Be told me if that wae all the mbt*ey I had he
would not take it as I might need it. I.thanked
him for his kindness and returned it to my
pocket. ” This ‘was an exception to the rule, as
in most instances he kept the last dollar, and
when one officer asked him for a dollar with
which to buy tobacco, he slapped him in the

“ Abe Lincoln returned his s%gers which he

pose he is as good as his word' fnd still retains
the money.
The search completed, we v«e shown to a
room in the third story, 50 eet wide by 100
feet long, and told that it wot Id be our place
of abode until our Father Abrfihrm should call
for us. Subsequent events however, proved
that they were mistaken. A few' days ■ after
they removed a lot of State prinoners-t-as they
called them—from an adjoining room and we
were allowed the privilege lof it, which made
ns more comfortable, so far as-room was con
cerned. Those State were citizens
who had refused to fight for ,fhe rebels, and
many of them had been sufficing in this con
dition since the commence?- int of the war,
arid told ns their only' hop'’of-release was in
the success of our arms. O. e old man, sixty

task, and I will not attempt lb- describe the
condition of many of these poor men. The
rations at the Libby were of p very inferior
quality, and I have tbe testimony of many euf'
geons who were with us, that Biey were insuffi
cient in quantity to s.ostaio llib for any gredf,
length of time. They consisted of a small
amount of bpad, bacon hf.bet'f, a little rice or
beans, made into .what they hilled- soup and
served .up to us in the same,pails which were
used for scrubbing and white-washing. ■ f have
frequently seen it literally‘coveted with rice
worms and black bugs. As -the number of
prisoners increased, they found it difficult to
do tbe cooking themselves Stud furnished ua a
etotjp for each hundred men, after which we did
our own cooking, and as fdr as possible, dis
pensed with the bugs and worms. It was how
ever, impossible to dispense With them entirely,
as the beans were so literally, filled with them,
so we discarded the name of beans and desig
nated them,by the very appropriate name of
" little- buggies.” The beef or bacon was at
last entirely dispensed’ \}itb,-and “tax in
kind”—as they.call it, substiuted in its place.
It will be-remembered that tbe tai levied
upon the people by the rebel government, is
but ajsmall percentage of it payable in money,
and the remainder in produce ‘Vh the case of a
planter, and goods in the case of a merchant.
This is called tax in kind. The planters gene
rally pay thrive in corn; turnips, cabbage or
potatoes. For a long time oar rations consist
ed of a small piece of corn thread, one small
turnip, a small bit of cabbage, or a potato®.—
nno n<wvf vumgs continued until tiosuvcsc
first of November, whep an arrangement was
entered into between'our government and the
rebels to allow the prisoners' oh either side to
receive such articles of food and clothing as
was necessary to their cofiifoft., subject only to
snob inspection by the pfopof officers, ao to pre
vent any contraband matter;jbeing transferred
to either party. For scope- this .arrange- 1
ment was strictly adhef,)d to, and tbe goods
promptly delivered, whic I afforded us a great
relief; but when the good people of the North
began to open their hea-ta and purees to the
wants of the prisoners, aad a large amour/t of
