THE SUFFERINGS OF CONFEDERATE PKI5-
OJYBKS AFTER THE BATTLE OF
■ * GETTYSBURG.
Tiro l/verpool (Eng.) Albion, in an appeal
ii» tUc charitable of that city to conti ib
money to the relief of the field, at Gettys
burg, publishes several letters from the field :
A lady from the vicinity of Gettysburg
writes; “July 18tli—We have been visit
ing the battle field, and have done all we
cau lor the wounded there. Since tlicu we
have sent another party, who came upon a
camp of wounded Confederates in a w r ood
between the hills. Through this wood quite
a large creek runs. This camp contained
between two hundred and three hundred
men, in every stage of suffering; two well
men among .them ns .nurses. -Most of them
•h ul frightful wounds. A lew eveningi ago
riio raiu, sudden and violent, swelled the
creek, and thirty-five died of starvation.
No one had been to visit them siuee they
wore carried off the battle field; they had
no food of any kind ;' they were crying all
the time * bread,.bread! water, water! ’ One*
boy without beard was stretched out dead,
quite naked, a piece of blanket thrown over
his emaciated form, a rag oyer his face, and
his small, teia hands Aald-oyer bi» breast.
Of tho .dead, none knew their names, and it
breaks ray heart to think of the mothers
waiting and watching for the sons laid in
Che lonely grave on that fearful battle field.
All of those men in'thc wood were nearly
naked, and when ladies approached they
tried. to cover themselves with the filthy
rags they had cast ttside. The wounds
themselves, unwashed and untouched; were
full of worms. God only knows what they
suffered.
“ Not one word of complaint .passed their
lips, not a murmur; their only words were
“ Bread, bread! water, water!’’ Except
when they saw some of oar ladies much af
fected, they said, “ Oh, ladies, don’t Cry; we
are used to this.” We are doing all wo can,
we served {id day yesterday, though it was
Sunday” This lady adcs: “There were
two brothers—one a colonel, tho other a
captain—lying side by side, both wounded*
They had a Bible between them.” Another
letter from' Philadelphia says: “ There are
.over 8,000 on the island, (Port Delaware,)
the hospitals crowded, and between'300 and
40J men on tho bare floor of the barracks;
not even a straw mattress under them. The
.Surgeon says the hundred pillows and oth
er tnings sent from here was a God-send.—
Everything except gray clothing will be
thankfully received, and can be fully dispos
al of. It is Very difficult to get money here.
I write to you in the hopo that you may be
able to send some comforts for these suller-
in<r men. Some two or three thousand have
been sent to an island in the East river, most
of them South Carolinians, aud all in great
destitution. Your hearts would ache as
mine does if you knew all I hear and know
is true of tho sufferings of our poor people.”
Auuther writes: Philadelphia, July “0,
1SG3-—I mentioned in my last the large num
ber of Southern prisoners how in the hands
of the Federal Government in Fort Dela
ware, near-tliis city. There arc 8,000, a large
portion of whom are sick and wounded; and
are suffering most seriously for the want of-
a thousand things. . Those in the city who
are by birth or association connected with
Southern people, and who feel a sympathy
for tho suffering of these prisoners, are but
lew in number, and upon these have been
increasing calls for aid. Their powers of,
contribution arc now exhausted.- I- thought
it my duty to acquaint yon aud others in Eu
rope of this shite of things, that you might
raise something to relieve the sufferings of
these prisoners. I believe the governments
lias decided that any contributions for them
may be delivered to them. There is Scarcely
a man among them, officers or privates, who
has any money or any clothes beyond tho^e
in which they stood when they were cap
tured on the battle-field. You can, tliere-
fore, imagine their situation. In the hospi
tals the government gives them nothing be
yond medicines and soldier’s rations. Sick
ituu require much more,or they perish; aud
these people are dying by scores. I think it
a matter in which their friends on the other
side should take prompt aud ample action.
