A STARTLING REVELATION. THE EXCHANGE OF 'PRISONERS Statement of Robert Onld. Esq Gen. Grant Responsible for all the Hor rors or Andersonville. Butler's Testimony on File (trent Orders no Exchanges to be Made A Full llLatory of the Exchange of C==l RICHMOND, VA., August 17, 1869. To the Editors of the National Intelligencer GENTLEMEN :—I have recently seen so many misrepresentations of the action of the late Confederate authorities in relation to prisoners that I feel it due to the truth of history, and peculiarly incumbent on me as their agent of exchange, to bring to U. o at tention of the country the facts set forth in this paper: The cartel of exchange bears date July 22d, 1862. Its chief purpose was to secure the delivery of all prisoners of war. To that end, the fourth article provided that all prisoners of war should be dis charged on parole in ten days after their capture. From the date of the cartel until the summer of 1883 the Confederate authori ties had the excess of prisoners. During that Interval deliveries were made as fiestas. the Federal Government furnished trans portation. Indeed, upon more than min oc casion I urged the 1 ederal authorities to send increased means of transportation. It has never even been alleged that the Con federate authorities failed or neglected to make prompt deliveries of prisoners who were not held under charges,. when they had the excess. On the other hand, during the same time the cartel was openly and notoriously violated by the Federal authori ties. Officers and men were kept in con finement, sometimes in irons, or doomed to cells, without charge or trial. Many officers were kept in confinement even after the notices published by the Federal authorities had declared them exchanged. In the summer of 1863 the Federal au thorities insisted upon limiting exchanges to such as . were. held in confinement on either side. This I resisted, as being in vi olation of the cartel. Such a construction not only kept in confinement the excess on either side, but ignored all the paroles which were held by the Confederate Gov ernment. These were very many, being the paroles of °dicers and men who bad been z eleased on capture. The Federal Gov eminent at that time held few or no pa roles. They had all, or nearly all, been surrendered, the Confederate authorities giving prisoners as equivalents for them.— Thus it will be seen, that as long as the Confederate Government had the excess of prisoners, matters went on smoothly enough ; but as soon as the posture of al fairs in that respect was changed, the car tel could no longer he observed. So, as long as the Federal llovernment held the paroles of Confederate officers and men, they were re Tected, and made the basis or an exchange; but when t qui talents were obtained for them, and no more were in hand, the paroles which were held by the Confederate authorities could not be recog nized. In consequence of the position thus assumed by the Federal Government, the rtquirement of the cartel that all pi sneers should be delivered within ten days was practically nullified. The deli ve, ies which were afterwards 'node were the results of special agreements. . . The Confederate authorities adhered to their position until the 111th of August, 1004, \ram, moved by the sufferings of the men in the prisons of each belligerent, they de termined to abate their just demand. Ac cordingly,on the last-moed day, I address ed the following communication to Brigs dierCeneral John E. Mulford, (then Majur,) Assistant Agent of Exchange: RICHMOND, August LO , 180-I. Major John E. MuVora, da.risGUJ dg•o( of Le change. , Sin: You have several times proposed to me to exchange the prisoners respective ly held by the two belligerents—onicer for officer, and, man for man. The sonic offer has also been made by other officials having charge of matters connected with the ex change of prisoners. This proposal has heretofore been declined by the Confederate authorities, they insist ing upon the terms of the cartel, which re quired the delivery of the excess on either side on parole. In view, however, of the very largo number of prisoners now held by each party and suffering consequent upon their continued confinement, I now consent to the above proposal, and agree to deliver to you the prisoners held in captivi ty by the Confederate authorities, provided you agree to deliver an equal number of Confederate officers and men. As equal numbers are delivered from time to time, they he declared exchanged. •This proposal Is made with the understanding that the officers and men on both sides who have been longest in captivity will be first delivered where it is practicable. I shall be happy to hear from you as speedily as possible, whether this arrange ment can be carried out. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Ro. Our.n, Agent or Exchange. The delivery of this letter was accom pained with a statement of the mortality which was hurrying so many Federal pris oners at Andersonville to the grave. Oa the 2.2c1 day of August, 186.1, not hav ing heard anything in response, I addressed a communication to Major General E. A. 