said of AIME/1W JOVIISOIT on the Oth. of
March, 1803:
" But, sir, without regard to any question. of
his official position, take Andrew Johnson as
an individual assuming that he is rightfully
clothed with the robes of oilleAN and may con
stitutionally exercise the duties ofthat high
tosition ; even then I say to you, Mr. Speaker,
hat' I never by my vote will allow a man to
come into these halls, and from this place
speak to the people of : this great State in
support of what I know to be the illegal, un-
Constigutionai and tyrannical 'acts . of the Federal
Government. I know, sir, that Andrew
Johnson line gone as far as the farthest,
and is ready to go still further to destroy, to
uproot, to upturn every principle upon which
this great and good Government of ours was
founded. I know that ho has bent with sup
pliant knee before the throne of power. I
know that for pelf, or some other consideration, he
as succumbed to every measure presented to him
for approval or disapproval; and I know that, in
speed/wt. de/tutrgd in the capitals of other States, he
has enunciated doctrine: which, if adopted by the
.veopie of the great North, would be subversive of
2 ndividuaifreedom and, ervona/ rights. Sir, by
no votebf mine can any person holding such
views address the people of Pennsylvania in
this chamber. NEVER, Sts, NEVER, so long as 1
have a right to forbid it?,
We need make no other Democratic quo
tations to prove the hypocrisy of these
leaders, and to show how inextricably they
are involved by their insane denials of the
bitter malignity they entertained toward
ANDREW JOHNSON. Why not go down on
their lames at once and beg pardon for
slandering the man they now cover with
false praise ?
HON. ji://llkt B. HASKIN, the architect and
engineer of the platform adopted in the re
cent Democratic (New York) State Con-
Ventivo, addresses a letter to the editor
Of the Herald, from which we take the "fel
lowing extract :
"I state that just before the organization
of the committee in my room at the Delavan
House Mr. Calvert Comstock, one of the
committee, formerly of the Albany Argus,
requested me as the chairman, to invite
Mr. ldarble, on the World, and Mn Cassidy, of
the ArgElB,•to attend and participate in their
proceedings. I replied that they were not
members of the committee - that the commit
tee would first organize,and ' after they had con
sidered and digested the resolutions proposed
he might invite Messrs. Marble and Cassidy
before them for their suggestions and views.
These gentlemen did not, however, come be
fore the committee. Upon the organization
of the committee I read for its consideration
eleven resolutions, handed to me by Mr:Com
stock, and which had been printed upon slips
in the Argus office. Eight of these, after being
discussed in the committee and amended,
were adopted, and three of them—one on ar
bitrary arrests, military courts, suspension of
habeas corpus, &c.; another in favor of dis
banding the army, abolishing military bu
reaus, de., and another in favor of abolishing
United States revenue collectors and asses
sors, and of conferring the performance of
their duties upon State officials ; and still an
other endorsing the Ohio, Pennsylanvia. and
NewJerSeyplatfOrnie—the committee had the
good sense to reject, as foreign to the living
issues of the approaching State campaign.
The ninth resolution of the series adopted, -
the one heaktily endorsing President John
son, I had the pleasure to propose and ask to
be incorporated in the platform, and which,
after some opposition wasiadopted. Rut with
this resolution the distinguished gentleman
named in the World article had nothing what
ever to do. Indeed, as Mr. Calvert Comstock,
before the platform was submitted and voted
upon by the convention, desired me to omit
this from the series, I suspected that some of
these gentlemen were opposed to it. I know
he urged in the committee that the cold en
dorsement of the President's "restoration pa
hey," contained in the fourth resolution, was
a sufficient allusion to and endorsement of
him. I differed with him, and advocated giv
ing President Johnson a cordial and magnani
mous support, as well for his past as his future
constitutional measures, and with the assist
ance of Messrs. Jones and Childs, of your city
delegation,
.carried the committee with mei
and thus this resolution was adopted.
"During the night the resolutions were
adoptpd by the committee Mr: Marble dropped
into my room and examined them ; after doing
which lie desired to know what the committee
had done with the other resolutions submit.
ted, prepared jointly by Mr. Tilden and him
self. I informed him that the committee had
deemed them redundant, and rejected them.
"The Committee on Platform are entitled to
