10. Then straightway Michael turned
his back upon the land of his fathers, and
went to the seaside, and got upon a ship
bound for the coast Of America and that
he might not spend the scrip in his purse,
he took passage on the lower deck of the
vessel, and became even as an hireling.
20. Now when the ship had been at sea
many days, the provisions thereon became
exceeding scarce, so that they who were
on the lower deck were fed upon mean
victuals, the same being none other than
bean soup, aad onions, and boiled chestnuts.
21. And it came to pass when the ship
drew nigh unto the coast of America,
there came violent storm, and the winds
blew with grea. force, and the vessel was
beaten against rock, and parted, and all
they that were therein, save Michael, per-
ished and were lost.
%. Now Michael was mysteriously
spared, and it was in this wise: For just
before the storm set in, Michael, being
an hungered, had partaken of much bean
soup, besides plenty of onions and boiled
ches.nuts,
23. And after he nad so done, behold

better to let the traitor live, and report him
to his Government, if opportunity ever Of
fered. The Lieutenant Colonel, we under
stand, will be reported to the War Office.
His excuse is that he informed Union of
ficer in hospital of the attempted escape,
and that Rebel officer overheard the con-
Yersation.
These prisoners confirm, in every partic-
ular, the statements heretofore made of the
treatment of Federal prisoners there. The
rations of the officers were about the same
as those of the Rebel privates, but our pri-
Yates on Belle Island did not fare so well.
As long as the boxes sent from friends at
the North were delivered, they lived as we'll
as could be expected under the circumstan-
ces. Those who had money were allowed
to send out and get what they wanted, by
paying three times more than Richmond
prices. the profits going into the pockets of
the officers of the prison. In other respects
the treatment was quite harsh.
When a prisoner entered the prison, any
articles found upon him that were fanoied
by the Rebel officers or guards were taken
possession of; they pretended the money
and articles were deposited with the quar-
termaster
The sleeping accommodations were very
poor. and the only place they had to exer-
else their limbs in was the dining-room.
For while the officers were not furnished
with meat at all, and at one time they re-
celVed flesh which was pronounced by those
among the officers who knew something of
butcbering as being mule meat, as they knew
OF no cattle used for food which had bones
like those found in the meat
The privates on Belle Island, it is un-
questioned, have eaten dogs; in fact, were
obliged to do it in order to sus tain life.

THE DANISH QUESTION.

To give our readers an understanding Of
the SchlesWig- Holstein question. we clip
the following from the Bloomington (nl. J
Paragraph:
europe seems to be on the very brink
of great war, owing to a difficulty con-
nected with two petty Duchies, not so vegy
much larger than Isaac Funk's farm. The
facts of the case seem to be about as fol-
lows:
"On the boundary between Denmark and
Germany, lie the two little provinces of
Schleswig and Holstein, mostly inhabited
by Germans, and having representatives in
the German legislative assembly called the
Diet. In these DuchIes, the SalIc law pre-
walls, by virtue of which no woman can
ever inherit the throne. In Denmark this
law is not in force. The late king of Den
mark was also Duke of Schleswig and HoI-
stein, but they were not an integral part of
the Danish kingdom. This sovereign, Fred
erick VII, died last November. But for
the Salic law, SchlesWig and Holstein would
revert with Denmark to Christian, the faith
er of Alexandria, Princess of Wales; but
as this would be giving him the inheritance
by right Of his mothers heirship, the
Duchies do not revert to him, but to anoth-
er heir, the German Prince of Augusten-
berg. However, in order to secure the
integrity of the Danish monarchy, England.
France, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Swe-
den, held conference at London in 1852,
and decided to oVer-rule the Salic law, and
make King Christian, of Denmark, the heir.
son the other hand, the Germans, anx-
ious to establish the national unity, sup
port the claims of the Prince of Augusten-
berg, and say that the other powers have no
business to NEEDLE.
"Late advices state that the Danes have
been completely driven out of the Duchies
by the victorious Germans. France has
lately Withdrawn from the compact. 1t
remains to be seen whether England will
support her Danish ally or not. Already
her people are beginning to grumble at the
policy of marriage with foreign princess
which entails a war upon their nation.
British statesmen are watching our seaports
with anxiety. How easy it would be to wine
out old scores, by sending out hundred
Alababamas, under the German FLAG, to
sweep the last vestige OF her commerce from
the oceani We have terrible account against
our rascally step mother to settle, and this
war may hasten the day of reckoning. The
question will then be: Will England pre-
fer to pay liberal indemnity, or suffer retail
iatinn 81 Ii-d9 gl.o may yet repent her
bitter injustice toward US In the hour of our
great calamity"

SILVER AND GOLD BY THE ToN.-Silver
quarters and gold dollars have so long been
curiosities in the, States east of the Rocky
Mountains, that gold and silver by the ton
has very fabulous sound to the masses.
Even nickel cents are boarded, and shown
to the children as ''pretty coins,'' if new
and bright. Not so with our ''silYer sis

Enterprise of Jan. 23I says:
Yesterday morning Wells, Fargo & Co.
shipped thirty-two bags of bullion from
their Office in this city, which weighed
2,343 pounds, valued at SCI, 977. For the
past three days the shipments from this one
Office have averaged $40, 900 per day.

FRIEND STorLER II have, within few

which, presume, would be of interest to
many of the readers of the News. The
letters are from a mana member of the
Society of Friends-Calvin G.. Perkins.
who has been there during all the trouble,
and has lately escaped from that State and
arrived in Indiana.
He says that he had been stopping at the
house of Jacob Carter (my father for some
months past, and that in that community
they were generally getting along WELL
though the poorer class were suffering great
" from the effects of the war.
That the Boarding School, under the
control of the Society of Friends, at New
Garden, was in prosperous condition.
