Fort Lafayette.

TIE STORY OF RELEASED PRISONER.
A communication in the Quebec CJironi-
Gle, from person who has been released
from Fort Lafayette, but who does not give
his name, gives this account of life in the
fort:
On my reaching the fort was required
to surrender all the money and blank paper
l had on my person, at the same time being
informed that by applying to the command
ing officer would receive writing materials,
and all my letters would be examined by
him, and if found to contain nothing objec-
tionable, they would be forwarded to their
destination; that my money would be subject
to my checks, but must account satisfactor-
lily for its disposition before l should receive
any. So strict were they at first respecting
paper that l was required to account for
every sheet; subsequently,, however, the
prisoners were permitted to supply them
selves with writing materials according to
their wants. The rules of the fort are rigid
as to the character of the correspondence of
prisoners. l was we'll satisfied if l received
an answer to my letter in three or four days
from New York, only seven miles in dis
tance. My quarters were in casemate
some twenty-six feet long by fourteen feet
in width, hight of roof eight feet; in this
from eight to eleven persons were locked up
at sundowp. At first there was but little
comfort in the shape ofa bed but afterward
iron bedsteads were furnished and arranged
in hospital order. The prisoners were ex-
pected to wait on themselves, and to have the
casemate in order by guard-mounting in the
morning; as TO myself, was fortunately sit
uated compared to the members of the Mary
land Legislature, &C., who were in one room
in which thirty-eight were packed, together
with the guns; in another room were from
twenty. five to thirty, from all grades of So
ciety-from the newspaper-selling boy to
the Ex-Minster TO France.
Those who had funds arranged q mess
provided with two meals day, by the SER
geants wife, for which they paid one dol
lar; others, however, and by far the largest
number of my fellow-suferers, entirely de-
pended on soldiers rations, viz: For break
fast, fat pork, four ounces of bread, and a
cup of something called coffee; dinner four
ounces of bread, q cup Of pork or beef soup,
three ounces of over-boiled and indigestble
beef and a quantity of water. The above
bill of fare is invariable. All little things
were at first forbidden admission to add to
the comfort of our less fortunate prisoners,
but there was an individual in the neigh
borhood whose name will never be forgotten
by any prisoner in the garrison, whose char
liable hand was ready to give aid,
and did send such meals daily at her own
expense thrt gave great relief to the poor
prisoners who had to subsist on such food
as they were not accustomed to.
At first newspapers were positively for
hidden, but at later date such papers as
were published in New York were allowed
This privilege was great comfort and
why it was so long delayed l really can not
divine, in this age of newspaper reading

uync,n,h Blooming under Water.

Here is pretty experiment for our lady
friends who are fond of flowers. We copy
from little work called The PHlor Gar
dner, published by ]. E. Tilton s. Co.;
Having made your choice among the
shades of blue, red and yellow, you must
give your greatest care to charming ex-
pertinent which will be the source Of very
agreeable amusement for you all the winter.
You can procure, at very small expense,
two vases of plain, clear, uncolored glass ;
both of the same form, except that one has
no bottom, and is little smaller than the
other. They are to be used as follows: Put
into the one that is opened at both ends of
the finest of your hyacinth roots; suppose
you take one of fine red-a sultan Soliman
for instance; place this bulb in position
inverse to its natural position, that is, with
the top up, and the top, from which the leaves
and flowers are TO come, downward, even
with the orifce at the bottom of the vase.
Then you must crumble a mixture of good
garden earth and leaf mold over the bulb
until the vase is three-quarters full. A
second bulb with flower in strong con-
trast to the first, say blue if the flower of
the first is red, and Uice UerSa, must be next
placed in the vase, so that the top shall be
even with the upper orifce. You have
nothing more to do than to place the vase
thus prepared upon the first vase full of
water.
Two similar couples look very well placed
upon the two ends of the mantel-piece of n
rom in which people habitually sit, and
where, consequently, fire is constantly made
while the cold season lasts. The earth in
the upper vase should be moderately
watered as soon as the bulbs are placed in
it, and then kept constantly moist, avoiding
excess, by renewed watering whenever you
perceive that the earth is getting dry.
At the end of two days, the crowns of the
/ two bulbs will send out straight, white
roots those of the reversed bulb turn down
in curves, but do not fulfill their functions
worse for that. Very soon the two bulbs
placed in a contrary position to each other
| put forth leaves-the one into the air the
! other in the water; then you will see ap.
pear in the midst of the transparent liquid
the buds on the floral stalk, and finally the
| flowers, as beautiful, as well formed, of a:

