We met John on the stairs. He was car-
rying an old crude to be slowed away n
mong what he termed 1plunder" In tho
lumber-room. One rocker was gone, and
tho wicker work Of the sides broken Il was
an old wiIlowy affair, but we could not re-
frain from casting sad look into its empty
depths.
'Gone," we said, drcamily, "all gonc!"
What golden heads wcre once pillowed
here, heads OH which curls grew moist in
slumber, and the cheeks and lips flushed
to the hue Of rose leaves. When sleep
broke, the silken. .fringcd lids opened henvi-
ly from the slumbrous eyes; smiles fitted
like sunbeams over the face tho white fist
was thrust into the mouth, and when NAM
ma li(led the muslin and peeped In to see if'

out Of pure delight. and kicked OF until
both Of the tiny red shoes were landed at
the foot OF the cradle. Where are those
heads now? Some that werc embrowned
by vigorous manhood are sleeping on battle-
fields; some arc blcachcd with time and
cares and the feet have grown sore aud
weary on the rough paths Of life.
Perhaps some little one moro tcnderly

It grows hearts ease, and the vigorous box,

Gen. James G. Martin was cross examined. On
the order from Richmond for guard for the pr-
son at Salisbury, there was reported from SEQ 10
1000 men; Frceman's battalion and Hoke's regi-
ment was there when he got there. Witness, in
answer TO questions, gave his views in regard to
the number of men necessary to form the regular
guard at the prison. The troops at Salisbury had
no other duty but that connected with eprison;
of the numbers sent there many got sick and
Others went home, so there were never enough to
take ont fatigue parties to cut wood-about 200
men per day reported to Maj. Gee for guard duty,
at first guard was sent with party of prisoners
to cut wood, but afterward the guard got the
wood themselves, prcferripg it to guarding out
prisoners for the purpose-guard had no quarters
while witness was there, except barns and stables.
Witness stated the difficulties that lay in the way
of erecting shelters for the guard or the prisoners;
want of axes and of teams and the distance of the
necessary timbers from the grounds-good teams
were taken from tie Q. M. at Salisbury and brok
en- down enes put in their placc-there was au-
thority by actof Congress to impress teams under
certain circumstances Maj. Gee had not this au-
thority The prison covered land owned by the
government, ucNcT hucw VI duy upPhS"tioh W
enlarge the enclosure beyond the space owned by
the government There was no order to give less
rations to the prisoners than to the guard, that
witness knew of the officer commanding the de-
partmcnt or the staff officers of superior rank had
the command over the commissary and quarter
master of the post; they were not subject to the
control of the officer commanding the troops.
Maj Gee had absolute command only of the de-
tails daily furnished him by the commander of the
troops, and of the officers Immediately connected
with the prison-don't think he had any control
over the surgeons.
Witness, in answer to questions, gave his opin-
ion on several points in connection with the pri
son government, the proper action under certain
contingencies, not varying from what had previ-
ously been elected.
j. Allen Brown, sworn telegraph operator
at Salisbury in 1904 during the time the large
number of prisoners were cre-recollects send
ing telegraphc dispatches to Richmond for Maj.
Gce-these dispatches urged the authorities not
to send prisoners TO Salisbury that they could
not be accommodated these dispatches were sent,
either to Gen. Gardner or to Maj. Andrews, don't
remember ccrtainly-they were very urgent, In
one he said, "For Gods sake do not send any
: more prisoners.n Witness wrote some Of the dis
patches at the dictatian of Maj. Goe.s Prisoners
continued to be sent, notwithstanding these ap-
peals.

"Should Judge Fowle's decision be in ac-

Is the State now in condition to en-
able the Governor to compel a Major
General Of the army of the United
States to do certain thing?
"On last week, ESQ we were informed by
the able and courteous Editors of the Senti-

Ruger, requiring him to produce the body
of Major Gee before Judge Fowle, which the
Military Commander of the Department of
North Carolina refused to Obey, alleging
that he held the prisoner under orders from

We would respectfully and earnestly
call the attention of the Postmaster
General to the want of mail facilities in
this State, and especially to that por-
ton of it lying west of Morganton.---
We learn there is no regular mail to
Asheville, and that the whole region
north, west, and southwest of that place,
which can be reached alone from Ashe-
Vile, is destitute of mails. The same
is true, to a considerable extent, of the
Wilkes and Ashe portion of the State.
In these portions of the State the test
oath is not so much in the way as in
some other portions, for the people as
general rule were more devoted to the
government during the rebellion than
thev were elsewhere. An active, ener-
getic Agent, like DR.. Jobe, if fully au-
thorized to do SO by the department,
could very soon organize the mail ser
vice in the mountain country. Dr.. Jobe
has the advantage also of an intimate
acquaintance with that portion Of the
State, and he would encounter but little
difficulty in finding both contractors
and postmasters who could take the
oath. We know not only the disposi-
ton but the anxiety of Mr.. Dennison TO
extend mail facilities to our people. We
trust his recommendation for the modi-
fication of the test oath so far as con-
tractors and postmasters are concerned,
will be carried out by Congress. We
do not see how that body can reasona-
bly, expect our people to form clear
and intelligent opinion of public affairs
while they are deprived Of the ben
eft of newspapers. The people are re-
quired to submit to the government, and
to such laws as have been, or may be
passed, without knowing what the pol
icy Of the government or what these
hws are. Is this just or reasonable P :
They will probably be called upon to
vote again next August; but how can
it be expected that the great mass of
them will vote understandingly when
they have had no means Of informing
themselves as to the real condition of
public affairs? We are willing to be
governed, but we want the means of
knowing what is required Of us.
