OOPPEBBIUD ABUSE OF SOIf
BIBBS’ All> SOCIETIES*
Of tbc’xnilllons and tens of millions which
the patriotic benevolence of the people have
contributed to relieve the suffering of onr
soldiers, and administer to their wants, not
one percent of It ha* come out of the pock
ets of the copperheads. They arc no friends
of the Union soldiers. Their sympathies arc
‘ with those who fight In butternut garb. But
while they contribute nothing themselves
for the comfort or relief of onr brave boys
In the Add, they keep up a noisy and contin
ual assault on those who do. Ever since the
day tho Soldiers* Sanitary Society was estab
lished In this city, the organ of Jeff Davis
has assailed it unceasingly. Every species
of attack has been tried; the integrity of the
Board of Managers has been impeached;
they have been accused of swindling the don
ors, and consuming the gills in high salaries;
of misappropriating articles contributed, and
of cheating both soldiers and people; of spec
ulating and purloining the moneys in their
hands, of rapacity and peculation,—ln short,
of every crime in the calendar except mur
der, rape and arson.
No friend of the soldier, or of the Union
cause, ever makes such charges against the
Chicago Sanitary * Commission. The accosS;
tlons are brought by secessionists and traitors
only, and the sole object of this nefarious
work Is, to cause the people to withholdc
their gills, and discontinue those relief soci
eties, by making them believe that they ar
unfaithfully conducted. By breaking up the
Sanitary Commissions, thousands of onr
brave boys would surely die, who,*by means
of their timely aid arc saved, and miseries
and hardships of the soldiers' life .would be
unmitigated and unrelieved, and as a conse
quence, discontent and desertions would be
’greatly increased, and thereby the rebel cause
would bepromoted. Very man/ofthe rc-cn
that are place are due to
the work of the Soldier's Aid Societies, which
have made the soldier's life endurable, robbed
it of many of its dangers, added to its little
comforts, and above all, immensely
intensified the patriotic resolution of the
army to put down the rebellion at every haz
ard. The tokens of love and core sent to the
soldiers from home through these societies
cause them to fed that they are not forgot
ten; that the eyes of their friends arc upon
them, and their hearts arc with them In this
terrible struggle. Therefore it is the interest
of the rebel sympathizers to chill this sym
pathy and cut this cord that unites the patri
otic citizens with the bravo veterans in the
Add. Hence, they attack the aid societies
which transmit the gifts of the people to the
army.
The Devil and Jeff Davis' children, who
are brothers, hove sharp eyes, and allow no
chrnce to inflict injury on the Union cause
to escape them. But there will be a reckon
ing day for these secession villains, and that
not long hence. Some of them will get'out
of Chicago in a greater hurry than they did
out of Detroit for opening .a fire In the rear
on the soldiers of Michigan. The order to
44 dry up ".win be more peremptory than
that issued by Burnside, mid there will be no
revocation of it through the misplaced inter
* vention of influentialßcpublicans, who,by the
Way, have since been paid for their kindness
by a volley of abuse as scurrilious and ma
lignant as that poured upon the soldiers* aid
societies. *
REBEL TREATMENT OF OUR
SLAIN SOLDIERS.
The horrible behavior of the rebels to our
slain soldiers on the hard-fought field of
Cbickamauga, has never attracted the atten
tion it deserves. It was charged that Gener
al Bragg and his Confederates, after being in
possession of thcbattle ground for more than
eight weeks, neglected to give our slain sol
diers a burial, even in a trench. The copper
head sheets have tried to explain it away by
saying that Bragg’s army was short of picks
and shovels I which is a point blank false
hood. A copy of the Mobile StjisUr of No
vember 7,18C3, has been placed m oar hands
by a returned soldier, from which we
rcproduccpn another column, of an army let
ter written by one of Bragg’s officers to that
sheet, confusing in the fullest and most un
blushing language the shocking treatment
our slain soldiers received at rebel bands.
For two months the bodies of one thousand
of our fallen braves lay where they fell, pa
trifying in the sun, food for bine files and
beasts and birds of prey. The heads of many
were severed from the trunk and stuck on
poles, or placed on stumps, for rebel admlra
tlon and edification. The main wagon road
of the rebels from their depot of supplies
led across the battle field, and thousands of
Confederates dally passed by and rode over
the dead bodies# of our soldiers for eight
weeks. It was not until after the battle of
Chattanooga mid the rout of the rebels, and
until 4hcy were driven South of the battle
field of Chlckamauga, that those . bod
ies of the dead “heroes were interred.
What be said of the civilization of a
people who thus treat their fallen foest?
How much better are they than the painted
savages of the forest ? And yet these brutes
arc the high-toned chivalry we used to, heir
so much about; they are the “Southern
brethren” whom our Northern Copperheads
love eo dearly and sympathize with so ten
