"Etlmiitul Kcrko," who, it will be remem

ns an aincUier peueu cfitiunissiuncr, gives iu
the December Atltmtti tin nccotiut of his
visa to tuc iar-iunitii J.ihiiy l'nsoii. 11 is
so well written, uud give3 such a eleur idea
of I.IH9 living-toiub to so iiiiiny of our bravo
soldiers, that we do our readers an injustice)
if wo do not present thein with its leading
features. "Kcrkts" had visited tho (jtato
Department, talked with the magnates there,
supped, slept, anil breakfasted at the bpotts
wood, and early iu the morrting he strolled out
through the deserted streets, in the direc
tion of the prison, accompanied by Judge
Otild. At last, he goes on to say, wo reach
ed a dingy brick building, from one corner
of which protruded a small sign, bearing,
in black letters uu a white ground, the
words :
l.IUr.Y AND SON", CHIP f:llAM)I.I-;nS AND
t.HlKKKH.
It was three stories high, and, I was told,
eitrlitv teet in wiillli, nml a liuuilieo' null
ten in depth. In front, the first story was
on a level with the stiect, allowing space for
a tier of diinocons under the sidewalk; but
in the rear the land sloped away till the
basement floor rose above the ground. Its
unpuinted walls were scorched to a rusty
lirown, anil its sunken doors and low win
dows, filled here and t litre with a dusky
pane, were cobwebbed mil weather stained,
giving the whole building a most uninviting
and ill solute appearance. A flaxen haired
boy, in ragged butternuts and a Union cap,
and an old man, in grey regimentals, with a
bent body and a limping gait, were pacing
to and IVo before it, with muskets on their
slmuMii-rs, but no other soldiers were in
sight.
Opening n door lo the right, wc went in
to a large high studded apartment, with a
I are Hoof and greasy brown walls, hung
round with battle sprues anil cheap litho
graphs of the rebel leaders. Several otlicers
in 'sL-eession gray" were lounging about
this loom, and one of them, a short, slight
ly built, jotithl'ii!-'. wiking man, rose as wc
entered, and in a half pompous, half-obsequious
w.iy, said to Jtidgi; uld :
"Ah 'M'o Jonel, (Juki, I am very glad to see
vou.
The . Tit do returned