'Hitchcock, United States Commissioner of Exchange, covering a copy of the foregoing letter to General Mulford, and requesting en acceptance of my propositions. No answer seas ever received to either of these letters. General Mulford, on the 31st ' of August, Mil, informed me in writing that he had no communication on the sub ject from the United States authorities, and that he was not at that time authorized to make any answer. This offer, which would have instantly restored to freedom thousands of suffering captives—which would have released every Federal soldier in confinement in Confed erate prisons—was net even noticed. Was that because the Federal officials did not deem it worthy of a reply; or because they feared to make one? As the Federal au thorities at that time had a large excess of prisoners, the effect of the proposal which I had made, if carried out, would have been to release all Union prisoners, while a large number of the Confederates would have re mained in prison, awaiting the chances of the capture of their equivalents. In January, 1804, and, indeed, some time earlier, it became very manifest, that in consequence of the complication in relation to exchanges, the large bulk of prisoners on both sides would remain in captivity for many long and weary months, if not for the duration of the war. Prompted by an earn est desire to alleviate the hardships of com !Moment on both side,,, I addressed the fol lowing communication to Gen. E.A. Hitch cock, United States Commissioner of Ex change, and on or about the day of its{date, delivered the same to the Federal authority: CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, WAR DEPARTMENT, RICHMOND, VA., January 21, 11364. Arai. General E. A ..Hitchock, Agent of Exchange: SIR: In view of the present difficulties attentling the exchange and release of pris oners, I propose that all such on each side shall be attended by a proper number of their own surgeons, who, under rules to be established, shall be permitted to take charge of their health and comfort. I also propose that these surgeons shall act as commissaries, with power to receive and distribute such contributions of money. food, clothing and medicines as may be forwarded for the relief of prisoners. I fur ther propose that these surgeons be selected by their own Governments, and that they shall have full liberty at any and all times, through the agents of exchange, to make reports not only of their own acts, but of any matters relating to the welfare of pris oners. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Ro. Grim, Agent of Exchange. To this communication no reply of any kind was ever made. I need not state Mow much suffering would have been prevented if this offer had been met in the spirit in which It was dedicated. In addition, the world have had truthful accounts of the treatment of prisoners on both sides by officers of char acter, and thus much of that misrepresenta tion which has flooded the country would never have been poured forth. Thejury box In the case of Wirz would have had different witnesses, with a different story. It will be borne In mind that nearly all of the suffering endured by Federal prisoners • happened utter January, 1804. The accept ance of' the proposition made by me, on be half of the Confederate Government. would Prot only have furnished to the sick medi cines and physicians ' but to the well an abundance of food and clothing from the ample stores of the United States. The good faith of the Confederate Govern ment in making this offer cannot he suc cessfully questioned, for food and clothing (without the surgeons) were sent in 1805, and were allowed to be distributed by Fed- oral officers to Federal prisoners. Why could not the humano proposal of January, 1864, have been accepted? When it was ascertained that exchanges could not be made either on the basis of the cartel, or officer for officer, and man for man, I was instructed by the Confederate authorities to offer to the United States Gov- ernment their sick and wounded, w ithout r requirinu any equivalents. Accordingly, in the summer of 1864, I did offer to deliver from ten to fifteen thousand of the sick and wounded at the; mouth of the Savannah river, without requiring any equivalents, assuring at the same time the agent of the United States, Gen. Mulford, that if the number for which he might send transpor tation could not readily be made up from sick and wounded, I would supply the dif ference with well men. Although this offer ,was made in tne summer of 1864, transpor tation was not sent to the Savannah river until about the middle or last of November, and then I delivered as many prfismore as could be transported—some thirteen thou sand in nudiber, amongst whom were more than five thousand well men. More than once I urged the mortality at Andersonville as a reason for haste on the part of the United States authorities. I know, personally, that it was the purpose of the Confederate Government to send off from all its prisons all the sick and wound ed, and to continue to do the same, from time to time, without requiring any suave lents for them. It was because the sick and wounded at