An his face is ruther sad,

An a-goin' to the bad.

Everybody gets his number
Fur a reg'ler pessimist.

Or perhaps heartache caught him
In an unexpected style.

To dispel the gloomy mist.

Confederate
Situation

lowing regarding the situation in the
neighborhood of the Confederate cap
ital:
There is reason to believe that the
rebels are positivel.' contemplating the
evacuation of Petersburg. This move
ment has been rendered necessary by
the extent of their lines and the un-
para1leled thinning of their ranks by
desertion. The position occupied by
the enemy's extreme right was valu-
able only so long as his supplies were
forwarded by the Southside road. and
the capture of Wilmington having
made that road unavailable for trans
portation the sacrifice necessary
through the protection of that line is
no longer an object. During the last
few weeks formidat'c defenses have
of the Appomattox and mounted with
seventeen heavy guns. The statements
of deserters from day to day confirm
the report that upon the completion OF
this new line Petersburg will be aban-
doned By this movement e will so
contract his right as to form a right
angle of his line, a portion of which
would thus always be in a favorable
position for supporting the rest in
case of an attack by Gen. Grant. The
enemy long since ceased to make any
vigorous demonstrations upon our lines,
but has confined himself to the defen-
sive, and maneuvering for the purpose
of Inducing US to attack well fortified
positions All accounts from Rich
mond daily become more discouraging
for the rebel cause and agree in refer
ence to the decentralization of both the
army and the people. The contraction
of the enemy's lines is regarded by
themselves as a dernier resort, d sac
rifice of a strong advance position by
an experiment which promises no more
success than did the occupation of the
present formidable line of defense in
the opening of the campaign. Wher-
ever the enemy contracts his line we
can do the same. The relative strength
of the two armies can in no wise be
affected by such movements and the
withdrawal of the enemy's right only
brings our left closer to Richmond.

FIFTY YEARS AGO
IN THE STAR

During tho winter Of 1866 the House
District committee was called upon to
Investigate a remarkable
Traffic in charge to tho effect that
prisoners had been sent
1iAsone1s' away from tho District
Jail for service in the army. In The Star
of March /. 1865. is tho following para
graph in relation to this matter:
The House committee for tho Dis
trict Of Columbia a short time ago were
instructed to inquire as to the truth of
tho allegations that negroes and others
had been sold out Of the jail of this
county and placed in the army. etc
They, in their report, are happy to say
that the number engaged in the corrupt
practice Is not SO great as may have
been supposed, and that but few in
stances have been found in which GRIM
inals charged with heinous offenses
have been admitted to bail for the
purpose of being used as substitutes.
1t is unquestionably true that wrongs
have been committed and outrages on
public morality and public justice per-
petrated which call for the interfer-
ence Of Congress, and, SO far as may
be, for the punishment of tho guilty by
existing law. The whole number ad-
mitted to bail, to be used as substi-
tutes, is not far from seventy. The
larger part were committed to Jail for
trivial offenses. and the committee have
found no proof of the letting to bail of
more than f1ve or six persons charged
with crimes as high as grand larceny.
The committee. in order to prevent the
repetition of such practices by officers
of the Jail or others, have reported a
bill making 1t misdemeanor to offer
to enlist persons confined In jail. On
conviction the offenders are to be fined
from $3.50 to $1,000 and Imprisoned
from six months to one year"
