TROUBLE WITH THE SOLDIERS.
We commiserate the Democratic politi
cians on their difficulties with the soldiers.
There Mims to be no relief for them. In
this city they oppose the Union mu..
nicipal ticket, headed by MORTON Mc-
Micstexu, because among the candi
dates the soldiers are not largely re
presented. Probably the. best answer to
this amusing argument from such a
quarter is the fact that very few' soldiers of
fered themselves for nomination before the
Union City and County Conventions ; and
those who did are now actively canvassing
for Mr. McMicnam and his associates on
the Union ticket. This circumstance, so
creditable in itself, and yet so surprising] in
view. of the readiness anti willingness of
the people to reward the brave men who have
served and saved the Republic, proves that
they have not rushed to the party conven
tions for reward in the spirit that seemed
to fear they might he forgotten. The
name of General JOSHUA T. OWEN
was presented to the Union Conven
tion for the Mayorality, and lie was
defeated by Mr. Mc.llrciLism. He is now
on the stump advocating his success
ful rival, and never has he spoken with
more eloquence and ability. Other officers
of distinction co-operate with General
OwEN. No complaints of the course of
the ITnion party come from these brave
men and their compatriots. They know
that the Government, iu an its various
departments, has already cared for •
thousands of the heroic defenders of
the flag, and is daily carrying out the same
just and liberal policy. The bitterest com
plaints arrainst the Union party come from
those who have not only not fought for
the Republic, but, until the rebellion was
crushed, sympathized with the traitors.
Mr. McMicnaEL might rest his case upon
the answer to the:simple question—what
right have the friends of his competitor,
Mr. Fox, to undertake the championship
of the soldiers' cause, or in any way
to expect the soldiers' votes? In four
years of a life-straggle for the best Govern
ment in the world, when thousands of our
citizens were absent fighting for the flag,
and looking to a sound and generous public
opinion to support the Government in its
efforts to protect themselves and their fami
lies, we never heard of Da.xxxL M. Fox. No
subscription of money to the great public
testimonials for the aid of the vridows and
orphans of the soldiers—no active associa
tion with such noble institutions as the
sanitary Fair or the Cooper and Union
refreihment saloons—even no warm words
of encouragement to our absent heroes—
no manly protest against the fiendish
cruelties of the rebels. " While," as the Bul
letin of last evening well says, "upon the
other hand, he has been in open and
avowed sympathy with the party that op
posed the war until. it n atecame a success,
and which declared as the first principle of
was a
failure, and that the Union eomtr — nat - ne
restored by its agency." Such is the De
mocratic candidate for Mayor of Phila
delphia. It might be supposed that a citi
zen with such a record, or without any
record at all identifying him with the great
movement to save the Republic, would dis
suade his partisans from basing their ef
forts in his behalf upon friendship to the
soldier& He should be candid enough to
take the other ground, and to ask the popu
lar suffrage because he was and is a mem
ber of an organization, which, in this city
at least, from the hour that Sumpter was
fired upon, was led as it still is inspired
by men who openly and flagrantly
sympathized with the insurgents. To
assume the other attitude—to say he
held other opinions and wished, for other
results, is simply to open himself to ridi
cule and to multiply the evidences of
the hypocrisy of his organs and his sup
porters.
It is different with MORTON Mobitortact.
He was one of the first and most earnest
enemies of the rebellion, and one of the
most persevering advocates of the Union
cause. His masterly speeches, his power
ful editorials, his unfailing energies, were
felt in every part of the country ; and
his active connection with the Union
League, urging its munificent contribu
tions to every patriotic fund, and its orga
nizations of splendid regiments for the con
quering armies of the Republic, made him
a most useful and effective auxiliary of the
Government. The world does not know
all the good that has been done by
that powerful organization. Its record
of individual and general liberality, if
ever made known, will constitute a page in
the volumes that tell the wondrous story of
the war, more brilliant than any that
describes the work and the fruits of the
work of any civil association in the coun
try. Of this noble brotherhood MORTON
111cMicirAF4. was a founder, and has been
and still is an honored and beloved mem
ber.
