we were not only ready, but anxious
to make this delivery.-It was our
purpose, as well as our offer, to contin-
ue the delivery of the sick and woun-
ded at all the depots of prisoners, and
upon the terms mentioned; that is,
thoutrequiring equivalents. Trans
pOrtation was not sent until December.
The United States authorities brought
in that month some 5000 prisoners to
the mouth of the Savannah River, and
received over 1000 in return, many OF
whom were well men. The 5000 de-
livered presented as melancholya a spec
tacle as AnderSonVille ever disclosed.
Most, if not all of them, had been
brought from Elmira. Some died be-
tween Elmira and Baltimore-many
between Baltimore and Savannah. |
do not believe ten per cent. of the num-
ber are alive now. All these facts are
known to Federal officers. Rebels may
lie, but yet the fact is fully established
by other evidence that the Federal au-
thorities sent 5000 and received 1900.
They would have received more if there
had been accommodation. Why was
transportation sent to Savannah for the
prisoners unless had agreed to deliv-
er them? Why were $4,000 delivered
and only 5000 received if [ insisted on
receiving equivalents? There is moth
ing in the published correspondence re-
ferred to by Gen. Butler which, in any
manner, contests any one of the facts
[ have mentioned. General Mulford
will sustain everything | have herein
written. He is a man of honor and
courage, and, do not think, will hesi-
tate to tell the truth. | think it would
be well for you to make an appeal to
him, as it has become a question of We
racity. Gen. Butler says the PROPOSE
ton was made in the Fall, and that
1000 prisoners were delivered. 1t was
in August, and over $4,000 were de-
livered. If you will get Pollard's
"Lost Cause" and refer to the chapter
on exchange, there you will find the
whole question accurately stated. Ev-
cry word of the chapter is true, so far
as it pretends to give facts. The book
was published by subscription, by
Treat & Co., of New York. You can
make public any portion of this letter.
l defy contradiction as to any state
ment l have made, and challenge scru-
tiny. | will prove every word by
Federal testimony. Who, then, is re-
sponsible for the suffering of Ander-
sonville during the period of its most
deadly mortality, from August to Jan
uary? Yours, truly,

A CALL FOR ENTERPRIsING MEN.
HoPEwELL, BEDFORD Co., Pa,

HOPEwELL, BEDFORD Co., Pa,
June, 26, 1867.
Editors Journal of Mining:
GENTLEMEN Il have frequently
been requested by a number of my
friends to call public attention to this
interesting portion ofour State, through
the medium of your valuable journal,
which has, doubtless, been the instru-
ment through which more true and
valuable information has been impart-
ed to the American public, than perhaps
any other source. Owing, however, to
the rapid and startling events which
have followed each other during the
last five or six years, have, up to this
time, deferred doing so, believing that
the public mind was not in a situation
to calmly look into and examine the
peculiar advantages of any particular
locality of our great mineral State, un-
til the important issues in which we
were involved were properly adjusted.
That time having arrived when the su-
premacy of our government has been
fully established, and the indefatigable
energy, that is characteristic of this
great nation in peace or war, is now
ready to be directed, and is anXiously
inquiring for information as to where
capital and industry can be the most
advantageously employed in develop
ing the hidden resources of our vast
country. 1t is to this class Of our citi-
zens that wish particularly to call at
tentiOn to this hitherto neglected por-
ton of our State, as having all the nat
ural advantages and resources that can
be desired to open up great field of
enterprise, and which must eventually
become one of the most extensive iron
manufacturing districts in the State.
1t has been said "that prophet has no
honor in his own country" the same
may be applied with equal truth to sec
tions of this country, which really
| possesses more wealth than the same
breadth of territory, embracing the
richest gold mines of California. But,
forsome unexplained cause, peculiar
advantages that nature has deposited at
our own doors are overlooked, and the
glittering gold fields of distant sections
of our country are selected by our en-
terprising young men, as the field OF
their future operations, and, in their
haste to make money, they blunder
over the seemingly more humble de-
posits of nature, to which, ifthey could
be attracted, and infuse the same a
mount of energy in developing, would
most assuredIy, in majority ofinstan
ces, find themselves more comfortable
in a pecuniary point of view, and have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
contributed more to the interests O
their fellow-men and their country by
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1867-08-16

No two nations could differ more
widely than do the English and the
Scotch with regard to the choice of
days of the week for marriage. The
Scottish report states that the favorite
day for marriage in Scotland is the last
day of the year, provided it does not
fall on Saturday or Sunday.
No marriages are celebrated on Sun
day in Scotland, while in England it
is the favorite day of the week for
marriage, thirty-two per cent. OF the
marriages being contracted on that day.
Monday is favorite day of the week
i'm both countries, Saturday, in England,
is the third day of the week in order
of selection o! marriage, seventeen per
cent occurring on that day but in Scot
land no true Scot will marry on Satur-
day, nor, indeed, begin any work of i'm
portance. With the Scot, Saturday is an
unlucky day for marriage, and he Is
impressed with a superstitious belief
that if he married on Saturday one OF
the parties would die before theyear eX-
pires, or that, if both survived, the mar
riage would prove unfruitful. Hence
it happens that Sunday and Saturday,
the two favorite days for marriage i'll
England, are blank days for marriage
in Scotland. Friday is the day on
which the English do not marry, but
in Scotland it is one of the favorite
