THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Whatever value, may attach to the tradi
t'.ow,. of the Mot Bon doctrine, it is obvious
it at a very pas•ainnate, it Ltot a very pro
-I.3ent effort, is being made to give r. . n
and comprehensive application at
vv,ent time. The presence of a large
army on the frontier rivers of Texas,
f.mit thither, doubtless, not for warlike or
crzresi•ive purposes by the Government, is
m,eil by the politicians as the basis of a pro
phecy that difficulty with the French in
Mcaiso may be precipitated at an early day ;
and we have a letter of General Pun, SlLE
itir,xii's, who is in command of the army
of Texas, in which that gallant and impetu
ous chieftain makes a very strong pro-Mexi-
Can policy for the President. This letter
was produced at a military dinner in New
Toth yesterday, and is as follows :
Time is no use to beat around the bush in
11. i. Mexican matter. We should give a per
w:anent government to their republic. Oar

the terms of it ; and it will doubtless be

The meeting of the New York adorers

to have heats genuine affair, after all, and
if not huge in numbers, was sufficiently

BEPUDIATION-RECONSTRUCTION
" Occasional " sounds the alarm in his
letter to-day, ex - posing a conspiracy to foist
disloyal members from the South into the
Congress of the United States for the pur
pose of discreditih the national securities,
and ultimately repudiating the national

served the signs of the times, and especially
the frequent recent exhibitions of malevo

"prison," in which our poor Union soldiers
were allowed to_ starve and "rot" by

wildest exaggerations of the cruelties of
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL."
WAsitu GT ON, August 4, 1865
The hopeful condition of our finances,
stated by the Secretary of the Treasury,
is the best news that could be given
to the American people, In other days,
the question of the public debt, and the
manner of paying it, occupied the at
tention of the Committee of Ways and
Means in the House, the Committee of Fi
nance in the Senate, the Secretary Of the
Treasury and his agents, the leading bank
ers and capitalists, and the great manufac
turers of our own and other nations em
ployed in the manifold occupations of skilled
labor. - The number of persons holding our
bonds was comparatively small. But now
the financial condition is the concern of mil
lions. The holders of our national securities
include rich and poor, high and low, the
millionaire and the mechanic, the philoso
pher and the poet, the tinman and the
tailor, the sailor and the soldier, the seam
stress and the statesman. The rich having
invested freely, and the poor litiving confi
ded nearly, if not all, of their substance to
the care and the cause of their country, the
study of the money market has become
as common RS the reading of a morn
ing paper. The spirit that prompted this
exhibition was in the beginning the loftiest
patriotic sacrifice ; and it vitalized and in
vigorated the Government in all its arteries
and nerves, But, at the same time, it cre
ated' a new and a watchful interest, It
united the element of a just regard :for
individual well-being .to that of jeal
ous vigilance over the details of the
administration of government ; and in
this respect, the National Debt, if not
a "national blessing," became au ac
tive and unsleeping auxiliary of the Go
vernment in all its duties. It made the
agent feel that the eye of his principal
was upon him, and the vastness of the
tru- , cave to the principal a fresh obligation
to see to faithful management. Hence
the perfect trust-x._ the midst of oceans
v
of expenditure. The P vin felt that
they were lending their money. the
holiest of missions, that it was being
trustily expended, and would be honestly
and promptly returned. Hence, also, the
success of our arms, the comfort of the
masses at home, who lived, as it were,
on a tranquil island in thehot and bloody
vortex of war, the consequent conquest of
the rebellion, the achievement of peace, and
after peace, the rapid retrenchment in pie
public outlay, and the wise and compre
hensive preparation for a period of economy
and moderate taxation. It was but natural
that the people should learn finance, and
that the "money article" in Tits rums
should be as interesting to many who here
tofore passed it over, as the " marriages
and deaths" are to the good housekeeper,
the poetry to the young lady of the family,
or the politics to the youthful candidate for
the State Legislature. It was natural, also,
that the slightest attempt to depreciate or
discredit our currency or bonds, our five_
twenties or seven-thirties, should be re
sented by thousands and tens of thousands.
For what a savings bank for the laboring
and frugal was in days gone by, the na
tional treasury is now. If that is heal
thy and solvent, and pays its inte
rest promptly, so whole communities are
comforted and in repose. The difficulty of
spreading doubt as to the intrinsic value
and ultimate redemption of these securities
has been increased by this very cause.
The Northern sympathizer with the rebels
—the local Copperheadw. I
to busies himself
in spreading all sorts of panic stories among
the people who hold the bonds of the Na
tional Government—has heretofore found
his avocation a most profitless one. But he
has not been less active for that reason. He
has been constantly on the qui vise. He
seizes upon every text and pretext to excite
dissension and despondency. The present
favorite Copperhead expedient is to demand
the admission into Congress of representa
tives from the late rebel States, elected by such
bitter rebels as lately threw their ballots
in Richmond, Virginia. It is the great
mission of the Democratic leaders. They are
prompted to it by various motives. The
rebel Congressmen will be the nucleus of a
new Democracy, fashioned after the Breck
inridge and Buchanan organizations which
plunged the nation into civil war. They
will help the men who broke the old party,
to resume control in the several Southern
States. These reunited brethren can then
proceed to repeal the war-measures of Con
gress, especially the odious confiscation

