ed Out.

New YORK, Aug. 1S-The Tribune's
Washington special says: The existence of
considerable dissatisfaction among troops
in the Department of Virginia in regard to
their retention in service, has rem
dered an order from General Terry on the
subject necessary. The men argue that they
enlisted only for the war, and now that it
is virtually ended. they are justly entitled
to- their discharge from service. General
Terry defines the term 'during the war;
as being while necessity for military force
created by the present rebellion shall con-
tinue to exist, and that necessity will con-
tinue until the States recently in rebellion
have returned to their former relations to
the National Government. While General
Terry appeals to the troops of his command
not to sully their great and well known
reputation by misconduct, he also reminds
them of tbe existence of military law, and
gives them to understand that crimes of
desertion and insubordnation will be as
severely punished as if the troops were
still engaged in active campaign.

QCt(t9rap9lt,
Camp Ford, Texas, a Second An
dersOnYilIe. r

NEW YORK, August 18.-The Tribune's
Tyler, Texas, correspondence describes Camp
Ford, near that place, as prison pen sec
ond only to Andersonville, in the barbar-
ism and atrocities inflicted upon Union
prisoners for two years. The correspondent
says that, scourged, beaten and frozen, these
prisoners were too far off and too closely
guarded for their groans to be heard by
those in the outside world. Their sad story
only became known from their own lips
after they had been exchanged. 1t is
stockaded inclosure of Judge, eight or ten
acres. This estimate includes all adjuncts
of the prison. 1t is situated on the side of
a sandy slope, at the lower edge of which
and just within the stockade, is a spring
that supplied water to the prisoners. The
inclosure, which seems to have been en-
larged at different times to meet the re-
quirements of rebel captures, is filled with
huts and shanties of almost every imagina-
BILE shape, and constructed of every availa-
Bile material. Two barrels, one on top of
the other, form the chimney of hut made
of bushes, the limbs of which have been
pressed together and plastered with
mud. Near the point at which we en-
tered there is q number of grave-like
mounds scattered in a place of about one
acre. l at once thought they were graves,
but on examining l found that they were
excavations in the ground, which had
been covered first with bushes and then
with dirt. They had been made by those
of our men who had been captured last and
for whom there was no room in the huts
above ground. Everywhere are blackened
spots which show where fires had formerly
been, by which those who had shelter at all
cooked their daily mite of meat. Fragments
of kettles and stoves, old cast of pans and
fiat rocks, the cooking utensils which they
had used, are strewn about, as Noticed in
one of the huts piled up with care to await
further use. Toward the upper side of the
inclosure where there seems to have been a
prison for the confinement of offenders, are
several stumps, on the tops of which those
who violated any of the prison rules were
made to stand and mark time for perhaps a
whole day, while the guard had imperative
orders to shoot any one that stopped or fell
off from exhaustion. The whole scene,
with its associations, is horrid illustration
of the inhumanity that originated and car
ried on the rebellion until its overthrow.
Perhaps am raking hurtful coal from
dead ashes. / will stop.

Operations of the Pirate Shenan-
HnnIn

SAN Francisco, July 2l.-The latest ac-
counts from the Shenandoah are to the af-
ternoon of the 23d of June, when she was
near Cape Baddeques, steering northwest
toward where a fleet of whalers were
known to be previously. Capt. Nye had
left the bark Milo during the day in a small
boat, for the purpose of warning the fleet
of danger. The Milo also spoke French
whaler, which Immediately steered toward
the fleet, but having considerable start of
the Shenandoah. n RI ...t = tt
While the Shenandoah was at Ascension
Island, in April, she burned the New Lon
don bark Pearl, the New Bedford ship
Young Hector, beside San Francisco and
Hiawayan whaler. She next burned the
New Bedford bark Abigail, in Acholsk sea,
then several New Bedford whalers, as re-
ported yesterday, in Onnaida sea, where
shearrived June Goth. = ~ re4
1t was feared unless the French ships and
an open wheel boat could succeed in warn
ing the fleet, all would he captured, as the
Shenandoah knew exactly where to find
them. They were hovering among the
southern edge ice fields, drawing closer to-
gether as the ice drifted towards Behring's
Straits, through which they were seeking
passage to the Arctic seas.

