10y The condition of the released Union
prisoners, who have lately arrived at Baltimore
from Richmond, is terrible. They are wasted
to mere skeletons. Few complain of any dis
ease but the weakness which results from
starvation, Of which many have died. John
Oliver, sergeant Of Go. X, seth Ohio regi.
ment, a native Of Frankfort, Ross county, fell
into absolute insanity, and died shortly after
reaching the Baltimore hospital. Men weigh.
ing, when In health, $50 to 200 pounds, are
reduced through want Of food alone, to 100
pounds. One of the men reported to q Wis.,
itor that out Of $50 sick persons taken into
one Richmond hospital, in a month SOS died.
Ir Belle Island, the suffering was unparalleled.
Many-a dozen or more-had their feet, fin
gers, hands and toes frozen off, whilst expos
ed to the severe weather in this desolate
abode. 70 keep from freezing entire, they
were often compelled to bundle, dozens to.
gether, and change positions as those under
Dot warm, and those outside began to freeze.
1t was no uncommon thing to see twenty,
thirty, forty and fifty dead bodies carried out
in q day, or to behold them strewn around
like carcasses of dumb animals.
Dogs and rats were caught when opportu.
nifty afforded, and eaten by prisoners on this
island as choice morsels, and an old bone dis
covered here was gnawed as o d~elicacy.
What came of the many gifts Of provisions
sent from home, prisoners, with extreme ex-
ceptions, 1uld not tell, save where they saw
them at lines eagerly devoured by the rebels
themselves.

TIE DEAD SPEAKING.-1n one of the mos
beautiful streets o fNew Orleans stands q
colossal statue of Clay. The monument has
been a sort of rallying point of secessionists,
ever since the Federal occupation, to compare
notes and talk of rebel successes and Union
disasters. From the New Orleans Era we
learn that Mayor Hoyt formerly a citizen of
st. Louis, has given orders to have inscribed
upon the pedestal of the statue the following
words from one of the speeches of Clay:
eff l could be instrumental in eradicating
this deepest stain, slavery, from the charac-
ter of our country, I would not exchange the
proud satisfaction which l should enjoy for
the honor of all the triumphs ever decreed to
the most successful conqueror."
The monument might be chiseled all oyer
with like passages from Clay, expressing moi
only his intense disapproval Of slavery, but
his adherence Of the policy of making the
interests of the institution the war cry fol
the destruction OF the Union. Foreseeinl
that a contingency like the present might oc
cur, he most emphatically declared where
in such an event, his influence would be Civ
en-, and that he could never be found fighting
under any secession banner.

A WoNAN's REvENGE.-Mrs. M,ry A.
Blackstock, Of Allegheny City, Pa, was en-.
gagged to Robert Simpson who finally found
his love exhausted, and not only broke the
contract but slandered her. She commenced
suits for SANDER and breach of promise, but
was induced to withdraw them and pay the
costs by . renewal of the engagement, which,
If he broke a second time, she assured him
would be followed by his death. He was sat.
isfied with the engagement, but within two
weeks, to-wit on last Thursday, he led to the
altar a young Lady of Pittsburg, and on Sat-
urday morning, after seeing the notice Of
Simpsons marriage, Mrs. Blackstock provided
herself with a Sharp's revolver, and started
in pursuit of him. She accidentally met
Simpson on the street, and told him she was
going to execute her threat. He seized both
her hands. hut she succeeded in firing. a shot
into his left shoulder. whereupon he pushed
her to the ground and took refuge in a livery
stable. She started in pursuit, but was over
powered by the crowd and taken to the May
or's Office, where she gave bonds to keep the
peace and $1,000 bail for her appearance at
Court. She is Of progressing appearance,
has three children, and is about So years Of
age. She declared her intention to have been
to kill Simpson, and regretted her failure, as
he had ruined her character, and death would
be welcome to her had she succe eded in her
purpose.

The u. q. 1910 Loan.

Instructions to the National Banks acting
as loan agents were not issued from the
Treasury at Washington until March 26tb.
The Banks did not generally begin to receive
subscriptions until one week later, and in dis
tant parts of the country have yet hardly
begun to work, but the subscriptions report.
ed by mail to the Treasury up to April 22d,
amount to over $50, ooO, 900, and the sum
actually subscribed but not yet reported al
that date is much greater. The attempts o.
interested parties to compel the Secretary Of
the Treasury to raise the rate Of interest on
this loan have s;gnally failed. The expert
ence Of the last few weeks gives US every
reason to believe that all the money thu
Treasury desires to borrow, can be obtained
for five per cent. interest in gold.