THE ASSAULT UPON THE PUBLIC CREDIT
AND UPON THE NATIONAL FINANCIAL SE
CURITIES wrm. miiaric IN TERRIRLE EAR
NEST. There . will be consistency hi this.
The Democratic leaders have been laboring
for four years to bring the bonds and cur
rency of the Government into disrepute.
They have advised their followers to refuse
the currency, and, abovd all,'not to invest
in the bonds. The key-note Was given
given by ,l'ames Buchanan, in 1861, after
he had assisted to deplete the public treasu
ry, to drag down the value of our national
securities, to Make us beggars for loans in the
markets of the world, and to strip the Go
vernment of nearly all her weapons of pub
lic defence and preservation. Under his
lead his intimate friends bought real
estate, rather than trust the Govern
ment;' and at his cue, the Democratic
press rung with sombre prophecies of 'rain
to all who took the national notes, or con
fided in the national bonds. What was
true of him, was true of nearly all the
same school. They fed the hopes of the
foreigners who looked upon our financial
scheme with amazement, and generally
predicted its downfall. The fact that
our debt is owed to the people
alone, and that its repudiation would
bring thousands of happy and industrious
citizens to abject want; produces no
pity in their bosoms. They, therefore,
bail the idea of making an issue upon
the admission of the rebels to Congress:
To the rebels the national debt of the
United states is a most odious sight. They
know it was incurred to crush them and
to abolish slavery. They know that their
confiscated lands will be made to contri
bute to its liquidation. They know that,
while not one Clime of their own debt will
ever be recognized, they will be eoingelled
to help to raise the needed revenue for the
payment of the interest and ultimately of
the principal. They long, therefore., to
get into the next Congress to unite with
their Democratic brethren to vote against
all .revenue or, appropriation bills, and
boldly to raise and fight under the flag'
of Repudiation. The conspiracy has been
duly organized, and involves more ele-
Ments than the people would at present
readily believe. I regard it as the great
peril of the Republic. Thus it is the
duty of all patriots, apart from their own
interests, to be ready to meet it. Under the
most plausible and deceptive theories this
infamous tmanlcl will be made. It has
already conirived to secure the sanction of
what are supposed to be great names, It
contemplates the completest disgrace and
the most astounding repudiation in civil
history. Ido not fear that it will succeed;
because it is only necessary to expose such
a plot to bring it to shame. OCCASIONAL

