"UovERXoa Uartuafxt has par doned the three Schuylkill county com missioners recently convicted of mal feasance in office. This action was re commend by the Board of Pardons and tbe entire Schuylkill county delegation in the Legislature." The Confederate Prison Pen. rX-SE5AT0R BROWXLOW'S STATEMENT. Andersonville was expressly selected for its murderous malaria, and Winder and Wire were expressly put in charge of the prison pen there to aid in the fiendish work of extermoaticg the Yaukee army. With all the South to choose from, salubrious mountains, se cluded valleys, healthy plateaus and sheltering forests, this red clay hillside sixty miles south of Macon, Ga., was selected. It comprised twenty-seven acres of laad, with a fever and musqui to breeding swamp ia its center. A choked and sluggish stream flowing out of another swamp crept through it while within rifle shot distance from it flowed a large brook of pure water, which, bad it been inclosed in tbe prison pen would have saved the lives of many of the prisoners But that would have thwarted tbe murderous scheme of tbe conspirators. There were some piae trees in tbe pen which might have shel tered some of the poor prisoners, but Winder ordered tbein to be cut down. When toid that their shade would alle viate the suffering of tbe captives be replied: "That is just what I am not going to do ! I will make a pen here for the Yankees, where they will rot faster than they are sent." The pen wa? a quadrangle with two rows of stockades fro a twelve to eigh teen feet in length, and seveuteen fret . . , . . fioui the inner stockade was the "dead 1 line,' over which no man could pass and live. Within this place there were at; one time uure than thirty thousand hu-! wan beings confined, without shelter, parched with tha burning sun, flooded with rain, without pure water to drink, expos! to Srost and beat ; to the bul lets of trutal guards, used in wan too, sport ; beaten, bruised, cursed, driven t madness sod idiocy, starved into rkeletous, presenting tbe most horrid and ghastly objects ever seen oat of the torture chambers of tbe Spanish ii:qui eiiion. Even a photograph of one of these wretched creatures is enough to day to sicken tbe sight and stir the heart with a thirst for vengeance. Four teen thousand of those poor sufferers found relief in death. There are now there 12,920 of the victims' graves to bear witness to the truth of this horrid tale. And yet Jeff. Davis and Ben Hid attempt to palliate these hellish .-utrac to deny tnem in fact, and te pretend that tbe Union prisoners were as well led aj tbe Confederate soldiers, and as well treated ti tbe rebel pris oners at Caiop Chase and Elmira. As to the scarcity of tbe necessaries' of life, it is enough to say thai AnJer sots til I e is in a very fiuitful section of country, and wben General Sherman marched tbrongh Georgia to the sea, be found provisions in plenty. That tbe murderous system was pursued de liberately there is atnplj evideuce, and Jeff. Davis not only knew all about it, bnt was responsible for it. Robert Ould was Jeff Paris' Chief Commis sioner for the exebaage of prisoners. He wrote a letter from- City Point to Winder on tbe eiehangs of prisoners, in which he tells bow tbe cysttm worked: "Tbe arrangement 1 bare made," said be, "works largely in our favor. We get rid of a set of miserable wretches, ana receive some of the nest material 1 ever saw." As to Jeff. Davis' "inexcusable, pri vations" after be was captured and in Fortress Moore e, sud tbe tortures" which he says '-Dr. Craven bas too faintly described," we can not refrain from quoting tbe following paragraph II. C. lligginsoo's letter to tbe nila delpbia Ltdgtr. Mr Iliggicson was one of the Andersonville Prisoner Del egates to Mr. Lincoln. He says : "I was stationed at Fortress Monroe Jurine most of Mr. Da via' confinement there, and hardly a day passed tha. I j did not make comparison between bis ; condition nicely quartered in a case- 1 - :u 1.:. :r. r..:i .-J r.;... uiaic vim UI3 wnv, laiuuj uu iiiumo, pienty to eat and drink, Dr Craven, at tending physician, strolling at will aionnd tbe ramparts, and lbs recipient of fruits and flowers from outside friends to tbe uuserab'e spot where I lay in Andersonville, Georgia, unsheltered from wind and storm, in hunger, filth, nakedness, squalor and disease, and re fused even the box of clothing and food sent to me by my friends North, which I saw with my name and address on, and knew that they (the rebel officers and men at Andersonville) used for themselves." If, before this Congress met last De cember, there was the ghost of a chance for the Democracy to carry the next Presidential election, that chance was removed when the leades of the South ern Democracy arose in their places in Congress and defeuded or palliated the horrors of Andersonville and eulogized Jeff. Davis. "Those whom tbe Gods seek to destroy they first make mad." W. G. Browklow. Will They be Punished ? From tkt Atr l'erk H'Uuat.J A few days- ago the Bank of tbe State of New York went down. A copl of months sgo the bank declared and paid a dividend, although it is now understood that the transactions which ruined the concern date back six months. Are these men, who by their fraudulent presentation of the bauk's affairs to the public, not to be bought to a reckoning ! Have the parties who bought the stock of tbe bank above par because of this false January div idend no redress ! That is a question which concerns theaa. And it u also a question of the highest moment to this commercial community. - Whose interests are safe if cnuies like this go unpunished This practice of foul divi dends by corporations already bankrupt is a monstrous practice. Tbe other day a post-office thief was sent up for ten years. There are other ways of appropriating money besides taking it from the till and out of money letters.

