The \. Y. Evening Post. in Il recent
article discourscs at considerable length
upon the importance OF the carrying
trade from the great west to the sea
board:

spirit that cannot fail to accomplish I'M
portant results.
Portland is already the most cunven-
lent seaport for Montreal and all Lower
Canada, and the completion of the pro
vinciaI road from Qnebtc to Halifax is
not likely to alter their relation. But
now Portland is about to strike out di-
rectly for the west by new road, to rim
through Crawtord's Notch in the White
mountains, cross the Connecticut river It
st. John,bury and thence to Montpelier
There it will connect with the Vermont
Central railroad and so with O5,lcnsbur-
and Lake Ontario. by another route il
is proposed to reach the same lake a

ninety miles nearer to Portland than it T.
now by the Grand Trunk. Ii Is ever
suggested that lake shore railroad from
O>wcgO 70 Niagara Falls will strengthen
the competition with the New YorE

How soon or how rapidly these enter

naturally lead TO the investment of larg,

public WAS safe in the hands of the men

The 4ndersOnriIle Prisoners.

A medical work now in course OF pub
LEGATION in New York embodies some IN
formation on this still painful topic,
which cannot be without interest 1t
appears that DIR. Joseph Jones OF Au-
gusta, Ga, was deputed by the Rich
mond authorizes to 90 to Andersonville
and examine into the condition OF the
Federal prisoners. His report IN manu-
script has been read by the author OF the
publication referred to above, who gives
extracts from it. DR.. Jones, writing on
the 10Th of October, 1864, says there were
at that time more than five thousand Sc
riously sick in the hospital and stockade,
and the deaths ranged from ninety TO one
hundred and thirty each day Since the
establishment of the prison, on the 24th
of February, 1864, over ten thousand
Federal prisoners mad died that is, near
one-third of the entire number had per-
ished in less than seven months. lie
states that he made a careful examlna-
ton Of the grounds, of the water and OF
all the other features of the prison. In
reference to the terrible effects OF hospital
gangrene he says:
More than thirty thousand were
crowded upon twenIy-seven acres OF land,
with little or no shelter from the intense
heat of Southern summer, or from the
rain and dew. with course corn bread
from which the husk had not been re-
moved, with scant supplies OF fresh meat
and vegetables, with little or no atten-
ton to hygiene, with fostering masses oil
filth at the very doors of their rude dens
and huts with the banks of the stream
flowing through the stockade 4 filthy
quagmire of human eXcrements alive
with working maggots, generated by
their own filthy eyhalatlons and eIcre-
tions an atmosphere that So deterlorated
and contaminated their solids and fluids,
that the slightest scratch on the surface,
and even the bites of small insects, were
frequently followed by such rapid anu
extensive gansrene as to destroy eAtreml'
ties, and even life Itself.
After this statement OF 4 rebel surgeon
it will be in vain for the Richmond gov.
ernment," 50 called, or their advocate:
or apologists, TO seek 10 explain away
their responsibility for the diabolica
treatment of the Federal prisoners Tina

will be regarded, however. as consistent
that conspirators in behalf OF human
bondage should treat their capilvcs witt
a barbarity which belongs only 10 tia
age OF slavery The lesson though re
pulsivc and >.,ddening, is vet too Si@niii

An OLD VoTER.-Capt. DAWN Hink-
ley of Livermore, Androscoggin Qate Ok
ford county, Maine, rode SIX miles on
Monday, the 9th day of this month, and
voted for Gen. Chamberlain for Govern
Or. Capt. lIlnkley was born in 1865,
and is therefore, one hundred and two
years of age. He voted for Gen. Wash
ington for the first president Of the Uni
ted States, and has voted for president AT
every election since that time. We pre-
sumo there is not another such instance
on record. He hopes, he says, to live
to vote for Gen. Grant for president in
1868, and he will then have voted for
him who founded, him who liberated,
and him who saved the Republic-Wash-
ington, Lincoln and Grant.

An officer of General Grants staff re-
lates a conversation which he had with
the General a few days ago, wherein the
General remarked concerning the talk of
making him President, that she would
not be President of the United States if
the opportunity were offered; that he
was no politician that he hated poll
tics: that, 50 far as reputation and hon
or was concerned, he thought he ought
to be satisfied with what he already en-
Joyed ; that holding the office Of Presi-