But if the dilemma of the so-called De
mocratic party, as to the soldiers, is a sorry
one here in Philadelphia, it is a deplorable
one in the interior. We have already
shown what a sad fiasco Col. DAVIS, the
Democratic candidate for Auditor General,
is making of his campaign through the
State. The Norristown independent, of
yesterday, says of his speech at that place
a few evenings ago
"The Colonel abused Thaddeus Stevens for
being a Know Nothing (what a crime ! and yet,
Colonel, right behind you, on the Democratic
platform, sat two), and he abused Wendell
Phillips—who never belonged to our party, and
opposed the election of Lincoln and tiohnsOn—
because he went for universal suffrage, yet he
had no word of sorrow or sympathy for the
poor fellows who were starved to death at An
dersonville. No words of denunciation for
Jell Davis (we hope he is no relation to Colo
nel Davis), no rebuke to the miscreante of the
south who deluged the land in blood—no,
nothing but opposition to the Union party and
their supposed creed. The Colonel is like the
Alan who went to the Niagara Falls. Ile ar
rived there at night ; took a lantern and went
out to bee the greatest cataract in the world ;
"thought it wasn't pretty," and left before
sunrise next morning.
i; If Wirz don't get a
better idea of "Down below in a few days,
than Colonel Davis has of the. Rebellion awl
its angels, then there is no H—ereafter, that's
all.”,
Here is a soldier who accepts the Cop
perhead nomination for a State office, who
allowed a Copperhead to conduct his own
newspaper, unrebuked by himself, for
three years, and to fill it with the vilest
assaults upon the Government he was be
ing paid for fighting for—who makes
speeches without saying a word against
the rebellion, and who has no higher
theme than- opposition to negro suffrage—
an issue not in the election, and having no
possible connection with the office for
which he is running. What is there in
such a candidate, or in his appeals, to
touch the hearts of the people, or to awaken
the ardor of the returned veterans? But
Colonel DAVIS is consistent in one thing.
He not only forgets the crimes of
the traitors • and the sufferings of the
Union soldiers,—he forgets the black record
of the Democratic leaders under whose aus
pice he was nominated, and on whose plat
form he is standing. From the chairman of
the Democratic State Central Committee,
Mr, Senator WALLIcE, to the notorious
JEREMIAH S. BLACK, JAMES Boonanan's
Attorney General, the author of the atro
clout homey that the American Govern
ment had no power to protect itself
from annihilation, and also the author of
the Copperhead resolutions of the conven
tion to which Colonel DAVIS owes his can
=Macy, they gave few signs, by vote, or
word, or act, showing their gratitude for, or
even their decent remembrance qt' the valor
of the soldiers of the Republic. Of this
record COlonel,
DAVIS takes no notice, and
makes no defence ; but contentedly ac
cepts their nomination and obeys their
orders. If he receives the votes of the
Union soldiers of Pennsylvania, they will
prove that they have memories al treacher
ous as his own. ,
14IINDAT-RuHooLS AND THE REM
Gaines TRAINING OF OUR YOUTH.
The M. E. Sunday-school Conference has
been in session here, and, as its name im
plied, confined its attention solely to the
denominational Sunday-ichoole, their in
ternal polity, and the enlargement of their
capacity for good. It remained but two
days in session (Tuesday was the last),
and these two days were almost wholly
taken up by the discussion of a se
ries of questions involving pupils and
teachers ; how to improve the former ; how
to make the latter embrace their calling
with zeal and profit. The reporters tell us
that the questions were taken up one by
one, considered carefully, and proper de
cisions made, Of course, the discussions
affected the M. E. schools only, but gave
opportunities for bringing out suggestions
affecting schools of all denomination& But
it appeared to us, when we read the
questions at the time of their publication,
that they did not cover the whole ground,
or even a fair part of it If we understand
them aright, they refer entirely to children
already in the schools—children who are
sent or cone there of themselves—children
already in the sphere of spiritual influence.
