What a piece of work is man! how noble n reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals:— SIIA K EH EE AIIE. How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the world’s great est mind IIow infinite the scope of man’s power if his faculties are well preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Power. Yet what is this “quint essence of dust” when blasted by disease—his noble functions per verted or destroyed As “all men are born free and equal,” as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should lie born physically, but is long as children must suffer for the sins of their parents this can not be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conced ed question. To restore it is an impossibility, as long as people persist in immorality and indul gences which are in disregard of nature’s laws. The most we can do then is to ameliorate this con dition, and euro disease in indi viduals. To this end we offer to the pub lic, remedies which have done more good—accomplished better results in overthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered npto the present time, viz DR. FLOWER’S LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE, AND NERVE PILLS. The former is an infallible remedy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides &1> invaluable general tonic. The latter is a reliable cure for all “ervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostration, Depression GWsed by overwork, etc. These remedies are extensively Prescribed by physicians, (a recom mendation which does not obtain w'th any other proprietary article,) and command at the hands of the druggists in New England a larger than any other medicine. IN HUNDREDS OF THOU SANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A single complaint that THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. As P°sitive evidence we have thou •mids of testimonials which we *•11 be pleased to show, but which Hmce prevents publishing. The IHal of oue bottle will be sufficient j? satisfy you that we make no !se claims. A valuable pamphlet tion ma^e, Attorney General. Santa Fe. N. M Oct. 21. Hon. Grover Cleveland, Washington Attorney General Garland inlorms me that my suspension is absolute, an 1 I earnestly protest against the summary action, without even a hearing whereby my reputation is ruined forever, and appeal to your sense of manhood and justice for a hearing in order to show that I have been an upright judge. I can reach Washington in four days and re fute any charges against me. Will you not suspend further action until my arrival? Business cannot suffer as there is no court here for ten weeks. Please answer today. Wm. A. Vincent Washieoton, Oct. 21. Hon. Wm. A. Vincent, Santa Fe: The despatch of the attorney general waa approved by me and the same will be adhered to because upon conceded facts we are con vinced that a change is demanded. Grover Clevelahd. Saeta Fe, N. M., Oct. 21. Grover Cleveland, President, Washington: Tha foil facts are not before you. 1 have sent them to the attorney general by mail, today. I am not fighting for office, but for my good name. Please read my statement on its arrival. Wm. A. Vieceet. Did I ask for more than vas fair? Do my despatches read as though I had anything to conceal? Tha mm night I received your telegram I started for this city, and since my arrival have examined all the papers in rela tion to my case at the executive mansion, the office of the attorney-general, and at the department of the interior, including the gen eral law offices. The sole charge against me is that preferred by Mr. Ftshback of Indiana, namely, the appointment of Stephen W. Dor sey as one ot the live commissioners to select jurors for Colfax county, and that charge was made under the impression that he was to select jurors for the U. S. Court. Since its not charged that I am dishonest or incompe tent, you must know that a great wrong and injustice has been done me. You did not and could not know the reasons that induced me to appoint Dorsey. It would have been only fair, and it was due me, to have waited till my explanation was made, as I only asked a delay ot four days before you appointed my successor. Dorsey was appointed commis sioner because a state of constant turmoil existed in the county, and it was difficult to obtain one who had not taken part in some way with one or other of the many factions. He had not been interested in any of the factions, and was peculiarly well-tltted to serve an ex cellent purpose in his capacity of jurv com missioner. He was appointed after consulta tion with and upon advice of other officials of the territory, and the appointment regarded by every one as the beet that could be made. In appointing Dorsey it did not seem t> me that the fact would have any effect upon na tional politics and general policies. Of your administration, this view of the case never entered my mind; the preservation of peace and good order of the community was alone considered. My motives in appointing Dor sey were of the purest and best, and it is cruel to have any other imputed to me. The juries selected were for the county court of Colfax county, the court having no jurisdiction of U. 8. land matters or business, but confined solely to local matters arising under the laws of the territory. Mr. riahback of Indiaimpolia, wUo pro* ferred the charge of appointing Dorsey against me, may