EVERY NOW AND THEN we see in our South
ern and Western exchanges n marriage notice,
setting forth how Lieutenant, Captain, or Ma
jor So-and-so," of the late Confederate Army,
"married Miss So-anI-so." Now, seeing that
everybody in tho country belonged to the said
late so-called,-certainly every one who is
worthy to lead bride to the altar,-we fail
to see the necessity or propriety of still contin-
uing the use Of these "handles' to the names
of the happy men, If o distinction must be OBJ
served, let it be on the other side, somewhat
after this wise: "Married, on the 3lst day of
November, by the Rev. Judas Iscariot, Miss
Rhoda Hudor to P. Liver, Esq, who did not
aid or abet the 'late soc allied Confcdcracy'."

The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-09-11

II is stated that the Insurgents, surrounded on
every SIDE by the Imperial troops, have retreated
IN the woods; but they are hemmed In by the
troops and the vOlunteers-the latter belonging
mostly to the Toungouses and Bouriates who
are excellent sharpshooters. The town is much
agit8ted, because il contains many Inhabitants
and employees who are Poles. Foot and horse
troops patrol the whole night; in every street
are statloned ten mounted Cossacks and ten on
foot. The heat Is excessive; yet no one dares
to 90 from town either TO batne or walk in the
woods. Advices received to-day from Oussolie
(CrOwn Mills sixty versts from Irkutsk) an
nounce that the Poles working here have also
reyolted; likewise in the towns of Kansk aud
Balagansk.
Yet, by decree dated 18th Of April last, the
Emperor had considerably mitigated the con-
dition OF the Poles deported in Siberia. Those
condemned to penal servitude Tor six years
were made colonIsts; those who we're colonsts
received permission to circulate freely through
the whole of Siberia. 1t seems that they have
availed themselves of this act of clemency only
to mutiny, kill, and pillage, fer escape was out
OF the question.
The Polish mutlny in Siberia was caused not
by conspiracy, but by sheer despair. Thou
sands of political eXlles, victims Of the last re-
bellion, were employed in making roads from
lrkutsk TO Kachta, along the telegraph to the
Chinese frontier, and from Verchnol Udinsk
through Nerchinsk to Petropaulovsk in KANT
schatka. They were divided into many detach-
ments, one of which, being stationed in Kultuk,
on Lake Baikal, was so badly provsioned that
the men began TO die Off iast and the
resolved either to provide remedy or fall in
in the attempt Accordingly, they surprised