credit for amending the resolutions submit
ted, and for cropping out of them those which
were unnecessary for making the platform
symmetrical, comprehensive, and strong, and
for the last resolution, frankly and honestly
endorsing President Johnson. I know that
some of our leaders,' so-called, desired a
simple endorsement of him, divide and
conquer the enemy but with me the para
mount idea—and it induced me to gato the con
vention, in view of the curse of the Chicago
platform—was to avoid the Bourbon Vallan
dighamism of the Ohio, the Jerry Black Pm
chananism of the Pennsylvania, the Camden
and Amboy Rip Van Winkleism of the New
Jersey Democratic platform, and to give Pre
sident Johnson a sincere and hearty endorse
ment to make him the great leader of the
people and of the Democraticr party, as his
great prototype, Andrew Jackson . , was of old.
yassociation with and knowledge of Ptak.
dent Johnson during the thirty-fifth andthirty
sixth sessions of Congress gave me opportu
nity to know that he was, as aDeraocrat con
servative, as a statesman able, and as true a
Union patriot as lives. With the• United States
Senate, controltpd by New P.iigl.and fanati
cism, and sectionalism against him (as it was
against Jackson), I felt and know that it is the
duty of the Democracy of this State and of all
the States to come generously and manfully to
his support in his great work—the pacification
and restoration of the Union."
It will be seen that Mr. Misktrz, who
was one of the Democrats who• fought the
organization when JAMES BUCHANAN' at
tempted to make his Kansas policy a test,
and who was re-elected to • Congress from
a heavy Democratic district in defiance of
party usages, forces the present leaders in
this issue to give up • their, copperheadism
and come squarely out for the policy of
PreSident JOHNSTON. The. New York
World tries to show. that everything was
satisfactory to it and its satellites at Alba
ny, and the same view. was- taken by the
SETMOURS, CASSLDIEL and others of the ex
treme sympathizing_ school. From Mr.
HAMNIN'S letter, however;. it appears that
their peculiar and offensive doctrines were
deliberately rejected by the-committee, and
only those resolutions afterwards adopted
in convention which .proved that the lead
ers who had led, the Democracy in defeat
must hereafter take a back seat.
LETTER FROM" OCCASIONAL."
WASAINGTQN„ September 21, 1865.
After the celebrated Dr. Samuel Johnson
had completed his. great lexicon, com
menced and continued in the midst of the
ridicule of his enemies, and the doubts of
many 01 hishest friends, he was congratu
lated by Lord Chesterfield in two essays
in a periodical. paper which, by a strange
coincidence,. was called the World. This
tardy and condescending tribute, although
couched in language of characteristic refine
ment and politeness, aroused the ire of the
great philosopher, and recalled the almost in
gurnomaitahie obstacles against whichhe had
to contend for so many years, before consum
mating that great production which still
'stands as a monument of his genius and perse
verance. He exclaimed to his friend Gar
rick and others, " I have sailed a long and
painful voyage round the world of the
English language, and does he now send
me out two cockboats to tow me into liar.
bor ?" The letter he addressed to Lord
Chesterfield on the subject, in itself a model
of composition, may now be reproduced
for the purpose of illustrating another class
of gentlemen, who only see the merits of a
great public character when he has reached
the highest position after the most terrific
struggle. I accordingly subjoin it :
To TUE EARL OF CHESTRAFIAD,
Ficsaynwr, 1755.
"My Loan: I have been lately informed by
the proprietor of The World that two papers,
in %via& my dictionary is recommended to
the public, were written by your' lordship.
To be so distinguished is an honor, which,
being very little accustomed to favors from
the great, I know not well how to receive, or
in what terms to acknowledge.
" When, upon some slight enCOUragelnent ,
first visited your lordship I was Overpowered,
like the rest of mankind, by the encliaatrnent
of your address, and could not forbear to
wish that I might boast myself 'le vain
queur du vainqueur de la terre , —(the con
queror of the conqueror of the earth)—that I
might obtain that regard for which I saw
the world contending; but I found my atten
dance so little encouraged that neither pride
nor modesty would sutler me to continue it.
When I had once addressed your lordship in
public, I bad exhausted all the art of pleasing
which done =courtly scholar can
possess. I hadall that I could, and nO
man is well pleased to have his all neglected,
be it ever so little.
" Seven years, my lord, have now past since

