Voanut Uprislag Looked Tor. By tbe arrival of the steamship Henry Cnanncy at tbe port of New York, we have mall dale from Central and Boutu America to the 20th Instant. The Timet'1 correspondent, writing from Pa nama on the 20i b, say: My last, mailed two days since, loft the atate Of affairs In tbe Interior of the Htate in a good deal of doubt, and we have not even now any very poNlilve news. There ohu be little ques tion, however, that the reports that General Ponce, tbe Dictator, who undertook to go to Han tin go at the bead of two or three hundred troops, bas been checked on bis onward march, or Hi least, that he Is unable to advanoe from bli point of landing at Agua Daloe, upon toe City of BantlRgo. ... It Is reported that the constitutionally eleotod President, Benor Amador, holds blm In check at tbe head of 400 men, and that men are gather ing at all points to oppose the Dictator and to restore thi portion of tbe Htate to Us lestal rulers. In the meantime arrests were dully taking place. Borne of our most respeotable citizens, suspected or known to ba inimical to tbe rew Government, have been taken Into custody. The people are constantly agl'ated by fa'se reports, and are very fearlulthat a con Hot, will arise in the city thai will caise loss of life and result In great destruction of properly. 'iii deU at a stand still, and Industry com pie ely paralyzed. The railroad and steamsnlp companies (led it extremely difficult to procure labor, as most of tbe able-bodied workers have taken to me bush for fear of being seized and thrust into tbe array, Provisions are soarce and dear, and the country people are afraid to come to market; anu if this state of things continues lint a short time longer, much suffering will ensue. Hundreds of the most respectable peo ple, natives es well as foreigners, are praying that foreign governments will sonn give us a protectorate and stop this eternal fighting and bickering. We have a report that ex-President Mosqnera Will soon be here or at Buenaventura, in the State of Cauca, from Pern, to initiate a revolu tion against tbe national Government at Bogota. We are soon expecting 200 national troops In Panama from Cartbagena, out no de pendence can be placed upon their fidelity, as the fashion is now well established of buying tbera oat bodily by either party, so that the political faction that can raise tbe most money tl the moment Is sure of tbtlr aid. Venezuela. A gentleman has arrived at Aspinwall as met-ttfuutr from the iiyenl In charge of the United Mates Legation at Caraccas, wit h letters to the Con mil there, asking the immediate at-sistance of a man-of-war at Puerto Cabello anil Lngnayra. It appears tbatMonagas is revo- lnttnn W.lnir t.hA nnnntrtr ami Una drlvAn mir. General Falcon, who lias lied to (juracoa. When tin latter It it be left Gent ral Iliuzual nominally in ibarge ut the Government, and this latter Ter on has shut himself up in the Castle of Pi erto Cabello, with 500 men. llruzual has also aonie gunboats, and these and his guns in tbe castle command the city. He Is levying contri bute ns upon both foreigners and natives, and fears for tbeir lives are entertained. It is reported that 4000 men were marching on Pneito tatiello, to drive out General'llru.ual. It is not known here to day if the Consul at Aspinwall, In the state of things on the Isthmus, can consistently ask the Saco to go to the aid of cur people in Venezuela. Prospects of a Hevolutlomt Peru War will Spala Affairs will oaill. The correspondent of the New York Tribune writing from Lima, Peru, July 14, says: The prospectB of revolution are very dim. Prado's party is rapidly fading away, as the ex Die La tor is not particularly anxious to take active measures, and the supporters of bis ban ner are downcast in the absence of their chief. There is a conspiracy, headed by a Dr. ITreta, a distinguished lawyer, which may cause Colonel Baita some trouble; but if the latter be peace ably inaugurated, Peru may congratulate her self on her apparent safety from serious revolu tion lor at leHBt iwo years to come, io puiiuuai asironoraer In Houtli America can guarantee it for a longer term than that above-mentioned, and Peru will Indeed be fortunate If she enjoys peace for that time. Balia should be inaugurated about tbe 28lu ot tbe present month, but as tne lever has fright ened away many Congressmen, It may be tuat tbe event will be delayed. Borne anxiety exists as to tbe choice of Ministers, if, In this most Important