One Hundred Thousand Deaths from
Starvation i'm Algeria.
A letter from Paris, dated January 5th,

"A letter 1roln Idr1S, dated january 0Ln,
says:
THE poorer class are now undergoing
tremendous sufferings, not only in France,
but in Algiers In that colony, accord
ing to the archbishop of Algiers, the Arab
population are dragging out an existence
of misery-feeding like animals, on the
foliage Of trees, wandering almost naked
writes Mouseigneur) along the roads,
awaiting, in the neighborhood Of cities
and villages, for the emptying Of house
hold refuse, toquarrel over the filthy re-
mains. To these starving, nay, dying
tribes, nothing that can be devoured is
repulsiye So desperate in their cond-
ton [ translate the archbishop's words
that they actually dig up the carcasses OF
animals that have died of disease.
A heap of ten or twelve bodies of dead
Arabs lying by the roadside is no uncom-
mon spectacle When these poor men
feel the approach Of death-the slow and
horrible death of fauline-they do not
complain they stretch themselves near
some roadside, cover themselves as they
can with the wretched rags they may
possess, and their faces, await the last
hour, murmuring the name of Allah !
It is thus they died of cholera all last
summer; it is thus they die now Of hun
ger, literally mown down by this plague.
Calculations which are not exaggerated
bring the number of the victims within
the last six months to above one hundred
thousand"

A GENERAL S0yIRM.

The Madison JOuraaj says: The cop
perhead element in the Assembly was
thrown into a general condition of con-
tortion, squirm and wliggle this morning
by Mr. Dodge's resolutions on the sub
ject of having the records OF the Wan
Department at Washington so corrected
that every faithful Union soldier, who,
by some clerical blunder OF mistake, has
been returned to that Office and enrolled
there as deserter, may be enabled to
have his name erased from the list OF
dishonor This State last year obtained
. transcript Of the names Of It's cit.Eens
recorded in the war Office as descrters,
and from that list it appears that the
official record at Washington does injus-
tice to many of our citizens and to some
gallant and honorable soldiers. What is
true in regard to Il isconsin is doubtless
true Of other States 1t was unavoidable
that many errors In the returns OF army
officers on this subject should occur; and
it suits the purpose Of CoDperhead poll
ticians to represent those errors as com
nitted by the Republican party. and to
characterize the procuration and publica-
ton of the list for this State as an outrage.
The pamphlet published by the State,
giving list Of the names Of citizens OF
the State, who are recorded in the offieia,
archives of the Government as deserters,
is, in Copperhead parlance, styled the
regency pamphlet, " and the "blue
pamphlet" and is stigmatized as libel
Gus partizan production. Now we think
that whatever wrong is done to any mar
incorrectly reported as a deserter was done
by the officer who made the error, al
though, in many, and probably most
instances, the officer acted in good faith.
We should Judge that any sensible man,
wrongly reported as a deserter. would
feel sensitive, not so much on account OF
the publication Of a transcript OF the
official record, as at having his name IL
the official record as deserter. The
names in what is called the blue pamph-
let, are the names that stand recorded al
Washington as deserters. Now the Re
publicans in toe Legislature propose
| passing resolutions calling upon the au
| thorities at Washington to adopt measures
| to facilitate a correction in eases where
| the list, whether of citizens of this or Of
other states. does injustice to any citizen.
| The proposition is SO just that it seems
almost incredible thatany opposion should
| be made to it. Yet it was met with Z
bitter partisan opposition by the Demo
cratic members OF the Assembly. The
fact that they uniformly treated it as
| applying to the ''blue pamphlet" instead
of applying, as it does, to the origina
list in the War Department, clearly de
monstrated that their motives were no.

fessed. They probably dislike the reso
