WIRz AssAILgD BY AN ONO MAT
RoN.-Yesterday, as Wirz was on his
way from the Court room to the Old
Capitol, a respectfully dressed lady,
between fifty and sixty years old,
who had been waiting for the oppor-
tunity, asked the guard if that was
the AndersonviIle. On receiving an
affirmative answer, she, in frenzy
of passion, endeavored to strike him
with an umbrella, saying "fou
wretchl you butcher! you murdered
nv son at Andersonville!" Failing
to reach him she seized brick, and
implored the guard to let her at him.
She was with some difficulty re.
strained and the prisoner conveyed
to his quarters. 1t seems that the
old lady was an Ohio woman, who
had come here TO get back pay for
her SONS, all of whom had belonged
to the army. One was killed in bat
tie, one murdered at Andersonyille,
another rendered hopelessly Insane
by his suffcrings in the same slatgh-
ter pen, ard one only returned home
at ths close Of the war. lNA

CAPITOL HILL BARRACKS,
WASHINGTON, D. c. Sept, 26)
MR. EDITOR:
We are here within two
squares of the Capital of the nation,
doing guard duty for the city, and it
seems.we are likely to stay the bal
ance of our year. I enjoy myself
pretty well, / attend the Writ trial
every day, and ifI have time 1 would
like to send you few notes in the
case. We are not only trying Henry
Writ, but the South is upon trial;
and the Government has taken the
bold stand that ever particle of evil
dence that goes to show the barbara
ty of the South to our soldiers, wheth-
er emanating from Writ or not,
must come out. The defense see
this and have many objections and
nice points are raised, that is not re-
ported. During the trial, at the re-
cital by some poor emaciated wit
ness l have seen almost the entire
audience in tears. / saw an cid lady
from Maryland who came over forty
miles to see the murderer Of her son.
She stood and viewed him for few
moments and then burst into a flood
of tears, wringing her hands and de-
nouncing him as a murderer. She
was conveyed from the courtroom
amid the deep mutterlng OF an in
dignant people. The prisoner has
to be guarded by a guard of one hun
dred men, from the prison to the
courtroom, to prevent the victims
of his malice from assassinating him.
He looks pale and haggard, and 1
think il the Government does not
hang him for a month or two he will
become crazed or kill himself. -

lheI 4tn heSolutlon OF lne
Bourbon Vallandigham Convention,
which met at Columbus to nominate
a State ticket reads as follows;
4th. ResoIOed, That the Democracy Of Ohio
will maintain and defend, as they have always
heretofore done, as essential TO the existence
of our federal system of government, the trde
doctrine Of State rights, not notification, nor
accession, bat the theory of that system as
laid down in the Virginia and Kentucky res
olutions of 1898, 40 interpreted by their au-
thors, the one by Madison in his report in
1893, and the other by Jefferson in his sol
emn official inaugural of 1901.
|. Now it is G remarkable fact that
no Democratic paper in the State of
Ohio, of which we can obtain any
knowledge, has thus far laid before
the public those Virginia resolutions
of 1898, on which they base their
creed. 1t would be a safe conclu-
sion TO come to, that not ten Demo
Gratis in Gallia county ever read them
Tor know their meaning this day. Not
one in fifty of the Confederate De
mocracy of this county have any
more knowledge of those resolutions,
than they have of the Koran. In

~ We ask the attention of the
members Of the Methodist Church in
Gal,ia county, to the following Cop
perhead howl from the New York
News Democratic paper of the first
water, which we lately saw adver-
ised in the New Orleans Della, as
having always been in favor ofthe
South. The Gallipolis Dispatch for
two years past has copied largely
from this ''New York NeOs" and to
day considers it as one of the most
conservative and pure sheets of the
day. We would like every member
of that church to read this, and then
see if they can vote for ]. L. Vance
and the balance of the Copperhead
ticket in this county. Remember
that this is written and published in
an orthodox Democratic paper, which
is fully endorsed by the Gallipolis
Dispatch.
Take the Methodist Church in our
midst as an illustration of this cor
ruption of Christianity. That church
is pre- eminently responsible for the
recent war, with its ruin and desola-
ton. It's hands are imbued with
blood; its banner is bespattered with
blood; its very bible is defaced with
blood; its gospel has been an anath-
ema of blood; its hosannas have
been thanksgivings ior blood, and
that not the sanctifying blood OF
Christ, but the blood of Northern and
Southern men slain in fratricidal con-
hiet Even yet it thirsts for blood

vengeance. It pronoanees whatever
tends to free the slave and enslsve
his master, good, proper, glorious;
whatever tends to hinder the same,
bad, outrageous, objectionable. One
might justly infer from the ceaseless

OF GEN. SHERMAN.

SlSSIPPI RAIL. ROAD--TWO
CARS THROWN FROM THE
RACK-NARROW ESCAPE
OF GEN. SHERMAN.
The train on the Ohio & Missis-
sippi Railroad which left st. Louis at
$40 P. NJ Tuesday, met with an ac-
cident which came near proving Sc
rious twelve miles east of Vincennes,
about IL o'clock the same night We
learn from passengers that soon af-
ter leaving East st. Louis o freight
train on the track was encountered,
which caused some delay. In trying
to make up lost time, the train was
run faster than the schedule provl-
ded, and owing to the roughness Of
the road, passengers experienced an
uncomfortable ride. When twelve
miles this side of Vincennes, the two
sleeping cars jumped from the track
and rolled over, mixing up things
generally, and bruising most ofthe
occupants, but fortunately killing no
one. The forward cars remained on
the track. Gen. Sherman was pass
enger in one of the overturned cars,
but was not injured. Having dragged
himself out, he was seen "making
| for the 'front.'" which point he
reached, and taking a seat in anoth-
er car, be succeeded in reaching
Lawrenceburg, about three hours be-
hind time. $40,
This accident to Gen. Sherman oc-
Cured near about the same time
that the special tram conveying Lieut..
Gen. Grant from Indianapolis was
thrown from the track.