step, Balta can manage to satisly public opinion, his path will be very clear; but, on the contrary, if persons are appointed who do not enjoy the pubilo confidence, trouble will ensue. Tue war with Spain is now considered virtually ended, and the apparition of the Bpanlsb squadron on this coast would excite a degree of astonish ment only second to that experienced in April, 1804, when tbe Spanish Admiral, Pluzou, took pokfceHH'nn of ttie Islands of Chlucha. J he conduct of CUUl in the celebrated ar laustment m-Ue by her Minister in England with Lord (Stanley and the Spanish Amoassa dorr, has gone far towards creating In Peru a foehug ol dislike towards tbe alliance, and it is generally believed that the oiler of the United Htatesto meuiute will ui imuieiy ue uecepteu. Tbe Peruvian basis tor a lasting peace would be the following: Culll ncd Peiu would consuut to forego all claims on Bpaln for tbe damages lnfMcti d -n tbe two republics by the intemper ate action of the Spanish squadron, and, in re turn, would demand the recognition of Peru vian Independence by Bpaln, never officially announced, and tbe withurawal of the heavy claims held by Hpanish subjects against this country, dating from tbe struggle of 1821. Tuese, oi course, are simply the Peruvian ideas on the subject; it may well be conjectured that Chill would be loth to accept them, as the claims ft r damages sustained by the city of Va paralso uurlng the bombardment of that place are not to be given up so readily. Many years back, in tbe remote provinces and departments, a system ot vassalage has been adopted by the large planters and land owners, and the Indians, uneducated and timid, nave always, until recently, bowed meekly to the yoke. But iu 1807 a great rising of tne dolus lot place, and for some months a war of castes, the most terrible of all conflicts, was greatly fered. The planters, seeing their danger, Im mediately did all In their power to do away With tbe most grievous of the existing abases, and the society referred to Improved the occa sion by converting this temporary advantage into a lusting one. Tbe laws passed In favor of the Indians were translated Into the language of the interested parties and distributed among them; tbe exist ence and aim of the Association weremade gene rally known; and now we have the satisfaction of learning tdat nearly all of the grievances have been abolished, and the status of the do pcenrtnnts of the Incas greatly improved. Tue condition of affairs between On ill and this country is not as comfortable as might be de sired, but It is believed that noserlous difficulty win ensue, and tbe republic will maintain the same peaceful relations as before. All the 1 rouble arises from the natural indignation x pressed by Peru concerning the Chilian Spanish arrangement in Loudon. M E X I 0 oT Sgld aad tbe Alaxlcam Ports The Ailmui of all tbe troubu. The ZJirala'i correspondent, writing from Ma Katlan, Ji.:y 2, says: Kogland must not think, beoause Mexico Is Without a navy, because she is but recovering from tbe shock oi Hie Maximilian struggle, aud still tomand dUiracted by civil war aud revo lutions, that the British Hon, although now master of the Mexican waters, us represented by tbe naval fleet, Is at all feared by the Mexicans, should he shake bis massive mane on laud. Itlght the reverse. Tbe nation that prevented the great Napoleon III from establishing a monarchy on the Wes ern Continent is but little marnied bv a rival nation shaking tolls founda tions at the threaieued luvaslou of a handful ot infuriated euluus. uu tue very point, oi uonor involved in this blockade Mexico would to-day vi.a in anna airainst Ktnrland rather than sub mit to any humiliation. The Mexicans have but lime love anu iesa renpoui iui iuo uuemu government, owing to many causes. irst, Knglund aided and abetted the Frenoli on slaught on Mexican republicanism; secondly, England insulted the Mexican republic by vlr tnullv declaring her an outlaw and withdraw- tne- her dinlomatio representatives from tue m - - city of Mexico; lastly, and most acutely, the Mexican people are unanimous la thebelef that ibe English navy, stationed on this coast lor tbe last half eentory, bas robbed their coun try of millions upon millions of dollars bv smuggling In the most shameful and barefaced manner. Again, Mexico feels that England bolda ber in t-uprerne contempt, derides ber array and laughs at ber prowess, and to settle these little differences of opinion Mexico is