these last few years, to wit :
/. That the Union must and shall be
preserved, il the people will allow it to
be preserved by the Democratic party
otherwise, otherwise.
2. That the war is for the Union
hurrah for the war for the Union under
Mcclellan, and no other man.
3. That the war for the Union was a
failure.

success, and their votes are as good as
anybody's.
5. That the Union soldiers having
failed, ahould not be reinforced, or voted
supplies, or allowed to vote in the army.
6. That without draft there is no

for its warmth to shield them from the
frost.
Groups of men could be seen lowered
around and over green pine wood fires,
with their faces and persons so blacken-
ed with the SCOT Of the pine wood smoke
that they appeared like negroes. Other
men could be seen engaged in carving
the dead bodies from the straw pallets of
The den, stacking them I'D at the en-.
trance, to be carried away for interment
without collins, or friends or comrades to
follow the corpse to its resting place.
Inhuman wretches were there. clad in
gray, with muskets, overlooking these sad
and solemn movements of the dead, and
should one of the prisoners engaged in
moving the dead fall under the weight
imposed upon him, the wretches in gray
would prick them with their bayonets
and curse them for neglect of duty. And
not unfrequently the bodies of soldiers
were carried away for interment before
life was extinct
Other bodies were carried past with
wisps of straw in either hand, grasped in
the last aconies OF DEATH"
Mrs. Warren rebuked Wirz for his
inhumanity, when he threatened her life,
and she Immediately left the place by ad-
vice of her friends. About the 10Th Of
December the prisoners of Andersonvile
were moved to Albany in consequence of
an expected advance of the Federal
cavalry. OF their treatment here Mrs.
Warren states:
"At this place the prisoners were camp
ed in an open field, grown up with sedge
grass without tents or blankets, and with
scarcely sufficient clothing to cover their
nakedness. Ga account of the severe
cold, the prisoners dog holes in the
ground and buried themselves as best
they could, to shield themselves from the
inclement weather. The prisoners re-
NAMED at this place three weeks, with
barely sufficient food to sustain life, 10
conse quence of which many of them be.
came so weak and faint that they could
moi walk.
At the close Of the time stated above
the prisoners were ordered to return to
Andersonvile. Those that could not
march did not fall in when so ordered,
but remained in the camp in their holes,
covered with grass (Which had been
found in the field, and was gathered by
hand and thrown upon the loose rails
over the holes in the ground, forming
covering that shielded them from the
frosts of winter) to be burned alive, as
Wlrz ordered the camp TO be fred, and
many poor, sick, faint prisoner was
burned to death on the spot, and many
died after in consequence of their inju-
ries"

John johnson Tries a Little Salt,

That veteran agriculturist, johnson,
writes 10 the Genesee Farmer under date
OF June 9Th:
81 did last year what / never did be-
fore : that was blowing up wheat stubble
and sowing again with wheat. 1t is a
respectable looking crop now, but if you
saw the half of the field that | sowed
salt on, say full barrel to the acre |
am almost sure you would order forty or
fifty barrels of second quality salt to SOW
in September or October. T salt
wheat stands much thicker on the ground,
is considerably taller, came in four days
before the other, and altogether looks
richer every way and as | bad not salt
enough TO sow the whole field, sowed
the half that has hitherto brought the
wors:. crop and latest in ripenng. Now
it is much the best. | can stand in the
middle and look forty rods each way and
see distinctly how far the salt came, or I
can walk or ride down the side of the
field where not sailed, land see the line
as plainly as if on the one side was corn
and the other wheat. If this won't make
men experiment with salt don't know
what will.
"My great crop :his season is winter
barley. 1t is my first crop of that kind
and if it don't get laid it is as good as
man could wish to see. 1t is now begin
ming to grow yellow for the harvest
1t was sown, think, on the 1lth and
18th of September, the ground thorough
ly summer fallowed, rolled after the drill
and full one barrel of salt sown to the
acre. | never saw such a crop. My
neighbor, Mr.. Noyes, has also a very fine
crop, but have never been TO it still if
we should have very heavy showers,
mine might be greatly damaged, as it is
both too thick and too tall. ! think it
stands about four and half feet high
| sowed two bushels to the acre, but
am sure one and half would have been
enough. We need rain here very much
for spring crops. There was heavy rain
and hail some three miles from here yes
terday. If you lack faith in salt, want
you to try one barrel on an acre of wheat
on dry land. If it don't pay, charge the
cost of the salt to me-"

thus sums up the business in that State,
where the blacks are a decided majority
Of the entire population, while the whites
own all the property:
"The amount of rations issued to whites
is about the same as issued to freedmen.
Not less than 500 people are cutting wood
for steamers on the Mississippi River,
and more people are engaged in this
business than ever but they support
The total number of free
men in the State is estimated at $780,
600, of whom only 5000 are receiving