derly. Bet read the account as described by
a rebel eye-witness. This is no “ Abolition
exageraUon” in • the recital of horror and
rebel savagely. It is the unvarnished talc of
one who does not disapprove of the conduct
of bis fellows, but rather thinks it is all
right and proper.
WcCLUILAN’S LETTER TO THE
RESIDENT.
Saturday's issue of the TmnuxE contained
an abstract of Gen. McClellan's report of bis
operations -while in command of the Potomac
ftrtnr The original document —the joint
work of McClellan, Porter and others—mates
a bbok of one thousand printed pages. No
General since "wars brgan, ever issued such a
mass of stuff, in the shape of a “report” It
is almost as long as Waller Scott's life of
Napoleon, or Napier's Peninsula Campaigns,
• and all about wlrnt he did and what he didn’t,
while he employed the army digging ditches,
and in retreating frem them. Not one man
In ten thonsand will ever take the time to
wade through, or incur IJie espouse of pur*
■ebutiug, this enormous mess of apology and
justification for unimproved opportunities.
Put there is one page in St that lias been dug
out of the snrrouhdirg mbblsb by some pa
tient and persevering letter writer, that will
be read by many. We refer to Lis letter to
President Lincoln, written from Harrison's j
Landing. July 7, LBC2, just after his disastrous
repulse from Richmond, and while his army
was Sn* a most deplorable plight, battered,
bruised and bleeding, melting under a tropi
cal heat, sickening by thousands, and saved
from capture or destruction by the gunboats.
It was under Ibis condition of things that
McClellan indited to the President a letter,
t lnstructing him in his political duty, and
_ threatening him, In cflfcct, with the breaking
up and dissolution ‘of the army, unless
he adopted as a guide for bis politi
cal course the programme laid down by
the “grave-digger of the Chickahomlny. *
That letterwe refer Ito now, lest some of oar
readers may have neglected to peruse It.
The epistle reads just like the New Tork
Herald editorials published at the time. True
it avoids the vulgar swagger of the SeraJd,
but contains the some train of ideas, and pre
scribes the came copperhead method of con
ducting the war, and it was doubtless from
that dirty and disloyal fountain that McClel
land imbibed his war policies.
It will strike the “ common people” as a
singular specimen of military subordination
. for the general of an army to undertake to
dictate to the commander-in-chief the politi
cal management of the rebellion, and bold
cut to him threats that unices he does thus
and so, on the slavery question, “ our present
armies will rapidly disintegrate,” and the
■“ effort to replace them will be hopeless.”
• Bead the following camples taken from
this lecture of the subordinate to bis chief
' 1 They are decidedly cool:
This rebellion bafc assumed the character or war:
as such It chould be regarded, and U should be
conducted on the hitbest principles mown to
<3briHiaan civilization. It should not be a war
looking to the subjugation ot the people of any
State on any event, ft should not be at all a war
ttpon population, but against armed forces and po
litical organization. correction qf prop
erty, political executions of persons, territorial or
ganizations of States, or fordUt alolitlcn of tlat'
tiv. should be contemplated for a moment. * • *
Military power ebomd not be allowed to interfere
with the rdcUone qf urtUvde , either by support-
Sns or impairing tuc authority of the master, ex
ccptlorreprceslDßdlfordcr.aainoibcrciaca. • •
The right oftbe Government to appropriate per- i
mauently tolls own service claims ot slave labor ;
should be asserted, and the light qf the owner to
compensation therefor rbould be recognized. • •
Unices the principles coverning the future con
duct of our straggle shall be made known and op
nroted the effort to obtain requisite forces will be
aimosti boneless. A declaration of radical vuw,
slavery. will rapidly disintegrate
cur present aimies.
- The first of ihese commands to the Presi
dent, in effect, assumes that the war hod not
been conducted on “ principles of Christian
civilization,” but had been waged on our part
the manner of barbarians. It is at least
true that, tip to that period it had been conduc
ted according to the copperhead policy and
none but copperhead generals were entrusted
with important commands.
* But “ there must be no confiscation of the
property of rebels, and the relation of servi
sudo must not be Impaired.” The loya
slaves of d&oyal muUn most *>* ko Pt
their task by the “iron band,” as he expressed
it in his West Virginia proclamation. If the
bcitlccb of Blares are appropriated they must
be paid for, whether the owner la a rebel ornot,
and finally If the President shall declare ra
dical rlcws upon the slavery question lit
will be Impossible to obtain any more soldiers,
and the present armies will “rapidly disinteg
rate,” break np and go home!
But the falsehood of this prediction is folly
equal to Its impertinence. Shortly after tho
receipt of the letter the President commenced
h!s series of “ radical war measures,” by is
suing the hundred days notice of the Eman
cipation Proclamation, rapidly followed by
orders to hie commanders to cease guarding,
and to commence seizing, the property of
