the captives were hungry, day and night
and snfi'ered the gnawing pains or to m-
one, with its dreams and delusions. It
will be enough that they became weak
and emaciated to the degree in when
they were found when exchanged. It
will be enough that they were porsored
by foul air and over-crowding ; and that
they were exposed in the depth of motor
to the cold, without shelter and without
covering. It will be enough that thous-
ands of them became hideously diseased,
and that most of them miserably perish—

’On the other hand the rebel prisoners
in federal custody have been cleaned,
clothed, well fed, and exchanged in capi-
tal condition. When the flag-of-truce
boat landed within the rebel lines, the
’two systems confronted each other. On'
one side hundreds of feeble, emaciated
men, ragged, filthy, hungry, diseased,
and dying ;‘on the other an equal num-
ber of strong and hearty men, clad in the
army clothing of the government against
which they had fought, having been hu-
manly sheltered, fed cleaned of dirt, cur-
ed of wounds and disease, and now hon—
orably returned to fight that_goverument
again.
The commissioners have been compelled
to accept the. conclusion that these out-
rages on humanity were the result, ifot
cfaccident, want of supplies, or local
abuse of power, but of deliberate design
"on the part of the confederate govern—
' ' erament. ' That abuse is, in all its forms,
too general, too uniform, and too simul—
taneous to be otherwise than the result
of a great arrangement. One prison
station is like, another—one hospital re—
sembles another hospital. ' This has
been madeespecially apparent by intel-
ligence that has reached the public just
as this investigation is closing, and this
report is being written. It is the same
story everywhere ;——-prisoners of war
treated worse ., than convicts, shut up
either in suffocating buildings, or in out-—
door enclosures, without even the shelter
that is provided for the beasts of the
field ; unsupplied with sufficient food ,-
Ibpplied with'food and water injurious
and even. poisonous; compelled to live
in such personal uncleaniiuess as to gen-
erate vermin ; compelled to sleep on
floors ofteniszovered with human filth, or
on ground? saturated with it ; com—
pelled to, breathe an, air oppressed with
an intolerable stench; hemmed in by a
fataldeadfline, and in hourly danger of
“ being shot'by unrestrained and brutal
guardsg‘fde‘s’pondent even to madness id-
iocy andr'suicide. ; sick of disease (so
.csngruonsiu character as to appear and
spread like the plague) caused by the
torrid sun,‘ by decaying food, by filth, by
vermin, by malaria, and by cold ; re-
, moved at the last moment, and by hun-
dreds at a time, to hospitals corrupt as a
‘ sepnlchre, therewith few remedies, lit-
.tle care and: no sympathy, to die in
wretchedness’ .and despair, not only
among strangers, but among enemies too
resentful to have pity or to show mercy.
The conclusion is unavoidable, therefore
that “ these privatious and sufferings”
have been “designediy inflicted by-the
military and other authority of the rebel
government,” and cannot have been “due
'to-causes which such authorities could
not control.”
And in the face of all this, the confed-
erate congress, with the approval of the
confederate president, issued, on the 14th
of J one last a manifesto, of which the
following is the concluding declaration :—
“We commit our cause to the enlight—
ened judgment of the world, to the sober
reflections of our adversaries themselves
and to the solemn and righteous arbitra—
menf of Heaven." .

Gen. Grant in New York.
. On Saturday week, much to the sur-
prise of the New Yorkers, it was rumored
that Gen. Grant‘was in the city, stopping
at the Astor' case. In the evening, a
serenade was given to Gov. Fentou, at
which the General appeared and received
the enthusiastic plaudits of the assem—
blage. On Sunday he visited Col. W.
*S. Hillyer, one of his old staff, returning
in a close carriage to the Astor C House.
The driver, after depositing his precious
freight, gave his friends the following
toast : ‘ '
“ Here’s to meself‘, Dennis Connolly, the
biggfist man in Amerik but one, I’ve driven
the _teutenant Genera of the United States,
and its more than Bobby Lee ever did.’

