The Fiendish Tortures. ANOTHER C'll APTKR. Andersonville Horrors Continued. The «l>oad I,ine" I»esrrifo«?d DEATH COURTED TO ENDMISERY. llow tlio I>ead Wire Unried. Mr. Ambrose Spencer, whose first let ter we published a few days »go, has con tributed another painfully interesting nar rative in relation to the inhuman monsters who tortured our soldiers in the prison pen at Andersonville. We reproduce the material portion of his statement: 1 have referred to the quantity aud qual ity of the food given to the prisoners, and have since been asked if the country was really so destitute of provisions as to re-, quire it. At the post-quartermaster's, at A mericus, nine miles from Andersonville, there was turned over to the United .States Government; nearly two hundred thousand pounds of and an im mense amount of corn and other produce; a larger quantity was stored at Albany, forty miles lower down, and very consid erable stores at » )glethorpe, eighteen miles above Andersonville. These amounts were continually increasing from tithes and purchases, so that it will be seen that there was no lack of provisions in the country wherewith to furnish the prison ers food. I have heard inueb of what is termed the -dead lino;" few, however, know what is meant by it. After the comple tion of the prison aud its use, those con fined there were accustomed 4o approach the stockade and look through the open ings between tbe posts, or talk to outsi ders. After tbe assumption of command by Major Wirz, be caused the prisoners to be notified that if they approached within thirty feet of the stockade, they j would be shot by the guards upon the out- j side. This limit of thirty feet was iin marked by any line whatever ; it was ideal, I and left to the arbitrary determination of ] men on guard, a majority of whom were | as incapable of judging of distances of SO feet, as were tbe poor prisoners who were doomed if they transgressed it. The con sequence was that weekly, yea daily, the prisoners were shot down by tlie guards, when these thought they had transcended the imaginary line which separated thirty seven thousand human beings from eter nity. Upon one occasion, a prisoner who had been confined there for more than a year, rendered desperate by hunger, want and filth, preferring death to a life so unutter ably miserable, alter writing a last fond letter to his wife in Indiana, and bidding his friends around him farewell, deliber ately advanced towards the side of the stockade and calmly received the well di rected shot of the sentinel that released his soul froui the tortures which he could not endure, and which his manhood sunk under. . The southeast corner of the interior of the stockade was the favorite spot fur this kind of practice by the executors of Ma jor Wertz's will; lor at this point the brook or stream to which 1 have already referred entered tho limits of the prison. Here the water was less tainted and be fouled by the drainage of the hill, and afforded a somewhat more palatable drink; of course this point was sought iu prefer ence to any other. Butwoetothe untbr tuuate wretch who ever reached with his arm beyond tbe prescribed bounds,to dip up a cup of better water than the reek ing current below him offered ! A senti nel's bullet sent oue more spirt trembling to its God, while the wretch's body lay prone and washed in the very water that iiis less unfortunate comrades must drink, until necessity forced its removal. How many were slain in this manner will never be known until the records of a book un seanncd by mortal eyes be made up in fig ures of living light. At a short distance from the stockade was the field where the remains of the dead prisoners were supposed to be bur ied. As if the tortures and degradations of their wretched life were insufficient, the culminating stroke was given by their mode of interment. In long ditches; scarcely too feet in depth, without coffin or cover, without even the ordinary de cent composing of their limbs, but care lessly hustled