WASIHNOTON, August 4.
The Andersimville savage Wertz.
From the card of "the counsel for IL %Team,"
in this city, the keeper of the Andersonville
Prison, at Georgia, it would appear that that
13111111129.11 Wretell IS to have a civil trial. In one
view of it I am not sorry, for even before Judge
WymE we must get Some facts to add another
chapter to the volume of proofs of the horrid
cruelties of JEFFERSON DAVIS. I have seen
and heard many of the victims of Anderson
vine, and all, without exception, tell the same
harrowing story. One of the most eminent
surgeons in the regular army, who treated
some Of our poor boys after they were sent
home from that hen of horrors, told me
it was not an uncommon thing to find a
soldier whose feet had dropped off from his
limbs, owing either to imperfect surgery or
brOken bones left uncared for; and that the
dry or carious shank would protrude! In
many othOr cases they came home to linger in
inconceivable tortures, and to die the most
horrid deaths. I was present when a leading
Southern man frankly admitted his inability
to defend the inhumanity practiced at this
post. I also heard a citizen of Pennsylvania
who was a prisoner at Andcrsonville give his
experience. He had escaped, but was retaken
by means Of bloodhounds. The food was so
execrable as to lead to certain death. In the
morning he woke to see himself surrounded
by the corpses of those who had laid moaning
and dying at his side during the night.
I am not one who seeks for vengeance
even against the most guilty; but now,
when there is a cry for the forgiveness of the
whole body of the despoilers of our Country,
the deliberate assassins of our President, the
murderers of our friends and defenders, and
when a party is being made upon the appeal
of mercy to JEFFERSON DAVIS, I demand that
justice should not be lost in this exhibition. of
a iinitity which, eVell if exercised towards the
rebel chief, would only be regarded as a proof
of Iveakness or fear.
4, Commodore" Buchanan.
This man, one of the earliest and worst of
the traitors, is now supposed to be at his farm
in Maryland. lie came to - Fortress Monroe
two days ago, in a Government steamer, from
Mobile. He had the Insolent effrontery tO de
mand a special vessel to carry his precious
carcase. BUCHANAN had command of the navy
yard at Washington when the rebellion com
menced, and staid long enough to get all the
- „ ,:nation he could, when he decamped. He

Mrs. R. E. Lug's get back to Arling

sweet fellows, they do not scrap,. io - nr,k
oaths and betray information confided to
them, and are adepts at using their wives'
clothes or name to save their lives and their
property, and their "sacred honor.”
General Sam Jones.
Among the other rebel worthies now at For
tress Monroe is the notorious General SAM
JONES, the swie who placed our gallant Union
officers and fire at Charleston when the
guns of our fleet and batteries were shelling
the city. That most pious and hUmano hero
also coolly asked a special vessel to convey
himself, family, servants, prop.erty, &c., to the
North, a favor which General GILMORE. politely
declined. Now that we are engaged in trying
to be merciful to the rebels, and seeking ex
cuses for pardoning them, the graceful feat of
General Jowes, i s plaaing the ff madsilla " of
the North under the fire of their own guns, as
a sort of refined retaliation, must not be for
gotten. Probably the General will himself
claim special grace, because, like the keeper
of the Andersonville plague-house, he acted
under orders!
313 y Assodated PreaS,)
The Health of President Jrohnson.
Owing to the continued sickness of Presi
dent JOHNSON, the beads of Departments were
formally notified that there would be no meet
ing of the Cabinet to-day.
The Colored Convention.
The Colored Men's Convention to-day, at
Alexandria, Va., adopted another address,
setting forth the reasons why they are entitled
to all the privileges of freemen. In the course
of a discussion Governor Panneozrr was
roughly censured, and accused of selling out
the =grins at auction when he removed the
sent of his Government to Richmond. A
delegate said that. REIEPONT as the Governor
ought to be respected, when another replied
that no man was entitled to respect who did
not respect the rights of colored men.
An anonymous letter, postmarked Washing
ton, was read, threatening, among other
things, to put the principal leaders of the con
vention under the sod before the falling of the
autumn leaves, if they persisted in their
object. This caused great excitement, and a
fierce debate, but the speakers said they were
not to be intimidated; and finally the letter
was disposed of by throwing it under the table.
The Cholera in Egypt.
Consul General Hale, at Alexandria, Egypt,
in an official despatch to the State Depart
ment, gives a vivid picture of the ravages of
the cholera in that city. There, were 1,755
deaths from June 27th to July 7th. It is esti
mated that 30,000 persons have left Alexandria
since the disease appeared, on the filth of
June, up to July 7th. The most distressing
reports are received from the interior.

excursion among the islands .in the harbor at
9.15 this morning, in the revenue steamer lifa
honing. The party on board is very select,
and limited, The day is pleasant, and the trip
cannot but be delightful to the distinguished
party.
POUTLAND, Aug. 4..—The lilahoning returned
and landed Gen. Grant and party at Atlantic
street wharf at 2 o'clock, whence they walked
to the. Grand Trunk depot through a dense
crowd and cloud of dust, which rendered them
almost indistinguishable, and perfectly dis
gusted. They immediately entered a train of
ears prepared for them, when a portion of the
crowd made a rush for the General's car and
made convulsive grabs at the hand extended
from the window. Without a moment's delay
the train started, and relieved the General,
who appeared on the rear platform and bade
the crowd adieu.
GORHAM, N. H., Aug. 4.—Lieutenant General
Grant and family and several prominent citi

