ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE FUEL QUESTION.
Farmers bring to market, perhaps dis
lance OF fifteen orstwenty miles, forty bushels
Of CORR, for which they receive $500. They
return with forty bushels of coal, for which
they pay $500. Now are informed by d
gentleman well posted upon the subject, that
a bushel of corn will produce as much heat as
& bushei of coal. Would it not pay the far
mer to burn his corn rather than bring 1t TO
market to be sold at 20 cents bushel? The
crop 10 very large this year, and far above
the demand for home use; there is certainly
no wrong in converting the superabundance
Of even this "staf of lite' to the useful pur-
poses of fuel. The editor of one of our ex-
changes has had u conversation with far
mer who having tried the experiment, says
that corn in the ear gives considerable more
heat than the same bulk of wood. Ears Of
corn can be bought for ten cents per bushel
by..measure, and seventy bushels, worth seven
dollars, will measure a cord. cord of wood
Including saving costs $3.50, which is 81, so
more than the cost of cord of corr, besides
the fact that the corn produces more heat
than the wood.
The Muscetine Journal says that d mill IN
that town is, and has been for some time,
using this kind of fuel, and it is found to
be superior and cheaper than any other
kind.
The matter is certainly worth testing and

Snr-1ur Of our I.risOners.

A few weeks ago we received from Washington
under the frank ex-senator wilson Of Mass,
a phamplet of some 40 closely printed pages,
containing evidence collected by the L. 8.
Sanitary commission rs to the suffering of
federal soldiers confined IN southern prisons.
We have also been Pile! with statements from
numerous escaped prisoners and others, all
bearing the same point All together
make out. urdoubtcdiv.a clear enough case
asains. the souti. touching the matter IL hand.
Oar prisoners have suffered all. and III Fund
reds of cases more, than human nature can
endure. We Gnd no terms sufficiently
strong to execrAte the monstrous cru!ty, and
the fiends who ordered or allowed it, visited on
our soldiers in southern prisons. 1t is due,
however, to the relatives and friends in the
north, of our suffering soldiers, that they
should understand that the sonth are not
alone guilty in this matter. The business
of stopping the exchange Of prisoners
originated with our own government, and the
reason hitherto given the public for ito
wit, became the rebels refused to exchange
| negroes for white men,-was sham On
this head we have the evidence of Gen. But.
Ter, the agent to whose hands the whole
question was ostensibly committed. In his
| recent speech at Lowell Gen. B. said:
In Augest last Mr. Guilds finding negotia'
tons were broken off. and that no exchanges
were made, wrote to Gen. Hancock, the
! hatt tx aIal lie
were ready to exchange, man for man, all the
prisoners held by them, as | had proposed IN
| December Under the instructions of tie
I.ient. General, | wrote to Mr.. Ould a letter
which has been published, saying: ado you
mean to give up all your actions, and revoke
all YOU. laws about black men employed as
soldiers ~ These questions were therein
argued Justly, as l think not automatically
! hui obtrusivelv and demonstratlvely, not tor
the purpose of further exchange OF prisoners,
but for the purpose of preventing and stop
ping the exchange.
| The question about negroes, Mr.. Is. thus
| intimates, was raised by him under instruc.
tons from Washington, not to further, but to
stop the exchange Of prisoners. 1t was new
err intended in good faith-it was a mere pre-,
text.
What TIE real motive of stopping the ex-
| change was, Gen. Butler reveals further along
where he says, it was believed at Washington
that, by retaining all the southern prisoners
taken, the south could be ultimately e1haut.
ed of men, while, though all the northern
men taken and kept south nigh; die and rot
in prison, the north could not thus be exhaut
ed. If any conception more dustar ly and
| Infamous than this ever entered the mind Of
man. we have failed to find the example in
history. Is it a wonder that the south, IN
derstanding the motive for stopping the e1
change, should treat our prisoners with cruel
ty compel its resumption?

ParSOn Perkins.

We are pained-sorely-" profoundly
pained-that the title squib We let off two
weeks ago at Parson Perkins, should have
been taken by him so seriously and caused
him SO much irritation. Cons idering his
venerable age, We should never have written
line of that squib, had We ioreseen its Ct
feet. The Parson intormes us that in his
younger days he had experience in the
manufacture of clothing that is, was .
tailor, until he was, say 20 years of age.
Then he told US a short time ago, that for So
years he was a lawyer and again he tells US
he has been so years in the ministry. Adding
these several sums together, We find his age,
by his own statement, to be about IS years.
We must bear and fOrbear much with so ripe
an octogenarian. As to the challenge he
sends us, to meet him before any Precep-
tor of a grammar school and be examined on
the science Of grammer and rhetoric" we
back out incontinently. We have not looked
at grammer in % years, and never studied
rhetoric in one life. The.old Scotch brick
layer, to whom We went TO scko DOL in our boy.
hood, us ed to advise us to stick to our mathe-
mates. at is muckle better to ken sense
than grammar; he used to say, and rhetoric
he maintained was invented to conceal lack
Of understanding. 1t would be unkind to
Instance the Parson as an illustration of the
old bricklayer's philoso ply.
We are not conscious of ever having at
tackled any of the "private" members of the
Parsons family. We did, it is true, give the
boy Eddy once or so little advice, but surely
before We did so he had made quite too bold
public exhibition of himself to claim ex-
emption on the score of privacy.
We agree, however, cordially to the truce
the parson proposes that henceforth neither.
shall sncer at the others 'person or religious
profession As touching the latter, it would
be the veriest presumption to challenge a
comparison with pious gospel minister of
80 years standing, who carries " in his peck
ct" such indubitable testimonials to his
"blameless life"-for really we have moth.
ing to boast Of in that way. And as to
personal comeliness, We may be permitted
respectfully to suggest, that, for either of us,
the less SAID on that subject the better.

Mrs Judge Morris, Of Chicago, who was on
trial before the military commission at Gin
cinati with her husband, for being concerned
in the conspiracy to burn Chicago last tall,
has made a confession, substance OF which IS
that she gave money and clothing to sundry
rebel prisons rs that had escaped from barracks
at Chicago. She declared, however, that her
husband had no connection with or knowl-
odge of the matter. She has been released
from custody, and ordered to 60 to Kentucky
and remain, during the continuance OF the
war, on her fathers farm near Lexington.
As there seems to be no remaining charge

to pay the last installmcnt now due for TWEEN
ty-iive acres of land adjoining the city known

have erected valuable buildings and perma-
nent Improvements.
The Society resolved unanimously to issue
300 certificates oflife membership, to be sold
at $40 each, constituting the holder life

c,ety free OF charge, and also to the free ex.
hlbition of all articles Of his raising or manu-
| facture.
AS only life members are eligible to Office,
the entire management and control of the at
