A;l we have to say is, pile on the coal and the sul phur.' There is certainly a great advantage in Vieing "used to a thing," and we have often lien surprised at the endurance of the rebels and their sympathisers, under their afllic ions and "torments" both mental and phy sical. We never had, however, any definite j idea before, of the exact kind of fuel used j by the "old boy" in the lower regions, for j '.he punishment ol his victims.

Thi'ir story chills the blood almost in in recital,, and it nemi in credible that tho atrocities to which they and their tullow Bufferers have been subject ed could have been practiced outside of the territory of the most benighted ravages on the face of the earth. We give tho shame ful facts jnst as they are -told by Captain Thorton, of the 13th Tennessee Cavalry, one ol the number : "During our stay at Columbus not on ounce of meat has been issued to us. We have had no nhelttr except what we could maKu ror ourselves out of brush, which it was next tu Impossible to get in sufficient quantities. Our rations were corn meal and sorghum molasses of a very inferior quality. We had no means of cooking, and were not allowed to pick up fuel. Those of us having no money starved to death, and the best of us scarely were able to do more than exist. When we were captured we were robbed of every dollar and everthing of value. Rebel officers and soldiers robbed alike, even taking the buttons olf our clothes. The adjutant general of Major General Cleburns's stall' took the hat oft the head of the adju tant of the 15th Ohio, saving, 'This is' it good hat, and jiit such a one as I want,' and carried it olf. It is universal among officers and men to rob every prisoner. Our treatment has been the most infamous and inhuman that could be conceived. No hu man being cau live long under such treat ment. Negroes were very kind to us, and helped us all they could during the twelve days that we were getting from Columbia to the gunboat Canandaigua. The private soldiers at Columbia are lntinatoly worse oil' than the officers. I he miseries ot tlio men cannot be described. Many of them have nothing to cover their nakedness but a grain sack, w ith holes cut in for their naked urms. Dozens crawl out of the prison pen every night and are shot by tho guards. Many are killed in this manner. Those that es cape to the woods are hunted by dogs, and torn and mangled. A Captain Parker es caped on the Oth of October, and was hunt ed by b'.oodliounds, who tore him so horri bly that he died in a few days. If we had the time we could tell volumes of incidents of this horrible character. There are about twenty-ono hundred prisoners in this pen at Columbus, and hundreds are without panta loons or shoes. For days together all ra tions are witheld from the prisoners, and then a rebel officer comes in and oilers food to those who will take the oath of allegiance and join the Southern army. In this way, under the pangs of hunger, many have ta ken the oath of allegiance to the Confeder acy, but, of course, few feel, that the oath, under such circumstances, is binding upon their consciences. Jt is impossible lor any words to convey an idea of tho utter wretchedness and misery of this prison life at Columbia." Tin: i'esij i:xri:iiTio:. The Fish expedition returned to St Paul on Friday night, 11th inst. It was organ ized at St. Paul he-t spring, and consisted ot emigrants, a guard ot soldiers, and a corps f - a .i. . e .. . of men to take care of the Government pro. perty, drive teams, e.'C The train consisted of about one hundred wagons. The expe- I dition reached Fort 1'idgtly safely,u!id were here lurnished with a guard ot fifty cuvalry ! men, under Lieutenant Phillips. They then j went to Fort Mice via Fort WiuUworth, nnd after a week's delay in ferrying across the ; Missouri, arrived them on August 10th. :ueh- i Iheir guard from tins wrsl was a ie ' ment of filly cavalry -under Lieut. Smilh 1 co;iYu!e.-ceiita drawn from uill'trcnt ngi ' iwius. They lclt Fort Rice on August 2lst; ; and journeyed up the Cannon Ball river to the last cussing made by General Stilly, ' wiier.ee they Mriiek in a south-westerly di rection over a tine country to the Red Uni te, some eighty -niies distant. While pas sing Uirough tho Red Buttcs they tir-t saw hostile Indians, the Unkpnpa Sioux. Mr. Nendiek, of St. Anthony, an emigrant, was killed while looking for a lost ox. The In dians then followed" the train for three days, their number apparently increasing every day, three hundred being counted at the last. It was a continual , running skirmish. There were only 103 armed men in the train. It required about 100 of these to drive the train. The train was arranged in five par allel columns, forming a square, and the uanl lormeil n line ot defence obout it. " 11 '"'"ans were seen io- gether they were sheiled with a howitzer, a and scattered, nnd if a charge seemed threatened on any portion of the line the I guard at that point was strengthened. j Gn the seeond day the Indians were about three hundred stronger, while Fish had only seventy five available men, und harassed his camp on one idu with a strong party, while they endeavored to break through his line on the other. They were repulsed vith the lots of a number of braves, und finally gathered together on nn eminence, and sent u flag of truee. asking a council with Cap tain Fislv. This was refused, after which they demanded a iur;re quantity of supplies, nnimuuition, beef cattle, ,-.nd iron f"r arrow heads, upon the reception of which they modestly agreed to raise the siege. The next communication was a letter written by a white woman. Mrs. Fannie Iv.clley, who they held captive. The heud men dictated what she was to write, but ut the end of each sentence she appealed for aid to secure her release. The Indians be ing uuablo to read she was in this broken way enabled to Inform the Cantain tliut libr. ' was captured ou tiie 10th of July, near Fort Laramie, with a large emigrant train. The truce grouud was maintained for two days j in order to secure her release. Captain Fisk i offered them his saddle horse and a span of horses h.-.ruessed to a wagon loaded with provisions, if they would surrender her, and . they agreed to do so the next day, but du i ring tue night they moved their camp, and sent word they would carry her to sonio ! fort and got provisions enough for the win- ler. She wrote Captain Fisk that he had killed a large number with bullets, and that others were very sick aud dying. The sick ness was readily explained, 'us a quantity of hard tack with a little strychnine mixed in, had been left w here the Iudians could cap ture it and their indisposition followed. It was subsequently ascertained that one hun lred men, women, aud children were killed by this btrutngem. On the third day of this rur-niiirr firl,t Capt.