points distant from Georgia could not he .brought to Savannah within a 4 reasonable time that the five thousand well —) men were substituted. Although the terms of my offer did not regalia, the Federal authorities to deliver any Mr.the ten or. fifteen thousand 'which I ANdA AVER WEVAIKLYLIN -I LNELIGENIC T EIPW-I.ID - NESTIATINVAIRTIIST_ I 28;' 1868. , . promised, pit some three thousand sick and wounded were delivered by them at the mouth of the Savannah river. I call upon ovary Federale and Confederate officer and man who saw the cargo of living death, and who is familiar with the character of the deliveries Made by the Confederate au thorities, to bear witness that. none such was ever made by the latter, even when the very sick and desperately wounded were alone requested. For, on two occasions at least, such were especially asked for, and particular request was made for those who were so desperately sick that it would be doubtful whether they would survive a re moval a few miles down James river. Ac cordingly, the hospitals were searched for the worst cases, and after they were deliv ered they were taken to Indianapolis, and there photographed as specimen prisoners. The photographs at Annapolis, were terri ble, indeed; but the misery they portrayed was surpassed at Savannah. The original rolls showed that some thirty-five hundred had started from North ern prisons, and that death had reduced the number during the transit to about three thousand. The mortality amongst those who were delivered alive during the following three months was equally fright ful. But why was there this delay between the summer and November 'in sending transportation for sick and wounded, for whom no equivalents were asked? Wore Union prisoners made to suffer in order to aid the photographs " in firing the popular heart of the North ?" In the summer of IS&4, in consequence of certain information communicated to me by the Surgeon General of the Confederates States as to the deficiency of medicines, I offered to make purchases of medicines from the United States authorities, to be used exclusively for the relief of Federal prisoners. I offered to pay gold, cotton or tobacco for them, and even two or three prices, if required. At the same time I gave assurances that the medicines would be used exclusively in the treatment of Fed eral prisoners; and moreover agreed, on behalf of the Confederate States, if it was insisted on, that such medicines might be brought into the Confederate lines by the United States Surgeons, and dispensed by them. To this offer I never received any reply. Incredible as this %pears, it is strictly true. Gen. John E. Mulford is personally cog nizant of the truth of most, if not all the facts which I have narrated. lie was con nected with the cartel from its date until the close of the war. During a portion of the time ho was Assistant Agent of Exchange on the part of the United States. I always found him to be en honorable and truthful gentleman. While he discharged his duties with great fidelity to his own Government, ho was kind, and, I might almost say, ten der to Confederate prisoners. With that portion of the correspondence with which his name is connected, he is, of course, familiar. Ile is equally so with the delivery made at Savannah, and its attending circumstances and withthe otter I made as to the purehase of medicines for the - Federal sick and wounded. I appeal to hint for the truth of what I have written. There are other Federal corrobor ations to portions of my statements. They are found in the report of Major General B. F. Butler to the " Committee on the Con duct of the War." About the last of March, Mil, I had several conferences with Gen. Butler at Fortress Monroe in relation to the attending the exchange of pris oners, and we reached what we both thought a tolerably satisfactory bask. The day that I left there General Grant arrived. General Butler says he conununi (ailed to hint the state of the negotiations, and " most emphatic verbal directions were received from the Lieutenant General not to take any step by which another able bodied man should be exchanged until fur ther orders front hint ;" and that on April he received a telegram from (ion oral Grant, "to receive all the sick and wounded the Conibderate authorities may send you, but send no more in exchange." Unless my recollection fails me, General Butler also, in an address to his constitu ents, substantially declared that he was di rected in his management of the question of exchange with the Confederate anthori ties, to put the matter offensively, for the purgoSe of preventing an exchange. The facts which I have stated are also well known to the officers connected with the Confederate Bureau of Exchange. At one time I thought an excellent oppor tunity was afforded of bringing some of them to the attention of the country. I was named by poor Wirz as a witness in his behalf. The summons was issued by Chip man, the Judge Advocate of the military court. I obeyed the summons, and was in attendance upon the court for some ten days. The investigation had taken a wide range us to the conduct of the Confederate and