the Valley on Frid&r lsst, thus leaving it
entirely free of troops from here to Staun

A correspondent of Thi Cincinati Com
mercial has been to Greenville, Tennessee,
and visited the house of Andrew Johnson
there. It is a plain two-story brick house,
with a one story and basement L, having
in all six square rooms, and the cook-rooms
below. The bouse has been used as a hos
pital and headquarters for both armies.
Cavalrymen have used it and abased it, by
leading horses in at the front hall entrance,
thence, through the house, to the rear. The
library has been culled, and finally stacked
up in a chaotio hesp in one corner of an
unfurnished upper-story room. The lot on
which this dwelling stands is large, extend
ing back to a clear, cool spring, which
gushes forth irom the contiguous limestone
ledge. After visiting the dwelling, the
visiters proceeded to the celebrated tailor
shop, a few squares to the east, and situated
on the brink of a small mountain-streamlet.
This is a little frame house, gable-end
toward the street, twelve feet by fifteen,
and standing alone. On a sign-board over
the door (which is in the center, flanked
by two small windows), are the simple
words:

posed to stay tome time at the last named
place. In crossing the South Shore Bail
road track at West Hingham, where the
country road and the railroad cross each
other obliquely, running almost parallel,
the two horses fretted a little at the ap
proach of a freight train, and twisting
sideways one of the whet Is caught between
the rails and wooden planking of the cross
ing. At that moment the train struck it
shattering toe wheel and turning the coach
over on Mr. Lowell, killing him instantly.
Seven others out of the party were badly
injured. One man was thrown from the

