the letter made a long journey. The
officers Of the first gunboat it visited
started it it on its travels with the fol-
lowing Endorsement: "Pass IT down tilt

Popularity.

Gt nUiuIity.
A great many people, at the pres.
cnt day, think more of obtaining 4
publicity and popularity, than of any
other one thing they could possibly
be possessed of. But, anxious as
they may be to acquire the vain glory
Of the popular voice, none ever sue
ceeded to so great an extent as has
that world-renowned remedy, known
as Goes Cough Balsam. There is
scarcely family in the land but what
consider supply of this article as
necessary to the household as their
-four or provisions. Experience has
taught the people that no other rem
edy has ever been put before the pub
lie that will cure coughs, colds, Group,
sore throat, and in tact, all throat
and lung complaints, rs quickly and
as cffecually as Goes Cough Balsam.
In the Eastern States, where it has
been long known and tested, it is con.
sidered as the most reliable cough
remedy extant, and no one, either
rich or poor, thinks of being without
it. We would suggest to all our
readers the necessity of keeping on
hand an article of this kind for imme-
diatc use. 1t costs but 40 cents per
bottle, and is sold at all Drug Stores,
and is the cheapest and best remedy
in the world. i9 I'm.

Turnpike Road Wanted.

The road leading South from Find
lay is acknowledged to be the worst
road in the county. During nearly
eight months of the year it is almost
This should not be-
There are sufficient quantities of
stone along the road to make good
thoroughtare at all seasons. Those
living along the road and our towns
people cannot invest their money
better than in making this improve
mcnt, and it would greatly benefit
both the county and town.
A farmer living a short distance
from town says he will give five hun
dred dollars towards building the
first five miles of good substantial
road from town, and that he has u
neighbor who willdo the same; {; also,
that they would give fifty dollars per
mile to continue the road to Dun
kirk. Every one can see the advan-
tages of fixing this road, and the en-
terprise would undoubtedly receive
a hearty support from all. Let the
matter be agitated, and it can be put
through. Who is the enterprislng
man first to take hold of this matter.

the Richmond and Danvlle Railroad.
About year ago there was road
constructed from Danvillc to Greens
boro, thus connecting Columbia with
Richmond by that route and making
il the shortest route by rail from
Richmond to any portion Of the Con-
federacy.
We were, OH our arrival, taken TO
prison No. 3, large, black, uncom-
Portable looking, three story brick
building, formerly used as tobacco
warehouse. The second and third
stories alone were used rs prisons,
the better to prevent escape--the first
being occupied by the guards. The
floors were not plowed and grooved,
but merely jointed together and nail
ed down so that after the usual
shrinkage of the lumber cracks of
from one.cighth to one-fourth of an
inch in width were left, and as we had
to sleep upon the floor with nothing
but blanket underus, it made livery
disagreeable, especially in cold windy
weather, the windows all being open
in the lower story. On the next
morning after our arrival / was
awakened from q sound slumber by q
loud cry of "buckets for water" and
thinking the building was ON fire l
sprang to my feet, but the thing was
soon explained by a fellow prisoner
near by, who stated that the prisoners
had to obtain their supplies of water
from the river nearly one fourth OF a
mile distant, that they were permit
ted to 90 in squads of from eight to
fifteen for that purpose, and that was
the usual way of collecting the squad
About nine o'clock the rations were
brought in they consisted of mix
turc of cobs, bran and corn stirred
together and mixed with water. This
composition was then raised till it
was so light that one pound, our
usual allowance, only weighed three
quarters. In the afternoon we re.
ceived q pint OF something the ma
tives called thin soup. For the life
of me never could discover in il
any resemblance to that article, and
had it not been for the few beans
found in the bottoms of the pals in
which the soup was brought, l would
have been ut loss, even to this day,
TO know what to call it. Three oil
four times after went TO Danvillc
,hey issued beefat the rate of about
two ounces to the man, instead OF
soup. The beef consisted Of the re-
fuse of the slaughter house. Heads,
livers and lights were all thrown to-
gether, untrimmed, into q large ket-
tie and boiled. | remember very
distinctly of receiving for NY ration
the gristly piece OFF the end of the
nose. ! was not hungry for meat
that day, SO l gave mine away, and |
easily enough found a man hungry
and willing TO eat it. Even this was
stopped in short time, and about
the middle of December, we were re-
duccd to three-fourths of q pound OF
corn bread.
