DEATH OF CAPTAIN cANrIELp AT DETROIT.
49, from the Detroit Advertiser, April 1871
We were greatly panied 10 hear it announced this
morning mat captain Augustus Garfield, of the Topo
grapnca Engineers u 5. A., of most esteemed
and respected citizens no more He breathed hi,
last at an early hour yesterday morning, at his resi-
dence in this city, having been suddenly down by
skill rr'a '0's'''0n' S''h set at defiance all medical
We speak Of him q citizen, for although CAPTAIN
Garfield was in the army and ornament TO the SER
vice, which il was his pride to pursue and adorn he
had been so long stationed at this point and
neced with so many Of the cherished associations Of
our city by family ties (having married daughter of
our distinguished townsman, Gen Cass,) and by inter
course in social life, that had to look upon him
as one Of our citizens.
Captain Garfield was native of New Jersey, whore he
numbered amongst his near relatives the Hon Mahlon
Uckerson and Hon. Philemon Dickerson. He gradua-
ted at West Point with distinction, and first com
mssioned in the gallant AID regiment of artillery but
was soon after to the corps of Tpograp hca
Engineers in which he served till the time of his deaih
Captain Garfield was ardenty devoted to the science Of
his profession, TO which his clear and discriminating
mind was peculiarly adapted His excellent dispasson
ate and reliable judgment in combination with his highly
scientific attachments, enabled him to accomplish the
most important practical results. The Wagochance light
house. built upon sunken reef in the Strait of Macki
nae, the Eddysone Light OF the lakes and which has
successfully resisted the combined assaults of the tenn
pests and the ice, is at triumph and enduring
monument of his professional skill BY the appointment
Of the Governor and Senate of this State and with the
appreciation Of the proper department at Washington he
held the important place of Engineer OF the Sault St.
Marie Canal which great national work commenced
and has been thus far prosecuted under his professional
SUI ervson. Tho people Of this State will long remem
Der with gratitude his public services in connection with
this important work and deeply regret that his valuable
lie had not been spared to witness its successful
Iletion.
Capt Garfield WAS gentleman Of high honor, rigid
probty and strict integrity His many social and domes
tic virtues not only endeaed him TO those who
to be grour in the family circle around his hearth
stone but also bound to him by the strong attachments
Of friendship large circle of warm friends who loved
him while living and will weep bitter tears his IN
timely grave.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE Or
FrcRRs fS THR OHIo PENITEErIARY.-
The Columbus correspondent of oul
Icotemperary, the Gazette, writes as fol-
lows to that paper-makine statements
which, e they prove 10 be iacts. in rela-
ton to the mansgetuent of The PenIten
liary, should bring upon be hssds o.
Those Concerned the most condlgn pun
iishment. We hope the matter Will be
thoroughly investigated -r--....a-,=,
DEVELOPMENTS of most exciting and
extraordinary character are being made,
as to the situation OF affairs at the Peni-
tertiary. A special committee has been
at work for two days past, ferreting out
some of the most startling and inhuman
transactions. Early. in the week, the
fact became known that a young female
convict, who had been for two years in
the prison, had just been delivered of a
child. The time of her Imprisonment
had been rather too long not to excite
suspicion that something was wrong.
When committee was appointed to IN
vestigate this subject, they were notified
by an officer of the prison, that keson
Watson, the Deputy Warden, had been
for weeks pursuing the most fendish
cruelty toward poor black convict
For twenty-three days he had been kept
in solitary confnement-for fifteen OF
them he had been kept in dungeon,
and only taken out to be whipped with
cat in the severest manner. His
clothes had been taken from him, and
no bed allowed him. During the cold
weather he has suffered intensely. and
his back is said to show the marks of
the lash in every part. What, it will
be asked, is the pretence for all this
cruelty? 1t is simply this: Watson
states that some $500 of money has
been stolen, and he says he thinks this
negro stole it, or knows who did steal it.
He has no proof-only a suspicion
And upon this, he has proceeded to re-
enact scene of torture that would
have done credit to the Spanish Inquisi-
ton in its palmiest days. Such is a
brief sketch of the case as made by Dr.
Ross, the member from Washington, on
the floor of the House. To-day, a
special committee has been employed
looking into this matter, and l learn
they say the half has not been told
The Warden has not been ignorant of
this conduct. but has lacked nerve to dis
charge the man who was so foully dis
grazing the State Ilearn the commit
tee will report soon, and then will give
you further details. Nothing so start
ling and so infamous has been brought
to light for years. 1t is very properly
creating much feeling.

