'FM :WO I, I an Pvldol I In Med:LIU, Apt II 22, 0-13100114 General Meredith, the - United States Commissioner for Exchange of Priso ners, Disproves the Rebel Ould's late Slanders. [From tho Buffalo Corm - 110mM Adrurtiser Aug. 26.] Wo aro fortunately able to interpose a prompt and absolute denial of all Mr. Ould's material statements of facts, coming from a source at once disinter ested and unquestionable. Brigadier- General S. A. Meredith, whose military record during the war stands deser vedly high, and who is now sojourn ing in our city, was for many months on duty near Rfehmond as United States Commissioner for the exchange of prisoners. He was in constant com munication with Mr. Ould in regard to this very business. The official corres pondence between them is now before us, and fully corroborates what Gen oral Meredith says. Up to the time when ho was relieved by General But ler, and ordered to another field of ser vice, General Meredith speaks of his own personal knowledge. Since that time ho has had a very natural inter est in the subject, and has kept him. self thoroughly posted. He voluntar ily furnishes us with the following statement, which, to our mind, very offeetually demolishes Mr. Ould's state ment, and convicts him of partisan du plicity, if not of absolute falsification : GENERAL MEREDITH'S STATEMENT Editors Buffalo Commercial Adverti ser attention has been called to a sensation story published in the Now York World, entitled "A Terrible Rev elation," purporting to be a statement of Robert Ould concerning tho ex change of prisoners. Wore the matter not so serious, the reasons given by this noble patriot for publishing his ro mance might be considered the best joke of the season, to wit :—"To cor rect the many misrepresentations of the late Confederate authorities in re lation to prisoners," and "that ho fools it duo to the truth of history, to bring the facts set forth to the attention of the country." When an unrepentant traitor like Robert Ould has the unblushing impu dence to attempt to impose on North ern freemen hisvindication of the "truth of history," as connected with the late rebellion, or the treatment of our sol diers, intentionally starved and slaugh tered in rebel pens, I also feel it in cumbent on me (as ho remarks) to "make a statoment." The first interruption of the cartel was caused by Jeff. Davis' message to the rebel Congressi-Jannary 12, 1863, wherein he announced his determina tion to deliver all officers of the United States captured after that date, to the State authorities, to be dealt with ac corning to tho laws of those States, providing for the punishment of crim inals engaged in inciting Servile insur rection." That is, our officers captur ed in battle wore to be handed over to the State authorities to be hanged. The second difficulty occurred in re lation to negro troops, and tho officers commanding them, whom the Rebel authorities promised to treat in the same manner, but without taking the trouble to deliver them to the State authorities. In many instances no quarter was granted to that class of troops, or to the officers commanding them. Some wore executed without trial, though that mere form would not have benefitted them in the slight est degree. When, in August, 1863, I demanded that negro troops and their officers should be treated as other prisoners of war, and exchanged, this "vindicator of the truth" peremptorily declined, with this remark :--"We (the rebels) will die in the last ditch before giving up the right to send slaves back to slavery." Another cause of tho suspension of the cartel was its constant violation by the Rebels, in making illegal declara tions of exchange, for the purpose of putting men into the field; and there is no doubt whatever that all prisoners paroled by the United States authori ties were immediately returned to ac tive duty in the Rebel army. Many officers and men captured at Vieks burg were in the battle of Chickamau ga. Thus the Rebels were making use of our well-conducted prisons as recruit ing depots for their army. Another insuperable obstacle to re turning exchanges was in the matter of paroles. Mr. Ould had some eigh to.m or twenty thousand which bo claimed as valid. Most, it not all, of these paroles were taken by guerillas, buShwhackers, and detached com mands in the West. No possession was over had, no delivery was over made, and no rolls were over furnish ed. On the capture of a. town by a Rebel cavalry raid, the. command re mained long enough to take the parole of unarmed citizens there ; and then decamped, leaving the paroled mon behind, and forwarding the paroles to Richmond. And the Rebels had the assurance to require the United States Gov - eminent to exchange prisoners legitimately captured in battle for such paroles as these. On the 25th of November, 1862, I offered to send immediately to City Point 12,000 or more Confederate pris oners to be exchanged for Union sol diers confined in the South. This prop osition was distinctly and unequivo cally refused by Mr. Ould. And why ? Because the damnable plans of the Rebel Government in relation to our poor captured soldiers had not been Jul. ly carried out. Let Mr. Ould leave the truth of history to take care of itself, and vindicate, if he can, the intention al, premeditated, and barbarous treat ment by the Rebel authorities of our soldiers in the Rebel prison pone. When in 1861 the hellish plan wag al most consummated, and they held as prisoners thousands of iOatilBolllo lot hid ounfilnt3 that then his PIILLADELPIIIA, PA -PERSEVERE.