have been pushing on my work through difil
.culties, of which it is useless to complain, and
have brought it at last to the verge of publi
cation without one act of assistance, one word
of stiCouragetnent, Or One smile of favor. Such
treatment (lid not expect, for I never had a
patron before.
"The.. Shepherd in Virgil grew at last ac
quainted with Love, and found him a native
of the rocks.
"Is not a patron, my lord, one who looks
with unconcern on a man struggling in the
water, and when he has reached ground en.

"SAM, JOHNSON.,"
Without asking whether Andrew John
son inherits the stubborn courage and lofty
genius of his great namesake, I think I may
claim thee is a good deal of resemblance
between the rebuke administered by the
distinguished urea iitajoo , to a presumptu
ous and complacent nobleman, and that
which might, with equal force, be admin
istered to those political courtiers who
waited for more than four long years.of war,
before they discovered that the patriotic
Tennesseean, the first to strike boldly and
fearlessly against treason in the Senate of
the United States, and from that hour the
constant and heroic opponent of the rebellion,
sacrificing his fortune and risking his life
that his country might be saved, was
entitled to anything but their most cruel
scorn and malignity. It may be said,
without qualification, that no public cha
racter has been so unserupulously.maligned
as Andrew Johnson by the leaders of the
Democratic party; and he who addresses
himself to the task of collecting the random
specimens of their vituperation, will be
startled at the fertility of their epithets and
the exhaustless stores of their hatred.
The most remarkable passage in politi
cal history is that which records their
contemptous silence in December, of 1860,
(at a time when a bold, strong denun
ciation of the - reuemon u. E nt
been hailed with grateful applause by all
patriotic men,) when Andrew Johnson ter
rified Jefferson Davis and his fellow-conspi- -
rators by unmasking their plots, and call
ing down upon their heads the vengeance
of the people. The indifference of the De
mocratic leaders to that cxbibition is per
haps the best proof of their hearty sympa
thy with the authors of the subsequent re
bellion; for when Andrew Johnson first
spoke in the Senate, it was after having in
the previous month traversed Tennessee
in favor of Jolm C. Breekinridge, the
Southern candidate for President, who was
also supported by the mass of the Democra
tic party in the free States. But that fact did
not extract a single word of cheer from any
of the men who then, as now, had the
destinies of the Democratic party in
charge. This want of / sensibility to a
demonstration which touched the national
heart everywhere and taught the traitors
themselves that they would not be per
mitted to achieve an easy triumph over the
Government, was but a promise of the af
ter hostility of the Democratic leaders to
Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. And it
is a curious tact, that the malevolence of
Jo. Lane, when he replied to Johnson in
the Senate, and the drunken diabolism
of Wigan, were equalled, and in many
cases surpassed, by the vindictive vitupera
tion of these leaders, when after the adjourn
ment of the Senate in 1861, Andrew John_
son continued his noble career in Tennessee,
subsequently again in the Senate, then as
Provisional Governor, appointed by Mr.
Lincoln,-and at last as the popular cham
pion of the republic, in his several journeys
through the border and free States. They
neither abated nor abandoned theirfierce an
tagonism to him when he was placed on the
ticket by the Union National Convention at
Baltimore as the Vice Presidential candi
dklate in connection with Mr. Lincoln.
The acceptance of that honor eonfirmed,.
for it could not increase, their former hatred
of his character and his principles: -The
spectacle is now presented: In a little more
than seven months after the rcinauuration
of Mr. Lincoln's Administration, and. in
a little more than six months after, by
reason of an act of unspeakable inhu
manity, he is himself called to the Pre
sidential chair, the Democratic leaders of
the country are making support of Andrew
Johnson and of his policy the foundation of
their political platform, and the star by
which their future movements are to be
controlled !
It is in precisely this place that the noble
letter of Dr. Sam. Johnson to Lord Ches
terfield may be read and applied to these
modern Pharisees. There would be some
reason, some explanation, and, indeed, some
congratulation for this exhibition on the part
of men thus suddenly enlightened, if they
had acted in a moment of peril, if their
friendship came to assist their country
in its hour of despair, or if they based
their eleventh-hour support upon the
decent pretext of being properly peni
tent for that continuous factiousness
which, after the machinations of the rebels
themselves, did so much to embarrass
and cripple the national cause. But,
curious to say, not content with assuming
to be the real friends of President Johnson,
they class as his enemies all whom they
call the radicals . of the country. And this,
too, when the fact is not only of historic
but of notorious record, that no Measure, no
matter how radical, how extreme, and how
startling, adopted to suppress the rebellion,
from the beginning of the war, has ever been
questioned, much less opposed by Andrew
Johnson of Tennessee. Nay, it was be
cause of his sympathy with such measures,
and his identity with the men who origi
nated and pressed them, that the invectives
of the Democratic leaders to which I have
referred were hurled in such merciless profu
sion upon his head. It is equally true
that the reconstruction policy which these
same politicians affect now excluSively to
Support, had always been Andrew John
son's principle and platform, but was
never recognized as entitled to their confi
dence until he became President of the
- United States.
There is, then,.left for these leaders a sin
gle excuse ; and that is, that they agree with
Andrew Johnson in opposing negro suf
frage: But even here they stand upon the
weakest ground ; for Andrew Johnson is
not opposed to negro suffrage, as the Copper
heads assert that they are. He is simply op
posed to the interference of the Executive or
of Congress, in what he believes to be
purely a matter of State concern. • Enter
taining a natural doubt as to the propriety ,
of c i pferrtng this sacred franchise upon un-
trained and uneducated millions, he has.
never declared that if the ,people of the.
States,
respectively, decided to bestow it
upon the colored race, such a decision,
would be opposed in his official
pacity. Nor does the great Union party
at his back take issue with him here. There.
are exceptions now, as.always. There are
violent and unreasoning men, who, be-.
cause they cannot induce the Presi
dent to act upon their counsel, are dis
posed to weaken and antagonize his:
administration. Nearly the same. men,
antagonized Mr. Lincoln, and .I, believe the
surnefate which overwhelmed their oppo
sition to him will refute and dissipate all
their objections to Andrew Johnson.
That the people of the United States have
not seen and do not seethe double profli
gacy and dissimulation of these Democratic
leaders, it would be madness to believe.
But woe to our country, which, is now in
the forefront of the 'grandest future ever
opened to any people, should it confide its
policy and the administration of its govern
ment to, men who have won an ignoble
fame by standing bi the way of those
mighty results by which a defiant insur
rection was crushed, and the only re
public on earth reserved for immortal en
durance. The statesmen who stood firm
during these four years, the heroes who
successfully combatted the traitors, and the
powerful party that rallied round and
strengthened both—that wore thetitimoners
of our soldiers and their families in the
darkeit hours of the rebellion, and the
staunch stay and rampart of our servants
in civil life—are alone competfoitt to con

