Where IWien the Reansnalbllltr for tha An- dcreonvllle Horrors Kent To the American People : Intending to leave tbc United States for some time, I feel it my duty before I start, to fulfill, in part, a proraiso which, a few hour before bis death, I j;ave to my unfortunate cliont, Cap tain Wins, who wag executed at Wash- npton, on the 10th day or November, lo5. Protesting up to the last mo nent his innocence of those monstrous crimes with which he was charged, be received my word that, having failed to save him from a felon's doom, I would, as long as I lived, do every thing in my power to clear bis mem ory, i did that the mom reauny, as I was then already pcnectiy convinced that he suffered wrongfully. Since that time, bis unfortunate children, both here and in Europe, have con stantly implored me to wipe out the terrible stains which now cover the name of their father. . Though times do not seem propitious for obtaining full justico, yet, considering that man is mortal, I will, before entering upon a perilous voyage, perform my duty to those innocent orphans and also to myself. J. will now give a brict statement oi the causes wiucn leu to tue arrest arm , i ,i i j execution of Captain Wira. In April, 18G5, rresidcnt Johnson issued a pro clamntion stating that, from evidence in the possession of the "Bureau of Military Justice," it appeared mat. Jefferson Davis was implicated in the assassination of President Lincoln, acd for that reason the President of fered a reward of 1100,000 for the cspture of the then fugitive ex-Presi-deut of the Southern Confederacy. That testimony has since been found to bo entirely lalso and a mero fabri cation, and the suborner, Conovcr, is now under sentence ia the jail of this city, the two perjurers, whom be sub orned, having turned States evidence against him, whilst the individual, by whom ho was suborned, has not yet been brought to justice Certain nigh and influential enemies of Jefferson Davis, cither then already- aware of the character of the testimo ny of those witnesses, or not thinking thcirtestimony quite sufficient to hang Jeff. Davis, expected to find tho want ing material in the tcrriblo mortality of Union prisoners at Andersonville. Orders were issued accordingly to ar rest a subaltern officer, Captain VTirr, a poor, friendless and wounded pris oner of war, (he being included in the surrender of General Johnston,) and besides a foreigner by birth. On the 7th of May he was plnc.od in the Old Capitol Prison at Washington, and from that timo the greater part of the Northern press was engaged in form ing the man in the eyes ol the peoplo into ninth a monster that it became almost impossible for him to obtain counsel. Even his countryman, the Swiss Consul General, publicly refused to accept money to defray the expen ses of tho trial ! He was doomed bo fore ho was heard and even the per mission to bo heard according to law was denied him. To increnso tho ex citement and give eclat to the proceed ing, and to inflame still moro the pub lic mind, the trial took place under tho very dome of the Cnpitol of the nation. A Military Commission, pre sided over by one of the most arbitra ry and despotic generals in the coun try, was formed, and the paroled pris oner of war, his wounds still open, and so feeblo that he had to recline during tho trial on a sofa, carried be fore the same. How that trial was rnndnctod the whole world knows. The enemies of generosiij and human ity believed it then to be a sure thing to get at Jeff. Davis. Therefore, tho first charge was that fit conspiracy between Wire, Jefferson Davis, Seddon, Howell Cobb, R. B. Winder and a number of others, to kill the Union prisoners. The trial listed fw"hree months, but unfortu nately for the bloodthirsty instigators rot a particle of evidence was pro duoed, showing the existence of such a conspiracy ; yet Captain Wira was found guilty of that charge I Having thus failed, another effort was made On the night before the execution of the prisoner a telegram was sent to the Northern press from this city stating that Wira had made important disclosures to General L. C. Baker, the well known detective, implicating Jeff. Davis, and that the eonlession would probably be eiven to the puMie On the same evening some parties rme to the confessor of Wira, Nov. Father Boy In, and also to me, ono of them liif irming me that a high Lam net officer wished to Bure Wira that if he woulJ implicate Jefferson Davis with the atrocities committed at An dersonville, bis sentence would be commuted. He, the messenger, or whoever he was, requested me to in form Win of this. In presence of Father Bnyln, I told Wira next morn ing whit had happened. The Cap tain simply and quietly replied, "Mr. Srlnde, yoo know that I have always told you that I do not know anything about Jcflerson Davis, II bad no ronnrrtion with me as to wfcat was CLEA11FIELD HSI REPUBLICAN.