eager and willing to meet the flower of old Eng land's army on Mexican soli. Indeed there are valiant aiid patriotlo Mexicans who declare that England dare not throw down tbe glove, even at an advantage, on the soil of tbe repub lic, but. knowing Mexico to be helpless at Bfa, will take deligut In bombarding defenseless towns and causing anguish In the hearts of timid and lovely women. We now come to a point very illustrative and suggestive ol the influence smuggling bas bad In settling the blockade difficulty as at present understood. It will be remembered that the telegraphic reports forwarded North settled the fact that General Corona and Captain Bridge could not come to an amicable adjustment of t lie dlspnte, and consequently the latter made preparations to bombard tbe city, as noihiug else was left to avenge his wounded honor. Just at the last hour the Prussian and Eng lish Consuls, backed by others, addressed Captain Bridge, requesting bim to cease from tne threatened bombardment, owing to the defenseless state of the city, that, In riooent people might be injured aud for various other reasons. Tbe Mexicans assert that this was very kind ou tbe part of tbe for eign merchants, and looks very bumane on the face of It, but that going down deeper ttiere Is a strata of base selfishness to be discovered, worthy, they assort, of the breeders ot revolu tion, (meaning the foreign merohants) and of the roywl smugglers, (meaning tbe English navy). The bnse selfishness Is this: "Captain Bridge, it you bombard Masatlan we shall give you no more orders to any certain point on tbe coast where you will find so many hnndred thousand dollars to take on board; neither will we give orders to any English man-of-war here after to smuggle for us, and thereby your admi rals and captains shall Buffer seriously In a finan cial point of view." This, tne Mexicans affirm, was more powerful than any plea that could be used by General Corona, and had the desired e fled, as they think, of saving Mazatlan from a full dese of shot and shell. FRANCE. Fearful Firs la ttas Csattral Markets of Paris. A fearful fire broke out at about half-past 0 o'clock on Saturday, tbe 11th Ins'., in one of tbe vaults under tbe central markets. These vaults are subterranean markets, in whicn I revisions are packed by stand holders above, each baving exactly the same spaoe allot tel to blm underground as be rents above. Here it Is that fowls are plumed, that fish Is kept fresh, and here all baskets are laid aside from eveulng till morning. The pavilion bearing No. 1 is one of the most Important in point of trade, and here it Is tne catastrophe occurred. It is the butter, cheese, and egg department. Tne quantities of grease iu combustion soon converted the vaults into a lake of burning lire. Heroio feats of courage were performed by the firemen; but towards 11 a part of the ceiling above fell In, and many were whirled into the naming liquid. The gas then exploded, when all the live animals in Pavilion No. 2 were stilled by columns of smoke, and tbe noise of the roaring flames was not sufficient to drown tne pitiable wall of the suffering. Chains of young men were formed all around the terrlfio sceue. , Nothing can be said too expressive of euloglsm on tneir conduct. They were not a select body of men trained to hardship or peril; they were nothing but young fellows accidentally passing or liv ing by, but perfectly reckless of life, they ran spontaneously where tbe flames leaped highest, stripped off their coats, and with one cry "a I'or.uvre" passed buckets, rolled tubs ol water, unrolled colls and harnessed themselves to carts as if thev had been kept in practice for months. The French impulse, called brio, bravura or furore In mnslo, is the keynote of tbe nation It is natural to all. In leas than quarter an hour an orderly servloe of voutneers was organized. I say orderly.because tliere arose one or two who positively oom. manded and were obeyed. At 7 o'clock the fol lowing morning the fire pumps were still at work. The losses are immense. No less than one hundred and fifty stand holders are com petely mined, 100.000 lbs. of butter boiled from one end of the vault to the other. Tbe losses for the city or Paris are estimated at 600,0001. The cause of the disaster was tbe ignition of a match In some dry 6traw. One episode of tbe fire will prove that money Is as dear as life In France with at least one of the fair sex. Just as tue fire was most lulense the air was rent