FORTRESS Molter% August 3.—The old frigate
Congress was raised to-day. At half-past eight
o'clock the pumps were set at work on her,
and at ten o'clock slit, commenced to raise,
and by noon six feet of her hull was out of
water. She was deeply embedded in the sand,
and cannot be removed from its banks until

evening. The pumps, in the meantime, will
easily keep her free from water. Mr. Brown,
one of the contractors, immediately tele•
graphed to Norfolk for steam power to tow
the Congress to the dry-dock at the Gosport
Navy Yard. She now draws nineteen feet of
water.
Last evening, at eight o'clock, the steamer
COSSACK put into Newport Fewii for coal, hay
ing on board the Ist Maine regiment 15f Ca

commenced stealing goods from the store Of
Nicholas White, the post sutler at that place,
and before the Cossack left, they had nearly
cleaned out the store, carrying off goods to
tho.amount of about $7,000. The Cossack is at
anchor ab Fortress Monroe, and it is under
stood she, with her troops, will be ordered
back to Newport News to adjust the damages.
The 180 captured gang were sold at auction

any a paroled rebel prisoner, named Miller,
who had induced a Mr. Gregory, proprietor of
the Spencer House, in Louisville, to visit Shel

may be done.
" 1 Naw Yonn, July 26th, 1.835. ,
"The meeting was held at the rooms desig
nated, being those occupied by Carlos Butter
field. There were present at the meeting
Messes. Gideon J. Tucker, Surrogate of this
county, Theodore Martine, Peter Y. Cutler,
Clancy and Douglas, among others. One of
there saidthat Mayor Gunther would attend if
business did not detain him, and - that he was
entirely in union and sympathy with the
Objects of the meeting.
• After some 'delay, it was remarked that it
word be as well to invite their Southern
friends outside to come in. This was done;
several persons entered, after which the doors
were closed. There were now ten men present.
"The object of the meeting was to raise
funds to meet the expenditures to be incurred
in the defence of Jeff Davis. The follOwin„re
committee was appeinted for that purpose: C:
Godfrey Gunther, Mayor of New I ork 5 Carla.
Butterfield, Theodore Martine, Messra. Doug

"A general conversation followed upon the
signification of the trial of Davis. It was, they
all .agreed, the most important trial in the
WOHa'S history. Every lover of liberty in
Europe and America had an interest in it,
They were on trial. The celebrated trial of
Warren Hastings would sink into insignifi
cance compared with that of Jefferson Davis.
"Mr. Cutler declared the Declaration of In
dependence to be the Magna Oherta of human
liberty, and quoted it to prove that the South
erniStates had the right to secede.
"Another person, one of the New
remarked Yorkers,
rearked that the State of New York refused..
to enter the Federal Union except the right;
was assured to her to Witbilra.w it she thought
proper. The proceedings and debates of the
convention were referred to in confirmation
of this statement.
"Another of the New Yorkers declared that
evenin Massachusetts every officer taking the
°BAD of office swore that he owed allegiance to
the State paramount to every other obligation
of fealty.
"Ni'. Robert M. Livingston, of Mobile, Ala
bama, remarked how few people had ever read
the Oonstitutions of the different States. He
had read them, and found in ,several of the
coiritutions of free States the expressed right
to ecede.
''A running conversation followed the state
ment, in which it was said that the effect of

ti4ent everywhere& favor of thelSouth. It
wound be proved on the trialthat the secession
cause was right, and-entitled to the sympa

Cu ler, if I remember rightly, quoted a pas
se . from Burke, to show that a State cannot
be guilty of treason.
"Air. Livingston; now wrought up to a high
pith of enthusiasm, made the declaration:
'intwenty-five years the man that 110 W ae

lie repeated this declaration, saying that in
fifty years the revolution in popular senti

be looked upan as a madman or a fool.
"One of the New Yorkers denounced the ex
ecution. of Mrs. &Watt as a cold, deliberate
murder. Another declared that she was con

tried had no legal jurisdiction, and that the
execution was a deliberate murder.

