The Sultana Horror.

From one Of the survivors Of the Sui.
tana disaster, we learn additional facts
in relation to that frightful tragedy. OF
the soldiers on board, the principal mum.
Der was made up as follows; Eighteenth
Michigan, 270; Sd Tennessee cavalry,
$50; 9th Indiana cavalry, 1871; 65th
Ohio, IS; l02d Ohio, 207; 1O5th Ohio,
100; 1l5th Ohio, 125. The remainder
we're scattered among several regiments
and States They were the last of the
parole camp at Visksburg.
The steamer was in bad order, her boilers
leaky and patched, and accommodations
not extensive. The first troops marched
on board were $50 Ohio soldiers, and 7C
from West Virginia. These filed the
boat comfortably full, and the officers o.
the boat said they had enough on board
but the Post Quarter Master said tha
every one Of The cropd should go, ant
nearly thousand more were accordingl,
put on. We regret that we do not pos
sess the name OF that Quartermaster.-
There should be hemp twisted for hi
neck If the facts are as stated.
After the boat was loaded, about on
hundred sick were taken of, as there wa
no place for them to lie down, Ther
was not enough room for the soldiers a
lie at full length. They crowded 10
cramped condition, 10 every part Of th
steamer, like negroes in the hold Of III
slave ship. The fuel Of the steamer w
wood, but at night little coal was use
to prevent the sparks burning the mel
as they slept on the hurricane deck.

to the probabilities of failure or success
Fourteen hundred miles of the cable have
been coiled away In the, tanks Of the
Great Eastern, and o thousand miles
more are yet to be placed there, SO that
it will probably take most Of tho months
Of May and June to complete the work,

The Southern People.

The Louisville Journal thus speaks Of
the character Of the Southern people, and
as to the way in which they can be the
most readily paci6ed:
The Bouthern people, like other peo'
pie, have their excellences and their de-
fects. They are excitable, brave, and
generous. No people in the world are
more open to the power Of kindness or
can be Influenced more strongly by an
exhibition Of it. A large majority Of
them hated the whole scheme Of an in-
dependent Government, and they have
only to be dealt with in . magnanimOus
spirit to wheel into line with oil the en-
thusiasm Of their warm and impulsive
natures as true, jealous, and loyal citi
zens Of the United States. ..
II, however, in an evil moment. q diff
ferent theory is adopted; if tauntiug

Military Commissiona ar0now general
ly recognized as the most potent and I'M
portant judicial organization left in, this
country. Their mode Of procedarejs SO
well known that the report of one
court martial is q photograph Of t 'sm all.
The "Judge Advocate" rules out all inn
portant evidence for the accused aud
brings in whatever he pleases for his side.
This important officer makes speeches ev-
cry FIVE minutes upon almost any topic,
talks jocosely with he judges and is very
apt to condemn witness, whose testimo-
ny is not satisfactory, to the gusrd house
or nearest prison. When the necessary
formulas are disposed Of in the court, the
judges make their decision with closed
doors, the Judge Advocate General re-
vises it to suit himself, the job is forward
ed to the War Department for approval,
and the first thing the aceuzed learns Of
his fate is an order Of Punishment, i'm
prisonment or death. So popular have
these sublime tribunes Of justice become
with the administration that serious no.
tions are entertained Of introducing them
as substitute for Police, Probate, Com.
mon Pleas and all other State and county
courts. The war being oyer, it is thought
they would be useful in propogatiug and
enforcing loyalty. The trial Of B. G.
Harris for the enormous offensc Of giving
two rebels dollar each to get rid Of their
company, is happy illustration Of the
workings of the Military Commission. u
What his fate will be no human being
can guess from the proceedings Of the
court.

ing tried by military commission. The

RecOnstructiOn.

President johnson, in pursuing the
line of policy which he marked out, is in
a way to render obsolete the word placed
at tho head of this article. He has SOL
emnly and most emphatically declared,
that emo State is out Of the Union," and
with equal solemnity, that " no human
power can take state out Of the Union"
This of course means that no State can
20 out O. the Union under the forms and
sanctions Of the Cons tuition
This at once disposes Of the right to
sccede, as claimed by the Southern States,
and at the same time gives a final and
fatal blow to the idea cherished in certain
quarters that those states are 10 be regar.
ded and treated as subjusated provinces,
or at the best to be forced back into the
condition of territories, to be admitted
into the Union on such terms as the ma
jority Of the Northern States may dictate.
According to the theory Of the President,
the insurrection, or the rebellion, or what
ever else people may call it, having been
brought to an end, nothing remains to
be done but simply to restore the authori-
ty Of the Federal Government whenever
its constitutional functions have been
suspended, and brotect the people in all
the States 10 the full enjoyment of their
righu. And there is no longer any room
for controversy about the re.admission
of States with their rights unimpaired;"
for, being already in the Union, and
never out Of it, all they have to do is to
repent of all their manifold follies, and
seek for redress of oil their real and
fancied grievances, In "the Union as it
was under the Constitution as it is".
This line Of policy, as distinctly irdica-
ted by the words Of the President, and
thus far adhered to by him and his
constitutional advisers, must necessarily
greatly simplify, and render easy Of ac'
COmplishment, the great work Of recon
ciliation.
If brawling fanatics, and knavish dem
agogues can now be frowned into silence
the administration, if consistent, vii
soon settle all existing difficulties, ant
bring into harmony all parts Of the stu
pendous whole Of our nationality, so tha
there shall be no North, no 'outh, nC
East, no West-and so that, when no olong
er disturbed by foreign interference, WI
shall be left free to pursue our trium
phant course to prosperity, greatness, anc
abundant happiness. ss.--Pain Dealer.

Editors Union In reply to many
letters and inquiries from people in this
section of the country, the undersigned
take great pleasure in saying through the
columns Of your paper, that our rcnown-
ed preparation known as GOES DYE
PEPSIACURE, is o certain cure for
Dyspepsia, in its worst stages. Many
cures Of long standing, withing our own
acquaintance, have been completely, and
we believe permanently cured. 1T will
stop distress after eating almost instanta-
noously, and enables the dyspeptic who
6as lived for years upon Graham bread
and the plainest diet, to eat as heartily
as he pleases, and anything he chooses,
withoat danger Of distress, or souring, or
rising on the stomach. It is an infalli-
Bile corrector of indigestion and constipa-
ton, creates a healthy appetite, stops
sick headache, heart burn, sickness OF
the stomach, pains, cramps, or collie IN
either stomach or bowels, and sweetens
offensive breath, as soon as you take Il,
and by enabling the patient to take plen.
ty Of hearty food, (which is the parent Of
health" produces visor, strength and e9.

has speedily eradioated Dyspepsia with
all its attendant suferings, weaknesses,
debility, and loss Of power, giving instead
a proper actixitE and tone to the stem'
ache and 4 6f digestion, and as we
confidently 61|leve, and the published
certificates in our circulars, almanacs, and
in many Of the leading journals, from
convalescent patients will confirm, COM

says the execution was witnessed by

was asked il lie had anything to say. He
replied, "Nothing, except that l am ac-
cused unjustly. I never took mans
life. ] never have been . guerrilla or 0

All the world has watched thy coming.
Through the wood and through the glen,
When thou passed old Winters den
By thy happy brow and singing.

Summer comes thou oanst net stay,
