Xow commenced a system of treat
ment that was worse than we received
at A'ndersonville. Our food had to
lie furnished by the surrounding coun
try, and considering that it was nl
ready drained to support the rebel
armv, it looked like starvation. And !
it did approach very near it. Our ra
tions were divided by the spoonful.
I find in my diary the following note
of our rations: "Haifa pint of coarse
meal and ibur spoonfuls of Wits."
"One and a half hard tack, four sjioon
luls of meal and a little molasses."
'A pint of meal." "One pint of rice."
Remember these were rations for
twenty-lour Horn's, lnu ever prison
ers sulfer more than we? It was with
lis one continued hungering. We lay
down to sleep and dreamed of deli
cious food brought almost to our. lips,
but some rude hand would snatch it
away, and we awakened to stern real
ities. Every one felt ho was slowly
starving. Nothing but the most de
termined courage kept us alive, fcjo
soon as one lost hope, in tllat moment
ho commenced to die.
UiiiMimluy the 2 I otuctoimr, we all
wen: put ino a new prison that had
been made by the slaves. This was a
little better, as there was plenty ot
wood and water, though the inevitable
swamp and black ditch were there to
breed fevers and all pestilences. I
never so near gave up all hope as
when the gates were closed upon us.
It seemed to shut out every ray of
light from the north-land "God's
'country," wo called it. I do not re
member the name of the ollieer in
charge of us. One officer I remember
Barritt,thc red-headed fiend of Flo
rence. May God have mercy on his
soul, fir lie was killed ere the war
closed. Such a systematic wretch I
never saw. lie never came into the
prison without a revolver, with which
he drove the miserable captivesaround.
Satan's language was outdone in his
epithets. "Booting" sick men was a
pleasant exercise with him.
Ti;, ,,,, !
j.i.t ini.i
were reported to the 'commander, but
no notice was taken of them. Gen
Winder came in once, but he would do
nothing.
Anothcrevil was the brutality of some
taf our owii men. The strong robbed
the weak and there was no redress,
Even the police could not wholly re-
strain the crime. The Irish were the
most cruel iii their tyranny. One es
pecially, Stanton, was worse than Bar
ritt. He killed two prisoners, I think,
while in prison. After his release he
was sent to the Hip-Raps. It was
unusual for him to jrass a day without
whipping some weak or sick prisoner.
But one day he met his match, lie
was about to whip a man, when Bar
ritt pulled out his revolver and put
ting it to the Irishman's head, told
liim to "go ahead!" but he did'nt.
Those prisoners who obtained jmi
roles to work about the prison, some
times took the opportunity to csdapc.
"When caught the usual punishment
was hanging by the thumbs. Is there
a more fiendish torture? Several
times did the prison ring with their
screams for mercy.
It was now getting cold and no
clothes were given to Us to keep death
in this new fornl awav. A lot of
clothes did come from tho (Sanitary
Commission North; but half of it was
kept by the reVte. The rest was
distributed to the most needy. I tore
my shirt to get a new one, but fuiled
and had to mend my old one. I never
. washed my clothes in three- months.
To have done so would have torn
' them in pieces, .
Every morpiag at sunrise we were
called p by a drum and made td
stand shivering for fifteen minutes till
roll-call wat over.' About once a week
the whole camp would bo moved to
ne side of the ditch and after staying
US,

two or three horn's, would march back
again and be counted.
On Sunday the 20th of November,
we drew the usual rations in the even
ing a pint and a half of meal. The
next day some prisoners escaped a
privilege they had and the rebels re
fused to issue any rations. It also
commenced to rain and be cold. We
thought we would get something the
next day; but no, nothing, not even
the usual scanty meal was civen us.
It seemed ns if they would starve us
all at one fell sweep. The next dav.
Wednesday, we waited, almost insane,
till niglit, and then a small amount of
meal wnjiveii n. Think of that, v'e
who lived in luxury while the war
raged ! Can yon imagine how we seized
that morsel et food, fought over it
like beasts, and ate it almost raw?
In those three days many died solely
from the want of food. Did therebcls
have any humanity ? All this time,
too,thestore-hoiiseoii(side was cram mod
with provisions. Talk of the civili
zation of the nineteenth century !
Many of the men became insane
! from the want of food and from the
loivo of their surrnundinirs. That
prison cannot be pictured. As I write
the whole scene rises in my mind, but
words fail to describe, it. It almost
made ma a Universal ist. Surely if
there has ever been a hell on earth, it
was there. There, will bo a fearful
reckoning at the judgment day fir the
deeds done in that prison pen.

