[For the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. J THE BIBLE AND SHAKESPEARE: A TER . CENTENARY SONNET. [BY CHAS. J.

So, Shakespeare, whom the nations love and praise; But greatness, goodness ever have their crosses: The few have always scrutinized his lays; the many, judging from his acted plays, And dwelling on the multifarious glosses, Ne'er feel the poet's might—the skimmer's losses. PHILADELPHIA, April 23d, MC THE FORT PILLOW MASSACRE GRAPHIC STATEMENT BY AN EYE-WITNESS ORBIBLE ATM/C.IIIES OE THE REBELS [From the St. Louis Democrat of April 22d. ] Ldward B. Benton, a citizen, resident of Fort pillow. who was present at the inhuman massa cre by the rebel troops under Forrest at Fort .Pil low, was examinea at Department Headquarters On Tuesday, by Major Bond, A. D. G. The testi mony was taken by William Thorpe, Esq., pho nographic reporter, of this city, and is as follows: 1 was born in Waltham, Vermont, Question. Where have you resided last Answer—l was in Missouri, engaged in furnish ing beef to the Government troops on the North JY.Lissouri road until a year ago last July. I then vent down to Fort Pillow, and have been there ever since. L Q. What was your business there? I A I owned 215 acres of the fort, bordering on the river, and the very land we fought on. 1 was puttingin a hundred acres of cotton just onts,de of the fortifications, which was my principal business Q. 'Von lived outside the fort? A. Yes, sir; I slept there. I was in the fort every day. It was only about a mile from the landing— ot a mile from the fortifications. =EI Q. Just say when you saw Forrest's men— about the day and the time of day, and what you didl A. On Tuesday morning, the 12th of this mouth, I was awakened by about five o' clock, or half 'ast five o' clock, by a little darkey boy, who came into my room and says. "Oh, Air. Benton, all of Forrest's men have come, and they are just going into the fort to take it—what will Ido I got out abed and looked out of the window towards tne fort and saw about three or four hundred of For rest's men -drawn up in line and some one was risking a speech to them, which was answered by cheering. They cheered and then the pickets fired. 1 put some things in my valise and started for. the fort in my roundabout way, and got in by running the pickets, about six o' clock, and went imme,4l - to Major Booth and asked for a gun, and teak may stand with the soldiers inside the breast works, where I remained and shot at every person of For rests' men that I could get a chance—firing forty eight shots in all—until the flag of truce was Sent in. BILANEFUL CONDUCT UNDlir. A FLAG OF THUGS. Q. What was the time of day it came in A. It came in about two o' clock; .T. should think About half-past one or two o'clock in the alter noon. Q. Had they made any attack then ? A. Oh yes, sir. Q. Had- they tried to carry the fort by storm Sind been repulsed? A. Oh yes sir. At one time the Confederate troops bad all disappeared. Q. Were four hundred all there werel A. Those were all I saw there, this was when they first made their appearance when I first saw this lour hundred. After getting into the Fort we saw more than a thousand coming in at the differ. ent passes, and the sharpshooters were stationed on every hill on every side of us, except the river side. Q. Do you recollect how many attacks they made to carry the Fort before the flag of truce Came? A. We fled twice.. It is not proper to be called fin attack. Q. Did they use artillery? A. Yes, sir. They could not hurt us with that. they shot at the gunboat. Q. When the flag of trnce came in did they make any disposition of their troops around the Fort there 7 A. Yes, sir. After the flag of truce was sent, and the firing ceased, they came up on all sides to Within ten yards of the very embankments that screened us. Q. While the flag of truce was waiting ? A. Yes, sir, more especially the northern side— just unoer the bank lookingtoward Coal creek. Q. Row long 'was that flag inside our lines A. One hour was the time—l suppose it was all --Of an hour. Q. Do you know the nature of it? A. It was for an unconditional surrender. Q. It was refused by Major Booth? A. By Major Bradford—yes, sir—Major Booth had been killed. He asked time to consult with the gunboats, and finally returned, answered that there were none of Havrkins's men there, and he never would surrender. Q. Did' t Major Bradford make any protest against the troops coming up under the flag in that way'? A. I don't know, str. Q,. 