WAsHIHsroN, Jan. 3O.-Messrs Richard .
son and Browne Journalists, who escaped
from Salisbury prison, appeared before the
Committee on the Conduct of the War this
morning, testifyiDg that the rebel authors
ties are numbering our soldiers by cold and
hunger, while they might easily supply
them with ample food and fuel. On Nov.
2sth, many of the prisoners were without
food for 4s hours. They mention delibe.
rate cases of killing and wounding.
During the two months from the 18th of
October to 18th Of December, the deaths
were 20 per cent of the whole. When they
left at the latter date they were dying at
the rate of 10 per cent per month.
1t is stated by Prof. Henry that the par.
tal destruction of the Smithsonian build

Since the introduction of petroleum, kero.
seue lamps have been universally used by
families, and any Information regarding
their use may be considered public ben
eft. Many persons, when going to bed,
or when leaving the room for q short time,
are in the habit of turning the wick down
low, 10 order to cave triae of the con-
sumption of oil. The consequence is, that
the air of the room soon becomes vitiated
by the unconsumed oil vapors, by the gas
produced by combustion, and also by the
minute particles of smoke and SCOT which
are thrown off. Air thus poisoned is dead

R6r How TO Ayo1D THl DRATr.-We
have lately heard several original sugges.
tons a" to how to avoid the impending
draft, which we respectfully submit to the
able-bodied. One suggestion is to get
lodgedin Jail on ahealthy charge. The Pro-
vost Marshal does not want sny Jail birds.
Another suggestion is to eat camphor and
get fits. a man who has fits is not ft to
be soldier, and is not required to go uu-
less he sees fit, Eat camphor, therefore,
and avoid camp FIRE. The last and most
desperate suggestion is to pArtske each day
of about quart more whisky than you &C.
tualIy need from now until the draft com
mences. and become a confirmed sot. Il
the able. bodied population choose to re.
ward usfOr these suggestions, SOL if not, LEI
them kill the next Percy themselves.
