The Number Excluded,

The National intc!iiyenccr has the follow
ing article on this subject:
Tho Northern papers arc specializing
about the number Of persons excepted by
the recent proclamation Of ,hc President,
Upon inquiry, we find that there is no sa-
tlstuctory data upon which to found O. def

Guished radicals namely, Messrs Reagan,

thirty Mai Generals, are excluded from
amnesty by the express terms of tho pro.
clamnlion, and remain unpardoncd indivi-
dually. If the language employed in the
proclamation, however shall be held to in-
ch,bc brigadicrs with the rank Of MAJOR

the extent of several hundred There were

More Botheratiou.

The following article, which professor of
literature might call an example of the roll
licking sarcastic style, is from the New York
Tribune:
The readers of history will join with us
in declaring that there are myths and both
erations enough already in the chronicles of
our race. Even before the present year of
our Lord, there was the Wandering Jew,
Pope Joan, Perkin Warbeck, The Man in
the Iron Mask, the Chevalier Eon, The
Man in the Claret- Colored Coat, the Man
who Struck Mr. William Patterson, The
Man who Read Cooper's "Mannikins, :"
while in 1867 came Mr. McGinnis and Mr..
McCracken to increase the mysterious list
1t is known that in accordance with our duty
as public journalists, we inquired, advertised,
and in all ways sought for specific informa
ton requesting the last. named outrageous
worthless, but nothing came of it except an
intensiication of the muddle. While we
were resting from our labors, as we weep to
say. the President has started, in what is
called his "speech," in Baltimore on the
2Sth ult., another personal and biographical
puzzle. He said g Let me appeal to you
in the language of the ship,wrecked mariner.
Cling to the Constitution as the last plank
the tempest may close around you p" We
do not deny the elegance, and the morality,
and the wisdom of this sentiment, considered
as a sentiment. We have never, it is true,
found ourselves upon the dark pillows, with
but one plank between us and destruction
but our honest opinion is that under such
damp circumstances, the best thing a man
can do is to cling to a plank, always pro-
IL C. |, - IL, l,4
why "a shipwrecked mariner" bobbing
about in quest Of board, with his mouth
sure to be filled with salt water if he opens
it, should make speech concerning the
Constitution" is little more than we can
comprehend If he must be loquacious at
such an awful moment. he should either say
his prayers or sing out for assistance. Ac-
cording to Mr.. johnson, there was once .
patriotic tar, who being in briny extremity
said: "Cing to the Constitution as the
last plank of liberty, though the darkness
of night and the tempest may close around
you ~ Now we want to know why the
name of this brave and eloquent Sinba6 was
not given. No naval individual, so thorough
ly devoted, in the water, to the land of his
birth, should continue anonymous. 1t would
be an act of crying injustice to the amphi-
Bluff, who "cried out avast! And the
colors of America he nailed to the mast
And he died like a true Yankee sailor !''-
Here is greater than Mr.. Bluff who just
before he went down to the sharks, in the
very worst possible weather, the stars OBJ
scured, the wind blowing gale, and the
Lively Sally gone to the bottom, sung out
ceiling to the Constitution" Was it the
Captain, or the Mate, or the Cook, or the
Cabin Boy IL Mr.. Johnson mentioned
the particulars privately to anybody in Bal
timore, we should be willing to pay hand
somely for them with view to publication.

Gorham and Stanly.

In his Oakland speech, Gov. Gorbam
= went after" that military imbecile, Gov.
Stanly. IN very pungent manner, to paw
MN OF for his senseless rodomontade con.
eernlng Gorham, which appeared in the
Bulletin few days since. We quote from
the bulletins report:
This Stanly, with whom he (Gorham) had
an ordinary acquaintance, and between
waom and the speaker there had never been
any hard feelings, came into his, the speakers
once, one day, and a conversation somewhat
to the following effect ensued
" 'aanly-What do your party intend to do
IN regard to the South, Mr.. Gorham?
4" Gorham-They must organize under the
Reconstruction Act and accept the Constitu-
tlonal Amendment, and then we'll admit
them to Congress.
Stanty-But thot'= the very is;tel !. sus
pose they don't adopt these things?
" Gorham-Then they will obtain no rep
resentation and not be admitted to the Flee
toral College. They can stay out until they
all die OFT, and the next generation of the
North and the next generation of the South
can settle it; if they won't submit, then they
can wait for that generation to die out and
see what the third will do.
NaRty-Not the Electoral College
You did not mean the Electoral College?
" Gorham-That is Just what | mean.
" Stanly-That would mean civil war.
" Gorham-Of course it does but, if /
remember rightly, in the late civil war, it
was not US that were whipped.
" &dnty-Dearl dear never knew such
a violent man never met man with such
extreme views
. Gorham-Of course not you never look
ed for them. tell you, sir, the North does
not mean to conciliate the South. The North
is not going with her sugar plums and candy
to ask the South to be friends. The North
is seriously angry, and the South ought to
have found it out by this time and the
question is: has the South sense enough to
submit to the strong arm of the North ?''
Then Stanly went away sorrowfully and
Gorham saw him no more.