Views of a Returned Rebel Soldier.
[From the Nashville Press and Times. 3
A very . respectable resident of the Third
Congressional district, who recently returned
from the rebel army, remarked to a Union
friend, after listening to a stirring . speech
from Colonel Wnsli. Stokes " The [Num men
are not half as hard upon the rebels as we
in
tended to be upon you, when we were in the
Southern army. Colonel Stokes is not a bit
harder upon us than we were against you one
year ago. We did not intend to let Stokes, or
any other decided Union man, vote at all.
We talked that matter over often in the
Min and everybody, except the Union con
scripts, agreed that the "Tories," Who stood
up for the United States against the Confede
racy, didn't deserve to vote, and shouldn't
vote. So I can't think hard of you Union men
for wanting to keep us who have been rebels
away from the polls, for it is exactly the way
we meant to treat you. - I don't want to vote
until I have satisfied you all that I mean to be
a - peaceable citizen, and to stand up after this
for the United States Government. And when
we Came out of the Southern army, none Of us
expected to vote,rand hardly any of us wanted
to vote right oft: If the Copperhead politi
cians, and the rebels who have staid at home,
would shut their mouths, there would be no
trouble about it."
"Do the rebels who remained at home tell
you that you have a right to vote," asked the
tsnion man.
" Certainly they do," answered the returned
soldier. "They were the first persons who
spoke to me about voting. - And at the same
time, they abuse us for giving up so soon, and
not holding out till we had driven the Yankees
and Tories out of Tennessee. The very men
who tell me I have a right to vote, quarrel with
ale Southern soldiers for not fighting better
and sustaining the Southern Confederacy."
This conversation Was related to 1.15 by one
of the most respectable, influential and truth
ful citizens of Middle Tennessee, a gentleman
whose word will pass .unquestioned wherever
lie is known. And there is truth in it. It IS

bring Mr. Davis to trial. Ile believed that the
intention was to keep him lingering in prison
till he died, without bringing him to trial.
The friends of Mr. Davis must keep such an
agitation of the matter stirring, that the Go
vernment would be forced to put him on trial
without further delay.
"Mr. Cutler said that he had been of opinion
that the Government would bring Darts to
trial before the District Court of the District.
of Columbia. But it had been ascertained that
a Democrat (Judge Wylie) had been appoint,
ed one of the judges; and hence the Govern

" The conversation - took another turns and

even more intense than that of. Southern men.
Ile would mention a fact that had come under

than n hundred ' niggers ' in Mobile had been
murdired in cold blood by Western soldiers.

_Achanging of flour of Promenade.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 29.—hardly anything
is spoken of here save the intense heat, and
the military changes which daily occur from
the moving of troops to their homes.
Yesterday, however, a little incident trans
pired which will prove of interest to your
readers. Mr. Davis, as you are aware, has
been allowed for several days past the privi
lege of - walking on the ramparts. 4a officer
accompanies him, and a guard, armed with
muskets, follow some five or ten feet in the
rear. A. similar indulgence is granted Mr.
Clay, and under the same restrictions. Care
seems to have been taken that they should
not be out at the same time, but last evening,
Probably through inadvertence,. they were
permitted to be out at the same hour, and du
ring their promenade they met.
It was the first friendly faee save the sur

months,'
and the emotions that rushed upon
the hearts of both may boimagined. 'Mr. Clay