Federal Governments in the matter of the treatment of prisoners, and thought the time had come when I could put before the world these humane offers of the Confeder ate authorities, and the manner in which they had been treated. Iso expressed my self more than once—perhaps too public ly. But it was a vain thought. Early in the morning of the day on which I ex pected to give my truthful testimony, I re ceived a note front Chipman, the Judge Advocate, requiring me to surrender my subpoma. I refused, as it was my protec tion in Washington. Without it the doors of the Old Capitol might have opened and closed upon me. I engaged, however to appear before the court, and I did so the same morning. I still refused to surrender my subpomit, and thereupon the Judge Advocate endorsed on it these words: "The within subptena is hereby revoked ; the person named is discharged from fur ther attendance." I have got the curious document before me now, signed with the name of "N. P. Chipman, colonel," Ac. I intend to keep it, if I can, as the evidence of the first case in any court, of any sort,where a witness who was summoned for the de fence was dismissed by the prosecution. I hastened to depart, confident that Richmond was a safer place for me than the metropolis. Some time ago a committee was appoint ed by the House of Representatives to in vestigate the treatment of Union prisoners in Southern prisons. After the appoint ment of the committee—the Hon. Mr. Shanks, of Indiana, beirg its chairman—l wrote to the Hon. Charles A. Eldridge and the Hou. Mr. Mungen (the latter a member of the committee) some of the facts herein ! detailed. Both of these gentlemen made an effort to extend the authority of the com mittee, so that it might inquire into the ' treatment of prisoners North as well as South, and especially that it might inquire into the truth of the matters which I had alleged. All these attempts were frustrated by the Radical majority, although several of the party voted to extend the inquiry. As several thousand dollars of the money of the people have been spent by this com mittee, will not they demand that the in vestigation shall be thorough and impartial? The House of Representatives have de clined the inquiry ; let the people take it up. Respectfully, your obedient servant, LINCOLN. STANTON AND FORNEY ENDORSE SEYMOUR. President Lincoln to Gov.

Court Pmeecathcs, Friday Morning.—Court met at nine o'clock ; Judges Hayes and • Libhart pres ent. The trial of the case of Com'th vs. Malt Pugh resumed. The Court dtfi not 'sustain the objection made by benniel for prosecu tion yesterday evening to• the evidence elicited by the cross examination, but stated that said evidence was - adnaissable. The cross examination of Mr. Jackson was therefore again commenced. Mr. Jackson stated that Mr. Pugh's checks commenced to be received at the Inland Bank, this city, about the 15th of June preceeding the time when the defendant obtained the money on the 30th of August; and that all the checks received at the ' Inland " were made payable the same as the two checks for the presentation and non-payment of which defendant was being tried; witness was not in the habit of immediately presenting defendant's checks for pay ment at the Bank on which they were drawn; oa several occasions checks on the First Natimial" Bank .of Lancaster were held over when there was no money to meet them ; checks on the Bank in Phil adelphia were also on one occasion and perhaps oftener held over until defendant met them. On the 31st of August the Union Bank of Philadelphia telegraphed to wit ness that the two checks were protested; witness telegraphed back to said Bank to hold theta without protest. On the day the defendant gave me the two checks be told me the money was or would be in Phil'a for them. The defendant kept no account with the Inland Bank. Mr. Jackson, the witness, stated that it was not customary in the banking business to pay checks drawn on another bank, when the party presenting them had no account with the bank cashing said checks. Witness paid a number of checks for defendant which were not payable at the Inland. These checks were produced by the defense; they amount ed in the aggregate to over $115,000 and were paid at the Inland but were drawn on another institution. The $115,000 had all been paid by the Inland bank to defendant before the two checks were presented; and M r. Pugh had !net his engagements prompt ly up to August 30th, 1867. These chocks were all on the First Nat. Bank of Lancas ter and wore paid either in cash, or by checks on the Third National Bank of Phil'a. The object of the above cross examina• Lion was, that it might be shown by the defence that the two checks given by Mr. Pugh on the 30th of Aug.. 1807, were not given for the purpose of defrauding the Inland Bank, of this city, but were given to, and received by it, as a regular business transaction, and they would have been met by Mr. Pugh had it not have been for sub sequent failures of parties owing Mr. Pugh money. John Haze, Jr., sworn. As book keeperof the Third National Bank of Phila delphia. The Lodger produced by the prosecution in court