Statement of Geniyeye Brown.

New YORK, Aug. 1S.-The girl Geniveve
Brown, alias Lyons, made a statement in
court this morning. which the Judge, at its
conclusion, said he felt in his heart Was true
and that she ought to be set at liberty
Concerning her connection with jenkins,
she stated that she met Jenkins first in a
concert-saloon, to which she was obliged
to 60 for employment; that her employer
told her to pay particular attention to him,
that he would give her much money; that
she did as she was told, and jenkins did
give her much money; that he gave her
500 to buy watch, but she sent it to pay
her brothers schooling. Jenkins told her
he was rich and owned oil wells. He gave
her $500 to furnish rooms, and he came to
see her frequently. She thought she had
received from him nearly $4,000. The case
is still Oh trial.

Further About the Ketchum For
gerry.


New YORK, Aug. 1S.-The Times saws:
The effect upon Ketchum, Son & Co., as de-
veloped yeste1ay, is disastrous. What it
will be eventually, when the storm of ex-
citement has passed, is another question:
Thus far the case sums up thus: First, they
have lost in stolen sureties between $2000,-
600 and $3,OO0,000; second, they have sus-
pended payment and all operations; third,
they have assigned their property to z. G.
Calhoun, President of the 10th National
Bank, and E. Bement, former partner of
Morris Ketchum, Jr, for the benefit of cred
itors; fourth, the balances due customers,
mainly New England Banks, amount to the
tremendous sum of $3,500,000; fifth, they
have published a remarkable card, in which
they have given the public an idea of their
business, which differs materially from the
idea previously entertained.
1t has been truthfully stated that Charles
Graham & Co. paid on presentation $780,
600 of the forged gold checks on Monday,
and that Edward Ketchum paid them on
that morning $250OO0 to do it with The
public viewed this transaction with some
distrust, and we deem it due the honor of
MIR. Graham to record facts as drawn from
him in conversation yesterday afternoon
at o'clock in Wall street.
Times-Mr. Graham, you paid $2S5, ZOO
of these forged checks on Monday. We
know that Edward Ketchum drew check
for $500 600 before he went off. Did he give
you the money to pay those checks with?
Mr.. Graham-He gave me no money,
but, as was his constant custom, he gave me
check with which to meet his obligations.
The check was for $2500O0. l deposited it
and drew againstit; but what do you think
is the result? Morris X. refuses to honor
the check, i find it thrown out by his bank,
returned to my bank, and am notified of
the over-drawing of my account to that
amount. 1t is most extraordinary and
cruel business. The check was drawn by
Morris Ketchum, Son & Co., before they
reopened; was received by me in good
faith, deposited in bank, drawn against and
passed to the bank where Ketchum, Son &
Co. deal. Itseems rather hard that should
have to suffer to this extent, in addition to
what have already borne.

The Times Jackson, Miss, special says
The effects of an earthquake were sensibly
felt about o'clock the morning of the 18th
at Memphis, Lagrange, Holly Springs,
Oxford and Grenada. At Memphis the
shock was severe enough to cause people
to run out of their houses.
In the Convention the Constitutional
committee reported that such change can
be made in the Constitution hereafter as
will prevent slavery or involuntary servi-
tude, except upon legal authority for crime;
striking out all portions of the old Consti-
tuition relating to slavery. An ordinance
was also presented providing for the cleo
tion of congressman, Governor, Legisla-
ture and other State officers, on the first
Monday in October, to serve two years.
Judicial and ministerial officers are to hold
office for the remainder of the uneXpired
terms.
A second committee presented an Or
dinance ratifying all acts of officers of the
State not made to aid in the recent war and
not inconsistent with the Constitutions OF
the United States, or of Mississippi. Both
reports will be adopted.