O green as the corresponding parts possess
of the other flower planted in the ordinary
manner and vegetating and developing il
the air, its natural element. 1t is true tha
time is necessary for all this to be accom-
! plished bulbs planted in October will
flower fully in February or March; but il

SAD DEVELOPMENT IN TIE CAREER OF
You've CLERK Yesterday another demonstra.
tion in the career Of pursuing false pleasure
was madein the Tombs Police Court, in the
case Of a young man engaged rs entry clerk in
one Of our first houses, whose prospects were
represented as very promising. George r.
Cowee, it appears, was engaged as entry clerk
in the house of Robbins, Royce Hard, of No.
20 Resde. street, for several years. Daring
that time, it is alleged that large quantities of
goods have been missed, including flowers, silks,
velvets, satins, &c. For long time the stock
account tunaccountsbly failed to balance. At
last the losses becsme so heavy as to prompt
the firm to call TO their assistance the detective
police. Accordingly, officer Keefe was detailed
to attend to the case, and after thorough ex-
animation of the fraud, it was resolved to arrest
Cowee on suspicion. Accordingly, he was ar
rested on Monday, and only few hours had
passed when he confessed to q series of robher
les, revealing the secret Of how the missing
goods had been disposed of, Altogether, il
was estimated thathe had taken about $1,000
worth Of property, all of which had been
pawned, and the money procured in that way
expended lavishly upon women, and in gam
bling houses. Three years filled up the sum Of
this young mans experience, which time he
appears to have invested in the utter ruin Of
his business prospects. He is said to have re
spectacle connections, which, however, have
rot been sufficient to prompt him to straight
forward course. Justice Brennan committed
him for examination.-Nelo York Tribune.

Arrival of the North America.

The North America arrived from Liverpool

The Captain of the HdJUey Birch has gone to
London to consult the American Minister. Her
officers declare she was on soundings when cap

Captain Pegram wants the Nashoille made

The Times, alludiDg to the case, points to the
recent visit of the steamer james Adger, and
says it would be to the interest of England to
keep both out of the harbors, and if that can't
be done, they must both be lot in alike.
The Star, although wishing Captain Pegram
punished, says if he can produce commission
from the Confederate States, we must let him
go, as we have recognized them as belligerents,
Il is reported that the Galway steamer Ad

There are indications that Army Suffers
are to be done away with. The attention of
Congress will be called to the complaints
which have been made by so many of the
soldiers against the suffers. Fortunes have
been speedily made by some suffers, and
high premiums have been paid for sutler-
ships in some of the regiments. The Colonel
of each regiment has the appointing of one
sutler, who is taxed ten cents a month for
each soldier in the regiment. 1t is thought
to be low estimate that each soldier pays
the sutler an average of FIVE dollars per
month. Allowing one thousand men to the
regiment, the suffers receipts during the
month would be five thousand dollars. His
profits are over 100 per cent, but, to make it
an even figure, we will say that he nets a
cent per cent. profit, which would allow him
to pocket $4,000, out of which he pays ten
the hospitals. His teams, board, &c, will
not exceed $40O, and he has then $4,000 left
as his net earnings in thirty days. This is a
fair average of the suffers business, though
many of them make nearer $4,000, while a
few boast of pocketing $4,000. Now, what
does the soldier receive in return for his
money? The principal items sold by suffers
are pies, tobacco, cigars and pipes. Cigars
that are bought for So per thousand, or two
for a cent, are retaied at BOA cents each
Letter paper is sold at fifteen cents for q
half quire, which cost five cents. Whisky
is smugged out and sold at 81 30 bottle.
Beyond these articles, the suffers stock is
made up mostly Of gingerbread, confection-
cry, figs, raisins, &C., with limited assort-
ment of gloves, mittens, socks and under
shirts. Three fourths of the articles supplied
by suffers are not only unnecessary, but in
furious to the health of the soldiers. Whisky
and stale pies are followed by disordered
bowels and fevers; and it is reasonable
estimate to say that fifty per cent. OF the
hospital cases result from the foolish expen.
diture of money at the suffers cribs or carts
The sutler has no competition, and tht
soldiers must pay his prices or do withou
the articles. The payment of ten cents pc
head for each soldier in the regiment, give
the sutler the exclusive privilege of supply
ing the regiment. With the exception O
newspapers, no other article is allowed to b.
sold on the ground by any one but tn,
sutler. The whole system is wrong, and WI
doubt not four-ffths of the soldiers woulC
rejoice to have the sutler driven out of tn