Ho likewise denied that he had made any state ment whatovcr to General Baker. Thus ended the attempt to suborn Captain Wirz against Jefferson Davis. That alone shows what a man he was. How many of his defumers would have dono the same ? With his wound ed arm in a sling tho poor, paroled prisoner mounted, two hours later, tho scaffold. His last words were that ho died innocent and so ho did. The 10th day of November, 1805, will in dood bo a black stain on the pages of American history. To weaken the effect of his declara tion of innocence and of the noble manner in which Win died, a tele gram was manufactured here and sent North, stating that on tho 27th day of October, Mrs. Wins, (who actually was nine hundred milos on that day awav from Washington) bad been prevented by that Sluntonian dcv ex machina, Gen. L. C. Buknr, from poi soning her husband 1 Thus, on the same day, when the nnfortunate fam ily lost their husband and father, a cowardly and atrocious attempt was made to blacken their character also. On the next day I branded the whole as an infamous lie, and since then I never have heard of it again, though it cminated from a Brigadier General of the United States army. All those who were charged with having conspired with Captain Wira have since been released, except Jef ferson Davis, the prisoner of the Amer ican "Castle Chillon." Copt Winder was let off without a trial, and if any of the others have been tried, which I do not know, certainly none of them have been hung. As Captain Wira could not conspire alone, nobody will now, in viow of that important fact, consider him guilty of that charge. So much, then, for charge No. I. As to charge No. 2, to wit : Murder, in violation of the laws and customs ol war, I do not hesitato to declare what 145, out of 100, witnesses on both sides declared during the trial that Captain Wira never murdered or kill ed any Union prisoners with his own hands or otherwise. All those wit nesses (about twelve to fifteen) who testified that they saw Captain Win kill a prisoner, have sworn falsely, abundant proofs of that assertion bo ing in existence. The hands of Cap tain Wira are clear of the blood of prisoners of war. He would certainly have at least intimated to me a knowl edge of tho alleged murdor with which he was charged. Iu mist all cases no names of the alleged murdered men could bo given, and where it was done, no such persons could bo identified. The terrible scene in court, when he was confronted with one of tho wit nesses, and tho latter insisting that Win was the man who killed a cer tain Union prisoner, which irritated the prisoner so much that ho almost fainted, will still bo rcmomberod. That man (Grey) swore falsely, and God alono knows what tho poor inno cent prisoner must havo suffered at that moment 1 The scene was depict ed and illustrated in the Northern newspapers as if Wirr hnd broken down on account of his guilt. Seldom has a mortal suffered more than that friendless and forsaken man. Fearing lost this communication will bo too long, I will merely speak of the principal and most intelligent of thoso falso witnesses who testified to individual murder on tho part of Captain Wira. Upon bis testimony . .. . . ii i the Judgo Advocate in ins nnai argu ment laid particular stress on account of his intelligence. This witness pre pared also pictures ot tho alleged cru elties of Win, which woro handed to the commission and are now on record, copies of which appeared at tho time 1U UrilHTII IllUniUH-U swore that his namo was Iclix do la Baume, and represented himself as a Frenchman and a grand nephew of Marquis de I.afnyctte. After having so well testified and shown so much zeal, ho received a recommendation, signed by tho menrhers of the commis sion. On tho ciovcnwi aay oi icio ber, before tho taking of the testimony was concluded, he was appointed to a clerkship in tho Department of the Interior. This occurred whilst one of the witnesses tor the defence ( Duncan) was arrested in open court, and placed in prison before he had testified. Af ter tho execution of Caidain Wirz some of the Germans of Washington recognized in de la Bnumo a deserter from tho 7th New York (Steuben) regiment, whoso name was not de la Bnumo, but Felix Oescr, a native of Saxony. They went to Secretary Harlan, and he dismissed the impostor and important witness in tho Wirz trial on the 21st of November, eleven days after tho execution. Nobody who is acquainted with the Conoyer testimony in consequenco of which tho President of the United States was falsely induced to placo a reward of f 100,0l0 upon the head of an inno cent man. will bo astonished at the above disclosures of the character of testimony before Military ( ommis sions. fr'o much for charge No. II. If from twelve to fifteen witnesses could bo found who were willing to testify to so many nets of murder on the part of Wirz, there must certainly havo been no lack of such who were willing to swear to minor offences. Such was the unnatural state of public mind aeainst the prisoner at that time, that such men regarded them selves, and were regarded, as heroes, tier havinir testified in the manner above described, whilst, on tho other hand, tho witnewes for the defence were intimidated, particularly after one of thcra had boon nrrcstod. But who is responsible