is the Ledger of said bank, containing the account of Mr. Pugh for 1807. The amount drawn out of the bunk by the defendant on the 29th of Au gust, 1897, was $11,000; the amount remain ing on that day in the bank to Mr. Pugh's credit was $3.31 The whole amount de posited in the bank between June Fith and August 30th, 1007, by Mr. Pugh, the de. fendant, was $153,115.23. After August the 20th the largest amount deposited by Mr. Pugh, and subject to his check on any ,lay did not exceed $4,480. The examination of wi hies. s 11,r proce cution here closed. Friday A . /ten/Dan. —Cott rt metal the usual hour. The trial of the case of Com'th vs. Elijah Pugh, indicted for cheating, resumed. The following witnesses in behalf of the defence were called a short time previous to the ad journment of the Morning session of the Court. Ridgway Gibbs, Aimed : Am Attor ney in fact and business agent of Jacob P. Ridgway, a banker in Philadelphia. I have discounted checks for Elijah Pugh to the amount of $17,000, previous to August 30th, 1867, Mr. Pugh came to us on August 3)th for a discount as usual; wo refused him ; the defendant had no previous notice of our intention to decline accommodating him; Mr. Pugh appeared to be very anx ious to obtain money, Mr. ilunsecker and Mr. Prentiss with whom Mr. Pugh was dealing having failed in business about that time. Mr. Prentiss his since taken advan tage of the Bankrupt act; his only assets were a Sold watch and suit of clothes. The checks offered me for discount by Mr. Pugh were on I'he First Nat. Bank of Lancaster, one of said checks was for 35,800, one for $4,850 and one for $5,780; the checks mere offered August 30th; I refused to cash them. Robert Clendenen, sworn: Am Cashier of Third National Bank of Phil'a ; Mr. Pugh had a largo &mount of business with our bank, he was in thegrain and produce busi ness and dealt with Messrs. Hunsecker and Prentiss who both failed. It is the custom among many men in Mr. Pugh's business to send their checks to the country expect ing to have the funds in Bank when said checks aro presented; said checks are pre sented ; said checks are generally met but frequently are not met. Mr. Pugh bad ac ceptances of Riddle S Co., and also of .T. M. smith & Co. to large amounts ; these tir 31S tailed about August 30th 1867. The defence here read in evidence a Bank rupt notice, dated February 25th 1868, show ing that when Prentiss failed on or about Aug. 30th, 1867, he owed Mr. Pugh 822,- 834 00. Mr. Rathvou, Cashier of First National Bank of Lancaster, testified that between January Ist., 1867, and August 31st., of the same year, Mr. Pugh had deposited in said Bank over $123,000 and t1i1,61 amount was deposited chiefly in cash. n tho doy the two checks were drawn, OA non-payment of which is alleged by prosecution to be fraud, the defendant had not over .53000 in the First National Bank. The testimony of the above witness, Mr. Rathvon, concluded the examination of witnesses for defence. The speeches of the counsel ion behalf of the Commonwealth and-of those engaged for defendant occu• pied nearlY. all of the afternoon session. At the conclusion of their addresses the Court adjourned. Saturday .Morning.—Court met at nine o'clock; Judges Long, Hayes, and Libhart present. On motion of W. W. Brown, Esq., Capt. J. P. Rea and Martin M. Butt were admit ted to practice law in the several Courts of Lancaster county. The Court charged the Jury in the Case of the Com'th vs. Elijah Pugh, indicted for cheating. John W. Krebbs, convicted at the Nov. Term, 1565, on Four Indictments for lar ceny, sent a petition to the court iu which he set forth that he was convicted at Nov. Term, 1861, on Four bills of indictment for larceny, and sentenced in the aggregate to two years and ten months imprisonment, in the Lancaster County Prison, and that one year was inserted through mistake, in each case, making four years in all instead of the two years and ten months for which the petitioner, Krebbs, was really sentenced. The Court read an order directing the Clerk to amend the error so that the reNrds of the Court would conform to the sentence pronounced and show that the defendant was sentenced for only two years and ten months. Ito. GOLD Com'th vs. Samuel M. Miller, complaint desertion. A large number of witnesses were examined In this case. The important matter in dispute between Mr. Miller and the prosecutor, Fanny Miller, his wife, was the custody of a child, a little boy of about three years of age; the Court decided, on hearing the testimony, that the child re main in the custody of Mr. Miller. The Court, also, decided adversely to the com plaint of desertion. The parties in this case all resided in Providence two. Atlee and Reynolds for prosecution ; Dickey and Pyfer for defence. Com'th vs. Win. M. Torbett, complaint desertion. The defendant was accused of deserting his wife, the daughter of the prosecutrix, Mrs. Elizabeth Null, on the 3d of March last, leaving a child in the hands of Mrs. N., her daughter having died in Juno, to be supported. Court gave judgment against defendant, who wee com mitted to prison until the sentence was complied with. REPORT OF (ALAND JURY The Grand Inquest inquiring for the Body of the County of Lancaster, at the August Sessions, 1563 of the Court of Quarter Ses sions of the Peace, report that then have passed upon all the business presented to them, consisting of flfty-nine Indictments, thirty-five of which were found "True Bills," and twenty-four "Ignoramus."