SU NDAY MORNING, OCX 11. 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 Whig. - 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. Cyrus vr.

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. J. N. MAFFI-T. ITEMS OF HEWS. 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. irbn, atfcl $101,-ID0, as follows: accepted 04/ substitutes 245, paid commutation 338. The residue were exempted for various causes. Tnree Rhode iSland Quaker conscripis. who refused to “ fight, pay or emigrate,’ have been sent to Fort Columbus, New York harbor, to be tried .by court martial as deserters. Joiin Morgan.—The individual who is now confined.in the Ohio Penitentiary be- e.utse of his purposeless raid. through Indi ana and that State, has, although he has had his head shaved, a stock of chivalry about him. We are informed by a United States army officer, that when he reached Versail les, Ripley county, this side of the Ohio line, he found in tlie safe of the clerk’s office three hundred thousand dollar's, done up in pack ages, sent home by ‘soldiers in our ranks, fighting for their country and Pur Own glu- rious flag, to their families. Morgau had the money in his hands, blit understanding fn.'m whom it was and what Was its destina tion, immediately returned it, remarking that .if it was Uncle Sam’s money he would take it, but never would be plunder any brave in the field,' conscientiously perform ing bis duty as he understood it. There is a streak of honor aud chivalry about the “thief” called Morgan, a3 .we have before remarked.—Indianapolis Sentinel. City C are of Milk Cows.—Every; one who owps a milk cow should know that they re quire fully as much care and attention as the ho%$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. Times.
