THE WIRE TRIAL.
The trial was resumed on Tuesday, Sept
26th.
John B. Jones testified that he had been a
clerk in the rebel War Department; with re
gard to General Winder, that officer was very
unpopular ; efforts were made to remove him,
but unsuccessfully.; he did not know whose
particular favorite General Winder was; the
latter frequently went to President Davis' and
Secretary Benjamin's offices;
as there was a
clamor for Winder's removal as Provost Mar
shal, and as Winder was not removed, the
Presumption was that he was sustained by
resident Davis.
The counsel for defence were then asked to
call their witnesses, and answered that they
were not prepared. Colonel Chipman com
plained that the counsel for the prisoner, Mr.
Schad% had carried letters to and from the
prisoner. The court asked Mr. Schade, to give
them a letter which Wirz had just hinded to
him. The court also complained that Mr.
&shade gave him money. The counsel ex
plained that they wished to furnish Wirz with
better food.
The two Catholic, priests, Hamilton and
Whelan, who were engaged in their spiritual
capacity atnong the Andersonville prisoners,
testified that Captain Wirz was doing every
thing in his power to promote the physical
and spiritual comfort of the prisoners. Also
that they did not know of Captain Wirz com
mitting personal violence. On being cross
questioned, one of them said that he did not
_know whether spoiled meat was distributed,
as he was too muckengaged in looking after
the souls of the prisoners.
The rebel Colonel Fannin testified that
Wirz could not punish or reward the guards
'for anything they had done.
September 27. Colonel Fannin's examina
tion was continued. The counsel for the pri
soner wished to ask a question about Howell
Cobb's smell, which the court required to'
be put in writing. The court was cleared, and
:the questibn was not pressed by the counsel.
:• A communion from Captain West, Super
intendent of the Old Capital Prison, was re
ceived, showing that Wirz was leniently
-treated there. The court warned Mr. Schade
against passing letters to and from the pri
soner.
Witnesses for the defence were called, being
'persons in the' rebel service, who testified
that there was - much complaint in North Car
olina and elsewhere about impure -virus for
September 28. Colonel Parsons, a fbrmer
, commandant of rndersonville, was further
examined to-day', before the Wirz Commis
•sion. said he distributed some of the
boxes sent by the Sanitary Commission to the
prisoners; vegetables were scarce, as the coun- ,
try was poor ; he did not know of sentries
being relieved after shooting the prisoners ;
some shelter might have been built for the
prisoners, but was not, and he thought the
Quartermaster's Department was to blame
for it ; Wirz drew-up all the rules and regu
lations, and witness signed them; the dead
line was afterwards established by Wirz on
his own responsibility ; the prison was not
half oared for, but the witness thought the
Person who crowded the prisoners in was to
blame for this. A Lazarus Allen never
heard that the guard received furloughs for
shooting the prisoners ; - he never saw any
man die from starvation. The witness then
gave as his opinion that he believed the
guard wore clothing taken from the Union
prisoners ; but the court told him they did
not want any opinions, after which they ad
journed.
September 24.—Captain Wright, rebel
uartermaster, at Andersonville, for the
KreeP l ie' t E n toP f
o n rep y to
questions -by prisoner's counsel, could not
think of any acts on the part of Wirz to
ameliorate the condition of the prisoners.
Wirz permitted Masonic honors to a deceased
prisoner. Cross-examined, he said he had
no personal knowledge of what Captain Wirz
did in the stockade, but outside of the stock
.ade he knew that the accused put prisoners
in the stocks and chain-gang ; Turner, who
had charge of the dogs, told the witness that
'Captain Wirz had promised him thirty dol
lars apiece for capturing prisoners.
'Judge Hall, of Geogta, had been a witness
for the Government,. - now was called for de
fence. His testimony was immaterial. He
,said the chief value of the land in the neigh
borhood of Andersonville, was for its timber.
Admitted himself an out and out secessionist
to the close of the rebellion ,• also, that he
was a sort of kitchen counsellor to the pri
soner, answering questions and pointing out
authories to Baker.
Gene Pals Lee, Howell Cobb, and Johnston,
ex-Governor Brown, and Commissioner Ould
- have been summond by the defence.
SOIITHEEN STATE CONVENTIONS.