‘elThe Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
says: “A girl is not allowed to . be a
girl after she is ten years old. ’If you
treat her as though she were one, she
will ask you what you mean. If she
starts to run across the street, she is
, brought back to the nursery to listen to
a lecture on the propriety of womanhood.
Now it seems to me that a girl ought to
be nothing but a girl until she is seven—
teen. Of course those are proprieties
belonging to her sex, which it is fitting
for her to observe, but it seems to me
that aside from these she ought to have
the utmost iati-tnde.‘They ought to be
encouraged to do much out of doors, to
run and exercise in-all those ways which
are calculated to develop the muscular
frame. What is true of boys, in the ms. t-
ter of bodily health, is eminently so of
girls. It is vastly more important that
woman should be. Man votes and

.is the teacher and the mother of the
world ;and anything that deteriorates
woman is a comprehensive plague on
human life, itself. Health among women

the New York sharpers who live by ras-

the story that some member of the family

sends for a change of linen and clothes
to replace those spoiled by the accident.

last week, being the first part of the 10,000
whose exchange has just been arranged for
by the exchange commissioners. These were
received from the rebels at Savannah. The

Prof. Richards in Norwalk.
It affords us unqualified pleasure to an-
nounce that Norwalk is to bevfavored by a
full course of the eminently popular Scientif-
ic Lectures of Prof. Richard’s. His Course of
Six Lectures on The Atmosphere, which has
been received with enthusiastic applause in
New York and other cities, is ‘to be delivered
here. at Lockwood’s Hall, during this and
the next week. Prof. Richards will bring
with him all his magnificent apparatus, per.
haps the finest on this continent, and there
can be no doubt, we think that Norwalk will
be in a blaze of Scientific fervor as the bril-
liant series of Lectures progresses. It is not
often that we have Scientific Lectures, and
it has never before happened that we have
had the chance to attend, as a people, a
Course which has been stamped with the
highest approval of savans and the people
alike. Let us give Prof. Richards a glowing
welcome and Science a large ovation while
we thank the gentlemen who have interested
themselves to secure this opportunity for us.
The Lectures will begin on Wednesday
night, and we hope the first audience will be
creditable to the town. After the first night
we will leave it to the lecturer and the sub-
ject he handles. to constrain the people to
come in, in no doubt of the result. Tickets
can be procured at A. Seileck’s and H. M.

DEATH on Pnos. SILLIMAN.——Dr. Benja-
min Silliman, senior, the distinguished disci-
ple of science, died at his house in New
Haven, Thursday morning, at the age of
eighty-four. No name has been more inti-
mately connected with the cause of science
in America, and the country owes him a
debt it is willing to remember. Prol. Silli-
man was born in North Stratford, Aug. 8th,
1779, graduated at Yale 1796, was admitted
to the bar in New Haven 1802. Just then
the science of Chemistry, almost unknown
in America, was beginning to attract atten-
tion in Europe. Dr. Dwight. President of
Yale, introduced’ its study as a regular de-
partment in the College, and persuaded Prof.
Silliman to accept its professorship. Since
that date he has been identified with the
College, and added greatly to its reputation.
He traveled much abroad and lectured ex-
tensively in this country. He dies full of
honors as of" years.

Rebel Incendiarism.
Au infamous attempt was made by rebel
emissaries on Friday night last to burn New
York City—fires being kindled in most of
the principal Hotels, at Barnums Museum
and among the shipping. Luckily the agents
were stupid and commenced their nefarious
work early in the evening, so that the plot
was discovered and frustrated without hav-
ing. caused much damage. Their course
principally was, to secure rooms at the Ho-
tels, saturate the Bedding,&c., with Turpen-
tide and Phosphorus and then touch .the ,
match. Several parties have been arrest-
ed, and the Police and Military authorities
are on thealert for all concerned. Among
those arrested is one said to be Treasu-
rer of the organization. Thus it will be seen
that the notice given of a plot to burn
Northern cities, was not, as the copperheads
pretended, simply an electioneering dodge.

Target Practice. .
The Norwalk Guards, Capt. Wm. R.‘
Smith, met at their armory, on Friday morn-
ing last, and from thence, preceded by their .
Drum Corps marched to the Amphitheatre,
and spent the morning in Target practice.
The weather was fine, and the practice pass-
ed ofi' very pleasantly. The target was
unusually well riddled, and honestly, and
the boys may well feel proud of it. Thirty-
six members took part in the exercise, each
hing allowed three shots, and the target Was
struck 55 times. More shots would proba-
bly have entered the Target if the bullets
furnished by the State had been of the right
size—they were all to small. Eight persons
(including three boys of the Drum Corps),
hit the target each time, and eleven two
times. The distance fired was 100 yards.
A fine list of Prizes was contributed by
our citizens, which were awarded by the

