For fear he might have soma mara

ture twelve inches square, through
which he safely made his exit.
For fear he might have some more
poison secreted about his person, he
was subjected TO a rigid examination.
which was productive of some result.
In leather wallet, among some papers,
were discovered two pieces of watch
spring steel, which a little labor would
easily convert into excellent saws. He
insisted they were mere tin, but tin or
not, they were removed and the wallet
restored. In the ground hem of his
trousers leg was discovered something
hard, and upon being brought forth was
found TO be a rat-tail file. Gregg
chuckled and said he was "a sly old
coon" which was doubtless true. He
was securely locked up and Drs Wilson
and HOge called in TO attend him. At 4
late hour last night he was suffering
great pain, and expressed the belief,
which he prayed sincerely might be
realized, that he would die before
morning.
In company with Mr.. Fortney, the
REGISTER visited a Chemist with view
To analysing the contents OF the vial TO
determine whether it really had con-
tanned strychnia, but Gregg had drained
il so dry that il was impossible to tell
without a thorough chemical ANALYSIS.
But from lit painful effects it was evil
dent il had held poison OF some descrip-
ton, though scarcely strychnia, as the
amount Gregg claims to have taken, was
sufficient TO kill a dozen
Sheriff Ford will interview the Gov
ernOr this morning as TO what dispo-
sitiOn shall he made of the prisoner, and
il is probable that the sentence will be
cOmmuted to Imprisonment for life, The
Sheriff has been exceedingly kind and
courteous 10 his prisoner and deserves
the thanks OF his friends and the Green
County people generally.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, April IA.
SEN NATE.

After the usual morning business,
consideration of the army appropriation
bill was resumed, Mr.. Blaine having the,
floor. He said the method adopted in,
the pending section, TO get rid OF the
eight closing words of the section OF the
revised statutes proposed to be repealed,
viz, "or to keep the peace at the polls,
was an unusual and extraordinary
method. The ordinary way to repeat a
single sentence is TO strike out the par
ticular words objected TO, but the mode
chosen in this bill is to repeal and re-
enact the whole section, except the
last eight words. He was persuaded
that this unusual course was not
taken accidentlly but designedly. IL
he might so speak it came OF cunning,
the intent being to create the impress
sion that the Republicans in the adj
ministration Of the general government,
had used troops right and left IN every
direction and as soon as the Democrats
got into power they proceeded to enact
this prohibitory sixth section, and the
Democratic stump speaker would doubt.
less make great political capital out OF
this idea, whereas every word Of 1t from
first TO last was an indictment OF the
Republican party. Whether intentional
or not the issue thus presented was a
dishonest one.
Mr.. Wallace replied, and spoke in
favor Of the bill. He said: To maintain
the American system of free elections,
to restore to civil power control over all
the machinery OF the Government, a
free system of laws cannot tolerate even
the possible use of force at the fountain
of power. Why shall We not restore
this right? No Senator will deny the
right or its value. None assert that
troops under partisan control conduce
to free elections. The legislation of 1864
was the first instance OF the mail-clad
band of the Federal Government at the
ballot box.
Mr.. Logan obtained the floor, but gave
way to Mr.. Ferry, who moved that the
Senate proceed to consider the executive
business.
Mr.. Davis, OF West Virginia, thought
the Senate might remain i'll open session
an hour longer. Ii any Senator was ready
to speak on the pending bill let him do
80, If not let the Senate vote.
The Senate hya vote OF S6 to IL went
into executive session, and when the
doors re-opened adjourned.

About the Rebel prisons and soourn there SO long
Our wretched and hardshps great under

But those who have endured this fate in Di1es sunny
land.
When captured by their Chvary they stripped to the
skin,
But failed to give us back again the value Of pin
Except lousy rags Of gray discarded by their band
And thus commenced prison life in Dxies sunny land
With host of guards surrounding each with loaded
We stationed an open plain exposed to rain and
No tent tree to shelter us, lay upon the sand
Thus side by side great numbers died in Di,ies sunny
land.
This daily bill of fare in that Secesh saloon
No coffee tea sugar there morning. night noon;
But pint of meal ground cob and all served every

And for want of fire. ate 1t in Dixes sunny land
We by these poor raions reduced to skin and

There hundreds lay both night and day. by weak

Till death relieved their suferngs in Dixies sunny land
Thus dreary days and nights rolled by-yes weeks and
months untold,
Until that happy timo arrived when all paroed:
We landed at Annapolis, wretched looking band,
But glad to be alive and free from Dxies sunny land
Our feeble frames often tried by many threat and

To desert glorious Union cause and join this Rebel

Though fain were to leave the place. let them

We would rather die than thus disgrace flag in Dxes

How like dream those days seem retrospective

As regain wasted strength all dressed in Union
blue;
The debt bitter will have long stand
For will pay with vengeance soon in Dixies sunny
land.