9L'he Wirz Trials
The evidence for the:United- States in the
Wm trial is expected to close-to-marrow or
Saturday. The Government has shown a pro
per disposition to afford the prisoners fair
opportunity for his defence, having: thus far
subpoenaed about seventy witnesses,- thirty of
whom have already arrived ato Washington.
This is not all that the prisoner; through his
counsel, desires. He wants witnesses sought
after and brought to this city, but this ) -it ap
pears, cannot be clone for the want ofmoney—
only about seven hundred dollarsin all having
been subscribed to assist him. SOVOral wit
nesses deemed important have left here; not
having means at hand tq pay their ordinary
expenses.' Under these circumstances both
the prisoner and his counsel seem despondent,
while they attach no blame to the prosecution.
To-day one of the witnesses who was-recalled
by the Government testified to acts•of cruelty
committed by JAMES DUNCAN', a part of'whose
business was to distribute bread +among the'
prisoners.
Mr. Mtuen objected to the etatenaintoinless
it was shown that Duncan . was coupled' with
the cruelties charged against the 'prisoner at
the bar.
The court informed the counsel , ' that the
Commission was trying a conspiracy.
The witness then testified that Dummy
kicked and beat a man who stooped' to• pick
np a piece of bread, and that the victimkof the
unmerciful treatment died several days after
wards; and, also,,,that the same D'unce.n simi
larly served a poor haltwitted fellow when he
came with his wagon, on another occasion, to
give out bread. The witness was asked to
point out DUNCAN in the court-room., which. he
did.
A short time after these proceedingeaguard
approached DU CAN and informed him.that he
was now under arrest, by order of the court.
This lean was subpo3naed as a witness for
the defence, and has appeared in the court for
several days past.
The Freedmen
The npedmen's Employment Agency has
been officially instructed that, in-disbursing
supplies to freedmen in the District of Co.
lumbia, a discrimination should be. particu
larly made between the dependent and those
who are natives or residents, in order that the
latter may be required to look tothe-proper
municipal authorities for aid. This action
seems to have become necessary in conse
quence of the large number of negroes who
appear to think they are entitled,to.Groyern

