The Wirz case proceeds slowly. We
devote considerable space this morning
to the evidence, which confirms that
previously given, as to fiendish outrages
committed by the accused. Sergeant
Boston Corbett, the man who killed
Booth, was on the stand, and his testi-
mony is very strong. Corbett was a
prisoner at Andersonville. One wit
ness testifies that Wirz took large sum
of gold from him, which was never re-
also that he saw him shoot
and kill a prisoner for merely asking
for a drink of water. Virus counsel
from his case because they did
not like the rulings of the Court, but
subsequently at his earnest request that
they would not desert him, they agreed
TO continue his defence.

RIoHMONp.

There seems to be quite an improve
ment in the tone of the people of Rich
mond, and we are glad to find that they
are less proud and less sullen, than they
were few months ago. The Republic,
which came very nigh perishing for
want of support, merely because it pur-
sued candid and patriotic course, now
boasts that its friends are daily increas-
ing, and that the people are evincing a
noble disposition to sustain it, and in
dorse its opinions. The mass meeting,
too, which was held in the Capitol
Square on Tuesday evening, is reported
to have been very encouraging and en-
thusiastic gathering. The American
flag was displayed, and they had "Hail
Columbia" and other national airs by
the local band. The speeches were pat
riotic enough, and. give evidence of a
returning love for the Union, and the
resolutions, while deprecating the gross
misrepresentation to which the people
of Richmond and the South have been
subjected at the North, express deter.
mination to use every effort to bring
about a better state of affairs, to restore
public confidence, and to sustain Presi-
dent johnson and Governor Pierpoint,
in their laudable efforts to replace Vir-
ginia in her former position in the
Union. They protest that their loyalty
is sincere, and that they have no dispo.
sitisn to again go astray. We see no
reason for discrediting the sincerity of
their professionso of faith, and hail these
evidences of their increasing patriotism
as the harbinger of happier times in the
Old Dominion. We trust the press of
the North will carefully weigh the re-
marks Of the speakers at this gathering,
closely examineintother resolutions, and
receive our purgations in the true spirit
of charity.

dog. and was not entitled to so much re-
spect as one of those animals, which
found full scope in the cruelties COM
mitted at Andersonville. They did not
seek for an excuse, but boldly admitted
these acts so long as they were intoxi-
Gated with hopes of success. They were
not ashamed of them, but gloated with
savage delight over the tortures they
were infiicting. They little thought
the Nemesis was so close at hand, and
that her sword even then was suspended
over their heads by hair. They would
now explain away and excuse theil
conduct; but repentance comes too late.
The people are supping full of horrors
The Investigation going on at Washing
ton but increases their indignation as it
fills their hearts with honest rage; and
even those who some months ago dis
credited the terrible stories of the prison
pens of the South, and were disposed 10
deal leniently with Jefferson Davis ana
the leaders in the rebellion, are no"
loudest in their demands for justice.
Their anger is not so much directed
AGAINST the miscreant Wirz, who ac-
knowledges himself a mere tool, as
AGAINST Jefferson Davis, the head and
front of the offending; and if he be
executed it will not be for treason, but
for the. cruelties practiced by his
authority upon the Federal prisoners.
The people have not been permitted,
even if they would, to sink into any
apathetic or Indifferent mood with re-
gard to the punishment of the leadersin
the rebellion for the current OF every
week deepens and strengthens the feel
ing that just retribution is inevitable.
The Door excuse of retaliation will not
excuse these men either; for the con-
current testimony of rebel prisoners con-
fined at the North establishes the fact
that they were kindly and magnani-
mously treated. In that proud moment
of citation, when the naughty Confed-
crate leaders thought their success as
sured, they never dreamed of being call
ed upon to give an accounted these dark
deeds; and they revelled in saturnalia
of horrible atrocities which they now
vainly regret ever having committed.
They did not follow the safe maxim :
Treat your enemy as if he were one
day to become your FRIEND" and, conse-
quently, the Northern people are slow
to extend to them their forgiveness and
friendship.

ever was saved from any serious bodily injury by the
noble and self-sacrifcing ntercession OF two gal

mute on the subject of crabs the balance of

themselves in Hampton to the full bent OF their in