be a very reputable man, but is a brother-in-law to a very dangerous and violent incendiary named O. 1*. Mc Mains, who resides in New Mexico, and has been convicted of murder there, although he escaped punishment by a technicality 1 have filed with the attorney general a certified transcript of his trial and conviction together with all the evidence at the trial and trom which you can see that the murder was not only cowardly but cruel in the extreme Dur ing the September term of court 1 decided two cases against McMains at which he was incensed. Doubtless he caused his brother in-law, Kishbai k, to prefer the charge which resulted in my suspension. It 1s not charged that I am dishonest or incompetent to fill the position, but you refuse to hear any explana tion of the appointment of Dorsey, when if you hail been in my place you would have been compelled to act exactly as I did be cause in the frontier country you would have to deal with different material to what you have here in Washington. You action was so summary that the public cannot under stand why it was taken unless it was charges of the grossest immorality or dishonesty, and you must see your course will injure me for all time. Yoy could not have acted with greater severity had 1 been charged with being a corrupt man, and even if I had been so charged fairness would have demanded that 1 should have a hearing before being con demned. You have power to put this stain upon my reputation, but you have no moral or legal right to do so. 1 earnestly request you will cause, through agents of your own choosing, a most searching invesiigatioa into my whole conduct in New Mexico, whether as a citizen nr judg", and should you hereafter be satisfied, as you must when fully informed, that I have been faithful to the sacred trust confided to me and upright in all things, you will do me the justice which you alone can do, and which your high sense of honor and fairness will dictate. Very respectfally, Wm. A. Vincent. POISON PD TPA. W lint Mrs. Prescott Siiid to a Friend Just Helore llnr Death. Groton, Nov. 14. Most of today was spent by the officers in a fruitless search for the wenpon or weapons which were used on Thursday morning when Mrs. Susan Prescott met her violent death. It is said that the murdered woman told a visitor, the first of the week, that but a night or two before, when feeling ill, she asked Mrs. Maker to make her a cup of tea; that, after drinking hut a very little, it caustil her to vomit freely, and, suspectiog that poison had been administered, she took no more, but threw the balance away. From early this morning until nightfall the house of Augus tus Woods, where the body now lies, has been besieged with callers from all points, anxious to Views the remains. The funeral will occur at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Rirnnoxu. Those who attended the anniversary exer cises of Richmond Lodge, No. 5(>, Tuesday evening, consider their time well improved and all agree in saving that the Odd Fellows know how to entertain their friends, and spare no pains to do the same.—Rev.

Morrill was in town last Sunday and spoke in the Methodist church in the afternoon and in the Free Baptist vestry in the evening—The assembly Wednesday evening was a very pleasant affair There were gentlemen pres ent from Augusta and Gardiner.—Mrs. J. Ilathorn left the first of the week fur New York where she wjll remain a few days.— Capt. J. O.

The operation was performed Oct. 29, and reflects much credit upon the doctor. One third of the lip was taken away, still very slight traces of the knife can be seen. Mr. Reynolds appears to suffer no inconvenienca from the operation. Ruel Fields also had a form of cancer removed from his cheek by Dr. Bessey since, who was equally success ful.

gaftg fKnwebw fottmal. Anrnnta, Monday iMoming, lor. 16. STATE OF MAIHE. By the Governor. by the advice and connect of the Executive Conn ell, I appoint THURSDAY, THE 26TH DAY OF NOV. As a Day of Public ThankHglvlnK and Praise. It Is eminently fitting that a fashion so rational, transmitted to ns, as It has been, through successive gene ations as a New England custom, should ever be reverentially continued; for its proper observance Is well calculated to foster in the hearts of the peo ple a realizing sense of entire dependence upon (iod tor all spiritual and temporal blessings. This Autumnal season finds us enjoying the fruits of the labors of the toiling husbanbmsn In an abund ant harvest. Oar State ha* been prospered In all Its material Interests. Our educational an 1 religious efforts during the year have been blessed by bene floent results. Temperance and other moral reforms are still advancing. “The pestilence, that walketh In darkness," has passed us by unharmed. For these and many other National and .State blessings let each heart return a Joyful Thanksgiving, both In the Pub lie Sanctuary, sod around the family fireside, not forgetting to review Its Individual causes for gratl lude; especially let our people re|oloe for ail those successful efforts which have been made in the past to strengthen the unity of the States and the Integ rity of the Republic 1 et the poor and suffering be everywhere remembered, both by sympathy and bountiful material aid from the more favored; "Giv ing thanks always for all things unto God and the Father, in the name|o! our Lord Jesus Christ.'