into tbe bed which was to be their last, thirteen thousand eight hun dred shrunken, ghastly bodies have been tossed; and there they lie, an " army of martyrs," whoso cry will go up to heav en's gates in unceasing peals, asking ven geance for tbe " deep damnation of their taking off." I know not what the benevolent raiss sion of Captaiu Moore may have accom plished in this dreary cemetry, but 1 do know that three months ago at least one tenth of the whole number there lying were exposed ; the dirt which had been carelessly thrown upon them having set tled or washed away, while legs aud arms protruded here aud there, sad signal posts of down trampled humauity, natural mon uments of fiendish cruelty. Aud over this Aceldama of the Ncrth's best and bravest could be seen the shadows of the thousand buzzards' wings as they slowly sailed above the festering heaps, or, gloat ed with their horrid feast, gloomily sat and gazed upon others who followed to Mis disgusting banquet of death. E. Bevins, who, it will be re memb™. killed his aged parents near Adrian, JrlNi., to gat their property, and his own youug wife about to become a mother, that he might marry another iu Grafton, Ohio, has been sentenced to the Peuitentiary of that State for bciug the severest punishment known to the law of that Slate. Before sentence was passed lie made an affectionate speceh about his mother, &c. One can hardly imagine the existence of such a fiend.— perpetual imprisonment is a greater pun ishment than death. It is a life of tyr t ires without a gleam of hope. —lt is estimated that two hundred thousand cases of discharged soldiers have been recorded since January ficit of the present year, and sin thousand thiet hundred and eighty-five during the past mouth. t Ithc gUncriraw (tittern. ffay- The Largest Circulation oj any Paper in the County, "©ft THOMAS ROBINSON. - - Editor.

We did not suppose that there was that many men iu their party so "public spirited" as to agree to be victimized by a copperhead nomination. And we are the more sur | prised to see soldiers accept such compa i ny, and lend their reputation, as patriots, to galvanize disloyalty and latent treason! The more so when there is not the shad ow of a chance for the election of a sin gle one of them. What wry faces the Murrin's anil the Car's, the Downey's and the Denucy's, the Dougherties and the Gallaher's will make when they come to vote for one of " Lincoln's minions," as they were !ti the habit of calling then. Of the avowed sentiments of the con vention we can say nothing, not having seen them. We understand, however, that one of the old '• standbies," who still votes for "Jineral Jackson," offered a resolution affirming the stability of sla very, and was soon called to order for his imprudence. This is a hopeful sign. It is an evidence that even some of the De mocracy have realized that the world moves. We have not learned tbe exact number of districts represented, Out from the best information we could learn, the conven tion was not half full. If it was intend ed liy this movement to demonstrate the fact, that the party "still lives," it was the greatest failure we ever witnessed. The few members that did atteud this conven tion (1) haden'teven spirit enough to get tipsy ! A low day, indeed with the De mocracy ! jjfcgr* Since our last issue, we have re ceived a letter from Hon. Thomas (Vil liauis, informing us that be has written to the Secretary of war ia behalf of the 14th l'a. Cav., and also a copy of the dispatch of that gentleman, informing him that the subject had been referred, by him, to the Adjutant General, for ex amination and leport. This is "so far, so good." Mr. Williams alsoasutes ua, that he clothed his appeal to the Secretary in such form as he supposed would obtain for the matter a fair consideration. For this prompt response to the wishes of their friends, on tbe part of Mr. Williams, the 14th have a right to be grateful, as they doubtless will.

We are intimately acquainted with this gcntle mnn.