For (he Gazelle.
Loyalty," ya. Luical
. Partyism. -
In retiring from “ the field” which he on.
tercd, unchallenged, as the champion of par-
tyism (I cannot make it patriotism)—C. S.
shoots backward his Parthian arrows.
The affectatiou of sympathy on the part of
the aggresssor toward those whom he assaila
is unseemly. They know well how to ap-
precihte it.
His apology for “_ again intruding upon
your columns” is lame and? late. The intru-
sion was “ uncalled for.” His charge upon
“ Clerical
another of having “originated the trespass”
sounds much like the suspicious cry “ stop
thief” to aid an escape. . When _ a trespass is,
committed,—a breach of the peace,-—-it is by
an assailant, not the defendant.
In summing up the case. before submit-
ting it to final judgment, letus’ recapitulate
the facts. A Church and Society commit-
tee of five gentlemen, all very respect-
able and of the same political party- with C.
S., invite a distinguished divine to supply
their pulpit for a brief season. The “vener‘
able gentleman” is immediately assailed, be-
hind his back, iu‘various conclaves, by char-
ges of disloyalty.» One who had long known
him, and who had enjoyed his hospitality,
providentially'fiuds a; Card, which the accu-
sed had published elsewhere to meet similar
Charges, rte-publishes it,‘with a few kind
words of introduction. Was this “ origina-
ting a trespass ?".
ThatCard was simple, frank, sober, relig-
ious. It was not offensive. Some leading
persons in the community, who confess they
were prejudiced, on reading it declared them-
selves to be satisfied,.aud that it ought to
satisfy any reasonable man.
' Immediately C. S. rushes to the attack.—
_ He, pronounces the publication “uncalled for,
unjust, and unworthy.” But passing by the
"card with the slur of a sneer, he follows the
preacher intothe Sanctuary, and assails him
at the altar of prayer. He cannot charge one
disloyal or doubtful utterance. He cannot
deny that his preaching is eminently scrip-
tural, instructive and eloquent.:—that. his
prayers are ' biblical, spiritual and compre'
hensivc. There is only the imputed, nega-
tive defect—the omission of a single topic :—
and even this charge he half retracts in his
first article,,by the admission of an “ excep-
tion,” and in his second article by the ac-
kncwledgment of an improvement. Met at
these points he rallies to a second charge : and
as generals do who are sorely beat, brings
forward his reserve. And what a reserve !—
His first column. was made up of regulars
from the political party: his second of con-
scripts from the ranks of sectarianism. To
obtain them,lif he has not “ robbed the cra-
dle” he has “ robbed the grave,” even to
bring up the corpse of a theological contro-
versy that was buried long ago, that he might
invoke to his aid the spirit of denomination-
al intollerance. and revenge: and in doing
this he misrepresents History, when he, as
serts that Dr. Plumer was the advocate if
not the author, of a Resolution by which the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian church
exscinded (in 1837) four Synods “for no oth-
er fault than unwillingness to bow to the behests
of Slavery.” ' . ;
I was engaged in that controversy, and vo-
ted and recorded my protest against the Ex-
scinding Act both in the Synod of Virginia
and its Presbytery of West Hanover. I
know on what ground the case was argued.
I will simply ask if there was “no other fault
than an unwfllz'ngness to bow to the behests of
Blazery," is it to be believed that the Act
would have divided the Presbyterian church
in the South as well as in the North; that it
Would have arrayed against it many of the
largest slaveholders, pastors and elders, in
all the Southern States?
Thus ends the argument.
er’s sake than of those in the community
whom it fails to satisfy. One who has freely
given a son to fight and suffer in this war
against a wicked Rebellion may be supposed
to desire prayers for our soldiers and sailors,
as much as others. Let this be the answer
to inuendoes about “ unstruug nerves,” and
“ doubtful loyalty” and “rigid conservatism,”
if indeed, they be worthy of even this notice.
Let nanot strike at every man: as an enemy
because he cannot pronounce our Shibboleth.

powerful, impregnahle automaton. She
has strength, speed, and powers of stub-

is to adVancc to the immediate vicinity
of a hostile vessel, which she can do with
impunity, take a torpedo in her grasp,
stretch out her long arm, feel the way

reached, then quietly leave the infernal

desirable, and then, by means of a magic
touch,.cxplode the submerged torpedo.
the ingenuity of its attendant machi-
nery—is, al'u-r all, the great curiosity of
this most singular invention, and its dis-
tinguished feature. It does not depend
for its explosion upon shoak of contact,
but may be huuciicd and managed with
safety up to the lliile of arriving at its
destination beneath the object. to be de-
stroyed. at which period it assumes the
prayer position without assistance,‘ and
then only becomes dangerous. indeed,
explosion is impossible up to this lime. .
In these respects—as Well as in its for-

ternal c instruction which gives direction
and force to the blow ; its ability to re-
tain its position at any ll" )tll of water

vuncc for igniting the powder Within;
and its capacity for variations and modi-

‘ A distinguished official who was late-
iy ht the headquarters of General Sher-
man, gives us the following anecdote of
the latter, in the necessity under which
he lay of sitting in judgment on a certain
class ofincn in Atlanta, w’mv “‘ “ ‘
was evacuated by the citi. ‘ -