the otlieer fo us as
r of thu hibl.y." I
ha. i hea
liu tatii-e
I of him, and it'Waa with some re
that I look his proU'ered hand.
j Iluwevt-r, I did lake it, ;ind at the same
I tim - luiiiirel :
1 "Are you related lo Dr. Turner, of Favcttc
vd e '
I '"Xo, sir. I am of the old Virginia faMii
: ly.'' (I never fuel a negro - hipper nor u
! 1 .ctji'o-ti ailer who ilid not belong to that
family.) "Ate you a Xorih Carolinian V
-No, sir."
llefote I could say another word the
.Iitdge said : '-.No Major; these gentlemen
hail from Georgia. They arc stranger here,
and I'll lhauk you to show them over the
prison."
"Certainly, Colonel, most certainly. I'll
do it with great pleasure."
And the little man bustled about, put on
his cap, gave a few orders to his subordin
ates, unci then lt d us through another out
side door into the prison. We entered a
room about forty feet wide and a hundred
feci deep, with bare brick walls, a rough
plank Hour, and narrow, dingy windows, to
w hose sash only a few broken panes were
clinging. A row of tin wash - basins and a
wooilt 11 trough which served as a bathing-
tub were at one end of it, and half a dozen !
cheap stools and hard bottomed clours wile
littered about the flour, but it had no other
furniture. And this room, with five others
j of a smaller size and appointments, mid two
liiisoiiieiits tlooreil w ith earth anil tilled w ith
thbrin, compute the famous J.ibby prison, iu
which for months together, thousands of the
best and bravest men that ever went to bat
tle have been allowed to rot and to. starve.
At the date ot our visit, not more than a
hundred prisoners were iu the Libbv, its
contents having recently been emptied into
a worse sink 111 (.norgia; but almost con
stantly bince the war began, twelve and
sometimes thirteen hundred of our otlicers
have bceii hived within those half dozen
desolate rooms and tilihy cellars, with a
space of only ten feet by two allotted to
each for all the purposes of living. Overun
with vermin, perishing with cold, breathing
a stilled, tainted utmosphcrc, r.o space al
lowed them to rest by day, uud lying -.down
at night "wormed 'and dovetailed together
like fish in a basket" their daily rations
only two ounces of Btale beef and a small
lump of hard coru bread, and their lives the
forfeit, if they caught but one streak of
Cod's blue sky through those filthy win
dows they have endured there nil tho hor
rors of a middle passage. My soul sickened
as I looked on the scene of their wretched
ness. And while thesis thoughts were iu
my mind the criuging, foul-mouthed, bru
tal, contemptible rullian w ho had caused all
this misery, stood within two paces of me 1
I could have reached out my hand, nnd with
half an ctfort crushed him, und 1 did not
do it I Some invisible power held my arm,
for murder was in my heart.
"This is where tho Yankeo devil, Strcight,
that raised hell go among you down in Geor
gia, got out," said Turner, pausing before a
jut in the wall ofXho room. "A flue was
here, yon see, but we've bricked it up.
They took up the hearth, let themsclves
down into the basement, and then dug
through the wall und eighty feet under
ground, into tho yard of a deserted building
over tho way. If you'd like to see the place
step down with mu."
We decended a rough plank stairway and
entered the basement. It was a dump,
dismul place, and even then-iu hot July
wcutlicr-us cold us an ice-house. What
must it have been in midwinter!
The kecer led us along the wall where
Streight and his party had broken out, and
then suid :
"It is three feet thick, but they went
through it and all the way under the street
with only a few case knived and a dust-pan.'
"Whar' the keepVl" I asked, adopting
the Georgian dialect, in couseipicnce of a
hint from Judge Ould. "W got lot o' 'em
haiut yet"
"Xo; only su; step this way, and I'll show
von,"
IUIASSER & E. WILVERT,
SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER
The dungeons were low, close, dismal
apartments, about twelve feet square, board
ed oil' from the remainder of thu cellar, and
lighted by a narrow grating under tho side
walk. The Hours were encrusted with tilth,
nnd tho walls stained and damp with thu
rain, which, in wet weather, und dropped
down ftom the street.
"And how many docs ye comonly lodge,
here, when your hotel's full?" I asked.
'I hisvc had twenty in each, but fifteen is
about as many as they comfortably hold."
"I rcconj And then tho comfut moughtn't
bo much ter brag on."
The keeper soon invited us to walk into
the adjoining basement. 1 was a few steps
in advance, taking n streight course to tho
entrance, when a sentinel, pacing to and fro
in the middle. of tho npaitment, leveled his
musket so us to bar my way, saying' as he
did so :
'Ye caift't pass yere sir. Ye must gwo
round by the wall."
This drew my arteution to tho spot, and
I noticed that a space about fifteen feet
square, in tho centre of tho room, and di
rectly in front of tho sentinel, had been dug
up recently with n spade. While in ail
other places the ground was trodden to the
hardness and color of granite, this spot
seemed to be soft, and hud the reddish-yellow
hue of tho "sacred soil." Another sentry
was pacing to and fro on its? other side, so
that tho place was completely, surrounded.
Why were they guarding it so closely? The
reason Hashed upon me, and I said "to Tur
uer :
"I say, how many bair'lshas ye in that?-'
"Knough to blow this shanty to ," ho j
answered, curtlv.
J,llll, iui 111,
Ho said no more, but that wa enough
to reveal the black, teething hell and rebel
lion has brewed. Can there be any peace
with miscreants who thus deliberately plan
the murder, at one swoop, of hundreds of
urannad and inuocci.t men? Iu this room
seated on the ground or leaning against the
walls, were aliout a dozen rwor te owa who
the jiMlgo told me were hostages, held for a

similar number under sentence of death bv
our government. Their dejected, homesick
look, and weary, listless manner, disclosed
some of the borrows of imprisonment.
"Let us go," I said to the Colonel; "I have
had enough of this."
"Xo, vou must see the un stairs." said
Tunner. "It ain't so tzloomy up there."
It was not so trloomv. for some little sun
light did come through the dingy windows;
but the few. prisoners in the upper rooms
wore the same sad. disconsolate look ns
those in the lower storv.
'It is not hard fare or close quarters that
kills men,' said Judge Ould to me; 'it is
homesickness, nnd the strongest und the
bravest succumb to it first.'

The many friends of this gallant officer
(Lieut J. Madison Drake,) will be gratified
to learn that he arrived at his home iu tiiis
city on Saturday morning last, having made
a most wonderful escape from his enemies
in South Carolina. We happened to be ut
the depot on tlm arrival "uf the Lieutenant
but ho changed and wan was his appear
ance that we had considerable dilliculty in
reconglzing him.