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS The testimony
taken by the Congressional Committee shows
the following facts, duplicating Davis in the
murder of prisoners:
Colonel Parsons. in his testimony, states
that, moved by desire to mitigate the hard
ships of the place, he ordered several trains
of lumber to build shelters for the prisoners
whereupOn he was removed, and the lumber
used to build quarters outside. but not q
board suffered to go within. The removal
took place Immediately on the arrival of
General Winder from Richmond at his first
visit in June. The prisoners then had been
increased to 10000 (more than thousand to
an acre.
Many witnesses testified to hearing Writ
and Winder say that they were doing more
for the Confederacy than General Lee, and
that they were doing the work expected of
them at Richmond. In August the number
of prisoners was increased to over $4,000,
and Col. Chandler, an officer of the General
Inspectors Department, after reporting the
horrible condition of the prisoners, RECON-
mended the removal of General Winder and
the appointment of some one who does not
advocate deliberately and in cold blood the
proprlety ofleavlng them (the prisoners) in
their present condition until their number
has been sufficiently reduced by death to
make the present arrangements suffice" >
This reached Richmond on the l7th of Au-
gust, and Adjutant General Cooper indorsed
it, The prison is reproach to us as a
nation. Colonel Chandler's recommenda
ton is concurred in" The Assistant Secre.
tary of War also endorsed on the paper
These reports show condition of things
at Andersonville which cali very loudly for
the interpositon of the Department. in order
that change may be made" But after
Davis and his War Minister had consulted
about the matter General Winder, instead
of being removed, was put, by Order No S4,
dated October 2lst, in command of all the
prisous east of the Mississippi, and the work
of starvation and murder went on without
further attempt to stop it to the close of the
rahallinn

A PARTY of we'll known Milwaukee citi-
zens, (says the Wisconsin, thinking to have
a little amusement out of one of the Japanese
party, undertook to get him under the infu-
ence of liquor. They accordingly inveiged
him into the bar-r of the Newhall, and,
calling for sundry drinks, made free with
them themselves, and induced him to drink
also. But they found rather difficult task
before them, for although the Jap drank as
many glasses as his entertainers, he did not
seem TO feel it, while his seducers became
first merry and then boisterous from the
effect of their drinking. At last, when one
after another of the party had got into such
condition as to feel better under the table
than beside it, the Jap left to join his fellows,
with clear head, while the more suscepti-
bic Anglo Saxons went home to sleep and
dream of headaches.

DIVING BELLS AT THE EXPosITIoN.-A
correspondent thus describes the diving ap-
paratus on exhibition at Paris:
As for the diving apparatus, they are here
operated before our eyes. A large tank of
water twenty feet deep and twenty feet diam
eter, with bulls eyes near the ground to look
through, is used for this purpose. We first
mount to the gallery around the top of the
tank, and there we see two men hermeticallv
shut up iu their cuirasses, rolling, tumbling
and piunging about on the top of the water
like porpoises on a spree. Then they make
signs that they are going to plunge to the
bottom, they open a stop cock in bag of air
on their shoulders, and down they 60 to the
bottom. We hurry down the stairs, peep
through the windows, and are startled at
what we see. The water lends a singular
aspect to the submarine monsters as they 90
walking about on the floor of the tank, and
ones memory rapidly recalls all the stories
of the mysterious inhabitants of the bottom
of the sea he has ever read. When the
hideous, unshapen objects, half human,
half animal, approach the windows, making
uncouth signs in the silence of their watery
prison, the refraction of the water behind the
circular glass suddenly developing or dimin.
ishing their forms as they approach or reeede.
The lady visitors scream with fright, and the
gentlemen suddenly find they have seen
enough of the performance. The fact is,
that outside of scientific considerations, no
one can imagine, without seeing it, the
strange effect produced on the beholder by
this strange scientific experiment.

A FARMER in the State of Connecticut has
pair of twin daughters. They both attend
the same school, and not long since one of
them, who is rather averse to studying, was
called up by the teacher to recite lesson in
geography, which she had learned very i'm
perfectly-in fact, she could not 90 on at all.
The teacher was getting out of patience,
when he was called to another part of the
room for a moment. No sooner was his back
turned, when the twin sister sprang to the
floor, unobserved, and pushed the delinquent
pupil to her seat. The teacher returned,
and proceeded with his questions, which
were answered with a degree of promptness
and accuracy which, at the close, drew from
him a few words of commendation. The
joke, however, was discovered next day,
but the teacher thought it too good and sue.
cessful to give occasion for ofense.

A NK-HoLE.-Sometime ago " sink
hole" occurred on the Michigan Southern
Railroad in Northern Indiana. 1t was
about 220 yards long, and in order to fill it
the company have thrown in two acres of
earth, averaging ten feet in depth, three
acres of timber and brushwood the ditchings
and scrapings of fifty miles of railroad track
for about eight years past, the old ties of
about 100 miles of track, and 5000 car
loads of gravel. besides the forty rods of
embaukment from four to six feet high that
was made before the sinking occurred. At
last accounts the hole was about filled up.

A HOME THRusT-Speaking of the Dem
ocratic State Convention, the Marysvile
Appeal goes back to the Copperhead State
Convention of 1861, and quotes the follow
ing from q speech there made by Edmund
Randolph, (since dead):
For Gods sake, gentlemen, tell me of
battles fought and won. Tell me of the
usurpers overthrown that Missouri is again
free State, no longer crushed under the
armed heel of a reckless and odious despot,
Tell me that the State of Maryland lives
again. And, oh, gentlemen, let us hear, at
the first moment, that not one hostile foot
now treads the soil of Virginia. Applause
and cheers. If this be rebellion, then | am
a rebel. Do you want traitor? then | am
traitor For Gods sake speed the ball,
may the lead 90 quick to his heart, and may
our country be freed from this despot
usurper that now claims the name of Pres
ident of the United States. Cheers.
The Appeal then adds
Nineteen of the delegates who were
present at that Convention and cheering
Randolph, were also members of the Conven
ton that nominated Henry H. Haight and
the rest of the Democratic ticket. Dan
Gelwicks, the Democratic candidate for
State Printer. was there applauding him.
1t will be seen that they tbirsted for Presi.
dent Lincoln's blood four years before his
assassination occurred"