TIE STORY ABOUT MRS. WnirE.-We have
the highest authority for the following state
ment in connection with the story that Mrs
NJ. Todd White q sister of Mrs. Lincoln
was permitted by the President to carry con-
traband goods South: Mrs. White went
South with only the ordinary pass which the
President gives to those persons whom he
permits to go. The Presidents pass did moi
exempt her baggage from the usual inspec.
ton and her baggage did undergo the usual
inspection. Gen. Butler found no ~contraband
goods or letters in her baggage. She did not

anything in her words or actions which led
him to suspect that she was either . rebel
spy or emissary, or that she was violating any

~ The Cleveland Herald recalls the fol-

Plymouth massacres are;iikely to haye:-"The
Texan revolution presented a notable instance
of the effect of no quarter The defenders
of Bexar fought till but six of their number
remained alive. These six, one of whom was
Col. Crockett, surrendered on the promise of
protection, but being taken before Santa An
ma, they were, by his order, instantly cut to
pieces. Their remains were burned in the
centre of the Alamo, by which name the fort
was called by the Mexicans. This brutality
aroused a fire in the hearts of the Texans
which resulted, at the battle of San Jacinto,
in the defeat of the Mexican army and the
capture of Santa Anna himself. And it is
recorded that at this battle the TeYans,. with
the battle cry Of Remember tie Alamo!'
carried all before them. Remember Fort Pill

Ballooning in the army has been voted a
failure, and all the aerial apparatus belonging
to the Government has been sold at auction.
Mrs. Hansen, widow of Valentine Hansen,
who was recently hung in st. Louis, was
married to a third husband, . soldier, eight
days after the hanging.
The massacre at Fort Pillow is said to have
greatly stimulated colored enlistments. In
Washington and Baltimore, servants are
leaving their positions in large numbers,
eager to avenge the death of their brethren.
Here are the outlines for a sensation 70.

The Baltimore & Ohio road has unani-
mously voted $500, 900 to assist the Marietta
& Cincinnati road in building a bridge over
the Ohio river at Parkersburg. The latter
road is to be at. one-third the expense, and
the B. & O. road two thirds. Work is to
commence forthwith. 1t is to be done under
a charter by Congress, and will be a very i'm
portant link in the communication from the

There is now a fair prospect that all SOL

sacre is said to have changed the views of the
House Military Committee, the members of
which now agree with the Ways and Means
and Senate Committee on Military Affairs,
that the wages of the soldiers, white and
black, should be SIG a month. The latter
will, however, receive no larger bounty than
$500. The new rate it is proposed to begin
on the LIST of May. .
A bride and bridegroom committed suicide
at Ottawa, Ill, last week, by poison. The
bridegroom, named David Sheahan committed
the rash act because of his marriage to a diff
ferent girl than he intended, parents having
interfered to compel the marriage. The mel
ancholy circumstance so preyed upon the
mind of the bride that she took corrosive
sublimate and died in a few hours.
Mrs Ann Nugent was arrested in Baltimore
last week for saying tina: the rebellion could
not be conquered, and hoping that the rebel
fig would soon float over that city. Miss R.
Murphy was also arrested for saying that Abe
Lincoln should be hanged. And to complete
the trio of female rebels Miss Mary E. Seq
man was arrested for cheering for JEFF. Davis,
and declaring herself = JEFF. Davis lady.
A mai employed as miller on the Buffalo

'IF MOTHER CoULD ONLY NURSE ME."-At
the Sanitary Bazaar held in Albany, N. Y,
during the past winter, We were shown a bull
let which caused the death of one of the
members of the 9th N. Y. regiment at Antie-
tam. He was wounded by a ball passing
through the upper part of both thighs,
breaking the bone of one of them. He was
also shot through the flesh of the arm, and
in his head, and in this condition was being
carried from the field when his comrades
were forced to drop him and retreat. AS he
lay on the ground, with his head towards the
enemy, this ball passed under the right collar
bone, and outside of the ribs, shout twelve
inches. The manifest injury to an artery,
rendered death certain within = few days,
but he seemed determined not to die, and he
assured the surgeon that if has mother could
only nurse him, he aoould recover. On the
18th day the artery burst, and he quickly
persisted by h~emorrhage. No mother could
have saved him, but was not his faith the
same child-like one, that sooner or later comes
to US all in seasons Of doubt, trial and emer-
gency-that If mother. were only here, we
