Dr. George Gross, who has Just boon re.
leased from imprisonment at Richmond,
furnishes the Philadelphia Press an account
Of his experiences Of prison lifo in the South.
He says. TJ3 aI iaa bee u

aud thirst, for one-half the time we only
got half loaf Of bakers bread, and slice
Of baked ham once day, and what little

severe cough all summer and fall, the effects
of which, with many other exposures, |

IA few days after tho last battle Of Bull
Run l was visited by four females, who said
they had great anxiety, and had walked
four miles to SEQ the man that had made
that awful prayer just before tho battle
when, after repeated assurances that knew
nothing Of it. and requesting them to tell
what they heard it was, they said prayed
that hi fire and birthstone might be show
cred down upon the whole Southern Con
federacy, and destroy all the secessionists
root and branch, and that speedily and
without benefit of clergy. ! observed that
it was an awful prayer truly, but as | was
not the man who made it was not respon-
sible for it; but an old lady said to me, You
are the man, but we did not expect you
would own it, when they departed. After
| this was known as the preacher. ~
"On the day of the last battle Of Bull
Run could distinctly hear the yells of the
dying, and about FIVE or six o'clock in the
afternoon messengers came 10 in great haste
and said the enemy were coming, and they
were retreating, DC, DC, when the greatest
excitement and confusion prevailed. But
soon the scene was changed. 1t may also
be relied upon as fact, that the southern
army were far superior in numbers, and lost
double the number Of the federals in the
battle after all the advantages they had
over them by their numbers, freshness of
their soldiers, Notifications, masked batter
les, &c, DC. yet strange as it may seem to
some, they were badly whipped, and retreat
ing, when they were reinforced
81 have often heard the secesh soldiers
say they came to fight the Yankees, and
they would not go home until they had
shot one, and that their gals rit' them not
to come until they brought them Yankee
scalp. They have three or four regiments
of negroes in the army Of the Potomac,
with many Indians in other places; asd
they say, if it becomes necessary, they will
put all their negroes in their front ranks.
"Thcy say it is a disgrace to civilization
that they should be obliged to put their
gentlemen soldiers in conflict with such a
worthless and degraded set of beings as the
northern army. They are very intemper-
ate, and being kept constantly replenished
with whiskey, are, as a general thing, moro
demons than men,"

It will be recoIlected that it was announc-
ed some time ago, that Gen. Fremont had
been called before tho joint Special Com
mittee on the Conduct Of the War, and had
submitted to that Committee a full state
ment Of his management Of the Depart
ment Of the West, up to the time he was
superseded by Gen. Hunter. II has also
been announced, that moro recently the
Hon. Frank Blair had been before the same
Committee, and had bcen examined touch
ing his charges against Gen. Fremont. No
portions of the statement or testimony have
been given to the public, for some how the
members Of this committee have not only
been remarkable for reticence, but have
been unusually successful in keeping the
Argus-eyed press in tho dark.
The results of the investigation are, how
ever, indicated by the action Of the Com
mittee, which is IN the highest degree hon

The Presidents Opinion.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The President
stated yesterday TO several of his friends
that the recent victory over the rebels at
Fort Henry was of the utmost Importance,
and il was intended to follow itup immed-
lately with blow upon the railway con-
nection fifteen miles from the captured Fort.
He further stated that hot work is expected
in that region at once. The question was
distinctly asked of Mr.. Lincoln, if the Gov
ernmeut was in possession of any advices
from England or France which threatened
interference with the existing war. He re-
piled that the Government had nothing
which was not in the foreign journals; that
there is no special danger Of interference
at the present time, though it was evident
that the interference party was at the last
accounts growing daily stronger in both
England and France; but that the victories
which the Government expects to win over
the rebels in the next two or three months
would put to flight all thoughts of meddline
in our affairs. The fact was distinctly an
nounced that the Government was fully de
termined to press onward at once upon the
enemy, and thus answer the just expecta-
tious of the people.
This conversation has the more inpor-
tance from the well-known fact that Mr..
Lincoln has lately taken the management
of the war into his own hands. This is
the true explanation of the statements in
tho newspapers that Gen. Mcclellan was
relieved of his general command Of the
armies Of the United States, and Mr.. Stan
ton was really in charge of the general
management. There has been no formal
change, but the President has quietly as
sumed his constitutional powers as Com
mander-in- Chiaf Of the armies Of the Uni.
ted States. Ofcourse, in doing this, he
commits the moro active duties of that
Office to his Secretary of War. One ofMr.
Stanton's recent orders was issued "by or
der of Abraham Lincoln, Commander-in-
Chief" etc, etc. Heretofore similar orders
have been issued "by order of Gen. Nc
Clellan." The change at once attracted
attention here. Mr.. Lincoln frankly avows
his determination to push the war to a
speedy conclusion, and admits that the peo-
pie are right in demanding that when they
are taxed so roundly, as it is proposed to
tax them, something shall be done toward
extinguishiDg the rebellion. A Western
Governor was recently With the President,
who asked him, "Will the people of the
West sustain the Government through the
onerous taxation which must be imposed
upon them?' The reply was emphatic
"They will endure anything if they are con.

Another objection to the boat, discovered
TODAY, was the construction at the bow
and storm. Unless towed very slowly, both
ND and down stream, it dipped tho water
considerably. These, however, arc all mi
nor objections, and easily got rid Of. The
boats will admirably serve the purpose for
which they were designed, and prove the
most terrible engines Of destruction the en-
emy have yet had to encounter,
Important from the sandwich Islands.
Hon. John A. Parker, U. s. Consul at
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, has arrived in
Washington, with highly important infor-
nation to be laid before the State Depart
ment. He has conclusive evidence that an
elaborate scheme has been conceived, aud
the effort is being made to carry it out, to
transfer the control Of these islands to the
British Government. Emissaries have been
actively employed in paving the way for
such consummation. The basis Of tho plan
is 20 furnish large sums in the shape Of
loans, for which not only the revenues but
the territorial possessions Of the State are
to be hypothecated.
To assist in this, the vanity Of the reign
ing monarch is flattcred by the glitteringa al
lurements ofdomestic pageantry and com
mercial aggrandizment. He is surrounded
with shrewd and artful courtiers, stimulated
with golden promises Of the same pomp and
power as the families Of rank possess 10 the
capitals of Europe. These means are be-
ing actively employed by the cunning di-
plomatists who control the foreign policy
Of the English Crown. Thus it is hoped
that these islands, the "Key of the Pacific,
and its shores of spice and gold, are to be
turned into another Malta, or Gibralter,
frem whence iron clad war ships shall die
tate terms to and control the commerce Of
the nations of the globe.
But while Lords Russell and Palmerstou
shall mine, Mr.. Seward can countermine.-
To-day we realize the advantage of real
statesman at the head Of our Department
of Foreign Affairs Our Secretary of State
has long been aware of the lust and greed
of England for controlling position in the
South Pacific, Her enormous commerce
with South America and Asia, and her COW
etous designs upon Mexico, long ago claim
ed the attention Of that sagacious states
man, and we predict that the willy diplo-
macy of England will be unmasked and
overthrowD, as it always has been when
touched by the spear of the Sage Of Auburn