with a wild shriek, and a market woman running ever; thing down before ber, threw herself in the midst of tho gulf; down, down she rushed, heedless of the melting grease, its Insufferable smell, Us formddlug aspect, and flying across the vault steeped in oil, she fumbled wildly in an Iron cage, and exultlngly bid a portfolio in ber pocket. Bbe turned, exola'.miug, "I have got my money," but the columns of smoke had In this short time got thicker, and behind them flashed lurid Humes; on she came as far as the lllgbl of steps, when a long tongue of fire encir cled her, but she pulled the portfolio from out of ber pocket, and all on fire, threw it out to a fireman, crying "Help " The man caught hold of ber, but when she in his arms was brought to tne rresn air, sue was a norrioie spectacle, a perfect wound, a lump of grease on which her burned clothes were still feeding. .AT. Y. Herald. THE CRISIS IN SPAIN. Geatsral Prim Issues a Uaalfesfo. An address to the people of Spain by Genera Prim Is published la the London papers. la it be says: "The present reactionary ministry, In whose hands, by order of fie Crown, the destiny of the country has been confided, Is an aroltrary gov ernment. For many years martial law has been the substitute for a constitution sunk down before to a shadow of its original self; and in consequence the liberal party has been placed In such a position that, it uaa been com pelled to abstain lrom taking part In any pub ilo business, and to uevote itself solely to the duty ot maintaining that dlgulty which, in the present state oi tyrannical oppression anu anarchy, affords the sole guarantee for the fu ture triunipn ol constitutional rtgnt. "With a supreme government based on tradi tional tyranny, the sltuatlou of Bpaln to-day is what it was yesterday, what It always has been and always win De until tne reactionary politi cal influences shall have undergone a radical change. Liberty la Bpaln, as administered now, is an insult to humanity. The electoral law bas been made a government monopoly; parliamentary rights are derided; the munici palities are under arbitrary control, the press under a strict censorship, theexchequereiupty, the ecclehiabtlcul property sold without profit to the Blute, the money thus raised wasted, the law superseded, the public debt increased, Spanish paper with no value in foielga mar kets, agriculture perishing, Industry paralyzed, exressive taxation still insufficient. Against such a miserable stale of country, while the whole nation, with a blcedlug heart, remem bers tbe sanguinary nights of the 10th of April and the 3d ol October, 18U5, it would be impossi ble that tbe liberal party should abstain from protesting in the only form allowed to them, by maintaining a passive self-respect and wholly abstaining lrom public business. "ibe liberal principles proclaimed by the Progressist party have a natural tendenoy to draw men together and to strengthen tuelr wishes for perfect liberty. Habeas oorpus law, civil and political freedom, economy iu public expenditure, reform in the system of taxation, independence of tne municipality and pro vinces, unity of right and uniformity of legis lature, reforms In the army and navy, esta' blisbraeut of juries abolished by the govern ment, secured rights ot electors freedom of the press, religious toleration, liberty or education, right of public meeting and association these at e the principles on which tne liberal party will base the future happiness of Bpuln, SIIO T-aUNS AND SL UGS. Fatal Dull sir the City of Ksw Orleaas, The New Orleans Republican, of the 2Uth, says: A sad affair of konor, so called, took place yesterday morning, which resulted in t tie death of Mr. Psui E. Laresche, Jr., son of Paul E. La resche, Esq., extensively known as a notary public In Exchange alley. Tbe other parly in the aftulr was Mr. Bossier, a deputy constable in the Third Justice's Court, The difficulty be tween tbe parties, it appears, originated In the Third Justice's Court roou ou Friday afternoon, when some Irrltatirg words passed. After La rsch bad lett the court r-om and gone to his 'tner's office, he was followed by U msler, in ctmpany with auotner geuiletnao. Mr. Bossier called Mr. Larescne to come out, itaylDg he wished to speak to blm. As soon as Laresoue had topped outside tbe door. Bossier without any words slapped nim In ti e face; Lareche returned this with a blow which knocked Bossier down. By this time the brother of BuBxler reached the spot, and