SSf We have received via Nassau, N. P.,
files ot the London Index, for the month of
August, from which we propose to make
quotations of such items as inay be iuteresl-
Ing to our readers: . ’
[From the London Index Sept. 17.]
Last week the Consul General of the Uni
ted States at Prauktort hoisted the Mexican
Hag side by side with the Federal llag. It
appears that many months ago M. Jaurez,
foreseeing his approaching downfall, asked,
the cabinet at Washington to allow- Mexico
to l>; represented abroad by Ihe agents of
the United States, if the authority of the
Mexican Government should be temporarily
pact. An immediate assent was given to
u •
ERROR CEASES TO BE DANGEROUS WEEN Hi ASON !S LBP1 kES TO COMBAT IT. W —
YOL. IX.
ATLANTA, GEO., OCTOBER II. 1863.
NO. 280
this proposition, and Mr. Seward, as long
ago as last March, instructed the agents of
his Government to represent the Mexican
republic in foreign countries, if Mexico
should fall into the hands of “foreigners.”
It was also stated in that dispatch that the
United States would underno circumstances
tolerate in Mexico any other than a republi
can form of government.
It wilt be noticed that the lime selected
for hoisting the Mexican flag was when the
sovereigns of Germany were assembled in
Franktort, at the instance of the Emperor
of Austria, whose near relative is to occupy
the Mexican throne. The chief object of
the proceedings was to offer a flagrant insult
to the French natioD. A logical rejoinder
to this recognition of the defunct' republic
of Mexico by the United Stated* would lie
lor the Emperor Napoleon to recognize tlie
existing republic of the United Stales.
THE COMING WINTER.
It no secret to any man, woman or child
in this city, that the sorest pinch ot the war
will he upon us next winter. Already the
enormous prices paid for house rent, lud,
food, clothing, aud, indeed, for every neces
sary of life, give unmistakable warning of
what is to come at no distant day. But it is
doubt ul whether our citizens are fully alive
to the crisis ahead, and whether they have
asked themselves those serious questions
which must shortly be answered. Ilaye
they considered how little they can live on
and how much they can dispense with ?—
Have they set down in dollars and cents the
probable cost—for no man can tell where
prices will stop—of‘feeding each and every
mouth in the lamily, whether that mouth be
a man’s, a woman’s, a child’s, a servant’s a
horses’, a dog’s, pr even a cat’s ? Have the
people generally asked themselves whethei
if is absolutely necessary for all of them to
live in the city, and have they considered
what an immense saving to themselves and
relief to those who are compelled to remain
it would be if all who possibly can would
leave at the earliest moment?
These matters have been much canvassed,
but liardiy with that intense earnestness
which the times demand. Perhaps ail that
is wanting to produce this earnestness is a
little pressure from without in the shape of
a few facts which aro not generally known,
or, if known, not sufficiently considered.—
For obvious reasons, we will hot comedown
to actual figures; but we have it in our
power to state, lliat the condition of things
at the present moment Jis such as to render
the question of subsistence one of the grav
est with which the authorities have to deal.
Could all the fucts and figures be placed be
fore the public, there is not a doubt, that the
duty of retrenchment would become ihe rul
ing idea of the whole community. W fiat -is
needed now and at once is the reduction of
every superfluous expenditure of this kind
that can be made. All who can leave the
city ought to do so witheut delay, and pro
test ought to he made in some authoritative
form against a further concentration here of
people from ah parts of the Confederacy. It
is not strange that a place so expensive as
Richmond should lie thronged; for all feel
sale who have Lee’s army in front ot them;
but there is a limit to the capacily of the
city.
But the reform must not stop here. Those
who have no # chdice but to remain m town
mdst make up their minds to live with the
strictest economy. The more food con
sented here, the less for the army* All
moulds must be stopped that ciu be.
Horses must be given up to a large extent,
for they are imperatively needed at a point
where they will be of infinitely more service
to the cause aud . the conntry than here.
