with marked interest and instruction to
our version of the war, its origin aud eits
consequences. Mr. Grifiitht thinks that
great good cannot outcome from the con-
duct of our men and their intercourse with
their captors. He thought he perceived in
many instances a reawaking of the old
Union fire, and also an appreciation of our
men that bespoke compulsory service on
the part Of many a poor rebel.
Mr.. Grifith says that Richmond is a
terribly woe begone looking aud stricken
looking sort of place. Hardly sign Of
life was visible in its streets, and all around
the city, SO far as he had opportunity to
judge, the country appeared desolate, sad
and forsaken. The weather was extremely
warm, and there were no accommodations
with which to modify its horrors. The
water was neither good nor cool. No such
thing as fans were seen. The flies swarmed
as in Egypt itself Dirt abounded in great
plentifulness, aud life seemed to hang
YEARLY on the hands of the people who
were not in the army. When our men lett
the Libby prison they were not permitted
to take their blankets with them. They
had to be left behind for the benefit of the
confederacy. While in prison they were
the only beds our soldiers had, and when
the poor fellows left they were not per-
nitted to take up their beds and walk, at
least not walk of with them.

in the Mississippi, and sresthe Yankees in
full retreat across Big Black?
Why, at present, We can only speculate.
Indications are strong that We have done
the main part of our work before Yicks-
burg, and that the siege is over, that Grant
has already "cut sticks; that his forces
are demoralized, that Johnston5has come
up, that possibly Kirby Smith is in the

The ravages Of war are well illustrated
by the case of a southern man living in
the neighborhoOd ofSnyder's Bluffs, who
lately applied, by letter, to GEN. Wash
burne for subsistence for himself and fam
lily. This man was lately the owner Of
seven large and yRell-stocked plantations,
and was estimated to be worth So, 600, 600.
He was in Europe when the war broke out,
and did not reach America again until
utter the occupation Of New Orleans by
General Butler. Slipping through New
Orleans by some means, he came to q ne
plantation in this neighborhood, and was
found here by our army /. He has used
his princely fortune layishly in attempts
to forward the Secession cause. = To-day
he is reduced to the necessity of depending
on the United States military authorities
for the necessaries of life. Think of a
Southern millionaire, the owner Of .thous-
ands of slaves, of a fine house and establish
