DEATH OF JOHN B1TOUGH.
A brief telegram from Cleveland, pub
lished tn the KsruaLiCAf of last evening,
brought to this community the sorrowful in
telligence of the death of one of our most
earnest and eminent patriots Joh-i Bitot c it,
(lovernor of Ohio.
Mr. Bnotaii was born In Marietta, Ohio,
in 1811, studied law, and became a journalist,
editing the Eagle, a Democratlo pajer, pub
lished In Lancaster, Ohio, In 1830 and 1637,
and In 1840 the llmmrer, then the leading
Democratic paper of Ohio, in Columbus. His
first office was that of Clerk of the Ftate
Senate, In 1818. In 1810 he became State
Auditor, a position in which be greatly dis
tinguished himself. In 184'J he became
President of the Madison and Indianapolis
Railroad, and from that time until his death
he was Identified with the railway system of
the State aa one of its most Influential and
capable managers. But It was not until the
sound of war broke upon the land that Jonv
BBOLaufa greatness and nobleness of charac
ter loomed up prominently before tho whole
American people. From that any In April,
1861, when treason lifted its rod hund
against the nation, he was among those who
were known as War Democrats. And when
the people of Ohio were casting about for
(me who, representing them, should most
completely give expression to their utter de
testation of disloyalty and treason, u exem
plified by tho Copperheads with Clement
Vallavdh.ium, their choice at once, appro
priately and to the Kreat satisfaction of the
whole country, Ml uponduim Ilnouoii. And
the result, In the camm-n, nnd In the two
yean of his administration whkh bar fol
lowed, has far more than vindicated tho
wisdom of the selection In the roll of loval
flovernori. whoao efforts contrihuUi.l .. ...... i.
through the red sea of war and blood, no
namwlll occupy a higher place than that of
Joes Baouon. Jlls death Is a great losn to
bis BUta'Md to the country. His memory

Hon. Houace Marx Ann recently made a
speech at Green llle, Tennessee. In relation
to the question of neirro suffrage, he said,
" everything was premature wo were not in
a condition to settle, or even debate, the
question as to whether the negro was to have
tho right to exercise tbe electlre franchise
This was a matter with which tbe Pedornl
Government had nothing to do, and so far
as the State governments were concerned,
they were not In a condition to determine
the qualification of tbe voter, at least until
their relations to tbe Government of the
United States, as a member of the federal
Union, was recognised.

ceased, are, to all intents, tn tbe Union, and
aro on an equal footing with the other Slates,
with the same duties to perform andtbesamo
powers to exercise, ioucning too now en
grossing question of negro suffrage, he holds
that the President's proceedings and declared
opinions are in accordance with tho rule of
law. The President is believed to approve
of conferring suffrage on the negro, though
fearing that It would Increase rather than
diminish the political power of the former
slaveholders, who were mtlnly responsible for
the rebellion! but opposes this being done
by Congress, suffrage being, unquestionably,

