A WAR RELIC.

Our friend and good citizen, Mr. r.
Highgate, has in his possession Vol. l,
No l, Of the "Prison Times" April 1865,
published at Fort Delaware, in the Bar
racks. 1t was published in Division
eth, by J. W. Hibbs, Captain 18th
Virginia Infantry. The paper contains
four pages with twelve columns, III in
ches long and II inches wide, and instead
OF being printed with type is very beauti-
fully and closely written with pen in
script style. 1t is gotten up in very
unique manner while the matter OF it is
spirited and original and containing may
humorous items, showing that the "boys
in Grey" would have fun although PEN
ned up in close prison quarters. 1t con-
tains dozen or more advertisements of
men engaged in different occupations
such as boots, shoes, BARRIERS, engraving,
tailoring establishment, etc. As little or
no meal could be had rats was sold very
high, and considered a great luxry as
the following advertisement will show:
"RATs.-All who are able to indulge in lux
uries can be supplied with fat Rats by imme-
diate applicants to Fox at the Entrance"
The following is the "Salutatory,"
which will be read with interest by all
who wore the grey or blue, as well as
the rising generation:
"There are now more than sixteen hun
dred officers in our Barracks within an enclo-
sure containing scarce five acres of ground.
One would suppose that the fact OF so many
men being thus crowded together would tend
to create the greatest possible amount OF
soclability, and afford unrivalled facilities for
forming and cementing extensive personal
friendships
But there seems to be as much isolation of
individuals and as many little cliques and
communities as in the large cities OF the
world outside.
This is phenomenon OF prison social life
to which we can only call attention at pres
ent, and | leave for longer experience or
more profound and skillful amotaters to ex.
plain.
AS our knowledge of the "Great world
outside is fast becoming traditionary, or a
best derived from fresh fish stories, our
news items will be necessarily of a purely To-
cal character. 1t must be admitted however
that the operators on our Great Grape Tele-
graph line do sometimes get up some Won
derful and startling dispatches.
In our humble efforts to portray the Prison
Times at this place we shall labor to keep our
readers posted upon all incidents in our little
world, worthy of record and afford them
every facility of knowing who is here and
what is being done.
Trusting that the difficulties of conducting
an enterprise of this kind under the circum.
stances, are duly appreciated by an intel
ligent public, we send forth this our first
number, hoping that ere we canIhave time
to issue many numbers, our Prison Times
will be discontinued tor ever and our patrons
and ourselves be far away in our loved Sun
ny South"

This is the first time since 1876 in
New York City, that mayor, Governor
and President are to be voted for together.
The election for mayor comes the same
year as the election for President, but
the election for Governor comedies with
the other two only once every twelve
years, though it coincldes with the elec-
ton for mayor once every six. The
Presidents term is four years, the Gov
ernors three, and the mayors two. In
1882 mayor and Governor were elec-
ted the same year. In 1876 the Demo-
Gratis had a big majority for everybody.