.21, the Editors of the Kew York Evening Pest:
There appears to be a, disposition on the part
of some of the public preB to Mitigate the
offences and .crimes of Major Henry - Wertz,
late the respontible keeper of the stockade at
Andersonville, Ga., and to• throw upon others
the responsibilities that justly attach,to those
alone who were in immediate command of that
prison. Being personally acquainted with
most of the officers who were'stationed at An
dersonville, and knowing much of the treat
ment of those who were so unfortunate as to
have been confined in that pen of horror,i
have thought that a condensed; statement of
how things were managed and prisoners of
war were treated there might not be entirely
unacceptable to your readers,
I wish to be understood as not desirous to
forestall the action or opinion of the commis
sion which is about to investigate this matter,
or to add anything to the feeling entertained
toward Major Wertz. It is enough for him to
rest, now and forever, under an obloquy that
no time and no repentance can obliterate; to
feel within himself the unenviable pangs
which the recollection of his powerless mur
dered victims will ever arouse, and to know
that whatever may be the award of a human
tribunal his punishment is already decreed.
The prison of Andersonville is a stockade of
about eighteen feet high, the posts comprising
it being sunk in the ground five feet. It ori,
ginally comprised an area of eighteen acres,
but was subsequently enlarged to twenty-se
ven acres. The enclosure is upon the side of
a hill, looking toward the south, at the foot of
which is a small brook, about five feet wide and
as many inches deep, which furnished water
for the Mse, of the anisoners. Within this en
closure were turned the prisoners as they ar
rived, and left to provide for themselves, there
being no shelters, or arbors, or any kind of
protection afforded, by trees or otherwise,
against the burning rays of the Southern sun,
the furieuo storms, or the freezing winters.
The position was selected by Capt. Winder,
a son of Gen. John H. Winder, who was sent
from Richmond for that purpose in the latter
part of 1803. When it was suggested to him by
a disinterested but humane spectator of his
operations that it would perhaps he better to
leave the trees standin"
with3n the proposed
stockade; as they would - - afford Outdo to the
prisoners, he replied: "That was just what he
was not going to do; he was going to make a
pen for the Yankees, where they could rot
faster than they could be sent there."
And admirably did he accomplish his mis
sion.
The "first commandant of the post was Col.
Persons, who was soon succeeded by John H.
Winder, with his son as Adjutant, his nephew
as commissary and sutler, and Henry Wertz
in immediate command of the prisoners.
There were generally stationed there for
guard duty from three to six regiments of in
nuitry, with one company of artillery, having
a battery of six pieces, according to the exi
gencies of the case, the number of prisoners
then confined, or the fears entertained of an
attempt to Set them at liberty by raiding par
ties of United States troops.
When prisoners were first received it was
usual to subject them to a. search for money,
valuables, tic., which, ostensibly, were to be
restored when they . were released from cap
tivity, but which, in reality, went into the
pockets of those who controlled the prison.
I.Zetwithstanding a law of the Confederacy,
expressly prohibiting the dealing in "green
backs," yet the initiated—a few whose " loyal
ty" was unquestioned—could always Obtain
for a consideration the greenbacks they re
quired.
The writer of this was the foreman of the
last grand jury which was empanneled for
Sumner county, Ga., and in the performance
of his duties he had to investigate a large
number of presentments for dealing in the for
bidden curreiley, which -was brought against
poor 'Union men in every Instance. Struck by
this fact, he resolved to examine, as his posi
tion gave him a right to do, into all the eir
emnsta»ceswhere the, money originally came
from, who did the selling of it, indeed, the
whole modus operandi, and lie elicited the fact
above stated, how the money was obtained,
that the Winders and Wertz were the princi
pals, acting through subordinates, in . gather
ing bushels of plums, in the way of premi
ums, &c. Ifeanwhile, the prisoners were left
to the tender mercies of their jailor and com
missary for their food, which Might have been
improved in quantity, at least, if their money
had been left in their own possession:
At first .it was customary to send a wagon
into the stockade every morning at ten o'clock,
loaded with the rations for the day—bacon and
eOrn-bread, nothing alga; but as the niunber
of prisoners increased and the greed of gain
grew upon the trio above-mentioned, the corn
bread was reduced in its quality, being then
manufactured of .equal proportions of ground
held peas and corn; unbolted, unsifted, un
cleansed, indeed, from the dirt and trash which
peas naturally accumulate; and at last, when
the number of prisoners increased to over
thirty.seven thousand, the meat rations per
week were reduced 'to a piece of bacon, for
each man, about three inches long and two
wide, with one pone of the bread above-de
scribed per day. Then also, the custom of
carrying the prisoners' food into the stockade
in , wagons was ablitished: They drove lip to
the gates, which were slightly opened, and the
scanty food, foul and unhealthy as it was, was
for o b n y m thein s
wl e et b c y b
e t e d
i g i La o r n d
t b h e e sc s
j a v ni n b g l e e s c t i
and those nearest the gate getting the largest
share, the weak and sickly giating none.
I have mentioned the small.. brook which
runs through the lower part of the stockade,
and which supplied the water for drinking
and washing. This brook has its - rise in a
swamp not - liar from the prison, and at no
time, certainly not for a lengthened period,
was the water suitable or healthy • but when
the flecks and filth, the drainage of the whole
camp of prisoners, came to be superadded to
the natural unfitness of the water for drink
ing or cleansing purposes, my readers can
judge what thirst was assuaged, or fever
cooled, or throbbing temples washed, by this
floatingSti , Aatia of filth and disease ! At any
time, under the most rigid hygienic restric
tions, it is difficult to maintain health and
cleanliness among a large body of men—what
do you think was the condition of thirty-seven
thousand half-naked, half-starved men, with
out any police regulations, under no moral or
restraining influences I If the remnant who
were dually allowed to pass out of this mili
tary Golgotha werenot wild beasts, unwashed,
befouled devils, no thanks are to be given to
Henry Wertz ffir lack of effort to produce
',such a consummation.
. .
When it rained, as it does in that climate al
most continually during the spring and fall
months, the soil within the enclosure was one
mass of loblolly, soft mud, at least fifteen
inches in depth, through which stalked and
staggered the gaunt, half• Clad wretches thus
connned, The stench from the prison could be
perceived for two miles, and farmers living in the
neighborhood began to fear for the health of their
families.
As a consequence of this, the hospitals—fa
cetious was Wertz in his horrible humanity
-.were crowded to repletion - with the emaciated,
starved, and diseased men who were trundled
into them.
The hospitals were constructed of logs, un
hewed, the insterstices unfilled and open, ad
mitting the rain, without floors, cots, hunks,

