MORNING, OCTOBER II, 1866.
Isarbnrlsy to PRISONERS.



MeS8rS. Edtt0rS-I see that an organization has
been formed in the North under the lead of Gen.
Streight, the cavalry raider, OF men who were in
Southern prisons during the war, and who style
themselves g survivors of rebel barbarity." One
object of the organization is to col ect material
for history of that rebel barbarity
Permit me-, through your columns, to furnish
one chapter for them
While Gen, Strefght was q prisoner in the South
he, with some Of his comrades, managed plan
OF escape. This plan became known to the au-
thorites, who adopted means to Illustrate it.
sIhey were permitted to carry out their plan,
out guards were so stationed as to intercept them
at every point, who finaliy picked them up and
consigned them safe and sound in their prison
again.
:, Now, picture from the other side, and mark
Ine contrast During my imprisonment at Camp
Morton, numerous attempts were made by the
prisoners to escape by digging tunnels extending
beyond the outer fence These were sometimes
successful. One night tunnel was successfully
completed and number made their escape. Iher
absence was, of course, discovered, at roll call
next morning, and on examination the tunnel was
found.
The Yankees, however, concealed their knowl-
edge of it, expecting that others would attempt
to escape the following night Extra guards were
stationed with orders not to arrest and return to
prison, as was done with Streisht and his com
rades but to shoot'the first man who made his ap-
pearance.
young Mssouran named Bernhardh was the

believe ran down to the building from which the
tunnel was dng, and fired several shots into the
house, which contained about three hundred men.
Strange to say, no one was struck. He then
knocked the body of the murdered man, saying,
Eyes, damnyou, thought spades were trumps,
but held higher cards.
Another inhuman wretch named Coles a sur
geon in the hospital, who killed more rebels by his
unfeeling neglect and harbarty than he could have
done had he been in active service at the front,
expressed his regret that the man was killed, say
ing he wished he had been shot in the leg, tnat lie
might have had the pleasure Of taking it of and
seeing lin suffer.
At another time one Of our number was foully
murdered in cold blood by sentinel on guard
Next morning the sentinel who was private
was made sergeant, and put in charge Of the
division to which the murdered man had be
longed.
These are but instances out of the long list o1
manifestations Of savage cruelty which will make
up the dark pages Of a work which shall publish
ere long on Prison Life at Camp Morton and For

ADVENTURES OF A THOUSAND DOLLAR NOTE
Frequent mention has been made in the proceed.
ngs of the city councils, at this and preceding
sessions of one thousand dollar bank note,
which was in possession of Mr.. Josiah Cobb and
which he felt desirOus to have disposed of that
he might be relieved ofa care in reference to it.
Its history is little curious. In the year 1888, it
appears, Mr.. Cobb was called on by lad to
change ten dollarnote. Upon looking at it, he
discovered it to be genuine one thousand dollar
bill, and he was curious to know something more
about it. So great mistake in the denomination
of note is not ordinarily made. He retained it
for inquiry, and then ascertained that it had been
offered to lady who conducted the millinery bust
ness, by negro woman, in pay for some articles
That somebody was the loser to that amount
seemed almost certain. Mr. Cobb, under the Cir
cumstances, felt himself justfable in retaining the
note so as to find the owner. He advertised it at
various times for some four years, and never had
call for it. Tired of being its custodian, in Feb
ruary, 1872, he deposited it in the city treasury,
with $50 40 interest, in trust for the benefit of the
owner, if he should ever be found. Efforts have
been made, at one time or another, by parties in
the way of administration or as defendants of the
col0red woman, long since deceased, to get pos
session of it, hut without effect. Since the time of
deposit with the city the S1080 40 have been lying
in the city treasury, drawing interest," and at this
time the sum amounts to near $3O00 This, by the
action of the city council within day or two past
| it has been determined shall be appropriated to
| the use of the "Union Orphan Asylum" Thus
addition to the sngularity of the fact that Mr.
| Cobb never found legal claimant for the note
Notwithstanding his repeated advertisements, il
seems that the G0lored woman, who presented L
| to pay bill, never even appeared to make
claim for it, Baltimore Sun.

