Governor Andrew on the Prisoners at Fort
Warren.

A recent article in the New York Eoen-
ing Post referring to the too tender treat
ment of the prisoners at Fort Warren, was
brought to the notice Of Governor Andrew.
and has elected the following private letter.
which is published by the Ecening Post:
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, !
Executive DEPARTMENT,
Boston, Dec. IL, 1861, }
EdtOord Russell, Esq, Ne,o York:
My DEAR SIR: thank you for your note
of the 7th, enclosing slip from the Even-
ing Post condemning the numerous mani
festationsl of misplaced sympathy by soma
citizens Of Boston with rebel prisoners cot1
frned at Fort Warren. fully sppreciae-
your feelings in this matter, and share with
the writer of the Post in his condemnation
of that sympathy with traitors which makes
men, in comparison with whom Benedict
Arnold was a saint, comfortable in their
confinement, while our own brave defenders
of liberty and Union and the rights of man
are cut off from all such sympathy by the
rigorous despotisln of the Southern oligar-
chy-but do not know of anything that I
can do to prevent it. l very we'll remember
Mason's iusolent, overbearing demeanor, in
that memorable interview between himself
and old John Brown, and can truly rejoice
with you that, if he does not, in all respects.
receive all the compensation for his baseness
through long public career in the few days
which yet remain to him in this life, his
power for future mischiefis forever abridged.
and that all the luxuries which Boston SYM
pathizers with treason and with traitors can
bestow cannot defeat the purposes and the
plans of infinite justice.
Very truly and faithfully yours.

General Scott and His Wife.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Herald writes as follows:
The General has taken rooms at the
Westminster Hotel, in the Rue de la Paix,
where, upon his arrival, he was met by Mrs.
Scott, who has not seen him before in five
or six years. General Scott and his wife.
finding that their tempers and modes Of
thought were not Of an amicable character.
"agreed to disagree" and concluded that
as they could not love each other together.
they would love each other apart. Most of
that time Mrs Scott has been residing in
Europe, and has always manifested intense
interest in her husbands movements and
welfare. At the Union breakfast given last
summer at the Hotel du Louvre, and at
which some of our newly -dedged Ministers
made such ''Mugginses" of themselves.
Mrs. Scott was present, and whenever an
allusion was made to the General she SEEM
ed to be deeply affected, and once shed tears.
Latterly she has manifested greater inter-
est than ever in her husbands career, and
for two or three weeks she was so nervous
and excited that it Was found necessary to
keep from her all the papers containing bad
news. Now. upon the Generals arrival in
Paris, she wishes 70 greet him, forgetting
all that is past. And it is not improbable
under all tie circumstances that the vener-
able pair may conclude to finish the remain
der Of life's downhill journey together

CONCLUSION.


The Fair is over to the joy Of tho officers,
and the relief of the public-spirited. 1t will
compare favorably with any of its prcdeces-
sors, and had the weather been good, would
have been far superior. The stock on exh:-
bition was far ahead of that last year. The
Floral Hall was credit to the Cedar Valley.
1t was neatly ornamentcd with evergreens
and flowers and we'll filled with the works of
fair ones, paintings, fruits, curiosities, ETC.
The Vegetable Hall was hardly as well filed
as last year, which fact is easily accounted
for. Among the Stock, Manufactures, Fruits,
Flowers, and, in fact, in all departments of
the exhibition, there was much that we would
like to make particular mention of had we
the time, but at this late hour it is impossible,
and for fear of being accused Of too much
Partially, we will leave the matter for an
other week,

The Fdir.-The Cedar Valley Fair for 1861

The Fair.-The Cedar Valley Fair for 1861
is passed, and by the energy of its officers,
and those of our citizens who gave their as
sistance, it has taken its place upon the re-
cord as successful. The disagreeableness of
the weather, to speak moderately,
for some days previous to the. hold
,ng the Fair, rendered it somewhat difficult
to perfect the preliminary arrangements, and
though the best possible under the circunl-
stances was done, Tuesday morning dawned
and the Fair Grounds were Ear from being
in condition. Under these circumstances it
was thought advisable by the Board of Dircc-
tors to continue the time Of holding the Fair
one day longer, which would carry ii through
Friday. The Entry Books were kept open
one day longer, as the weather had been such
that farmers could Eot get to town to make
their entries by the time the books had been
advertised to close. -
TUESDAY.
The work Of perfecting the condition Of the
Grounds as much as possible was the CHIEF
work Of Tuesday The day was pleasant and
the weather bid fair for Icing propitious

