Terrible Suferiags of Parofed Prisoners
Deaths FROM Stdrrdtion.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 80.
The American has letter from reliable
correspondent, dated Annapolis, Nd, 10Th,
which says the flag of truce boat New York
arrived at the Naval School wharf this morn
ing from City Point, bringing ISL paroled men,
Eight OF the number died on the boat on its
way here. They actually starved to DEATH
Never in the whole course OF my life have
seen such a sight as these men presented
They were living skeletons. Every man Of
them had to be sent to the hospital, and the
surgeons opinion is that more than a third OF
them will die, being beyond the reach OF nour-
ishment or medicine.
questioned several Of them, and all stated
that their condition had been brought on BY
the treatment they had received at the hands
of the rebels. They have been kept without
food, aud exposed large portion Of the time
without shelter of any kind. To look at these
poor men aud hear their tales of woe, as to
how they have been treated, one would not
suppose they had fallen into the hands OF the
Southern chiyalry, but rather into the hands
of savage barbarians, destitute Of all humani-
~ or feeling.

GREED OF GAIN.

Coed God even now in the crisis of our
country, greed is gloating over money! when
every man, and all he has, is, or can be, is need
ed for the death grapple! AS the lava food rolled
over Pompeii, and fixed the farmer in the field /,
the merchant at his wares, the artisan at his
craft, and the miser counting his gains, all to be
uncovered and gazed at by posterity, SO shall
this war fix US where place ourselves now,
and, as we assume positions and act now, so shall
we be blessed Of posterity, or pilloried for un-
dying scorn and detestation.
All who withhold any aid within their power,
whether personal service, money, influence, char
ity, or what not for fear of injury, pain. dscom-
fort, loss or grief, are morally towards; and if,
while wishing to be free, they tail to strike the
blow at the very time that Freedom waits to
welcome them to her temple, sympathy ney-
er be theirs, though
ssHampered TO the CALLING oar for life
They plough the wintry wave, and reap despair"
Alas! we have thousands of such, whose pres
enee is poison to the blood and debility to the
strength of the nation. Would to God we could
segregate them. and let them, as people, be the
serfs of the Yankee Czar.-lEnquirer.

THIS is LIFE.

If we die to-day, the sun will shine as brightly,
and the birds will sing as sweetly tomorrow
Business will not be suspended for moment,
and the great mass will not bestow thought up
on our memories. 6 Is he dead ?'' will be the
solemn inquiry of few, as they pass to their
pleasure or to their work. But no one will miss
US except our immediate connections, and in
short time even they will forget us, and laugh
as merrily as when we sat beside them
Thus shall we all now active in life, pass away.
Our children crowd close behind us, and they
will soon be gone. In a few years not living
being can say, 81 remember him. We lived
in another age, and did business with those who
have long since slumbered in the tomb. Thus is
life! How rapidly it passeth! O, blessed are
they who are held in everlasting remembrance

TALE REARING.

Never repeat story, unless you are certain it
is correct; and, even not then, unless something
is to be gained of interest to YOURSELF for the
good of the person concerned. Tattling is
MEAN and WICKED practice, and he who indulges
in it. grows more fond of it in proportion as he
is successful. If you have no good to say of
your neighbor, never reproach his character, by
telling that which is false. He who tells you the
faults of others, intends to tell others of your
faults, and so the dish Of news is handed from
one to the other, until the tale becomes enor-
nous. A story never looses anything, it is WISE
Iy remarked; but, on the contrary, aceumulates
in proportion as it is repeated by those who have
not very strict regard for truth. Truly, ssthe
tongue is as an nnruly member, full of deadly
poison.''

EoR THE SPECTATOR.

Mr.. EDIToR.--I am rejoiced that our patriotic
Governor has called the Legislature to convene
on the 7th of next month. If ever there was a
time in our history that demanded the energies
OF our men of talents and brave hearts, that will
rescue our country from the hands of q besotted
tyrant, now is the time for them to show their
hands. [ have been astonished that our most
prominent men, who ought TO be the first to
sound the alarm. through the medium Of the
public press, are, at the present moment as quiet
as mouse, engaged in adding dollar to dollar,
when the country that gave them birth is bleed
ing at every pore Ihope, when the Legislature
meets, prompt and decisive steps will be TAKEN
to Iut the whole State in proper state of de-
fence to repel the Internal foe who seeks our ru-
in. 19 54s JUSTICE.