The only official information received bv the press yesterday, was that Sherman had destroyed the Northwestern and Atlantic railroad from Atlanta to Allatoonn, the Chattahoochee bridgo inclndcd. This movement is difficult to understand, except ns explained by unofficial reports that were in circulation during yesterday. If they be true, the destruction of railroad can be un derstood, though it w ill still appear a su perfluous labor. lleports had it that fihrrmnn. havinff burn ed Atlanta on the I5t,h,!ast Tuesday, had set out for Macon, with three corns, amountim; to thirty-five thousand men, and that he iiuu on yesterday reached Jonesboro', twen ty-two miles south of Atlanta. It there is truth in - these accounts, as we believe there is, Y heeler has much to an swer for. It devolved upon him to watch Sherman and keep posted ns to his move ments. Only four days ago he reported him "moving towards Bridgeport. Now it is said ho reports him movinir towards Macon jinil as above stated. Wo regret to say that this latter report is corroborated by other evidence. Sherman will, we think, meet with oppo sition he does not calculate upon before he reaches the fortifications of Macon. These works, should he ever reach them, he will tlnd of most formidable character, and with troops that before that time will bo collect ed in them they must give him a vast deal more of trouble than he evidently counts upon. If Georgians will battle for their trenches us the Petersburg militia did lust June for theirs or the Kielimoiul militia did at Staunton liiver Bridge, later in tho sum mer, Macon will be saved. In undertaking this expedition Sherman is too purdent a man to rely upon subsist ing his army on the country, and it becomes interestingund important to consider what point lie, calculates upon making his base of supplies. His destruction of the railroad nortliwcst ot Atlanta, proves thut he has , cut loose from the Chattanooga base; he I must tlieu I.e losing to some point on the Atlantic or the Gulf. We are disposed, for several reasons, to believe that l'cnsaeoia is the selected point. This is i:ot because of its greater proximity than any other post to bis present Held of operations, but because it is aecertained that for more than a month very largo supplies have been accumulated there. If lie Jails to take Macon at the tirst dash, he will pro bably run for l'eusacola, und make it his new base of operation. It is not to be pre sumed that he carries supplies sufficient to enable him to inter upon a siege which shall occupy any considerable length of time. We have ventured the opinion that Sher man hud l'eusacola in view ns a new base of supplies, but it is proper to say there ure reasons why he might select soine point on the Atlantic as beintr nearer at hand.

