"Reminiscences of the Wirz Trial.

One of the witnesses for the prosecution
in the case of Wirz, the AndersOnvillej Tailor,
was a person who called himself the Mar
quis de la Beune, who claimed 10 be "A
granddaughter of La Fayctte. The witness
testified TO the individual killing or murder
committed by Wirz. During the progress
of the trial the Marquis, il is said, obtained
the recommendations Of members of the
military commission for his appointment
to clerkship in the Interior Department,
and was afterward appointed by the Secre-
tary of the Interior. Yesterday he was
dismissed from his position as clerk upon
the representation, as we are informed, of
the officers and soldiers of the Seventh
New York (Steuben) Regiment 10 which
Beume formerly belonged, and from which
II Is alleged, he deserted. II is said the
real name of this person is Felix Oeser.-
n. Y. Times, (Repubiiodn.)
Beume was one of the witnesses who
helped swear away the life Of Wirz, and
was rewarded therefor by a aelerkship. We
now see what sort of rascal he was.

PAINFUL.-1 It certainly ought to be very griev-
Gus to the Raleigh press. that they should be the
instruments of affecting SO deeply the tender con-
scencies of our contemporaries at Salisbury, Char
lotte and Statesville by the little sparring which
of the city press indulge occasionally. Usu-
| ally there is but little gained by pitching in to
prevent family quarrel Those who take hold
| to command the parties, usually come off second
best. We assure our friends that the Standard
and Sentinel are not yet at Gagger's points, nor
likely to be.-Raletgh Sentinel.
If our friends of the Standard and Sentinel are
not at ''dagger's points they have very poor
way of showing their love for each other. Their
contemporaries at Salisbury, Charlotte and States
vile" are not seriously afflicted by the squab
bes Of the Raleigh press;'' but they like to see
people practice what they preach, and as the
Raleigh press teach peace to others it is hoped
they will observe their creed little better than
they have been doing recently. Without mean
ing the least dsrespect for the Raleigh press"
we might say that their contemporaries view the
contest as 4" dog eat-dog fight - (fguratively
speaking of course.) The people of the State
haye about little use at present for their dis
cussions as passengers in Railroad coach have
for squalling baby.

PLAIN TALK.-Gen: Geo w. Morgan, demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, delivered
a speech at Elyria. Ohio, the 18th inst, in
which he spoke of who was TO blame for the suf-
ferings of the Andersonville prisoners follows
There is name, the sound of which fills
every heart with sadness-''Andersonville - 1t
was at once the prison and the tomb of thousands
of our children, brothers, and friends -
The treatment they received at the hands of the
enemy is represented as barbarous and cruel.
But time and time again did the insurgents offer
to exchange tie Andersonvie prisoners for those
held by US; and often did Secretary Stanton
refuse to make the exchange. According TO the
correspondent of the New York Tribune, who
himself was prisoner Mr. Stanton is responsible
for the many thousand of Union graves which
surround the Southern prisons; and Stanton has
acknowledged that the pretended difficulty as to
the exchange of blacks only prete1t to
prevent an exchange for cur own brave men who
were dying in loathsome prisons he declared
that be would not exchange sound men for diving
skeletons And by our own Secretary eff War
were our own brave soldiers doomed to starva-
tioa and DEATH While, had they been exchar ged.
two months time would have seen the majority of
them once more in the field But they are dead,
and each soldiers grave is g. silent but awful re-
proach against Edwin Stanton. the leader in
chief of the republican party. Applause