tor the many lives that were lost at Andersonville, and in tho Southern prisons f That question has not fully been settled, but history will toll on whose heads tho guilt for those sacrificed heca tombs of human beings is to be placed. It was ccrtninly not tho fault of poor Captain Win, when, in cor.sequonco of medicines having been declared contraband of war by the North, the Union prisoners diod for the want of the same. How often have wo read, during tho war, that ladies, going South, hud been arrested and placed in tho Old Capitol Prison by the Union authorities, becauso some qui nine or other medicines, had been found concoalod in their petticoats ! Our navy prevented tho ingress of medical stores from tho sea side, and our troops repeatedly destroyed drug stores, and even the supplies of pri vate physicians in tho South. Thus, the scarcity of medicines becamo gen eral all over tho South. Surgeon J. C. Pilot writes, Scptcmbor 0, 1H64, from Andersonville, (this letter was produced by the Judge Advocate in the Win trial :) "We have but little more than the indigenous barks and roots with which to treat the numer ous forms of disease to which our at tention is daily culled. For tho treat ment of wounds, ulcers, etc., we have literally nothing, except water. Our wards, some of them, are wild with gangrene, and we are compelled to fold our arms and look quietly upon its ravages, not even having stimulants to support the system under its de pressing influence, the article being so limited In supply that it can only be issued for cases under the knife." That provisions in the South were scarce will astonish nobody, when it is remembered how the war was car ried on. General Sheridan boasted in his official report that, in the Shenan doah Valley alone, ho burned two thousand barns filled with wheat and corn, and all tho mills in tho whole tract of-country; that ho destroyed all factories of cloths, and killed, or drovo off, every animal, even to tho poultry, that could conlributo to hu man sustenance. And thoso desola tions wore repeated in different parts of tho South, und that so thoroughly, that last month, two years after the end of the war, Congress had to ap propriate a million of dollars, to save the people of those regions from actu al starvation. The destruction of rail roads and other means of transporta tion, by which food could be supplied by abundant districts to those without it, increased tho difficulties iu giving sufficient food to our piisoncrs. The Confederate authorities, aware of their inability to sustain their pris oners, informed the Northern agent of the great mortulity, and urgently requested that the prisoners should bo exchanged, even without regard to the surplus which tho Confederates had on the exchange rolls from former exchanges, that is, man for man. But our War Department did not consent to an exchange Tbey did not want to "exchange skeletons for healthy men." Finally, when all hopes of ex change were gone, Colonol Ould, the Confederate Commissioner, offered, early in August, 1MG4, to deliver up all tho Federal sick and wounded, without requiring an equivalent in re turn, and pledged that the number would amount to ten or nllecn thou sand, and if it did not, ho would make ui that number with well men. Al though this offer was mado in August, tho transportation was not sent for hem (to Savannah) until December although ho urged and implored (to use his own words) that has to should be mado. During that very period tho most of tho deaths at Anderson ville occurred. Congressman Covodo, who lost two sons in .southern pris ons, will do well if ho inquires who thoso "skeletons" wero which the lion. Secretary of War did not want to exchango for healthy men. If he docs, ho will hereafter bo perhaps less bitter against the peoplo ol the .south. But has tho North treated her South ern prisoners so well that sho should lift up her hands and cry "anaincma over tho South. Mr. Stanton reports to Congress, July If, l'il, that of Southern prisoners, there diod in the North, 20,430, and of Northern pris oners in tho South, 22,577. What a fearful record ! Over 20,000 of pris oners dying in tho midst of plenty! Mr. Stanton gives tho total number of prisoners in the North at 220,000, and in tho South at 120,040. Suppose ibis to be correct, though this state ment comes certainly from no impar tial source, there died of prisoners in the South, without medicines and provisions, the fifth part, and in the Korth, with medicines and provisions, the eighth part. But in the number of Southern prisoners iu the North are probably included tho paroled prisoners of Leo's, Johnston s and Smith's armies, who never entered a Northern prison. If that bo so, the mortality of Southern prisoners in the North will be even greater than that of tho Federal prisoners in tho South 1 We used justly to procloim in form er times that ours was "tho land of tho free, and the homo of tho brave." But when one-half of the country is shrouded in a despotism, which now only finds a parallel in Bussian Po land, and when our generals and sol diers quietly permit that their former ailvcrsaries in arms shall bo treated worse than the Helots of old, brave soldiers though they may be, who, when the forces and resources oi do in sections were moro equal, nau nei i. .