rebels,' without * compensation; ■to receive
and protect all slaves escaping within our
lines ; snd finally came the order to arm and
organize the contrabands as soldiers, and set
them to fighting their rebel masters. All
these radical measures the army hailed with
delight and enforced with alacrity. Instead
of “ rapidly disintegratingour armies,” these
radical warpollcles wrought exactly the con
trary effect, Infusing hope and contentment
into the ranks where before existed despond
ency and discontent. The “declaration of
radical views ” of the Presidentproduced re
sults throughout the country similar to that
amoeg the soldiers. The President's radical
programme was triumphantly endorsed at
the polls, and coppcrhcadismlies howling in
the dust. Foreign intervention which In con
servative ’C2, was gathering like ablack thun
der cloud, ready to break, in radical '63, was
dispelled, and has passed away, and the
masses of Europe now say to their rulers
now that the Federate fight for liberty as
well as Union, there must he a fair Acid, and
no favor shown to the rebels.
The war during ISC2 was conducted In
strict accordance with copperhead policy,
and closed disastrously, Ailing the country
with gloom; but the next year it was man
aged on radical principles, andbchold the re
sult 1 Victory after victory was achieved; the
rebellion and slavery both have received their
mortal wound. The veterans of tho army
arc re-enlisting by regiments and brigades,
and thousands of recruits are volunteering to
fill up the ranks and he in at the death. And
thus the wisdom of a “declaration of radical
views is justified, while the copperhead pre
dictions of McClellan have come to naught,
and the reliance of thcrcbcls on their North
ern sympathizers to opcji a paralyzing fire
in-ihc-rcaris shockingly disappointed.
Is it any wonder that the great army of
the Potomac which set out on its campaign
220,000 strong melted away like snow before
a spring snn, under the leadership of this
pro-slavery bigot, who was so terribly affle
ted with “nigger on the brain” that even
when his army seemed in atiieulo mortis he
could think of nothing else to write abontto
the President except to warn him that he
must not hurt the rebels by confiscating their
property orlibcratlngtbeir slaves! One idea
- to every reader: Why tho Presi
dent did not remove this copperhead on the
■ Instant he received the menacing and dictate;
rial epistle ?
A SEULt HAN IN A LARGE PLACE.
The State of New York deserves commis
scration. In an evil hour, under the effect of
discouragement and impotence, she elevated
to her head one Srynumr— his initials at this
moment arc forgotten—but it is not the oth
er Seymour of Connecticut This one was
thought to be a great improvement on that,
but he turns out to he even sorrier, If that
thing is possible. He was elected under the
ciy of “a more vigorous prosecution of the
war!” But if he has done an act which does
not prove the cry to have been a fraud, since
he was elected, nobody knows what the act
Is. A vigorous prosecution of the war means
soldiers enough to cany it on. Under the
manly exertions of Governor Morgan, hi? pre
decessor, New York put into the field a very
respectable body of men, though not quite
enough to make up her quota.* Under the
“more vigorous prosecution” management,
somewhere from half a dozen to a dozen regi
ments were drummed out in the course of a
year; and now, unless we are mistaken, New
York is behind all the States except Penn
sylvania, in the matter of soldiers. Govern
or Seymour's address to the rioters in July
we all remember. That address, in fact, will
never be forgotten. It has made' Seymour
historic. The Governor Is now at workwith
the Metropolitan Police Board, in the city of
New York, which he is trying to sqnclch un
der some plea or other. The real trouble Is,
however, that the Board has come to act in
dependently of political parries, and has thus
realized on end long sought by the better
portion of the New York people. This was
throughly proved in the riots of last sum
mer, when the police worked heroically to
suppress the mob, Irrespective of political
affinities. BatthisisprcdselywhattheGov
ernor docs not like.
And this reveals precisely what is the mat
ter with the Governor. He is too small a
man to rise above the petty partisan. He
will wade, in a time of war, through all the
dirt and slush which it is thought necessary
to go though in a time of peace, when we
have nothing else to do, to gain a petty ad
vantage in politics. Hence, in all the ranks
of copperheadism, a poorer concern Is not to
be found than this New York Seymour.
Even Phernandiwnd is above him in policy.
Poor Vallandigharu vras'direct and spiteful to
the lest that was heard of him. Bat Sey
mour is nowhere. He smells party bait, but
docs not know how to get to it. He goes
squeaking about on all sides of the road, like
an old sled that ought to have been in pieces
winters ago.
And the people of Ncw York groan to be
delivered. And all the country groans; for
oil the countiy is concerned. New York is
the very heart of the Union, and we all feel
her blunders like our own. She has men to
tpare, and vigor to use them. But she has
blundered wofully, and will have to wait de
liverance. ‘