Henry Wakb Beecher, having
been asked for his opinion about novel
reading; has given it. He asserts that
"Protestant Christendom is not united
on any other practical question more
entirely than on the jirojiriety of read
ing fiction." In proof of this startling
.position he instances the apjtroval giv
en to the parables of the Gosjiels, Mil
ton's poeiim, the "Pilgrim's Progress,"
and Pollock's "Course of Time." He
next says it is imjiossible to lay down
any general rule as to how much time
should be given to novel readin".
But he thinks it certain that hovels
should not bo made "the staple of
reading." On the contrary, he Wjmld
have tiiem bear the same jiroportiou to
the whole amount of one's reading that
jiejiper does to one's food, or sugar to
ones drink. He is ready to admit,
however,iat novels are useful in im
planting a taste for reading, and that
"Miss Austen's works, Miss Edge
Worth's tales, Miss Sedgwick's novels,
Walter Scott's matchless roinauces,
contain at good matter as is to be found
in sermons, essays, histories or poems."
He says nothing about Dicken'i works.-

It will be recollected that a den of
the Kii-Klux Klan was recently bro
ken up in .Memphis by the police, and
that the rebel paper of that city tried
hard to make it appear that the or
ganization was not connected with the
rCu-Kliix, but was an innocent assem
blage. Jack Campbell, formerly city
editor of the Aenhim-he, an 1 "Grand
Cyclops" of the ih'ii, however, came
out in a card in which he denied the
truth of the apologists' version of the
case, and declared plainly that the
object of the association was as-t.vssiiia-tion.
Since the appearance of the card
the Memphis- Appeal Albert Pike's
organ published a munilcsto signed
by sixteen of the men arrested, in
tvhuh they professed entire innocence
of the designs attributed to them by
Campbell ; said that they were "re
ligiously educated," etc. ' To establish
his veracity, Campbell furnished the
following detailed account of the or
ganization ami projects of the fiendish
consniracv to the Memphis Bulletin, of
Friday last.

fill reading :
'The Appeal h is, from tiaia to time,
since the utifuriiriatc publication ol
the card of the religiously trained, but
lying 'iSixteen," taken occasion to deny
the truth ot my statement, anil to cast
personal reflections upon moi For the
latter I have no concern, knowing that
if every asserted fact was true, that
even then my character would bear
favorable contrast with that f more
than one attaelte of that unscrupulous
sheet. So much lor the personal, now
for the facts. I never charged that
the organization with which I was ar
rested was a Ku-Klux one, but I did
charge that it was a band of men, all
the way from nin'eoii years to beyond
middle ago, banded together for the
purpose of assassinating men who had
rendered themselves objectionable to
them. True, the fact is undeniable
that most of the men arrested were
young, and all tho ihdisereet signers
of the "card" were such, but behind
these are a number of other men who
have not as yet joined in the assault
upon mo, and whose names I do not

into the matter. It is unnecessary for
me to go over the ground already cov

i then is strictly true. The nsssociation
at the ti.tiu of the arrest co .sisted of I
about thirty-five members, nearly all
of whom had numbers.

that committee should consist of seven:
This was lost, but ihe motion was
again renewed, an I after Iliad sifl,
mitted it to the members, I called Mr.
T. L. Bisk to the chair, sjioke to the
question, and told them that if such a
thing was carried through ut all, that
the committee was too largo ; the men
selected would not feel like placing
their lives in the hands of more per
sons than was necessary, and that when
the selection was made, it should be
done by placing tho numbers of all
members in a hat, and that the first
three drawn out should be the men
insisting", however, thjt if such a thing
was done that I should be jilaced nt
the head of it, for the jmrposc of con
trolling it und saving the hot headed
fools, who were bent ujion their own de
struction. This was done, find X. T.
Reeves, E. M. Haley and J. W.
Dashiel selected as said committee,
the "religious-iulrtured" Mr. A. C.
Ferguson insisting that when any
"work" was to be done that he should
have a chance, and volunteering to
tako the plaeo of any man. He could
get ho chance, not h man on the com
mittee being willi.ig to trust him.
The first niyn nominated was Judge
William Hunter, ami this was also
done by the "religiously nurtured"
Ferguson. The Judge's name I pro
tested against being'entered in tho race
stating that my position and feeling
towards him lufa been- misconstrued

