® f ^ceeds to consider <--u. jf •
tistc-nce of the dependent .Tsl.u.
’ among thesw m p-au jtoca
acking iu vital force and stock vitiated by inherited
tendency to vice. Among the prolific causes of this
vitiation of stock Is the use of alcohol. He holds that
tippling is worse than drunkeuness, so far as it affects
*be number and condition of tho offspring; that, other
things being equal, the progeny of habitual consum
ers of alcohol in small quantities will tend more
strongly than the children of temperate people or
even of occasional drunkards to fall into the depend
ent or pauper daaa. Alcohol stimulates the lower pro
pensities and weaken, the higher faculties, arousing
the passions, repressing tho will; when taken in large
doses this fact is evident to all. Any morbid condition
of body frequently repeated becomes established by
habit, aud then affects the man in various ways, and
makes him more liable to certain diseases. This lia
bility or tendency he transmits to his children, just
as surely as ho transmits likeness in form or feature.
Now, the use of alcohol certainly does induce a morbid
condition of body. A given dose excites the auimal
nature to powerful and ungovernable activity, and ut
terly paralysis reason, conscience aud the will. But a
smaller dose does the same thing, only in a lesser de
gree. It is morally certain that the frequent or hab
itual overthrow of the conscience and will, or tho
habitual weakening of them, soon establishes a mor
bid condition, with morbid appetites and tendencies,
which are surely trausmitted to the offspring. Alco-
1Q 1 vitiates the system, but, unlike other poisons, the
solid tissues less aud the moral sei^timents more. By
Tapidity with which alcoholic poison is
oxidized and eliminated, the system, by the action of
the law of recuperation, rapidly recovers its normal
condition. But it is frequently and constantly repeat
ed the function disturbance becomes permanent, aud at
last brings about organic change. Therefore drunken
ness (especially as it usually depresses the procreative
powers during the fit) may not be transmitted, if the
drunkard keep sober between times; whereas, since
the system of a tippler is constantly under the influ
ence of the poison, there can be no chance for his
children to escape its influence. Where procreation
does takes place during drunkenness the deformities
and passions in the offspring, so common aud well
established, do not permit us to doubt their cause.
The Doctor argues from these premises that tho
right to use or not to use alcohol passed beyond the
sphere of individual right, and comes into the sphere
of social rights; that an individual has no right to
pursue a course which will certainly tend to burden
society with criminals or paupers; that if such a ten
dency is manifest, then society has a right to restrain
them in self defence, and the exercise of the right be
comes merely a question of expediency. The report
shows, among other ominous facts, that 28.87 per cent,
of the deaths of the poorer (mostly foreign) classes in
Boston and its vicinity are of children under one year
of age, and only 11.63 per cent, of the comfortable
class is of the same age; that 58.3 per cent, of the poor
are under five, and only 27.96 per cent, of the com
fortable.
The question of our comruunicatioua, so important
in war, you know, is on. of the most interesting prac
tical questions balore the State Legislature. It has
always been an interesting matter in the State govern
ment. Some years ago the State lent its credit to a large
amount to build the Western Railroad, which connect
us with Albany, and furnishes the direct route to the
great West. You can see on the maps that this road
makes a rather wide detour to the southward, via
Springfield and Northampton, by which means, at an
expense of some forty miles of extra distance, it Hanks
the spur of the Green .Mountains which extends from
\ ermont in Massachusetts. A number of years ago
a direct route was proposed, by means of a tunnel
nearly live miles in length, to be known as the Hoosac
Tunnel, through the mountain range at Greenfield.
