A SECOND AndersonyiIle.

4 correspondent of the Chicago Times,
writing from Davenport, Iowa, gives an ac-
count of visit to Camp Mcclellan, some
two miles from Davenport, in which he
says:
Within are confined what is left Of one
thousand Indians who were removed lfither
from Minnesota after the massacre Of 1862.
They are Sioux, ard were sent here origi-
nally to be hung but as the Federal Gov
eminent does great deal more hanging in
theory than in practice. they have been al
lowed to remain here until of the original
number there is left only about two hundred.
OF these, perhaps, one-third are men, and
the rest squaws and papooses. The remain.
der have died. with the exception of
few who have been sent to a reservation in
Missouri.
Here, in few words Of JUNCTION and suav-
ity, the correspondent of the Chicago Times
gives the outlines of an event more shock
ing and CHASTITY than the two years of An
dersonville Out of one thousand prisoners
who were removed to Camp Mcclellan in
1862, barely two hundred are now left alive
1t cannot be-the writer must be one Of the
correspondents Of the New York Tribune,
or the Philadelphia Enquirer, who are reg
ularly employed to fabrieate such stories
about the Southern people and, being up
in the Northwest, from necessity unavoida-
bic, "was keeping his hand in" for the
winters campaign in the South. To think,
too, that the greater portion of these poor,
red wretches are "squaws and papooses "
Ye gods if they were only the descendants
of Ham, instead of the aboriginal and right
full owners of the land where they were i'm
prisoned, what floods of oratory and edi-
torial bosh we should have pouring in upon
us from Beecher and Greeley.
Where is the Writ who officiated at
Camp Mcclellan And was it by direct
orders that these Indians were sent thither
to be hung but were reprieved to undergo a
thousand deaths in awaiting their final pun
ishment ?-N o. True Delta.

A Strange Cnse of Observation-Disclosures
Affection Dormant Eight years.

From the New Haven Journal. Nov. 81
An adopted daughter, about eight years
old, belonging TO the family Of Henry s.
Hanson, 326 State street, was few days ago
abducted by woman supposed 10 be her
mother. The circumstances are these. About
eight years ago the child, then an infant,
was found one morning in basket in the
doorsteps Of gentleman's residence in Wa
terbury, left there, it is supposed, by the mo-
ther, who took this way 10 hide the evidence
Of her dishonor The child was sent to the
poor house, then u charge Of Mr.. Hanson's
brother, who recommended him 70 adopt it,
which he did in the usual legal form. A few
days ago a woman, supposed to be the child's
mother, called upon Mr.. Hanson's wife, and
wished to take the child 10 a photograph
gallery and have picture OF her, but a. no
one could go with it then, she was refused
A vigilant search has been made for it, but
no clue Of it, whereabouts have yet been OBJ
tanned. 1t is supposed that the mother found
the child in the street and entieed il off with
her. The little child was much loved in
Mr.. Hanson's family, and its absence Is
deeply felt

II is sometimes very difficult, rs every
body has seen, 10 start a street railroad ear
when il is filed to Overlooking with passen-
gers and To remeiy that a new improvement
has been invented, which has been found will
much relieve the horses and answer the pur-
pose required for starting. Ii has been found
to operate well in other places, and Of course
it is applicable here. f s..
The apparatus consists of pinch-bar sus--
pended between the wheels OF a jaw bolt and
knuckle-jointed lever. The pinch-bar is
operated by horizontal rod or lever, which
is attached to the cleves or draft iron Of the
ear. As the horses start from a full stop tho
bar is operated and the car thrown ahead,
the strain upon the horses being about one
twentieth of that exersed without the bar.
As soon as the bar has exerted is fill power
it is drawn by a spring clear of the track,
and so remains until another stop, when it
hooks itself into connection and is again
ready for operation. The whole apparatus
is selfacting, or operates by tlenere stop

The Freedmen's Burean and Gen. How
ards Policy.
In an address delivered in jackson, Miss,
ON the 11th inst. Gen. Howard said

In an address delivered in jackson, Miss,
on the 18th inst, Gen. Howard said;
'In many places, during the war, lands
were abandoned, and the Government took
possession of them, and the colored people
were allowed to work them or to lease them.
1t was at one time thought the Government
would retain possession Of these lands and
dispose Of them, perhaps, to the 'colored peo-
pie.
"The war closed much more suddenly
than any Of us supposed 1t would, and now
Congress and the President Of the United
States have decided that it is their policy to
be very leIrient with the Southern States.
And now, when a man comes 10 me and
shows that land held by this bureau belong
ed to him. and that he has taken the oath,
or does not come underany Of the exceptions,
or has been pardoned, at nnce restore his
land to him. There is yet in possession OF
the Government some houses, in towns, and
some lands, sometimes held because the citi-
zens to whom they formerly belonged have
not conformed to the requirements Of the
Government. The impression prevails among
many Of the eolored people that the Govern
ment means to give this land to them, which
is very wrong and injurious impression.