Gay .young o&cers must be content to forego
their evening rides,with pretty young ladies.
The city will gladly dispense with this pretty
exhibition. * Hacks mn st not whirl Cyprians
about the street and cover honest pedes
trians with dust. People must learn to walk
from the depots. Eumiture wagons and
drays must, to a certain extent, be dispensed -
with. Plcasme and show liorScs must be
put to better use. In fact, all unnecessary-
consumption of food for man or beast must
be promptly abandoned.
The question is of so important a charac
ter that the city authorities should look into
it without delay. Whether under the mu
nicipal charier they have tho power to en
force the necessary retrenchment, we do not
know; but if they have not, the Legislature
now in session can supply the deficiency.—
And every good citizen wiiyml with satis
faction a law that will give rWfef to the city,
add grGatly to the comfort ofthe army, and
ensure tlie success of the cause.—Richmond

A Hold Speech in Ohio.—The spirit of
the Ohio Democracy is exemplified by the
following conclusion of a speech made by
Hon. Geo. E. Pugh, the Democratic candi
date for Lieur. .Gov. of Ohio, at St. Mary’s
on the 15ih of Aug.: • '
But what was Mr. Vallandigham seized
for ? ‘ He was seized in the dead hour of
night bp lorceof arms, by fraud—by shame
less, cowardly fraud—was wrested from his
family aucf driven for refuge for his lifc and
liberty uuder the flag of a foreign nation.—
But\Yeintond to bring Mr. V. back. We
asked Mr. Lincoln to give him back as a
private citizen j if he had done so, I would
not have accepted your nomination for Lt.
Governor
I do hot want the office, or any other; but
when he refused, I determined, come what
might, tome and mine—of property,person
al, risk, or anything else—I would cali upon
the people to bring him back as Governor
ot the State. [Wc will biing him back.] I
kuuw you will bring him back. I know
yot\ will elect him; and, as to iho rest, I will
see to it that he is inaugurated. [Cheers.]
If necessary, we will take a hand. If David
Toodd, counteqiart of Lincoln for President
—mountebanks both—if David Todd can
callout every able-bodied man in thirty-
two counties, with tin cups *.nd blankets,
and on foot, to chase John Morgan on horse
back, with nothing to arm and feed them—
if lie can do that, 1 don’t think I would have
any difficulty in calling out 50,000 or 100,-
0C0 stalwart, able-bodied men, fully armed
and equipped, freemen of Ohio, to receive
their Governor elect at the Canada line,and
es<g>rt him to the 8fftte House, and sec that
he takes the oatkofojSce. [Greatcheering.]
Aud I would not be like Todd, issaing two
proclamations a day, about it I would is
sue one praclamaiion, and then I would go
myself.

AFFAIRS OH THE MISSISSIPPI-
POUT HUDSON, NATCHEZ/ BATON HOUCK,
VICKSBURG AND HELENA. ;
1 The correspondent of the St. Louis “Re
publican” thus sums up the condition of af
fairs at these places: • , . - [
Port Hudson is almost abandoned so far'
as Federal soldiers are concerned. The ne
cessities of Gen. Banks’ expedition have Re
quired most of the men at that place, amhas
it was of no special advantage to the Gov
ernment to hold that point, it has been par
tially evacuated. The number now there
will not exceed one thousand.
At Natchez affairs seem to remain tbc
same as oa the day Gen. Ransom took pos
session. They live under the Federal rule
as quietly as if the best specimen of a Rebel
general was given them orders to obey.
Business is dull, but not any more so than
would be expected. The wants of the peo
ple are few and easily supplied, and so long
as the people from the adjoining country
arc not allowed to come to trade, will bus-
mess be as it is now. It was stated a few
days since in New Orleans that the Secrcla
ry of the Treasury had opened trade in this
town. As soon as the report got cuirence,
the people began to show signs of opening
their stores, in anticipation ot a brisk busi
ness, but the next steamer lrom New Or
leans contradicted the statement and the
old condition of thiogs was immediately re
sumed.