It may be well enough, and no doubt is well
enough, to render that influence upon them
as powerful as possible—to cultivate in their
hearts a love for religious truths, and so
teach their heads that reason can assist
faith when faith staggers, weakens, or
fails. But are these children already se
cured all the objects of the care of Sunday
schools
schools? These institutions are as old as
the Christian religion itself. 'They are
intended to train all youth in the way they
should go—to take the child's attention
from his little sports, pastimes or other oc
cupations of the week, and enlist them on
Sunday in studies necessary to make him
a thorough Christian, and, by consequence,
a good citizen. When the child is natural
ly attracted to the Sunday-school, or at
tends at the instance of •those over him,
the work of the school is comparatively
simple and easy. If it is not, the experi
ence of hundreds of years, and a pastor of
commonsense, can soon make it so. Few
little ones, who have good teachers, will
stay away from their " classes" unwilling
ly when their interest, and at last their low
for religion, is once excited, and that is
a task of no extraordinary difficulty,
for what grander and nobler themes can be
discovered than those with which Sacred
History is filled ? What tale of "Little
Red Riding Hood" can as quickly en
trance the little one's ear as the tales of
"Joseph," "Daniel in the Lion's Den,"
or the rise to manhood of " The Saviour,"
when they are told, by zealous lips, guided
by intelligence 2 Gooti, intelligent, and
above all, zealously-religious teachers are
all that are required to tell these and point
their moral; and if a pastor's 'ministra
tions do not rear enough of such teachers
from his congregation, all the Conference
debates in the world will not produce
them.
The business, therefore, of the Sunday
school, is not to teach a part of our youth
the ways of truth and right—to content it
self, like a wayside inn, with admitting
only those who apply for entrance. It is a
part of Christianity, and Christianity is
missionary. Pupils must be brought in—
sougirt for on the highways and byways—
sought wherever vice is likely to attack, or
ignorance to mislead and destroy them.
Bach denoruination should take particular
.hild who, in the natural
course of things, belongsproperly within its
pale. It should be aggressive even—and
seek to possess those who otherwise would
grow up infidels, or worse, if " worse."
can be used logically in its present connec
tion. None of these facts are taken cogni
zance of in the questions of the 'Sunday
school convention, so that all the interest
ing speeches we read Of are in fact so much
wasted thought and utterance. If the
question "how shall all children be reached
and 'gathered into Sunday-schools," had
been added, the field of discussion would
have been round and complete, and sug
gestions of universal practical value brought
forth.
Now, does any one doubt that our Sun
day schools have not yet attained full use
fulness ? There used to be, and there
may be now for aught we know, an in
fidel club which met every Sunday
in this city, whose constant boast was
that not only was there a large proportion
of our population of the present generation
non-ehureh goers, but that the already
groat proportion would be far greater in the
nat . . "The children," said they, "are
learning liberal principles, which will op
pose them to canting and superstition in
all their lives." The boast of the in
fidels was not empty. They knew
what they said. Among the—more pros
perous classes in our city; for instance,
the workings of the poison are not so evi
dent as in those less favorably situated.
On the northern outskirts of our city on
Sundays we used to see great gangs of boys
pelting each other with stones, or lolling
around the commons, cultivating the small
vices, in full view almost of half a score of
churches.
These children are proper objects for the
special efforts of Sunday-schools. Here is a
field as yet but partially tilled; here is where
an antidote can be applied to check the ra
vages of the poison. How to reach these
classes should be the most important ques
tion of the admirer or supporter of Sunday
schimls. We not only say to him " Hold
fast to that which thou hest," but "add,
lest thy work be incomplete."
A Letter from General Geary.
The following letter from General Geary has
been handed us for publication, and, though
not of a very recent date, we think it.of SUM
cleat interest to lay before our readers :
WASHINGTON CITY, D. C., August 19,1863.
lely. DEAR Sin: Allow me to congratulate you
upon the auspicious results of the Union Con
vention, which has just closed it operations
at Harrisburg The selections that body has
made for Auditor and Surveyor Generals, in '
the persons of those gallant soldiers, General
Hartranft and Col. Campbell, renders every
where the highestsatisfaction. This generous
recognition of the services and sutrerings of
these officers rendered in the Reid is heartily
appreciated. They are noble soldiers, educa
ted citizens, and most .estimable gentlemen
and 1. feel assured that the loyal citizens and -
soldiers of Pennsylvania will rally round
them, and give them a cord tot and unwavering
support.