A few davs since. In romnnnv with TOT fficiiil, O. J. llr.se, I Nq., one cf tho Board of Public? Works Comiiiishioiurt, I visited the. L'ike Tunnel, now in course of construction, and, being much pleased with what I LV seen of the Interior arrangement and ftdap iiioniiy to us requirements, 1 leei I me gir nig your readers a little information in re gard to this grent public work. On arriv ing at the grounds, located immediate); cast of the Water Works, we entered ft low and roughly-coni-triicted building, in which the machinery for the construction of the tunnel it oluced. consisting of ft steam en gine, a largo upright tubular boiler, miners' tools, rtc. We here found one of the contractor's su peiinteiidents, Mr. Edward OB'erman, Jr., who not only gave the desired permission to examine the work, but accompanied, us on our uuikrgiound mission. Stopping the dirt car on i:r next descent, we got aboard anil were gently yet swiftly let down the perpendicular shaft to the month of the tun nel, some eighty feet from the Burface, where the car with its living freight was seized from behind by two stalwart men, who with powerful chests and brawny muscle, pro pelled us rapidly on two parallel rails to the farthest ci:d of the tunnel then eight hundred and ten feet In length from the mouth. The noise made by the rapid mo tion of the car sounded in our cars like dis tant thunder. The novelty of the situation can beft be imagined by the rentier, when 1 state that we were then eighty leet below the surface of the ground, ami some hun dreds ot lectin nn easterly direction beneath the blue waters of old Lake Michigan, thick darkness surrounding us partially dispelled by the light of a tiny oil lamp, carried by t'ue men who propelled us along. Un arriving at the extreme end ot the tunnel, we found the miners und their assist ants at work with pick and axe, delving w ith nil their might into the hard compact mass of blue clay that forms the principal strata through which the tunnel runs. The extreme hardness of this clay is incredible. 1 tried the pick for a little while, but soon gave up in disguest, not being able scarcely to make an impression with the sharp point ot;tlie instrument on lis Unit-like bosom. The miners, two in number, were splendid specimens of physical nature, and it was really delightful to look at these powerful men swing aloft their mufcular arms, and with a quick, heavy thud, strike deep their tools into the hard muss. I; watched them for u long, long time, hoping to see a short respite from their arduous lubors; but no, these men, long inured to such toil, knew not when to tire. They work in shifts of J eight hours eac h one shut ot miners coin j mem ing work at three o'clock iu the aftir ! noon, until eleven o'clock nt night, when j they are relieved by another shifts, who work until seven A. M., the next morning, w hen the bricklayers take the place of all, i and build up what has been excavated by I the miners. On an average, ubut eight to ! ten feet u day is excavated, j At the distance of seven hundred and ' lil'tv live feet from the moulii ure two cham- I beis one on euch side ot the tunnel nine I "y ten tent in size, ami beven feet in heigt.t, t!V tiJrs nnd top beinyr braced up with massive timbers. These chainlK-rs are in tended to facilitate the progress of the work, us the cement, mortor and brick can there be prepared, and u second car can be used on the railway, as either one of them caurbc sw itched off into a chamber to ullow the other to pass. The system of ventilation is simple, yet very efficient. A ten inch pipe is connected with the chimney of the boiler above ground, und carried thence along the interior of the tunnel, a section of pipe be ing daily added as the miners progress. We found the atmosphere particularly pure throughout the entire length, except" a few feet in the farthest cud. Some of our seus.i :..n l:;iiie:-, a few ! ,s , '"tide the ns- ' serlion, that the miners lux I s.rtf It ",.'" in 1-i'fe quantities; but there was. in fact, no round tor the assertion, if we except the trifling, and I may say insignificant one, of (hiding a small piece of rock whic h bore on its surface marks of oil somewhat like the stone that the Presbyterian Church on the Avenue is built of. That the work will bo well and thoroughly executed, our citi zens need not have any doubt, as it is constantly under the supervision of three inspectors appointed by the city. Their n, tmes are Messrs. George Dewer, II. Kroes ehell, and Edward Everett, who relieve each other every eight hours in the twenty-four. Our visit being nt night, I had the pleasure of an introduction to the first named gentleman, w horn we found in company with the miners, diivcting their operation. Alter selecting some choice specimen of pyrites, which I found in abundance in the soil, we signified -our wish to return, when we again got aboard the car, and were soon safely at the mouth of the tunnel, Disem barking from the cur. we stepped on to the platform, and in another minute were rapid ly ascending the shaft, and soon were safely above ground. Your reader will recollect j ti.at ground for the Luke Tunnel was first broken on the 17th of March last, and since then the work bus been vigorously pushed forward night ami day. 1 he tunnel, when completed .will extend two miles from the mouth of the shaft, in on easterly direction, under Lake Michigan. Ou citizens will then have an unfailing supply of pure water a disideratum Chicagoans cau justly ap preciate. Till then, wo wish the "big 'bore" God speed. n Kit vflV AT 51 At 07 Nkw YuitK, Nov. 23.

