Serenade TO Gen. Prcntiss.
His Sufferings and Treatment at the Soutl
Rebel Opinion of the Proclamation.
WASuINGrnN Oct II

WASHINGTON, Oct. II.
Gen. Prentiss tonight was complimented
with serenade. He graphically described
the scenes through which he and his fellow
soldiers, taken prisoners at Shiloh, passed in
the land of Dixie. He said he had cause to
use harsh language when speaking of the de-
mons OF the South, whose conduct towards
our troops was characterized by murder and
barbarity. Col. Jordan, Assistant Adutant
General to Beauregard, was the only rebel
from whom he received the least particle of
courtesy. So help him Heaven those who per-
secuted his comrades should never escape re-
taliation III full at his hands. The negroes are
the best Union men in the South. This is what
you are lighting for, said a voice in the crowd
Yes, replied Prentiss, for the freedom of every
man on earth. Among the returning Shiloh
prisoners there were not fifty with sufficient
clothing to completely cover their nakedness.
Nothing in the way of clothing was furnished
them by the rebels, besides they were supplied
with the most disgusting food.
After fully describing the unkind and Often
slve treatment they received, he inquired Of
his many listeners, including ladies, what they
now thought of this boastiul chiyalry. The
people OF the South are determined. There
is perfect yigor of terror and every senti-
ment Tor peace or compromise is instantly sti-
fled. He said he found Union men there
bearing arms against our government. but
they were compelled to do SO at the bidding
OF their masters. The white race to-day i'm
the South are in worse condition than were
the blacks before the war commenced. The
rebel government has more men in arms than
the North think it has. They fight wel-ther
cause Is desperate-tley do not ask for trans
portation aud for comfortable supplies-they
are compelled to take the field with or without
food. 1t was time We should go to work with
= out gloves. We punished them more at An
teiam than many of us suppose. The prison.
ers had opportunities OF seeing the large
numbers OF wounded who were carried South
on the trains, besides the stra9glers.
As to the Libby prison, it was palace COM
pared to the ones in which they were CON
fined. Combs We're scarce and small guards
plenty. Gen. Prentiss hoped there would be
no haltlng until we crush the rebellion. Hang
the leaders and grant amnesty to the deluded
victims of JEFF Davis. Some one in the crowd
inquired, what do they think of Lincon's
emancipation proclamation? Many of the
officers with whom he conversed blasphem-
ously condemned it, saying il was damnable.
and never could be enforced. But he lPren-
tlss) responded to them-If you say you can
never be conquered, and that you are bound
to whip us, what harm can the proclamation
do you. He would declare everywhere that
the proclamation would do more to end the
rebellion than all the battles fought lie was
applauded throughout his remarks Col. Null
hgan and Others addressed the meeting.

age, of Co. A, 18th Maine Regiment, at the
time the regiment left this city, was confined

FROM WASHINGTON.
OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Secretary Chase again at his Post.
Changes and Assignments in the Army.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. IL.
Accounts received from other than news
| paper sources, show that since the battle of
| Antietam there is less indications in Europe
than previously to recognize the Southern
Conlederacy, and that the result of that en-
gagement, so far as the government of the U.
s. is concerned, has decidedly had a beneficial
influence.
| Military indications and privately known
facts are greatly at variance with the current
reports that the army of the Potomac is pre-
pairing to go into winter quarters.
The Agricultural Department has received
gratifying Intelligence from various sections of
the country, OF the success attending the cul-
ture of cotton; those from Southern Illinois
are especially encouraging.
Secretary Chase has been detained at home
for a week by physical infirmity but to-day he
attended Cabinet meeting, and also resumed
the transaction of business at the Treasury
Department.
The department of Tennessee will include
Cairo, Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, North
ern Mississippi and portions of Kentucky and
Tennessee west of the Tennessee river, and,
according to the official order just issued Mai
Gen. Grant is assigned to the command of the
department.
Seventeen field officers, including Generals
Prentiss and Crittenden, and 200 line officers.
recently released prisoners of war from the
South, have been granted leave of absence for
30 days.
Brig. Gen. Rufus King has returned to
Washington from his sick leave of absence,
and been ordered to report to Gen. Mcclellan
for duty.
Capt. c. W. Wadsworth, additional A. d. c.
to Gen. Fremont, has been ordered to report
for duty to Brig. Gen. Reynolds. Col Joseph
ID. Webster, Chief of Staff to Gen. Grant. has

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. II.
In Lancaster county the Republican major
ity on State ticket is 1899. In the 18th District,
Miller, Democrat, has $50 majority.
AT meeting of the return judges to-day,
considerable excitement was created by an

of writ of mandamus by Judge Thompson,
the vote was counted, and Leonard Myers, re-
publican, declared elected by 80 majority.