fear that some may think I have exaggerated,
an episode here will, perhaps, dispel such illu
sion. Convicted by the horrible fact that was
a stench in his nostrils, General Winder, then
Commissary General of Prisons, but having
his headquarters at Andersonville, was forced
by decency, not humanity, for this he him
self asserted, to ask the aid Of the Presiding
Elder of the Methodist Church of that cir
cuit to adopt some means to alleviate the mi
series and soothe the wretchedness of the
poor inmates of that Andersonville hospital.
This gentleman invoked the cooperation gf
the women of Sumter county, who responded
with clothing and necessaries only, for these
ajAwB„ an„Jillowed, to the amount of four
ladies, accompanied:
to the prison and sought from the Provost
Marshal a pass, to take their benefactions to
the sick prisoners. It was refused with a
curse. The party proceeded to Winder's head
quarters,where Henry Wertz was iu company
with the General. The demand for a pass was
repeated. Understand, the ladies were pre
sent, and the reasons given why the party
were there, in accordance with Winder's
special request. To their astonishment, they
were met with this reply " G—d d.—n you,
have you all turned Yankees here 1"
" No, General," responded the spokesman of
the party, " I am not, as you know, nor are
any here present ; we have come, as you re
quested us, through Vey. Mr. D. to bring ne
cessary articles for the Federal hospital, and
ask a pass. for the purpose of delivering them,"
"It's a d—n I never gave permission
for any of the kind ! Be off with you, all
of you!
As if his fearless display of martial valor
and gentlemanly bearing was not sufficient,
Henry Wertz essayed to and did eclipse his
Generalni profanity and indecency—and I
here assert that if the lowest sinks of the most
abandoned parts of your city were gleaned,
they could not surpass the ribald vulgarity
and finished profanity of this tailor, exhibited
in the presence of refined and "loyal" ladles.
Shocked, terrified, beaten to the very dust
with mortification, the party retired, and,
foiled in their efforts to succor the sick or
alleviate the tortures of the dying Union sol
dier, they gave their loads of clothing and
food to it passing column of Federal prisoners
on their way to another place—Millen. They
at least bad the satisfaction of knowing that
some were benefited, even if they had failed
in their efforts for those who most needed
their assistance.
During the last winter, which was unusually
cold for Georgia, when the ice made an inch
thick, no shelter, no blankets or clothes, no
wood was prOvided for the wretched inmates
of that prison. Squads were permitted, to the
number of thirty, to go out under guard daily,
for one hour, without axes or any cutting tool,
to gather the refuse and rotten wood in the