JosEsBoRo', Te.o Nov. s, 1861.
The election occurs here to- day q very small
poll progressing. There are two candidates
for the Confederate Congress in this dis
trict-James w. Deaderiek, Esq, of this
{Washington) county, and Joseph B. Heis-
kell, Esq, Of Hawkins county They were
originally Union men, and the latter is yet
classed in that category, but are willing 10
support the Southern Confederacy, as is evil
denced by their running for Congress.
Some apprehension is felt here that the
Federal troops will surmount the obstacles
which interpose between their progress to
East Tennessee from the direction of Ken
tucky; and, II 50, they will capture our line
of railroad, and thus interrupt the travel
and freight which passes in this direction to
and from Virginia. In the event Of the
entrance of Federal troops here, the sup
port of the "Union men" to the Southern
Confederacy would be very uncertain. They
are not voting scarcely a tenth OF their
strength in the present election, which
is apparently evidence to show that they yet
look for the prevalence Of Federal authority "
here, and are not willing to commit them
selves to the Confederates by countenancing
them so much as to vote in their election
Should Federal troops enter here we will
have most disastrous time. ~

Interesting from France,

We published yesterday morning a short
paragraph respecting the return of Prince
Napoleon TO France, stating that he had ad-
vised the speedy recognition of the Southern
Confederacy. We copy the following extract
from a Paris letter, dated Oct. ls which we
find in the New York Tsmes:
If we may judge Of the feeling against the
North among the commercial people of Eng
land, by that manifested by the English an
mercial people located at Paris, it must be
terrible indeed. NO SANDER is too absurd to
be told, none too gross to be believed. Whether
from commercial rivalry, from the rnenac-
Ing growth, or from what they call the i'm
pertnence OF the Yankee race. we seem
10 have no friends left in this particular
class OF the English people. Not that they
love the South or slavery, but they are
furious at the idea that the North should
even attempt to avert the Threatened rup-
ture OF the great Republic, and will be
still more furious if the North be successful
The doctrine of free trade which Eugland
Is forcing on all Europe, aEd which she has
failed TO force on the United States, has turn
ed away the sympathies of the commercial
classes from the race to which they allied by
blood, and directed them into new and
strange channels. The Morrill, tariff falling
upon English commerce at a moment when
France was opening her ports TO this same
commerce former - contrast too striking for
evenEnglish tenacity, and to-day we see the
unnatural and unusual spectacle of French
ucn aHu SHsusnlEeu joining III Il common
depreciation of America and her institutions.
Among the least apocryphal Of the stories
which are repeated here in English and
French commercial circles, is one to the effect
that The southern Confederacy has sold to
English speouators, at aiprice so low, for cash
lh advance, as to render the risk not too
great, the cotton the Confederacy now holds
In Its hands, and which is TO be handed over
10 the Engiish owners of it through the first
port which the national navy opens. The
Southern Confederacy thus hopes to obtain
money to carry on the war indefinitely; but
1T remains to be seen whether the National
Government will overlook such a fraudulent
opeI alton.
1t is reported that in the long report which
Prince Napoleon has m ade to the Emperor
and his Cabinet on American affairs, the
Prince, while showing throughout strong
sympathy for the North and the cause of the
Union, yet expresses the opinion that sub
lagafIon OF the south is impossible, and that,
sooner or later, the separation must bs recog-
missed as final.

COTTON BALES As BREAsTwoRKs.-Talk or

poses of the oft denied assertion that Gen
Jackson used cotton bales fer his batteries

We have, with many citizens, hoped that
the everlasting theme of bales OF co ton being
used in the defence or New Orleans, as the
breastWork OF defences, had been set ut r. st.

pIised two hundred and seven ty seven form

city to the battle ground and there discharged;
that one hundred and thirty bales of the cot
ton were used as a bdrricade a.Ound the mag
aZine, some distance inside the lines. and tar
beyond the range Of the enemy's guns; fhst
eigdty-two bales were used in the breastwork
but proved 10 he useless and worthless Us 3
means of defeuce, because the hot shot of the
were not used. How absurd and preuoster-
ous it is for writer's and editors to be alludiug
and harping on a few bales of cotton as form
ing the batteries in defence of New Orleans
The breastwOrk OF fertilization of Gen
Jackson extended from the bank of the river
into the swamp, the entire length being about
one mile and half. Will some of cur mod
ern writers, who appear to know so much
about matters and things that happened be-
fore they were born, inform us how many
bales of cotton it will require for a breast
work five feet high, ten or twenty feet at the
base and one mile and a half long, and then
study history and ascer tain how many bales
OF cotton were raised in the United States in
