle and

Gen. Lee Accepts.—lt is stated in; the
Richmond Whig thatGten. Robert E. Lee has
accepted the Presidency of Washington Col
. lege, Va., lately tendered him by the Trus
tees of that Institution. This, of course, in
dicates that he has no intention of taking up
bis residence in a foreign land, as has been
currently reported-fbr some time. In his ■
-letter of acceptance he expresses the follow-'
ving sentiments: “That it is the duty of
-every citizen in the present condition of the
country to do all in his power to aid in the
restoration of peace and harmony, and in no
■way oppose the policy of the State or Gene
ral Government directed. to that object, and
it .is particularly incumbent on those charged
with the instruction of the young to set an
example of submission to authority. 1 ’
- Contesting the Proclamation. —Some
* • -of the ex-slaveholders are very dumb of un
derstanding respecting what has been going
on..the last few years. Major General How
ard, Commissioner of the Ereedmen’s Bureau,
has received a communication from Major
W. D. Sargent, assistant commissioner of
freedmen’s affairs in Arkansas, in relation to
a former slaveholder by the name of Bird,
refusing to recognize the act of emancipation.'
Jt seems that a freedman, a former slave of
this man, had attempted to take away some
property belonging to him,_ from his late mas
ter’s premises, and not; being successful, ap
plied to the freedmen’s bureau for assistance.
An order whs* given him, which'order was
treated with contempt by Bird, who retained
it, and stated that he considered" the* negro
his slave. Bird has been arrested. !

SoOTHERNjCONVEtmoNS.— The State Con
ventions of South Carolina and Alabama are
now in Session. In both proposed ordi
nances for the abolition of slavery are under
discussion. Ih Alabama, the abolition ordi
nance passed Sept. 23, by 89. to 3.
Confiscation has been virtually abandon
ed in Virginia, by order of the.U. S. District
Court meeting in Alexandria, Sept. 25, for
the first time since the, war. Judge Under
wood presided. A fac simile stamp of the
President’s signiture has been procured to
help on the very slow process of pardoning
rebels. :
in regard to a detachment which was sent
out by General Thomas in search of stray
cattle,' to Alabama. - While near Gaylesville,
the squad was attacked, by the sheriff with a
mob of.men. The sheriff said he was acting
under orders of Governor Parsons, of- Ala
bama. One Union soldier was killed, and
nineteen of the sheriff’s party captured. The
sheriff and the murderer of the soldier
escaped. -
-Reconstruction of Louisiana. —It now
appears that the* Washington Government
will not accept the existing civil administra
tion of Louisiana as a valid State government,
but requires a reconstruction on the same ba
sis with other Southern States. For this
purpose the "President has created the pre
sent civil Governor Wells, Provisional, and
elections for a Convention are forthwith to
take place. " "" “
General Terry, has been, constrained to
issue an order putting a stop* to'suits against,

• State of the Crops. —Hon. Isaac New
ton, Commissioner of Agriculture,ihas issued
a statement as to the condition of "the crops
of the country up. to -September Ist The.
substance is that the wheat crop is not gene
rally of a good quality, and the supply of old
wheat on hand not as great as has DeSh sup-'
posed. The oats crop is one of the largest
which the country has ever produced. Hay
in the west, is very much injured-by bad
weather during.harvesting. Corn, the great
est crop yet raised in the loyal States. To
bacco, the quantity planted. much less. -than
last year, but* in good , condition. -/Sorghum
excellent. Buckwheat will be good if frost
holds off. Potatoes will be considerably in
jured by the rot, but, on account of the unu
sually large planting, an average supply may.
be expected. Roots and gardens are pros
perous. A large decrease of fattening hogs
is reported. ' ■-* -- t- 8 '

greatly exaggerated, of expeote'd arrivals from

ing that part of the empire from the British

shows that the Emperor is making extensive;
warlike - preparations. At-Rio.Janeiro the
police were busily engaged 5 in detaining all
suspicious persons found abroad =at night,
and in impressing in the streets and’shops all
Brazilian citizens who could prove that
'they were exempt by law, or belonged to the
National Guard; and it was expected that all
exemptions would be swept away, and all the
exempted classes forced to join the army or
enroll themselves among the National Guards,
as the Emperor had. forwarded orders from
Rio Grande that thirty thousand men must
b.e sent without delay, to reinforce the armies
in the south. Troops continued to arrive
from the north r.nd the interior, and to be for
warded to the island of Santa Catharina, which
is made their depot. The iron-clad Brazil
had arrived from Toulon, but as her draught
is sixteen, to eighteen feet, .she will be of
little service for the present war!

