M-assa-ar--
Rome, (Ia., Sept. 1, 18G5.
ifr.Artewut Ward, Slioieman-r-Suv. The
reesun I write to you In portiklor, are be
kana yon art about the only man I know
in all "God's country" to-rttlell. For mm
several weeks I hnv. been wantin to lay
snmthin. For Bum several yeara wa robs
totalled, but now late of said county de
ceased, hav been trying mity hard to do
sumthin. Wa didn't quite do it, and now
its very painful, T assure you, to dry up
all of sudden and make out like we
wasn't thar.
My frend, I want to say sumthin. I
snrposa there la no law atrin thinkin , but
thinkin dont help me. It dont let down
my thermometer. I must explode myself
generally so as to feel better. You Bee
I'm trying to harmonise. I'm tryln to
soften down my feelins. I'm endeavor
ing to subjugate myself to the level of sur
reundin circumstances, to-ealtei. But I
can't do It until I am allowed to Bay Bam
thin. I want to quarrel with somebody
and then mako friends. I alnt no giant
killer. . I ainl po Norwegian bar. . I aint
no boar-constriktcr, bnt I'll be hornswsg-
tried if the lalkin and the writin and tho
ilanderin has got to be all dona on one
side any longer. ' Some of your folks have
got to dry up or turn oar folks loose, , It's
a blamed outrage, no-railed. ' Aint your
editors got nuthin else to do but to pook
at wt, and squib at ws, and crow orerut ?
Is every man whs,t kanrrile a pararaf
to consider us as bars in a eage, and be al
ways a joVbin at ua to hear us growl ?
Now you see my frend, that's what's dis
harmonious, and do you jest tell em, one
and all, pluribus unum, to-called, that
if the don't stop it 1st onco.or. turyi. us
loose to say what we please, why wo rebs,
tO'Called, have unsnirrtnusly and jointly
and severally resolved' to to to -think
very hard of it if not harder.,. , ;
, Thata the way to talk it. I aintagwina
to commit myself. I know when, to put,
on the brakes. 1 aint agwioe to say all
I think like Mr. Ethorldgo, or Mt Adder
rig, to-failed. Nary time. No, sir. ',. Rut
I'll jest tell you, Artomus, and you may
fell It to jovt fhowj jf Tfejiifit llowod to
expresotir sentiments, weean take it out
in Aaftn; and ba.in runs heavy in my famt-1
ly, ahure. I hated 8 man bo bad onca that
all the hair cum off my bead, and the man
drowned hirosolf in 8 hog-waller that
night. I kmild 'do it agin, but you see
I'm try in to harmonise, to acquiesoa, to
bekua kalm and screen. " ' .' ' ".'
Now I suppose that pootikally speakio,
"In Pixie'a fall
- . We ainned a)i;;
But talkin the way I ace it, a big feller
and 8 littlo fullor, to calUd, got Into 8 Ate,
and they font and font and font a lotftr
time, and everybody ail round kep holler
in hands off but kep helpin the big fslUr,
until Anally the little feller eavtd In and
hollered enuf. . Ha made a bully fits I toll
you, Pelah. Wall what did the big feller
do ? take htm by the hand and - help him
up, and brush the dirt off his clothes ?
Nary time I No sur I JJut he kloked blm
arterhe was down,1 and throwd mud on
him, and drug him about and rabbed aand
in his eyes, and now be a gwlna about
huntin up Via poor littUproperly. Wants
to eonfiskatt it, tocolUd. Blamo my Jaktt
if it aint touf to make your bead swim. "
Rut I'm a good TToiou man m-calkd,
I aint astwina to file ao more. I shan't
vote for tht next war. I ain't no currill
I've does tuk tht oath, and I'm gwiat to
keep it, but aa for my boin aubjugated,
and huroilyated, and 'amalgamated, and
enervated, aa Mr. Chase says, it aint so
nary time. I ain't ashamed of nuthin,
neither, ain't rcpontin, ain't, aiio for no
ont horse, abort-winded pardon, rtoood v
needn't be playin prieat a round ma. 1
ain't ret no twenty thousand dollars. Wish
I had; I'd ptve'it to these poor widers
and orfina. I'd fatten my owa numerous
and interestia offspring ia abouttwo miaiu
and a half. They shouldent eat roots aa J
drink bra- ch water no longer. Poor un
fortunate thingat to turn into this sub
loonary world at Wh a time. There's
four or Bvt of 'em that never aaw a air
kus nor a monkey show never had a
pocket knife, nor a piece of cheese, nor a
rtesin. Thert it Bull Run Arp, aad liar
per'e Ferry Arp, and Chikhomtoy Arp,
that never aeed tht piktert in a spellio
took. I tell you my frend, wt art tht
poorest people on tht fact of tht earth
nut wt art poor and proud. Wt mad a
bully Ight, 8lahi aad tht whole. Anatri
kin nation ought to feel proud of it. It
shows what Aumikiaa caa da when thev
think they art imposed tcUL
Didn't our four fathers f tt bleed, and die
about 8 little tax c-a teea, whea not tat
ia 8 thousau drunk it? Rekaua they sL

