The captive's lot is weary one under any clrcuni-
stances. The mere fact of involuntary confinement
the .epsraton from all the ties and associations OF life
the necessity Of obeying the will of stranger and
an enemy even if that enemy be not insoent fte
cannot but CRATE upon the feelings Of any man or num-
Der of men, But when to all these things are superadded
cold privations treatment sickness want OF shelter
and the other namess evils attendant upon vast accu'
mutations of prisoners With limited means for their sus
euance or shelter picture is presented OF character

selves are in beIeaguered fortress bIcckaded coun-

IT ia now the 10th of November. The election Is
over iu the United States and LINCOLN is no doubt
successful; but unsuccessful not, the die is cast
and the result can not be Effected by any military move
ment now or hereafter to be made. GRANT will most
probably make arrangements to 90 into
and prepare for the operations OF the Spring. when ne
expects to be so reinforced to bring his army up TO
two hundred thonsand men, with which he thinks he
can reach the Southside aud Danvile Railroads and
compel the evacuation OF Petersburg AMI Richmond.
After GRANT aud SHERMAN have closed their CAM
pagns for 1864, will come our time of real peril, for
then they will be most able to spare sufficient force to
cooperate with any naval expedition sent cut to oper-
ate against points on the ssaboard SHERHAN's cam
pain must measurably depend upon HOODS movements
and may not close quite 30 soon as GRANTS.
Recently the weather outside has been very heavy
and such as to render it unsafe for vessels to approach
our coast unless with the certainty of making sal
harbor. Certainly in such weather no commander,
matter how reckless, would attempt to land force

could not supply them. We have heard OF an arm
with s wings in the air, but that would be one Wit
ts Ssder in the deep sea. It would not do.

ME-. J. HINES, of Dupin county, has preEented US
with strange specimen of vegetable growth in the
way of sweet poatoe or rather Of three sweet poa-
toes joined at the base and twisted around each other
something like three ply rope, but more like one o
the twist loaves that the bakers used to make when
they had -four enough to give it the grand foreesh-
The vegetable is of the red, or Bermuda kind "hcs
seems to be more given to these freaks than any other
species OF sweet potatoe.

assured it could have been in more than one instance
and es we believe it could have been and could be ID

If any one can afford solution OF either branch OF
