Association of Returned prisoners.

PITrsBURG, Sept PA meeting of the
returned prisoners from number Of States,
was held after the adjournment Of the Sal
lorS and Soldiers Convention, when an as-
ISOLATION Of rebel-prison survivors was or
ganized by the election of Gen. A.STRAIGHT
as Chairman. This evening a constitution
and circular was adopted as follows q
We. the survivors of the thousands of
LOYAL men, who have been incarcerated in
Southern prisons, DESTROYS of forming a So
ciety for the purpose of collecting material
for a history Of their imprisonment and
affording aid TO those Of them who have
been rendered helpless by rebel barbarity,
and of rendering and perpetuating friend
ship, cemented by mutual suffering, have
initiated such an organization.
The association was permanently organ
lied by choosing Gen. STRAIGHT, of Ind, as
President, and one Vice President from each
State represented.
A beginning having been thus made, we
appeal to our late comrades in prison to
Join with us in making this association CO.
extensive with cur country. To this end
let each returned prisoner put himself in
communication with the Vice President ap-
pointed for the State to which he belongs,
and be enrolled as a member Of the branch
association of his State. Those becoming
members will aid in collecting such infor-
nation as will be useful in composing a
history of rebel prisons, and especially in
relation to those fellow prisoners whose fate
is unknown to their friends at home. With
such purposes in view, we feel assured that
our fellow-prisoners generally will join us
in carrying them into affect by using every
means conclusive to that end. The meeting
then adjourned.

INFORMATION WANTED.

Mr.. DIcKEY, The Radical candidate for
the Legislature in this county, has not
mingled much in politics, We believe. His
opinion on the pending issues are, there
fore, unknown to most of our people. They
are proper subject of inquiry, in view Of
his candidacy. For the purpose of ascor-
tanning them, and in behalf the public,
we respectfully PROFOUND the following in
terrogatories;
Are you, Mr.. DIcKEY, in favor Of negro
suffrage in this State9 And IL elected, viii
you vote for measure comforting the right
to vote in this State upon the negro
viii you vote to enroll the negroes into
our State militia? And will you vote to
place arms in their hands, and for supplies
TO sustain them il called into active service
by the State authorities?
These are brief questions and admi. Of
direct answers in monosyllables. They can
be answered in Eve minutes. Unless they
are answered, it would not be unfair to as
sumo, under the usual construction Of ST.
lence, that Mr.. DIcKEY would answer them,
if at all, afhrmatively. We desire every
voter in the cCunty TO look for his response,
and if he calls to reply, to see that his name
does not appear on any ballot that is deposit
ed on Saturday. These are times when no
man ought to occupy political station unless
his position is fairly and fully known.
Judge BRIEN has made no conoealment-his
views and opinions are well known-let Mr..
DIoKEr be equally frank and explicit. II
he isn't, We advise the people to vote agains;
| him % a man.

THE BLACK SHEEP AMONG THE
SOUTHERN UyOYALYgFs


When the statement that II. G. NORTON,
one Of the vagrant Southern loyalists who
are earning their bread and butter by max
ing a crusade in the North against the Pres
ident and the Union, had become disguised
with his mission and had determined TO ex-
pose the tergiversations Of the anti-restora-
tionists with whom he was raiding il was
straightEay declared by all good radical
prints in the east that NORTON was never
good radical; that he had not the confidence
Of the knowing ones among the faithful in
the Radical church, and had "Krung himself
in' upon the sweet-scented BRowNLow,
HAMILTON, YARMOUTH, etc. This denial
in behalf Of the sO-called Radical MOTION
was accepted redily enough by the public,
for it was we'll understood that the whole
gang Of itinerants were "shaky" set Of ad-
venturers; but now the Radical papers are
putting forth new denial, to the effect that
MOTION is true and the pretended dispatch
of his, was a forgery. Well, no matter; it
is Of little account to the country whether
these vagrant disuniOn 'loyalists" lie or are
lied about As soon as the bread and butter
with which their political friends are feeding
them fail, they will subside into obscurity.--

found, exactly corresponds with the descrip-
ton Of BUTTS. Two of the front teeth were
broken. Gold shirt studs and sleeve buttons
were found. Capt. BUTTS wore sleeve but
tons, but Major CRoNY does not remember
that he wore studs From the description
of the wound, the ball must have entered

Episcopal Convention.

NEW York, September 27.-The Epis-

in St. Johns Chapel. The reports of the
Trustees of the Episcopal funds was read.
1t appears that the accommodating fund
added to the disposable fund, now exceeds
$4,000, the limit of the fund to be OBJ
tanned for the support of the Bishop. The
report sets forth that the interest on this
sum will not support the Bishop and pay
the taxes on the Episcopal residence. The
Commissioners were instructed to continue
the accumulation Of the fund for the support
of the Bishop.
1t was resolved to purchase a house and
lot, as an Episcopal residence for the Bishop
The latter then proceeded to deliver his an
nual address. After speaking an hour and
half, without concluding his address, a
recess of half an hour was taken.
Upon re-assembling, a resolution was
adopted that the members would attend the
funeral of the Rev. DIR. HAWKS.
The special committee on the salary Of
the Bishop made their report. 1t was re-
solved to vote to the Bishop, in addition to his
salary of Sc, 900, the sum Of 1000, making &
total for the year of $4,000.
The Convention then adjourned until this
evening, when reports will be heard from
the committees and the Bishop will conclude
the delivering of his address.