. . ALABAMA. —After an exciting debate, the
ordinance of secession was declared null and
void, September 26, The Alabama State
Convention has declared against negro suff
rage, having passed an ordinance that the
number of white men shall be the basis of
representation. They also passed an ordi
nance providing that all debts created by the
State of Alabama in aid of the late war, di
rectly or indirectly, are declared void, and
that the General Assembly of the State shall
have no authority to ratify or assume to •pro
vide for their payment. The convention also
decided to submit the amendments to the
constitution to a popularvote. The following
.telegram was received Oct. let, at the. Free
d Bureau showing the hearty co-opera
tion of the civil authorities of that State with
the 46e:ere of the -.Freectinente-Btm,eu
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 29, 1865.—Major-
General Howard—General:—The Conven
tion, to-day, by a vete of fifty nine to sixteen,
required the judicial officers and magistrates
of this State, to continue to act as agents of
this Bureau for the administration of justice
under the regulations leretofore issued from
this office, and republished by Governor Par
sons, until other legal provision is made.
W. SWAYNE,
Brig.-Gen. and Assistant Commissioner.
SOUTH CAROLINA. —On the third day of
'convention, September 15th, the ordinance
, of secession was repealed by a vote of 105
against 3. The repeal was received in silence
—strikingly suggestive when one remembered
with what dramatic applause the ordinance
of secession was proclaimed passed.
A committee was appointed to memorialize
the President in behalf of Davis, Stephens,
Nlagrath, and Trenholm.
On the 19th, it was resolved that slavery
having been abolished by the United States
authorities,. it is forever prohibited. A dis
patch has since been received by the Presi
dent announcing the following action by the
South Carolina Convention
Columbia, S. C., Thursday, Sept. 28.
The convention is adjourned after u: most har
monious arid unanimous session of 'fifteen
days. They have repealed the ordinance of
secession, abolished slavery, equalized the re
presentation of the Senate and taxation
throughout the State, giving the election of
Governor and Presidential electors to the
people, ordered voting in the Legislature by
viva voce, indorsed the Administration unani
mously, and directed a commission to submit a
code to the Legislature for the protection of
the colored population.
A son of ex-Senator Hammond offered the
following,resolutions.—
Resolve 4. That the Union is the first and
paramount - Consideration of the American
people.
• Resolved, That sovereignty, a unit absolute
and indivisible, which, in all nations, must
exist somewhere, resides in the American
poople, and its authorized representative
within the limits of the organic law—the
Constitution—is the Federal Government.
GEORGIA. —The Convention has unani
mously declared the act of secession null and
void.
THE STATES.
Nzw YORIC—The Mayor and other officials
of New York city, have been held to answer
on charges of mal-feasance in office, before
the Governor of the State. 1:
CoNNEcncirr voted, October 2, agains
giving:the colored citizens the right of suff
rage.
CommDo has indorsed the. new State
constitution by an overwhelming vote. All
that is now required is an act of Congress
admitting the new State into the Union.
VIRGINIA.—GeneraI Curtis has forbidden
a meeting at Lynchburg, in behalf of Jeff
Davis.—Judge Underwood, of the United
Statei District Court at Alexandria, refused
to admit. to practice, Francis L. Smith,-a for
mer member of the bar, because he could not
take the required oath, that he had never
aided the rebellion. This case decides a
number of apktlications, in which the same
reasons are assigned, for admission. —The
President has replied by the. Attorney Gen
eral, to some Virginians, who inquired whether
the test oath will probably be repealed or
modified so as to admit Southern members,
that "he has no means of knowing, what,
Congress may do in regard to the oath, about
which they jnqiiire. than any other citizen ;
but it is las,earnest wish that, loyal and
,true
men, to whom no objections, can be made,
should be elected to Congress." This, Mr.
Speed says, is - not an officialletter, but a sim
ple expression of individual opinion and wish.
Those candidates for Congress in Virginia,
who cannot take the test oath, are withdraw
ing from the canvass. Among those who
have already done so, is Dr. Woods, of the
Sixth district.
TEXAS.—Late Houston pa,pers report a
public meeting it Hemstead; Texas, in which
three of the richest counties of the State were
represented. Resolutions were passed ac
cepting the situation, expressing an earnest
desire to co-dperate in the President's and
Governor's plans for the reorganization of
the State, urging the people to qualify
themselves as voters, and soliciting the Gov
ernor to call-a convention a for the restoration
of civil authmity at the earliest practical pe
riod.
MISSISSIPPL —Governor Sharkey, of Mis
sissippi, has issued a proclamation, accepting
the proposition of Colonel Thomas, transfer
ring the right to try cases, involving the
rights of freedmen for the Freedfuen's Bureau
to the civil courts, provided that no distinc
tion shall be mide in the administration of
justice on account of color..
A3KANSAS.—Thee archives of the State of
Arkansas, including the rebel records, which
were carried off when the United Siates
forces occupied Little Rock, have been fo'und

west part of the State and are now back
again in the capital. They were in a very
damaged condition.
