The Radical Steam Torture Box ut

The Radical Steam Torture Box Mt
a.,2 laf Fort Pulaslki.
We take the following article from
the Macon Telegraph. Such infamy
as it describes, is the natural off.
spring of radical doctrines:
When we repnblished, few days
since, from the. Washington National
Iate1igencer, aistatement, that instru-
mentsi of torture had been applied.
in Fort Pulaski, to the Government
witnesses in the Ashburn case, we
did it entirely upon the responsibility
of that paper, and with an honest in
credulity of the whole thing.
It seemed to us impossible of be-
lief, that torture should be applied to
witnesses in legal or military investi-
cations, under the authority of the
United States Government, in this
the nineteenth century of the Chris
tian era. But incredible as this
horrid stigma upon civilization,
Christianity and republicanism may
appear, we are compelled to believe
it; and that the dungeons of Fort
Pulaski have reverberated with the
half stifed groans and screams of
victims tortured by contrivance
brought there for the purpose, in
order ''to make them tell the truth, "
or, in other words, to give such
testimony as was desired by the
prosecutors.
In conversation with one of the
most eminent citizens of Macon,
yesterday, he assured us that Gen.
Meade explained to him in Atlanta,
week before last, the whole modus
operd,ad5 Of this instrument of tor
ture. Meade described it as O box
sufficiently capacious to admit the
victim, and then arranged for COM
preston by screws, by which force
could be brought upon the prisoner
sufficient to 'tsqueeze the breath out
OF him." 1t was also provided with
o steam apparatus connected with the
throttling box by pipes, and, upon
turning faucet, jets of steam were
thrown in, which added materially to
the anguish of suffocation. This
machine was applied to three of the
witnesses Belts, Marshall and a
negro-with entire efficiency. The
negro gave in, in q moment. and
cried out that he would swear to anv-
thing if they would only let him out
of that box.
The foregoingis the statement of a
leading citizen of Macon-a man
whose word nobody doubts-as to
what was voluntarily said in his
hearing by Gen. Meade himself
Are more words wanted by way of
improvement? Is it possible to add
to the force of the facts themselves
in showing the depth of degradation
to which radical rule has brought the
American Government?

SPECIAL NOTICES.

D NATURE Is THE GREAT PHYST-
CIAN.-This is now admitted, by the me-
d1cal profession, as fundamental princi-
pie of healing science. 1t is wisely
provided by the human economy that
whenever anything is wrong in the physi-
cal system, the natural forces Of the body
are brought to bear to expel the disease.
The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen
the natural powers. This has been kept
in view by the skillful compounders Of
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS,
which operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs of the body. The effect Of this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough to quit drug
ging and try the Bitters, soon feels as if
he had taken new lease OF life, and as he
continues the use Of the article he is over
joyed to find the streams Of health cours-
ing through his frame. It is prepared
with great care, and it's component parts
are entirely vegetable. 1t is free from the
objections 80 often urged against prepara-
tions OF the kind. AS medical agent it
has no equal, while its pleasing flavor and
healthful effects have made it general
favorite. 1t is free from all properties
calculated to impair the system, and it's
operations are at once mild, soothing and
efficient. All who have used Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters attest it's virtues and
commend it to use.
Even those who are in the enjoyment of
perfect health frequently have need to
have recourse to tonics as preventives of
disease. We are never too we'll armed
against the assaults of ''the ills that flesh
is heir to-" In health or sickness this
tonic cannot be taken regularly without
giving vitality and elasticity to the sys-
tenn. July II IF

CURIOUS TELEGRAPHIC PHENOMENON ON
THE MIssIssIPPI-THE THEORY OF SUBMA-
line TRANSMISSION WITHOUT WIREs.-On
cutting the cable it was found that about
four inches of the conducting wire had
been burnt out, and was gone completely.
At times current of electricity passed
through after the burning, and communi-
cation was kept up between Memphis and
Little Rock; then ceasing entirely for q
while, it would again revive, keeping up
This ftful action for some time before its
total suspension. :,
Many theories and surmises are advanced
by the gentlemen connected with the tele-
graph Office here as tothe explanation of this
remarkable fact, the only one of which is
at all satisfactory is that of Colonel Cole
man: That ga slight connection was formed
between the burnt ends Of the conductor by
moisture which had penetrated the cable IN
sufficient quantities to keep up the circuit,
there being a battery on the Memphis end
strong enough to drive the electricity
through at intervals" The question now
naturally suggests itself, cannot some mode
be established whereby communications
can be passed through large bodies OF water
without q cable 1t has been proved IN
this instance that messages passed to and
fro across the Mississippi without metal
connection. Let the scientific work 1t out

THE LONG BRIDGE COMPLETED To-day
the Long Bridge across the Potomac river
will be thrown open to travel, the repairs
which have been in progress for some
months past being completed. The repairs
are very thorough, and the old structure
looks in better condition than for years
past. On the Virginia side new " Howe !"
truss span one hundred and sixty feet long
has been put up, and new oak flooring laid
on all the spans this side. The draw over
the Georgetown channel has been improved
with the addition of modern machinery,
which facilitates the opening and closing of
this immense weight of eighty tons. On the
Washington side several spans have been
entirely rebuilt, and over the channel new
draw of one hundred feet long, with car
riage-way of twenty-five feet, constructed
with single arch on each side, twelve feet
high in the centre, having braces, counter
braces, and vertical iron rods running to
the lower chords. 1t is light in appearance,
but substantial, and built to bear the great
est possible weight, and also the effects of
variable travel. 1t works with pivot and
crank on a centre piece, and can be opened