The State.of'tbe Crops.
Hen, ItSAAC NEWTON Commissioner of Agri
culture, authorizes le- following statement
as to the condition .off Me crops on the Ist day
of September:
WHEAT, OATS ANH,IXAY.—The wheat crop has
received no additional injury from the wea
ther since his moat of last month, but the
quality of the crop is not good, especially in
the Western States, where it was affected by
blight and rust, ea well as by the wet weather
during harvest. Of the old wheat' on hand
there. is not: ea much as was supposed in the
hands of farmers, for much of it was bought in
July and August in the Eastern and Middle
States. There was but,-little at any time du
ringthe latter part of the summer.
The outs asap received no great deal of info.
ry from . Vac) wet weather and it may be re
garded,as one of the, largest oats crops ever
raised in this country.
The injury to the hay in the West is very
great. In the East it received but little da
mage from the wet weather. Generally the
quality is good, except in. the States of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.
Conzr.--This Crop, owing to the continued
heat and moisture of the weather, has escaped
material injury. On account of its weedy con
dition in the West it may be regarded as the
greatest crop yet raised in the loyal States.
Tonacco.--Its condition was favorable, the
weather helping it 'very much; but as re.
ported last month, the amount planted is
much less than last year, especially in the
largest tobacco-producing States.
SOIWIIUM, like the corn crop, is excellent.
BUCICWREAT.--If not injured by 9. premataro
frost, this drop will be good.
POT.A.TOne.—In many localities there were
indications of the rot, and in some places the
prop was much -injured by it. The continued
hot and moist weather since the first of. Sepi
timber occasions apprehensions that this disl
ease may prove very injurious; but still the
yield may be good, as the amount planted was
so much greater than waist
110Ps.—In all the States, except New York,
the hop has ripened well ; but in, that Statetit
has sustained an injury of 4 4-19tha froul IP&
The Crop is, therefore, injured, seriously r for
in 1860 New York produced nine and three
quarter millions of the eleven millionsbushels
raised in the whole country.
• norm .It.ti'D Gs.annes.—These were never
better.
FATTBNING HOGIL-4very State returns a
decrease in the number of fattening hogs.
The general decrease is about one-tenth from
the number °flag year. So far as the returns
were published of the number peeked AO
year in the West it was 2,422,77% A tenth det•
OrOttee On WO Wolll4i e 2V1217. The ietturi aw
companying the returns of the correspondent's
indicate that tie hogs are younger and
smaller than usual, but in good condition.
The monthly report for September, contain
ing full returns of the crops, &c., will be pub
lished next week.