NUMBER 86
Troops were sent to Platte County last night
10 look after Sy Gordon's band Of rebels.


sEDALIA, NO., Friday, December6.
Our latest advices from the South are, that
Price has moved part Of his force from 0scs-
ola TO a point FIVE miles distant, where he has
established his Headquarters. General RAine's
command remained at 0sceoIa.
A train Of so wagons, from Lexington, laden
with supplies for Prices army, passed unmo.
Tested within fifteen miles of this place on Mon
day last.
There are four rebel recruiting Offices in
Lexington enlisting recruits for Prices army.
A meeting was held there last Friday, At
which several prominent secessionists spok',
urging united effort in behalf of the rebels.
Similar meetings have been held in Clay, Ray
and other river Counties and subscriptions fjr
money, clothing, &c, are in circulation.
1t is not perhaps generally known, but it is
believed to be a fact, that the county court Of
Saline County, Clalb Jackson's residence, in
July last, authorized commissioners to raise
100000, to be expended for the benefit of
Prices army. Other counties along the Mis-
souri, River are believed to have done the same
thing.
It is stated on good authority that when
Price was besiegiDg Lexington, delegation Of
citizens was sent TO him from Saline County,
with an urgent request that he would net ALLOW
his army to enter that county, which was com.
piled with. The reason of this request was
inhabitents Of that county Of the plundering
propensity of Prices rebels.
The counties along the Missouri west of JEFF
ferson City are the richest in the State, and
have furoished nearly as many men. and as
much means in behalf Of the rebellion as the
balance Of the State, while they have been al.
most entirely exempt from marauders, aud
have rarely been visited by Federal troops.
FRASKFORT, Friday, December 6.
In the Legislature, E. F. Burns (Disunion)
of Owen, offered a series of resolutions, in-
cludiDg demand on the Federal Government
for the return to Kentucky of Ex Governor
Morehead and other political prisoners, and sf-
hTming that the Presidents message foreshsd-
ows the impossihility of preserving or recon-
structiDg the Federal Union. Referred to
Committee on Federal Relations.
The Union members to. night are holdings
caucus, to agree upon resolutions regarding
thepresent state of affairs, which will probably
be offered tomorrow.

LETTERs TO THE SOUTH MUST BE BRIEF.-A
correspondent of the New York Herald, from
Fortress Monroe, November 2S, says:
In previous letter I spoke about tho prac-
tice of sending letters SOuh, the correspond
ence generally extending to three or four pages
of manuscript. AAt first the request of Major
General Wool seemed to have some effect and
letters were limited to one page. But latterly
numerous epistles have arrived at headquar
ters, the correspondence in most cases bsipg of
unusual length and of a desultory character.
The gentlemen who have charge of reading the
Southern letters have as much as they eau pos
sibly attend to, without being able to do any
thing else. There is at present a whole bushel
full of Southern letters lying ready for the next
flag of truce.
The General again requests me to announce
to the public and those interested in correspond
eDce with Southern people, that they must
limit their letters to one page, and all letters
con aiming no improper reading matter will be
forwarded at once by a flag of truce. Letters
to Richmond must be prepaid with FIVE cents,
and those going outside of Virginia demand
ten cents postage.
Those who have friends in the South will
therefore make note of it, that their letters
must be left unsealed, and must be plainly
written on one side or page Of the paper. The
shorter the better.