BaUroads oftho United States.
Tho American BaUroad Journal sums up
the actual mileage of railroads completed la
the United States on the Ist of January,
1864, at 53,860 miles, with about 10,000 miles
additional that arc or have been, under con
struction. The increase of completed roads
during the past year has been 1,390 miles.
Of tho completed roads, 24,927 miles are In
the loyal States, and 8,938 miles In the States
now in rebellion. The condition of the lat
ter Is so bad that many of them, on the re
turn of the States to loyalty, could be more
property classed among the roads “under
construction.” The total cost ofthc.com
plcted roads and their equipment in the Uni
ted States, Is ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
AND SIXTY-SIX MILLION DOLLARS—quite a TC
epcctable sum of money to he invested in one
branch of business.

Military operations, though not remakably
extensive in this section, are far from being
stationary. Gen. Crook’s cavalry division,
which has been one of the most active bodies
of troops in the army of the Cumberland in
their late operations, is now at this plaic.
They arc*to be assigned to the important du
ty of clearing Middle Tennessee of rebels.
Roddy is continually sending out “thiev
ing detachments,” and U has been deemed
necessary to let loose among them some such
men ns Wilder’s, just to remind them that
though their actions give unmistakable evi
dence of the existence of a devil, there Is
also a “ God in Israel.”
Roddy’s main force is still at Tuscumbia,
and it is probable that he prefers warm quar
ters within the town to camping in the field
this cold weather.
The work of re-enlistment is still progress
ing. The 7th, COth and 57th Illinois regi
ments have gone in again, and are now fight
ing over the mastering officer, or each Is
anxious.to be mustered in ilrsi, and start
home on furlough.
Col. Chctlain, formerly in command of the
12th Illinois infantry, has been appointed Brig
adier General of negro troops, and ordered to
report to Adj’t Gen. Thomas, at Vicksburg.
His old regiment, the 18th Illinois, are pre
paring to ro-enlist
The rebel Copt Cooper, with an indepen
dent company of npTrards of a hundred men,
hoe been taking possession of the country
between this place and the Tennessee river,
and it was probably bis force that Lieut.
Boberts encountered while carrying dis
patches to Eastport, some ten days ago.
Capt Kirk, who has been making Ills head
quarters about eight miles from Lawrencc
bmg, made a descent upon that place a few
days ago, and burned thirty bales of cotton.
Part of Col. Mizener’s command from Co
lumbia was engaged in hauling cotton from
Lawrcnceburg, but the rebels watched their
chance and burned thirty bales.while the
teams were returning to Columbia.
Brig. Gen. Smith, Coief cf Cavalry on Gen.
Grant’s Staff, is at Columbia, getting horses
for a new cavalrv command. Gen. Roddy,
thonch his headquarters is in Tuscumbla, de
pends entirely on this side of the river for
bUPPlles. He has four flat boats at Brain
bridge, and one at the month of the Blue
v Thcrcbel Gcn.Fomel has been making sun
dry and various demonstrations in the vicini
ty of Jackson, Tenn. He lass & considerable
force, and is able to do much damage. -It is
not unlikely that the cavalry force under Gen.
Crook will be scut against him. CoL Chalm
ers has ensconced himself on the “Halchce
Bottom n from which he issues forth occa
sionally to cut the railroad betwcenjJOorinth
and Memphis. Some time ago he ventured
eo fares to attack Moscow, but the negro
troops at that place taught him a lesson
which it might he well for him to remember,
viz;— “thafKlggcre will fight.”
The success which everywhere attends thc :
experiment of re-enlistment, has occasioned
a rigid enforcement of the Conscription law
in the South, and all between the age of 1C
and CO arc forced to bear arms. The people
of the country are paralyzed with fern* a*rd
dread of the. merciless conscript officers,
whose presence among themes looked upon
with more horror than an epidemic. .