The Richmond Enquirir publishes tho annexed summary ot war news : The very atmosphere seems to be charged with rumors ; borne on every breeze from the south, they circulate about the corners of Richmond after a somewhat tempestuous fashion, and the croukers, few and ridicu lous, as usual, are looking out for squalls. Sherman's position is at. vet not cleurly de fined, and consequently the field is opeu for every sort of story. The designs of Grant appear of a more important character, and will iu a few days, no doubt, put on their consequence and let us see whut they are. Heavily reinforced, he evidently intends to make a positive movement for the investment, if not the capture of Richmond. Tho enemy still vigorously bombard Charleston, S. C.

Some 18 or 20 years ago a young actress, a Miss Hil ilreth, plajed several evenings at the Dor ranee street theatre, Providence. I happen ed to see her in the tradegy of Jane Shore. Her part was a secondary one, that of the friend and confident of Edward's beautiful favorite, but her conception of the character surprised ine by its originality and its im pressive truthfulness. I felt that she had great dramatic talent, and often wondered that her name l ad so entirely disappeared from the stage. In the spring of 1849, w hile visiting a friend in Lowell, I found one morning, on returning from a walk, a curd from Mrs. Benjamin Butler, with an I invitation to take tea with lit r I In- following evening. I went with my host and hostess, j roomer guest were invited, i lie name i of Mrs. Benjamin Butler had for me at that time no other significance tha:i might have had the name ot .Mrs. John Smith.

Butler was a .young lady of Draeut, who, fascinated by the stage, nnd conscious of dramatic power, had obtained tin engage ment at one of the Boston theatres, and w ho was about two years earnestly ttevoted to her profession, when Mr. l'enj imin Boiler prollered his heart and hand, and won her back to domestic life. - I found that she still loved the art, and prevailed on tier to p-ad to tnc some of her favorite passages in Shakespeare. She read, I rememlier, the prison scene in "Measure for Measure,"' with a passionate pathos that nuidi- me half ro gret that the "smart Lowell biwer ' had won her away from Molpomeny and ail her trag ic pplendors. t or.

It is a coik list, made of two layers of cork, which are prepared with composed oil, and packed or attached to an interven ing piece of canvas, muslin, or other textile fabric, in such n manner that a hat is pro duced which is licht. durable, elastic, and impervious to water and to the rays of the sun.

These men, never for a monieiH los ing sight ot their organization never ior a day giving up their claims 'to the proud title of Democrats, still sacriliced everything like party feeling, and nobly took their places in the ranks of the great Union army, there to battle, and, if necessary, to die in the defence of their country. The War De mocracy have crowned themselves with im perishable glory. They have earned and they wi'd receive the most sincere gratitude of the true mgnof all patties who now rally to the support ot the Government. No set of men had greater sacrifices to make while cutting the trammels of party, than the War Democracy. Old political associations thut had invested themselves with the most sacred friendships, were discarded broken up, for the nobler work of serving the coun try. All honor, then, we say, to the War Democracy. They may indeed be regarded not only as the defenders aud upholders of principle, but as the champions of the Gov ernment.