Extract of aette from North Carona to the New Haven
Reglster.I
The Southern country is in an awful condition.
1t must be seen to be belieYed-the corn crop,
their principal article Of food having failed this
season on account of the drought. Its expected
starvation must take place in some sections before
next spring. Corn is now selling at So 30 per
bushel, and bacon at 25c. per pound. God knows
the radicals need not wish the Southern people to
suffer more than they are suffering. If they were
barbarians they could not treat them worse than
they do now.
The negroes have no hesitation in saying they
were better off as slaves than now 1t is evident
to a candid mind they have never been worked
very hard, from the fact that since their freedom
they have rented lands from their former owners
and have eaten, during the time they have been
raising their crops, more than they have raised
altogether. This does not leave very wide mar
gin for them to live on from harvest to harvest,
and yet they claim to have worked cheap !"
harder than ever before. They have no concep-
ton in managing for themselves
k$They deserve compassion. They have been
robbed from good homes for an idea, to wander,
like Vagabonds, broadcast through the country to
starye. This same gentleman, Dr. Tate, in con-
yersation remarked, with all the warmth Of a
parent "What can we do for our poor negroes?
We are unable ito assist them having lost all ;
and yet we would willingly share with them
rather than have them suffer- but we have nothing
left to dvide-they must starye."
This is really their condition. When the war
closed, the darkies got it into their heads they
could not be free unless they leftther old homes
under the impression given them by these aboi
ton demagogues The novelty of freedom has
passed-the reality stares them in the face. He
has no one to feed, cohe, and give him any little
notion he may fancy. as formerly: They begin to
realize fully their condition, a hungry stomach
being a faithful monitor, and as soon as they need
anything they put back to their old masters, beg
ging for shelter and something to eat They can.
not refuse them, SO they lay around their old
homes until their former owners are compelled,
for their own protection, to tell them to go away.

Horse stables.

1t is a fault with most stables batthey are built
for men rather than for horses. We wish to point
out two common errors into which not few
builders are liable TO fall in constructing stables,
especially thoseupOn farms. The firstis in having
the doors and upper floor so low as they generally
are. On account of these low doors horses in
stinctyely learn to fear them, and they shy, rear
or prance whenever led toward them. They are,
also among the most frequent causes of poll-eVil.
The horse, when passing through them, is either
surprised by something it behods outside the
building or checked by the voice gesture of the
person leading him, when up goes the head and
crash comes the poll against the beam Of the
doorway. violent bruise often results there
from, and deep seated abCess follows Low hay
floors also produce the same trouble. The sudden
elevation of the headis, in the horse, expressive
of very unexpected emotion. This efectis always
noticed whenever you enter the stable rapidly or
at an unusual hour. A sudden noise will also
cause the same upward motion of the head. With
low stables, an injury to the horse is almost in-
variably sure to follow.
Again, the easiest position in which the horse
can stand is when the hind feet are the highest
portion of the body, or when the flooring Of the
stall slants in the opposite direction from what IL
does in most stables. This is the other error in
constructing stables to which we alluded. Horses
at liberty ia a pasture invariably stand when at
ease with their hind feet elevated somewhat and il
isamost wonder that builders of stables have not
improved upon this fact before, and adapted floors
to the wants of the horse. The moisture from the
horse, if the floor slanted toward the forward feet
would help to keep the forward feet moist, COO
and healthy, whereas now they are generally hot
full of fever and require washing with cool soar
suds at least once q day, in order to be kept in
healthy condition. This is not all. Where the
floor sants back, the horse not unfrequently at
tempts to ease the heavy strain upon the fexoi
tendons of the hind legs by hanging backupon the
halter. The pressure upon the seat of the pol
stops natural circulation. and in time it develop:
itself into a deep-seated abcess. We would like
to see stable in which the two errors of building
did not occur. If the builder was not satisfied
with it, we are satisfied the occupant would be
and would repay him by long years Of good ser
vice, with unrestraned limbs and healthy c0ndi
