Unton Prl.oner. in Georeia,

We laid before our readers yesterday a
detailed account of the horrible condition
of the prison at AndersonviIle, Georgia, in
which thirty-hye thousand of our brave
heroes are incarcerated. Exposed in a
field Of thirty acres of ground, under a
burning tropical sun, with scurvy and pes
thence stalking in their midst, with lunacy
fastening itse'fupon the maddened brains
of the poor victims of rebel barbarities, it
is the saddest spectacle Of the age. To
think that many, in their desire to be rid of
their suferings, cross the "dead line" and
willingly receive the bullet which ends
their miseries, is shocking as connected
with a people once claiming the proud dis
tinction Of American citizens. This cruel
po icy has doubtless been executed by the
rebels with the view to compelling the
government TO accede to their terms of ex-
change 1t may be that it is the duty Of
the government to exchange on the best
terms that can be obtained. But even this
cannot be done except with considerable
los to US and gain to them. The rebels
now in our possession have been kept as
civilized people should keep rnenthat have
been captured. When they are returned
they will be healthy, able-bodied men.
They viii make an immediate addition to
their effective force, of fifty Thousand men.
willie but small proportion of the men
they win return VIII be fit for service The
odds will be decidedly in their favor; bat
yet something must be done for their re-
lease. b. g. is .-4.a-a- .
But, while this should be done, why do
not the friends Of the chivalry here in the
North lay before their readers a statement
of the cruelties praetieed upon cur soldiers? ?
Why do they snap up every opportunity
to declaim against any apparent severity
towards rebel prisoners in the North, while
they have'not a manly word Of condemna-
ton for the manner in which our brave
boys are murdered in the South?
9 o.AdmitH says the Tribune, "what we
suppose to be the fact-that the rebels are
short '--that they feed our prisoners mis- |
erably because they are unable TO feed |
them well--how can you account for their |
neglecting our unhappy brethren month |
after month, unsheltered, and exposed to /
frost, storms and dews? Trees are notori-
ously abundant throughout the Southern |
Confeueracy; il were easier to locate d
camp in woods than out Of them
Give them but trees and axes, and our
brave boys would shelter themselves ade-
quately in a day, and would provide fire
places, beds Of dry boards, &c, in another.
Why, then, are they turned like hogs into
an open field, there to suffer and die by
hundreds, Of exposure, privation, and the
diseases thence inevitably resulting Who
can palliate such wanton cruelties? How
can they be explained, save on the hypoth-
sis that the COnfederatechief deliberately
purpose the death, or permanent disability,
IF our Union yoluateers2
aCome, Messrs. Rebel Sympathizersl
ct US hear how you explain this conduct of
rour chivalric Southern brethren

The Deeax Of Conversatlon.

One reads with some surprise as well as
great pleasure, the brilliant conversation
recorded by Boswell, in the famous club
where DR.. johnson, for many years reigned
as king. Literary men aimed then to be
brilliant takers, and their power in this
line was wonderful. Chambers's Journal
laments that this faculty is So generally
neglected in our day. 1t says, with much
truth:
The ancient art of talking IS falling into
decay. 1t is an ascertsinable fact that, in
proportion to an increased amount Of pop
ulation, the aggregate bulk Of conversation
is lessen;ng. People nowadays have
something else to do than talk; not only
do they live in such hurry that there il
only leisure for just comparing ideas rs to
the weather, but they have each and all a
gross quantity to do, which puts talking
out of the question. If persois remain at
home, they read; if they journey by rail-,
they read if they go to the seaside, they
read; We have met misguided individuals
out in the open fields with books in hand
young folks have been seen stretched Il
derneath trees and upon the banks Of rlv-
ers, poring over pages; on the tops oI
mountains, in the desert, or within forests
everywhere, men now pull printed sheet;
from their pockets, and in the earliest
latest, highest occupations Of life they read
The fact is incontestably true that moderE
men ard women are reading themselye:
into comparatively silent race Reading
is the great delusion Of the present time
it has become sort of lay piety, according
to which the perusal of volumes ree<on
as good works; it is, in a Word, the super
stition of the nineteenth century.

Rebel "GIOrIOus NeWs'' that Proved not
to be Very Glorious.


