to remove all prejudices, and to enlight

carried with him the sympathetic aspha

liberty.
He returns a victor in tin best and

A of the Times.
The election of B ’Gratz Brown to the

of Missouri, is a fact the sign'Seance of
which is not hlo-ir to be overestimated.

The Fate of Slavery.
Secretary Seward, in a recent speech
nt Auburn—the first he has made since
the war beg in, thus speaks of the cfßd
of the war on slavery:
The abetiArs of the rebellion are
troubled for fenr we shall not leave th?
rebels, when ih y i avc si«b::iitteJ.en<»ngh
of slavery and staves. They want to
know wii»t we propose a’lout iti.nt. My
answer i’, that if they hnd submitted to
Abraham Lincoln in the beginning they
would have retained th»i whole. They
have lost by resistance, on an average,
ten thousand slaves a month. Each
month of prolong.sl resistance increases
the loss, an I they nra verging upon the
the time when t>n*nmission, coming too
| Into, will k-ave neither slavery nor slaves
in the hnd. This question of slavery is
their business not none. So long as they
propose no surrender, they are entitled to
ask no terms. Wimt has happened to
slavery thus far, has been the legitimate
i fruit of their own crimes; but it was
fruit ordained not by man, cut by God.
Without seeking to divine his was, I
lh’'nk thnt the future will be like u >to the
past. The iusui ruction will perish un
der military power, necessarily and
therefore lawfully exercised, and slavery
will perish with it.
The Racine Journal says “the demo
cratic party in its purity, is the best po
littcal party in the woild.” Thnt is no
• doubt true, but having lost it’ purity, it
is now a very vile and corrupt orgnriza
tion. A virtuous wvmau challenges the
adm’ra ion nnd Ivve of man, but a drab
' doesn’t.

THE STARVED PRISCXETS AT

Death from Stmvatio:!.
A Baltimore corre*pcnb’nt of the

brought ft-an R'c’unonJ. I:is story is

the robe'*: "
.On nriiving at tli rt hr.s;7tni at Annnp
olis. we foimd t';ic Matruii icst starling
on tour of inspection, nnd site kindly
allowed my friend r.“ I mvs'Mf to aenm
r r.ny her. Wishing tn prepare us for
what wo wety t > see,she gave us an ac
count of the arrival of the prisoners bv
boat, on the 2Gth n't. The men landed
nt SA. St. in the cliil'v dawn, and it
seemed a lilting time f<>r so mournful a
procession. They numbered ISO men
brought from Belle Island, near Rich
mond. Many were unable to walk, and
were carried io lhe hospital. Those that
could walk must have presented n sight
never to he forgotten; for. I.efotc lesving,
the rvbeis not only stripped them of
socks, shoes an 1 blankets, l-nt took from
them their shirt* and pn'dlo n*. except
where the rag?could scareekqhold togeth
er. Men came in without lists or caps,
with thin colt' n drawer*, and bodies bare
in ihe wiiisl — li'ci.’ n: kedne s and b!e«al
ing feet ci-vrted I'ii'v .viih what tatters
theii cruel captors ha I kft than:, not front
merer, but L-ecau.se th<”.' were too ii thy
to keep. These men had been on Belle
Island (-vlii-di seems to i>< n barren
svnsi«-) without anv protection against
ti.e v-entlicr, rscepLwhnt th<»y had tbem
'dves construct*'!. They led 'r.m on
the sand which was to them as bed and
cover exposed both sick an! well, to all
«xtremes of !r’>.t and cnid, without
cl'di'S, wi’’..,iit food, (except smaii por
tions of the most repulsive kii.ds) for
weeks at d months, t any having been
t:ik“»i prisoners rt er before the battle el
Gettysburg. Many am sutrering from
from what are called sand s >res, and the
surgeons in v:dn attemptirg to produce
general circulation of blood, ih-> ent-ief?
in many Instances seemiuij'j dried on tbe

With this preparation wo v’s'tel the

el r.wav in our horror, only to !• »k up
on another who won' ’ soon follow his

and in the hospital*, stood perfictly sub
dued nnd heart wrunj, in witnes-iog that
most tern ft.l of nil dentlis— Jettlh from