COMMIKICATIOJf. For tho Citizen. MR. EDITOR :—As day sun eels night and night day, so joys and sorrows sue cced each other in fast rutatimi 1 irne with lightning speed u-i - nti exist ence, rain and sunshine j 'b c noim itant train of evils brings J'.ith its fruits; and if we examine and enumerate the fruits of any great evil, our minds s n back apalled at the enormity cf the de struction that follows the train. Take for example the horrid evils of the intoxica ting bowl, and let any candid luiud watch the monster but a few short months, an I however skeptical he may lie in regard to calling it the agent of the Devil; 1 pie tunic that after a care'ul consideration of the subject his opinion will he changed. A few days ago, business called me to my old native village, and the news that await ed me there would have been astonishing to any one having less acquaintance with the principals of tho tragedy. A mother and five children were taken by force to the place where the largest portion ol the drunkard's families will eventually go —to the poor house; and tho sole cause of all this is whiskey. 15oth the parents were otherwise healthy, tho only difficulty was that they had formed a debasing appetite for strong drink, which had proved their ruin ; the only mystery to me is, why the husband was not takeualong ; the wretch stood unmovei, while the wife of his youth was bound and taken off with her offspring, and seemed to desire nothing but the poisonous liquid fire. Here, ye advocates,for the "go"d creature" is some thing for you to look at; you can here see, where men can be carried by this de mon of destruction; and yet, pcradven" ture, men of moral character, that wit tiesscd this transaction, will sign their names to a small document ncxtspriug in this same village, doclaringthat the land lord is a good sober citizon, an d they think selling liquor is u.-elul in the com munity. Well, if making paupers, an.l filling the jails, poor houses, grave-yards and perdition is necessary aud useful, then, selling liquor is an honorable and uselui occupation ? Could we but read to-day the fiearts of m llions of our race that have been bit" ten by this serpent and sec there the dqcp agonies aud groans of anguish, sorrows and lamentations depicted upon their sad lieaits, and then be permitted to look down into the dark caver.is of the lost spirits, and as the smoke if the torment ed rolled up forever, and the cries would reach our cars from the «ia ik j >of cter nal night; as the question v, i be ask cd them, what brought you hcie? the roll of muttered voices w..nid I.ring the sorrowful answer, intemperance led on from step to step, till we landed here I his is no overdrawn picture, out some thing that challenges our candid atten tion, and determine what we are called mi to do to drive this great evil froui our ua tion. If we sec our brother about to iu li headlong over a steep precipice, if we put not forth every effort in our power t" save him, we may be justly called his mur derer. llerc our brothers, s* ns aud friend are plunging by scores into ruin aud woe The demand and imperative duy resting upon every philanthropist should impel him to be on his guard aud use all hit be u t resources for (iod and suffering hu manity. Here is the largest field of use fulness iu which to operate. People need not think that llumse'.lers and whiskey imbibers will fly at the first approach of Temperance lteform; they have taken a strong stood and will make a stubborn resistance:—But it is the decree of high HeaveD, that this monster that biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an udder, be driveu headlong from the face of our 1 lair earth. No doubt the reproach of die taxological part of the world will fall thick and fast upon the heads of those suppressing the traffic; but when the storm blows over and the inebriate is restored to his family; aud plenty takes the place of want, aud the sanctuary is filled with pleasant and sincere worship pers, arid midnight revellings and street fightigs are heard no more, it will be au ample compensation to that person tc know he gave his aid and niiueoce to SL worthy a cause.

Armed rebellion, as it existed three months ago, is practically at an end. Nowhere in all the expanse and mag nitude of our country is there any vi olent resistence to the United States by my <*on)bination of men with arms in their hands. But, 110 common ob server of events can fail to see that there is an unarmed, rebellion of pro portions sufficiently cosiderable to attract the attention not only of nil loyal citizens, but of the Government itself. It is true that it may not at all times be warrantable to treat these coalitions of enemies as we should an armed band of disloyalists ; never theless die safety of Republican in stitutions—the peace and prosperity of the people, and permanent tran quility of every portion of the Nation —may force the necessity upon the Government to deal with' a steady and unterrified hand with these dis turbers of law and order.