- THE TRUTH, emasculated Government was willing to lot the United States authorities bury its dead, in exchange for a fresh and healthy army of 60,000 men, to be immediately put in the field against General Grant. To conclude, Messrs. Miters, these and these alone were the causes which prevented the exchange of prisoner; and these causes were in operation un til the close of the war. The difficul ties in the way were insurmountable, and were so looked upon by the United States authorities. General Grant had no more power to overcome thorn than ony officer Who preceded him. He took the only means in his power to effect the release of our prisoners, and in 1865 succeeded in accomplishing his purpose, much to the disgust, no doubt, of such patriotic vindicators of the "truth of history" as Mr. Robert Ould. Yours, very truly, S. A. MEREDITII, Late Brigadier-General and United States Commissioner for Exchange of Prisoners. Buffalo, Aug. 25, 1868. A southern Opinion of Northern Dbm- ocrats. When the Charleston Mercury prin ted the annexed picture of the North ern Democracy, its managers felt quite sure that the party which it thus ma ligned, would swallow any amount of abusive denunciation, if sugar-coated with an expectation of rec Overing lost power. What do our German and Irish voters think of the character thus given to them by their brother Demo crats at Charleston ? Read ! Our women are all conservative, moral, religious and sensitively mod est, and abhor the North for its infi delity, gross immorality, licentious ness, anarchy !Ind agrarianism. Ms they and the clergy who lead and di rect the disunion movement. It is a gross mistake to suppose that Aboli tion alone is the cause of dissension between the North and the South. The Cavaliers, Jacobites and Huguenots, who settled the South, naturally hate, contemn ai.d despise the Puritans who settled the North. The former aro master races—the latter a slave race, and the descendants of the Saxon serfs. We aro tho most aristocratic people in the world. Pride of caste, and col or, and privilege makes every while mau an aristocrat in feeling. Aristoc racy is the only safeguard of liberty, the only power watchful and strong enough to exclude monarchical despot isms. At the North, the progress and tendency of opinion is to pure democ racy loss governmeht, anarchy, and ag rarianism, Military despotisen is far preferable to Northern democracy : agrarianism, infidelity, and free love. Our enemies, the stupid, sensual, ig norant masses of tho North, who are as foolish as they are depraved, could not read the signs of the times, did not dream of disunion, but rushed on as heedlessly as a greedy drove of hun gry hogs, at the call of their owners. They were promised plunder, and find a famine; promised bread, and were given a stone. Our enemies wore star ving and disorganized. The cold, na ked, hungry masses are at war with their loaders. They are mute, paraly zed, panic stricken, and have no plan of action for the future. Better, a thousand times better, to come under the dominion of free no groes or of Gypsies, than of Yankees, or low Germans or Canadians. Gypsies and free negrocs have many amiable, noble and generous traits; the Yan kees, sour.erout Germans, filthy, whis ky-drinking Irish, and Canadians have none. Senator Wade says, and Sew ard too, that tho North will absorb Canada. They are half true; the vile, sensual, animal, brutal, infidel, super stitious Democracy of Canada and the Yankee States will coalesce; and Sen ator Johnson of Tennessee will join them. Bet when Canada and West ern New York, and New England, and the whole beastly, puritanic, "sour crout," free-negro,filthy,whisky-drinlc ing Irish, infidel, superstitious, licen tious; Democratic population of the North become masters of New York,— what then Out of the city, the state of Now York is Yankee and puritani cal, composed of as base, unprincipled, superstitious, licentious, and agrarian and anarchical population as any on earth. Nay, we do not hesitate to say, it is the vilest population on earth. rob PRESERVING CIDER.--When a barrel of cider is tapped it grows hard, that is, more and more acid, un til it gets too hard to drink, if it is kept long on tap. This is occasioned by the air, which fills the cask above the cider as Howes it. is drawn 'out. The air cannot be excluded, :even if • the cask were air-tight, because' the cider will not run from the tap if there is no air to press itont. :lithe cider is exposed long to, air, it will become vinegar.: In fact, tbo way.to make vinegar of eider is to exposo.it to the air as much as possible. To prevent the eider on tap from becoming acid, it is recommend ed, as boon as one or two gallons are drawn out, to• petir into the bung-hole about a half pint of clear sperm oil, or sweet oil if it is preferred. It should be, warm when poured in, and it will spread in a. thin coat over the surface, and keep spreading as the cider is drawn out, and thus exclude the - air, without giving any taste of oil to tho cider. Tho plan of preserving cider is' worthy of farther attention. Wo have faith in it from knowing that oil casks are the best we know of for