were put in Humiliation. Had I not
shut down on ihe nominations there
is no telling how many more would
have been made. Barbour Lewis,
however beat them oil.
The result of the election was well
received, and all were pleased, although
they had to concede the defeat of some
favorite candidates. Who the indi
vidual votes were cast for I do not
know, except mv own. It was then
moved that each member should be
assessed a certain amount to deirav the
incidental expenses of carrying out the
object Of the committee, and the meet
ing adiourne'i, t'io members leaving
the ha!! in the usual manner, in pairs
and at five minute intervals.
Before adjourning, howevir, a meet
ing of the "Assassination Committee"
was called for noon next day, and
they met In a building not a hundred
miles from .Jetlersou street, ami pro
ceeded to disetl-s how it was best to
manipulate "old Unctions," as I used
to tall him in roportorial days. The
committee was divided into sub-committees,
ami from 2 o'clock thi't after
noon until the next moiiiiiig Barbour
Lewis was shadowed but his shadow
had strict instructions from inc to com
mit no overt act until authorized.
Had it not been for that, Lewis' hands
would now be out of the County Treas
ury. " Various plans were suggested,
the rope, the dagger and the pistol,
and one of the committees appointed
was for the selection of a suitable tree
on which to ban; tho object of the
enmitv of this "Baso ball or Glee
Club.'' It was selected, and I will
also tell you, Messrs. Editors, where it
is situated. In rear of the Catholic
grave yard, and between Ditnlap aven
ue a ml the Jcwi.ili Grave yard, on the
left hand side going out of town to
wards the Jewish. Cemetry, is a vacant
lot of large dimentions, on wLich is
now growing three trees, which form
tin irregular triangle, tho trees beiiiif
from twenty to thirty feet apart. Jt
was the middle one of this trio, form
ing, as it were, tiie apex of tho trian
gle, which these "religiously nurtured"
young nien, selected lor my Iricnd
Barbour Lewis' benefit. On "this tree,
jutting toward the street comes out u
limb si pi a re from the trunk: over this
limb these religiously nurtured "six
teen" intended to have thrown il rope,
and most religiously hung the gentle
man. So you see, Mr. Editor, they
had selected, through a member of
your committee, tho gallows tree, be
tween two veritable places of skulls.
I forgot to say in the proper place that
the office of Mr. Lewis, on second
street, was most critically examined
by different members of the committee
and atone time it was thought pri'.lia-
I,k' " l,c B place lor a little
.ccreativestrangula.io.l At the
i"cxt '""'"!.' I "old tho "religiously
rtn.Hl" individuals that it was not
f t0 do " "f,
muse some oi the members ol the or-
ganization had been "talking too much
with their mouths' and tho fact of
tho existence ol the society was known,
and that I myself had been followed;
as I thought for some time, by Mt
Cuneand Hustings, two of Beaumont's
detectives, und that I was satisfied
llmt unless the utnioJt Caution was
preserved, we would be arrested, and
some eight or ten of us came to the
conclusion to withdraw from such in
discrete associates. I for ono wish I
had, for then I would never have had
this most unjilcasant duty to myself to
jicrform. True to our instincts the
unfortunate event hapjicneil, rendered
doubly so by tho foolishness of the
"Sixteen" in following foolish coun
sels, in foolishly trying to fasten upon
inc the charge of treason," when the
burden of all my advice to them was
Secrecy, caution, arid to trust no man
in the organization that each and every
one of us could not give our lives to.
No man can be more sorry for the in
jury which may re lit from this com
munication. I am not responsible lor
it. On the Memphis Daily Appeal it
should, must and shall rest. I lad it
pursued tho sensible course, of the
AvalandieflwH allowed, what I consid
crj the great misfortune of life (my as
sociation with such thinyn) to remain
in ."the tomb of the Cajmlets," in which
I had hoped it buried, no word would
Beaumont have heard from me on the
subject. I have done. I aui respon
sible for my ow15 acts, but acts of boy
or sage shall never be saddled upon
my shoulders without an indignant
and energetic protest.
Yours,