I have to thank you, sir, personally, for the
able, patriotic, and truly national declamation
of principles which you made before the con
vention. They will find a most cordial re
sponse in the breast of every loyal Pennsylva
nian.
The platform of principles adopted by the
COuvention merits more than a passing con
sideration. From beginning to end, each and
every one of the resolutions is " sound to the
core," and eminently national in its character.
They embody those monitions whiclithe loyal
men of the North cannot disregard; they. ren
der that justice which has long been. withheld ;
they administer those rebukes which arepro
per and fitting; they Contain the declarations
of principles upon which -alone an enduring
republic :can be established.
The cordial endorsements of President
Johnson and Secretary Stanton are just
tributes to the exalted characters Of two
of ills purest statesmen or the Ameri
can Republic. Whatever else may be said,
Andrew Johnson never can he charged with
having betrayed any trust rep_osed in his
hands by the loyal people Of the orth--no,not
one. He can never be charged With treason to
any of the great principles of American free
dom upon which lie was elected. And the
i,ame. of Edwin M. Stanton, which it has
pleased the members of the convention in
their deliberations to mention, is one that will
" neverdie," for it will resist the empire of
decay in those bold lines which his thin and
untiring : hand has traced upon the last four
tears or our bloody, thrilling, and terrible
history. Time and space will not permit m 6
to express myself upon these subjects as fully
and as perfectly as I otherwise would, and,
therefore, this must suffice.
We are approaching one of the moat import
ant epochs intlaehistory thenation. klinerg
in g from a state of cruel,bloody andyindictive
war, we find the Union somewhat shattered,
but it is triura_phantly preserved. Armed tree-
UM is crushed everywhere. The work of the
soldier is done. The ..dulesatan must bind up the
wounds that still remain, and restore the
nation renewed and dlsenthralled, with in
finitely more grandeur than the original, and
realize an immense harvest from the costly
crop that has been sown. Among the results
of which may be enumerated the perpetuation
of our glorious Union, free and universal edu
cation among the citizens of the itepubtic
without regard to COWL PIM " ALT, NEN"
shall be equal before the law, at least as far as
refers to the protection of life, property and-
the "pursuits of happiness," leaving the ad
justment of the "right of suffrage" to the
people of the several States, who should be
deft "perfectly free' , to regulate and determine
that question in their own way. American
supremacy should be maintained upon the
American continent, particularly including the
enforcement of . the "Monroe doctrine" in the
Republieof MONICO, Something must be clone to
liberate the peo_ple of that nation from French
and Austrian .imperial rule. Its toleration
endangers the durability of our own form of
Government. The usurpation of the . Mexican
overnment is an offshoot of the rebellion. The
Suppression of the latter will not be perfected
until the former itself be suppressed mad a
republican government replace the Imperial.
The' herculean task of guiding the ship of
state safely through the throes and surges of
reconstruction should be given. only to our
moat patriotic and most en .tent citizens, and
the future of our Republic will - be more glori
ous than it has ever yet neutered into the
heart of man to conceive."
With assurances of 'the continuation of our
10n/4...standing personal friendship, and of my
best wishes for your welfare in every respect,
I am, very truly,
Your friend and obedient eervant,
JOHN W. GEARY.
The Magazines.
Harpers' Magazine for October is particularly
rich in engravings, having forty-two, which il
lustrate the several original papers, viz:
Down in the Cinnabar 'Mines, Visit to the Isle
of the Puritans, Sherman's Great March, and
Fighting Joe Hooker—and also " Armadale 4 '
by Wilkie Collins, and Our Mutual Friend' ,
by Charles dickens. There is a murder in this
last related with true power, and this is in
striking contrast with the charming chapter
in which the home-life of Mr. and Mrs. John
Itokesmith is presented. In all probability,
we shall speedily have the downfall of Mr.