stor ing eider, imparting no flavor. Sperm oil casks aro more valuable for eider casks than for any other purpose. fE.i'"Uenoral Grant, at tor Iwo n 1.3 , -two yoarm of army lifu, ie 13aid to has' ) nov : or uttorod a proihno word nor had a pursonal quarrel. TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. The Intelligence of Insects and Fishes Ernest Monsalt, a new champion for the intelligonco of animals, has reviv ed the discussion in a book full of facts and inferences which, if not all now, aro to the point. We take an exam ple or two of what the smallest and dullest of them—fleas and fish—can do : There were industrious fleas before our time. Baron Walckenaor (whO died in 1452), saw with his own eyes, for sixpense, in the Place de la Bourse, Paris, four learned fleas perform the manual exercise, standing upright on their hind legs, with a splinter of wood to servo as a pike. Two other fleas dragged a golden carriage, with a third flea holding a whip-on the box for coachman. Another pair dragged a cannon. The flea horses were har nessed by a golden chain fastened to their hind legs, which was never tak en off. They bad lived in this way two years and a half, without any mortality among them, when Walcke neer saw them. They took their meals on their keeper's arm. Their feats were performed on a plate of polished glass. When they were sulky and re fused to work, the man, instead of whipping them held a bit of lighted charcoal over their backs, which .very soon brought them to their senses. But of what useis cleverness with out a heart ? The, flea has strong ma ternal affections. She lays her eggs in the crannies of floors, in the bed ding of animals, and on babies' night clothes. When the helpless, transpar ent larvm appear, the mother flea feeds them as the dove does its young, by discharging into their mouths the con tents of her stomach. Grudge her not, therefore, ono small drop of blood; for you it is nothing hut a flea-bite; for her it is the life of her beloved off spring. While pleading, however, for the flea, we cannot do as much for the bug, though ho is gifted with fuller de veloped intelligence. An inquisitive gentleman, wishing to know how the bug became aware of human presence, trio the following experiment :—.lle got into a bed suspended from the ceil ing without any tester, in the middle of an unfurnished room. Ile then placed on the floor a bug, which guid ed, probably, by smell, pondered the• means of reaching tho bed. After deep reflection, it climbed up the wall, travelled straight across tho.ceiling to the spot immediately over the bed, and dropped plump on the observer's nose. Was this, or was it not, an act °Lintel ligence? Thu Fish belongs to the great Flat head family. The same sort of plati tude which you see in his porson doubtless extends to On whole of his character. You have met him some where in human shape, one of these pale faced wishy-washy gentlemen, whose passions have extinguished all heart and feeling. You often find them in diplomatic regions, and can't tell whether they are fish or flesh.-- , z- But if their mental powers are less de veloped, their term of' existence is more extended. They gain in longev -ity what they lose in warmth of tem perament. Nevertheless, the skill with which the stickleback constructs his nest is now a matter of natural history. Oth er fishes display an address which we acquire only by long and constant practice. Ono fellow with a muzzle prolonged into a narrow tube (which ho uses as a popgun ), prowls about the banks of the tidal rivers. Oa spying fly on the water weeds, he slyly swims u . R till he gets with five or six feet of it. Re then shoots it with water from his probocis, never failing to bring clown his genie. A Governor of the hospital at Batavia, doubting the feet, though attested by creditable witnes ses, procured some of these fish to watch their pranks. He stuck a fly on a pin at the end of a stick, and placed it so as to attract their notice. To his great delight, they shot it with their water-guns, for which he reward ed them with a treat of insects. The pike has proved himself not on ly intelligent, but oven capable—dis believing it who will—of gratitude. "While living at Durham," says Dr, Warwick, "I took a walk ono evening in Lord Stamford's park. On reaching a pond in which fish were-kept ready for use, I observed a fine pike of some six pounds weight. At my approach he darted away like an arrow. In his hurry be knocked his head against an iron hook fixed in a post in the water, fracturing his skull and injuring the optic verve on one side of his' head.— lle appeared to suffer terrible . pain ; he plunged into the mud, floundered hither and thither, and at last 'Aping out of the water, fell on the bank. On examination a portion" of the brain was seen'protruding through the frac tured skull. "This I carefully restored to its place, making use of a small silver toothpick to raise the splinters of bro-• ken bone. Tho fish remained quiet during the operation; when it 'was over ho plunged into the pond. At flit, his sufferings appeared to bp . re: Hayed; but in the course of a few min utes ho began rushing right and left until he again leaped out of the writer. "I called the keeper, and with his assistance applied a bandage to the fracture. - That done, we restored him to the pond, and left him to his fate. Next morning, as soon As I reached the water's edge, the pike swam to meet ITIo quite close to• the bank, and laid his head upon my foot. I thought this an extraordinary proceeding. — Without further delay I examined the wound, and found it was healing nice ly. I then strolled for some time by the side of the pond. The fish swam after me, following my stops and turn ing as I turned.