THE ABANDONED COTTON
PLANTATIONS.
What wi|l be Requisite for Keaslng
and Working Tliom.
St., Louis, Doc. 31, 1883.
To the Hon. Henry T. Blow, Washington City;
Mr Dear 8m: The letters sent by you to
Gen. Hawkins making inquiry in regard to
leasing plantations, were enclosed to m*e by
the General with request that I would give
the desired information.
lire Government must first adopt the poli
cy of leasing small farms, say from 50 to 200
or £OO acres to suit the convenience and
means of persons desiring to lease. This
should be done as speedily os possible, and
Sublicly announced, os leases should be made
y the Ist of February, or very soon thereaf
ter, as the land should be plowed and cotton
all planted by the Ist of April.
- Parties proposing to lease these lands
should take with' them everything deemed
necessary, as nothing is to be had in the
country except labor. Say for a farm of 100
acres, live or six good mules will be required,
one good wagon, four plows, hoes and such
other fanning implements os may be necessa
ry.. They should also take with them, or ar
range to have semfrom time to timp, feed foe
mules, sufficient to last six or eight months
until the com and fodder which they would
grow, would be ready for use. Also’some
provisions, good bacou or pork and corn to
make meal and hominy. Also good material
for negro clothing, such as heavy bro
cans, iinscye, Jeans and Osnaburgs,
Under the present system of .leasing the
wages ot a negro is $7 per month,
women $5; the lessee finding them and such
persons as arc immediately dependent upon
them. The ration furnished per week under
the lease system is four pounds ofpork or ba
con, or six pounds offrush or salt beef ten
pounds of corn meal or six fkmnds of liour,
two pounds of beans, peas, rice or hominy,
and one pint of molasses. I hope to sec some
changes in the present system, that is, better
pay lor tho laborer, and that the laborer
should feed and clothe himself and family.
Bands can ho procured, but mostly woman
and young boys, although I doubt' not
that large numbers of able-bodied men will
come iu, so soon as they know that perma
nent arrangements are made for employing
them. Tho wages should be*lncr cased at
least to the former hire of the slave when
cotton was worth but 10 cents per pound”, the
laborer to feed and clothe himsclfi I give
herewith an estimate for the entire expenses
of stocking and working 100 acres ot land,
with product of same. The estimates arc all
liberal, and based on one hand to twelve acres
of land, which Is more than allowed under
present lease system, but less than was al
lowed under slave labor •