There arc about the same number ofFedtral
troops at Baton Rouge as at any time since
the occupation of that place by the army of
the Union. This seems to be strange to
those in command. The general command
ing that post has repeatedly asked to be put
in the field, but Baton Rouge is at present
his fixed spot.
V.cksburg, in a military and commercial
point of view/is completely dead. There
does not seem to be enough people—I mean
the residents—to keep them from .the grave
one week. Soldiers and citizens walk about
the rough streets as if they did not wish to
arrive at their point of destination. The
people are demoralized and lazy. -
The health of the soldiers is pretty good,
at. least better than it was some days since.
Depopulating the city of-troops, or rather
only having enough to do garrison duty,
has had a salutary effect on the health of the
town. Gen. Sherman’s corps still occupies
its old position, out near the B : g Black river.
The men and officers composing it, manifest
signs of uneasiness and discontent. They
are anxious to be on the move.
The country and camp begin to produce
a desire to go somewhere—they are not par
ticular where, so that they are moved. The
furloughed soldiers who have.returned,seem
to be joyous and happy. They all‘say they
are determined to stay in the army till the
rebellion is crushed, and as much longer‘as
the government requires their services.
Helena is fast assumiug a military posi
tion, which makes the people want, to hear
from there as. often'as possible. Soma very
anxious people in Memphis-have suggested
tho propriety of establishing a dally line of
packets Between the two places. ‘
A Letter from Cap r. Maffitt. - Cept.
Maffitt, of the Florida, at Brest, writes a let-
terto La Patrie, (Paris) explaining the posi
tion of his ship according to. international
law. Ho says :
Brest, Sept. 12,1S03.
Sir: Yolu*number of the 10th inst M con
tains two errors, which I beg permission*!©
rectify. It states: “Two incidents have j ust
taken place in France and England which
interest the American question. The first, is
the seizure, at Brest, by a French ship o wn
er, of the Confederate privateer Florida, who
claims from her an indemnity of 100,000
francs for the losa of a vessel belonging to
him, and which was sunk by the said priva
teer.” On this first point I have the honor
to assure you that, in. spite of the tbreals of
certain persons who pretenu to have claims
against the covetle Florida, she has cot been
yet seized.
I protest in the most formal and e.-iergetip
manner against the second allegation ; the
FloHda has never had any reason for sink
ing a French vessel; that assertion is false,
and I refer pou on that point to the letter
published by M. Picquet un Belief, in the
Ocean, of Brest, which contains a faithful
relation of the incidents of-the encounter
which took took place between the Florida
and the French vessel, the Bremontier. As.
to the .qualification of privateer v, hjch you
give to the coyerctte 1 have the honor to
command, it arises, no doubt, from the fact
of your having been ill-inlormed as to the
armament of the Florida. A privateer, ac
cording to. the definition given by Noel -and
Chapsal, is “a vessel armed by private indi
viduals with the authorization of the Gov
ernment. - ’ That definition has been, I be-'
lieve, adopted by all writers who have treat
ed on international law, but it accords but
little with the real situation of the Florida.
That covetle has, in fact, been built and J
armed by the Government of the Confeder
ate States ol America, and her officers
hold their commissions from that Govern
ment.
She carries the national flag and.lhe pen
nant carried by vessels ot war, and receives
her instructions directly from ihe Minister
of Marine of the Confederate States. The
European powers having recognized the'
possession by the government ot Richmond
of the rights of belligerents, among \vh-ch
are those of forming armies and filling cut
vessels of war, I am at a loss to understand
that .the fact of my government not being
yet officially acknowledged, can take from
it ihe rights inherent to every de facto gov
ernment, and place it in tffe category of a
private individual fitting out- a privateer
and thus change the nature and true chare
actcr of its national navy.. Such an inter
pretation of national law' appears "Io me to
be untenable. Relying on your impartiali
ty, I beg you to insert this letter in the ear
liest number of your csiimable journal.