FROM SANTE FE.
Massacre of Nine Men by the Indians.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. H.
The Sante Fe mail, with dates to the 10th,
has arrived. The Sante Fe Gazette of the 4th
furnishes the following: On the Sth of July
last, party of nine men started from the Pine
Alto mines, in Arizona for California When
they arrived within two miles of Apache Pass,
IL miles from the mines, they were attacked
by the Apache Indians and all murdered
When the bodies were found by Gen. Garlic
tons command, there was evidence to satisfy
them that one of the victims had been burned
at the stake. The massacre is supposed to
have taken place on the 18th of July, and the
remains were found and buried on the 9th of
the same month. Apache Pass is the great
thoroughfare to California, and has to be trav-
elled by all persons going by the southern
route, in consequence of the water which is
there obtained. Gen. Carleton has established
post which commands the spring in the Pass,
and garrsoned it with sufficient force to
keep the Indians from the water and make
them abandon the locality. All is quiet along
the route from Sante Fe.
The new schedule time from Kansas City to
Sante Fe is ten days, leaving Kansas City on
Fridays and reaching Sante Fe on Tuesdays.

The REBEL GUIDES IN PENNsYLv ANA
letter from Harrisburg to the Philadelphia
Press says the men rho piloted the rebels safe
ly through Pennsylvania during the recent
raid, ,cere Pennsylvania Breckinridge dem
ocrdts, and notorious rascals. Their names
are Logan, Wilson, Shines and Brinn. 1t is
also stated that Gen. Stuart and several of his
officers are familiar with that section of coun-
try, from having been stationed at Carlisle
barracks at different times previous to the re-
bellion.
sg young son of Mr.. ID. Haraden of this
city, had a narrow escape from being instant
ly killed on Saturday last week. He was rid
ing a horse, and he was thrown off, his foot
catching in the stirrup. He was dragged some
forty rods, the horse going at a fast speed. The
horse turned on TO the school common, and
just as he was about leaping over the plank
sidewalk, the buckle OF the stirrup broke, thus
disengaging the boy, who must have been in
stantly killed ifhe had struck the sidewalk.
His back was badly lacerated. but he was not
otherwise injured Belfast Age.
gH- F. o. J. Smith having argued in the
Advertiser that the slaves ought not to be
emancipated because Providence designed the
negro as an inferior race to the white man, the
New York Tribune aptly replies that Human
rights do not depend on the equality OF men
or races, but are wholly independent of them
MIR. +. o. j. Smith has more talent than ma
jority of his townsmen, but that gives him no
superiority of legal rights; most of those
townsmen are honester than +. o. j., yet his
equal human rights are unaffected by that cir
cumstance"
szp- The New York Tribune, speaking of
the effect Of volunteering on the election in
Pennsylvania says that Republican member
of the present Congress, who has just closed
an arduous campaign, and been reelected,
writes us privately the night before election as
follows:
"We have sent in all orer eleren thousand
volunteers from my district, and all our poit-
ical loss, on close analysis, is between four
and flee thousand"
HOMICIDE IN KNoX.-The Belfast Age gives
an account of the drowning of little child of
two years by its mother, in the town of Knox.
She is married woman named Knowton.and
belonged in Damariscotta. While in Knox on
a visit she tried twice to drown her child in
pond and succeeded the second time. She
was at first discharged in the belief of her in
sanity, but other circumstances arising to
throw doubt upon it, she was again arrested
and the case is now before the Grand Jury.
1y- Hon. Joseph Holt was invited by the
Union State Committee Of New York to adj
dress the people in behalf of the Wadsworth
and Tremane ticket, and he said in his reply:
"Were it in my power to leave Washington,
nothing would crafty Inc more than to coop
crate with the Committee in the great work of
patriotism in which they are engaged"

POSITION OF THE REBEL ARMY,
The Rebels intend to give Battle.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF PoToMAc,l
October Up. NJ.
Yesterday afternoon when Gen. Hancock
advanced his division to Charlestown, Gen.
Woodbury's division crossed the Potomac at
Shepardstown ford, taking the road leading to
Smithfeld, small village half way between
Charlestown and Bunker Hill. Gen. Wood
bury encamped last night between Leestown
and Kearneysville, about seven miles from
Smithfield. His troops met with but slight
resistance during the day from the enemy's
mounted pickets This morning he advanced
his cavalry towand Smithield, six miles from
Bunker Hill, where he met the cavalry belong
ing to Hancock's lewiston. Before reaching
this point the enemy was found to be in very
large force The reconnaissance here ended,
its object being to ascertain where the main
body of the rebel army was.
There is no doubt that the rebel Generals
intend to give battle at or near their present
location. The indications are that they will
not have to wait long before they again meet
the army of the Potomac.
