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

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."

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

wake an example if we would preserve

railway and the bank thieves. Let ns
open tbe courts for such cases. Bank

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

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

passed through with his body doubled
up aod bis hesd forced between his legs.

Observations of tbe "Man la
tbe Moen."
From ikt NorU Ckiae BtraU.
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.

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." Sold only by Subscription. Local