A ladyj n hr) was for three years of
tho war, connected with the estcrn
Sanitary Commission, mid who had
abundant ojiportunily of judging for
herself in regard to the character and
ability of many of our Generals, writes
to the Philadelphia iVivw. We iliiote
the following from her letter:
During the entire cani:iign of the
ojiening of the Mississijipi it was my
jirivclege to aid in caring for our no
ble jiatriots, both in hospitals and in
cani)s, mid have been for weeks to
gether where I saw General Grant
daily, beard his name constantly, ami
never did 1 hear inteiiijii.-iauec men
tioned in connection with it. Facts
arc stubborn things. I will relate a
few of tho many that came directly to
my own knowledge :
In tho winter of 18(52-9, when the
army arrived nt Memji'iis, after long
wcarv marching, mid trials that sick
en tho heart to think of, t-thirds of
of the ofii -ers and soldiers were in hoi
dials. General Grant was lying sick
at the Gayoso Hotel. One morning
ulrs. urant came into the ladies par
lor, very much deiu'esscd, and said the
nicuicai director nail Mist been to see
Mr. Grant,' mid thought ho would not
be able to go any further jf he did not
stimulate. Said she; "And 1 eannot
jicrsimdu him to do so, he says he will
not die, and he will not touch a drop
iiiion ntivconsideratioii." In Jess than
a week ho was on board the advance
boat on the way to Vicksbtirg.
Again a few months after I was on
board the headquarters boat at Mill
ken's Bend, where qiiite n lively gath
ering of ollicers and ladies had assem
bled. Cards and - music were the or
der ot tne evening, licnoral Grant
sat in the ladies' cabin, leaning imou
a tablo covered with innumerable
mails and routes to Vickshnnr. wholly
absorbed in contemjilation of tlio great
matter before him. lie paid no at
tention whatever to what was going
on around, neither did any one dare
to interrupt him ; for hours he sat
thus, until tho loved and lamented
McPherson stejiped up to him with a
iss ot honor in bis hand, and said :
"General, this won't do, you are in
juring yourself; join with us in a few
toasts, ami throw this burden oft your
mind." Looking up with a smile he
rejilied, "Mac, you know your whisky
won't helji me to think ; give me a
dozen of the best cigars you can find,
and, if the ladies will excuse mo for
smoking, I think by tho time I have
finished them I will have this job
jiretty nearly ilanned." Thus ho sat ;
and, when the company retired we left
him there, still smoking and thinking
not having touched one drop of li
quor. When the army lay around Vicks
burg during that long siege, the t!me
that tried men's souls, I watched every
movement it were possible for me to
do, feeling almost certain that ho would
eventually succumb to the custom
alas! too universal among the ollicers.
I was in with a gentleman from Chi
cago, who while cnlling.upon the Gen
eral, remarked : "I have some very
fine brandy upon the boat, and if you
will send an orderly with me to the
river, I will send you a case or two.
"Iain greatly obliged," rejilied the
General, "but I do not use the article.

I shall win, I know I must do it
with a cool head. Send all the liquor
you intend lor-me to my liogjiitill in

hurt the jioor fellows down there."
A t a celebration on the 22d of Feb
ruary, before the surrender of Vicks
burg, while all around were drinking
toasts iii sparkling champagne,-1 saw
General Grant jnish nsidu a glass of
wine, and taking up a glass of Miss
issipjd water, with the remark, "This
suits the matter in hand," drank to
the toast, "God gave us Lincoln and
Liberty ; let us fight for both."
I'l:Si)l,KTO.t HV.U.Mi WHAT IS IT 1
What the Pendlctonian Greenback
scheme really is can be described by
none so well a3 its sii)iortcrs. We
have said it was a scheme for flooding
the country with pajier issues which
would sjiccdily degenerate to worth
less rags, destroy all values, prostrate
credit and business and lead directly
to repudiation; That thi is its true
meaning and intent, we call the Chi
cago Times one of Pendleton's most
energetic snjijiortcrs to jirovc:
"The first group contains the Cin
cinnati plan (i.e. the Pendleton scheme.)
The grand feature of this scheme is
what is called 'payment of the national
debt in greenbacks.' It contemplates
a new issue of greenbacks equal in
amount to the bonds which it is pro
posed to redeem. Over twelve hun
dred millions of five-twenty bonds will
become redeemable before 1872. Five
hundred millions nro redeemable now.
The way to pay theinj according to this
plan, is to set the printing presses in
motion. So long as the rags and
lampblack hold out we will have no
trouble in paying tho bonds at matu
rity. When all have been thus paid,
we shall have added to our paper mo

