All who lost friends at Elmira Prison
during the war, and wish to get informa-
ton respecting their bodies, the chances
and charges tor removing, ETC., can do
so by addressing Mr.. R. A. Harrison, of
Sparta, Georgia, at Elmira, New York.
Mr.. H., went North last winter to look
after the bodies of prisoners, and goes
now to remove them.
AT Elmira Cemetery, he noticed that
most, perhaps all the Southern States are
represented, and knowing from pressing
inquiries received, that many would
gladly hear respecting the bodies OF
friends, he promises to answer all letters
and inquiries which may be sent to him,
at Elmira, by the 10Th of October, He
is making special arrangements with
railroads and transportation companies,
and will be prepared, on arriving at Ell
mira, to let those interested know the
least cost for removing a body. Mr..
Harrison makes no charges for his SER
vices, and will be glad to assist in re-
moving Confederate dead from Elmira.
The graves are we'll marked, and dead
bodies can be identified. Persons will
please enclose stamp to pay return pos
tagc.
All railroads, transportation compa-
mics, and others granting favors, will be
literally noticed by the Southern Press.

VGEN. PIKE, at recent democrat.

VGEN. PIKE, at a recent democrat
ic meeting in St. Louis, Missouri, spoke
of the great Southern blunder. He on
" proclailns himself one of that small
class of Southerners, who, in 1860 were
blessed or cursed with common sense:
eff he had had his way, the Confed-
crate States never should have been
called the Confederate States, but they
should have called themselves the Uni
ted States, and claimed they alone were
traitors to the Constitution who were
endeavoring to subvert that Constitu-
ton; they shouldhave kept the old flag,
and then if the Northern troops had
fired into their bosoms they should have
fred into that flag slso."

THE Courier says . the Radicals are
sadly demeralized by the result Of the
election in this State We presume
it was through fear of the d~emoraliza-
ton which would follow victory that
induced the Democrats to prefer de-
feat. That the Republicans are sadly
demoralized is evident from their
smiling faces, congratulatory expires
sions and miscellaneous hand-shaking
when they meet each other on
the street. It is still further
apparent in their enthusiastic
ward meetings and the spirit with
which they propose TO prosecute
the campaign, until, on the Sd OF NO
vember, they antitype the Appomat-
tox Apple Tree by Witnessing the
surrender or capture of the entire
Democratic party. Indeed, the de-

Extensive Smuggling Operations
Brandy Found tz Flour Barrels.

Special Despatch TO The Epestn9 Telegraph.
New YORK, Aug. Fifteen barrels of fish
oil from Canada were seized on Tuesday last
by the U. s. Government revenue Off cials at
No. 126 Maiden lane, which contained two five
gallon tin cans of Hennessy brandy in each
barrel. 1t is now ascertained that til lis is but
small portion of smuggled liquor that has been
recently received in like manner in this city.
1t is now known that at least 5000 barrels of
oil that have been received here within the last
few months have contained this fine brand of
brandy. 1t is also reported that thirty thou
sand barrels of Canadian flour containing
like amounts of this brandy have been at differ
ent times forwarded TO parties in this city. The
Custom-house detectives are now endeayoriug
to investigate the matter and ascertain to whom
the property was consigned. They are very
rsticent about the facts of the case reaching the
public. The goods seized so far have no mark
by which the consignees or consignors can be
determined. The packages were found in the
storehouse above mentioned. The only portion
OF the property so far secured by Government
officials was the fifteen barrels; all the rest was
disposed of before the officers got wind of the
smuggling. 1t Is estimated that the Govern
ment has in this manner been defrauded out of
many thousands of dollars in duties.

lnH nara NauAens
Mr.. r. 7. Merritt, OF Washington, replies to
General Buffers card, in which the latter said
the Baltimore suits were brought by John Sur
rats attorney" Mr.. Merritt says:-
Some of the friends of Surratt, and one
Of the members of his family, on two or three
occasions informed Mr.. Bradley and myself that
1t had been indicated to them that Mr.. Butler
would assist in the trial of the case If agreeable
TO ne. We evaded the subject, for we desired
TO avoid the necessity of determining the ques-
tion 1t presented. Some four or five weeks
after these suggestions had been first made to
us, and when ] supposed we should hear
no more of them, Mr. Bradley informed me he
had had an interview with the sister OF John II.
Surratt, in which she stated to him that pro.
position to assist in the trial had been sub
mtted 10 her by Mr.. Butler, through mutual
tTiend-a gentleman well known in Washington
city, and that she was so solcitous upon the
subject, that 1t could be no longer evaded, and
q definite answer was necessary. l replied that
II compelled TO give an answer, there was but
one we could give; that If the friends OF Surratt
and the family we're willing to acquesce in Mr..
Buffers desire to try the case | would gladly
retire from 1t in his favor, but that could not
consent to the personal and professional degra-
dRtion of being associated with such man.
Mr.. Bradley agreed that the manner Indicated
was the only manner in which either of us
could with proper sefIespect treat the subject
and wrote Miss Surratt accordingly. The
family Of the accused aud his immediate
friends, acting in his behalf, refused to allow
either MIR. Bradley or myself to withdraw, and
Mr.. Butler did not participate in the trial.