This estimate is low for cotton, it is now

quite sufficient to bring the profit up to
$15,0(0.

The residue would not be. required until
the crop was ready to be gathered and scut

above , information will coverall the points
touched upon In the letters submitted to me.
I hope you will urge upon the Government
the adoption of the policy of leasing these
lands, which have been abandoned by their
owners, In’small tracts, to our loyal farmers
of the West and North, whose sons, hy
months of toil and exposure, hare re-opened
them. They are justly entitled to the re
wards of their valor, besides it will settle tbc
country with a loyal and humane people, who’
will afford ample protection to the country
and the commerce of tbc Mississippi.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
James £. Yeatsian.

[From tbe Mobile Advertiser, Nov. 7th, 3SC3.]
Missiokabt Ridge, keab Chattanooga, I
Sunday Night, Oct. 23,1853. f
I have just returned from a ride to the bat
llc-ficld with a party of officers. It is jnst
five weeks to-day since tbc battle, and your
reeders xnay.wisiitoknow bow tbc field looks
now, Tbc aspects of tbc field have greatly
changed. Where it was dry and dusty, now
it is wet and boggy. The changing season
has changed tbc aspect of tbe woods, bat.
these are the slightest changes The plough
ed up earth, the broken 'and captured can
non, the piles of ammunition, the guns and
accoutrements, and clothing, and most of the
dead, have all disappeared. The only memo
rials left to mark thr scene of mortal strife are
the hasty entrenchments of logs and rocks;
the torn, scarred and riven trees, bcar
the marks which a century will noUeflace
here and there kn «psacks and scraps of tom
•clothing, broken and perforated tins, a few
shells and round shot; the graves of our Con
federates, and most revolting of all, the heaps
of yet nnbnried Yankee dead. All of our dead,
except two, were buried. These were over*
looked by our. burying parties or mistaken
for Yankees. One of these, who was killed
on the hill, where Grade’s brigade fonght
late on Sunday evening, was very handsome
ly dressed in fine blue pants and dark grey
cassimerejacket Hcwasa*tall, and appa
rently a young man. His hand seemed a
etnull and handsome one, but'hc was almost a
skeleton, and* his mother would not hove
knownhm. The entire field isyct cumbered
with heaps of dead and unburied Yankees.
In most cases the Ccsh.had fallen from the
bonce, and the mere skeleton remained. The
leg-boncs, from hip’ to foot, held together,
and so of the upper bones of tbe body, but
Ike backbones generally were disjointed from
ibe hips. In some cases the flesh had shrunk
rather than decomposed, and the muscles
of the leg were still distinct In many cases
the skin was still whole and preserved, and
parts ot the body had much flesh on them.
The heads were sometimes only bald skulls,
in others skin yet covered them and u Jew.
hairs remained. Here and there some cruel
mocker had severed the head from the body,
and set the head upon a stump,
whence it “grinned horribly a ghastly
smile.” Some of the Heads contained fine,
beautiful teeth, and my unsentimental com
panion remarked that a dentist could make a
fortune by getting those teeth. Years hence,
children now unborn, in" their sports upon
this field will find a skull, or a bone, of these
poor victims, and wonder and ask what it Is,
And then some grandfather will tell them of
tl.c great battle of ChicUamanga.
Cur own dead tfre buried upon the very
S) cl where they fell. In most cases their
times, company and regiment arc written in
pencil upon a headboard. Thus is shown the
icits of the field where the various rcgl
it cuts fought Heavy details were made to
Ltrv the Yankee dcadj but it was only par
tially done. I suppose our men grew tired of
ibe offcns.vc and seemingly endless task.
1 hear that Hill’s corps alone buried 1,100
1 tnkecs, but vast numbers yet lie imbuned.
The Yankees who were buried were buried in
shallow graves, and their graves are thus dis
tinguished from ours. Those who were
unbmied werb generally past the offensive
siege of decomposition, and we could ride
among and over them, with little or no pain
to our olfactories. But those buried in graves
smelled horribly. Flies swarmed around
these graves, bloated and* fattened upon tbe
foul odors.that reeked from the corpses
through the wet earth that thinly covered
them. It was very sickening. My stomach
was stirred with qualm, ~ and my head grew
dizzy and painful in sympathy with It. My
companion had insisted upon taking a lunch
with ne, but on the field, in the midst of
such scenes, hungry though I was, I could
not have eaten the most delicate morsel from
an epicure’s tabled .
From what I saw to-day, I am convinced
that the Yankee loss in killed- and wounded
was over 20,000. Our own details buried
2,1X0 dead ou the field, and more than 1,000
yet lie nnburied. This includes only those
tbaf were killed outright, and died instantly.
The badly wounded In most cases were taken
off, and manv of these died, ‘ swelling the
dead to 5,000.' The proportion of wounded
to killed was unusually huge, about eight to
one. A large number straggled off and ue-’
sorted. Tbc aggregate loss of the Yankees
In the battle from all causes, must have ex
ceeded 80,000. Ido not believe that our loss
exceeds 14.000, certainly not more than 17,000.

Three Children Frozen to Death,
[From tho Hattooa Independent.] -
A most distressing case of suffering from
the late terrible snow storm occurred at
■Whitley’s Point, Moultrie county, about 7
miles from this place, on Thursday night
last. Three hoys, sons of Mr. W. B. Sen*
dricke, in attempting to return home from
school, about one nule from their father’s
house, were frozen, the two youngest, aged
9 and y. years, to death, and tho oldest, 15
years of age, so badly that we understand ho
has since died. When school was dismlsssd
the. three started for home, but becoming
blinded and benumbed by the intense cold
of the stinging -wind and snow, soon return
ed to the school house, where they remained
until two or three o’clock In the morning,
when they again, attempted to make their
way home. When within sight of the
lights at home, made by tbc Canily
who were up by four o’clock, the two
smallest boys were uo longer able to
walk, and leaned up against a com shock to
keep off the wind whilst the eldest went
home for assistance. When ho reached tbe
house his face was badly frozen, and bis
limbs so thoroughly frozen that ho could
scarcely more. As soon as he could make
known the condition and whereabouts of the
brothers, assistance was .sent tUpnu But,
alas! U was too late. They were both dead
frozen stiff—and that too, in sight of home !
But little uneasiness was felt-by the family
for the safety of the children on Thursday
night, from the fact that they were in the
habit of going home with the neighboring
boys, and it was thought they had done so in
this instance.
Useful Ballast.— Passing along Delaware'
avenue yesterday, where a vessel was unload
ing-. we'found tbatTher ballast was being con
veyed Into a storehouse. The balbist in ques
tion proved to be an article mined in Russia
—literal rock salt The vessel was ballasted
fn Russia, made a voyage to England and
thence to Philadelphia, the ballast remaining
unshifted. The salt sells here for twenty dol
lars per ton. It is mined in blocks that tb
the eye appear to be quartz. It is sufficiently
hard for Wilding purposes; but it is, of
course, soluble, and would yield to the ac
tion of the dements. Farmers buy it for
their cattle. A thirty pound block of it
placed in a box in a field, will supply a herd
of cows for some weeks. It is as hard
stone. Ordinary salt would dissolve
in one-fourth the lime. No other country
yet known yields this peculiar product. It i&
quarried precisely as we quarry marble.-PAtf

