One of Wirz's counsel named Loui- Scliatie, being on the point of going back to his native den in Europe on a visit, and no doubt feeling much braver than lit did at any time during the war, issued ;; lniuifesto in favor of the great brute, iti waich our soldiers, our otlieers, our gov ernment, and people are denounced just as one might expect a Jef Davis bootblack to denounce them. This choice produc tion is very strangely finding its way in to "democratic" papers, among others tin Democrat of May 15. On the trial, num bers testified to his cruelty, but all these men, with thousands of others, are not to be believed, but a bought attorney and foreign scoundrel who came to this coun try to aid the rebels in destroying our government, are all truth ! These efforts of Wirz's counsel, to white wash the memory of the Andersonvillc jailor, has brought out some strong testi mony from an eye witness of his cruelties. Mr. L. J. Perry, of the Waupacea (Wis consin) Criterion, who served as a non commissioned officer in the 2d Wisconsin, in the Army of the Potomac, was taken prisoner, and confined at Andersonvillc writes in his paper as follows: "In the war we had the misfortune to be captured by I he rebels, and served as a prisoner twenty months, during the great er part of which time we were in the hand of the demon whom they (the Democratic papers,) led by Sehade, are making martyr of. During that horrible blank it our life we saw this man knock down ami stump upon sick Union prisoners, who were too weak to get out of his way; wt saw and heard him order a rebel guard t< tire at a group of Union prisoners, whir] order was obeyed, by which meausa Union soldier was maimed for life by the loss or a leg; we saw him once manacle two men together, and then whip one of them with a riding whip, until the man could not stand; we saw four men shot dead, coolly and deliberately, by rebel guards undei his orders, who were murdered without cause; we saw, during the twenty mouths, not less than fifty dead bodies of brotlie. Union soldiers so murdered; we liavi heard Wirz, at Richmond, order, anc even urge his guards to kill every prison er they could, plausibly; we heard him say more than a hundred times that every d —d Yankee prisoner in the South ought to be hung; we know that his watchwords were Kill, Slay, Destroy; and last, but no! least, while those thirty thousand wretch ed beings were literally starving at An dersonville during the" months of July and August, 1804, his expressions of dc moniac delight were often heard. Wt heard him say at that time, if the North could be whipped by starving prisoners, he could put a quietus to thirty thousand in short metre. All this, and numberless other acts convinced us all that lie was a cruel, relentless, bloodthirsty man, ami that hu man suffering and privation were that he lived upon." It is something strange if all these sol diers should tell a series of uniform false lioods respecting the keeper of Anderson villc prison! Democratic Laws. The whipping post and pillory still ex ist in democratic Delaware, and after nearly every term of Court the entcrtain tnent of whipping and pillorying the con victs is afforded the public. From tin- Wilmington Commercial we learn that a number were scourged at New Castle, on Saturday week. The Sheriff lias to in flict the punishment. The prisoner i tied up in a conspicuous place, with his body hare to the waist and his arms pin ioned, when the blows are laid on with a " cat-o-nine-taiis," each blow making nine swelling welts. We copy from the Commercial its account of the whipping of two of the convicts on the occasion re ferred to, there having been seven in all and the performances being similar: "A white convict was brought out, stripped. He was bound to the post, se curely. It was evident the Sheriff was using but little force with his terrible whip. The first blow barely made a mark, but as the successive ones fell, red marks began to appear, livid lines of bruised and mangled flesh were drawn, the muscles rose in knotted cords, and the whole of the naked body showed a livid purple color. Faint and staggering with even his mild treatment (?) the prisoner was covered with an old blanket, untied, and let away. If this was the effect of twenty lashes, lightly laid on, it may be supposed that sixty blows were terrible. The prisoner, Saunders, trembled visibly; his knees tottered and he east a pleading and frightful iook upon the preparations for his torture. We have seen men bear the sight of their gallows with more forti tude, for the fatal swing is but an iusUtnl pain, and there is no lingering degrada tion. In this ease it was evident no sucli kindly favor wielded the cat. Its nine thongs drew each a livid mark at the first blow, and very soon large purple welts, ridges in the flesh, began to appear. A cry of pain involuntarily wrung from the clenched lipsof thesuflerer, followed each lash, and it was evident that everyone grew more and more painful. The nerves twitched, the skin swelled, and though j bruised, did not break, so that the blood j instead of running,-gathered in visible j blotches beneath the surface. Thirty— j Forty—Fifty—Fifty-five—times the man's ' j back has !>eeu struck with the nine scour ges. Fifty-six—fifty-seven—fifty-eight— fifty-nine dxty. The blanket is thrown over the torn body and he is led away." i We venture the prediction that the day Republicans would obtain power in this benighted democratic State the whipping post and pillory would disappear. How ever, if democratic poor men-can stand such treatment from laws made by drunk en Saulsburys, we guess republicans can.