* Given at the Council Chamber of Augusta, this fifth day of November, In the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, and of the Independence of the Cnited Mutes of America the one hundred and tenth. FKEBKKICK ROBIE. By the Governor. OK \MANUAL SMITH, Secretaryof State. Two democratic repeaters at Albany have been sent to the penitentiary, but they will be out in season for the next election. Mr. Ceorgo William Curtis 9ays that the election in New York “demonstrates what we have often slated, that the demo cratic party is not a reform party.” It is a singular and suspicious circum stance that the captain, first mate and sec ond mate of the unfortunate steamship Algoma were all included in the small number of survivors. The Philadelphia Press says: “Salton stall, the new eollector of the port ot Bos ton, is a democrat of the E. J. Phelps variety. Both men wear blue socks and sneer at the common people.” William J. Pollock, ex-collector ot in ternal revenue in Philadelphia, has just closed his account at Washington. In a little over three years he had collected 110,239,546, and on balancing $.596 were found dun him ami paid The evident purpose ol tho democrats in Columbus, to delay, and, if possible, defeat any attempt to bring to punishment the perpetaators of the gross frauds com mitted in that city in the October election, will probably compel the formation of a citizens’ committee for tho purpose. The Discussion Will Continue The question will and must be heard. Shall political equality prevail in tho na tion. or shall it be shamefully stamped to tho earth by violent and reckless partisans of a brutal prejudice is the plain issue which cannot be postponed. One white man's vote in Mississippi and South Caro lina is now equal to the votes of two white citizens of New England and of tho groat West. The vote ot one Confederate sol dier in the Cotton States balances tho votes of two Union soldiers in New York and Pennsylvania. This monstrous injustice cannot bo allowed to continue and the nation live. This wanton violation of tho Constitution of the United States and of the laws has in it the seeds ol the rankest corruption and the poison of secession. In its scope and meaning it has the wickedness and the de structive mischief of civil war. North ern citizens will discuss it. Ix\val men throughout the Union will consider it. Doughfaces may call it waving the bloody-shirt. and Mugwumps may simper and whine, but the pressing, vital, burning question will not down. Political ine quality existed before tho bar. It must not bo allowed to exist in equal propor tions since the war has ended with pre sumed victory of the Union and of politi cal equality in the entire republic. Protective Policy for Our Shipping. [From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.] It is plain that progress has been made toward the creation of a st.ong public senti ment in favor of extending the fostering arm of a protective policy to our ocean-carrying trade. Such protection should have been granted years ago. Had it been done, we should now have a large merchant marine tailing in every sea. In place of that highly desirable state of affairs only twenty per cent, of our carrying trade is done in'.American bottoms. This percentage is gradually de creasing, and if steps are not soon taken the American flag will be forced to relinquish practically all save the coastwise trade. This is no mere theory or speculation. It is the force with which this unwelcome truth is brought home that has set on foot the move ment to arr. at this gr dual crowding on to which American ship own.rs arc subjected. There never was any sense or justice in the action of Congress in excluding the one in terest of ocean carrying from the workings of a national tariff system which is applied to every other interest. Asa country we have paid every attention to internal commerce and none whatever to foreign, until within a slM^Ltune The fact that u verv great projuMl^HIour tra le is land and coaatwiae, call a for the cloaeat leg islative care io that direction, bat it doea not i warrant ancb care to the detriment of onr foreign trade. In ao far aa foreigfc commerce giaea profitable employment to vesada, it ie important ont of all proportion of ita aiae aa compared with inler-State commerce. For foreign commerce given na—or would give under proper encouragement for vessel own era—a large merchant marine, and tbia mer chant marine ia abeoiuteiy eaaentiai to the re aoorcea of any nation, and particularly to one having ao great a aea coaat aa the United Staten. We need not have a great navy, pro viding we have a Urge merchant marine, hot we actually have neither. Waa ever a great nation so abort sighted! When asked to extend the policy of pro tection t« ocean carrying by means of sub sidies, the free-trade doctrinaires have stead fastly replied: “Free abipa or no ships!” And it haa been no ships. At the last session of CongTeas affairs took a mora hopeful turn. Limited lUbility was enact ed, consular abusea were corrected, and in various ways the cobwebs were swept off the antiquated navigation laws. Fol lowing upon this, Congress enacted a law au thorizing and instructing the Postmaster General to distribute #400,000 in the shape of mail pay subsidies, but the desire of the Postmast-r-General to make political capital on ih one hand, and to satisfy free-trade par tisan instincts on the other hand, resulted