In ISM, at tbe date of tbe treaty, tbe lumbering bail

enjoyed a great degree of prosperity, but from that
time, when the markets.or tbe United States were
opened to the free importation of Canadian and other
provincial woods, that prosperity was smitten os
with a frost bile. Many parties employed In that
business were utterly ruined, and for years It did not

ment operating so injuriously upon private Interests,
was ever so uncomplainingly boros.
Of tbe lands pmcnased by this Siateof the Common
wealth of Massachusetts In 1653. and to which it was
Inflocnced among other causes by the prosperity of
our lumbermen at that period, mull the present year,
only the most insignificant nuantltleshavo been sold,
thestocnatlon In the demand forbidding the offering
ofpnhuc lands lor sale.' It Is true that at the present
moment, under the Influence of a dis'arhed currency,
and probably the closing of the lumber ports of tbe
South, our citizens engaged in bringing tbo forests
to market are enjoying a good degree or prosperity;
but wllhlte subsidence of tho cause, which peace
will bxlnr.'must return the former depression.
"What is true of tho lumbermen Is likewise true, to
a large extent, of the scncnltnral Interests of oar
country. Ihcre is uo article produced from our farms
that Is not met inonr own markets by similar articles
from Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Beotia and oth
er British provinces, reaching those markets under
advantages superior to those enjoyed by citizens of
the United States. The schedule of articles made re
ciprocally free by this treaty contains very many
wulch can he produced and ore produce t by our own
citizens equal to any possible demand, or the best
quality,and atthem^itreasonabioprices. The soli
and climate of the United States and of the provlz ces
with which this trade Is established, are precisely sim
ilar, enc thelrproductleoshomogcneocs. The treaty
In termsglresnaanothermarxet, but iu point of tactic
Isas utter delusion. The whole advantage oi the
treaty is with our provincial neighbors. It grants to >
them that ever consuming demand of British com
mercial policy, a market—a market for their surplus
of field and forests, giving us w return access to their
markets, which ear people can never seek, for the
reason that they ire at all times gorged to repletion
by tbe provincials themselves. It Is not necessary In
this connection to enter Into any discussion upon the
merits of free trade or to complain of colonial legis
lation Impairing some of the anticipated ad
vantages of tbe treaty. For us as a
nation tho dream of free .tra£e Is ended. Bag
gaged as wo areln the prosecution of a war upon a
scale of utparalleled maenUude, our financiers and
statesmen areuerplcxed to provide means of supply
ing the national treasury, and sustaining the national
credit. The tax-gatherer is met at every door, bat
there Is not a loyal man to whom he is an unwelcome
visitor, lor loyalty greets it not only as a doty bate
pleasure to contribute of Its substance to the nation's
need In its time of trial. The range of dutiable arti
cles has been so large os to embrace soma coming al
most within the category of the necessaries of life,
consumed alike upon the tables of the neb and poor,
and upon which for a generation the tax-gatherer has
not laid bis Anger.
While our own people are so taxed, and bearing this
all so cheerfully, without a whisper of complaint, be
cause < emanaed by (be necessities of the country, is
it not unjust that citizens of foreign States, who con
tribute not.a penny to tbe support of our government,
should be ndmlited to an equal participation of com
mercial privileges with our own citizens, and to their
strtous injury?
The terms of the treaty providing for Its abrogation
after ten years, clearly indicates that It was regarded
as an experiment. .Asencn It.has been so sufficiently
tested by the people of Maine, that a large majority
deeite neither its continuance not repetition. In oae
yolnt tthssmost signally failed, and that Is tn win
ning for tbe United States the good will of our terrl
tomUccighbors: and the government, In terminating
this treaty, is relieved of all embarrassment on that
tC l C coromend this subject to your consideration, and
that you take such action to the premises ns, upon an
examination of the same,you may behove the Inter
csts of your constituents demand.
Consumption of Airricultarnl Products in

