THERE is excellent evidence of the fact
that Stonewall Jackson favored the mur-
der of all Union prisoners. The Reverend
Professor Dadney, of Richmond, per-
.onal friend and admirer Of jackson, has
just published a memoir of the latter, i'm
London, in which he says that jackson
was one of those, who. at the outbreak of
hostiiities, tried to unite the Christian
people, North and South, in an effort to
stop the war, and having failed in this,
maintained that ''it was the true policy Of
the South to take no prisoners, as ''ihe
war was an offense against humanity so
monstrous that it outlawed those who
shared its guilt beyond the pa'e of for

PoIsoSEr.- We learn that three chill

town of Alma, were poisoned a week or so
ago, by eating fancy colored candy. Mr.

vomiting. and is in fair way to recover.
The other two are said to be quite low.

Corn Sugar.

The Buffalo Commercial of the 9TH SAYS
that the parties interested in the recent
discovery of sugar to be manufactured
from corn are actively engaged in making
preparation. for the extensive manufac-
ture of sugar by the new method, and that
they will be prepared to put the new sta
pie upon the market in a few DAYS. Tho
Commercial adds: Developments which
have been made since the matter was first
announced BY us, have moro than CON
frmcd the statements made at that time
and more than justify the anticipations we
then INDUCED in as to the complete sue
cess of the enterprise"
Every sugar consumer will be glad to

The Internal Reyenue Act---Au Important De-
rSiOD,

In the United States District Court, at
Baltimore, yesterday, the case of the Uni
ted States us.sA. Braffman, against whose
stock Of goods, valued at $50 900, there had
been fled by the District Attorney an in
formation for the violation Of the act of
June So 1864, chapter 173, section As
known as the Internal Revenue Act, for
not making proper monthly returns Of the
amount of the manufacture and sales ari-
sing from his business as q clothier, was
brought to close The case had occupied
the court for two days, and attracted a
large number of spectators interested in
the determination Of the suit, which was
brought at the instance ST 2. G. Saurwein
ESQ, Collector of the Third district
Considerable testimony was received,
and much legal talent displayed by the
counsel on either side. Messrs. Thomas
and STEELE, for the defense, submitted Il
prayer for the Court to instruct the jury
that even if they shall find that the goods
siczed by the collector in this case were
in the possession and under the control of
Braffman, With the design of selling them
and making returns of his sales, showing
less than the true amount thereof, still the
United States is not entitled to a verdict
under the information in this case.
The court rcjected this prayer, and gave
the following instructions:
'If the jury shall find from the evidence
in this case that on the day when the seiz-
ure OF the goods (whose condemnation is
now songht) was made, the said goods
were in the possession Of the defendants
for the purpose of being sold in fraud of
the internal revenue laws, or with intent
on the part Of the said defendant to ten
der only the partial account to the asses
sor from month to month of sales Of the
said goods, and to pay only portion of
the duties which by said laws he'was re-
quired to pay, the said goods are forfeited
although the Jury may also find that the
defendant held two licenses-one az a re
taller and the other as a manufacturer of
dry coods-and that he intended when he
made stiles to make only partial returns OF
his sail sales Of said goods"
The jury rendered a verdict for the Uni
ted States of condemnation and forfeiture
for the goods siezed This is the first cast

Through the bright period Of prosperity,
which we believe, has now dawned unor

its developrhent by the cruel and ruinous
system of slavery, the anniversary of that

Will extend through all time.
We have so long labored to impress the
advantage of emancipation upon the peo-

II necessary to go over the entire ground.

CHANGE OF Basin October, 1862,
General G. 2. T. Beauregard addressed
letter to his Southern brethren, in which
he urged them thereafter to speak of the
Yankees as abolitionists. By the use of
this ''orrid expression the North was to
be intimidated, the Southern heart fired,
aud independence achieved. The missile
failed of its purpose. Now we read a dis
patch from the little Creole, in which he
speaks of the Yankees as Federal raid
ers." What has become of hi, formidable

WV AUTUMN WALK.
BY wa. CULLEN BRYANT

On woodlands ruddy with Autumn
The amber sunshine lies
look on the beauty round me,
And tears come into my eyes
For the wind that sweeps the meadows
Blows out of the far Southwest,
Where our gallant men are fighting,
And the gallant dead are at rest.
The golden rod is leaning,
And the purple aster waves
Tn breeze from the land of battles,
A breath from the land Of graves.
Full fast the leaves are dropping
Before that wandering breath;
As fast. on the field of battle,
Our brethren fall in death.
Beautiful over my pathway
The forest spoils are shed;
They are spottiug the grassy hiIiocks
With purple aud gold and red
Beautiful is the death-sleep
CT those who bravely fight
In their couutry's holy quarrel,
And perish for the right.
Rnt who shall comfort the living,
The light of whose homes is gone.
The bride, that, carly widowed,
Lives brokcu-heagted on:
The matrou. whose sons are lying
In graves on "A distant shore;
The maiden, whose promised husband
Comes back from the war 10 more
look on tie peaceful dwellings
Whose windows Glimmer IN sight,
With croft aud garden and orchard
fiat bush in the mellow light
And know, that, when our couriers
With news Of victory come,
They will bring a bitter message
ofbopel S griefto some.
Again turn to the woodlands,
And shudder as see
The mock-grapc's blood-red banner
Hung out on the cedar trce-
And l thiak of days of slaughter,
And the nigbtly-sky red with flames,
On the Chattahooch"c's meadows.
And tho wasted banks OF the James.
Oh. 60 the fresh spring season,
When the groves are in their prime
And far away ID the future
Is the frosty autumn time.
Oh, for that better season,
When the pride of the foe shall yield,
And the hosts Of God and freedom
March back from the well won field:
And the matron shall clasp her first-bor
With tears Of joy and pride;
And the SCARED and war-woTn lover
Shall claim his promised bride.
The leaves are swept from the branches
But the living buds are there,
With folded flowe~ and foliage,
To sprout in a kinder air.
