An ACT OF JusTIcE.-Many of our
readers will remember that it was report
ed that private Wm. II. Rowley, Company
+, Sth Vt. Reg't, son of Mr.. Horace Row
ley, while in a rebel prison at Salisbury
in 1865, had enlisted in the rebel service
The truth in relation to his supposed de-
sertion as set forth by the sworn deposit
ton OF the orderly sergeant of his COM
pany, f. b. Wright, who was fellow
psisoner with young Rowley, is that the
latter was very much enfeebled by dis
case, exposure and starvation, and that he
with others was offered better food and
treatment and release from loathsome
prison pen if they would engage in
work for the rebels. That Rowley and
some of his comrades Wright among
them to save life, went out to labor, but
the change from starvation diet to strong
food was too much for Rowley's enfeebled
frame, and soon after eating he was taker
to the hospital, and twenty minutes latel
was corpse. That he did not enlist il
the rebel service nor take the oath of al
legiance to the Confederacy. In accord