goods was bent by government, Sanitary Com
mission and relief associating of New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, ft "was too great a
temptation, and true to the principles inaugu
rated by Floyd and others during the adminis
tration of the "Patriarch deems,” they com
menced to plunder and steal the goods. It was
no uncommon thing to 869 the rebel officials
and guard at the prison wearing tbe dothihg
which should have been' issued to Federal pris
oners who were starving and-freezing on Belle
Island, and to see the rebel Newspapers boast
ing of sending the coffee Spd' other ratioos
(which they had solemnly khmiaed to deliver
to those men) to Lee.’s drmf; and making de
rision of the men for eating i dog. This seems
like a hard story, blot I hat} seen a man who
helped to kill, dress and ei t "the dog, and he
showed me aomp rings andA ther things which
be had made of thb bones, ~t
I have seen men brought into the Libby hos
pital with their limbs froz'fti, who had been
subjected to two amputatiohsof- the same limb,
one below, end the other above the knee, it hav
ing frozen after the first one-jvae performed.
Dr. Labal, the surgeon in i barge, told me he
had seen fifty cases of this klbd or similar ones,
We realized a great benefit -<fom the efforts of
the Rev. Dr. McCabe, Chaplain of an Ohio
regiment, as also'the Cfiaplatn of the sth N. Y.,
Dr. Bondrie, in procuring reading matter and
trying to promote the .better"interests of all.
This they did by sending out by a sergeant of
the prison, and buying books which’ had been
in the book stores before the war, and paying
for them in Confederate money, which some of
the officers had. A large number went into the
classics. :
lit was no uncommon thing to hear a medley
of “Jews and Proselyted.Ci-etes and Arabi
ans," or Phonography, -Gt tefc. German, Trench
and Spanish reciting at tf;o same time. The
climax of all our pastime b the Libbv was the
reading of a paper writtef “by one of the chap
lains before mentioned, caWsd-the Libby Chron
icle. This paper was twice a week. At
the boor of reading, a ofi? ! was sent through
the different rooms* to an bmoe “ the reading
of the Libby Chronicle in vtpper east room.”
Another things were'forthe time suspended,
and all rushed eagerly up to hear the latest ex
change news,'spicy editorials, ttye latest des
patches from Braxton Bragg, and the more re
cent proclamations for fast days by Jefferson
Davis.
Nothing of importance occurred to relieve the
monotony of prison life until the 7th of Febru
ary, 1864, when it appeared from the roll call
that One_ hundred and ten Sid taken leave of
their prison abode. How t-iey had succeeded’
in getting out was a g«> m y gte ry, bnt that
they had started for Abt ham’s bosom there
warno doubt. "We had lung a rope out of
the window to make it api ear that the guard
had beta bribed, and the; had gone down the
rope, and some of the officers efen intimated “
that Major Turner, the commandant of the
prison, had pocketed a largo amount of green
backs for letting them out. In the meantime
the guard, officers and all, were arrested and
placd in Castle Thunder, and General Winder,
the commissary of prisoners, told Turner that
ha could have six hours to give a satisfactory
explanation of the affair or he would arrest
him. This was rather an unpleasant prospect 1
for the young man, and he instituted a thorough
search from basement to attip.