The very act, as procl tinietl, is an offence against the Governni lit, and sh ws the des perate character oft ese New-York secessionist*. assisted as they are at every sti p they take,bv avowed rebels from the extreme South, who should not for nn hour be allowed their un constrained freedom. At the conclwe that assembled through tin.' medium of printed circu lars, at which it was boldly announc ed that its object was to raise funds to defend Jeff Davis when he should bo brought to trial, the speeches showed very precisely the tenor and temper of those assembled. A rebel from Atlanta—a rebel dv din the wool made a speech to this band of North ern traitors which was as defiant and ins lting to the Government as the most abandoned scoundrel within the lines of the late rebellion could have desired, lie proclaimed that slavery was not dead, but only sleeping—that the rebellion, though for the present defeated, would bide its time and suddenly make its "appearance in an other and he trusted a more success ful way ; and that every Congress man who might be el ctetl from A a bama in the future, would favor south ern independence. This was the kind of treason that t' e private conclave of New-Yorkers, with the southern sprinkling, uttered, but not boldly uttered in that city only a few "lays ago. We say not boldly uttered b cause no one ex cept those nursing the same infa mous sentiments were allowed to be present. The Government may or may not (probably not) have had a spy among this piecious party. Prob ably, however, it is well informed of all that transpired, and will act as it tnay seem justifiab e by what they may do 111 the future as well as in the past.

From the Richmond Republic, Aug. 5. ( l.'lric Itnlilgrcn. The month of March, 18G4, is memo rable in Richmond for one of the grand est Union raids that up to that time had menaced the Confederate capital—a raid 1 which was the imuiediatu precursor of Gen. Grant's famous campaign from the Wilderness to James lliver. 'l hc histo ry of this raid is too familiar to the mind? of all of our readers to make necessary any recapitulation of it, even if it com ported with our space It is known that Col. Dahlzren, after the attack on Rich mond on Tuesday, the Ist of March, did not suecc- in forming a junction ffith Gen. Kilpatrick, and while pushing thro' King and Queen bounty, toward Glou cester Point, was killed on the night of Wednesday, March 2d, near Walkerton. It is also known that his body was brought to Richmond, but what disposition was made of it by tho Confederate authorities was kept a mystery at !he tiuie, and the facts, even to this day have never been published. Wo purpose to give them to the public for the first time, vouching for their entire authenticity. When intelligence was received in lliclimond of thedeathof Col Dahlgrcn, messengers were dispatched to bring it to the city for identification. It reached the city on Monday, March 7, by the York River Railroad, and laid during that day at tho depot, where it was examined by large numbers of persons. 11 is death bad been caused by a gunshot wound in the i head. The little linger of one hand had I been cut off on the field where he fell by : some one anxious to secure, with the least I trouble, a valuable diamond ring. '1 hat | night the body was carried to Gcueral 1.1- | zey's office, in llelvin's block, and the j next day, having been placed in a com I | mon pine coffln, of the kin I then used | for tho burial of soldiers, which in turn I was placed in a box, and was arausferred j t > Oakwood Cemclry, u mile east of the j city. The hearse used on this occasion was a four mule street wagon, and the attendants consisted of a Confederate officer of inferior runk and two soldiers. Arriving at Oakwood, which was the burial place of all soldiers who died at Chimborazo, Howard's Grove, and other hospitals in the eastern portion of the citv and suburbs, the negro grave diggers and other attendants about the ccmctry I were driven off and ordered to absent | themselves until notified that they might, return. Olio of the negroes, now living in the city,having his curosity excited, secreted himself in the woods near by, determined to see what was to he. done.— The two soldiers dug a grave, placed the box in it, and covered it up. Tliey then shouted to recall the attendants of the cemetery, and getting into the wagon, re turned to the city. Tho only circum stance in the proceedings that struck the negro as unusual, was tho mystery obser ved aud tho circumstance of the box, no corpse over having been brought there before except in a pine cifiin; but there having been a great deal of talk as to i\ hat was to bo done with the body of Col. Dahlgrcn, he at once decided tjiat this could be no other than the corpse of that officer, lie, however, kept his opinion to himself at that time. The question,what had been doue with the body of Dahlgreu ? was the subject of inquiry and conversation for many days in Richmond, to be revived from time to time up to the day of the evacuation.