in his unwarrantable refusal to obey the spirit, if mu the letter, of this long delayed law. This act of intolerant bigotry has done more than anything else to energize the movement now consummated bv the New York Mari time Exchange, which has adopted, with only four dissenting votes,a report urging the adop tion by Congress of what it substantially the French bounty system. The report was pre sented by a gentleman who has been a well known advocate of free ships, but who was no longer willing to cherish his theories with the result of a deadlock. It does not matter so much what are the details of their sugges tion The movement was never in better position to gain headway, and we believe it will make itself felt at the approaching ses sion of Congress. The Jumbo Among Bears Killed. From the Pittsburg Telegram. Late Tuesday afternoon while Antoine Roberts, an employe of Benjamin Weils, of this village, was looking after and oaring for his sheep he discovered tracks of a bear of such huge proportions as to indicate he was an old settler, if his “understanding was com mensurate to his body.” Following in the direction the animal had traveled, Roberts suddenly discovered the object of his search a few feet from him. Bruin was quietly feeding on the tender body of a lamb, the property of Mr. Wells, but beat a hasty re treat when he saw the stranger. Mr. Roberts being armed with nothing but a salt dish, and thinking the method of catching squirrels would not work in this case, abandoned the pursuit. The next morning he was joined by Wallace McFarland, Charles O. Bartlett, and Ashley S. Prime, who followed the bear’s track in a zigzag course over the summit of Mount Kbenezt r and several other mountains, but returned without success. Thursday morning Edgar Lewis, the popular Saranac guide, joined the party, and set out in hot pursuit, at about 4 o’clock. They first struck the track a few rods from Liberty Green’s House, over Hamlin Mountain, and came in sight of “biggest bear in the Adirondack*’’ near Marcornbville. Mr. Lewis opened fire on the animal when some eight rods distant, the ball taking effect in the shoulder. Bruin rose up on his hind feet, and glancing about saw the source from which he hail received his wound. Meanwhile the dogs occupied his attention, hut, notwithstanding, he start ed for the man who shot him, roaring with rage. Mr. Lewis succeeded in firing six suc cessive shots from his Winchester rifle when retreating, all of which took effect. The last shot entered the bear’s head near the right eye, killing him instantly, when only seven or eight feet distant. Mr. Lewis stood lienitied in on all sides so that it would have been extremely difficult to ef fect his escape had not the last shot produced the desired result. The b ar weighed when dressed nearly 500 pounds, and was justly denominated bv the guide and those who have seen him as the “Jumbo among bears.” Hun dreds have already seen the monster, who can vouch for the statement concerning his immense size. The writer is not prepared to state the animat’s age, but old hunters whose veracity ha-* not been questioned—not more than hunters' generally—say he must have been 20 or 25 years old. The Devil Fish of the Hudson Glasco is a quiet hamlet situated on the west bank of the Hud-on river a few miles from Rondout. At the present time the peo ple there are greatlv exercised over the cap ture of a monstrosity. A tew days ago some fishermen in hauling their net into the boat were astonished to see in the meshes of the net something that they had never even dreamed of. They .were afraid to handle it. By the aid of a “bailer” they managed to get the evil-looking thing into a big tub. They then hastily rowed to the shore, and taking the tub and its contents with them went to the hotel of Dabid Ebel, where the strange capture was deposited in an aquarium It was then closely examined and found to be about 18 inches long, with four legs, a head and bqdv resembling that of a sucker, while its mouth had the broad proportions of a cat fish. Two Urge uglv black lumps adorn the upper portion of his head Its feet are like those of a lizard. When placed on the floor it run* around at a lively gait. When in the aquarium it swims at times with an astonish ing swiftness, surpassing that of other fish in the large glass tank. When lying still it in variably bugs close to the small rocks at the bottom of the tank, without the least percep tible sign of life, but when disturbed shoots off like a rocket. The monstrosity has been visited by hundreds of people, the result of which is a big business for Ebel. General McClellan's will provides that all his property shall go to his wife and children. These children are George 15. McClellan. Jr., and Mary M. McClellan. The sword pre sented to General McClellan by the Oitv of Philadelphia becomes the property of Miss McClellan, hut all the swords, uniforms and the like used in the father's campaigns are to go to the son. Much is anticipated of the great Scotch colony which is about to he planted in Flor ida. The first division, composed of 50 fam ilies, will sail from Glasgow on the 2tlth. These immigrants own ihe land to which they are coming, and. in addition, are well sup plied wiih money. Fully a thousand families, in all, will come. The ships John R Kelley and Charles E Moodv, both of Bath. Me were in contact at San Francisco, 4th inst. The John R.

