ANDERSONvIlIE;

Lyman Trumbull is for Horace
Greeley, and is the ablest man on
that pin-hook in the West. In re-
cent speech at Dixon, Ills, he made
use of the following atrocious lam
guage: -..
1--WE should forgive the South, and not
go bowling around about the horrors Of
Andersonville." .... ...
Unfeeling and brutal to come from
a man who pretends to love his coun-
try; who holds the high and respons.
ible position of United States Sena-
tor by Republican votes, many OF
them cast by soldiers but there
was an object in the expression.
Renegade from the party that eleva-
ted, he is now training with Gree.
ley's Tammany ring, and must needs
make a speech to pander to its vo-
taries, and secure their sympathy,
though every decent man in the land
scorn and loathe him for it. Ander-
sonville was type of hell on earth.
A more barbarously kept prison new
er disgraced a civilized land. The
"Black Hole of Calcutta" has gone
into history as horrible, but its hor-
rors were beds of ease compared
with the sufferings of Anderson
vile, where tens of thousands of Uni
on soldiers were confined, and where
$4,000 were murdered. Robbed of
erything-money, clothing, blank
cts, they were turned into the open
field, without shelter from the heat
of summers SIN or the driving
rain and sleet of winters night,
and left to starve. True they were
furnished with food, but what was itP
So poor and 80 scarce, that men like
dogs would fight for a bone or a
scrap of meat. The captors dared
not murder them in cold blood when
taken, but Andersonville was created
to murder them in, and right well
did they do it. just think of the
the great field with thousands OF men
therein, surrounded by high fence,
on which paced blood-thirsty guards
with strict orders to shoot the first
man who crossed certain line, and
how eagerly they watched for the
unwary or uniformed prisoner to
cross the line that they might muir
der him. Imagine the SONS OF our
best citizens, thrifty farmers, sue
cessful merchants, professional men,
burrowing in the ground for shell
ter, or begging for crust of bread,
or recklessly rushing across that ia
tai dead line to meet quicker fate
from the bullet, rather than stay and
die of starvation. Reader when
You sit down to your plentiful repast,
try to think of the suferings these
men endured. Try to think what q
man must endure when bereft Of
food let your mind run riot, and
then multiply its worst features by a
score and you have but Q faint idea.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS F0R sOLDlERS AND
kAILORS, ORPHANS.

FAhhVho' OhthANNs
A bin for the Incorporation Of an lnstltu-
tlou under the title OF tho National Soldiers
and Sailors Orphan Industrial Training As
soclAtion Is now before the Senate. having
been fayorably reported upon by the military
committee. The corporators are composed
Of ex-ofiicers Of the army who served during
the late rebellion, having General Ambrose
y. Burnside at the head, and the object Is to
provide Industrial schools, supplementary to
the already-organlzed orphans homes, for
the purpose Of lnstructlng ln various trades
and industrial pursuits, free of all cost the
orphaus Of Union soldiers aud sailors who
died from disease or wounds contracted In
the service. II Is proposed 70 lease, or where
Il Ia rendered necessary 10 erect, temporary
buildings for the purpose, as the benefits will
only be required for ten or fifteen years.
Some States have made no provision for the
care and instruction Of these Orphans, In
which case this association would extend TO
them the benefits Of the national care
while In those States where attention has
already been given to their education Il
would very properly be supplemented by the
instruction in various pursuits Of industry
which would enable them 10 become valuable
citizens. The whole community should feel
an interest In this measure, because to cast
several thousand Of these orphans, at the age
Of sixteen, upon the world, without some un-
derstood means or knowledge OF earning
their livelihood, Ia not only dangerous ex-
pertinent, but 1t Is unworthy great people
who have been so much benefited from the
cause which has robbed them Of their parents
There should be no delay In the passage Of
this bill, as the corporators are ready TO COM
menee operations, and the benefits cannot be
conferred too soon, as hundreds Of children
are yearly becoming eligible for such lnstltu-
tions.
