The wiz trial nov 10 nroeres.

The Wirz trial now in progress at
Washington is of vast importance to
the country, its developments proving
most conclusively the damning brutal
ty and wickedness of the rebel governs
ment The prisoner was but an iustru-
meRtin the hands Of others in high posi-
ton, employed to execute their nefari-
Gus work; to take the lives Of thousands
OF human beings by the worst species OF
cruelty, the slow torture of starvation,
with the myriad ills attending it. Its
records will furnish history of crime,
such as the annals of modern times
furnish no parallel for. 1t viii place a
stigma upon the rebel cause which all
the waters Of ocean cannot wash out.
We agree with the Albany Journal,
that it Is prOvidential and opportune
coincidence, that Just as this trial be
gum the officers sent by our Govern
ment to bury the murdered dead of An
Jacksonville, returned from their aWfu
mission. Thirteen thousand skeleton,
they found, and organized with them :
city Of the slaughtered-gave them
each quiet home under the greer
Georgian soil, and marked the restip,
place of each; that in the future bereay
ed fathers, and widowed wives, and or
phan children, may have some poin
upon which to fix their grief Thi
country viii hold many spots made deal
to it by the associations of its grea
trial; but none TO which the public
heart will turn with a more mournful
and unfailing interest than the GENE
terry Of the slain prisoners at Ander
sonville
Thus the Rebellion goes to its owl
place ~ history. Originated with fraud
hypocrisy, perjury; initiated by rob
berry and murder; continued with sucl
evidences Of depravity as have connect
ed themselves only with the worst ban
barisms Of the race, since time began
eliminating in deed of brutal and an
provoked assassination, its character
already perfected as the giant crime q
the ages, and unto all who were prom
nently identified with ats inception O
ITS progress, Is secured a legacy of ur
dying iniamy. The Government nee
resort to no special reyengos TO Wind
cate itself and complete the humilia
ton OF its adyersaries. The Lord G
Hosts hath cared for that.

JEFF. Davis Torpedoes.

The horrible catastrophe on the low
er Mississippi, the explosion of the
steamer Sultana, produced profound
sensation of sorrow. The illusions of
the mate of the lost steamer to the
cause Of the explosion being probably
torpedo in the form of coal, is not
rejected as improbable. 1t was dis
covered during the investigation of
the incendiary conspiracy to burn our
Western steamers in 1868, that man
named Courtenay, had been engaged
in preparing Jumps of coal and sticks
Of wood coated with powder and other
destructibles for the purpose of assist
ing the rebel spies to blow up our riv-
er steamers. The catastrophe is truly
horrible, and it is heightened in horror
by the thought that rebel hearts who
may have planned the assassination OF
President Lincoln planned this terrible
affair. Government has full and de-
tailed information concerning JEFF. Da-
Wis bureau of torpedoes and Internal
machines. Pictures of these deadly
missiles were captured, and among 9th,
er devices, were torpedoes in the shape
and appearance Of Jumps Of steamer
coal, so perfect in resemblance that it
would not be readily distinguished
from genuine coal The existence OF
this Internal device confirms the belief
that the steamer Sultana was destroy.

DesOlation.

| Desolation.
The Southern Rebellion is dead, af-
tier having caused the dcathrof a large
share of the Southern people. Persons
who have recently passed through the
accessible portions of the Atlantic
Slave States report frightful scarcity
of able-bodied males. A few old men;
a few cripples not many boys able to
shoulder musket, with a'sad abun6-
ance of widows and orphans, i'll clad,
eoarsely and scantily fed, woe-begone,
hopeless-such is the wreck left be-
hind by the fugitive chiefs of the Slave
holders Confederacy. Since the cap
ture of Jerusalem by Titus, there has
been no such utter ruin. In many pla-
ces, dumb stnpor appears to hav,
full sway over what are left of the
whites, so that they seem to have no
thought and no care for the future.
Of course, there is much bitterness
and vengeful hate still cherished by the
dupes of Secession many believing
that the North made causeless war on
the South and crushed it by brute
strength in the wantonness of con-
scious power. But, though hate re-
mains, and may impel to isolated acts
of crime, there is no thought of furth-
or warfare. The subjugation is felt
to be complete. The Government will
soon, we trust, be ready to speak COM
forting, reassuring words to the great
body of the Southern people.

Letter From Rev. j. G. Witted.
NATcHEz, MISSISSIPPI,
April ~, 1865.