Some two months ago Mr. George Coleman, an Augusta young man, without any premo uition, was atricken suddenly blind, aince •which time he has been totally sightless, ex cept once when he was able to discern a slight glimmer before his eyes. Recently a learned occulist was summoned from Portland who, on examining Mr. Coleman’s eyes was fearful that he would never again recover his eye light. The community deeply sympathize with the young man. The tickets for the great musical festival at Lewiston, December 8th, are now for sale by C. C. Hunt.

Merinos need more coarse fodder in pro portion to grain than the mutton breeds do. Root growth more than top growth is wanted in wheat at this season. If for one year the poultry doesn’t seem to pay well, don’t give up trying further. Itemember that no crop pays well every year. An an animal shivering from cold and wet is a distressing sight. How do you feel when you shiver? Much of such suf fering could be prevented by a little fore thought and fore action. Hoard, plank or stone walks between the house, barn, well and other prominent points about the place, will save a great amount of vexation and work to the women folks in preventing dirt being car ried into the house. Look at such mat ters from their point of view. Potatoes for Seed.—farmers do you ev er think that the eare of the seed in win ter has a good deal to do with the potato crop? Potatoes are not like grain, pro tected by a hard substance that prevents injury from change in temperature or oth er conditions; they are more like the roots of trees, susceptible to severe injury if kept too dry, too hot or too cold while dormant. Too much heat causes sprout ing, and this taxes the vitality of the tuber in a way that will lead to a weak instead of a vigorous plant. If kept too cold, the plants germs in the eyes may be destroyed and no growth follow. To be dried up during the winter is in its way as bad as either of the other defects of keeping named. To simply provide that no such extremes shall be permitted, is the right course. Health in the tuber is the most important of all considerations when its use for seed is had in view. Ice for Farming Use.—The materials necessary for constructing an ice house are of the simplest and cheapest Kind; the putting up can be done by any one that is at all handy with tools. Where a house is con'cmplated the mode or building should be gotten under way in good sea son so that all may be ready when a good crop is available. As to a site, it one that is sheltered from the wind and shaded from the sun, as under trees, or a larger building can be be had. it will be found the best, but anv location may answer. Good drainage is needed to carry the waste from melting off. but there must be no inlet of air through the drain. If pipes are used, they should be trapped for pre venting this. The wall of the ice house may be made of narrow plank two inches thick. These should bo placed at inter vals with their lower ends on sills that are supported on a foundation. On the out side the upright plank may be covered with boards and battened, or with clap boards on the inside with any cheap stuff. The spaces in the wall should be packed with sawdust, tan bark or chaff. A roof of any description that will keep out the rain will answer, but this much it must do. Provision for air front the top must lie made this can be done by a ventilator or hood in the roof, or by small openings in the end at the top. The doors should have double walls with sawdust between. In tilling, start with a layer ot sawdust, or similar material, nine inches deep. On this start the ice, leaving a space clear ot iceone foot wide next to the wait all around. This space must then be packed with saw dust as the filling proceeds. Finish at the top with a heavy coat of like material. Ice weighs 57.5 pounds to the cubic foot. Calling it 50 pounds to the foot as piled, it is easily estimated how large the build ing should be. Some allowance must be made tor wastage one halt would be safe. Orchard and Oarden. Pruning is in order. Put down saurkraut. Revise the orchard register. Cut cions for spring grafting. Fall-planted trees must be staked. A warm fruit room makes insipid fruit. An eleven pound beet was raised in Pennsylvania. Dig horseradish and preserve in sand in the cellar; save the small roots for plant ing next spring. Borers can be kept from young trees tor a time by wrapping some cheap mus lin around them at the collar. This will last several years. Now save up the coal ashes for the land instead of the dumping grounds; they benefit any kind of soil, but especially such as is heavy. Make Some Cuttings.—If you have no grape vines, you can get some that will fruit iu three years trom cuttings put into the ground now. 1-et the cuttings be a foot long, with a bud at each end. Plant firmly in light, well drained soil, and at a depth that will show but the upper bud above the surface, and barely that. Cover over with a light coat of hay, straw or leaves. Most of these cuttings will grow next spring. The same course will answer also for currants and goosberries. Con sidering the ease with which these and ail ot the small fruits are propagated, there is no excuse for any house being unpro vided with an abundance.