— Of the latter class the costs were placed upon the county °I; the prosecutors, accord ing es the testimony satisfied the members of the Grand Inquest that the motives of the pr >secutors worn influenced by malice or public policy. Four reports of Viewers In fuvor of the erection of Bridges in dif ferent parts of the county, were also ap proved ; some of them, however, condition ally—all of which we considered necessary for the convenience and safety of the pub lic—moreover, we are free to express our opinions that the money of the county, when Judiciously appropriated in this way, le not spent or lost, but only profitably in vested in construction for the best interest of the tax-payers. In accordance with cus tom or law we made the usual visit to the County Prison, Poor House and Hospital, and it affords us pleasure in being able to contribute our testimony in approbation of the satisfactory condition in which these sev eral institutions were found, and to all ap pearances managed and maintained. Messrs Senseuig, Spielman and Steinhauser appear to be gentlemen of liberal attainments and fully competent to discharge the duties of their respective situations we would how ever state, that in our opinion, the condition of the Poor House building is somewhat dilapidated and requires repairs; also, that the flying visits made on these occasions by the Grand Jury are not of a character re quired to elicit such thorough information as to enable us, or the public to form a re liable opinion as to the real internal busi ness management and discipline of these institutions. The Grand Jury has experienced some difficulty in the transaction of business during the week, arising from noises caused in dressing stone on the premises adjoining the Court House; if this cause of interrup tion is likely to continue, for an indefinite length of time, to the disturbance of sub sequent Grand Juries and the proceedings of the Court, we would recommend that the matter be investigated in order to as certain what relief can be obtained there from. We would propose to the consideration of the Inspectors of the Prison the propriety of employing a watchman or patrol to stand guard at 'night beyond the outer wall of the Prison, In order to prevent the escape of prisoners therefrom by their own attempt or by aid from without. The attention of the Grand Jury having been called to' the anniiyar(cill occasioned with frequent hiss of - property and occa sional pentonal injury and - loss of life suf fered by travellers in private conveyances, and by persona residing along the line of the railroads in Lancaster county, caused, by locomotive engines, we deem itour duty, to draw the attention of the CourV to -this serious evil ;.an evil for which there appears; no adequate remedy but which in our opinion conld.•be:provided against by afew watchmen in the employ of the railroad stationed at the more promi- - nant crossings of the railroads - with the pal). •• lie highways.- The increase of our popula tion, together with the general busi ness activity of this entire com munity impress upon us the impor tance of this subject and leads us to inquire whether or not there is now any law in ex istence applicable or anfficent to protect us against the injuries inflicted by these pow erial corporations; and if no such law be found, we do most earnestly suggest that the present is a proper time to secure the enactment of one that will in this respect most effectually secure and maintain the safety ofour people from this constantsource of danger. All of which is respectfully sub mitted this 21st day of August, A. D. 1868. S. W. P. Boyd (Foreman) W.A. Mortoii, Geo. A. Boyer, A. S. Dietriet George Heise, Wilson Brubaker, Henry Pownal, Roop, J.

I direct them to pay to the town of Peacham, State of Vermont, one thou sand dollars, the interest whereof at six per cent, to be applied in aid of the juvenile library association, which was formed at the Caledonia county Academy, lithe same is still in existence, and continue to'-pay the same so long as the same continues in active operation. I give and bequeath to the trustees or title-holders of the . graveyard in which my mother and brother Alaru3on are buried, in the town of Peacham, Vermont; five hun dred dollars, to be put at interest peipetn ally, and the interest tobe paid annually to the Sexton, on condition that he keep the graves in good order, and plant' roses and other cheerful flowers at each of the four corners of said graves, every Spring. If either of the said legacies should lapse, the same to go to the support of the Baptist Church or meeting nearest to Danville Cen tre, ray native town in Vermont. . - I direct one hundred dollars to be put. at compound interest, and the aggregate amount to be paid to Thaddeus Stevens Brown, son of John K.

