WORD TOR OURSELVES.

The Geographic correspondent from this

NASHVILLE. June 1.-THE morning UNIoN
AND American discontinues its daily edition Tor
want Of patronage"
We beg leave TO say that, Notwithstanding
the appeal of the Radicals Of this city to
Gen. GRANT to suppress the UNION AND
AMERICAN, and their ardent desire that its
career should be cut short, it still continues
to make its daily, tri-weekly and weekly
appearance Since the war it has received
the well-pl2ced confidence and generous sup
port Of the people, to such an extent that it
oan defy both its enemies and dull business
seasons. We trust that We shall never be
betrayed into the folly of Boosting; but
while we feel that a discriminating public
has sustained us as the exponent Of sound
political views, and given Us credit for en-
ergy and enterprise as a newspaper, we can
properly give notice that the UNION AND
AMERICAN has not suspended or discon-
tinued any of its editions and that it does
not anticipate a necessity Of doing so at any
time hereafter.
We are daily increasing our expenses,
that we may be fully up to the times in all
respects, and have to thank our patrons for
the encouragement they give US, in this city,
in the three divisions of the State, and in
the Southern States generally.

nature and character of that enterprise:
The veto OF the bill passed by Congress,
recently. under the modest title of an act Il
authorize the New York and Montana Iron
Mining Company to purchase certain publ,
lands, throws a dampcr on one of the nices

object of the measure was 10 enable a set O

achieve tins, bogus company was started

Inhumanity to Federal Prisoners.
THE SALISBURY PRISON.
Trial Of Major Gee. and His Probable
AcquittaI.
A Radical Spectators View of
the Case.


Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
RALEIGH, y. c., June IG.-The trial of
Major JoHN ii. GEE, late keeper of the
rebel prison at Salisbury, is at last concluded.
The commission which tried him began its
session ON the DIST of February, and closed
on the lIth ult, being one hundred and
thirteen days since the court convened, fifty
seven of which they met and transacted
business. The accused will probably be ac-
quilted.
The first specification against Major GEE
was that of violating the laws and customs
of war in not allowing the prisoners to have
sufficient food. shelter and clothing, when
these things could have been easily got, The
prosecution proved the want of these things,
that the prisoners did suffer, as they likewise
proyed the committal of the various acts
set forth in the other charges and speciiica-
lions. But the question was whether Major
GEE was responsible. 1t was proved be-
vond doubt by the defense that he did make
efforts and very strenuous Ones to obtain
water for the prisoners by having wells dug,
and securing the services of an engineer TO
see as to the feasibility Of having the water
of the creek, which ran near by, conducted
through the prison grounds. As for wood,
the NcltllSt lAhAlSil was Il SUI
ticiency of it in the neighborhocd, that he
could not obtain it owing 10 want Of trans
portation, and that the prisoners could not
tote" it, owing to a want Of guards TO ac-
company them.
The second specification Of this charge
was that he did not allow admittance 10 per
sons coming 10 the prison with provisions,
clothing, etc The prosecution showed that
in one or two instances persons coming there
with those things were refused admlttance,
while the defense brought several witnesses
who had been TO the prison with these things
for the prisoners, and had been given every
facility And so the matter stands.
The second charge relates TO the attempt
of the prisoners TO escape, when it is charged
that Major GEE used too much force TO keep
them in, and that many lives were lost I'M
necessarily. But the defense showed beyond
a doubt that this was no slight disturbance"
as in the language of the specification, but
that il was a combined attempt on the part
of the prisoners to effect their escape. That
being the case, il was of course the duty of
Major GEE, rs commandant of the prison,
10 retain them. SO far from using unneces-
sary force, many witnesses testified TO seeing
him on that day, soon after the firing COM
menced, going around the parapet crying
"Stop firing" sad testified to his doing all
in his power to prevent the guard from
kring.
The other charges relate 10 his ordering
