VERMONT ANSCRIPT. FEBRUARY 1869

The Tijuno's Washington corrcspon-
dent says that the vo ume comprises the
names of those who died rs prisoners Of
war i'm the hands Of the Rebels during
the months of October and November,
1864, at the prison commonly known az
the Mllen prison. The cemetery to
which those bodies have been transfer
red (toge.Ler with others from General
Thomas's army who fell in sSirmishes
near this lace), is located about one
mile west Of the Savannah and Augusta
Railroad, and about half n mile from the
stockade. 1t is securely inclosed, the
graves are tast:Cully arranged in sections
aud marked by head boards. The most
interesting feature of this prison (as be-
ing in marked contrast with tn 1t at
Andersonville), is the abun liant supply
of pure cod water. f. r.y in the Fall OF
1861, the Rebel authorities had CON-
menced the removal of the Anderson
vile prisoners 20 this place. About seven
thousand ha been thus rem )ve1 ut the

During thu W. months that this prison
was occupied there had occurred seven
hundred aud twenty-five deaths, OF
which number four hundred and nine
ty-one bodies were buried in three
trenches near the railroad, and two hun

UNEXPECTED DISCLOSURES. We find
the following in the Washing ton cor
res, ondence of the s ~:
The senate Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia have had occasion for
some days to take testimony upon the
question of the loyalty during the war,
OF CorcOran, the banker. Yesterday a
discharged Union soldier testified that
he was in the employ of MIR. Stoekl in
July. 1861 he was waiting at Iii nnel
party, ut which were present Mr.. Cor
coran and Senator Bayard the latter
l. marked that he would give $4,000
to any man who would put Mr.. Lincoln
under the gro md Mr.. Corcoran said
he would give 100000 himself to see it
done. The witness underwent rigorous
cross examination by Senator N.ckers,
but he told plain and plausible story.
The Committee then called MIR. StocKl's
steward, who has been in the employ OF
the Russian Embassy for about forty
years, and he was asked what he heard
Of, or knew, about the alleged CONVEX
satiOn. lie at Cnce refused to answer

Congressman, once shot and killed al

fused to 90 Oh the stand and testify
pleading his privilege" and Herbert

STRAWBERRIES BY MEASURE. The
Common Councils of several cities have
decided that all who sell strawberries
must offer them in boxes which have
been sealed by the city sealer. The
action is wise. and might be adopted
with profit in Elizabeth. This move
ment is to protect the public The
boxes and baskets which have lately
come into use, and which purport to
hold q quart, contain scarcely more
than pint. By the use of bottoms
set half way up the box, and other de.
vices, the purchaser is defrauded of
nearly one half of that for which he
pays. 1t is true that berries are sold
by the box, and nothing is said about
the quantity that the box contains, but
each of these boxes is supposed to con-
tain quart. There is no reason why
fruits should not be sold by measure or
weight as well as other articles that are
susceptible of being measured or weigh
ed. No one could think of purchasing
tea, coffee, sugar or butter by the boxs
full, irrespective of weight, Or grain,
without regard to measure.

BEE, A young man named Gottleib
Speirs, visited Roselle yesterday, and
after looking about, inquiring for work,

some distance down the railroad, secret
ing the watch, but subsequently III be-
ing charged with the commission Of
the theft, returned and got the
watch, whereupon he was arrested, and
sent down to this city where he is now
confined, awaiting @ trial. Spiers, is
also charged with various other petty
thefts-amoHg other things of stealing
pair of boots from one of the work
men on Saturday last, and which he
was found wearing at the time of his
arrest. The masons and carpenters at
Roselle have been greatly annoyed Of
late by the depredations of thieves, and
it is to be hoped that if the guilty par
ties can be found that they will receive
the punishment which their crimes
merit. ............,

me- At-a Ger, certain hour on MONDAY

BeAY Alta certain hour on Monday
night, a small boat containing three
Misunderstanding men, might have
been observed approaching the docks
at the Port, from the direction of Stat
en- Island, Swiftly did they propel
their bark over the undisturbed waters,
rowing close along the shore, and
hating only after reaching number of
schooners, ETC., which lay fastened to
the wharves.
Two of the party at once leaped on
the deck Of the nearest vessel, and af-
ter cautiously looking around, descend
ed into the forecastle, soon after emer-
ging with bundle of new rope. But
the operations of the trio were not CON
fined to one vessel, each, all in turn
were visited, until quite ''cargo" was
piled up on the wharf The boat was
then signalled for, and in minute or
two, it was loaded to the gunwale, but
new actor now appeared upon the
scene, which greatly disturbed the cal
culations of the thieves, giving them in
tense alarm. The night watchman,
continued to creep stealthily towords
the suspicious party, who finding H. en-
selves discovered, took steps to sucure
their safe retreat-being compelled to
abandon much of the property which
they had stolen from the boats, and
which they had piled on the wharf,
ready to lower into their craft.
Satisfied that the thieves were about
to get away, the brave Waterman raised
his revolver, and fired, but the willy ras
Gals dropped unframed into their boat,
which was pushed out from the shore,
and rapidly propelled across the sound
Six shots were subsequently fired at the
retreating thieves, who under the shad-
ow of cloud, which had few minutes
before obscured the moon, succeeded
in making good their escape.
The thieves, who evidently hailed
from New York, carried away with
them something like one hundred dol
lars worth of new rope, etc., and had
they not been detected in their nefari-
GUS scheme by the watchman, they
would likely have been more successful
in their raid. ......... ..aaa
Tha captain of the barge Monitor"
heard the thieves in the forward part of
his vessel, and reached the deck just as
the rascals descended the side, and
pushed off. He fired at them five
times, and is positive that he wounded
one of the party, as he heard one of
them utter ordinations of anguish.
The captain says there were five small
boats filed with thieves, and that the
raid was from New York. No other
information can be obtained by our
Reporter.

BeAp Young men seldom make bust
ness acquaintance of value by social
intercourse. Hundreds of men may
like you as q companion, who would
not trust you ON business of impor-
lance. In the legal profession this is
peculiarly so. A young man can only
hope for success in it by slow and plod
ding effort, and by establishing a cha
racter among business men for integri-
ty, punctuality, and energy. Almost
any young man of respectable abilities,
who is willing to work, study, wait
patiently, will eventually succeed. But
he must not expect business at all times
to come to him. He must make him
self acquainted with men, and show by
his activity that he is determined to
succeed, and to be worthy of all the
confidence that may be reposed in him.
With such capital as this to commence
with, young man is rich if he has not
a dollar in the world. The character he
sustans is his great wealth, and is of
more value than piles Of California
gold. -.... .-.-...