' Pay your small debls. Yoit do not
know bow much good is frequently
accomplished by ndojiting this, jirin
cijile. It was honest old Ben Frank
lin, wo believe, who, ns a matter of
experiment, followed up a small
amount which he jiaid to a tradesman.
I n a very little while he ascertained
that the money paid tlio tradesman
bad passed from hand to hand until
the number of bills of nearly similar
amount settled will, it reached some
fifteen or twenty. It may not he pos
sible to do as Franklin did, and trace
up the history of a small amount of
money in tho way of debt laying, but
me pniinpi, jr.iyment oi small tloDtS is
the initiative step toward jinying cash
for everything. Generally "speaking
these small debts are duo to persons;
who need all the little capittd they can
command. To such, they are of im
mense iinjiortanco ; and it may be said
of the jierson who allows these trifling
obligations to remain unjiaid, while
having the means to discharge them,
that ho is not, in the true sense of the
word, nn honest man, unless, by ex
press contract, a time for payment l.ns
been fixed, and that time not arrived.
Pay your small debts, and your big
ones too. If you wollid be happy and
comlortable, sleep soundly, cat hear
tily, and enjoy that peace of mind
which only nien with good consciences
are sujijiosod to enjoy, pay your small
debts.

College over which Gen. R. E. Lee
presides. A lady who was te.i years a
member of Mr. Beccher's church, and
has been a teacher of freedmen in the

published a very caustic letter ujioit
her former paotor's recent proceeding.
She relates her experience of General
Lee's yrrifnggenthunt n brickbats and
stones thrown into the windows of her
school room, horrible serenades finder
her window at niglit, occasional ad
monitions on the street to take up her'
abode in the infernal regions, polite
salutations as "damned Yankee bitch
of a nigger teacher," and threats to
burn the school house and home of
those engaged in instructing the freed

Said she was sorry, and it must havo
been a very naughty dog, but mother
did not believe me, and said she ,wn0
nl'raid I had told a lie, and I'm afraid
I had. Then mother said thero was a
dreadful stuo of sin, und then Bob
hollered and said that ho "guessed I
was on it ;" and then sic! whijijied us
and sent us to bid without any sup
j'cr, but I didn't care for any supper,
tor they hadn't, nothing but bread rind
butter and tea, and Bob and I got up,
and ho lifted mo in at the jiantry win

did not think I was wioked, I said I '
was afraid I was, and was sorry for it;
and wouldn't do so any more, and
then she said I was a good bnyj and 1
then told mo about George Washing

was caught at It, and said he did it
with his littlo hatchet, just as though I
hadn't lies id all about it before, and .
didn't always think him a big stupid -for
cutting wood when they had a hir

have been a great deal jollier td let

very healthy cither, for I never sea a
good boy that wasn't always sick and
had the niiimps and measles, and the "
scarlet fever, and wasn't a coughing all ;
tho while, and hadn't to take castor ,
oil and could not eat cherries, and
didn't havo his head patted till his
hair was rubbed off by everybody that
came to his mother's, and be asked '
how old ho was, and who died to silve :
sinners, and what he'd been studying .
at school, and how far ho'd got, and

when ho asked me how many boys

and I'm glad of ft, for he isrt't.trty
fattier, and hasit t any right to lick'
me, for I get erJough of that at home,
and-the quarter wasn't a good one
cither. I don't like Uncle John, and
I guess ho knows it, for he says I'm
not like any of the fatrfily, and he
say3 he expects I'll go to sea and bo a
jiirato instead of a respectable member
of society, and I should not wonder;
for I'd rather be a jiratc than' asoaj

rich it's a nasty business ; and I shan't
have to' bo a pirate either, for one carl
make lots of monev without that ; and
they are always fflking to me about
being rich and respectable, and going
to Congress and being President, ainu
all tlnft sort of thing; but I don't want
to be President; there is Lincoln; ho
was President, and I guess he's sorry
for it now ; and there is Andv John
son, I guess he dpn't like it much
either J and a fellow doesn't have to bo
respectable to be a Congressman, for
there's John Morrissy, ami he has got
nice curly hair and nice clothes, and
hedou't do any work either;. oh I

have my eggs stole if I was fbird,
and I don't think I should; but I ain't