'When the Bag went back, did they commence firing again 4 A. Yes, sir Q. Kept it up for how lone A. They commenced firing again, but the firing didn't lest fifteen m'nutes; up to this time there had not been twenty killed on onr side. STRENGTH 01 , THE GARRISON Q. What was the strength of the garrison? A. Five hundred and eighty, I think, just. Q. How many of these were negroes? A. About three hundred and eighty—nearly four hundred; I don't know exactly to a man. Q. How many citizens besides yourself? A. Wrn. W. Cutler, 4f Chicago and a young man by the name of Roblheron; he was a soldier, but in citizen's clothes, and got off on that plea. HOW THE FORT WAS CAPTURED.. Q. The second flag that came in—about how long after the first? . . A. Well, there was no second flag of truce, ex cept the one; there was no firing in the interim. Q. Was there any firing while the first was in ? A. No, sir ; not a single shot was fired on either side. After the flag of truce had been rejected. or the surrender.rejected. they were so close to the Sort that about three hundred just sprung rignt in, and the whole garrison threw down their arms at once. The bigger portion of the darkies jumped down the bank towards the - Mississippi river, - "without any arms at all, and were followed by Forrest' s men, and shot indiscriminately, black and white, with handkerchiefs held over them in a great number of instances—as many as fifty, should think. yon THH PRISONERS. Q. Did see any of these persons formed in line and shot down'? • A. Yes, sir. ~ Q. How manyl A. They were collected, at tast I should think, 'llveor six different times. Q. How long a line? A. Well, it was more in a collection than it was properly in a straight line. There was a line pro bably as long as this room—about thirty or thirty five feet. Q. These lineswere scatteredby rebel sliJts eeye lal A. Yes, sir. Q. These men were unarmed? A. Unarmed. No arms of any description, and held up both hands, begging for quarter. Q. .Were you put in the line? A. No, sir, I was not. It was attempted to put Me in line, but I clung to a man who tried to shoot me, and I caught his gun and prevented him, and he took my money from me—some seventy dollars— and ordered me into line, raising his gun to strike Me; and as I came to the line, the Captain made a feint to strike me with hiss word, and told me to give him my pocket book, which I did, but, as he turned to put in others, I sprung away and clung close to this man that had first taken my money. I said to him that he had taken all the money, and be must keep me from being shot like a dog, as 1 Was a citizen, and had nothing to do with the fight. He abused me in every way by bad lan guage, saying that we had fought them like devils, and tried to kill all of Forrest's men, until We came to the back stores, where he gave me a soldier's coat, and told me to wait a moment until he could step in and steal his share. As soon as I was left I took some clothing. a sad dle, a blanket and a halter that were there, and ;darted out of the fort as one of Forrest's men. On the way I saw three persons shot—mulattoes and blacks—shot down singly, in cold blood. I suc ceeded in getting over the fortifications and hid under fallen timber, where I remained until dark. After dark I attempted to go towards Hatchie river bottom, but the fallen timber being so bad I got lost and wandered near the pass No. 2, leading out of the fort, inside of it, where I could see all, 'where I laid-until the next day,about two o' clock. /heardfifty-one or two shots fired singly at different times within the fort during that time, and screams and Cheers. mooreourrns ,ON THE TEAM. About two o' clock the dogs were getting so clone to me that I knew they were on my track, Q. What do you mean by “the dogs 7" A. Bunting out people everywhere. They have dogs. Q. They had bloodhounds 7 A. Yes, sir. I left the most of my clothing and hastened down a ravine in the timber, and kept on through the ravine till I came toothe Coal Creek bottom, some mile and a half, and swam across. I finally succeeded in getting to the island. I had to swim across the river and a bayou. That is all I saw. BIIENINII THEIR PRISONERS. oh, I was their at the fort two days after the battle, and saw the remains of burnt persons; helped to bury one of the dead that I saw shot in cold blood,' lying right where he was left, and saw many of them, white and black, all buried together, and a number three days afterwards not buried. Q. How many did you see shot in this way? A. I should think probably about two hundred. Q. It was an indiscriminate but3laery, was hi A. Yes, sir. There were about fifteen or twenty. E. 11 lay clese in a pile, huddling close together, sl.ot after they were wounded. WOUNDED SOLDIEBE SIIST BEGGING FOR QUARTER. Q. Some white soldiers shot alter they were wouadedil • A. Yes, sir, With the hospital flag flying and they holding white hs nd kerchiefs over their heads. I saw at least ten soldiers shot individually, with white bar clerchiefs over their heads. They tore off pieces of their shirts—anything they could ga g. You say these men were shot in hospital, with flag flying'? A. Yes, sir, lying right down 'tinder it—not up 'making at all. Every man lying near me was killed—lying elose to me and on me. Two lay un der, because they kept piling right up on top close under the bank. It was just down under the brow of the hill. A great many lying in the water were slot. Trees that were lying one end.ia the water and the other on the shore they would just go over on the other side of these and hide, and the rebels w,4lci go over and shoot them.