Ibtre was au attempt at pistol drawing, but frit nds and bystanders interfered and tne par ties were separated. The result ot tbe quarrel was a challenge by Mr. Larescne, and the oom batants met yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, In the parish ol Bt. Bernard, some dis tance below Ibe city, near the U, B. Barracks. Mr. Lsresehe was accompanied by Messrs, Marcel and V. Hmlth as bis seconds and Dr. Herjot as his surgeon; while Messrs. Firsial antlLabatnt acted as the friends aad Dr. Hince as the snrceon of Mr. Bossier. Tne ground wis marked off at forty paces, and double barreled shot -guns, loaded with slugs, were tbe weapons selected. At the first fire tbe weapon of Mr. Bossier missed fire. At the second fire Mr. Lareeobe received a ball In the right side Im mediately under the ribs, the ball passing en tirely through his body. Tne unfortunate yonna man was conveyed to the dwelling of bis parents on Hoyal, between Hospital and I'rsulirjes streets, where he died at half -past 4 o'clock last evening. K. K. K. Vhr Attempt to Bars Allvs a Membir of the UalOM League. The telegraph recently outlined the parttcu lars of an attempt upon the life of Mr. Btewa'd. a harmless teaobet of a public sooool n-tar Washington, Adams county. Miss. Tue fticts having been reported to Geueral Dudley, com mander of tbe post, be ordered the arrest of several persons, and measures were taken for an exhaustive investigation. A citizen of Nat cher, bas communicated to tbe New Orleans Jiepublicun Mr. Bteward's vetslon of the out rage, and we extract therefrom the following: Bciore daybreak on Bunday morulng, July 19, I heard voices saying:' There has beeu a great row in Natchez lo-nlgbt, and four colored and two white men have been killed, and we were mixed up In tbe scrape, aud we want your advice and help to get away," I replied, 'I know nothing about it, and can't give you any advice what to do; and I have no means to help you with." After parley I went to the door, and was drawn a little to one si Je under a tree, when a third person stepped up to me and filaced a pistol to my breast, and said. "One oud word, aud I'll blow your brains out." Tue otbor two took each one ot my arms, and placed pistols at the side of my he id and said. "Keep silent or you die on tne spot." I saw then that they were white men In dis guise. They led me forward some distance to the road, and as we passed along others fell In until the number bad become fifteen or twenty. I was inarched along the road some-distance, surrounded on all sides by men in disguise, aud each man with a revolver in bis hand. I was balled, and after certain Ku-Klux cabalistic signs and motions, I was ordered to kneel and say my prayers. The man that was with me from the start, when I was on my knees, stepped to the side of the road and brought a large can, and approached me with it in his band, and at a sign another of the Klan nulled back my head, and the one with the cau began pouring the contents over my bead aud face. Another was with a large wisp of hay rubbing the stuff over my face and through my hair. One of the Klan said: "Don't pour It all over bis head and face; pour It all over the body of ibed radical son ol a ." I kep. Jerking my bead about from one side to the other so rapidly that the man with tbe cau became enraged and swore at me, and said h had me now, and he would give me a taste of bell cn earth before he got through with me. He cursed me for a G d radical son of a , and rxrde use of words and langnage that had been spoken to me at a Demooratlo meet ing a few days previous to the election. I re called tne words, and at once recognized tho voice and tbe language to be that of the same person wbo bad threatened me. The ringleader then stepped up and ordered silence, and said to me: "You are a member of the Loyal League?" I replied affirmatively. He then said: "Give me the signs and pass words." I told blm that I could not. He re peated the demand several times, but I kept silent. He became enraged, and cursed me. "Let's hang him and leave bim to be seen by his thieving carpet-bag associates " Others still said, "That is too good for blm; set him on fire and let blm loose, and be may run and show himself to others of bis crew, that thfy may see what is Intended for all of them; for we will give all of them a small smell of hell before we get through with them." I was repeatedly told to kneel. The one that had been counting said, G d d m him, be will soon be glad