A dispatch 10 the New York Times
states that Andrew johnson, Jr, arrived
10 Washington on the Sd inst. from Rich

Chandler, Of Baltimore. He says Lewis

Mr.. Beard is an old man, and is gradu-
ally sinking under his suherings. He
has I've sons and eight grandsOns in the

IN Castle Thunder, and represents that
the prisoners there suffer for food; but
that prison is paradise compared with

The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1863-12-09

On the 10th Of November, Braxlon
Bragg issued a special order to his
froops, in which be stated falsely that
The United States Government, did not
intend TO carry out the cartel for the
exchange of prisoners. This pro-
cseding be denounced @as opposed TO
the laws Of humanity, and an en-
Iightened civilization" while sit
shows . craft and cunning worthy
of the Yankee in imposing upon as the
msintainauce Of thousands Of bis pris-
oners, that they may consume the sub
stance which should go to the support of
our gallant men and their families"
Now, good reader, is it not the height of
impudence in Bragg to be prating about
Humanity and enlightened civilization"
Why, 1t the very moment he penned bis
general order, Federal soldiers, killed in
the fghs Of CbickamAuga, nearly two
months previously, were lying unburied
on the le-feld, and the heads Of some
of them cut of and stuck upon poles by
his brutal and barbarous sOldiery-he
having refused Gen. Rosecrans the privi-
lege of burying them Equally impu-
dent is bis statement that the Federal
Government wishes to impose upon
the JEFF. Davis despotism the maintain
ance Of thousands of Federal prisoners.
JEFF. Davis holds about 1900 Federal
prisoners. The Federal Government
holds 40 600 rebel pisontr5. A propo-
sition was made to hand over TO JEFF.
Davis 10, 600 Of bis men for the 1900
FedeFAls be holds. The proposition was
declin,d. Had il been accepted, the
rebels would be relieved altogether Of the
worse than savage work they are doing,
in cooIly and malieiOusly starving Fed
erAl soldiers in their prisons. How in
famous Bragg, in view Of this fact must
appear in the eyes OF al honorable men
Farther on, in his general order, Bragg
says:
"This should be known 10 our officers
and men. They know that, If taken
prisoners, those who survive their cruel
treatment will be forced to lsnguish in
Northern dungeons until the close of the
war, subjected TO the taunts and bsrba-
rity Of a merciless foe, If their liberties
and their lives must be lost, the alterna-
tive of honorable death on the field of bat
lie, nobly fighting for the cause of free
dom, will be accepted by brave and pa
triOlic Southern soldiers"
This talk about the alternative of hon.
orable death on the field of battle" 10
but repetition Of the 'last ditch" gas
conade. The elast ditch" has success
lively fallen back from Bowling Green to
Nashville, Nashville TO MurfreesbOrO,
Murfreesboro TO TullahOma, TullahOma
to Chattanooga, and Chattanooga beyond
the honorable death" point to Dalton
His men paid little heed TO the "honOra-
BILE death" argument when they fed like
sheep from Lookout and Missionary
Ridge, accompanied from the latter by
Bragg himself, who skedaddled as fast
as bOrse could carry him, choosing in
preference to honorable death on the
field Of battle" to illustrate the old
cOuplst:

On Tuesday, says the Washington Repub-
hcan, another trial with proiectile and
shell was made at the test battery near
the navy yard. The object of this expert
ment was to perforate target represent
ing, in every respect complete section Of
the British war vessel Warrior-the iron
plating, wooden packing, thickness of the
timber, boiling, &C., Targets represent
ing the Warrior have frequently been per-
forated with solid shot fred from the Dahl
gren gun, but the experiment of Tuesday
was with shelll-Mr. Stafford, the inven-
Tor, believing that with the Dahlgren gun,
he could drive q shell through the iron
plating Of the target before it exploded,
and, perhaps, entirely through, which
would make the projectile still more des-
tructive when directed against o ship.
The target was placed in a vertical posi-
ton against the bank dug out of the hill
side for the purpose, and the shell was
fred at short range from a one-hundred
and fifty pound Tifed Dahlgren gun, and
hfteen pounds of powder The shell pas
sed entirely through the iron, penetrated
to about midway Of the wood and explod-
ed tearing the targets as much as the small
quantity Of powder was capable of doing.
The experiment was considered by those
who witnessed it mot connected officially
With it) a complete success. Ifthe official
report is equally favorable, Mr.. Stafford
can aatter himself that he has dcmonstrat-
ed the praclicability Of firing shell proper
" constructed, into vessels through as
much iron as any war vessel can float with.
Another Of Mr.. Stafford's proiectiles-
solid shot-was fred from the same gun
ct the same target, and the shot passed
entirely through the target iron and wood,
and shattered the wooden portion of it in
70 pieces and penetrated the earth beyond
some five feet When we remember that
the above results were produced with a
much less charge Of powder than is used
IN any but the Dahlgren gun, We may look
for still greater results. Wonder what L.
L. D. mot Earl Russell will have to say
about this last triumph Of American guns,
Hhells and prOjectiles against his British