Boffin, who, we predict, will finally be pro.
vided for by having one of the famous dust
mounds made over to him. The account of
the production of Cinnabar, in the opening
article, is full of interest. A vorypretty story
is that entitled " One of my Souoiars,ii and
"Oolie 19 is nearly as good. The Editor's
Drawer is as full of Moats as the last edition
of Joe Miller, and the lkionthly Iteeord of Cur•
rent Events continues clear, reliable, and
condensed. (Received from T. B. Peterson, it
Brothers.)
The fourteenth number of Harper's Pictorial
History of the 'War brings the illustrated nar
rative down to April, 1882. The size of this
publication, which is that of Harper's Weekly,
permite the Introduction of large engraTings.
For our part, we like to havei
batt-e-scenes aitd
maps upon a respectable scale. When this
history is completed, it will be acceptable in
thousands of families throughout this nation.
(Received from T. B. Peteraon & Brothers.)
The most remarkable paper in the October
number of the Atlantic Monthly is a French
poem, called u1T081, 19 written by IL W, Long
fellow, and sent to Mr. Agassiz, with a basket
of wine, on last Christmas Eye. It reads so
like a veritable chanson, with its pleasant re
frain, that Beranger himself, we doubt not,
would have been pleased with it. Of course,
Air. Longfellow will put it into English
verse : it would be pitiful for any mere
ordinary verse-maker to attempt to translate
it. There are two stories of the war here, and
we would suggest, as a novelty, the issue of a
single number of Mag,a without one. There
is having too much of a good thing. We have
here, too, a poem called "Abraham Lincoln;
Oummer, liii," which fills thirteen octavo
pages, and consists of between live and six
hundred lines. There was no occasion for
this wonderful diffuseness—particularly as
"Abraham Lincoln, an Horatian Ode," by
Richard henry Stoddart, has covered the
whole subject in a far better manner and at
one-third of the length. The conclusion. of
" Needle and Garden" maintains the interest
of that labor-story very well, and there is a
further portion of Ik Marvers "Dr. Johns."
A long criticism (a second part, too,) upon
Wilhelm Meister conclusively shows that the
critic, sees much more of a book than the au
thor does—sometimes. A library has been
written upon the hidden meaning of Shaks
peare, and it Is possible that he only
expressed what he Said, and meant nothing
more. The conclusion of "Coupon Bonds" Le
excellent—the writer is one whom we should
like to meet again in print. The opening pa
per, " saints who have had Bodies," is at once
sensible and suggestive ; but, as a whole, this
is one of the feeblest numbers of the Atlantic
Monthly we have ever read. The book notices,
let us say, are judicious and well written. (Re
ceived by 1 B. Pugh.)
Our Young Folks, issued by the publishers of
the Atlantic Monthly, has matured, in its ten
months' of existence, into a magatine which
all ages may read with pleasure. There is
scarcely a second:rate paper in the October
number. Mrs. Child opens with a pleasant
sketch called " Grandfather's Chestnut Tree."
Lucy Larcoon gives " Gipsy Children's Song,"
which would be more in place if we had Gip
sies here. "The Cruise of the Leopold , '
opens so well that we shall look with
interest for its continuation. Mrs. Stowe,
Mrs. Wells, Louise E. Chollet, Carleton
and J Trowbridge also contribute, and
Captain Mayne Reid, as is his wont, heaps
adventure upon adventure, in his Munchau.
sen-like romance of "Afloat in the Forest."
There are sixteen _wood engravings in this
number—well executed, from original draw
ings. (Received from T. B. Pugh.)
