And strikes the beggar dead to earth!
For every cleaning hall he spares.

Hearts pulsaless, crisp with ice snd cold.

brieade. major of the Military Train, goes out
shortly to alexandria to superintend the trans
mort arrangements. The Indian Government
will send all the troops to be employed from
bombay and it is said squadron Of English
dTagoons, four regiments of native irregular
cavalry and Two batteries of artillery will form
nard ~ tbe expedition; the latter will be armed
with steel rid, ID 7-pound howitzers, which, with
their carriapes .,ud ammunition, are now
being prepared in tie Royal Arsenal at Wool
wich. These guns are S.. ,.UPiied IN 9iocR from
with three grooves on the Woo Vlen system, IN
the gun factories The authoriL.e es are also
looking up some of the old Maltese LNSIbs 10 ne
sentout for transport service with the e-NpeeqqI-
tiOn; but it is to be hoped that these will be
thoroughly tested before being employed, for
their powers of resistance to the rough work
end hot climate of Africa are doubtful. It is
estimated that the troops will have thirty days
march before them when they commence their
up.country journey, and of course they must
take provisions with them, for it is not likely
they can obtain anything in the sterile coun-
try over which they will have to march. The
Indian Commissariat will be intrusted with the
entire charge OF the oommissariat and trans
port department on the march, and IL is ear
nestly to be hoped that the difficulties of the
conveyance of some 1000 men over sandy de-
serts and mountains will not be underrated,
and that no lives may be unnecessarily sacrt-
hced in this Unfortunate expedition, which has
at length been thrust upon the country. The
troops are not likely to be aDle to commence
their march before the early part of December,
and there is just the hope that something may
before that time induce the Emperor Theodore
TO release his prisoners.

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE

The Northern people are exasperated with the
Southern people for the alleged bad treatment
of federal prisoners held by the Confederate
Government, and therefore it is the duty of all
lovers of fair play to assist in showing that the
responsibility does not rest with the Southern
people or their authorities during the war. If
this was done (and it certainly can be) we Go
not believe the North would manifest so much
hatred for the South.
We make the following extract from letter
of Mr. Browne, correspondent Of the New FORK
Tribune who was captured and held by the Con-
federate authorities 10 close confinement over a
year and half. He says:
"Mr Richardson and myself spent nearly a
week in the National capital after our escape
from Confederate prison, endeavoring to do all
that was possible for the release of the brave
men 10 the hands of the enemy; and every one
we met told the same story, that the Secretary
of War (Mr Stanton) was the obstacle in the
way of the resumption of the exchange.
Moreover Gen. Butler, in bis speech at
Lowell, Massachusetts,, stated positively that he
had been ordered by Mr. Stanton to put forward
the negro question to complicate and prevent
the exchange. Col. A. B. Streight of Indiana
polls, Indiana, fellow prisoner with us in the
Libby, told Mr. Richardson, after our return to
rotary and himself, the former declared to him
the Government could not afford to exchange
able men for skeletons. Other officers and
civilians whose names [ cannot now remember,
assured me that he had used to them the same
language in effect; and there is no doubt what
ever that that was his policy and his determine
ton until the clamors of the people compelled
him to retire from his barbarous position
Every one is aware that, when the exchange
did take place, not the slightest alteration had
occurred in the question, and that our prisoners
might as we'll have been released twelve or eigh-
teen months before as at the resumption of the
cartel, which would save to the Republic at least
twelve OF fifteen thousand heroic lives That
they were not saved is due alone to Mr. Edwin
NJ. Stanton's peculiar policy and logged OBJ
stinacy; and as | have remarked before, he is
unquestionably the digger of the unnamed graves
that crowd the vicinity of every Southern prison
with historic and never to be forgotten horrors.
