THE REBEL PRISONERS AT EIMIRA.--A

THE REBBI. Prisoners AT EIMIRA.-A
paragraph has been going the rounds
of the Republican press as follows:
From the records of the Elmira prison,
which were taken to Washington for use in
the Surratt trial. it is found that during the
spring of 1865, 5,025 rebel prisoners were con-
fined there during that time. and that only SIX
deaths occurred in three months.
The Elmira Gazette corrects this state
ment, and gives the figures to prove
its falsity. That paper has taken pains
to ascertain the facts, and finds that OF
the number confined at that place dur
ing the spring of 1865, viz: 5.025, there
were during the three months Ss4
deaths-a slight discrepancy OF S7s!
In March, the number of deaths was
495; in April 265; in May 1874; making
n total of Ss4. And if February was
included, which gives 426 more, the
total for the four months will be 81!
Much has been said concerning the
mortality Of Union soldiers in Southern
prisons, but such record as this SHOULD
awaken inquiry at home.-Abany { n.
y Alyas.

CHR1srlANIrY AND IrsAssAILANTs. -Dur-
ing the. eighteen hundred years of the
existence Of the true religion under the
phase of Christianity, it has been at
tackled continuously and upon all sides
with the vain hope of finding a vulner-
able point in which it could be assailed
and it's vitality destroyed. The early
prosecutions under Nero and the Ro-
man emperors but revealed it's wonder
full cohesive power and strengthened
the love Of Jesus followers for Him and
for each other. All schisms and apos-
tacies have merely refined the gold from
the dross, and left true Christianity
stronger than before. The attacks of
modern times have Jared no better.
Paine's Age Of Reason and the works of
Voltaire are nearly forgotten, except as
literary curiosities. Ever and anon
some new attack is heralded with great
clangor of trumpets, as were the LIFE
of Jesus by Strauss, and that by Re-
nan, but they all meet the same fate
are read, exert their little influence for
evil and are lost in oblivion. Christian
ity is the stronger for these attacks
which serve only to show wherein its
defenders have failed on presenting its
wondrous life-giving truths. As lion
rouses himself and shakes off the even
ing's dew, so Christianity is stronger,
purer, and more aggressive to-day than
if Renan, Strauss, ct i'd genus on,,ae, had
never made their vain attempts at its
life.