tin tho evening of October 0, while
I truiiKitu from Charleston to Columbia, S. C,
! Lieut. J. Madison Drake, with three brother
i otlicers, jumped from the train and ran into
J the woods. Dlood-hounds were immediate
I ly loosed, but .by wading through heavy
I laurel and cypress swamps for several days
j the otlicers eluded further pursuit. During
this time they suffered greatly from watit
of provisions grapes, persimmons and ber
' ries being their chief staple of food.
Subsequently they lived six days on hard,
dry corn, which Lieut. Drake assures us was
quite palatable.
After reaching a point of two hundred
miles from tho cost, the negroes ministered
unto their wants supplying an abundance
of corn meal and sorghum molasses. Meat
could not be obtained at any price, teach
ing the mountains of western North Caroli
na, the otlicers fell in w hich hundreds of
rebel deserters, Unionists, i!cc. These poor
people did everything in their power for
the otlicers, not only supplying them with
articles of food, but guiding and conduct
ing them from one mountain to another, nil
the immiuent risk of their lives. It was in
Caldwell county that the otlicers organized a
company of loyal North Carolinians. These
recruits mostly men who had refused to
serve in the rebel army accompanied our
friends over two hundred miles, when tho
rebel guerillas becoming dangerous and an
noying, the majority of the- Corolir.iaus
halted, deeming it impurdeut to advance
further until the path became more open
and clear.
Lieutenants Drake and Lewis, however
determined to get into "God's country,"
continued on their course, and succeetled
after various mishups and adventures, iu
safely reaching Kuoxville, Kast Teunesseo,
on the evening of Nov. 10, having march
ed over six hundred and fifty miles in just
six week. Lieut. Drake and Lieut. Lewis
inarched several hundicd miles iu nearly a
bare-footed condition, a portion of thw dis
tance iu four inches of suow. Lieut. Drake,
had his feet badly trozeu.
This escape is considered ono of the most
daring acd wonderful that lum been effect

A Itotmuictt in ICs'iil IJ1V.
A romance in real life, of deep plot nnd
thriling (leiiwiemoiit, is just now the chief
topic of missip in Taunton, 3Ioss. The facts
as rclateu by tho Taunton Jiijiulitii-nn, aru
these :
It appears that about twenty seven years
ago a l.'aptaiu lirown, whose family resided
in .Mattapoiactt, was thu overseer of the es
slato of Mr. Henry E. Clifton, u wealthy
gentleman of liiehmond, Ya. Kroin cause,
w hich still remains a secret, a diUiculty arose
between Captain II. and 3If. C, wherein the
former considered himself the aggrieved
party. To revenge himself for the supposed
wrong ho stoly.Mr. Clifton's infant daught
er, (I hen but six weeks old), on the day she
was christened. The child was brought to
3lattapoiseU, and secretly adopted by lirown
anil his wife as their own. She was mimed
Julia ami grew- to be a woman. When only
sixteen years old she married 3Ir. Isaac (.
Tierce, a printer who learned, his trade in
FalUliver. Several years ago they moved
to Taunton, living for a while at Kast Taun
ton, but more recently at thu Green. Two
children have been bom them one of w hom
is now living. During this long period Mrs.
Pierce has lived iu blissful ignorance of her
high parentage, and Mr. Pierce, who took
her for belter or worse' had never imagined
himself the husband of an heiress, lie
abandoned the printer's trade shortly alter
learning it, and for several years has earned
his daily bread by thu sweat of his brow at
3Ir. Mason's works in this tity. This is
their history until withiu a very short time;
now conies thu itciintumnt.
Last summer, while Utv. 3Ir. Talbot, of
1 .1 . ,
f
quainted with Mr. Clifton and wife, who, it
appears, at the breaking out of the rebellion,
converted their liichmond nronertv into
cash and moved to IJaltimore. In the course
of conversation with Mr. T. remarked upon
she striking resemblance of .Mrs. Clifton to n
lady parishoner of" his in Taunton. No-

1 lormed that she was about twenty-seven,
I Mrs. C. immediately said to her husband,
I "Why that would just lie the ago of our
daughter that was stolen." The matter
I then received their serious attention. .Mr.
i Talbot was taken into their confidence, and
imjuiry instituted as to the reputed parents
of the young lady. 1 Ie returned to Taunton ;
nail a conversation with Mrs. IVrce 111 re
gard to her parentage ; informed her of the
Saratoga conversation, which led her to ask
Mrs. lirowu, who. sire had never doubted,
was her own mother, if she really were such.
nt tno same time telling her tho reason of
the inquiry. Mrs. 15., who had kept the
secret of the child's parentage for twenty
seven years, was so overcome by the ques
tion and the development of facts that she
immediately became ill nnd died of the
heart disease. Heforc her death, however,
she acknowledged that Mrs. 1. was not
her "own daughter. Cnpt. lirown died a
number of years ago. AVithin a few- weeks
the affair has developed itsrlf rapidly. Mr.
and Mrs. Clifton and Mrs. Pierce have met
each other; nnd the old colored woman, who
nursed the abducted infant, has recognized
.Mrs. P. as their real child by a "mole on her
shoulder!" The identity of their long lost
daughter having been fully established, Mrs.
Pierce nnd her husband havo been invited
to live with the Cliftons nnd share iu their
wealth ; and this they arc preparing to do,
having broken up housekeeping and dis
posed of their furniture. The cream of the
affair is that Mrs. Pierce is an ouly child,
and therefore sole heiress to nn estate said
to be worth hundreds of thousands if not
millions of dollars, or as an old lady friend
of Mrs. l'ierce expressed it, "a trifle less
than two millions." '