MAERIAGS AMONG THE FIIEEDMEN.
A sudden step from barbarism', enforced by
Christian law, into civilization, requires some
rather singular provisions. Not the least so
are the regulations of Gen. Rufus Saxton, in
an order issued at Beaufort, 5...C.', on the
11th of August: „
First. The 'marriage of all parties living
together Ss husband aiid wife'at 'the time Of
obtaining their freedom, or solemnizcd sincc
obtaining it, will be acknowledged as legal and
binding. .*
Second. All parties whose,carriage was
only a mutual agreement between them
selves, with no public form or_ ceremony, are
required ; to have .their marriage confirmed
by a. minister, and obtain a certificate of the
same, ;
Third! No parties having agreed to enter
the marriage relation will be allowed, to live
together as husband and wife until their mar
riage has been legally solemnized.
• Fourth. All parties claiming to have been 1
married, but separated by slavery, amTliav
ing no certificate of'their 1 marriage';' must
obtain from'some Eociety or'church apermit:
for their reunion, before they will be allowed .
to live together as husband End wife. ■ - i . ..
Fithi A wife,-when restored by .freedom to :
her: husband,, if he be , living,with no. other
wife, shall he received by him ashis lawful
!wife,. except for moral batistes.
Sixth. If a man living without a wife find 1
two wives restored tb him by freedom, the
one 1 having; children by him and the other
not, he, shall take the mother of hisuhildren'
as nis lawful-wife, unless he.show causes, >
Seventh. If a man living without a’wife'
shall refuse to renew the marriage ’relation
with a former wife restored ' by freedom, who
inay 'desirte such renewal, there bein'g: ho
moral or legal objection’ to,the same proven
;by himj he shall be held responsible for the
.support of.such wife, aud.also of all his chil
dren by her-solong as they remain minors!
Eighth, No man,-failing for want of cause
proven to obtain a release from renewing his
marriage relations with’a former wife,:will;be
allowed to marry another woman so long as
such wife may live, or until for just cause she
shall have married another.
Ninth, Every man marrying a woman
haying children shall be responsible for their
protection and support as long as they re
main minors.
Tenth. A husband living with a wife, hav
ing no children by her, may be permitted, to
take a previous wife, provided:
Ist. He have children by such a wife who
are still minors.
2d. That such wife have no other husband
known to be living. ’ ’
3d. That the present wife assent to such’
change of their marriage relations.
Eleventh. If a former wife utterly refuse,
upon application made by the husband to
renew her former marriage relation with him,
he may notify some society or church of the
fact of such refusal, and ask fpr a release from
said wife. If, after due ho.ticp. given “By, such’
society or church to the wife refusing! she
fail to show any moral or legal objections to
the renewal of her former marriage relations
with him, then the society or church acting
in the case shall .grant to the man a release
from all his obligations to her as a husband
and for the support of all his children by her.
The concluding remarks of the general
declare that the “ sacred' institution of mar
riage lies at the very foundation of all civil
society. It should be carefully guarded by
all the agents of this Bureau. It is hoped
these rules. may do something tp correct a
monster evil, which meets us at the very
threshold of our work. ” , r \7_ s

IS NOW-READY.
THE “SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK’’ is an
endeavor to give,'in a' volume of moderate size, the
(best-hymnsandthebeat tones. ; * ;
. i The .Tunes, carefully selected and carefully adapted
to the hymnB, are fitted, f it is believed, both to express
the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in_pious
"bVartsV the' flame of devotion. They are old Himes
chiefly, with such-approved' new ones as the Church
,willnotletdie. :'
The Tenor and .have been given.on separate
stares, at some exnense ; of space’ and cost.vhut to
many singers this arrangement irili prove helpful and
acceptable. ”
/While the collection fa primarily designed for social
worship, it is well suited to /the Use of the family and
congregation. ', i . ,
ThejVew York Observer sayslt appears to us to,
be to its purpose.. . Many
first-rate tunes, arranged and printed so as to be
easily used. It will be a most acceptable book in fam
ilies, mission ohurches, and, if our was the rule,
it would be used in Sabbath-schools.”
~ The ‘Evangelist says“ The Publication Committee
of our Church have just issued a volume which we ap
prehend is destined to become highly popular among
our churches. It is entitled, ' Social Hymn and Tune
Book,’ and is designed for the lecture-room, prayer
meeting, family-circle, and mission church. It is one
of the neatest and most tasteiul volumes of the kind,
which we have ever met with. Although a 16mo 'of
512 pages, it is by-no means bulky, while the print is
clear and distinct, and sufficiently large for common
use. Most of the hymns are from the .Church Psalm
ist, and by means of the index with its references,
every hymn can be identified in the two books. The
tunes and hymns are arranged throughout the vol
ume on alternate pages, so as to suit the convenience
of a promiscuous congregation, and enable them to
join intelligently in their songs of praise.”
The American " Presbyterian says:—“ This Hymn
Book is really charming in its propriety and good
taste as an article of manufacture. . '.. . In the
Hymns given, we find those, that- are. loved in the

PRINCIPAL.
This Seminary hash* en in successful operation for
several years at No. 1530 Arch street. A new locality
has beenselected, not only because it is more central
in its, relations to the most densely populated portions
of the city, but also because theaohool-rooms are un
usually large and airy, and admirably adapted to the
purpose to which they are designed.
To the present and-former patrons of the school it is
needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who
desir etoSend their daughters to a first-class’iiißtitu
;tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this
school is to educate, in the only true sense.' To secure
this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all .the branches
pursued, so that ike scholar may understand the
principle involved m every investigation.
The classes are- arranged in three departments
Primary, Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa
rate and ample accommodationsfor primary pupils, as
well as for those belonging to the higher departments.
All the departments are Subject to the Same discipline
and general supervision.