About two weeks ago two brothers, by the name cf Webb, were engaged 01 turkey hunting, on Spring creek, in Early count}', when the unfortunate man, Allan Gay, Jr., together with a Mr Evans, entered the same hammock liroin another direction—also engaged with their fowling pieces in the tur ; key hunt. Both Gay and Webb be i ing experienced in the search for this j valuable game, they were enabled to (imitate the peculiar noise of the tur koy to perfection. The thickness of the under growll> prevented their dis covering each other, and each mistak ing the other for game, cautiously tip preached the decoying noise, lit tic thinking of tlie imminent peril of their respective situations. A portion of Mr. Gay's clothing was at length seen through an opening in the brush wood, and the other, excited with the pros pect of a line haul, instantly fired at the supposed game and ran toward the object in order to get a surer shot when it flew up. But on reaching tiie spot, he found his friend and neighbor shot directly through the throat From the nature of the wound, Mr. G. was unable to talk, hut with pencil and paper told where his horse was, and that lie tho't ho could reach home, which ho did, with the aid of his friend.

First Class Machinery.—We lately paid, a visit to the Foundry and MachineShojis of Reese Slagle in tliis place, and must express our jileusure and gratification at the variety of extensive machinery found there. The hands had just set up the thirty-live horse power Stationary Steam Engine, built under the supervision of Owen it. Da vis, foreman of the shops, for the Freedom Iron and Steel Co. This piece of machinery, so elegant in its con struction, would do credit to a city man ufactory; almost noiseless in its motion, every connection perfect, and constructed ■>! the best material, it cannot fail to give satisfaction. We were particularly struck with two massive castings, one ally wheel used at a lathe, weighing34oo pounds, the oilier a cog, weighing27oopounds, perfect in all their parts. Minerals. —The discoveries of ochre and subsequently of gold quartz rock near Newton Hamilton, has induced many people to look around and examine things they had passed a thousand times without a thought that they might be of value. — | 'l'iie latest discovery was made a few days ago by Jacob Coon, on the tract of land owned by Mr. Buchati, (the old Miller; place above town,) where a spring is evi dently disgorging a white mineral like thick milk, probably containing a large! portion of magnesia. It is to be analyzed. The Middle Creek Railroad—A meeting of the directors was held on Saturday last, at which it was determined to proceed with its construction under the contract made by the late President, Mr. Thomp son. The minority of the Hoard, includ ing the President, it is understood, were in favor of first making a final effort t<> realize the amount of subscriptions which had been determined upon and then hold ing a public letting.

For the Gazette. MARYVII.LK, E. Tenn., May 22, '67. M u. EDITOR: —Since my last, I exam ined the Valley of East Tennessee nine ty miles farther down, stopping oft'at va rious points and taking notes of the country, its soil, minerals, productions, inhabitants, anil general inducements held out to northern settlers. As 1 am seateil here I ran see the long range of the Cumberland- mountains on my tight, extending from north-east to south-west, its numerous peaks resem bling a row of huge hay-stacks, to the tops of which the blue vault of heaven seems gracefully to bend. Five miles south-east, and parallel to the Cumber land, extends the Clinch mountain, whose outline is barely visible over the undulat ing country before me. Between Cum berland and Clinch mountains lies How ell valley, drained by Clinch river. It is as fine a valley as 1 ever saw, if not the finest. Looking toward the south-east I behold the towering peaks of the Alleglia nies, here called Smoky Mountains. They are exceedingly picturesque,-consistingof an irregular succession of peaks rising above and beyond each other, forming numerous little coves or vallies, watered by streams dashing down the steep moun tainsides with mad impetuosity and form ing many beautiful cascades. The breadth of the entire valley between the Cumber land and Smoky mountains is estimated at sixty miles, the whole of which, and a considerable distance north and south may be taken in at one view, but to describe its beauty will require an abler pen than mine. I know not how this view may Strike others, but for myself I must con fess 1 am almost enchanted. The healtlifulness of climate of this country is unrivalled, California and Or egon not excepted. The inhabitants are not subjected to either the rigor of winter or excessive heat of summer. The citi zens assure me the mercury scarcely ever rises above Its degrees during the hottest days. Maryville, the county seat of Blount county, lies sixteen miles south of Knox ville, and in a short time will be connect ed with it by a railroad which is already graded. It was a handsome village be fore the war, of six hundred inhabitants, but now containing but half that number, and lying in a most lamentable condition. What was once a street of fine brick resi dences is now an open common strewn over with debris. It is the seat of Marys ville College, which before the war hail from two to three hundred students. An academy and a female seminary are also located here. Nine miles south of this place and twenty-live from Knoxvilleare Mont Vale Springs—the Saratoga of tiie South. These waters are said to produce astonishing effects upon dyspeptics, and are regarded by prominent men as the must important mineral springs in the United States, if not in the world. The mineral resources of East Tennes see require special notice, which we will give in a future article. SIGMA. / 1 1! Ai lH VEEV IO of all kinds, on hand may2o F. G.