they would havt beta htwia and aerapla

Ings In the case of Cajd. Wilis, late fomifiandsu!
of the military tirlsnn at Amleraonvlllo, (icorgla,
now on trial at Washington for his life, for atroci
ties charged to have licea committed by him upon
Federal prisoners In bis enstodv, I obrerve that lb
Impression Is sought lo lie made that the cruelties .
said lo have been perpetrated at that prison were
not only unnninl at military prisuns and were ac
tually committed, but that they were authofired
and ordered by the Confederate (lovcrunirnt. The
object ol this effort to throw aildltlunal odlnm np
ou the Confederate Government Is very transpn-'
rent, it Is none, as 1 conceive simply for the pur
pone of furnishing fresh pretexts for the persecu
tion of the distinguished Confederates now lying
in the Government prisons awaiting their trials.
Whether the trial of Cetitald Wirt will be a
fair one or not, the result will show. Of that I do
not now Intend to apeak. Certain It la, that wit
nesses have been Introduced to establish the fact of
easterns and usages In the treatment of Federal
prisoners at Andersnnvllle, which every Intelligent
man at alt conversant with the subject knows to
have been universal In prisons both North and
South. Much for Instance, as depriving- tirlseriers
of their money whea they entered the prison, and
shooting tl.ero ir they passed the dead line and
the Republican press hsve held np their bands In
boly horror at these hrpocrltlral narrations, as If
no suck customs prevailed In Northern orisons and
no Confederate prisoners had ever been starved,'
murdered, or robbed. The great point which ap
pears to be retied on to establish the fact of cruelty
to the prisoners at Andersnnvllle Is the great mur-'
lallty which occurred there. The mortality was
certainly without a parallel lo any Southern prison,
out ir uie statements or northern presses, woo
have been candid enough to sneak out On the sob. ;
Jeet, and the narrative ot prisoners themselves ran '
be relied on, the ratio of mortality, to the number '
confined, will be found upon Investigation to hsve
been about ae groat, tn some, at least, of the North- '
era prisons. This (hot however, will ui I be devel
oped at this time, for It would redound to the In
terest of Cantaln Wins, snd that, 1 presume Ii not
tus onject or tits present prosecution.,
ADiiersonvllls prbved. upon trial, ' to be a verr
unhealthy location for men of Northern constitu
tions, n Neither the sdmate or the water seemed to
agree with lbs prlsokors son fined there.' The un
derstanding throiighoitt the Houth was that the'
prisoners received tht itme rations as the soldier 1
of the Confederate eieu'.and, the fart .thai thry "
were without shelter, fi.es for littlo, tv urn II IS re-'
membared that limy bere soldiers.1 snd that tha
soldiers of the ennfedutute army had fur years no '
other cohering than lb" broad canopy nf heaven. '
Tt eetaiiisii we coags ir-at 4 he Confederate'
Government waa a part) lo any unusual prsctlt es .
which tney bo developed, It must be shown that '
Uie practices referred lo were common In nil the
prisons) and, If It Is alleged that the extraordinary
mortality at Andessonrilla was ths result of orael
tlcs, It tnu:t be shows tliat Uie same mortality was :
exhibited at tho othur prisons also, for ths prisons ,
were all under the general supervision and illrcC-'
Uon of the same ollUer the Ootmhlsmry Oouoral '
ot prisoners. General Windor, tilled tliis olllco for '
a considerable time, snd was succeeded upon bis -doath
by Gen. Vlllow, .
I hapien to bt In possession nf a fhrt which has
sn Important lienring Nion this point, and which '
Is too Intimately connected with tht truth of bis
tory to be suppressed, It Is this: . , ,( ,
Oil or about tho JHlhof April Inst, the Tost Sur
geon of the prison at Cahaiia, which was located
a few miles from Helnia, Alabanui, sent- to ths pa- "

ths document oa Ills tor publication, but' the snd- -den
arrltal of the army under the command of
Uen. Wilson, Snd the capture of the illy prevon- ,
ted It. This list embraced, as nearly as I can now
remember, about one hundred and rllty names, and
:hat was the sum . total of deallis out of the five
thournnd prisoners who had been conftued thort
during the year. ' Can the records of any N irtlirrn
prison show so small a ratio of mortality T I Imag