WEDNESDAY,
THE EEOOBD
Two diverse superstitions have, in turn, pos
sessed the popular mind touching the progress
ive series of inventions and discoveries which
ultimated in the crowning triumph of Letters.
Rome held, and taught men so through inquis
itorial pains, that the art of printing origina
ted in the infernal regions, being sired by the
devil. On the other,hand, men of enlightened
conscience and elevated ambition, regarded the
art'as having descended from Heaven for the
betterment of Man. In addition to tbese, an
other class, peculiar to modern times, regard
the art as a puritanic invention to abridge per
sonal liberty; just as tbe community of Jorime
regard.telegraphs, railroads, and detective, po
lice as innovations, tending to abridge the free-,
dom of tbe individual. 1
Probably the men who have conducted Cop
perhead papers .during tbe four years just end
ed, will never forgive Faust and Guttenberg
for fashioning the instrument for their impale
ment. Having done the devil’s work daring
tbe war, they are estopped from consigning tbe
means by whioh"their record is preserved, to
the devil; as he canuot be presumed- toi be eo
wretchedly ungrateful for service rendered as
to devise means for tbe utter damnation: of his
progeny. They are now awaking to a sense of
their turpitude. While the storm of war rag
ed they outraged decency and counseled sedi
tion with impunity. Now , that the strife is al
most bushed the people are inquiring into the
records of their neighbors. “ Where did he
stand in the Midnight of Trial?” is thp ques
tion now ; a question which will bring the hot
flash of shame to tbe cheeks of the grandchil
dren of many a Northern man. i
1 But tbe record is made up, and public opin
ion will permit little thereto. Wa
presented portions 6f tbe records of jseveral
notorious Copperheads last week; we resume
tbe unpleasant task—taking' up the subject
where we abandoned it. To the atrocious ut
terances of this Centre county editor we add
the following, which appeared in his. paper
soon after tbe President's last call for men:
- —it it was necessary to
sacrifice the lives of 200,000 more Frenchmen
to successfully establish tbe Revolution, the ty
rant Marat had the poniard of that heroic girl,
Charlotte Corday, sheathed in his heart. The
monster at Washington admits his intention of
destroying five hundred thousand more -of our
citizens in carrying on his horrible purposes.
Have we an American Charlotte Corday f”
The italics are ours. The sentiment is not
.merely partisan, but most atrocious, being the
offspring of a mistaken estimate of history,
joined to great depravity of soul. There is
but one cure for such monstrous growths—
Starvation. The people have the remedy for
such diseases in their own bands ; and if they
do not apply it they are responsible. :
Look at that utterance, apart from its .atroc
ity. How insincere, how perversive jof fact.
He compares Lincoln tp Marat, either in pro
found ignorance of history, or like a knave.
In either ease he libels his patrons. : It was
this fellow, if we recollect aright, who icounsel
ed resistance to the draft; and being! himself,
drafted.made haste to pay his commutation.
He was ready to urge the people to.go where
he dared not follow. Still, his action was bet
ter than his conpsel. I
By the side of this atrocious utterance we
put that oi a Copperhead editor at Beaver Dam,
in this State. He wrote :
- “ History shows several instances where the
people have only been saved by the assassina- 1
tion of their leaders, and history may repeat it- j
self in this vouniry. The time may eoine when :
it will be absolutely necessary that the people*)
do away with such rulers the quickest way \
possible." |
It is not necessary to allege that the author
of the foregoing directly instigated the murder
which now shocks the civilized world. It is
significant as showing that the assassination of
the President was so much agreed upon by
the desperate leaders of that party that it bad
entered into their familiar thought and speech.
The time of its utterance, too, gives it addi
tional significance. It was published during
the Presidential campaign; at a time when, by
the uninfluenced will of the people, and asl pre
scribed by the Constitution, the question of
the succession lad been submitted to the ar,
bitfament of the ballot-box. It was an adver
tisement of an intention to appeal from that
decision to. the pistol or dagger. This shows
conclusively that a deep and ineradicable die
trust of the judgment and patriotism of the
masses has taken possession of the minds of
Copperhead leaden. It is for the people
to the remedy.
Ihe Erie City Dispatch, one of the ablest
of our exchanges, in an article on Negro Suff
rage says; “We have no word to utter, and
" no thought to entertain against the colored
“men. They are a lawabiding people. They
" have fought as brave men can and dated as
“ courageous men will. They are rewarded as
■' their white fellow, soldiers are, by a nation's
“ gratitude and the security of their families
”f ar Tfoirr t a g ita to e.
We propbso to reply to the query of oor co
temporary, premising that he is opposed to ne
gro suffrage. Where shall the line be drawn 1
Let os see: Malay boys of 16 ore folly com
petent to rote nnderstandingly-—more under
staodingly than thousands of middle aged
men. But lawmakers found no difficulty in
drawing the line. The line was drawn thro’
the 31st birthday.
The majority of men are, mentally, as capa
ble of making a contract at the age of 20, as
a year later. But it was necessary to draw a
line between the infant and the man in law.
So it was drawn.
The reason of the role is? that the majority
of civilized men mature sufficiently at the end
of their ft/urth lustrum, if ever, to shoulder
the responsibilities of life.
Now the stability of a government by the
people depends upon the intelligence of the
people. i
Draw the line there. Make competency the
criterion, primarily. Neither birth nor color
has aught to do with the matter, as inch. '
We submit a question: Is nnt a loyal and
intelligent'negro a safer man to trust with the
privilege than any white man who has conniv
ed at the destruction of the government?

i The 7-30 Notes cannot be taxed by Towns, Cities,

six hundred dollars a year. This fact increases their
value from one to three pet cent, per annum, accord
