the Federal prisoners, and tolerably
plain intimaMons of what these pril-
soneys would do in Georgia when re-
leased, were giveniand gloated over.
It was impossible, by reason of the
threatening cavalry forays, to spread
the prisoners about in half dozen
camps thsanghgut Georgia and Ala
bama. The. Federals compelled a
concentration Of Federal prisoners at

because it was so scarce; akcondly. for
fear of inviting a raid. Wherever the
Northern troops went, they DESTROYED
rything that could be eaten, or
that conduced to the making of food,
or that could carry or convey food.
The prisoners. toward the end of
1864, doubtless suffered horribly.
But, though columns upon columns of
evidence and assertion may hereafter
appear in Northern Journals, there is
nowhere % Southernsr but, believes,
and will continue to believe, that
these sufferings were in the main
caused-ffrst, by the persistent refusal
of the Federals to continue the ex-
change OF prisoners; secondly, by the
wholesale destruction of foodhwhich
starved not only thousands of Federal
soldiers, but also thousands of Con-
tederate men, women and children.

The Memnhis ADUeaL

The Memphis-Grenada-Jackson-Atlan-
ta-Montgomery appeal is revived. The
first number of volume sixteen was pub
lished in Memphis on the 5th inst. It is
the same size and appears in similar dress
as the st. Louis Republican, 1t is printed
on the identical press which left Memphis
in 1862, and which was kept out of the
hands Of the Federals during the war,
though it had to do some tall travelling.
1t is worked by the same pressman, Andy
Harman, who was shelled out of jackson
when Grant made bis famous move from
Bruinsburg. The press has made MANY
narrow escapes, and notwithstanding its
peregrinations, prints beautiful paper
the columns of which give an interesting
account of its adventures rs follows 'The
APPeat being now perfectly iron-clad with
paroles, amnesties and pardons, is on its
feet again in robust and vigorous life. Its
columns are draped in mourning for Col
John NJ. Clanahan, one of its former
publishers, who was accidentally killed in
Memphis last June"

Remarkable watch.

A marvel of American invention and
Swiss skill has recently been imported by
gentleman of Boston. The inventor
made complete drawing of the minutest
details of the work and sent them to
Switzerland.
The watch winds, and is regulated
wholly by the stem, which is thus the sole
key. The movement combines an inde-
pendent center, seconds for timing horses,
a repeater striking the half and quarter
hours and, moreover, an index, or calen-
der, giving the day of the month. The
workmanship is by james Nardin, OF
Switzerland In external appearance it
is very rich and tasteful, the gold chasing
being executed with exquisite skill.
The work throughout is, indeed, per-
feet model of a gentleman's watch, there
being no superhuous display Of jeweITy
and other ornamentation upon it; but
every part is rich and solid, its beauty
being everywhere properly subordinated
to usefulness. Without any ornamenta-
tion of diamonds or other precious stones,
the cost Of the mechanicism is fifteen hun
dred dollars The material of the move
ment is the red gold and nickel, now in
quite general use. Its accuracy as time
keeper has been tested in the extreme de-
grees of temperature, and found to be per-
feet We feel fully justified in saying
that, taking into consideration the ingenU-
ity and intricacy of the mechanism and
the rare skill Of the workmanship, the
superior of this watch has never been
made. Ii is the only watch Of its kind
in the world. The total cost, including
a monogram of small diamonds, is nearly
three thousand dollars.-BostO7l Trans

In the Episcopal Convention, discus

Tho lesson or rhe EIections.

John c. Forney writes as follows to The
Philadelphia Press:
Radicalism sustained a terrible rebuke
in the recent elections-notth the radicalsm
Of the North, the spirit of intrepid inquiry
and complete reformation, but that which
was threatened in the restoration TO power
of the authors of the rebellion. Forever
to prevent and annibilate that danger was
the great secret of these unprecedented
Union victories. The intelligent people
of the South will not fail TO see and to act
upon truth so palpable and SO powerful
The present and future governing MAORI
ty of this country is that crystalized and
organized anti-slavery resolve, which has
forever defeated renewal of strife on the
subject of slavery, by putting out all the
embers of that consuming and fatal fire.
1t was a profound misnomer to call that
resolve spirit of rash innovation or cruel
revenge 1t is simply the truest conser-
vatism-that which saves and sanctifeS
the good, and rejects and destroys the evil.
How marvellously significant it was, for
instance, to note the supreme indifference
of the people before they voted in the late
elections to all the charges of radicalism
against their candidates. They seemed,
Indeed, rather gratifed when these accu-
sations took the specific shape of friend
ship to negro suffrage; but nothing
awakened their suspicious so quickly as
the insinuation that any Union candidate
was disposed to favor the admission OF
the late rebels to Congress, or Indifference
to the mission of elevating and pro-
tecting the freedmen.