Hours at Home, edited:by J. M. Sherwood and
published by Charles Scribner & Cu., New
ibriiyis a new rarettnly, magazine, exactly
half a year old, deVeted to religious and popu
lar literature: Its Contents are mostly origi
nal. Borrowed articles are honorably credited
to the authors, or to the periodicals in which
they first appeared. A serial tale of con
siderable merit, entitled " Geoffrey, the Lol
lard," is running through its pages. The lite
rary articles, in the October number, unat
tractive, consisting of '"lrving at Sunnyside
in 1559, ,, by John Esten Cooke ; "Mrs. Lydia
Sigourney," by Miss C. E. Beecher; and
"The author of Annie Laurie," by Colonel
J. G. Wilson. For the public information,
we may mention that "Annie Laurie,. as
well as that beautiful Scottish lyric, " The
Land of the Leal," was written by Caroline
Oliphant, a native of Perthshire, in Scotland,
who became Baroness Nairn by marriage,
and
died in 1E45, at the age of seventy-nine. It is
singular, also, that Auld Robin Gray," an
other ballad of humble Scottish life, should
have been written by another titled lady. The
lipening paper here, on "England and Ame
rica" contains some home-truths which we
trust will be reprinted abroad; and eoncludes
with an account of the reason why " the cold
shoulder" was given, during the recent ses
sions of the Congregational National Council
at Boston, to the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, one of the
delegates from the Congregationalists of Eng
land and Wales, who, as Editor of the British
Quarterly _Revlon', had been violently and per
sistently inimical to the Union cause during
the four years of the war. With the exception
of Dr. Guthrie, and he only during the last
year, scarcely any clergyman of the Presby
terian churches of Scotland gave a good word
to the bold soldiers and good men who have
been struggling to break down the curse of
Slavery in this country , . (Received/rein TB.

In the October number of CodeYs Lady's
Book we find, as froritispiece, a remarkably
fine engraving representing five of the seven
of Raphael's Cartoons, the property of the Bri
tish .nation, and justly estimated for their
high value among the world's art treasures.
The Cartoons here represented, in a miniature
size, but with a delicacy of detail which the
utmost skill of the graver has rarely at
tained, are The Death of Ananias ; Paul
Preaching at Athens ; Sacrifice at By - atm). St.
Peter Healing the Lame Man; and Elymas
struck -with Blindness. We can assure Godey's
InhltitUdinOuS readers that, in this illustra
tion, they have one of the best-executed en
gravings ever given with a periodicai in any
country. (Received from L. A. Godey.)
Peterson's Ladies' NatiOnal Magazine has thirty
articles, one-half of which are purely literary,
and nearly half a hundred engravings. The

in this magazine for some time.

inst., were hauled at 4 P. M., and again started
for the regular trial of 96 hours, and continued
until brought to an abrupt termination by the
bursting of the Algonquin's boiler feed-pipe,
and the drawing of the fires from the boilers.
When the accident occurred, the experiment
had lasted hi hours and 43 ininutes—the whole
duration was to have been 96 hours.
- - .
Owing to the accident, we cannot give the
results ascertained exactly in the manner re
commended by the Board of Experts, but we
baii give the results as ascertained, in the
manner directed by your original order, and
which we believe to be accurate.
In that order we were directed to run the
engine several hours, tO bring the fires into
steady action and the machinery into proper
working condition. We were then to com
mence the trial, noting the state of the fires.
At the end of the trial we were to have the
fires, steam-pressnre, water-level, etc., the
same as at the commencement,
At the time of the bursting of the Algon
quin's pipe, the fires in the boilers of both ves
sels were in good condition, and the steam
pressure and water-level about the same as at
the commencement.
We Consider that at 8 o'clock P. Di, of the.s2(l
inst., the engines of both vessels baying been
run about three hours from the commence
ment of the trial, the fires were in steady ac
tion and the machinery in proper working
condition.
From this time to 11 P. M. of the 24th inst., a
few minutes previous to the breaking doWn of
the Algonquin% engine, is fifty-one hours, the
mean results of which are as follows, namely :
Wigki.