Hardly a day, and for that matter a night, passed that the roar of musketry and the boom of cannon did not call the citizens into the street with the mote inquiry in each eye, what next? What increased the appre hension was that General Butler’s negro troops lay immediately in tront of the city, and the worst was feared front them should they succeed in entering the town. This apprehension was without founda tion, as was proved by the good conduct of these colored soldiers, who were the first to enter the city when the army of General Lee retreated. I have been asked how the people of Richmond managed to get food during the closing days, when Confederate currency was so depreciated. Although the blue backs were so much depreciated, if you only had enough of them you could pur chase anything you wished, and the vol ume of notes in circulation was immense. I recollect that a fellow from Jefferson county, who, on some plea or other, was exempt from service, and who was ex ceedingly convivial in his habits, when ever he wished to make purchases or visit the saloons or faro banks, was accustomed to be followed by a stalwart negro bear ing a large valiee crammed to the brim with the Confederate tokens of indebted ness, perhaps a hundred thousand dollars or so, and he never "braced up" until he had got rid of the entire pile, and it didn’t take him long, either, to do so. Contrary to the common belief, there was no lack of provisions or delicacies in Richmond at any time during the war, but the prices measured by alleged dollars were simply stupendous. I do not remem ber that there was any actual suffering among the people, although food ana drink were of course economically dealt with. I recollect also that there wag a bread riot of so large proportions as to call lor the intervention of the military, but the women, black and white, who were the chief participants, were of the lowest class, and were instigated not by want so much as pure deviltry. It is a curious fact what are called the lower classes fared better, as far as provisions were concerned, than the office-holders, or tho wealthier citizens. The salaries of the office-holders, both Confederate and State, were grossly inadequate to provide for their families, and the wealthier citi zens at the outset had invested, almost without exception, all their available means in the 8 per cent bonds of the Con lederate government. Those who owned slaves, by hiring them out, obtained large returns,"for labor was in great demand; but the trouble was that the confederate authorities conscript ed all able-bodied negroes as drivers of mule teams, laborers on the fortifications, etc just as they conscripted able-bodied whites for service in the field,and the hire given to the masters was but a tithe of what could have been procured in open market. Nearly every house, and espec ially of people of limited means, was filled with lodgers, and nearly every other was an eating house. The poorer whites and blacks made money hand over fist by cooking provi sions and selling them from stands on the strees and at the depots to the hugh swarms of hungry people who were con stantly coming and going. The popula tion proper ot Richmond was not a fourth of the vast crowd that daily and nightly congregated within its corporate limits. It was the Mecca of the Confederacy, and the pilgrimages made thereto were con stant in their coming. Officers and sol diers, Jewish merchants, “exempts.” blockade runners, refugees from Mary land and West Virginia, and from coun ties of the State held by the federals, poured in a steady stream into the lap of the city, and the people of the city made their living, and, indeed, it may be said, in many instances waxed fat. in feeding and lodging the hungry horde. Now [haveseen it statedsomewherefthat the Confederate authorities, in order not to starve their officials to death, extended the same privileges to them as it did to its officers in the field, viz.: to draw a ration and buy a ration at the government valua tion. which was not one-tenth the cost of provisions in the market. This is all a mistake. As far as the officials were con cerned. “every tub has to stand on its own bottom.” It a man couldn’t live on the salary of office, there were hundreds of others anxious to take his place, and offer a bonus for the opportunity. In fact, when the fighting got to be fast and fu rious, and the campaigns terrible in their hardships, in the Richmond Examiner John M. Daniel openly charged that the Confederate and State offices had become a matter ot bargain and sale to the sons ot rich men who desired to shirk standing up to be shot at with their compatriots in the field. The printer* and newspaper reporter* and editors were organized in a separate body, and were really an effective lorce for breastwork duty, as many of them were old soldiers who had been incapacitated by wounds tor hard service in the held. Indeed, when the tocsin sounded, the en tire male population of Richmond, official and otherwise, young and old, were out under arms.
