I APpoIsTMEsT OF Dissatisfaction the
Lyncbburg Neus.J-We cordially endorse
the views Of The Petersburg Mems when IL
insists that each congressional district in Viz
ginia shall select its own delegates to the
National Democratic Convention. This is
time. honored custom which was always OBJ
served In this State before the war By both
parties, we believe, and always found to
succeed WELL The surest mode Of rendering
the work of conventions acceptable to the
people whom they represent and for whom
they act is to popularize them as far as pos.
siSle. We are bitterly opposed TO any move
ment which will tend to centralize our party
representation. 1t will not begin to do to
leave the choice Of delegates for the whole
State TO any committee of any State conyen-
tloD.
We would not seriously object to allowing
the delegates from the several districts 10
meet in separate caucus and select the men
of their choica, but the fairest and most cor
rect mode would be to hold conventions in
each district. Then nobody can Object to
what is done. 10 any event, of course, the
State Convention is necessity, for there are
delegates from the State at large 10 be APP
pointed, as we'll as an Executive Committee
and a host Of electors. We are going into
this fight to win; we want no embarrass-
ments and obstacles surrounding our outset.
What we have written is in the interest OF
the party; the man we are for is-the NOM
inee of our National Convention.

Of deposits in the Merchants Bank of

An Andersonvii,e Surgeon OH the Suf-
ferings Of the Prisoners.

feringS OF the PrisOnerS.
WoRsHAM, Prince EDWARD COUNTY, FA.,
February 7, 1876.
Editors Dispatch: Since the animated
controversy recently inaugurated by Dir.
Blaine in Congress on the subject of the
" Andersonyille prison. has taken such a
wide range, deem it my duty, as an officer
OF that place during its most trying period
without going into details), to make the fol-
lowing statement:
1st. That the sufferings at Andersonville
were the results of malignant pestience,
caused by the uncomfortable events of a
fierce and bitter war.
I'd. That Captain Wirz expiated his alleged
crimes under the form OF trial that cap
reflect no credit on the Government that
tried him, and that his life was taken away
by suborned testimony.
Sd, That bis alleged co. conspirators-Jef-
ferson Davis, James A. Seldom, and others
were as innocent of the crimes charged as
himself.
4th. That the Federal authorities at WASH
ington prevented the exchange OF prisoners,
contrary to the rules of civilized warfare.
5lb. That By exchanging the prisoners
three fourths of all the lives lost in prisons,
North and South, could have been rescued
from martyrdom.
These points can all be substantiated by
official Confederate and Federal documents.
Think it altogether unnecessary at this late
date for any person, North or South, to at
tempt to stir up strife or rekiDdle the DOR
mant fires that lie smouldering in our pov-
erty-stricken country. The war is over,
with all of its terrible concomitants, and |
know the southern people are content to let
the impartial historian Of the future erlticse
her acts during the terrible contest. know
that her bright escutcheon is clear of vandal.
ism, retaliation, or cruelty 10 prisoners Ct
war. It may suit small politicians to copjure
I'D old John Browns ghost and the Ander
souyille prison in order to "fire anew the
northern heart" but Mr.. Blaine will lind
that the sceptre is departing from Judah, and
that Radicalsm is but the dying embers OF
Abolitionlsm. The freedom of the negro
has quenched this volcano. A few more
slight oscilations-a few more scintillations-
and the party that has fed like parasite Oh
the creduity of the American people Tor u