— And there were many stories on the sub ject —that it had been burnt, sunk iu the river, &c. A city paper of that day an nounced, with a solemn and knowing air, that it would uever be found until the trump of doom should sound. A number of Union men of the city, believing it possible that it might be recovered, were anxious to secure and preserve it for the family of the deceased. Prominent among them was Mr. F. .K. Lohtuan. a grocer doing business near the New Market.— Mr. Lohinau at once began his inquiries and investigations—which, in the then state of popular feelings, it was necessary to conduct with great caution —determin- ed, at whatever cost and risk, to ascertain its fate. After nearly a month's patient and untiring inquiry, he, with the assis tunee of Mr. Martin Meredith Lipscotub, wh sc business it was to attend th inter - i meut cf all the Union prisoners who died | at this post, made the acquaintance of the ! negro grave digger whom we have men j tioned as being the sola spectator of the ! burial of Col. Dablgrcn. They found j him at Oakwood. pursuing his regular business. When first approached on the j subject, the negro was very much nlarin- J cd, and protested that he would have 1 nothing to do with the matter. Rut alter j repeated assurance by Mr. Lipscomb, whom be knew well, that ho might rely upon Lohtuan and that no harm should befall him, he consented, on Mr. Loh man's giving him a 8100 note, to point out the grave. This ho did by walking bear and casting a ctouc upon it, while Lohman and Lipscojnp stood at a diituace. lie was afraid to employ any other meth od lest ho might excite the suspicion of the superintendent of tbccenietory or some of the attendants. The grave lay among thousands of those of Confederate sol diers. Subsequently, after a great deal of persuasion and the promise of a liber | al reward, the negro agreed to meet Mr | Lohman at the cemetery on the night of i the 6th of April, at 10 o'clock, and ej ! home the body. | The appoiuted night having arrived, Mr. Lohman, his brother, John A. Loli j man, and Mr. Lipscomb, started for the cemetery in a cart drawn by a uiule. The night was dark aud stormy, and well sui i ted to conceal their movements. The j party left the city at 0 o'clock, and reach | cd their "destination about 10, and there 1 found waiting for them the gravedigger and two assistants. The negroes being assured that all was right, began their j work of exhumation., the three white men remaining with the cart outside the ii>- closures of the cemetery. The heavens were hung with their deepest black ; 110 object ten feet distant could be distin guished, and no sound broke upon the loneliness of the place save the howling of the winds and the choppiug of the resurrectiouist's spade. Once the mule, snuffing the tainted air of the city of tho dead, atrenipted to break away, but was quickly quieted by a (inn hand. In twenty minutes from the time tho negroes tegun their work they approach ed the cart, beating between them tho coffin, which being badly made, fell to pieces as tli> y rested it on the ground.— It was then discovered that the body had not decomposed in any perceptible de gree. Mr. Johman satisfied himself of tue identity of the corpse by passing his hand over it. The little finger, torn off to secure the jewel it bore and leg lost in buttle were missing. He paid the negro with whom he had contracted 81, 500, aud placing the body in the cart, the party started ou their return. The mule, alarmed as animals frequently aro with drawing a dead body 112 r tho first time, became difficult of management, and with tho darkness of the night, made the first part of the expedition one ot 110 lit tle peril. More than one hour spent in reaching tho gas lights of the city on Church Hill. It was part of the plan to convey the body to the house of William S.

Several of those persons had seen Col.

E. I'otts, chief clerk in his office, under date of July 20, that they had arrived at Andersonville, and were encamped with in one hundred yards of this prison pen. The Captain describes it as "a pen in the fullest sense of the word —a human pen, where 150,000 of our soldiers were hud dled together in an inclosure not 200 yards long and scarcely 100 wide, where they were exposed to the rays of an almost tropical sun for months, resulting in the death of thousands." The Captain also says:"This pen should not be destroy ed, but it should stand until its stockade falls to the ground from decay, so that the unbelieving of the North may be able to look on this ground and convince themselves of the inhuman cruelties per petrated by the South on our prisoners."