TENNESSEE GUERILLAS.--A band of thirty
or forty guerillas is committing horrible
atrocities in Robertson County, Tennessee.
Indiscriminate murder, arson and robbery

THE PARDON itIISINESS
In the pardon office a large rack twelve feet
high and eight wide has been erected, which
is divided into longitudinal sections running
the whole length, each section containing the
pardon applications from each State in pro
cess of passing examination. Virginia, of
course, takes the lead, her pile being over ten
feet high, and containing over three thousand
applications. Alabama follows with a pile of
fifteen hundred, upon which the dust is ac
cumulating, as the President is awaiting the
action of the Alabama State Convention.
Georgia is next in order, with a pile about
four feet high, containing twelve hundred ap
plications. Mississippi and North Carolina
are about the same, seven hundred each.
South Carolina has at least five hundred,
Tennessee three hundred, Kentucky, Louis
iana, and Texas abont one hundred and fifty
each, while Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, and
Western Virginia are very moderate on the
subject, and present but a score or two of ap
plications. Altog . ether, there are at least ten
thousand applications in the Attorney Gene
ral's office.—The President granted nearly
fifteen hundred pardons• in three days last
week. Among them are Ex-Senator Badger,
of North Carolina ; Ex-Congressman Mc
.Queen, of South Carolina, and Duncan Mc-
Rea, formerly colonel in the rebel army, and
afterward cotton agent in Europe.
MISCELLANEOUS
REBUKES OP THE REBELLIOUS SPIRIT.-
Bishop Wilmer, of the Episcopal Church,
Alabama, having some time ago forbidden
his clergy to pray for the President, while
Alabama was occupied by a military force,
General Thomas has forbidden him and his
clergy to officiate, and has ordered their
churches closed until the prayer is resumed

ARCTIC ExpLoRATIoN. —By a whaling ves
sel arrived at New London from the Arctic
Ocean, the Journal of Commerce has advises
from Capt. C. LE. Hall, the explorer, who
left the United States in 1864, under 'the pat
.
ronage of Henry Grinnell, Esq., of this city.
Mr. Hall's letters were expressed 150 miles
over the ice by dog-sledges to reach the open
sea. He writes in good spirits, having ob
tained much valuable information in regard
to the Franklin Expedition. Mr. Hall ex
pects to spend most of his time in Kind Wil
liam's Land and on the Boothia Felix .Venin
sula, and desires that a vessel shall be sent in
the Spring of 1867 to bring him home. Three
years spent as proposed in the huts of the Es
quimaux, with good native interpreters who
accompany Mr. Hall in his wanderings, ought
to be sufficient to clear up all mystery respect
ing the lost navigator. Mr. Hall's letter is
'dated Snow House, on the Coast Line of
Roe's Welcome, lat. 64 46 N., lon. 87 29 W.,
Dec. 10th. Capt. Hall feels certain that he
has traced out evidence to show definitely
that Capt. Richard Crozier, who command
ed Franklin's tecond ship, the Terror, and
three other men,- were in communication
with the natives, and that Crozier's life was
saved by the judiciops nursing of a native.
This native says Crozier was almost starved,
but the other men were fat and stron, they
having eaten human flesh, which Orozitr
would not do. It would seem that these men
lived for a ling time with the natives on

of this. Hof, as it shims on the ok-steeg,
and as it looks ~fiom the garden, h its re
lation to the Peter's Church, near hick' it
stands. (3.) We measured—after so e hours'
of search in Leyden for an Engliih Cot-rule,
which we had carelessly neglected bring—
, and accurately determined, on the k-steeg,
156 feet west of the Heeren-steeg, th eastcor
ner of the front of the property ned by
Robinson and used by him and his ople for
their Sabbath assemblies while t y lived
here (at least from 1611), with the est cor
ner, 25 feet 6 inches toward the R enburg,
settling it that the house which • owned
corresponds almost exactly with o t e central
building of the Pesyn's with the
entrance door, and the chalubdr over it.
(4) We obtained permission/of the proper
authorities to insert in the fiont wall "of this
Pesyn's Hof, in a suitable place' under the
west window, a small stone of memorial; and,
through the kindness of Prof: Pluyges;:,-who'
was good enough to charge himself witli''the
labor of seeing the work properly done . ' and
the stone in its place, we engaged the a:Ceoat
plishment of that work, so that eVe'ry
who shall henceforth visit Leyden from
America, as well as all travellers thither, and
the common Leyden populace, may be re
minded of something sacred to so many in
that venerated spot. After considerable
thought, guided partly by our desire for sith
plicity, and partly by the requisitions of the
space readily, at bur disposal, and partly by
our feeling that a large and worthy mural tab
let should, before many years, be erected on
the inner wall of St. Peters, where he lies
ERIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5. 1865.
buried, with an inscription doing some justice
to his glorious memory, and going into some
particulars of his history, we decided on the
following, which, before this reaches you,
will be in its place—namely :
S ON THIS SPOT
lived, taught and died,
JOHN ROBINSON.