Tbc followlngls an extract from tbo annual Message
of Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts to tbc Legislature
of that Commonwealth:
Foreign-statistical writers differ considerably in
their estimate of tbo cereal consumption of nations.
McCulloch stages tbst theyearly consaumtioa of Eng
land at one “ quarto ” of of wheat, or bushels to
each Inhabitant. France feeding more on bread and
let* on meat. Is estimated ns high as ten bushels. But
Kew England, consuming largely of nab, and other an
imal food, possibly may not exceed sevqp bushels to
each person. At seven bushels each, her 9,133,393 in
baHtanis weald consume 21,917,601 bushels. »--V*

But Massachusetts, with a population 0f1,2f1,036,

Her residue of bresdstnQs, purchased ot the region

or. If she consumed rt tbe rate of eight bushels,—the
compulation of English cocaamption by McCulloch,
her purchase must nave been bushels. More

Isicerttunibe average purchase of New England.*
’the annual consumption of purchased floor by New
England,—at an estimate which Is sustained by tne
computations which I have already made,—ls some
thing near SjMflQO barrels, or more than one barrel
.to each inhabitant. In tbe year 1662, more than bOO,-
CCO barrels of Western and Northern floorwere sold
In Boston for doroesUc consumption, orthree-foorlhs
of a barrel for each person In Masiachuaetta.

I venture to afflim that the conrumptlon ol West
ern agricultural products within the six States of
New England, Including floor, grain and animal food,
used for the support of man ana the forage ot cattle,
sutseand bones,during the year 1663. reached tbe
value of liO/CO/tO, the proportion of which taken by
Massachusetts exceeded 826/00,000.
Besides this, It must be remarked that tbe mills of
New England are manufacturing wool at the rate of
cot less than eighty million pounds annually, pro
ducing iwo-tblma of the woolen fabrics made in the
United States, Perhaps thirty-five million pounds
are imported trom foreign countries.
Tbc remaining forty-five millions or more Is Ameri
can grown, being about two-thirds of tbe whole clip,
(acccrelsg to the last census,) to which New England
afords a marker. Her own clip of wool In 1600, was
less than seven million pounds, out of about forty
nine millions produced In the loyal States. Massa
chusetts. while she raised not more than 1-Uth of the
i lip of New England, or about 1-lCflth of the clip of
tbe loyal Stales, or l-UCth part of all the wool made
into American goods, manufactured onc-thlrd of all
the woolen fabrics made In the Union. Besides all
this, there Is the carpet and coarse blanket wool, now
manufactured In New England to the quantity of
twenty mlllons of pounds.

HOGS—The daily receipt# of live Sega posted ea
’Change this morning amount to 886 head; these, how
ever, refer to the arrivals of yesterday, and the re.
ceipts 10-day at the various yards amount to 5.400
head. With the cootlnoanee of favorable weather
for the shipment of stock, the supply Is becoming
more commensurate with the demand of the market.
One natural remit of which baa been very apparent
In the transactions of to-day, namely, that with re
ceipts somewhat shore the legitimate ship
ping demand of the market, there Is leu
disposition to accede to the artificially
high rates towards which .the market has
been rapidly tending for several days past. In our
reports ef this market for the last two days, we have
noted that at the present prices of Hogs packers were
out of the market, considering the safer eourseto he
not to run the risk of buying Dogs at such prices as
would probably admit of no margin for the expense
of packing, if It did not Involve absolute loss. Deal
ers have become rather excited with the Idea ef get
ting extravagant prices, and although this feeling has
somewhat cooled down 10-day, still many lots were
held at the close of the market with the ides of get
ting higher bids to-morrow. Whether this will be
realized or not, remains to be seen. The
entered sales to-day amount ’5,022 hogs at
prices ranging from' $3.25 'to I&90, and
the bulk of transactions have been at ss.73®&fio.
About oneelxth of thepurchaies have bet n made by
packers, and tbe remaining ones to shippers or spec
tators. Although no decline has taken place on yes
terday’s quotations, there Is less activity and firm
ness In the market. - •