Accept, sir, the assurance of my perfeei.
cons - dm anon.

A Yankee paper thus announces the death
of a Confederate'prisoner id the prison hos
pital near Sandusky, Ohio:
“The rebel Captain Fuller, commander of
the gunboats Colton and the Queen of the
pc st, who recently died in hospital, near
"t’ahd.usky City, Ohio, during hi3 sickness,
f e nt a request for his sisters. to come and
see Liza, but they refused to hold communi-
paiiou with a trajtor. Even after his death
their abhorrence of hie crime was so great
that they would net attend his funeral, and
objected to ‘placing his rebellious bones by
the side of this loyal father’s grave.’ ’,
The New York banks have voted to take
$35,000,000 of Mr. Chase’s new loan. It is
expected that the Boston banks will take
$10,000,000, and the Philadelphia banks $5,7
050,000—amounting m all to about $50,000,-
000.
A Northern paper Says:
“The following will give an idea of what
a*failn®3 the conscription bill has been :
in the fifth congressional district of Massa
chusetts, 1,852 men were called for, ot which
mjfnbgr the government received only 309.

Joiin Morgan.—The individual who is
now confined.in the Ohio Penitentiary be-
e.utse of his purposeless raid. through Indi
ana and that State, has, although he has had
his head shaved, a stock of chivalry about
him. We are informed by a United States
army officer, that when he reached Versail
les, Ripley county, this side of the Ohio line,
he found in tlie safe of the clerk’s office three
hundred thousand dollar's, done up in pack
ages, sent home by ‘soldiers in our ranks,
fighting for their country and Pur Own glu-
rious flag, to their families. Morgau had the
money in his hands, blit understanding
fn.'m whom it was and what Was its destina
tion, immediately returned it, remarking
that .if it was Uncle Sam’s money he would
take it, but never would be plunder any
brave in the field,' conscientiously perform
ing bis duty as he understood it. There is
a streak of honor aud chivalry about the
“thief” called Morgan, a3 .we have before
remarked.—Indianapolis Sentinel.
City
C are of Milk Cows.—Every; one who
owps a milk cow should know that they re
quire fully as much care and attention as the
ho%$j.. Few persons think of keeping a
hoSie/ whether blooded or not, without a
she'ter*ef some kind from the weather. Yet
they will permit their cows to take all kinds'
of v,calker, and still expect them to give an
abundance of mjlk and butter.
T > have a good cow, several points are ab-
sqisCfJy essential to be attended to, Jn .the
AWT
comfortable house ior them where they can
be kept dry in wet weather. Where the
food given them is not to be eaten from un
der loot, and where they can lie down to rest
without becoming filthy. These are the first
things to be provided. Next their food slops,
must be well .and thoroughly - : cooked, and,
clean at that. ‘ Dish water. from the kitchen
is suited for the hog. and not for the cow.
The pea3 must be boiled well done in pure
water, and salt, enough added to season it as
for table us. Qubbage leaves, turnips, pota
toes and carrots, when added, must be wasb*
ed clean as for your own table, and cooked
with equally as much care, and then fed to
them in quantity to satisfy without gorging.
The tub oi - manger m which they are fed
must be kept clean, and never allowed to
sour; iu short, everything connected, with
the cave and feeding of the cow must be
cleanly. Any cow who has a spark of de
cency or stdi-respect, will reject filthy food
as quick as a person will. Try it, andyou’ll
find it so. The cow should be led also with
rough food, fodder, hay or shucks, all cf
which should be in a good rack, and sound.
They will reject impure or spoiled fodder,
hay or shucks as you would tainted meat.
With this mode of keeping a cow, she will
keep in good condition, her hair be fine and
silky, and if she has any milking qualities,
will amply repay you for your care.—C'ol.