ment is weak, it is because Of corruption.
Its strength is IN its truth and It's right.

tied Island.
From the New York Heraldl
The following statement Of terrible suffer-
ings, EXPOSURE and hardships endured at
sea on an uninhabited island is made by
Captain Robert Witty, Of the schooner
Joel q. Sweet. Captain Witty is well
known in this city as skilfful navigator and
a thorough seaman, and il will be gratifying
70 his numerous friends TO learn Of his safety.
The schooner Joel c. Sweet left Charles
ton on the 18th of October for Apalachicola,
under the command Of Captain Charles
Marks, Captain Witty being employed to
navigate the vessel TO her port of destina-
ton. Nothing occurred worthy Of note out
side Of the ordinary routine of seafaring life
until the 2ist of October, when they were
overtaken by the hurricane which, il will be
remembered, was one of the most terrific
and disastrous that ever visited our coast.
The gale continued to increase in force and
violence until the 23d, when the few remain
ing sails upon the vessel were blown away,
with the exception Of the mainsale, which
was badly torn. About noon on that day
they sighted the land a little TO the north Of
Jupiter Inlet, but shortly afterwards lost
sight of it, All through the night the gale
continued to increase in force, with the sea
running mountains high, and the weather
thick and rainy.
Early the next afternoon observed the
breakers TO ieeward, tried to keep OF, but
could not. At this time they were few
miles to the north Of Cape Canayeral. A
heavy sea came rolling over them, and swept
Captain Marks and Captain Witty over
board, and at the same time the mainmast
was carried away. Captain Marks chung TO
the mast and was hauled on board. but the
sail that was attached to the mast, when It
was carried away, fell over Captain Witty
and kept him beneath the waves. He In
stinctiyely fell for his katie to cut place In
the sail, so that he might come to the surface
and breathe; hut his knife was lost, and all
the horrors Of a death by drowning we're
suffered by him during the time that he re
NAMED under the water. After he had
swallowed a great deal Of salt water, and
just as he was On the point OF giving up all
hope Of extricating himself from his periious
position, the mast and sail were lifted from

From the New York Evening Post.1
The gradual diminhtion Of the "sater-
fall, " which began several months ago, was
thought by some persons TO indicate that
that curious so-called ornament Of the head
wonld be Immediately expelled from FASH
ionable society. But there are still many
advocates Of the waterfall, and tie strong
argument advanced in it, defens, is, that
the form Of the winter bonnet requires the
dressing Of the hair after the waterfall plan,
in some Of its notifications; and "A less ef-
fectiye and more comprehensive statement
is, that the neck would be much exposed il
the fashion we're abolished.
There are several other acceptable styles
Of dressing the hair, some Of them Of ex-
celleEt design; persons Of the most varied
tastea may be suited in all save one respect
the extravagaat use Of false hair IL not
diminished.
THE COST or HAIR.
False hair, which is recognized a. indis-
pensable-very few ladies having Sufficient
Of their own TO dress the head 10 the pre-
vailing styles an expensive Injury. A
small switch, to twist in withthe back hair
te form a coil, costs from Sl5 to $50; and
the curls worn over the waterfall cost usual
~ not less than S25; while sometimes a
much higher price j. charged. The rates
vary, not 70 mucb-on accOunt Of the qnan-
tity or color Of che hair, "A is length. Long
hair always commands high price, and Of
ten this hair of the finer qualities has val

same chemical processes az are EMPLOYED
with other hair. Ii has lost IL vitality, and
the hair merchant and hair-workers can
easily detect it.
STYLE or WEARING THE HAIR
Waterfalls, notwithstanding the repeated
assertion that they were going on" have
not yet been discarded. The huge plain
bundle Of the summer Is no longer worn.
The waterfalls Of this winter are smaller,
and Of mere graceful form. Some are made
wholly out OF plain rolls
a tasteful mode Of arranging the hair
now 20 some extent adopted, Is by piacing
oyer 4 small, plain waterfall, fall Of eS:rls
surSnounted by n roll, the frort hair being
dressed In curls or turned back in a single
roll. Sometimes the front hair Is all turned
back, and il surmounied BY heavy braid.
This lat style Is not well adapted 10 any but
delicate and regular features.
The short Aspasia eurls, friszcs and braids
for the forehead are just pow fashionable.