Ste vens, son of Simon Stevens, one thousand dollars, to be put at interest and paid to him by his father when he arrives at age. I give to Mrs. Lydia Smith, my house keeper, five hundred dollars a year during her natural life, to be paid semi-annually; or at her option, she may receive five thous and dollars. She may make her election, and then release all further claims on my estate. Mrs. Smith has some furniture of her own, used in common with mine, some bought with her own money, as well as others, which it would be difficult to dis tinguish. Now, she must be trusted on her honor to take such as she claims, without further proof. I give to my nephew, Captain Thaddeus Stevens, now at Caledonia, my gold watch. I give to my nephew, Captain Thaddeus Stevens, eight hundred dollars a year, to be paid half yearly. If by reason of sickness he need more, at the discretion of the trus tees. None of the legacies, except the an nuities, will be paid for three years, during which time the house I now live in, and furniture and books, will remain as they are, except the miscellaneous books, which may be sold at any time. Mrs Smith may occupy the house the first year, and it son of Morrill. preters to keep house to boarding, he may keep house there with her, or with any one else, during the three years or any part thereof. If at the end or three years, Thaddeus Stevens pre fers some other mode of living, then the trustees shall dispose of said property as they may deem best. While it is occupied by my nephew, lie shall be charged with three hundred dollars a year rent for it.— The property occupied by Mr. Edinger, after adding two feet of the lot in width to the other lot, may be sold. As live thou sand dollars have been uttered fur it, it should not go for less. The Furnace and all other real estate may be rented or sold. The Furnace must not be worked longer than to consume the stock on hand. If at the end of any five years, Thaddeus, nephew, shall have shown that he has totally abstained from all intoxica ting drinks through that time, the trustees may convey to hint one-fourth of the whole property. If at the end of the next succes sive five years, he shall show that he has totally abstained from all intoxicating drinks, they may convey to him one fourth, being one half of the property. If at the end of another consecutive live years he shall show that he has abstained from all intoxicating drinks, they may convey the whole to him, tu fee simple. If he shall get married before the house I live in is sold, he shall receive the same, and occupy it without sale. If the life estate of my nephew, or rather the annuity of said Capt. Thaddeus Ste vens, of Vermont, should expire before he has enabled himself to tecome entitled to the corpus or fee simple of my estate, then I dispose of whatever may remain as fol lows: If the aggregate sum shall then amount to fifty thousand dollars, without which no further disposition can be made, I give it all to my trustees to erect, estab lish and endow a house of ming() for the relief of the homeless and indigent orphans. Those shall be deemed orphans who have lost either parent. I devise twenty thous and dollars to be expended in erecting suitable buildings, the residue to be secured in government securities, bearing not less than six per cent. interest. I wish the buildings to be erected in the city of Lan caster, south of King street, provided suf ficient ground, nut less then two acres, shall be donated therefor. If not, then at the west sid of said street, on seine conditions. If sufficient ground is not gratuitously offered, then I direct it to built be at Columbia.

All theinmates shall be educated in the same classes and manner without regard to color. 'They shall be fed at the same table. The dormatories to be under the direction of the authorities. The trustees shall pro vide an act of incorporation at some con venient time. This I declare to be my last will and testament, and name as my execu tors end trustees, Anthony E. Roberts, 0. J.

RADICAL FIZZLE AT ELIZABETHTOWN.- The Radical leaders in and about Eliza• bethtown have been doing their best to put some lire into the masses of their party in this section, but the masses refuse to re spond to the call. On Saturday night an attempt was made to get up a meeting. Some twenty men and boys, all told, as sembled. A fellow who goes by the name of Dr. Royce, attempted to make a speech, but his alert was a ridiculous failure. W,ho he is and where he came from nobody seems to know. He first made his appear ance in that neighborhood calling himself Dr., but getting no patients he mounted a pulpit and tried his preiatice hand at preach ing, failing in that he took to peddling, and now he turns outs political spouter of the worst pattern and poorest quality. Honest folks about Elizabethtown are wondering where he came from. Is ho a carpet bagger? ARRESTED.—A young man named John Wolf,twas arrested near ,Willow Street, yes terday, on suspicion of having robbed Mr. James Olmstead, of Little Britain township, of from $4O to $5O. After his arrest Wolf confessed his guilt and was committed to the County Prison. The money was taken from the money drawer of Mr. 'Olmstead's store. Wolf' was formerly employed by Mr. John V.