On the 18th of August the denizens OF
the city of Richmond were highly gratifed
with dispatch from Petersburg, announc-
ing that the Yankees had been driven from
the Weldon Railroad, and that two thou
sand prisoners had been taken "to grace
the yictors spoils.' Such news was un-
doubtedly highly gratifying to the beleag
ured peopleof Richmond as they know that
their salvation depends on keeping open
the railroad lines which enable them to
feed their army. But alas for the vanity of
human hope. Instead of Grants being driv-
en- from the Weldon Road, the rebel forces
were obliged to fall back behind their de-
fences in Petersburg, and allow the des-
truetion Of the road to be accomplished
On Sunday last they again advanced with
view to further glorious news" but sue
cceded only in slaughtering two rebel di-
visions, loosing a large number Of prisoners,
together wi h foul rebel Generals. They
again retired, bitterly mortified, within the
9 Cockade City, and viii probably wait a
while before attempting any farther dem
onstration. Since Sunday our forces have
moved up the Weldon road within two
miles of Richmond, encountering no oppo-
sition. The secure position Of this line,
leaves Grant free to operate again upon the
DanviIe road. There will be some more
/" glorious news" within few days, but not
fer the rebels. ir1

FROM GENERAL SHERIDAN'S ARMY.
The SituatiOn-Al llalniHeent Country
Observation-Disclosures Of Union Men.
HARPER's FERRY. Aug. e. ls62.

The army now occupy the Heights near,
and on the line with Halltown, following
the first Of the three ranges OF hills conf
prising the Heights Of Bolivar. Our line
is an exceedingly strong one, and it Is to be
hoped that the enemy will stack US in our
present position The right is held as be-
fore by the Sixth Corps, but the center has
now been assigned to the Eighth Corps
Our right rests on the Potomac, and the left
reaches to the banks of the Shenandoah,
thus giving us a complete command Of this
kew to the valley. As one rides along the
entire line Of our front he is impressed with
the commanding position Of the hills, and
almost imagines that they were thrown up
with an eye to their especial adaptability to
defensive purposes. PA"
Away of ia the direction of Charles
town, the country stretches out like pan
Drama, and you can see every house and
field for miles Charlestown itself is al
most at your feet, and the Potomac winds
its tortuous way to the right, its course
marked by dark fringe of foliage. On
the left the poetic Shenandoah is lost
amidst a succession of hills and the eye
tires in following the diversified landscape
of hill and dale.
Gen Sheridan's headquarters have been
establishedin the amediste vicinity of Hall
| town. upon which place our centre rests.
| The cavalry remained out in front outside
OF CharlestOwn, and occupied nearly the
/ same position abandoned by Gems crook
I and Wright. When I left Charlestown
this morning at 5 o'clock, skirmishing had
been going on for some time, and it assumed
/ tfy-.--;sl-bIo- Dimensions as L Gle ued the
town on my way 10 this place. A heavy
and constant dropping fire was kept upun-
til O'Clock, but no shells were thrown by
either side.
Great disappointment by Union residents
IS expressed at the falling back Of our
forces in the direction Of Harpers Ferry,
and large numbers of refugees are this
morning leaving this place by the daily
train for Baltimore. From Winchester
they went to Martinsburg, and yesterday
they.and the loyal citizens otthelatter town
hurried into Charleston, hoping that they
would be enabled to remain at least
near their homes but last night these un-
fortunate gentlemen were compelled tO
come to the Ferry and seek safety still
further on, in Maryland and Pennsylvania,
Bat they murmur not although they feel
poignant disappointment at the abandon
mentOf the valley once more by our troops
a Union man in these latitudes is a Union
man indeed, and their unassuming conduct
amidst all their undeserved hardships
would put to blush many lukewarm pat
riot in the far off and prosperous North.

The Democratic party are just now imi-
tating the tactics of the rebels when they
make 6. charge they set up an unearthly
yell for the purpose Of intimidating THEN
enemies. They expect that bluster VIII
win. But in this they win find themselves
entirely deceived The Union party is
cool and determined Each man viii stand
fast in his place, refusing TO listen to no
false Establishments, but bent on the restO-
ration of the Union. The great work be-
gun by the Government, and prosecuted SO
nearly 70 an accomplishment, is not to be
destroyed by party, but for whom our
armies would already have triumphed over
the rebellion. They may endeavor to work
upon the ignorant fears Of the people by
denunciaiions or open resistance Of the
coming draft, but there are stout hearts
enough in the army and among the people
to overpower both Iebe1s and Copperheads.
Nobody need be alarmed at the noise and
bluster Of the enemy. That must be ex-
pected. But let every Union man stand
firm in his unalterable purpose to secure
Union and Freedom to the whole common
wealth.

y Mr.. spaulding delivered written address
in which he briefly recounted his course in

Its efforts to establish the Union and put