SECOND DESPATCH
Nnw Irons, Sept. 21.—The cricket match ter
minated M favor Of the Young America, by a
score of 180 to 119. When the stumps were
drawn on Wednesday the St. George's had
three wickets to fall, with a score of 51. This
(Thursday) morning they added 16 runs to the
score, pemeroy having to retire without
losing his wicket, owing to his having had a
finger broken with a ball from Charles New
hall. Pomeroy was well in at the turn, and
apparently good for double figures. At half
past eleven o'clock the Young America, began
their second innings, and a good defence was
shown at the bat. The improved bowling ren
dered the run getting rather difficult. Harry
Wright, especially, being well on the stumps.
Finally, in two hours time, the whole eleven
were disposed of for sixty-five, although the
fourth wicket had fallen for forty-three.
Double figures were scored by George,
Charles and Daniel Newhall and Davis, the lat..
ter showing the best defence and Daniel New
hall the liveliest batting. There wag a draw
for four byes, Daniel having the best hit of the
innings.
At 2 1 /, o'clock P. M. the St. George's went in
to wipe off the score of 114, and average.
At the fall of the second wicket there was
promise of a favorable result. Afterwards
they fell off in play, and were finally defeated
for 52, - Bainbridge's score of 21, not being out,
being the 'finest display. He and Charley
Newhall carried off the honors of the game at
the bat.
The match was a very agreeable one and a
most creditable victory for the Young Ame
rica Club, who did what no other club has
done this season, won a ball from the drat ele
ven of the St. George's Club. Next week the
St. George will play the Philadelphia Club at
Camden.
The match between the Young America
and Willow clubs will not tare place.
The base-ball match between the Atlantic

to the conduct of Captain Wirz, he said that
he " was glad to find the state of things around
Andersonville to be such as he did," and re.
commended Captain Wirz as being a very me
ritoffious and efficient officer, doing his duty,
and doing it well. He said to the Confederate
troops around him, "Look over into that
stockade"—pointing his linger directly to it—
" go• leek over there, and compare your
selvesr with those Men, and go home and
kiss your wives and sweethearts, and see if

drawn for the army ,• there was an uneom

Americus to Andersonvilie for the use of
Confederate officers ;• the witness had know
ledge of the ladies in the neighborhood
gathering clothing and food for the relief of
the prisoners; General Winder, in the presence
of himself and - wife, and several other ladies,
said, with an oath, that "believed the
whole country was- becoming Yankee," and
that he would "be d—d if he wouldn't put a
stop to it, if not one way he would another ;"
the witness replied; that "the exhibition of
humanity was no evidenee of the fact of that
assertion;" Winder said it was a slur on the
Confederate Government, and; a covert attack
upon himself; the witness informed him that
the supplies were forwarded at the request of
Rev. 111 3•, Davies,when General Winder replied,
"that's a d—d he, as for himself he would as
soon the d—d Yankees should die thereas any
where else; he believed it would be better ;"
General Winder's language, on that occasion,
was utterly unfit to be repeated in the pre
sence of ladies, but the • meaning was that he
could very easily Make loyal women of them
by putting them in a• certain conditiOn. In a
subsequent conversation with. IL. It Winder,
Lieutenant Reed, and • Captain , Wirz Reed ob
served that, if General Winder had done as he
wanted him to do, he (Reed,,would have made
a good speck out of the clothing and supplies.
Captain SirhY. said, if .he had hia own way, he
would have a house built for certain infamous
purposes, in which he would place those bene
volent women. R. B. Winder concurred in
this remark by laughing. At the laying out
of the prison, W. S. Winder was there super
intending. The witness- asked. him if he was
not going to erect sheds and shelter, and why
he was cutting down• the trees,. to which he
replied: "I am going to build the pen so as to
destroy more damned. Yankees than can be
destroyed at the front." General J.ll.Winder
alwaye swore whenever the name of Ander
sonville was named. Tno witness described
him as-bereft of feelings of humanity —in fact
a brutal man.

Dr. B. J. Head, who was on duty aasurgeon at

cluding the, sufferings of prisoners from
disease, and for the• want of proper diet,

for the want of stimulants ; when he visited
his home at Americus .ho mentioned to his
wife the sufferings of the prisoners, and she
went around the town. and, gathered con

this cleared the wayfor a second contribution,
which was largerthan. thefirst ; the third time

- proviSiorci and clothing, and some of the ladies
went up with them to the Andersonville depot
Lieut. Reed swore that the goodashould not go
into the prison : some said that he (Dr. Head)
should be shot, and others that be should be
hanged for his agency in procuring these alp
plies ; the witness then called on Gem Win