to get down. I will go on with the counting." He resumed where he had left off "Five, six, seven, eight," and as he pronounced "eight," I made one desperate spring buck ward, expecting to be shot to pieces. This brought me among those who were behind me. Two of them grabbed me by the shirt, which they tore away. They than grasped me by the arm, but the coal tar and oil and other ingredients had made my skin so slipi ery that they could not hold me. I broke from them and ran. (Several shots were fired, but fortunatelv none struck me, I ran about forty paces and then rushed into the hedge. The hedge is so compact that I could not get through it, but I crawled In as far as I oould foRslbly get, and lay there as still as death; hey searched for me awhile, and at length they mounted their horses and rode off. SINGULAR. A. Boy Drotvasd im a Wall, aad Is Htiui cltatad. A singular case of drowning and resuscita tion occurred on Friday last Henry Kione, a little son of Charles Blone, of this village, of about seven years ol age, with bis grandmother, Mrs. Whitney, were visiting at N. G. Pi urea's, In Westminster, in tbe cellar of whose bouse is a well. During tne afternoon the boy was in the field with Mr. Pierce aud son, who were hay ing, when he was sent to the house for a bottle of beer, which was in the cellar, and which was to be got lor him by a girl of about fifteen, em ployed In Mr. Pierce's family, Mrs. Pierce aud Mrs. Whitney being absent at the lime calling on a neighbor. The boy made known bis errand, but the girl did not start immediately, as she was adjusting ber hair, and impatient to accomplish his object he went down cellar himself, though we believe he was cautioned about the well. Not returning as soon as might be expected, the girl went to the door aud ci.lied, but no auswer. Bhe ran down cellar to the well; all was still and nothing could be seen, but having no doubt he was in the well, she ran to call the men in the field, and in ber excitement tell twice once from the steps of the bouse, and once before sue was where she could communicate what had happened. Mr, Pierce of course ran. but being a fleshy mau, he thinks a fust walk would have carried him quite as rapidly. Airlvlng at tbe cellar, Mr. Pierce sent his boy for a pole, spike, and hammer. On these being brought to film, the spike was driven Into the pole, the cellar being dark and a candle having been lighted meantime, and by good luck or management the spike caught the boy's clothes at once, and he was brought up. Mr. Pierce, who appears to have acted with muoh presence of mind on this occasion, immediately stripped off his clothes and constantly rubbed him, and wrapped him In fiannels wet with hot water and changed often. No sius of life appeared for the fii'bt five minutes. At the end of that time a movement was observed, and in about ten minutes he began to breathe naturally, though of course in great distress, vomiting water and blood. We have thus been particular In giving de tails, that the reader may Judge for himself as to the amount of time tbe boy was without na tural breathing, which must h ive been about 17 minutes. He must have lain in tbe bottom of the cold well, which Is ten feet deep and half filled with water, from seven to ten minutes at least. Tbe distance which Mr. Pierce came to the bouse from tiie field was forty rods, as paced by William Btone, of this villige, who is grandfather of tbe boy, and who rapidly passed It in two minutes and forty se conds. There was a wound on the back of his head, as if be struck something as be fell in. which may have so stunned him that he did not quite fill with water and rise and sink the usual three times. Tbe next oay the boy was able to be brought to bis home In this village, and last Monday was out playing with other boya.-Mdlwi ITuUt( Yt ) Timet, SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