Yesterday, after oar report closed
JOSKTH B, KETSER
was sworn and examlaeA by Major Iloatner.
Witness was a member of the 130th New York
volunteer, and was captured In James City
county, Virginia, October loth, 1S6.1, and was
confined at Richmond, whence he was taken to
Andenonvllle in February, lS04;the stockade
was then only partially completed, aod the prls
oaere were eoiBaed to the north side. There was
no shelter, as the trees had all been cat down,
bat there was a eufleleaey of food, and the water
was good. Witness was one of the first load of
four hundred prisoners who were taken to An
dercouvlllet and, as they were the first arrivals,
there was enough food and water tbe first month,
but as more prisoners arrived the wood became
carte', and the water became dirty, bnt the pris
oner! were owigeu io use , as orj nma do
rotcus of digging wells
The men were healthy when ther first ar
rtiedat AadersonTllle, sad remained so until
May, 1WH, when they bgaa to set slek, and la
June. Jaly and Aarat they died rspldly of
dlarrhcea, dysentery and gangrene. There was
uo vseans of taking care of tbe sick, and t.-e
medical treatment was bad There were but fe t
tents and no bunks, the men being therefore
compelled to lie upon the ground. The prisoner
bad medicines at Drt, bnt as tbe bomber of la
mates Increased the medicines became scarce.
Witness was placed In charge of tbe sick a hoe-
fltal steward, and Dr. White, who was surgeon
q. chief, did not take much Interest In the sick,
bnt left all to the care of his assistants. When
wlinM first srrtred at the prison, the ration was
much larger than It was at a snbsrqneat period,
The corn meal was always Indifferent. Tbe
prisoner cooked their own rat'om until April,
when the coek-bouiM were completed. Occa
sionally a smsll quantity of vegetables would be
distributed to the hospitals, but the supply was
not large.
In Jaly or Angunt, ISO!, an Inspection of the
hospital and prison was made by a confederate
major He said he was horrified at the condition
of the prison, and made an estimate wherein he
concluded that tbe average lssgth of life there
would be about three hundred and eighty-five
days. Witness has seen Wits often, and has
beard him order the guard to shoot any one who
should pass over the dead line Witness ha
seen men who bad been shot, aod afterwards saw
the sentlael who bad shot them. In April or May
the prisoners received their express boxes from
home, and some of the men threw mouldy bread
and cakes under and outside the dead line. Some
who had not received bones reached under the
dead line to secure that which had been thrown
away, aud one was shot in tbe bead, the body
falling half across the dead line. Witness has
seen Win and Turner go around tbe prison with
dogs searching for the trail of an escaped pris
oner Never saw a man eonflned In the stocks,
but knew they were there
In August, 1MH, saw iwcive men rogemer in
tbe chsln-gaug, Tbey were connected with each
other by chains fastened to their feet, and each
had an iron collar around his neck, with a chain
extending from tbe neck to the feet Two men
were la the.chala-gsng six weeks forattemptlog
to escape, fever knew a ma a to die lu the chain
gang: but one mi a died In tbe guard bouse with
a ball and chain on him Asa general tblug
Wlrs was overbearing and abusive to the men
Wit u ess bas seen men backed by Win's orders
Witness saw Gen Winder at the hospital, and
beard him give orders at tbe hospital It was
undented that he commanded the pot On one
occasion the prisoners ran to the gtte to see
Winder, and be ordered tbe guard to shoot any
one who came within fifteen feet of the gate

Wlrs ordered one man who had escaped and was

The man had no altercation with Wlrs. The

A Xaihvlllo letter of the 23d Instant to

In some portions of Kast Tonnessee the
rebels are finding "Jordan a hard road to

time, fin ! tn caio oi lallure to comply, arc,

and become the ministers of vengoanco for
the w rones which they have suffered, but
those who are subjects of that vengeance
have little cause to complain. They are but
reaping tbe harvest oi aragons' leein wmen
they have sown.
The couduct. too. of mnny of the rebels Is
well calculated to provoke tho treatment
which they are receiving;. Instead of a man
ly submission and cheerful acquiescence In
the supremacy of tho laws, there Is In too
many instances too rlain an Indication of
smotberea hostility ana ungracious submis
sion. They have not yet learned to forego
tbeir arrogant assumption of superiority over
too union men, nor laid asiao tneir insinua
tions of the want of manliness nnd honor on
the part of tho? who have adhered to the
national cause. Perhnps the dlsclpllno they
aro just now undergoing may do necessa
ry to fit them for the duties of quiet citizens
They have so long arrogated to themselves
the right to sot tho lnw ut defiance, that It
may be necessary that they should, to some
extent, be denied Its protection They may :
thus learn something of Its value and be
taught to appreciate its blessings,
An Important movement, the details of
which are as yet contraband, will soon dissl
pute the delusion under which so many rebels
aro laboring, that a military parole gives
them Immunity for crimes heretofore commit
ted against the civil laws. A great many
have seemed to suppose that by surrendering
themselves and being paroled they met tho
demands of tho law in regard to the long array
of offences which stood charged against them,
Kvcnts now promise that they will speedily
be undeceived A timely change of locality
is the only thing which can savo them from
the punishment due to their transgrosslons.

visible every evenlngnow after dusk, is about
as brilliant as It ever Is. This phenomenon
Is supposed to be caused by the rays of the
sun shining through a ring similar to that
which encircles the planet Saturn, and which
is said to encircle the earth. It shines up
from the track of tho setting sun In tho form
of a pyramid; and Is best seen or is more
plainly visible when this ring is directly be
tween the sun and the earth. It may ho
seen In tho early morning aa distinctly as at
night Meut Perry, In his Japan expedi
tion, took out an astronomer, (whose name
does not occur to us at this moment,) who
mentions that In those seas, about midnight,
when the skies were perfectly clear, this
light was so plain and distinct, that he has
seen the points of each, that from tho rising,
as well as that of the setting sun, almost
meet at the senlth It has been held by
xoruo that the wet and rainy seasons, which
we foin times have, are caused by the ring
alwne mentioned oomlng between the sun
and the earth The brightness of the ZodU
no ii I light at this time may Indtoate that this
Is the cause now, nnd If so, that may account
for the quantity of rain which has fallen this
season IttcAmowt TitMt, Aug 31

