AT PEACE.
EY WILLIAM WINTER.

Green trees, and green fields. and sunset light,
With holy silence, save for ripping leaves,
And birds that twitter Of the coming night,
Calling their mates, beneath my cottage caves
These Faith had granted for little space
To be companions OF my pilgrimage,
Filling roy grateful heart with Natures grace.
Not unremem bered Lere the garish stage,
For gain and power IN which we all engage;
But here remembered dimly, in dream,
AS something fretful that hath ceased to fret
Here, where time lapses like agentle stream.
Hid in the woodlands heart, and l forget
To note its music and its silver CLEAN.
But never, let me cease to know,
Oh whispering winds and daily-sprinkled
grass,
The beauty and the peace that you bestow,
When the wild fevers Of ambitions pass,
And the worn spirit, in its gloom and griet,
Sinks on your bosom, and there finds relief:

THE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL UNION OF
SURVIVORS REPLIES TO JEFF DAvIs-THE PER-
cENTAGE OF DEATHS IN REBEL PRISONS
THEEE TIMES THAT IN FEDERAL PRISONS.
NORWICH, Conn, Feb. z 1870
Warren Lee Goss President OF the National Union
OF Andersonvlle Survivors has written letter to the
Bulletin replying to jefferson Davis assertion that the
mortality the Confederate prisoners In Union hands
was in greater proportion than that Of Union soldiers
in rebel prisons.
Mr. Goss quotes the federal War Department figures
showing the captures Of soldiers and citizens by
the Confederate forces have been lss 145 and it is
estimated that of these half actually confined
prisons The number of deaths in Confederate
prisons was So 4O1 consequently the per Of
tality in prisons 38A and the per cent Of
the entire captures about 1881 The number OF cap
lures by the Union forces 476 l69 actually
fined lthe rest being paroled exchanged 327 $40;
per cent Of mortality in prison, l3H per cent OF
tality of whole number Of captives, l-3 Thus
the mortality in rebel prisons about three times
as great that in Union prisons.
Mr.. Goss also quotes the official report Of the Con-
federate Inspector OF Prisons Lieutenant Colonel d. r.
Chandler who is avorably indorsed by the Confeder-
ate Assistant Secretary OF War, TO show that
mendations actually made to Davis Cabinet to
replace General Winder, Commandapt at Anderson

THE LAW REGULATING THE PROSECUTION OF

ERAL ON HIS RECENT LETTER TO DISTRICT
ATTORNEY DYER-rNTRIGUEs OF THE POLL
TIcIANs.
Attorney General PiOrrspont authorizes the state
ment that there is dispute between himself tho
Secretary OF the Treasury to the infringement of the
whskey trials, any disagreement OF any kind and
that the construction given TO his letter TO
Mr.. Dyer by the st. Louis Tmes-namely. that IL was

from giving evidence to the government by threat
ening them with severe and immediate punishment
whore they have been themselves guilty OF offences
and have pleaded guty-s entirely without foundation
AS to interference by the Attorney General such as
has been charged, this could not be without a
breach Of the statutes Section TIA Revised Statutes
says
terna revenue laws which the United States are
party, or any SUIT against collector or any other
torney appears, Is commenced the attorney for tho
district IN which II is brought shall Immediately report
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue the full par
tcuars relating To the same
Section 3215 makes II the duty Of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue with the approval OF the Secre
tary Of the Treasury establish such regulations
inconsistent with law, for the observance of
officers, dstrct attorneys ami marshas respecting
suits arising under the the internal laws
which the United States is party, may be deemed
necessary for the just responsibility OF those officers
and the prompt collection of all and debts
due and accruing to the United States.
Section 1929 empowers the Secretary to compro-
mise any civil or criminal arising under the in
ternal revenue laws Succeeding sections forbid any
discontnuance without the Of the Secretary.
Section sSS obiges the District Attorney to report
all to the Secretary, and his expenses
paid by that officer
1t is generally known that the law gives the Sec
retary OF the Treasury such complete control OF the
the internal revenue laws.
There is doubt that attempts have been made here
by persons in the interest Of the whskey Ring get
the present out Of the hands OF the Secre
tary, whose determination to expose and punish all
evil doors, regardless OF their political social nu-
ence has created panic among the politicians.
These in their desperation leave no means un-
tried to their friends and to put stop to the
prosecutions to confusion in the Secretary's
operation and breed disagreement between HIM and
other members OF the administration. But the Sec
retary knows his duty and means to do 1t, and OF
the Attorney General knows the laws well
