other Union prisoners has arrived IN
Washington, and tells among other things
of absorbing interest, that the average nun,

of them get their death warrants on Belle

swept with winds, and wrapped in togs'-
Our men are without blankets, and but one

run down with frightful rapidlty. -Four

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE

FRIDAY, Nov. 27, 1863.
Mr. Carskadden occupied the Chair in
absence Of the President.
Rev. Mr.. Blakensy opened the Senate

ate referred the report to new committee.
The message also announced the passage of
"a bill concerning slaves" "bill confirm
ing the election of William E. Allison" and
that the same had indefinitely postponed
tn joint-resolution of the Senate relating to
the location of the capitol of the State.
The bill providing for the construction
and repair of roads and bridges was taken

Arrived at the generals tent, she threw
herself at his feet, and demanded the priv

slain. Moved at the sight of her youth,
and astonished at her courage, the general

The night was dismal, and the undertak-
ing fearful one, but the difficulties daunt
ed not the resolute Katharine. She soon
came upon field covered with the unequal
contest, while the groans and cries of an
guish told that many still survived the
slaughter. ar 's''.' e.
Intent alone upon discovering her more
than father, she did not discover the pres
ence of a young Cossack officer, who, struck
with her charms, and admiring her boldness,
had accompanied Ger to the CORY field.
"The evening air is chilling, and this is
no place for women; pray return, and leave
me to seek your wounded kinsman."
Astonished at the sound Of human voice,
she turned and recognized in the stranger
the sentinel who had impeded her progress
without the city. walls. Refusing his gener-
Gus offer, she permi ted him to aid in her
errand of mercy and love.
Long and tedious was the search, but un-
availing, and at early dawn they returned to
the city, baviug failed to find the remains OF
the good old minister.
Katharine religiously kept her word, and,
surrendering herself prisoner of war, de-
nsnded the protection Of the noble general.

1t is said that they furnished lint to certain
OF the hospitals for wounded men on which
they had sprinkled cayenne pepper, and
that the vlllany was not discovered till the
poor patients cried out under the intiiction
of the wicked application. No punishment
could be too severe for such crime as this.
At the same time it is to be presumed that
thes charges have some more ssubstantiai
basis than Abolition Invention.
The thought that Salmon P. Chase, the
most unscrupulous and unconipromislng
Radical in the land, is to become Chief Ju US
tice of the Supreme Court is enough to
take ones breath. But it is mistake to
call him the 'sfather of the greenbacks,p u
because little Robert j. Walker is the
real parent of. all the existing financial
system for which Chase is gaining credit
Be it good or evil Chase is not its author. &
Gen. Schenck having usurped powers in
Maryland that should bring his head to the
block, in his labors to force the election of
an Abolition SI eaker to the House of Rep
resentatives, now resigns his military to un.

forbidding edorousness; name Synonymous
with all that is false, venal and treachsrou us

1t is to be hoped he will, during the coming
Congress; receive something of that casti-
CATION he so richly merits. "The tool of a

appropriate designations. ---,,.r-l
The New York Tribune now thinks the
rebellion ought to be squelched by the first
of next May. So these triasrs with popu-
lar topas and interests continue to insult
US, with one prediction giving the fat lie to
the prediction which preceded it. But the
Tribune is tricking its readers, and is mere
ly engaged in the effort to hoodwink the
public by pretending to desire to have the
war closed. The first hope of the Tribune
is to continue the war until the country and
all its interests are thoroughly brought down
to the feet of the odious fanaticism and fol-
lv that now rule our destinies. The Radi-
Gals will let no means 60 untried to centin
ue the war till the country is ruined by their

Mr.. Crisfeld publicly announces his in-

A Soldiers Cap.

The local editor of the Plaindedier, who
attended the Inauguration of the National
Cemetery at GsttySbnrg while examining
the memorable field Of battle picked up a
soldiers cap Immediately behind the stone
wall where Sickles, Sedgwick; and Howard
made their heroic stand against the impctu-
Gus forces of Pickett's division OF Long
streets corps, and thus diseourses in regard
to its appearance and probable mourHful
history:
at is weather stained, blood stained, and
right in its fore piece is a ragged, ominous
bullet hole. which thrills the observer with
the uuspoken story of brave man shot
down where that old wall OF stone now
silently stands, over it the blue sky, around
it the hills and valleys Of Pennsylvania
We gaze at the cap--the ugly hole-.and
ponder over the unknown history OF the
wearer. Was he young, or in his prime
Had he mother, sister;
