The Confederate Prison Pen.
EX-SENATOR BRowSLow' srArEMEN,

EX-SENATOR BROwSLow's STATEMENT.
Andersonville was expressly selected
fer its Eurderous malaria, and Winder
and Wirr were expressly put In charge
Of the prison pen there to aid in the
fendish work Of exterm.natiEg the
Yankee army. With all the South to
choose from, salubrious mountains, Sc
cluded valleys, healthy plateaus and
sheltering forests, this red clay hillside
sixty miles south of Macon, Ca, was
selected. 1t comprised twenty-seven
acres of land, With fever and musqui-
to breeding swamp ia its center. A
choked and sluggish stream flowing out
of another swamp crept through it while
within rife shot distance from it flowed
a large brook of pure water, which, had
il been inclossd in the prison pen
would have saved the lives of many Of
the prisoners. But that would have
thwarted the murGerous scheme Of the
conspIrators. There were some pine
trees in the pen which might have shell
tered some of the poor prisoners, but
Winder ordered them to be cut down.
When tod that their shade would alle-
viate the sufferings of the captives he
replied "That is just what | am not
going to do! | will make a pen here for
the - Yankees, where they will rot
faster than they are sent"
The pen was quadrangle with two
rows of stockades from twelve to eigh-
teen feet in length, aud seventeen feet
from the inner stockade was the "Gead
line," over which no man could pass and
live. Within this place there we're at
one iine more than thirty thousand bu-
man beings confined, without shelter,
parehed with tha burning sun, flooded
with rain, without pnre water to drink,
exposed TO .rost and heat; to the bull
let's Of brutal guards, used in wanton
sport; beaten, bruised, cursed, driven
tn madness aud idiocy, starved into
skeletons, presenting the most horrid
aud CHASTITY objects ever seen out of the
torture chambers of the Spanish inqui
sition. Even photograph of vne Of
these wretched creatures is enough to-
day to sicken the sight and stir the
heart with thirst for vengeance. Four
teen thousand of those poor sufferers
found relief in death. There are now
there 1890 of the victims graves to
bear witness to The truth Of this horrid
tale. Aud yet JEFF. Davis and Ben
Hill attempt to palliate these hellish
cn:-sc.. to deny them in fact, and te

pretend that the Union prisoners were
as we'll fed as the Confederate soldiers,
and as well trested as the rsbe. pris-
oners at Camp Chase and Elmira.
As to the scarcity Of the necessaries
of life, it is enough to say that Ander.
sonville is ID Z very fruitful section ol
country, aud when General Sherman
marched through Georgia to the sea,
he found provisions in plenty. That
the murderous system was pursued de-
liberstely there is ampls evidence, and
JEFF. Davis not only knew all about
it, but was responsible Cor it. Rober,
Ould was JEFF Davis Chief Commis-
sioner for the exchange of prisoners.
He wrote letter from City Point to
Winder on the exchange of prisoners,
in which he tells how the 81 stim worked:
"The arrangement l have maee," said
be, "works largely in our favor. We
get rid of set of miserable wretcbes,
ano receive some of the best material
| ever saw"
As to JEFF. Davis "Inexcusable pri-
vatious' after he was captured and in
Fortress Monroe, snd the tortures''
which he says s'Dr. Craven has too
family described" we can not refrain
from quoting the following paragraph
ii. c. Higginson's letter to the ihila'
delphia Ledger. Mr. Higgirson was
one of the Audersonville Prisoner Del
egates to Mr.. Lincoln. He says:
81 was stationed at Fortress Monroe
during most of Mr.. Davis confinement
there, and hardly day passed tina: [
did not make comparison between his
condition nicely quartered in case
mate with his wife, family and friends,
plenty to eat aud drink, DIR Craven, at
tending physician, strolling at will
hound the ramparts, and the recipient
of fruits and flowers from outside friends
to the miserable spot where l lay in
Audersonville,' Georgia, unsheltered
from wind and storm, in hunger, filth,
uakedness, squalor and disease, and re-
fused even the box of clothiug and food
sent TO me by my friends North, which
| saw with my name and address on,
and knew that they 1.-THE rebel officers
and men at Andersonville) used for
themselves"
If, before this Congress met last De-
cember, there was the ghost of chance
for the Democracy to carry the next
Presidential election, that chance was
removed when the leades of the South
ern Democracy arose in their places in
Congress and defended or paliiated the
horrors Of Andersonvile and eulogIzed
JEFF. Davis. "Those whom The Code
seek to destroy they frs. make mad"

Will They be Punished 2
IFrOm the hsr York Wiiness.J ]


4 few days, ago the Bank Of the
State of New York went down. A
couple of months ago the bank declared
and paid a dividend, although it is now
understood that the transactions which
ruined the concern date back six
months. Are these men, who by their
fraudulent presentation Of the banks
affairs to the public, not to be bought
to reckoning Have the parties who
bought the stock of the bank above
par because of this false January div
idend no redress ! That is question
which concerns them. And it is also
a question of the highest moment to
this commercial community. Whose
interests are safe if crimes like this 60
unpunished. This practice of foul divi-
dends by corporations already bankrupt
is monstrous practice.

sent up for ten years. There are othe,
ways of appropriating money besides
taking it from the till and out of money

has lately re-appeared in greater brill
liancy than ever, and the immense
power Of the telescope attached 10 the
shove observatory, 50 we'll known in
the scientific world, has developed the
fact that the light proceeds from some
huge, FURNISHED substance. acting as a
mirror, which must Be at least 100 feet
in diameter. The most astonishing
thing in the matter is the almost COM
plste proof that this is actually mirror
Of artificial construction, and the theory
of the savans ct Pau1laseska is that il is
erected for observations Of scientific
character, principally to observe the
phases Of the earth's surface. 1t is
we'll known that the immense hight Of
that portion Of the moon which is turned
toward the earth, not enly through the
yell known laws Of gravitation keeps
that portion Of her surface presented
towards us, but renders it uninhabita-
ole. 1t is supposed that the side turned
from us may hsse IN atmosphere suit
able to animal life; and that intelligent
beings, observing the halo Of light shed
around its horizon by reflection from
the earth, may have taken this means
to ascertain the cause. Some ingenious
device to place a mirror at a hight
where animal life could not be sustained
was the result. It is to be hoped that
this discovery may lead to othei in re-
gard to our interesting satellite.