We intend this merely as an index-finger,
pointing secarely to the spot, and preserv
ing its memory in the minds of all, as
identified with him and his work.
.
We feel that it is very desirable, indeed,
that, before many years, a funeral monument,
of a character to take worthy place by the
side of those with which the church is already
so full, should be erected on the walls of St.
Peters ; and should carry, in Latin, Dutch,
and English, the story of what he was and
what he did. We have made some inquiry
in that direction, and have satisfied ourselves
that there will be, not only no difficulty in re
ceiving, permission from the proper authori
ties to erect such a monument,' but a hearty
co-operatioii„on their part, towards such an
endeavor. We hope that ten years will not
pass away, before a suitable position in these
inner towering walls (we have in. our own'
minds fixed upon one as very eligible and
probably easy to be obtained). will be occupied
by aroperly ornamented slab, costing at
least ($1,000) one thousand dollars, and call
ing the attention of the continental world to
the consideration of the hallowed dust that
sleeps somewhere beneath these spacious
aisles. (5) We have thoroughly reconnoiter
ed all the halls of record here, and have not
only compared all the, transcripts which 'we
before had with their originals, in the various
archives (inaking some important corrections),
but have been able to get some new and very
important light upon some of the most per
plexing of the many qupstions which center
in the Leyden residence of the Plymouth, men.
It is really wonderful how perfect the Dutch
sytem of record, in many aspects, is; and it
gives one' a sense of antiquity which is novel
and thrilling, to look up, in the rich archives
of the Stadt-huis, and see the interminable
rows Hof vellum-covered folios, reaching far
back into the sixteenth century, and holding
themselves brim-full of information in regar •
to ten or twelve generations of Dutchmen,
and of those who have consorted with them,
as our fathers did. It was wonderful to see
the precision With which each page, even
two or three centuries ago, bore its own
record, the writing being often so distinct,
and the paper, ink, and accessories so good,
that (with an eye not, indeed, unaccustomed
to decipher ancient hand-writing) I was often
able tfi read the antique Dutch without hin
drance from the double difficulty of the strange
neis of the language and of the chirography.
Prof Day's familiarity with German and
Dutch stood us in constant service ; and I
feel that, with his help, a work has been ac
compliSh.ed, so far as the Leyden traces of the
Plymouth Colony are concerned, which it
Would have been almost, if not quite, impos
sible to have accomplished in any other way.

BURNING OF THE MUSEUM
LETTER FROM RR. BARNUM.
NEW YORK, July 14,1356.
MEssas. HERRING & Co.—Gentlemen Though' the
destruction of the. American Museum has.proyed
serious loss to myself and the public. I am happy to
verity the old adage that "it's an ill wind that blows
nobody any good," and eEnsequently congratulate
you that your well-known SAYEAhaVe again demon
strated their superior fire-proof-qualities in an ordeal
of unusual severity: The Safe you made for me some
time ago was in the office of the Museum, on the
second floor, back part of the building. and in the
hot test of the fire. After twenty foar hours of trial
it was found among the.debri., and on opening it this
day has yielded up its-contents in very good order.
Books, papers, policies of insurance, bank bills are
all in condition for' immediate use, and a'nobte com
mentary on the trustworthiness of HExicu , o'S FIRE
PROOF SAFE& Truly yours,
P. T. BARNUM.

ANOTHER TEST
111111 OF
HERRING'S FIRE-PROOF SAFES.
The Fiery Ordeal Passed Triumphantly.
The Herring Safe used in the offiee of our ware
houses, destroyed by the disastrous fire on the night
of the Bth instant, was subjected to as intense heat as
probably any safe will ever be subjected in any fire—
so intense that the brass knobs and the mountings of
the exterior of same were melted off, and the whole
surface coaled and blistered as if it had been in a fur
nace, and yet when opened, the contents—books and
Papers—were found to be entire and uninjured.
This Safe is now on exhibition in our warehouse on
Seventh Street,
just
the books and papers still re
maining in it. Just as it was when taken from the
ruin,. Merchants, Bankers, and others interested in
the protection of their books and papers are invited
to call and examine it. .