WIRZ TRIAL.
WASHINGTON, September 1.
The trial of Wiia was resumed to day
and witnesses were examined as to the con
dition and cruel treatment of the prisoner
at Andersonville.
Nazareth Allen testified that he was for
a while in the Confederate service at An-
derionville, and was a guard there, at
tached to the 6th Alabama Baserves. He
knew that Captain Wirz was commander
of the prison. He had seen men in the
stocks and in the chain gang. One man
died in tne stocks. He wax thus punished
for attempting to escape. On one occasion
a prisoner stepped out of the ranks to ak
Captain Wirz to tranfer him to another
mess when Wirs ordered him back, cursing
him and threatening to shoot him. Wit
ness testified at length on the filthy condi
tion of the prison. The stench was so bad
while he was on duty in the stockade that
ne was sick pretty much all of the time.
He and others made comolaints to their
officers on the subject. A man who was
sick, lying on the ground calling in his
distress for his mother, asked witness for
tent material, but he could not give the
articles as it was against orders. Prison
ers were deprived of vegetables, including
onions, which they had purchased at the
gate. He knew that hounds were kept at
tne prison to scent inoee wao naa escaped.
jrosB-exaa.inea dj aeienee. witness
ts conscripted into the Confederate ser
vice. He had never seen any of the pris
oner s shot, nor did he shoot any ot them ;
never had orders to shoot prisoners who
cross ea tne aeaa line, xne nounds were
common plantation dogs, and not particu
larly ugiy or savage ; nad never seen a
man bitten by them.
Capt. i. Heath who had been on duly in
Andersonville prison, in the Confederate
service, testified that in August, 1864,
win sent id men to mm to be ironed;
they were brought by a Provost Marshal
attached to Gen. Winder's headquarters.
The next day twelve of these men were
ironed; one ot tnem got away, when
hounds were put on his scent; the man
was discovered up a tree, and a pistol was
fired at him: Wirs commanded him to
come down ; the man asked that the dogs
might not be permitted to bite him ; they
nowever attacked mm wnen ne descended.
Biung at ms legs. Wirz could have taken
the prisoner, but did not call the hounds
off. He recollected of a sick man being
put in a chain gang; he did not know
whether the man died cr not; be did not
like to tell what ailed the man, there being
lauies in tie voun jtoom.
Judge Advocate Hhipman said, witness
could modestly tell what ailed him.
Witness then said the man had the diar
rhea and those with whom he was chained
said they would be damned if they Would
listened to such a man ; they to travel
the same time, to the same place, for the
same purpose ; namely, to the sink.
The witness had seen the prisoner knock
down two or three prisoners, once when a
movement of the prisoners commenced,
because one of them tried to get out with
equad to which he did not belong.
Witness was cross-examined at some
length by the defence, saving among other
things that before the stockade was ex
tended he heard Wirz say that if any
more prisoners were sent there would not
room enough for them.
The court here took a recess from 1 to
o'clock.
When the court
it
of
it
and
re-assembled General
Thomas, a member of the court, called at
tention to an article which appeared in
yesterday's Evening Star, as follows:
im records of tbe Andersonville prison,
captured by Gen. Willson and furnished
tne War Department to the expedition
to Andersonville by Secretary Stanton
lay out a cemetery and mark the graves
our soldiers who died in prison in that
place, have turned up missing since the
return of the party. One of the clerks of
t arturiirfiteT a jjtpuiuicji, ac
companied tne expedition, and in whose
hands the records were last seen, has
placed under arrest by the military
authorities until he can give a satisfactory
account of tbe disposition made ot them.
it is thou ht by some that if the records
were stolen instead of lost it was for the
purpose of preventing their use as evi
dance sgainst Wirz, the keeper of the
Andersonville prison now ben.- on trial
General Thomas said he wanted the
prison or tried fairly and therefore asked
whether it was true that the records had
lost or stolen.
Colonel Cbipman replied that the hos
records and register of deaths, with
exception, were in charge of the
to the Committee. He Jid not know
what article in the Star the idea was
based. The Government intended to in
troduce the records at the proper time.
Mr. .Baker said ne knew nothing about
them.
Colonel CbipmiB remarked that the al
legation in tbe atar was so indefinite that
was impossible to tell whether the pa
alluded to have ever been in posses
sion of the government or not He report
ed that the hospital and death registers
not stolen, and would be introduced
the proper time.
Mr. Baker knew nothing about the
statements in the newspapers he had read.
far as the counsel for the prisoner was
concerned they would be happy to have
produced all tne records bearing upon the
Andersonville prison. He asked that all tbe
prisoner ever did be laid before the court
Colonel Chipman said the article could
relate to the papers in his custody.
Mr. lla-er said 11 it was not inconsistent
the Judge Advocate's duty, the
records should be put wnere the Counsel
the defense could have access to them.
Col. Chipman said, if you cn convince
that I am not capable of taking care
them I will do so.
Mr. Baker We make the request wi'.h
proviso that if it could be done con
sistently with your duty.
Cel. Chipman That is another ques
tion. Mr. Baker That was all we asked, in all
for our client
Col. Chipman It is not now consistent
my duty to produce papers.
Mr. Baker We made the request
civilly, for information. We need all
papers very much.
Wm. WUliard, late in the service of the
Confederate army, at Andersonville, cer
tified to the filthy state of the prison and
miserable condition of the prisoners,
owing to the want of the necessaries of
and from other causes. He gave some
in connection with men in a chain
gang, or banted by hounds.
Calvin Honey cut h, who was also in the
service at Anderson rille, said he saw
Wiiz draw his pistol and threaten
shoot a man who was sick for not stand
ing in line. The prisoners attempting to
escape were bunted down by hounds. He
one man who was torn in the leg by
another man was whipped on his
back with a stick because he blacked
face and attempted to escape with a
of negroes.
as. Mabon, who was in the Confederate
army, and on duty at Andersonville, testi
fied thtt he and an Assistant Provost Mar

received bis verbal orders irom Capt
Wirz through an orderly sergeant One
the men called "Frenchy." however,
his escape. Capt Wirz sail, when
heard of it : "That damned Frenchy
escaped again," and he sent for dogs,
which got on the track of the man. who
captured near a stream. Wirz got off
horse and went along by the tide of
dogs ; witness judged that it was Wirz
fired the pistol at the man ; the man's
trousers were torn by the dogs. He did
know whether the flesh was injured.
Witness had heard Wirz remark that be
wished all the prisoners were in hell and
himself with them.
The witnesses above named were cross
examined at length. The last one said it
a laborious and vexatious task to take
of prisoners and he did not think any
would be ambitious to have the situa
tion. Judge Samuel Hall, of Georgia, residing

that the rushing of additional prisoners

Hartford Carpet Company which is un

Blatchiord, of the Chicago Lead and Iron
Works, for himself and his company, was
made Secretary. The meeting then de