H Spectator, the Washington cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
1nder date Of the ssth alt. says in Ne
gard to Douglas Nebraska bill: n
Notwithstanding the Nebraska Bill
has been put to sleep for awhile by Mr..
Cuttings motion to refer Il to the Com
mittee Of the Whole, it is the theme Of
daily discussion in the House, To the
surprise of everybody the Bill is being
stoutly opposed by Southern members.
All hope of securing its passage has
rested upon the assumption that it would
be supported unanimously by the South.
But, already, Millson, of Va, Hunt, of
La. and Franklin, of Nd, have spoken
against it. If Southern men, win not
stand up to their own rights they can't
complain of the North. Northern men
can't be expected to force justice upon
them when they unite with Abolitionists
to prevent il.

ASr1-NEBRAsKA.-The late Whig
State Convention, in Pennsylvania,
unanimously passed the following reso-
luton: --sT
RESOLVED, That the provision in the
Kansas and Nebraska bill, now before
Congress, which affects and repeals the
Missouri Compromise, is deliberate
breach of plighted faith and public COM
pact; high-handed attempt to force
slavery into vast territory now free
from law; reckless renewing of qui-
eted agitation, and therefore meets the
stern, indignant and unanimous disap-
proval of the Wing party of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania.

DIED-At Cheshire Township, GaIlia
County, on Sunday morning. the ed
inst, Capt. PHNEAs MATHEWS, in the
85th year of his age. aat
His remains were deposited in the
grave yard on the farm of the late John
Bing, Esq, in Addison township, where
they were followed by numerous friends
and relations, and inferred with Masonic
rites. D..
The deceased was a native of the
State of Massachusetts,, where he resided
until his twenty third year, during which
time he served as a soldier in the State
Line called to quell "Shsy's Insurree-
ion" He emigrated to the Northwest
Territory in 1893 and landed at Marietta
with Wayne's troops, and for several
years resided there and at Belpre, part
of which time he was fortified, with
other inhabitants, to protect themselves
from the Indians. About the year 1909
he came to what is now Gallia County,
and located on the bank of the Ohio
river, at the eight mile Island, where he
married and raised large and respecta-
bic family of children.
The deceased was among the pioneers
and first settlers of the county, when all
was rude and acild, and lived to see ''the
wilderness bud and blossom as the
rose" Although the deceased lived to
a "green old age" before the fell mon
ster Death summoned him to his court,
it should not fiatter any that their term
of probation will be thus long extended;
but should serve to admonish that the
liking of Terrors" is sweeping the earth
with a beasom of destruction; for
Joseph died and all his brethren, and
all the men of that generation"

MOVEMENT FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF
IRELASp.-The New York Express men
lions rumor, but places veryzfttle re-
lance on it, that the Irish enles IN that
city have had secret conference lately,
at which they resolved to organize a
central directory with subordinate So
cieties cooperating in other portions Of
the Union, for the purpose Of turning
the approaching European war to ac-
count for Irish Independence. Meas
ures were adopted, which, if carried out,
are likely to give Great Britain employ
ment for her soldiers, nearer home than
Turkey. Ireland is to be the scene of
operations. Further. the "sinews" of
war are to come from the funds that
were subscribed for ireland in 1848,
some $4,000 in all. Also, that a dis
tinguished editor-an Irish exile-is at
the head of the moyement-and that an
other distinguished exile-now in Cali

range matters with view to further the
purpose in view.
