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

prisoners thousands of iOatilBolllo

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.

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.

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.

"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.

The corpse, in its enclosure, lay upon
