Genius VIII Oue.

The Nor of the Kenosha Telegraph
has recently had an interview with an
escaped prisoner from Libby-a resident
of Racine county, and tells the following:
AS an illustration of the manner in
which some Of the prisoners pass their
time, Mr.. A showed us an deliberately
carved pipe bowl on which be spent many
a weary and irksome hour. This is really
curiosity, as well as a remarkable piece
OF workmanship, aud stamps it's maker as
real genlus-a FIRST class artist as well
as good soldier. This pipe, in the shape
of large meerschaum, forms . complete
history of the lst Wisconsin. The date
and place of each battle in which the reg
iment had participated up to the battle Of
Chickamauga-the places where the ma
ker had been imprisoned, and the number
OF days in each place-lhe coat-of-arms
Of Wisconsin, picture of the battle Of
Chickamauga, figure of Gen. Stark
weather on horseback; capital likeness
with several other pictures aud devices
oil beautifully and regularly carved in bass
relief. The lettering in various styles Of
fancy letter, is marvel of neatness and
accuracy. 1t should have place 10 the
museum of our State Historical Society.
1t is the fioest piece Of workmanship Of
the kind that we ever saw.

The kilograms announcing the recovery
Of the Pope are only hall believed. Thu
exclusion Of all strangers from the vati
can during the last few weeks led some
of the most suspicious persons to suspec,
that the Pope is really dead, and that hi.
death is beeing concealed while his sue.
cessor is being appointed and established
on the Papal throne. These surmises
however, appear to have no better ground
than those which held that the Queen Of
james II. did not give birth to son, bu,
had an infant introduced by stealth into
the palace. In the meanwhile great ex-
oitemens prevails in Italy. and there seems
no very cordial feeling between the GOV.

The city of Petersburg, Dinwiddie
county, Virginia, is on the south bank 81
the Appomatox river, twelve miles above
its junction with the James at City Point.
and is twenty-five miles BY railway. and
twenty-three BY turnpike south east Of
Richmond. Its population in 1854 Was
sixteen thousand, and was growing rapi-
dly. 1t was one of the greatest tobacco
markets in Virginia, and contains many
fine public and private buildings. Sew
eral Of its streets are lined with three.
story brick houses, giving it fns uni
form appearance. 1t is at the head OF
tide water on the Appomstox, which is
nav;gable to the town, furnishes splendid
seer-power. whichis employed In several
extensive manufacturing establishments.
The Great Southern Railway, from Rich
mond to Charleston, passes directly
through the city. Until the war CON-
menced, however, there was a break of
about mile in the road, In the town, ma
king necessary . transfer Of freight and
passengers from depot to depot. chilli
tary necessity" however caused the rail-
road connection to be perfected; and this
road, the great feeder of Lees army, and
Of Richmond, is The most important in
the Southern Confederacy.
1t would be exceedingly announcement
to General Grant to assail Richmond from
the South and leave Petersburg in the
hands of his enemies in the rear. Having
destroyed the railroads north and west q
Richmond, SO as to cut off supplies from
that direction, the first point Grant hai
to make after the passage Of the Jane.
River, is to take Petersburg. Then he
can give his attention to the Danvill,
Railroad, the only remaining railway con
nection between Richmond and the South
and to Fort Darling, which checks oul
progress up the James.