A noble and bravo soldier never pormita bis antagonist to bo calumniated and trampled upon afl or an honorable sur- , render. Besides notwithstanding tho decision ot the highest legal tribunal in tho land, that Military Commissions aro unconstitutional ; the earnest and ahlo protestations of President John son, and tho sad results of Military Commissions, yet such Military Com missions aro again established, by ro- ccnt legislation of Congress, all over the suffering and starving South. ilistory is just, and as Mr. Lincoln used to say, we cannot escape history. rurltamcal hypocrisy, suit-adulation and self glorification will not save thoso enemies of liberty from their just punishment.

Probably in every ag since the time of poor Adam and Eve'b trouble with their wilful son, tho world has boon supposed to bo near its end on account of tho naughtiness of boys. We confess that, for ourselves, in mo ments of wrath at tho impish perver sity, or of sorrow at the precocious wickedness of noted specimens of American boyhood, we buvo some times been tempted to that supposi tion, and certainly we could not much wonder if Young America furnished more food for the prophet's avenging bears than Young Israel supplied. Yet the world has continued to bo, and generation after generation has risen from petticoats to jackets and trousers, and from jackets and trous ers to coats and pantaloons, without any utter extinction of the line of masculine succession. ' That succes sion will probably be kept up in this hemisphere, and here, as ot old, the folly of youth will, in due time, be enhducd by the wisdom of ago. Our daughters are constitutionally more marked by sensibility, and our sons aro more luarkod by wilfulness. The consequence is that we are more anxious what will happen to our daugh ters and what will .happen from our sons the daughter's sensitiveness ex posing her to receive harm, and the son's wilfulness exposing him to do harm. We aro not wise to quarrel with nature, and we must expect that boys will bo more noisy and mischiev ous than girls ; nay, we may count it a good sign ot a lad rorce ot char acter, if there is a good share of ag gressive fun-loving pluck in his com position.

Evils op Gossip. 1 have known a country society which withered away all to nothing under tho dry rot of gossip only, friendships, once as firm as granite, dissolved to jelly, and then run away to water, only becauso of this: love, that promised a future as enduring as heaven and as stable as truth, evaporated in a morning mist, that turned to a day 8 long tears only because of this ; a father and a son were set foot to foot with the fiery breath of an anger that would never cool again betwoen them, only becauso of this; and a husband and his young wife, each straining at the heated leash which in tho beginning had been the golden bondage of a God-blessed lovo, set mournfully by tho sido of the grave where all their love and all their joy lay buried, and only becauso of this. Great crimes work great wrong, and the deeper tragedies of human hio spring from its larger passions; but woeful and most mournful are the uncatalogued tragedies that, issue from gossip and detraction; most mournful tho ship wreck often mado of noble natures and lovely lives by the bitter winds and dead salt waters of slander. So easy to say, yet so hard to disprove throwing on tho innocent all tho bur den and the strain of demonstrating their innocence, and punishing them as guilty if unablo to pluck out the stings they never see, and to silence words they never hear gossip and slander aro tho deadliest and the cm elesl weapons man has forged for his brother's hurt.