The Princess Mary of Cambridge has fal

oflicer in the army, and he with her, and
the (Juecn won't let them ho married. There
is a preposterous "Uoyal Marriage Act"
which allows Her Majesty tin unrighteous
veto on the union of a member of the royal
family with anybody out of it, nnd her con
sent has yet to be obtained, though it is
aid that the Princess has solicited it. I
told you recently how she had made herself
ill by "tryint; Danting." She is the plump

of the lovers. Tho Queen has, as is well
known, pretty strong idea of her authority
and prerogative, und folks bet oir her refu
al. Another story is roiii! tho rounds about
the Queen, which I regard as totally nproeh

ofroyal miscegenation. Latterly tho Ma

it is so ; and as much as we appreciate a

The grocer tilled a large tumbler with oil

Co!. Harris, of tho Ohio Farmer, lutely

hi.s visit, says : "llie Concord is alter all tho

tables, tif all the customers w hich we saw
constantly coming in for fruit, three out of
four (if not more) called for the Concord,
though it was side by side with the Dela
ware on tho same table, and sold for tho
same price. The Concords upon Mr. Knox's
trellises were a sight to behold ; the vines
cover the entire trellises troni a foot above
the ground to eight feet in height, nnd
upon his oldest vines thus trained there
w as a wall of pnrple clusters from the bot
tom to the top." This will do for the pre
sent in regard to the Concord. Wc shall
now refer to some others, worthy ot thu at
tention of fanners and others.
In tho first place we advise all those wish
ing to plant out only such varieties ot grapes
as ure, after "titVicicnt experience, known to
be good, hardy, and uniformly productive.
To select the five following: Concord, Dela
ware, Hartford Prolific, Crevding, Telegraph
Diana. If wo want to set out one dozen
vines of these, We should nivide them thus :
-1 Concords, 2 Delaware", 2 Hartford Proli
fic?, 2 Crevelings, 2 Dianas.
We pay but little attention to the fulsomo

which their progators and hired journalist!
nre forcing upon the public. We prefer to
wait until sufficient time has elapsed to test
them thoroughly ; when, should they pos
sess real merit, we shall be among the first
to join in their recommendation.
Our readers should, therefore, abstain from .
risking their money for these new and un
tested varieties, unless they have more mo- ,
ney and more ground than they can other
wise usefully appropriate. Wo pay but lit- '
tic attention to the opinions of lruit com

praise of certain journals, upon the merits
of new fruits of any kind, nnd especially of

keep them soft und pliable. To prepare il,
break and (tut into ainall pieces the shin
bones und hoofs of au ox or cow, and put
them into a kettle. Keep them covered
with water and boil until the oil is extracted
and rises to the surface. While boiling,
water enough should be added from time to
time supply that lout by evaporation, so that
the oil shall not come in contact w ith tho
bones and be again absorjjed. The process
will be hastened by keepTiig' the kettle close

the oil may be dipped off and kept in jugs

Coal 01: Has Tau Uskftl i on Walks.
While visiting the grounds of a friend hi As
toria, wo were struck with the excellence of
Ids paths, and found that they w.ere mado
with common osal or as tar und sand.
The surface for the path is first graded and
covered wilh an inch or two of sand ;it is
then flowed with the tar aud then a cover
ing of ttuml or gravel is placed over this. In
a lew months the whole funis a hard muss
as firm as stone. Tho walk when first made
is n little yielding, but it may be used at
once, taking euro that tiny inequalities bo
remedied before tho work finally hardens.
A walk made in this way is very firm, will
not wash when made upon a 'lope, requires
scarcely any repairs of years, and w hat is
a most important advantage dues not ul
low a weed of any kind to grow upon it. It
is slated that a barrel of tar will make
about fifty feet in length of walk, four feet
wide. .In thoj-o localities where good gravel
cannot bo had, this enables one to make
satisfactory walks from any coarso sand nt
a little cost. A orrcspondent in Fulton
county. New York, inquires if the use of tar
for walks has been patented. It it has been,
wo have not heard i f it ; w o know that it
has been iu use for walks, gutters, nnd simi
lar purposes for several years ; a pateut
wounl hardly be given.
