SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28.
day I went to Duncan with some of the other prison-
era and asked him if there was any news about our
being exchanged. He replied, “You s— of a b
what do you want to know that for ? You had no busi-
Ut n n g ° int0 *i? e army to fl S ht us.”
■ think that the man died from the blow
given him by Duncan ?
Counsel for the defence objected to this question,
and the objection was sustained by the commission,
after deliberation with closed doors.
v °twd.inflicted was upon the head, two or three
inches long, and his body, when the clothes were ta-
ken off, showed the black and blue marks from the
sicking; there was blood on his face and neck; I saw
k* a * ai1 °Pton before this; his health was about like
that ot the other prisoners, not good; he was a quiet
and inoffensive person; some of the prisoners used to
give him part of their rations; they generally thought
him half crazy; I don't think he was; the club was
about half the thickness of my arm.
Cross-examined Inj defence.—I am a saloon-keeper.
Q.—Are you the proprietor or bar-keeper ?
[Objected to by the Judge Advocate.]
Q*—"WRy is it that you can recollect so well the ac
tions of Duncan and cannot recollect the names of the
men said to have been killed V
^•~^ CCU US6 there were so many of the prisoners,
and Duncan was a man that every one knew.
examination resumed.—Cannot say whether
the provisions sold by Duncan to the sutlers were ta
ken from the rations that should have gone to the
prisoners or not; saw him bringing the stuff in, but
aon t know where he got it; I did see the half-witted
man aftw he was Btr uck by Duncan before he died; he
wa * unable to speak; the boys took him up and car
ried him to his detachment; at the time of this occur-
rence our rations consisted sometimes of com bread,
a loaf being divided among four or five of us, making
* ^i5 C °uf° r two inches thick and four or live long;
^ 19 a . P* nt of boiled beans so full of dust we
could nt eat it, sometimes a piece of bacon or beef two
Inches squaro; at ffrst the meat was not cooked, but
It wm afterwards, so that there was no fat in it; we
could not get any clothing at all; a pint of beans or
mush was given to each man; the half-witted man’s
body was naked when they carried it out to bury; I
heard of the beating and death of an East Tennessee
man but did not see it myself; Duncan did not take
the clothes of the half-witted man, another man took
them; have stated all I know with reference to thia
man s being beaten.
Witness was discharged and the commission ad
journed till ten o’clock this morning.

The Fenian* and the Sensational Press.
From the following article, which we copy
from the New York Times of the 24th inst.,
it appears that certain sensational presses of
that city, becoming alarmed at the Fenian
furore which they contributed to lermeutaud
keep alive throughout the country, are en
deavoring to escape the responsibility of
their reckless indiscretion:
Home to Roost—Moved by the Bharp thrusts of
nearly all the Canadian journals, the two morning pa-

Robert Falttgant, Esq,
Fellow-Citizens of Chatham County: It is with
pride that we present to you the name of our fellow-
soldier, Lt. Eobt. Falligant, for your suffrages for th* of
fice of County Solicitor. A young man of truscAur.
age and unquestionable ability, he is fully worthy of
your confidence. We have fought aide by dde.with
him on the battle-fields of Virginia and will bear foil
witness to the manly courage with which he has faced
danger and fulfilled his duty. At Spottsylvania, Cold
Harbor and Manassas, at Gettysburg, Sharpsburg and
Winchester, from the firat engagement at Harp*r‘a
Ferry to the last at Appomattox Court House he waaal-
ways in the front rank of those veterans who reflected
credit on their native State and won for themaelvea
the undying merit of brave and trusty soldier*. Otr
the bloody field of Sharpsburg he was promoted for
distinguished gallantry by his commander-in-chief,
Gen. R. E. Lee, and again at the second battle of Cold
Harbor be was complimented on the field of battle by
his chief of artillery and corps commander. Know
ing him under the trial of war, we unite with pride In
supporting him for the honors of peace. And we call
upon all those veterans of the battle-field to join us jg
electing our gallant and true officer to the position of
Solicitor of Chatham county.

THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN.
The rights of woman, what are they ?
The right to labor, love and pray;
The right to weep with those that weep.
The right to wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the falling tear.
The right to quell the rising fear;
The right to smooth the brow of care.
And whisper comfort in despair.
The right to watch the parting breath.
To soothe and cheer the bed of death;
The right, when earthly hopea all fail.
To point to that within the veil.
The right the wanderer to reclaim,
And win the lost from path9 of shame;
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the fatherless.

iiuk wuuniu. . - - Their chickens, like curses, have
the obligation of f omB ^ ome roost - and it trill be long before the edi-
tne oDitgauon ot tors recover from the effect of their most unwarranta
ble and wicked misrepresentations. It is not too much
to say that if the New York press had simply told the
truth about this business, just given the real facts and
no more, the Fenian excitement would to-day have
been a thing of the past, and many hundred thousand
dollars, taken from the bard-earnings of Ireland's gen
erous but credulous children, would have remained
to their credit in the savings banks. Even now these
journals are endeavoring to reinflate the bubble, and
give out dreadful inuendoea of plots aud traps and
fearful designs soon to burst upon the startled world.
For the oredit of Journalism these open and manifest
humbugs should bs sternly discountenanced.
All newspapers are likely tp be deceived, and some-
times to publish wild and exaggerated stories; but
when any one ol them persists in systematic exagger
ation and goes so far as to keep special correspondents
to manufacture untrue and exciting dispatches, they
all suffer more or less of the odium that must finally
attach to the guilty. The editor of a great public
journal, in these days, stands before the people in the
character of a witness in a court of law. and is in duty
bound to deliver his messages under the moral sanc
tion of an oath (of honor) to tell “the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but th* truth,” so far as reasonable
care and effort may enable him to do so. He who doeB
otherwise is a false light upon a dangerous shore,
luring the trusting mariner to fatal rocks and quick
sands and breakers for the benefit of smugglers and
wreckers, such as have been and are now running th*
Fenian swindle.

The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith to him who died;
With earnest love and gentle praise
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right, the intellect to train.
And guide the soul to noble aim;
Teach it to rise above earth’s toys.
And wing its flight for heavenly joys.
The right to live for those we love.
The right to die that love to prove;
The right to brighten earthly homes
With pleasant smiles and gentle tones.
Are these thy rights ? Then use them well;
Thy silent influence none can tell.
If these are thine, why ask for more ?
Thou hast enough to answer for.
Are these thy rights ? Then murmur not
That woman’s mission is thy lot;
Improve the talents God has given,
Life’s duty done, thy rest in heaven.

The Civil nights Bill.
A Washington letter of Tuesday, 23d, says : Th* air
has hoen thick with rumors ail day that the President
hae decided to veto the Civil Rights Bill, or at least
return it with his objection*, among which, this same
busy rumor says, are an objection to the second sec
tion, which makes State Conrts and their officers ac
countable to United States Court* on purely State
Right* questions; and an objection to the third sec
tion, which invests the officer* of the Freedman's
Bureau with constabulary function*. Rumor «i«e
says that the bill will simply be returned with a mes
sage approving its principles but pointing out the**
objections, it is hoped in some quarter* quite friend
ly to the President, that he will allow the bill to be
come a law by failing to approve it within th* required
time, and thus give an early opportunity for bringing
it before the Supreme Court for the purpo** of tea ting
the question of its constitutionality. One thmg u
