A Sad commenlarr on Our Roads.

On Wednesday last while peacefully
pursuing his journey along the county
road, between Menelaus and Farris-
town, near Whites Station, Humphrey
Martins saddle horse became stalled
in the middle of the road, and try as
Martin did by whip and spur, the ami
NAL could not extricate himself. Sew
eral n-ighbors came to the rescue, and
with the assistance of Jack Twigg's four
mules and slide, half dozen larm
hands superintended by Mr.. Twigg,
aud any number of Farristown negroes,
the bogged-up horse, after two hours,
was priced ont of the mud hole more
dead than alive. Ropes. hickory poles,
mules and negroes, pulled aud hauled,
strained and grunted, until tile poor
beast was finally landed, but the iussle
was too great and his horseship gave
up the ghost next day. A postgrsdu-
ate examination revealed the fact that
the animals ribs had been broken and
his shoes actually pulled Off in the mud

Col" J. Gordon Dudley, of this

cuses for getting furloughs. Here is an
incident:
An Irishman came TO the colOnePs

his voice, asked to be mustered out.

he said. "She whites that the childer

home and bother her."
Colonel" asked the soldier, "did my
wife write that?"
"She did"
The soldier looked at the colonel
steadily for quarter OF a minute, sa-
luted and said:
"Colonel, there are two big liars IN

Death Statistics Of The Civil War. Larger
Deaths Rates in Federal Prisons.

The Scientific American of Jan. IA,
gives space to the report of Surgean-
General C. NJ. Tebault. of the United
Confederate Veterans, made at the
Atlanta reunion last July, winch was
attended by number of old soldiers
and others from this county and State.
Of the 10000 Federal prisoners cap
tured by Confederates and he'd in
southern prisons from first to last dur
ing the war. only 22,57O died, while of
the 100000 Confederates held in Federal
prisons 26,436 died.
From these reports, taken from the
report of Secretary Stanton, on the 18th
of July, 1856 it appears that with 50,-
600 more prisoners in Southern stock
AIDES or other modes of confinement,
the deaths we're 1000 less. According
TO these figures, continues Mr.. Tebault,
the percentum Of Federal deaths in
Southern prisons was under nine; while
the percentum of Confederate deaths
in Northern prisons was over twelve.
The mortuary statistics are of no
small weight in determining on which
side there was the most neglect, cruel
ty, and inhumanity, proclaiming, as
they do loss by death of more than
three per cent. of Confederates over
Federais III prisons ALE Feder-
