TREATMENT OF WAR PRISONERS.

The Boston Courier editorially states the
following: f7o 1fa
The statement of Mr. Oald, in reference to
Confederate prisoners delivered at the mouth
of the Savannah river, recalls a narrative
made to us several years ago, upon the most
unqnestionabp authority. 1t is to this effect,
that the commander of one of the large trans
ports employed by the Government of the
United States. proceeded, under instructions,
to Fort McAlister, to transfer some nine hum
dred Confederate officers and soldiers to, Hill
ton Head: that upon taking them on board,
there were not any two of the number whom
he could not have carried in his arms, like in
fants, such was their wasted and miserable
condition; that upon inquiry, he was informed
that they had been fed ON nothing, for months,
but half pint Of raw corn and small al
ioFdRce of aratcr; that the commandment at the
Fort said such pere his orders. The first
Colonel in command, who received these or
ders, Informed Stanton that he could not COM
ply, and another was substituted for him.
The humane officer at once provided them tea
and necessary food, and did his best to make
them as comfortable as possible; but many
died on the passage, On arriving at Hilton
Head and delivering up his charge, heiwas
told the commander at that Fort had the same
orders in regard to supplying the prisoners
with food; but stated. that ii either OF them
had the means of purchasing .better fare, it
might be done; and Colonel of the party
drew for FIVE thousand dollars on New York,
and by this means their sutferings were allevi-
ated. This Colonel told our informant after
wards, that he had thus furnished SE2,OOO,
and every cent of it, he knew, would be repaid
This statement has never, TO our knowledge,
| ~ peared in print before; but the present oc-
clsinn is.a suitable one to produce it. 1t can
easily be verified if disputed. We had leave
to make it knowni but We thought it would
be of no avail in the condition of public sentl-
ment at the time. A better opportunity is
now offered, and we think the people ought to
know by whose orders it was, that the Con-
tederate prisoners were kept on half a. pint of
raw corn and pint of water day.

The North Star State has done nobly.
The majority for Grant and Colfax will
he from $4,000 to $4,000. What is a
chief glory, is that the Impartial Sui
ftaee amendment has been adopted BY
a handsome majority. Not only have
" gwen glorious Republican victory,
but have taken the hiehsst stand in
vindieation of our principles. Equal
rights 70 al men Is an established fact
in M,onesota.
In the Fist District Mr.. Wilkinson
i elected BY large majority.
In The Second District the vote is
stil close between Nj. Donrelly aud
Capt. Wilson. Gen. Andrews is ,ur-
ming 80 much behind that bis vote is Of
no consequence so far as his prospect
are concerned, and only affect as they
draw from the Republican candidate.
Yesterdays St. Paul Pioneer says:
Tho Unexpectedly largeHmajorities for
Grant and Colfax, and the fact that Mr..
Doonelly has drawn q large number of
Democratic votes have endangered if not
defeated Wilson's election. Mr.. Dcnnelly Is
friends claim his election by from 500 to
1000 majority. We do not concede these
figures, and think it very probable tina,
Wilson is elected.
If the bottom has fallen out o.
the Andrews movement to any great extern

the Northern part Of The District, Donnell,

Wilson's election, We hardly feel justified

A SOUTHERN INVITATION.

While the South is languishing for
capital and enterprise, while what 1t
moet needs is an infusion of that ener-
~ and lndomitable perseverance which
oharaeterise the Northern people, its

ton. Instead Of presenting induce
mspts for new corners to make their
homes with them and revive trade, they
throw every impeachment 10 their way.

pie sre the welcome extended ~ those

southern land.
The Mobile Register Of Oct. oath,
in IN artisle addressed to "The Colored

people who had settled there, IS ''scal-
lawagp," "earpetbaggers," "thieves,"
IT,, concludes with the following:
Let he eolorsd man stand aside until
this contest for the mastery Of this land is
seeded. He saa gain nothing but risk
much and less much BY taking part in it.
Stand sloof, black man, and then join and

STEARNs COUNTY.

Sufficient returns, given elsewhere,
have been received to show that the en-.
tire Democratic ticket has been elected
BY = decided majority. This election
serves 70 again demonstrate that the
Democracy Of Stearns county are thor
oughly welded to their idols. Mr..
PinueJ made gallant fight, and it was
believed that the people, without re-
gard to party, would be so forcibly
struck BY the contrast between him and
his opponent, that his election would
b certain. But q result 20 much to
be desired for the benefit of our local
Iiateresta ~ sacrificed to mere party
nsme.
Mr.. Gowdy is also defeated, because
the people did not know, or would not
appreciate, their own interests. 1t will
be seen that Mr.. G.. made the best run
in his own home, which is flattcrine
testimonial to his worthiness.

she crowned the bride with golden
coronct, aud presented golden en-
blem to the bridegroom. The pages
we're the grandson and granddaughter
Of the bridal couple. At the conclu-

a wreath Of garlands at the feet Of the
bride and bridegroom. One represent
ed "Trutb; = another "Charity,' anoth-
er"Temperancc," another America"
another ."Africa,' another "Switzer-
land,'' and the last "Gcrmany"-
"America" alluded to the sacrifice
these parents had made in sending forth
their youngest: born, who fell MORALLY
wounded at the battle OF Gettysburg.
"Africa" was represented by-a young
colored gill; who spoke: Of the services
the. venerable couple had rendered to
her race in assisting to abolish slavery.
*"Tcmperanoe" spoke of their devotion
to. that cause, and concluded by drink
ing their health in goblet of pure wa
ter. !"Switzerland" and "Germany"