A number cf prisoners confined ia tbe Kent county (Md ) jiil made their esespe on Tuesday a week, and although search has been made in every direc tion no traces of tbem have been dis covered.

On Friday evening two weeks since, Edward Ray, employed in s rolling mill at Sharpsbnrg, Pa., was caught ty the machinery and drawn through between two rolls, his entire body, passing through a space but eight of ten inches wide. The man was terribly crushed and lacerated, but strange as it may appear, he rallied after tbe physicians had done all for him in their power, and tbe next morning talked to those around his eoucb. No bopes are en tertained of his recovery. Tbe escape from instant death may be considered miraculous when it is considered that the nnfortunato man was drawn into the rolls by the tail of his coat, and passed through with his body doubled up aod bis hesd forced between his legs. A prudent Chicago mother of wealth and respectability, has brought up her accomplished and beautiful daughters to do washing and ironing.

A most remarkable discovery is re ported from tbe astronomical observa tory established by the Russian Gov ernment several years ago at Pamla seeks, tbe highest point, with one ex ception, on the Himalayan range. For several months a peculiar bright spot had been discovered shining from the extreme edge of the moon' disk, a point where no mountains break the continuity of its permieter. This bght suddenly disappeared and remained invisible for nearly twelve months. It baa lately re-appeared is greater bril liancy a than ever, and the immense power of the telescope attached to tbe above observatory, so well known in the seientifio world, bas developed the faot that tbe light proceeds from some huge, burnished sutVstance, scting as a mirror, which must te at least 100 feet in diameter. Tbe most astonishing thing in the matter is tbe almost com plete proof that tbis is setualy a mirror of artificial eoostiastiooj and the theory of ibe savans at Paifllaeeaka is that it is ereeted for observations of a scientific character, principally to observe tbe phases of tbe earth's surface. H is well known tbat tbe immense bight of that portion ef tbe moon which is tamed toward the earth, not enly tbrongh tbe fell known laws of gravitation keeps tbat portion of her surface presented towards ns, but renders it Uninhabita ble. It is supposed that tbe side turned from ns may have an - atmosphere suit able to animal life; and tbat intelligent beings, observing the halo of light shed around its Lorixon by reflection from tbe eartb, may hive taken this means to ascertain tbe cause. Some ingenious deviee to place a mirror at a hight where sniinal life could not be sustained was the result. It is to be hoped tbat this discovery may lead to ot&eis in re gard to our interesting satellite. 1 A History for the People. "Barnes' Ceutenuiai History, or 100 Years of American Independence," is the title of an interesting aod thorough ly reliable history of our country by (be popular Autbcr of Barnes' Brief His tory of U. 8. fof Schools." One superb volume of about 700 pages, beautifully illustrated. A. S. Barnes & Co., Pub lisher!!, New York City. Tbis is not a transient volume, writ ten to catch tbe hour, but a thoroughly prepared work, from the latest and most reliablo authorities. Every state ment can be depended upon aod quot ed as historically correct. Tbe style is lifelike and vivid, carrying tbe reader along by tbe sweep of the story as in a novel, so tbat when he begins an ac count of an important event he cannot very well lay down the book until he Guishes. There will be a calendar giv ing all tbe marked events of tbe entire Revolution. The chapter on manners and customs of Ante-Revolutionary times is full of interest. It U the only thing of tbe kind in print. The dark tide of the Revolution, ordinarily not told, is here clearly and fully delinea ted. Every battle especially is a dra matic picture, with the key-note, tbe pivot on which the decision turned, clearly brought out. ltdoes not mere ly tell about screaming shot, hissiog bullets, acd the groans of tbe wounded. There is no blood-aod-thuoder rhetoric but a philosophical description of a bat tle, by one who himself having been an officer in tbe army, and a careful atu dent of military tactics, is able to de tect and explaio to others tbe vital point of every contest' Any one can thus see just why and how each battle was lost or gained. Tbe development of the different political parties; their characteristic ideas and prominent men ; tbe vote each Presidential Candidate received ; the psrty nicknames and devices, and tbe Issue of each campaign are accu rately set forth. This compendium of political information will be found in- valuble for reference, and will add not only to the interest, but to tbe perma nent value of the book. Great prom inence is given in tbis History to the work and dxj life of the people. Ac counts are given of cf noted inventors, advent of popular authors, aod a his tory of literature and literary men, building of great railroads, important publie works, etc Many important facts in history not general known are iccorded in tbis volume. Tbe account of tbe remains in Arisona is tbe first and only reliable description of them inserted in any United States History. Full description of the Centeunial Buildings, Grounds, and most interest ing features of the coming Exhibition will be given, with numerous views and illustrations. Tbe history is not sec tional, bnt written in the impartial spirit of the tine Historian. Tbe Book is printed on heavy tinted paper, freely illustrated with trust worthy copies of portraits, views of places, illustrations of manners and customs, or incidents described in the text. This work must form a valuable ae quisitiod to every American Home, where, during the Centennial year, the deepest interest will be felt in tbe in structive lessons and facts of our "One Hundred Years of American Indepen dence."