This package embraced a letter from
Morris Ketchum to his creditors. Also,
letters to Mr. Ketchum from Thomas
.Belknap, Jr., one of. the partners. This
last one covered the copy of ' a letter from
Air. swan, partner to Edward B Ketchum.
The letter to young Ketchum is dated the
4th of August, 1865, and showed an effort
had been made by the junior partners to
bring E. B. Ketchum's individual specula
tion to a close with the view of terminating
nis connection with the firm.
A great deal of discussion ensued. In
the course of the discussion it Was asked if
the firm had paid anything, or made any
provision for taking up the forged gold
checks of young Ketchum, which are not
considered part of the liabilities of the firm,
in full, and positive assurance was given
tnat tne nrm naa taken ne such action in
regard to his forgeries.
CREDITORS ACCEPT.
On motion of Mr. James K. Place the
creditors decided unanimously to accept
proposition which had been made
to them, and restore the estate
in the hands of assignees to Ketchum, Son
ot Co.'s creditors. They however reserved
any claims . to the abstracted securities
against any person in whose bands these
securities may be found. Morris Ketchum
then stated that himself and his partners
had not fully determined before the meet
ing that they would undertake to pay 60
per cent, but that after the vote he would
undertake to make good the engagement
which the creditors had thus virtually ef
fected. He said he would undertake to keep
it even if it required a sacrifice, not only
of the property assigned, but of Mrs.
Ketchum's right of dower, and his real
estate valued at $385,000
The total amount of liabilities is reported
by the Committee, including a loan of
$250,000, which the house disputes, was
$3,935,608 85. The assets amounted to
$3,093,000. Phis includes $243,000 which
the firm hopes to recover from the estate
of young Ketchum and the abstracted
bonds. It can be recovered only by a
long case of litigation.

COTTON.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.
The World's correspondent from Augus
Georgia says : I travelled recently 80
miles along the line of Sherman's march,
and not a bale of cotton, or a cotton-gin, or
escaped the torch in all that region,
it was only twenty miles in width and
constituted but a small portion of the
State. There is nearly a full crop, however,
and the crop for the State will amount to
about 45,000 bales. There were about 300,.
bales in the State when the war closed.
South Carolina is smaller than Georgia,
Sherman's march was through a larger
portion of her territory, and but 25,000
bales are to be found within her limits.
The moving of cotton at Selma and
Montgomery by Gen. Willson and the
Confederate authorities, was more destruc
tive than the ravages of Sherman in
Georgia. But thirty-11 va thousand bales
will he carried to seaports from Alabama.
The production of Florida is small, and
from Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas
large part of the cotton had been trans
ported belore the close of the war. These
four States will furnish three hundred
thousand bales more.
From the western part of Texas much of
cotton had found an outlet through
Mexico, but from the middle and north
eastern portion the production had been
larger, and neither the Federal nor Con
federate forces had 'destroyed it, so that
200,000 bales will be furnished from this
State. The present year's crop will add tint
little to the resources of the Southern
States. Peace come too late in the season
induce planting, and the low price of
cotton compare 1 with corn and provisions
discouraged its production.
In January thirty-five miles which I
recently made through the heart of the
State, I saw but one field ot cotton, and
reports from every part of the country are
same. 'A few fields of corn were
pulled up to give place to cotton,
when the news of peace arrived between
General Government and the seceded
States. But the season of the year was
far advanced to make this general. It
believed that not one hundred thousand
bales of cotton will be raised this year in
South Carolina, Florida or Alabama.

His presence in that locality is accounted!
for by the fact that about ten years ago

bad one of its wagons break down, and
young anaconda then escaped. He had
grown to full size, and may be considered
a living wonder. The snake was seen by
Andrew Stocker, of Salem township, soma