In another room was a poor young
h-.y, equally squalid in nppcnrnrce a net
work cf bones, perfectly crnze.l, nnd
tossing i.i< arms nlmit nnd talking wild
ly and indistinctly: he.too, con’d lire but
a few hour#, and most pr .bably never le
sano again. The next patient was a re
spectable looking middle ng 'd German,
with the bedclothes drawn tight'v <’V r
his head, moaning and writhing in his
agony. My friend legged nv to listen
[ con'd only distinguish these words: “I
am so tired., something to ent, what tor
motif,” and tli<»n tlio cjncuh.t'oii, “O.i,
Chr..-ill" Then wo saw others,
emaciated to the Inst degree, several of
whom wore trying to cat —their kind
utirsf s teini.ting them with delicacies and
such food as they c«;tiid bear. Some,
after tskuiy the longed-for nrticlo nnd
putting it to their lips, w«>ti!d turn away
with an agonized loathing expiession, ns
if eager to swallow, but incapable of tho
eil’iit. Others, after eating with famish
ed baste, would, after n few moment*,
eject it nil, their stomachs being too much
weakened to bear nourishment either
solid or liquid. Could anything bo more
fearful tLan this living death; this fam
ishing, with food before their eyes and
within their reach. There were other
patients who were better, they cotifd di
gest f >od m 1 bad some ho. eof life. It
•• ns then tho sixth day «inee they came,
and out of ISO men 53 had died of ill
ircntmoii. and actnrl starvation. The
Surgeon, said nt least two thir ls of the
180 wotil l die, and if any recovered it
would be with broken constitutions, ut
•ei iy incapable of supporting themselves.
Many had died on first arriving, uncon
scious , from their sufferings, that they
were among friends and in the land thev
had died for. Others were too far gone

' This we do l»y frequent .-xped tiona into
the eonntrv ercli side of the river. We
have built brrracks for winter use.

We occasionally have a little fun with
| the old planters, who hnvo be, u in the
’mbit of treating their laborers with much
more severity t!im tlm* would their
•n’iks, as they <l:4 not Par the mules,
while the everlasting n:qg'*r might get
too high nations; consequently many be
lio’.o.i th -y should bent them r.t least
once a week to keep them go.»l nigger*.
A case occurred here a few days since; n
Dr. Wool, a man tn.ich the form of D in
bur’s clock tnnn —wall, far sfomac/i, a
gol d match fur J«d.n Dale, with a decid
ed pompous style, accustomed to com
maud with iron rule, appeared at the
Provost M irslrli’s otll -e with acomp'aint
of ituubordinal'on ngainst his chamber
maid.
0 ) investigation it wns proven that the
girl hnd made his bed, nnd the wife
caused it to bo t:.a 11 over. It stii I was
unsatisfactory, and the g : r; received or
ders to re-do her woik. She protested
she could do it no diff-rent, when the Dr
knoek-xl her down with his cam, and
b’at her, catting her heal severely, and
de-isted only w'isn the esno was broken.
She, being contaminated with the no
riots which tho Lin k* in have
received from the s>l liers, fled, and the
cas.’came before tho Provost Marshall.—
The Dr. claimed the vid; the girl claim
ed protection. Auer a heming. th* Pro
vost ordered the Dr. 10 accompany a
guard, to whom a commitment to jail
wns given. 13 ;th started, but ns on leav
ing the court-house the guard led the
way toward the jail, Mr. gold-headed
cane man halted, and asked where they
were going. The guard t>! i him io fol
low and he would learn, whereupon the
Dr. refused, but being told be could Jake
his chnicti, follow, or be followed by a
bav-oet, he concluded to make a philoso
pher of himself nnd submit to bis neces
sity. As the boys say, ho was left pay
ing checkers with bis nose in the grates
of the jail window. The supposition is
a f-w games will teach Lim thnt some
folks have rights and feelings as well as
others.
Hoping that the Union men will not
only carry Witconsin, but carry it by a
ciushing majority,
1 am respectfully yours,

Rewards for Bringing in Rcf.ruits.
-“The public should clearly un-deestand
that the premiums of *25 for a veteran
recruit and SIS for a recruit who is not
a veteran and S3O for deserters, will be
paid to any person, but a commissioned
officer. The premiums are not paid to a
recruit oficring himself. The o der, ns .t
originally came from the War Depart
ment limited the payment of rewards to
special cflleo s, but tliroujli t!iO effort* of
our very able Provost Marshal Gei.ernl,