Prom the Pittsburg Commercial of yesterday. A terrific oil explosion occurred at tbe Album Oil Works, owned by Messrs. Lafldi'ty aud Waring, aud located at Beuneil's station, three miles lrom the city, on the West Pennsylvania lialiroad, resulting lu the duath of one man and the serious, perhaps fatal, Injury of another. It appears that about half past six o'clock last evening, a train ol oil cars were left on the siding for tbe purpose of being retlued at the works. The sldlpg at this place runs up to the works, aud Mr. Hubert Lafforty, one ol the owners of tne woiks, assisted by a young man named James Gonlgle and the slillruan, whose name wo were unable to ascertain, was engaged iu unloading the oil. A plug at the bottom ol'oneof the tauks became loose by some means or other, aud the oil running out caught tire from the furuaces. in front ol which the train was slattdtug, and the flames communicated immediately to the eight other tanks of the train, causing a terrlfio explosion. The burnlug oil llew In all directions, setting tiro to tbe oil works, which were burned to the ground. James Gonlgle, a boy about seveuteeu years of age, was blown across the track, and Lis body was burned to a crisp. Coroner Claw ton bus beeu notified, and will hold un Inquest today. The slllliuan was missing at last ac counts, snd Is supposed to have beeu killed. Mr. Robert Laffertv, one of the proprietors of the works, wasbxilly burned, and bis recovery is considered doubtful. The uuforluuale man was badly burned, aud the lle.su. came off his bands and arms. Collision on thb Cape Mat Railroad. A collision occurred tWs inornina; on the Capo Slay Railroad, near Kniphu's Poiut, between a locomotive going down tbe road and a way train coming up. Ibe train was badly wrecked, but as far as ascertained no one was hurt. The early train from Cape May was unable to run up to Camden in consequence of tho romi belnt; obstructed, and the paengers were forcd to get out and walk to tbe Kuigbn's Point Ferry, and reach tbe city lu that way. Vacuo rumor prevailed in tbe city of the collision., and caused forae anxiety to persons wbo had friends on tbe excursion and regular traius to Cape May. Tbebe trains, bowever, passed down long before tbe coUibion occurred. TUE COLUMBUS PRISONERS. fbf Rsturm to taalr Homes ad Fab. llab a Card. The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer, in IU Issue of tbe Itlih Instant, says: "The cltisens of Columbus, lately on trial before a military commission at Atlanta, re turned to this olty yesterday evening all well snd In good spirits. They were met at the depot by a large oonoourse of citizens, where 1 he bond, required by the military, was signed. The late prisoners then went to their respective homes." The prisoners published a cird In which they sld: The prisoners arrested in May were at Fort Pulaski before their removal to Atlanta. Their cells were as dark as dungeons, without ventilation, and but four by seven feet. No bed or blanket was furnished. Tbe rations consisted of allce of rat pork three timas eaoa week, and beef too unsound to eat tbe remain ing days. A pleae of bread for each meal, soup for dinner and coffee for breakfast, finished tne bill of fare. An old oyster can was elven each prisoner, and In this vessel hoi h coffee and soup were served. It may be said that tbe soldier received nnmluz belt er; but these citizens were not soldiers, and their friends were able, willing, and anxious to give them every comfort. VVhy were they denied tbe privilege T He. used all communica tion with their friends, relatives, or counsel, they were forced to live In these horrid cxlls ntaht and day, prostrated by beat and mad Uened by myriads of mo qultoes. The calls of natnre were attended Ut In a bucket, whloa was removed but once In twenty-hours. At McPherson Barracks we were placed In cells five feet e.even Inches wide by ten feet long. These celts were afterward divided, re ducing their width to two leet tea Inches. Tins In terrible, but true. Upon the arrival of the officer sent from Washington to investigate the at rests, the partitions were removed. Neither bed nor bedding was furnished for from two to five days. We were not permitted to sen our friends, families or counsel, until after memorials to Coneress hail aroused the whole country to the enormity of the outrage. Even after this, our letters, breathing the affection of a wife or mother wete subjected to Inspection. The prison sink was immediately at our cell doors, and emitted a stench that was horrible. At times, when pome humane soldier was willing to trausoend bis orders and give as a breath of fresh air to soothe our distended, bursting veins, we would ask bim to close the door, preferring to risk sulf cation rather than endure tbe Intolerable smell. During all this time we were ignorant of tbe charges against as. Or course we aooepted the common rumor that our arrest gre voui. of the murder or Asbburn; but after our counsel was permitted to visit ns.no definite line of defense could be planned in the absence ol all specifications.
