DEATHS IN REBEL PRISONS.

This is q matter upon which The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE has had much to say every
little while, but it seems impossible, in the
face of the statistics which the War Depart
ment has given out, to have the people I'M
derstand the exact truth, The War Depart
ment's report that 29,725 Union prisoners
died in the hands of the rebels is grossly
inaccurate, and this inaccuracy has been fire.
quently pointed out An attempt will be
made by the Editor of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE to have Secretary of War Proc
tor make the proper corrections. The War
Department bases its figures upon what few
mutilated rolls of rebel prisons came into
its possession at the time of the surrender of
the Confederate archives. The best demon
stration of its fragrant incompleteness is in
the fact that in three rebel prisons alone, to
wit, Andersonyille, Salisbury and Florence,
there are nearly as many graves of prisoners
as the War Department reports having died,
while at 10 other large prisons no account
whatever is taken of the deaths To recapitu-
late: There are in the cemetery at Ander-
vile 1874 graves; at Salisbury, 1926;
at Florence, $685. a total of 28,838 in the
three. If there was any statement accessible
of those who died at Belle Isle, Rich
mond, Danville, Goldsboro, Wilmington,
Columbia, Charleston, Savannah, Millen,
Blackshear, Atlanta, Macon, Cahaba, Mobile,
Jackson, Miss, Vicksburg, and Camp Tyler,
Tex, we are confident that the number
would show in excess of $4,000. The War
Department itself shows that it has reason
to believe that more than 10000 Union
prisoners persisted in the hands of the rebels
The difference is this: Every rebel who
died in a Northern prison was reported tC
the War Department, while the rebels made
imperfect reports of many of the prisons
and in most of them none at all. In this way
terrible injustice has been done to The
Union soldiers which it is the duty of the
Government to rectify.

The Johnstown horror has set people of
other cities to actively considering whether
they are not menaced with similar danger.
There is accordingly general investigation
of dams, with the result, let us hope that
everywhere they will be strengthened so as
to make such a disaster impossible. 1t has
been found that a number of these erections
are very unsafe, and in the event of their
breaking they would have made as wild a
havoc as that on the Conemaugh. 1t is
comparatively easy to make such dams safe
beyond peradventure. Ithas developt that
the Conemaugh dam only burst because of
gross defects in its construction, which could
have been remedied at little cost. 1t had
no masonry revetment to make it secure, and,
worst of all, it had noiiwaste- of adequate
capacity. This would have prevented its
bursting. 1t was composed of earth and
shale, with its sides covered with stones
loosely laid on. On the top of the dam was
an ordinary roadway, and in the center it
sagged down considerably. The rising water
poured over this depression, and speedily
cut the dam to where its destruction became
almost instantaneous. AL this could have
been easily prevented by having waste-ways
at either end, which would allow the over
flow to pass off without damage to the
structure.

THE prospects for manufacturing tin
plate in this country are getting very bright
There is tin enough in the Black Hills to
supply the world. The only difficulty is in
finding some cheap, eficacious way of sepa-
rating it from the mica mixed whit. Sew
eral able men are at work on processes for
this, with every hope of speedy success. In
anticipation of this company has been
formed in Chicago with unlimited capital to
engage in the manufacture. This will re-
suit in retaining in the country, and paying
out to our own people, about $24,000,00O a
year, which we have heretofore paid out to
England for tin-plate, and thus add i'm
mensely to the wealth of our own people.

In present for duty " the rebels included
only those men who actually stood in line of
battle with arms in their hands, and made
no account of teamsters, Quartermasters,
Commissaries, Surgeons, Ordnance officers,
etc, with their host of employees, which
make the paper strength of the Union armies
SO much greater than their fighting strength.

a GREAT BUSINESS.

Hon. Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park
is Vermonter who believes in YER
mont and has made his money here in
this state. He is a wide awake, push
ing and thoroughly reliable business
man. One of his varied interests is
thus noticed editorially by the st. Al
bans Messenger, and we heartily en-
dorse all that it says:
Zone of the most unique and extern
sive industries in the state is that
founded and pursued by Hon. G. s.
Page at Hyde Park-the calf skin bus
mess. The invention is Mr.. Pages
own, and there is nothing of the sort
Of the same magnitude in the United
States. 1t consists in gathering these
hides from all over the country and in
asserting them for market. The bus
mess was commenced in small way
by Mr.. Pages father, who was deal
er in stoves and tinware. The young man
saw the possibilities, improved ms OPP
portunity, and from his annual business
of 5000 skins in 1880 il has grown to
be more than 1000 in a single month
and exceeding $3.50, 900 yearly. His
storehouse at Hyde Park is marvel AS
regards capacity-240 by 30 feet, with
basement tor storage and chamber
for dry stock, capable of carrying in
stock over 100000 hides. We are
glad to notice this successful Vt. enter
prise. and to commend the proprietor
to the favorable consideration of the
trade. One of the principal reasons
for Mr.. Pages success is acknowledge
ed to be advertising" and attention
is called to his advertisement in anoth-
er column. Business faculties also
furnish an important factor, the whole
being crowned by personal integrity
and upright dealing"
