 June 14.-A chilly, rainy day. Was told last night that one hundred died be- tween Sunday night and Monday night. Men die here very fast. There are over nineteen thousand prisoners here now. The report comes that Gen. Grant had got around Lee and cut off all his SUD- plies, &c. The following Connecticut regiments are represented in this prison CTS camp: The 1st, 9th, 7th, 9th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 18th, 18th, 17th, 18th, 21st, and the 18th and 3Oth infantry. .s
 June 15.-A cloudy, misty, showery day. We heard this morning that Gen. Banks had been appointed Commissioner of Exchange, and Savannah was the place selected for the exchange of men, and we were soon to be exchanged or paroled. We have an addition to our number, of about one thousand, from Gen. Grants army. One of the prisoners, who is out on parole, shoemaking, came in this morn
 
 shaved one side of his head. Rations are small.
 June 16.-The weather is about the same as yesterday. About one thousand prisoners came in to-day. A few of them were from Sherman's army, but the great CT part were from Grants and Buffers. The report is circulated that Gen. Nc Clellan has superseded Gen. Butler in command of his army. Some of the 2d Conn. Heavy Artillery came in to-day. George Emerson, of the 21st Mass, for merly of Stafford, Conn.,, was brought in here.
 June TIA rainy day. Two months ago to-day the Rebels attacked us at Plymouth, N. o., and twenty-one months ago to-day we fought the battle of Antie- tam. We are in dirty. filthy place, worse than hog-pen. Over twenty-two thousand men are within this stockade, used worse than hog. Our rations are not fit to eat more than half of the time. Eighteen men, that went out after wood with nine Rebel guard, took the guns and equipments from the guard and escaped.
 June Yesterdays wet weather over again. It is said that there are nine thousand Rebels at Savannah waiting to be exchanged for nine thousand Unior prisoners. Seven transports and several gun boats are there with the men to be exchanged. I do not believe it. Wt hear that Danville is burnt. Four hund red more prisoners brought in to-day. A part were from Grants army and tho others from Seigel's army. It is saic that Gen. Winder is here. Drew mea and meat this evening.

Hartford Courant: Probably no New England manufacturing village is suffer- ing more acutely from the present business than South Coventry. The time was when this place was one of the most prosperous inland manufacturing villages in Connecticut. It has water power which is practically never failing, the water coming from spring-fed Lake Wangumbaug and flowing down such a steep decline that every few hundred feet for nearly two miles fine water power may be obtained. Twenty years ago at least dozen mills, small and large, were doing 8 prosperous business. Fire has wiped out three or four of these and among them were some of the largest There are now left three silk mills, one wool-extract (shoddy) mill, one woOlen mill, one satinet mill a paper box mahu- factory and a metallic cartridge shop. All of these were doing prosperous business under the protective tariff. The water from Wangumbaug flows through the village without being obstructed by scarce  ly a wheel. The silk mills are all idle, the cartridge shops only employee is a watchman, the box shop starts up only to fill an occasional order, the woolen mill runs only occasionally a day then with but few hands. The streets present Sunday appearance and the people go about with long faces. One man for thirty years resident of the place re. marked that since he he had lived in South Coventry he had never seen the time when there was so near nothing doing as now. "We are praying" says he, for republican Congress and a re- publican President, and then we know that better times will come, but we have little hope until then"

 II told him I was there by General Jackson's personal order, and was espec- ially exempt from arrest. He ordered his staff to dismount and enter the warehouse and gave my men tue order to level their guns and make ready.
 "This made the general halt in spite of his thirst, and hold a consultation with his officers. They concluded to try persua- sion, since they could not get what they wanted by force. But they found that method of no more avail than the other. Then they demanded to know my name and what command I belonged to, and threatened to report me for disobedience.
 "l should never have yielded, and whether they would have pushed things to an extremity, in their raging desire for the liquor, do not know; but just at that moment General A. P. Hill came galloping up with his staff and naturally wanted to know what was the trouble. explained the situation, which the quick witted general took in at once, and ordered the thirsty squad off.