He swam towards me as before. Lit tle by little he became so tame so as to come to my whistle, and eat out of my hand. With other persons, on the contrary, he continued as shy and wild as over." "Laorosge"--New Rival of Base Ball. Base ball now has its rival—" L acrosse," an Indian game, which has lately become popular outside of abor iginal circles. Its enthneiastic_adher ents claim that it is destined to wipe from the face of America every vestige of base ballism. It commenced at Chi cage and is fast making its way East ward. The sport is far more exciting than that of base ball, for the reason that it requires more players, and greater activity and skill. There aro twelve players on each side. Two flags are placed six feet apart on staffa six feet high, and at a distance of ono hundred and eighty yards two corres ponding flags are fixed. The playing takes place between these two points. A small sponge India rubber ball is used. The object of the players is to drive the ball between the two flags of the opposing sides; and the men are stationed so that this can be done only by great skill and dexterity. To pro tect the goal there is a goal keeper between the flags, who has the defense of the ground, six feet in front of him, on which no - player has a - right to in trude, unlees while in the act of trying to drive the, ball between the flags. Twelve feet from the goal is the "point" man, whose duty it is to keep the ball away; and twelve feet further the "cover-point" man is stationed for alike purpose. Opposite the "point" man is placed ono of the players of the oppo site side, known as the "home" man, whose duty it is to knock the ball be tween the flags if it comes within his roach. The arrangement at the oppo site side of the field is the same.' The fielders are stationed at intervals in the centre of the field. TWo of - these men, whose duty it is to start the ball, aro known as "facers." The instru ment used in this game is known as a. "crosse." It has a slightly curved handle, with a large hook at the end, nearly the shape of a horse shoe. This is covered with tight network, and is used not only to strike the ball but to catch and carry it. The ball having been started from the centre of the field, sixteen men im mediately begin a struggle to drive it to different parts of the field, while four additional mon join the contestas soon•as the ball . approaches One of the goals. None of the players, except the "goal man," is allowed to touch the ball with his hand. The latter can stop its progress with body, hands, or "crease. , " After the ball has been star ted toward one side of the field the ef- fort to stop its further prOgress often becomes very exciting, and frequently causes the players to lose their tem per. The game consists of thre - o pointa out of five, and it frequently requires three or four hours to play it in. Many tricks and cunning devices aro resorted to for the purpose of putting the ball between the antagonists' flags. , BURNING THE DEAD.—A letterirom Japan says : The burning of the dead is largely practiced among the Japan me,' and of the thirty-five different forms of worship practiced equally false—but two demand burial in preference to incremation. biy ac quaintance with their mode of-burying the dead is limited to two - funerals, which casually came before my notice. On ono occasion I was returning,frem a walk, and my path led beside one of the little cemeteries near Kobt, in which a small party was gathered. It was the hour_of sunset, a fitting time for an event of tender sorrow. -The mourners were dressed entirely in white, which contrasted with - the gau dy robes of a small group of priests.— The corpse, in its enclosure, lay upon a bier, and an" offering of green rico and.of flowers - was made as•though to the manes of the dead. Then came the beating of-bells and the clang of cymb.als. The receptacle. which,con taiued the , corpse was shaped like a half-barrel, :unclip this the dead was placed in a sitting posture and - all va cant planes were filled with combusti bles The friends now all 'gathered round it and commenced a low, plain. tive chant, so monotonous that -it seemed merely the repetition 'of a name, which I suppose to have been that of one -of their deities. They then separated, and Only a few re. mained to attend to 'the final service. The receptacle or coffin - was placed over_ a stone trough and covered with a heap of fuel. All gathered,in a close "circle, and the nearest of kin,(in this instance a wife) applied the Ural, and ras thaflames ascended the monotonous chant and the sound of cymbala Were renewed in Mournful concert. ExCesSive grief was - decently re- Strained, except in the case of a little boy about ten years,' who wept pite- ously, and was taken aside-to be com forted. The group broke, and-ono af ter the other departed, leaving 'the wife above referred to alone, the imago of sorrow, and unable to tear herself from the ashes of her husband. .