BASE-BALL.
Great Match for the Championship. of
the United States.
THE ATLANTIC UWE, OF BROOK-
LYN, THE WINNERS,
THE FINEST DISPLAY OF THE SEASON.
A great base-ball match for the ehatapion
ship of the 'United States, between the Na
tional Club of New York, and the Atlantic
Club of Brooklyn, came off on the grounds of
the former on Thursday. Upwards of twenty
thousand spectators were present, who closely
watched every movement of the players: The
New York papers aCknowledge the playing to
have been the best ever witnessed in that
vicinity. The following. full report Of the
Playing will be read by all interested in this
noble game:
At a quarter to four P. M., all being in readi
ness for the match and the field clear—as well
as it was possible to clear it—the contest com
menced, the. Atlanties being the first to go to
the bat. By some excellent batting they se.
cured two runs; and by equally good fielding
put out their adversaries for a single run,
thereby taking the lead at, the outset,!tmid
applause from the immense crowd of friends
the champions had on the field. The ttutuals
in the -second innings put out the champions
in handsome style for a blank.score, and doing
some good batting on their owe account, se.
cured two runs, thereby winning the lead from
the Atlantics, the totals at the close being
three to two. The third innings was then
commenced, and the Champions, marking their
batting with two long hits, added no less than
four to their score, the applause again bursting
forth in deafening Style, Tile Illutuals, how
ever, nothing daunted, went into their work
in tine style, and equalling the batting of the
champions, duplicated their score of four, thus
retaining the lead of one run gained in the
second innings. It was now plainly apparent
that both parties were in tip top order for play,
the game thus far being as handsomely played
and as closely contested as any game of the
season. The Atlantics now went into their
fourth innings, and opened some of their most
powerful batteries on the enemy, the result
being the capture of no less than ssr runs, one
of which was a home run from a splendid hit
of the veteran P. O'Brien, to right field, the hit
eliciting a perfect storm of applause from all
Present, for the veteran is a popular favorite
everywhere among base-ball players. The
score Of the champions had now reached a
dozen, and their Opponents, being put out in
this innings, for a single, left the former in
the majority by a score of twelve to eight, and
confidence in the ultimate success of the At
lantics began to be manifested as strongly as
before the game began, the odds then being
one hundred to sixty - in their favor. Such
odds now, however,were very risky invest
ments to make, the Mutuals being well up to
their highest murk In their play, and in fact,
cooler and more collectee than thole adVersa:
ries.
The important fifth innings was now com
menced, and we say important, from the fact
that evidences of an approaching storm began
to be manifested, and as unless five innings
were played out there would be no game, and
also as the party having the lead at the close
of the fifth Innings ran the best chance of suc
cess, in case the s...thinning,s was interrupted
by rain, it of course became the most impor
tant period of the contest, and the result of
this inning's play, therefore, was anxiously
watched for. The Atlantics led off and had
secured one run and had a man on the third
base, when their third hand was pat out, their
total score reaching thirteen. The Mutants
now went in against a lead of thirteen to
eight, and by some very handSomo batting
pulled up their score to twel t i e, amidst the up
roarious applause of the New Yorkers on the
grounds, their plucky play meriting the com
mendation bestowed. The total - now stood
thirteen to twelve in favor of the champions,
and the lilutuals seeing that a heavy thunder
storm w mild inevitably interrupt proceedings
in a vory short time,hnrried up things all they
and by tilree handsome catches disposed
of their opponents for a blank score. It was
now that things became exciting to the highest
degree. The rain clouds were almost over
head. The sun was obscured, the fair sex
were hastily on the lookout for shelter from
the approaching storm, and it was evident
that a few moments more of time would end
the contest. Though loose play would have
delayed the game and rendered success cer
tain, the champions played tip to the Nark
manfully, and as honorable hall-players, al
though some of their adversaries, in a rather
excited state, thought otherwise. Two hits
bad been made and bases thereby secured,
when down came the rain in such a per
fect torrent that nearly the whole vast
assemblage became wet through before they
could obtain the least shelter. In fact, none
was to be had for the twentieth part even of
the crowd who anxiously sought envoi , from
the rain, and the result was that a more
drenched crowd of pleasure seekers never he ,
fore crossed the Hoboken ferries en route home
than on this eventful occasion. The final re
sult—according to the rules of the National
Association, by which all our senior clubs are
guided—was a victory for the Minot/Es by a
score of thirteen to twelve. It is a victory that,
at the same time they may well be proud of,
affords them but little opportunity for exulta
tion over their skilful oppon eats, for assuredly
the Nutuals never contested a championship
match as ably as they did this. Of course, the
result will add - great interest to the second
eenien, 4f the series, which is to take place on
the Capiteiine tirialthlia, at _Bedford. The fol
lowing is the score of the match