Among the last heard of oddities at
traoted 10 Paris by various motives is said
10 be q Russian Noble Of great wealth, mis-
fortune being estimated at the respectable
figure of S650,0 a year. A Paris cores
pondent Of Canadian paper says he spends
much of his time travelling, and having
passion for wild beasts, carries an exten-
siEe meuagerie around with him. This no.
bieman, who has extensive estates in the
Ural Mountains, containing an emerald
mine, and producing the finest malachite
in existence, has spent immense sums in
the purchase Of wild beasts, and has sue
eeeded in forming very formidable col
lection, including a lion, two tigers, sever
al panthers, pair Of by enas, various mon
keys, all excessively noisy, and other 'hor-
rors' too numerous TO mention. The
Prince on arriving here, took possession
Of the suite of rooms that had been pre-
viously engaged for him; and as he de-
lights IN poking up his tremendous pets
and set them al roaring together, previ-
ous to feeding them, the dismay Of the
successive layers Of tenants who filed the
rest of the house; from glrret to cellar
may easily be conceived.
The frightful news of the establishment
Of a me,lagerie Of bona fds wild beasts in
private dwelling soon circulated through
out the neighborhood, throwing all the in
habitsnts into spasms Of terror.
Complaints poured in upon the police
authorities, and the guardians of the pub
lie peace +" transported themselves to the
Princes lodgings without delay, satisfied
themselves that the animals were really
there, informed him that the harboring Of
these daAgerous and noisy pets was
against the law, and ordered him to get
rid Of them. The Prince, onhis side, set
forth the impossibility Of his giving up a
collection which he had formed at so great
9 cost, and on which he had set so high a
value and entrested, as he was only pas
sing through Paris en- route for LivOnia,
where he has an immense domain, with
chateau, and plenty Of accommodation for
his beasts to be allowed to keep them, Of
fering to buy out all the other tenants on
terms that would indemnify them for the
loss and cost of the removal, and to take
such precautions as the police authorities
should dictate, against all danger of the
escape of the animals
As the house stands alone, and possesses
large internal court round which the ca
ees OF the dnlmals can De conveniently
ranged, the difficulty was thus got rid of.
The other tenants have quilted the build
ing, taking with them goods and chattels,
and handsome indemnity paid down at
once by the ecceRtric Russian. The latter
has rented the entire house, and is so much
pleased with an anarrangement which leaves
him free to give the range of the premises to
his roaring darlings, that he is determin-
cd to remain here through the winter.

The Principles of EmnncighIIieeEHs AM
nounced by 1lr. Lincoln In 1s9s'
The following eloquent passage was ut
tered by Lincoln in his memorable
canvass with Judge Douglas in 1858. 1t
has the broad emancipation ring about 1t,
and shows that the proclamation was not
= mere matter of parchment or policy,
but a deliberate act Of the conscience and
heart. Hear him:
"These communities, (thirteen colonies }
by their representatives in old Independ-
ence Hall, and to the world Of men hold
tksss truths to Be ssy-sTidsnt that all men are
created free and equal that they are endoDed
By their Creator agith inaAeHable rights; among
tiese are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of hap
giaeSs T This was their majestic interpre-
tation Of the economy Of the universe
Thig-yvas their lefty, and wise, and noble
understanding Of the justice of the Crea-
tor 70 his creatures. Yes, gentlemen, to
all his creatures in the great family Of num-
In their enlightened belief, nothing stamp
ed With The Divine image and likeness, was
sent into the world to be troaden on, and
degraded, ds1d :nsHlted By It's fslJOsOs. They
Rrasped not only the race Of men then liv-
ing, but they reached forward and seized
upon the furthest posterity- They created
q beacon to guide their children, and their
ehildren's children, and the countless
mvriads who shogld inhabit the earth in
other ages. Wise statesmen as they were
they knew the tendency Of prosperity
to breed tyrants; and SO they established
these self-eYident truths, that when, in the
distant future, some man, some faction,
some interest, should set up the doctrine
thst none but rich men, or none but white
men, or none but Anglo-Saxon white men,
were entitled to life, liberty, and the pur-
suit Of happiness, their posterity might
look up again to the Declaration Of indie
pendence and take courage to renew the
battle which their fathers began; SO that
truth and justice and mercy, and all the
humane and Christian virtues might not
be exinguished from the land so that no
man would hereafter dare to limit and cir
cumscribe the great principles on which
the temple Of liberty was being built
