Responsible for their Misery.

The ANDERsoNvILLE PRIsoN-TRe
Southern Side Of the ,Story.-The fol-
lowing extracts is from f. A. Pollard's S
last work, entitled The Lost Cause;
But the history of the Confederate
authorities to relieve the sufferings of
Andersonville, through some presump-
ton of exchanges does not end with
the proposition referred to as made
by Commissioner Ould, TO exchange
men and leave the surplus at the dis
position Of the enemy. 1t was fol-
lowed by another more liberal and
extraordinary proposition Acting
under the direction of the Secretary
of War and seeing plainly that there
was no hope Of any general or extend
ed partial system Of exchange, Com
missioner Ould in August, 1868, offered
to the Federal agent of exchange.
Gen. Mulford, to deliver to him all
the sick and wounded Federal pris-
oners we had without insisting upon
the delivery of any equivalent number
of our prisoners in return. He also
informed Gen Mulford OF the terrible
mortality among the Federal prison
ers, urging him TO be swift in sending
transportation to the mouth of the
Savannah river, for this the purpose of
taking them away. The offer of Com
missioner Ould included all the sick
and wounded Andcrsonville and all
other Confederate prisoners, held by
the Confederates.
lie further informed Gen Mulford
in order TO make the Government safe
in sending transportation, that if the
sick and wounded did not amount TO
ten or fifteen thousand men, the Con
federate authorities would make up
that number in well men. The offer,
it will be recollected, was made early
in August, 1868. Gen. Mulford informed
Commissioner Ould that it was direct
ly communicated TO his Government,
yet no timely advantage was ever
taken of it,
This interesting and important fact
is for the first time authoritively pub
lished in these pages. 1t contains
volumes of significance. The question
occurs who was responsible for the
sufierings of the sick and wounded
prisoners at Andersonville, from Au-
gust 1868 to 1861 The world will
ask with amazementifit if it was possible
that thousands Of prisoners were left
to die in inadequate places of conine
ment merely to made case against
the South-merely for romance. The
sing lie fact gives the clue to the whole
story of deception and inhuman cruel
ty of the authorities at Washington
with reference to their prisoners of
war-the key to a chapter of horrors
that even the hardy hand of history
shakes TO unlock.

As BROAD AS LoNG.-Thc Radicals

Let them answer whether they think
the Northern people should be denied

SHOWER OF MErEoRs.-Next in
grandeur and sublimity to total So
lar eclipse, or great comet stretched
athwart the starry heavens is a great
meteoric shower, such as was witness
ed here on the 18th of November.
1888. On this occasion, from two
o'clock till bright daylight, the sky
being perfectly serene and cloudlcss,
the whole heavens were lighted with
a magnificent and imposing display
OF celestial fireworks This display
was seen all over North America. A
similar display was seen by Humboldt
at Cumana, South America. in 1899.
A comparison Of the epochs of the ap-
pearanee of these great showers has
led TO the discovery that they are
periodic, their returns being separted
from each other by third part Of a
century, or some multiple of this
period, and are periodical appearances
OF one grand rhetorical shower Pro
fessor Newton, Of Yale College, who
has devoted much time to the investi-
cation of the periodic character of
these showers, finds that prodigious
flight of fmeteors, the most imposing
Of its kind, will make its appearance,
probably for the last time il this cen
tury, on the morning of the 18th or
l4th OF November next. Only thir-
teen ofthese great showers are record
ed between 903 and 1888. Such a
rare phenomenon awakens a deep in
terest among all classes of persons.
Preparations to observe this sublime
spectacle, for scientific purposes, have
already commenced in Europe Let
no one forget Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights, November 18th and 14th.

Yankee Peddlers.

Wherever one goes he meets the

kind on other If he has not patent,

They are almost to man political
fanatics and abolition emisaries. They
are generally blessed with "open
countenances' and great deal more
impudence than is necessary to see
honeFt men through the world. Mod
esty'ihAa man they interpret to be
ignorance. They never sit in back
seat if front one can be had short of
2 fight. They can always be heard,
and you meet them, whether in the
cars, IN stage or at hotel, you are
always saved the trouble TO inquire
who they are, what their business is,
and more especially uhere they are
from. Should he be from Bosting, all
bis comparisons and illustrations will
be founded upon this, that, and the
other thing, event, circumstance, con-
dition, or affair in Boston. He de-
lights to chime in the name Of Boston,
and will tell you Of many things
"down in Boston where live" 1t is
the hub Of the universe to him, and
his selfconceit and vanity cling around
it as do flies around a sugar bowl
But while his business ostensibly is
to sell pot-lid lifters or Greeley's Con-
fict Of the American war, he takes
advantage Of his leisure moments to
spout politics, on the grand-moral-
idea basis, for the enlightenment of
the Dutch and benighted sons Of
Pennsylvania or some other region
outside the Paradise Of Yankeedom.
lie believes in impartial suffrage and
has an admiration for the beauties Of
miscegenation. He is a great stick
Ter for right and Justice, though he
has cheated twenty honest and un-
suspecting men or women every day
since he left New England, the Pan
dora Box of this continent; and when
he again gets "down TO hum" he will
tickle all his relations and other thieves
of bis neighborhood with his exploits
among the d-d Dutch and tell bow
he fleeced them.
We respect any honest and upright
man from New England Just as much
as any other man, but we despise the
Yankee peddlers with their pot-lid
lifters and their internal mean and
lying literature. We want none of
their literature. We have had too
much of it. The country has been
ruined by it, aud it is time now that
all sensible men shut down on Yankee
literature, Yankee agents and Yankee
peddlers. To Democrats, then, we
say: Patronize these Gains and won
dering vagabonds no more, but let
them stay at home and make an hon
est living by tilling their barren hills
or catching Goldfish, or let them settle
among us, pursue an honorable pro
fcssion or occupation and mind their
own business.

BEGGING IN TIE STREETS.-The peo-
pie who stand in the streets arc daily
beset by children begging for money to
buy bread or something else. 'Barefooted
boys ask for money to purchase shoes.
They receive more or less, and would
perhaps get still more if those disposed
to give knew that they were really
needy. 1t is shame that our streets
and public places should exhibit chill
dren begging for bread and clothing. 1t
is disgrace. 1t is demoralizing, and it
is humiliating to our people. Ought not
the poor authorities TO provide from the
public funds against this want' The
police should at once take these children
to the Overseer of the Poor, and he
should supply their wants and draw
upon the public in a legitimate way for
the cost. Street begging is an evil too
great to be tolerated in this country
and this age. We believe that the cit
liens of Wheeling pay annually enough
into the Poor Fund to provide for the
poor. The Benevolent organizations do
a great deal beside. Street begging is
uncalled for, and the practice ought to
be abolished; not by turning away the
destitute, but by making suitable pro-
vision for all from the fund raised for
that purpose. The poor we always
have, and the poor we should take care
of in proper manner without sending
them into the streets to solicit aims of
citizens and strangers. We do not
write this to advise any one to turn q
deaf ear to appeals for charity, but to
induce the authorities to take hold of
the matter and see that the wants of
each beggar are supplied, if needy, and
to stop begging by these who are not
really needy.

going to the mills or shops to work upon
fabrics, converting the raw material in
to manufactures to bring wealth to the
city, but they are going to labor at the
work Of erecting new store rooms and
residences. The streets may be torn up
and partially obstructed for time, but
there is a bright day ahead.
