Sickness and suffering OF Union Prisoners.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.
Surgeon w. W. Myers, of the U. S. steamer
State of Georgia, who was captured on the
l4th of May last, by a band of North Carolina
Rangers. in the Chesapeake & Albermare
Canal and for a long time closely confined as
a hostage for one DR.. Green, of the rebel army,
has just made an official report TO Secretary
Welles. For while he says, he had access to
the hospitals where the Union prisoners were
confined, and since the battle Of Chicamauga
the number-of deaths average some fifty per
day, the most prevalent diseases being those
of the respitory and digestive organs. Lately
they have increased alarmingly, caused by the
bad food given as rations and insufficient
clothing and shelter. The cases coming from
Belle Isle TO the hospital all argue starvation
Ten per cent. Of the prisoners are sick men,
Corn bread and sweet potatoes form the daily
food given to the SICK, and very little of that
In one instance the ambulance brought sixteen
to the hospital and during the night seven
died. 1t is sad scene to look at the saunt
and sharp-yisaged prisoners.

on the other side.
The latest reliable intelligence is that Lees
force do not exceed 10000 men. Ewell, il not
dead, is relieved from the command of his
corps in consequence OF disability, occasioned
by the stump OF his leg having broken out
afresh. He has been succeeded by Gen. Ety.

Earls corps is fortified from point near
Mountain Rum south Of the Rapidan. follow
ing the west of Hills, westerly to the railroad,
where it connects with Hills corps which
covers the Rapidan, thence westwardly. The
enemys right flank near the Mountain is pro-
tected by line of works diverging from the
river deiences, running south and then south
west, resembling our own position at Gettys-
burg. Our crossing points therefore were all
between the Rappahannock and the rebel po-
sltion.
A portion OF our troops reached the other
side of the Rapidan yesterday, and the remain
der to-day, together with headquarters, which
moved before nine this morning. The enemy
were discovered in force, but contracted their
lines and fell back from the river.
No opposition was made TO onr crossing,
excepting at one of the upper fords.
Shortly after nine o'clock this morning
heavy cannonading commenced and continued
up to five this afternoon, without intermission,
but no particulars of the engagement have
been received at Washington. 1t was proba-
bly, along both sides of the plank road, in front
of Orange Court House ,ras this was expected
to be the battle field. Late last night Mosby
with 4 force of cavlary. captured a train while
it was moving from Brandy Station TO our
front. He secured Is of the wagons, 139
mules, and burnt 10 wagons. They were
loaded with oats.

Arrest of Pennsylvania Copperheads.

The Knights of the Golden Circle have
made demonstration of their weakness
in Pennsylvania. Four Of these fellows were
arrested at Reading last Wednesday. The
next day the order turned out, two hundred
and eighty strong, and marched into Reading
four abreast, at about IL o'clock, with no
effect except the collection of an immense
crowd, who hooted and jcered and effectually
overawed the rioters. Several ofthem, stray
ing from the ranks, were severely beaten.
The parties arrested had hearing in Phil
adelphia Thursday. They are Philip Huber.
Augustus F. Illig, Gabriel Hilbert, and Harri-
son Oxeneider. The first witness sworn was
William Y. Lyons, United States detective
He testified that on the 2lst Of March, hear
Ing that a reasonable meeting was to be held,
he proceeded TO the place IA barn., and hid
himself under the straw. Presently, a hun
dred men had assembled; before they proceed
ed TO business Mr.. Huber told them to search
the barn, to see If there were any spies con-
cealed In 1t; he directed them to run a dung
fork or hay-fork into the straw, TO see if there
were any spies concealed under it, after this
was done, he ordered pickets to be thrown
outside the barn; this was between and 9
O'Clock; the men went out, then the men in
side took the obligation; Mr.. Huber did the
talking; he denounced the war as urholy and
unjust: he said the society was million
strong; he stated that it first was organized in
the South that the s""'ety had signs, and pass
words and grips. He administered the obi
CATION; there were eighty three men who join
ed by taking the obligation, which was in
this form:
Are you in favor of the abduction of Alb
raham Lincoln, by force if necessary? Are
you In favor Of a Northwestern Confederacy I?
Are you in favor Of resisting the draft or the
CONSUMPTION act?
The witness also testified that Huber had
said to him personally that the society meant
TO use force to accomplish its purpose. This
testimony was amply confirmed by that of 9TH
er witnesses.

SECURING BLOSSOMS FROM FROST. The
following practical and effectual method of
securing blossoms from blight of frost, is one
we have practiced, and can assure our readers
Is well deserving of attention and trial. We
have secured the result by packing snow
around the body of the tree, and adding the
covering recommended over that, which rem
ders il most etfectual. We copy the following
from the Portsmouth journal: "In this lati-
tude il is known by pomologists that as soon
as the frost is out of the ground in the spring
the sap begins to ascend into the body and
limbs of the tree, the buds swell, the leaves
start and the blossoms soon appear. As is
well known too, in some seasons the buds are
much damaged, or the blossoms are entirely
bllghted by the severe cold and frosty nights
That follow. In conversation recently with
practical pomologist, who has been eminently
successful in raising all kinds of fruit-par-
ueularly pums, peaches and cherries-he in
formed us that the great secret of his success
was in keeping the frost in the ground until
the dangerous nights had passed, by early
spreading over the surface of the ground above
the roots, of sufficient depth, straw, manure,
or any kind of compost; that in some seasons
he had seen his neighbors' trees in full bloom
even before he had removed his surface cover
ing and the result proved that while not I'M
frequently the frosty nights were fatal to his
neighbors' crops, his own trees blossoming out
late were sure to yield him an abundant
harvest"