‘ Let me give you a .

man’s headquarters, Atlanta
‘ You will remember that an order was
promulgated directing all civilians to
leave Atlanta (North or South) within
‘twelve days.’ The day of its issue a
gentleman entered Sherman’s office and
inquired for the General. The latter an-
.swered in this way, very promptly, ‘I am
General Sherman.’
‘ Citizen—‘Generai, I am a northern
man, from the state of Connecticut :
have been living at Atlanta for nearly
seven years ; have accumulated consider-
able property here, and as I see that you
have ordered all citizens to leave within
twelve days, I came to see if you would
make an exception in my case. I fear,
if I leave, mypropcrty will be destroyed,
‘ Gen. Sherman—‘Whnt kind of prop-
erty do you own, sir? Perhaps I will
make an exception in your case, sir.’ ..
‘ Citizen—“I own a block of stores,
three dwellings, a plantation two miles
out of town, and a fonndry.’
‘ Gen. Shcrman—‘Foundry, oh! what
have you been doing with your foundry?’
‘ Citizen—‘Have been making castings.’
‘ Gen. Sherman—“What kind of cast-
ings ?—Shot and shell, and all that kind
of thing?’
‘ Citizen—‘Yes,
shot and shell.’
‘ Gen. Sherman—‘You have been ma-
king shot and shell to destroy your coun-
try, have you? and you still claim favor
on account of being a northern man i
Yes, sir, I will make an exception in
your case ; you shall go South tomorrow
morning at sunrise Adjutant, see that
this order is carried out. Orderly, show
this man the door.’
‘ Citizen—‘But, General, can’t I go
North ?’ .
' Gen. Sherman—‘No, slr. Too many
of your class there already, sir.’

once more recognize the great military
leader as eminently"the right man in the
right place’ in dealing with the more

hitherto depended for comfort. for affec-

guided—~tlle sister to whom she has dared
to impart the very embryo thought and
feeling—the brother who has played with
her, by turns the counselor and the coun

she has hitherto been the mother and

fell stroke—every former tie is loosened—
the spring of every action is changed,
and she flies with joy in the nntrodden
paths before her ; buoyed up by the con-

and grateful adieu to the life that is
past, and turns with excited hopes and
joyous anticipation to the happiness to
come. Then woe to the man who can
blight such fair hopes—~who can trench.

ROBERT J. WALKER'S OPINION.—“ Occa-
sional,” the Washington correspondent of
the Phila delphia Press, gives these as the
expressed views of that veteran in public
affairs, Robert J. Walker.
It is his firm conviction that Mr. Lincoln,s
re-election has broken, not the heart only,
but the back of the rebellion, Had it gone
against us, had General McClellan been
chosen, he has nota shadow of doubt that
Louis Napoleon would have recognized the
so-culled Confederacy, on the ground that
the people of the North had declared that
the revolted South could not be conquered,
and that peace on the basis of separation
was necessary and just. And England
would have followed, as usual.

It is the duty ofthc Boards of Enrollment
to have copies ofthc lists open to public ex-

and to make frequent returns to the War
Department. The quota assigned to each
sub district will be based upon the returns
made next previous to the assignment and in
proportion to the number of men enrolled.
An assignment may be made simultaneous~

It is for the interest of the residents of
each sub-district to have stricken from the
list all names improperly enrolled, because
an excess of names increases the quota called
for from each sub-district. It is for the in-
terest of enrolled men to have placed upon
thelist the names of all persons liable to
military duty, because the number to be
drawn from the less the chance that any
particular person will be drafted.
The Boards are authorized to erase the
names who have served two years during
the present war and been honorably discharg-
age, or permanent physical disability. They
are required to add to the enrollment already
made the names of those who have arrived
at the age of twenty years, of those who
have taken up their residence in the sub-dia-
trict, of all who have been in the military or
naval service less than two years during the
present war, and all foreigners who have
recently been made electors, or declared
their intention to become citizens. This
duty of correcting the enrollment is urged in
order to secure, in the event of another call

or not, is a criminal under the U. S. Law, and will
be prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on
several parties refilling our bottles, dip- who “11
succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from In.
dies, clergyman, merchants. &c. is incredible. The
simple trial of a bottle is the cvidenpe we present of
their worth and snperio'rity. They are sold by ’lll
capcctahlc (llriiggists, gr'occrs, physigiups, botcls,
saloons, slcumhoats and country stores.
