cock, in which he says he is innocent and will
prove it. The trial will impoverish him. He
says he fears the jury, and that the verdicts
against Avery and Mckee show that the jury
were overawed by public prejudice. He be-
lieves the prosecution rely on certain kilograms,
but their true nature and purport will be salts
factorily explained. The "Sylph" despatch
was purely a social affair, in which the sigma
ture 'Sylph" was used as joke. Babcock
said he never met Con Mcguire but once, never
wrote him letter, and never wrote to Mckee
and had no intimate acquaintance with the
latter. Babcock says all the juries there are
under rebel influence and dare not do otherwise
than convict any one connected with the adj
ministration.
The counsel for Babcock state that President
Grant will certainly be called to testify relative
to Babcock's character, and on the influence
alleged to have beer used by Babcock on the

TURKEY.
Am Abstract of Andrassy's Note.


LONDON, Feb 5.-The Times says Andrassy' s
note Is evidently intended to convey the impress
sion that the three powers have policy. and
have not interfered for nothing. The reform
may be limited in scope, but will be pursued
even at the risk of departure from the tradi-
tons which have hitherto been observed in
dealing with Turkey.
The note recapitulates the history of the
efforts for pacification, particularly on the eff
forts OF the powers to lessen the dangers of the
insurrecti0n by restraining Servia and Monten
egro, and on the moderation of the powers with
reference to the Consular commission at Mos
tar, when their delegates were instructed to
disabuse the insurgents of hopes of outside aid,
and to expect them to disperse after stating
their grievances. The powers then only urged
the right to urge ON the Porte those demands
which appeared legitimate. The cabinets re
rstricted themselves to counseling the Porte as
to the use of moral as well as military means
The note continues
"Unhappily the hopes Of the powers were
disappointed On the one side, the reforms
published by the Porte do not seem to have had
in view the pacifcation of the insurgents, nor
do they appear to be sufficient for that pur-
pose. On the other side, the Turkish armies
have failed to put down the instruction. The
reforms promulgated by the Porte had no spe-
cial relation TO the grievances Of the nsur-
gents"
The note then proceeds to indicate the neces-
sary reforms which have already been reported
and concludes as follows:
1.-THE Porte's previous underlined promises can
only raise, not satisfy, the aspirations of Tur-
key. They have failed to terminate the insur-
rection which spring will renew. The convic.
tion is general among the Christians that Bull
garla and Crete will join in the spring. 1t mag
also be seen that the Servian and Montenegrin
governments will be unable to resist tine infiu,
ence of events and public opinion. They seem
to have familiarized themselves with the idea
of joining the struggle when the snow melts.
The three cabinets therefore think the only
chance of avoiding new complications is by
manifestations from all the powers establishin 2
their firm resolution to arrest the movement;
but to address the Princes and Christian foun-
dations, the powers must be able to point to
acts clearly ameliorating the condition to Her.
zegovinia, for experience has taught the Chris
tians deeply rooted mistrlst with regard to
every promise of the Porte.''

them. leaned out of the window and COM
manded that they should be given to the other.
which was done. But at the moment rebel
sentinel drew his rife to his shoulder as if to
fire upon me, but he did not, though imperative
orders were given to shoot anyone showing
even head at window; the sentinel was too
merciful to kill one for such cause! A few
days before one of our number was shot, who
unthinkingly showed his head at a window,
not out of it.
This order had not been issued long before
that time and the first victim to it was rebel
officer who was visiting one of the prisons
Castle Thunder. In passing along he showed
himself at window, when rebel sentinel
shot him fatally, mistaking him for "a yankee
oficer!' After that blunder for sometime the
sentinels were savagely resolved to make
amends for it by shooting some prisoners. We
used to spot them, standing back little
out of sight, and we saw them watching the
windows as hunters in the woods after squirrels
scan the trees sharply!
At a little distance from Libby Prison was
large tobacco warehouse, in which two thous-
and Union soldier were confined. These men
nsed to taunt the sentinels by popping their
heads out of the windows and drawing back
again just in time to avoid shot. sentinel
thus cheated of his sport would watch the
windows say agely, longing for "a good chance"
but the boys were too sharp and too quick
for him.
We slept upon the floor without bedding of
any kind, except perhaps blanket The fortu-
nate ones sometime had two, and this through
an unusually cold winter. The floors were
washed twice week, and cold damp days
were selected for the operation, and the time
was afternoon, SO that we might have damp
floor to sleep upon. This operation was per-
formed by throwing buckets of water upon the
floors and scrubbing them with brooms, leaving
the floors, when the operation was over, flooded
with water. All this would be likely to co.,
tribute to the desired end-to break down the
health of prisoners closely confined, with no
opportunity to breathe the open air. Since
have undertaken it may give more reminis-
censes of rebel prison life. N. d.