.. April u, 1868.
FRIEND HLDRErH The papers you
sent me came duly to hand. | learn
from them not only that you received
my former letter, but that you have
published it entire. You are at liber-
ty to do the same with this. Last
week sent you copy of the only
paper published in Natchez. AS YOU
see, it is tri-weekly and only twelve
dollars year, or one dollar a month
| The size, paper, Typography, style,
&c, of the hteliigenoer is spoken of by
those who have seen it here, for the
first time, in very Aattering terms. The
! first Clerk of the steamer Leviathan
thought it the best village paper he
ever saw. have often said and still
say the same.
sent you the Natchez Courier be-
cause it contained an account of the
funeral obsequies in honor of the Pre-
sdent of the United States. The ed
itor says but little about the effect
which the startling intelligence of the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln produced
upon the loyal citizens in Natchez and
the troops stationed in and around the
city. #a.."
When the sacrilegious sons of Aaron
were suddenly destroyed by fire from
the Almighty, in the presence of Mo-
ses and Aaron, we are told that Aaron
held his peace" Moses spoke, but
the father was silent He was dumb!
The death of his two sons,-so sudden
and fearful, fairly paralyzcd the aged
sire, The shock produced feeling
too deep for utterance.
This is the best description l can
give of the effect produced in our
camp when we heard the short but ter
rible sentence, +" President Lincoln is
dead-he's kiiied-he's murdered At
first felt like Aaron, we were dumb
But the silence was like that which
sometimes precedes the storm. Words
like muttering thunder were heard in
the words of vengeance,
not loud, but deep as thunder tones
were heard in the tents Of the officers;
exclamations of horror and surprise
burst from the mouths of the sable
troops assembled here and there among
the trees in the camp. Many of the
latter, however, either would not or
could not believe that their earthly
savior was dead.
1t was the same with many of, the
colored citizens. Even during the fu-
neral procession, some Of these simple
creatures observed sternly, dat Lin
kin wasn't dead, but all dis was got
up to see who was real secesh and
who wasn't! Many came to me and
J asked if it was true "dat de Presi
: dent was dead |" Others, was told
firmly believed that his body was in
, the coffin borne by the hearse in the
procession. But what is still more
surprising, a few actually believed

Death of John F. II. Clark.

We learn that John F. NJ. Clark, for
merly of Riverton township, died on
the 29th of March last, at Fort Sully,
Dakota Territory. He was a member
Of Company b, 9Th Iowa infantry, and
was son Of Mrs. Mary N. Clark of
Riverton. Andrew Herbert, an officer
of the company, writes that Mr.. Clark
was cleaning his revolver while load
ed, when it accidentally went off,
shooting him through the thigh-the
ball glancing and coming out at the
knee. This happened March 2lst, and
he died of his wound eight days after
wards. He was much respected by
his fellow soldiers.

tion of all its readers to some Of the
things which Gen. Grant has accom-
plished for his country. He has com.
PEELED by force of arms the surrender
of four confederated armies. The first
surrender to Gen. Grant was made by
s. b. Buckner at Fort Donelson, Feb
ruary 10th, 1862. Here the " western
bull dog" bit out of the Southern Con
federacy $4,000 prisoners, 5000 hors
es, 10000 stand Of arms, As field pie
ces and II heavy guns. The second
coming doara was that of j. c. Pember
ton, July 4th, 1868, with all his forces
Here Grant made haul of twenty gen
eral officers, 4, 900 other officers, $4,000
fighting men, 5000 invalids in hospi
tails, l2S pieces of field artillery, 81
siege guns, 50 field pieces, 10000
small arms, in previous battles, anC
35, 900 on the day of surrender.
The fall of Vicksbmg was the frs
dissection of the Confederacy. Th'
fall of Port Hudson, the satellite for
tress Of vicksburg followed as ne
cessary corollary. At this place tn
spoils of Grant stood thus: $500
prisoners, 20 heavy guns, 81 field pie
ces. 44,so0 pounds of powder, $50, ,0O'
rounds small arm ammunition, 500,
stand Of arms, and two steamers.
! The next considerable deluge Gran
rained on our wayward sisters wa
the regular surrender of R. z. Lee a
Appomattox Court House, April 9th
1865. Here again General Gran
secured $4,000 paroled prisoners
$4,000 stand small arms, l60 cannon
10 flags, 1000 wagons, horses an
mules to about 5000. In this can
'paign Of ten days the army Of Nortf
ern Virginia of $4,000 men, wa
wounded, killed, paroled, crushed all
dispersed forever. sl@
! The fourth coming of Grant wa
the surrender of j. E Johnston at Dul

prisoners, 90 guns, are only two item
in this account.
