he found the faithful girl, scantily clothed like

She had placed some garments that she had

set them on FIRE, the flames communicating to
the wood work of the room. In battling with

7. T. Crittenden, of East Tennessee, gives a
narrowing picture of his treatment at the hands
of the rebels. He and twenty-five others we're
incarcerated in a filthy dungeon, where they
we're confined for several months, and where
they were subjected to every indignity that mis-
fortune could endure and brutally inflict. They
we're, for instance, compelled at the point of the
bayonet to beat the dough which, the negroes
cooked for their use; to police the ground en-.
closing the prison; TO clean the sinks; to dig
and clean out the wells; to make and repair
fences; to carry food for others to eat; to scrub
hoors! Some Of them were the first citizens of
East Tennessee. Their only crime consisted h
refusing to desert the old flag. Can it be that
rebellion maintained by such hellish agencies
can succeed!