in his field. It was as large as an ordina

JOHN BROUGH.
Phrenological Delineation of His Character
Phrenological Delineation of His Character---Anecdotes.
The following phrenologies- sketch of
the character of Governor Brough is by
Fowler and Wells of New York :
This portrait represents a very marked
character; there is "meaning" in every
feature, and great force and executiveness .
in the whole. The body is strong and
heavy, the brain large, and the mind active
and comprehensive. He is more like "neavy
ordnance" than light artillery; and though
ponderous, is supple and active.
We infer that he descended from a long
lived and healthy ancestry, and resembles
his mother, or her family, some of v horn
must have been conspicuous and leading
characters. The frame work of this organiza
tion is large, while the internal machinery
is kept well lubricate 1, and in excellent
orkmg condition. The vital principle, be
ing elaborated as fast as wanted by the aid
of an excellent appetite, the best digestion
and the most perfect circulation, the lamp
of life is kept full almost to overflowing,
and if he suffers from anything, It will be
from too much blood, resulting in inflam
mation, apoplexy, gout, or some Kindred,
disease. But if he lives temperately, prop
erly dieting himself, and taking plenty of
out-door exercise, performing some bodily
labor daily, he can live healthfully until a
nunarea years 01a, more or lees, depending
on how he lives. But the tendency of hut
nature is to work, which is the opposite of
a passive, indolent, or lazy spirit; and yet.
he makes his head save his hands when he
can, and, now hard he may work, however
mountainous the task he sets himself about,
he so plans and adjusts all things as to ac
complish it with comparatively little' fric
tion and to go over a greater extent of
ground than is usual with more nervous
men.
Such a man will make every step count
and every blow tell; he will economize is
all things strength, money and time
waBting nothing. Ha belongs to an eco
nomical family, who pro nobly became
"forehanded" chiefly by saving, and though
there is a disposition to engage in trade,
commerce, banking, or other commercial
pursuits, there is also considerable mechan
ical ingenuity, and very excellent planning
talent indicated, and should he give his
mind to it, oould even invent ; and he will
excel in devising ways and means to ac
complish ends. Such a mind has resources
within itself, and is seldom foan d in str&itf ,
but his mode of accomplishing difficult
ends will not be so muh by mere strata
gem as by main force. There is " breadth
of beam in this organization, wiih a will
sufficient for any emergency. He will
take an independent position and main
tain it
Integrity is a leading feature; resolution
and decision hold him steadily to any pur
pose ; and he is never feund wanting in
will-power or executiveness, to carry out
his undertakings, cost what they may.
There is great aidor and warmth of affec
tion, and in this, also, he is emphatically
his mother's son, being amply endowed
with her social qualitces.
His love for home and country is clearly
indicated, and alth5ugh he may be fond of
travel, would be happier at home, sur
rounded by his kinsmen, among whom he
would became a sort of patriarch and
leader, a pillar, agtinst which ethers may
lean for support ; to whom the commun
ity would go for counsel and advice, aad
in whose judgment and integrity all would
repose the fullest conflaence.
There is much dignity and sense of char
acter here, without vanity or mere love
for display ; he would appreciate, but not
court the good opinion of others. He has
a high sense of respect for those whom
he considered entitled to it; is devotional
and inclined to yield to re'iglous influences.
He has both faith and trust in Providence:
also a high degree of sympathy, kindness
and " good will toward men." But there
is authority here, and those who come un
der it must take and keep their places ; a
ready compliance, however, would make
the yoke easy, for he would not be harsh or .
severe with those dependent upon him, fot
his benevolence and affection would be
freely exercised toward all, extending even
to animals;; and he would carefully see to
it that the horse, the ox, and even the dog,
were provided for and made comfortable.
When, however, an organization like this
becomes perverted, it is most difficult to
manage, and if he should lose his temper.
something would break.
Observe tne make of his nose; it is
something like the beak of an eagle; note
the fullness of the upper lip, which indi
cates the love of powar, authority, dignity,
and will, which , wnen there seems to be
occasion, would assume an expression not
to be trifled with. When auairs go on
smoothly and there is no friction, his face
is full of sunshine; but, when surrounded
by difficulties, annoyed by the short; ,
comings of others in whom he may'
have misplaced confidence, he is ca
pable of the deepest indignation, and
for the moment has something of
the feeling of a Nero. Bnt he is a good
judge of character, a Napoleon in selecting
tne " ngnt men ior tne rigai piace," ana
is not easily deceived. At the head of an
important trust, suitably supported by
competent aids, he would be capable of con
ducting tbe affairs of a state or nation,
for he has a broad and comprehensive
mind, a well-balanced intellect, with a high
moral and religious sense, all combining
to make him a power in the world, and
suitable, if qualified by education and ex
perience, to lead the leaders. If he is not
a great man, it is not the fault of organ.
ztilion. - If he is not a good man, it
ii because he has been wickedly per
verted ; and if he is not a successful man,
it is because he has not made good use
of his God-given talents, and of such op
portunities as befall most men. Eminently
social, highly honorable, frank, candid ar.d
open-hearted, with only that reserve which
comes from moderate cautiousness and a
prudent intellect, a warm heart, and some
what impulsive, with far more thoughts