A Sensible sneech.

The following sensible argument from
rebel standpoint in favor of repudiating
the rebel debt was made by Mr.. ]. L.
Seward, in the Georgia Convention:
Mr.. Seward said:
"Thsre are three views on the question
before this body. We may pass this or
dinance, and not repudiate and not pay
the debt, for that is notrepudiHtiOn-it is a
misnomer. l consider the term odious,
Or we may pay every dollar of the debt
according to the face of the notes, or we
may scale it down to q specie basis. l dc
not think we are under any legal obliga-
tions to pay the debt, for the contingency
expressed on the note, six months aftel
ratification of treaty of peace between
United States and Confederate States, has
never happened and never will happen
and, as it is we'll understood from our law
books, the debt is not legally binding.
will illustrate the case: If a man should
agree to pay my friend from Cobb, (Mr
Hanzell, one thousand dollars after the
birth of his first male child, and that child
should never be born, he could not claim
the payment thereof; but Notwithstanding
we are not legally bound to pay the debt
1 am in favor of paying it, when scaled
down to a specie bass"

Important Opinion from Secretary
Seward--Mr. Davis Cannot be Con-
Vieted.
A New York correspondent Of the Ma
con (Ga.) Telegraph, writing on the 10th
of October says:
Since have introduced Mr.. Seward s
name, will refer to conversation he had
few days since with Thurlow Weed
Jefferson Davis being the subject. Weed
said Mr.. Davis should be hanged, and
expressed himself quite warmly on the
subject. Mr.. Seward then propOunded
the query, ''Why would you hang him ?''
to which Weed replied: +" wonld hang
him for treason" Mr.. Seward responded in
his energetic way: "We cannot hang
him without first convicting him, and !
think no impartial jury would do that
Weed said: aHis guilt is already estab-
| lished, and his conviction should not be
difficult :" but Mr.. Seward maintained
that no jury could be formed to convict
him. and added in asignifcant way, "And
even if we should hang him it would be nc
great moral lesson to the world" Gentle
men who were present during the conver
sation infer from it that Mr.. Davis life !!

their destination before leaving Europe.
FREEDMEN.
General Fiske and Chaplain French ad-
dressed a meeting last evening on the con-
dition of the Freedmen in the South. They
stated that there was much suffering in Ken
lucky, Alabama and Georgia, and unless i'm
mediate relief was given them $4,000 would
die in those States alone during the coming
winter of cold and starvation. The condi-
ton of the negroes in Tennessee was repre-
sented as being better than in the other
States.

The latest rumor from the Treasury De-

! the least possible legislation and will show
the feasibility of so funding the debt of the
country as to insure its redemption at not a
very distant day.
There are also rumors that the Secretary
will recommend such legislation as will
make it imperative for the National Banks
to redeem their bills at New York, and will
force many of them to contract their circu-

ing trepidation on the part of Winder,

Old Capital Prison. Winder is realizing
more fully than his associates the full force
of danger that hangs over them as partners
and active participators in the crimes of
Wirz while conducting the famous stockade.
| He is especially nervous upon the subject
and maniiests an impatient desire to place
his record before the authorities and thus
be cleared of the damaging implications
that were deduced from the testimony
brought out in the trial of Wirz. He fire.
quently summons the cOmmandant of the
prison to his cell and endeavors to obtain
some idea of the popular feeling that is en-
tertained in regard to his share and agency
in the atrocities of Andersonville. The
vindication he has prepared of himself al
ready covers forty pages of legal cap and is
being added to daily.