ance with his permission that supplies had
been carried into the stockade; Gen. Winder
got out of his chair, turned round and said:
I do not know how in the hell and damna
tion there are so many syinpatbizers for the
damned Yankees?' to this the witness replied,
" this is only a mission of charity and mercy fi
when G'ert. Winder exclaimed, " every damned
Yankee sympathizer and damned Yankee
ought to sink into hell ;" when the train came
down with Confederate soldiers the provi
sions were distributed among them, and the
ladies returned to their homes.
Charles H. Russell was recalled, and related
two instances of cruelty by James Duncan a
rebel hi charge of the distribution of bread in
the quartermaaterN department; a prisoner
stooped to piek up a crust when Duncan
jumped from the wagon and kicked hint three
or four times- the man died several days
thereafter, in the stockade; another poor fel
low who asked for bread was similarly treated
by this same Duncan.
The witness was asked if Duncan was nOW iii
court, when lie responded in the affirmative,
and pointed him out. Duncan, after standing
up to show himself was requested to take a
seat, and the court informed Duncan that he
must:remain here.

the picture being that of a near friend ; that
the prisoner pleaded earnestly for its return,
when Duncan said he might consider himself
d—;—d fortunate if he got out of the stocks at
all ; Duncan also helped himself to the priso
ner's money.
Samuel M. Riker testified that prliOners
•were• robbed at Richmond before they were
conveyed to Andersonville; at the latter place
.the Government equipage was taken from the
'soldiers, and also money over a certain amount;
:Duncan was on duty in more than one capaci

E. G. Smith testified that he heard Captain
Wire order a sentinel to shoot a man who had
reached beyond the dead line for water ; the
sentinel hesitated, when Wirz .said if he did
not shoot the d—d Yankee he. (Wirz) would
shoot him ; the sentinel then fired, the bail
taking effect in the man's head and killing
him instantly.
Benjamin R. tyke, rebel railroad agent at
Andersonville testified that there was a good
deal of provisions on hand there at all times
excepting when the place was• first opened;
the freight trains were regular from one to
six, according to circumstances, running. every

The Secretary of the Treasury has issued. a.
confidential circular to the Government diva
idtariltes warning them against the counterfeit
one-hundred-dollar compound-Intel:eat nom-
Bury note lately discovered to be in circulations
describing the differences between it and the •
genuine. For their own protection the °iron•
lar is withheld from general publication at'
Present, in hope of detecting the offenders.
The Treasury Department, it is stated, will
not issue at present any more compound-inte.,_
rest notes of the denomination of one hundred
dollars, which have been counterfeited, and
will adopt measures to call in such as are in
circulation.
The Atlantic Mail Steamship Company has
sold to the Pacific Mail steamship Company
all the steamships owned by it, tad the route
from New York to Panama, and has received
payment therefor in one million dollars of
old Pacific Mail stock, and one million dollars
Of the new shares. The Atlantic Mail Steam
ship. Company, therefore, owns one-fifth et the
stock of the Pacific Mail, including all its
properties, franchises, and interests in the
California and China trading or elsewhere.
Besides these, Atlantic Mail has a large
aniaint of cash in its treasury, and will retain,
in permanence, its charter and organizotion
to form steamship lines on routes that do not
compete with Pacific Mail. The two com
panies continuo under the old arrangement
until November 1, and under that At/antic
Mail receives three-tenths of the receipts on
the California route, paying alt expenses on
this side of the Isthmus. After November 1,
Atlantic Mail will receive one-fifth of the net
profits from New York to San Francisco,
There seems to be little doubt that the pro,
position to establish at the great financial cen
tres—New York, Philadelphia, and Boston—a
plan for the redemption of the notes of na
tional banks Will meet with no success, and
the committee appointed at the meeting of
bank officers, in New York, on Tuesday, will
probably be obliged to report adversely to the
expectations of those who have advocated the
project. The fact is, that the regular custom
ers of the banks, and, to a great degree, the
stockholders of these institutions, have lied
enough to pay out of their profits, in former
years, through uncurrent money, and they
need money for their goods which wilt pass at
par. If the proiSOZod system of rode/net/M.
were established, it would not be long before ,
quite a number of the interior national banks,
would be represented as inferior ~ to their
neighbors. Their bills would be depreciated,
advertised in the market as at a discount of
one-fourth, one-half, or three-quarters per•
centum, and all this discount would be shaved
by the uncurrent-money broker out of the
business men of New york. This has been the
case in inrmer times, and it has been a great
evil, which would be gladly escaped from in
the future.