Total time of trial in hours.... 51 51
Total No. of revolutions of wheels... 45,149 44,918
Total No. of pounds of anthracite.... 80,400 79,230
Average No. of revolutions per min. 14,754.6 14,679.1
Average No. of lbs. of coal per h0ur..1,576.5 1,553.7
Average pressure of steam In boilers. 16.8 70.79
Average point of cutting off 0.475 0.111
According to the above figures, obtained
from the log, which was accurately kept on
both vessels, the economical performance of
the machinery of each was equal.
At the time of the failing of the machinery
Of the Algonquin., the wale" , in her boilers had
reached a density which required "blowing
off," and, for the remainder of the trial, she
would have been subjected to a considerable
loss of fuel on this account.
The Winooski easily runs the whole 9i hours
without a necessity Of this character. 'The
machinery of the Winooski worked through
out in the most satisfactory manner, showing
it to be durable and trustworth.
Its arrangement is the SiMpleSt and most
convenient possible, and its economy of fuel
equal to that given by the very complex de
sign of the machinery of the Algonquin.
We are, very respectfully,
Your obedient servants,

Colonel J. W. Shaffer recently delivered an
address at Freeport, Illinois, in which he said
of General Patrick :
was in Virginia about the time of the °leet
tion, and visited Richmond. Halleck was in
command of the military, and I found that
rebels, under the rule, were infinitely better
off than loyal men. General Patrick was pro
vost marshal, and, as a sample of, his fitness
for the place, I will state what one of General
Ord's staff officers told me. , The officer said:
General Patrick, as provost marshal, had the
control of all troDerty seized t and, as several
of General Ord's staff officers were without
quarters, two of them called upon General
Patrick, and asked to have the house of the
notorious rebel General Winder turned over
to them. They had no doubt of getting it, as
this Winder was the brutal officer that ordered
all the outrages inflicted upon our prisoners
at Andersonville; exceeding in brutality and
devilish fiendishness anythin in history. The
'Black Hole of Calcutta,' the brutal treatment
the English gave the Sepoy prisoners in the
war in India, and the 'Massacre of Wyoming,'
were outdone by Winder, in his deliberate
slow torture to death of our country's brave
detention in his charge. I suppose no more
nendish rute than Winder could be found
outside or inside of hell. General Patrick
straightened himself and said: 'Gentlenien, you
cannot haVe General Winder's house; he was
a olass.mate of mine at West Point, and a gen
tleman, and his property shall be protected. 13
LETTER FROM ALEXANDER 11. STEPHENS.—A

this city. The letter is dated Fort Warren,

letter Dlr. Stephens

THE RUM PRICE OF Bursa.—The people of
Philadelphia are subject to as gross extortion
as we are here by the farmers and hucksters.
One of the papers informs us that on Saturday
last there were several persons, supposed to
be human beings, and wearing clothlug of the
present styles, who had the hardihood to ask
one dollar, and as much as one dollar and
twenty.llve cents per pound, for butter. To
this swindling demand some persons submit
ted, but there were many who could well have
afforded it who refused to be cheated' by_ an
infamous attempt at extortion. These prices
exceed the highest demanded during the war,
whet, the high price of gold was the excuse.
There is not the same cause now, and yet the
prices demanded are higher than were asked
at the most extravagant period. There is; no
dcod cause for this increase in prices, in
rought, destruction of crops, or any other
cause. It is simply the result of 'combination,
and a want of conscience onthe part of coun
try people, but more particularly of the huck
sters. There is but one remedy that we know
of, and that we advise in these words—don't
buy it.—Piitsburg Gazette.
Too Lars.—Co]. Davis, the Democratic can
didate fors Auditor General, denies that he is
responsible for the verj scandalous articles
In l is own paper, the Doylestown Denioeraf i
in the dark days of Mit The denial comes too
late. Col. Davis was mustered out of service
nearly a year ago, and has never put in this
denial until now. The silence of a year speaks
more loudly in approval Of those articles than
this denial does against themigiven only after
he has become a candidate. If he had never
been nominated the denial - never would have
been made.—Pittaburg Gaze(k. • .
CAMPAIGN IN NEW ..1 - Easnr.—A letter re

are standing by their candidates manfully, and
the Germans are doing well.”