• Q. Your citizen's clobtlies saved you! A,. Yes, sir. I told them that I had nothing to do with them. They robbed every citizm, and took oil all their clothing. Q. How ranch did they take from you? A. Seventy dollars. Q. You say you were robbed twice? A. Yes; once by the captain of the company and once by the private. I carry my money in my vset pocket always, and had my pocketbook In my pocket with notes in it. (.t. That was what you gave to the zap tain, wasn' t it? A. Yes, sir Q. And severity dollars in money to the soldier? A. Yes, sir; he asked, "Give me your money,'' and bie other asked for the poeket-book. A SYM'ATIIIZEI: TIIEEID EY DOGS. st - , Q. You say they had blood-houuds; did you tee an v of them? A. Yes, sir; , and not only I, but others, saw' them. One other—Mr. Jones—was treed by them, maul stayed there a long time. Q. What Jones was that? A. I don't know his given name. He lives on Island 31. I can find out hit name. He is no: any 'too good a Union man, but he is rather Southern in his feelings. 4, State about Bradford's death—when he was shot, and what was done: Was he wounded be fore the surrender? A. No, sir, but it was reported by very reliable persons that Bradford was shot and hung near Covington, in Hachie river bottom.. it. Who told you this ! A. This same Jonas, and there were some darkies came on to the gunboat and said that. Darkey evi dence is very correct- there. You miLht not think it worth while, to take the evidence, but it is a great deal more to be relied upon than the Southern evidence there. I may state I was inquired atter by a large number of officers, and it was mud they would hang me on a Hag pole there. Q. What fur A. From the fact that I employed Government darkies from Colonel Phillips, al Memphis. Q. On your plantation A. Yee, sir, and they shot all my horses unfit for cavalry. SAVAGE TREATIFEET or tintth.O.t.S. Q. Did they shoot your darkits ? A. I understand they did, and burned them all. I understand they took one yellow woman and two or three boys escaped that I tried to take to the fort with me in the morning to help light. The balance, •a darkey, whose name I do not know, said they were killed and burned in the house. Q. You_didn't go back there then I didn't go back there : that Is only what is told me. It was told to persons that were hid right near, and I saw persons bury the bodies after they were burned. Q. Where ? A. In the fort,. sir Q. Burned in the housein connection with the Fort buildings ? A. Yes sir, and out on timber. There was a large number of them buried in the building, but they bad been buried the day before. Q. You say there were five hundred and eighty en, you think, in the fort ? A. Yes, sir. Q. How many do Ton suppose escaped' A. Well, I know there wore more than a hun dred. As they marched. ont there. surrounded by the other troops, I would not think there wEre filly of them. IPEGILOVI nrniED ALIVE There are five darkies in Cairo hospitals who ive•e buried alive. Two of them have died since they got there. Q. Did you see any of those men buried alive? A. No, I didn't, but they are facts that cau be easily proved by the darkies themselves and thoide who saw it done, and caw the llnartermastei burned too.

I was obliged to get up as often as ten or twelve times during the night, and in live mouths I lost about fifty pounds in weight. During the month of July, 1241, I pro cured two bottles of Constitution Water, and in two days after using Lt I experienced relief, and atm taking two bottles I was entirely cured; soos alter regaining my usual good health.

I called a physician, who at tended her three months, when he left her worse than be had found her. I then employed one of the best physicians I could Lind. wno attended tier for about nine months. :Ind while shb was uncle' nis care she did not suffer quite as 'much pain. kle finally gave her up and said, her case was in curable.

Dr. W. H. Gregg—Dear Sir—Having seen your advertisement of " , Constitution Water," recom mended for inflammation of the Kidneys and Irri tation of the Bladder, having suffered for the past three years, and tried the skill of a number of phy sicians with only temporary relief, I was induced to try your medicine. I procured one bottle from your agents at Hartford, Messrs. Lee, Sisson & Co., and when I had used half of it, to my sur prise I found a great change in any health. I have used two bottles of • it, and am where I never ex pected to be in my life, well, and in good spirits.