proper business connected with his trial. I do
not know who bas charge ef him. He thought
there was no necessity for keeping on the hand
cuffs. He therefore made thesaggestlon that the
prisoner ahonld have every faellliy to write and

quently the haadealTs were pat on him la the

charged ae this one Is. and certainly inch treat
meat was not new to the accused.
Col. C. thought the Conrt could not dictate as
to tbe treatment of the prisoner after he was
taken from the courtroom. Col. C, said he was
not disposed to show any cruel or unkind treat
ment toward the prisoner, and It was onlyamat
ter of precaution and prudence that the hand
cuffs were put on the prisoner to prevent him
from dolsg violence to himself. He was very
eorry to learn that the handcuffs had Injured the
prisoner last night.

Witness received a communication from (lea.
Winder, la which he stated that as Captain Wlrs
was an old prison officer, and capable of com
manding the prison, he had therefore given him
command of the prisoners Wlrs after that was
In charge of the prisoners. The prisoner took
command of the prison aud prison guards after

tions witness had were to furnish, troops to guard
the prison,. The troops warn detailed and turned
over to Captain Win. Witness was relieved In

laid out the prima was uude for 10,000
prisoners There were fifteen or twenty uegroes
at work there. Wltuess knew Oen. Winder
He was lu oommaud of all the prisons, and had

Witness had much did cutty n getting trans

train he would have It loaded with lumber and
sent to the prison for the purpose of erecting
shelter faatbe prisoners. Wbeu witness wan

The Commission overruled the objection.
Witness drew a bill for aa Injunction to com
pel the rebel authorities to abate a nuisance by
abandoning the prison Witness drew the blfl

who appointed a day to near the argnueni of the

Cobb replied aud said that the witness should
not prepaie a bill from his Government Wit
ness thought he woald be court-martialed, and
retired from the ease.
CrosB.examinedj Witness knew of the prison
using maaeone inira larger, witness inougnt,
after the prUon was enlarged. It would accom
modate about tea thousand prisoners. Witness
bad It ealanred without anr orders at all.
Captain Wlrs had no authority to enlarge the
prison. He never tried to prevent lumber being
uned, soisr as witness knew. Witness did not
deem it proper to interfere wtttt tbe internal ar
ranirements of the orison. Kever saw anv or
ders forbidding acts of kindness. It was a good
Idea to locate the prison la tbe woods. The
prison was located Iu a poor section of the conn

In answer to Questions br the Court, witness
stated tbat Oeneral Winder had tbe command of

msnd of tbe troops he had about three hundred

under his command. Witness addressed bis
cjiubjudI cations direct to Oeneral Wluder lie
was tbe high authority, Never went beyond
him. Had communications with General Cobb
and Oeneral Mercer about tbe prison. Witness
does not know who originated the dead line. It
was done some time after Wlrs came there. It
must have been the work of the commanding
officer of the prison. Witness oarer saw a dead
line uerore.
By Sir. Baker. Tbe dead line was made of a
piece oi scanning, iwore too dead line wai es
iabtished the prisoners came very near tearing

Witness bad seen prisoners shot during every
month of his Imprisonment. Manr of the pris
oners were oeerly naked. They were demoral
ised. Those who were naked seemed to liavo no
shame. There were desperadoes In the camp who
would assault the other prisoners and take their
rations. At the time of witness arrival he was
told that six desperadoes had been hung the day
before; arrested by our men, and tried by those
who wanted peace and goed order. If tiie con
federate authority had maintained proper order
and authority there would have been no cause to
arrest these men.
If the desperadoes had been arrested by tho
rebel authorities and punished, the men would
have no occasion to punish them. Iu regard to
punishing guilty offenders, Capt, Wlrs was not
strict, uo one occasion a man Informed about

was comralttod, to bo tried by civil tribunal,
nnd calling bis attention to the fact that civil
law has been organised In that country,Gen.
Ruger replies that It appeared to hip fnex
pedicnt to comply with the request, for tho
reasons, among others, that It lit the duty of
the military to preserve order j that, though
magistrates have been appointed, they do not
take official notice of unlawful violence1 to
ward freedmen, although such acts have been
by no means nnfrequent in the different sec
tions of tho State.
He also says tbat of late several eases of
homicide of freedmen by whites have been
brought to his knowledge, but in no case, so
far as be had learned, was any arrest mado
by tho magistrates or civil officers, and no
attempt had for Investigation. And from
his own observation and Information, these
nets are becoming more frequent. He, there
