remember story Of good old anti
burgher minister. It was in the days
when dancing was held to be great
sin, and to be dealt with by the Session.
Jessie, comedy and good and blithe
young woman, great favorite with the
minister, had been guilty of dancing al
friends wedding. She was summoned
before the Session to be dealt with--the
grim lod fellows ~sternly concentrating
their eyes upon her, as she stood tremb.

pretty bare feet. The doctor, who was
one Of the divinity. and great thinker,
greatly plying her, said, "Jessie, my

Grated in religion, to humanity, to lib

at The same time one of her most un-

I Respecting the relics Of porcelain ware found in
the late exhumations at Herculaneum, which have
been forwarded to the Society of Antiquities in
London whereof your correspondent Gays the bottle
resembling brakes Plantation btters was undoubt-
cdly pla,ed among the ruins by the agent of Dr..
Drake, We desire to state that he is incorrect in
every respect. If bottle was found there bearing
our lettering, the language Of the Ancient Romans
was different from the accepted literature of thai
day. Our Agent has othor business than this il

Americans carry Plantation Bitters to Rome; bu
trying to impose upon society Of Antiquarians il

ton as well corn Is extensively raised. It Is
said to be the most unhealthy part of Geor-
| gia, and was probably selecJed as a depot
| for prisoners on account of this fact. AT
| midday the thermometerin the shade reach
es frequently ITO degrees, and in tile sun the
heat Is almost unbearable. The Inhabitants
of this sparsely settled locality are, with
few exceptions, of the most ignorant class,
and upon their haggard and sallow faces,
the effects of chills and fever are distinctly
visible. The noted prison pen is 1,5i0 feet
longand $50 wide, and contains twenty-sev-
en- acres. The dead line is seventeen feet
from the stockade, and sentry boxes are
thirty yards apart. The inside stockade is
eighteen feet high, the outer one twelve
feet high, and the distance between the two
is one hundred and twenty feet.
Nothing has been destroyed. AS our
exhausted, emaciated and eDfeebled SOL
diers left it, so 1t stands to-day, as monu-
ment to an inhumanity unparalleled in the
annals of war; How men could survive as
well as they did In this pen, exposed to the
rays Of an almost tropical sun by day, and
drencbing dews at night without the
slightest covering, is wonderful. The
grounds filed with the holes where they
had burrowed in their efforts to shield
themselves from the weather, and many q
self In this manner, was smothered to death
by the earth falling in upon him.
A very worthy man has been appointed
superintendent of the grounds and cemete-
ry, with instructions to allow no buildings
or structures, of whatever nature, to be de-
stroyed, particularly the stockade surf
rounding the prison-pen. The stories told
of the sufferings of our men while prison.
ers here have been substantiated by hum
dreds, and the skeptic who will visit An
Jacksonville, even now, and examine the
stoekade, with its oozy sand, cramped and
wretched burrows, the dead-line and
slaugbter-hOuse, must be callous observ-
er, indeed, II he is not convinced that the
miseries depicted of this prison-pen are no
exaggerati0ns. 70, gGr-1'rs1

NEW YORK, Oct. l9.-The war in South
America has commenced in real earnest,
Ihe Heralds correspondent and newspaper
files, giving details OF the recent battles at
Y.atay, show the sanguinary character
which the struggle is likely to assume. On
the 18th of August the allied forces, $4,000
stroug, under Generals Flores and Parnoro,
encountered $4,000 Paraguayans under
Major Duarte, on the right bank of the Uru-
quay river. The Paraguayans were un-
provided with artillery and outnumbered
surrender, but they replied by shoot
ing the messenger. For one hour
and a half the Paraguayans met
the fierce assault of the allies with
azydesperate resistance, neither ask
ing nor, receiving the quarter which
their assailants were little disposed to-
accede them. At the end of, that time they
broke and fled to the river, pursued by
1000 cavalry Here aslaughter took place
which one of .thevictorious Generals char
acterizes as regular butchery. Scarcely
one OF the defeated army escaped. They
left 400 dead on the field, and only 900
wounded-a conclusive proof Of the fearful
nature of the struggle. Their leader, Du
arte, and $4,000 of his troops, fell into the
hands of the Brazilians, and all their stores

loss at 800 killed and 1000 wounded.
Another detachment of Paragraphs,
1000 strong, on the other side of the river,
was prevented by Brazilian gunboats from
reinforcing Duarte, and at last dates they
were securely hemmed in at Uraguayana
by an immensely superior force.
As q set Off against these successes, an
engagement is reported between the Para
guayans and the Brazilian fleet, in which
the latter was severely handled. Follow
ing the example SO successfully set during
the return OF the fleet. In running past
these batteries the fleet suffered much dam

Further battles Of an equally important
character are daily expected.