The was extensively discussed and persistently log
rolled an l lobbied, and the credit of the State finally
given to the stupendous undertaking. The Hoosac
Tunnel—familiarly known in the State as the
“Hoosac bore"—has been dragging along lor
years, and the progress Is not such as to en
courage the hope that the present generation
will ever see the work completed. About half
a mile has been excavated, and over four miles
remain undone. The work is about as near done as
was the catching of twelve mice in the case of the boy
who said that he had only to catch the one he was then
after and eleven more. The delays and difficulties of
the undertaking have raised up a powerful faction in
opposition to the scheme, and the question now is
vvhether ihe State, which has the whole burden upon
its shoulders, shall back out, aud pocket a loss of two
millions, or go on and throw an indefinite further
number of millions into this seemingly bottomless
pit. A route has been surveyed over the mountains
by which it is said a railroad could be built much
cheaper, and within a year. Meanwhile the question
has bel l! raised whether the Western Railroad is doing
all that it can to accommodate the western traffic of the
State; and it having been decided that it is not, the
proposition is made that the State buy the railroad,
which it has the right to do in accordance with the
provisions of the charter by paying the first cost aud
seven per cent annual interest from the date of out
lay. Several hearings have been had upon tiie ques
tion, but as the stockholders claim compound interest
on the original cost, in case of purchase, which would
bring the stock up to over two hundred dollars per
share, against the present selling price of 140, the
question of purchase is very doubtful.
lour readers may recollect the mysterious robbory
of the Concord Bunk, of some $300,000, to which no
clue was obtained for a long while, but the perpetra
tors of which were recently traced, and one ol them
discovered in New Jersey, in a fine villa on the
Passaic, ft was reported at the time of the arrest
that some $200,000 of the missing money hud been re
covered, having been discovered buried iu very secret
places by the detectives, ft now appears that nobody
concerned m the robbery remains in custody, but
that the detectives pledgod Moore, alias Adams, his
personal soeurity if he would give up two-thirds of the
amount stolen. The officers of the bank were very
glad to get their property back on any terms, but tbls
seems to be a very good way to encourage robberies.
Greene, the Malden murderer, whoso case has
bored everybody so long, is expected to swing off on
the 13th of April, the Executive Council having de
cided against a .pardon. It is understood that tho
view taken by Gov. Andrew, which caused him to de
lay the execution through his term, will be tested be
fore the Supreme Court on a Writ of Error. That view
was that tho jury Inust decide the degree of murder.
Greene pleaded guilty to murder iu the first degree,
and there was uo trial. The Supreme Court have al
ready given an opinion supporting the sentence upon
Greene’s plee. Greene, who murdered a good friend
for money, will die the same cowardiy wretch he has
hved.
The Boston Theatre has finally been leased for the
ensuing year to a company of which J. S. Clark
and Edwin Booth are the visible parties. It is sup-
possd, however, that Orl indo Tompkins, apothecary,
and A. W. Thayer, broker, two of the directors ol the
Boston Theatre corporation, will have most to do with
its management, both Booth and Clarke being inter
ested in theatres in New York and Philadelphia. Miss
Bateman is now playing “Leah" at the Boston to
crowded houses. E. L. Davenport, the well known
actor aud genial gentleman, has been offered the man
agement of the new Continental. At the museum this
is the last week of a spectacular drama by
'. J.S. Jones of this city, entitled
The Sons of the Cape” (Cod). Its prin
cipal moral is an attempt to ridicule Homceoputhy;
the great spectacular effect is a storm scene, which is
really a very fine thing. A large corps of experienced
carpet shakers are employed to produce waves, and
boats glide about in the most nautical style.
The weather, which was very blustering the past
week in March, has been mild and May-like since,
and prognostication ol spring are based upon the ap
pearance of a caterpillar in our manpiacturing cities.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 29. 1866.

goods by an Adjutant in a Confederate regiment. The
stuff was brought in his own wagon. The other shops
bought as they could. Sometimes they would carry
a dead comrade out to get a chance to buy goods,
sometimes they bought it of the guard. I havesOen
sutlers buying stuff outside, when I had been* out
myself. I do know that Duncan took articles from
prisoners outside the stockade. He took some onions T>Yayoung
from me. £j house.
They were taken lrom three of us, Varney and
Hinman were the other men’s names. The onions
were taken directly from me; they were bought iij.
partnership.
I don’t know whether it was contrary to the rules of
the prison for a prisoner to carry anything into the
stockade, not knowing what the rules of the prison
were. I have seen prisoners, other than sutlers,
bringing in provisions upon returning fnuvi.outside.
Prisoners disposed of their jewelry, etc.^jiot in the
way of traffic but to obtain necessary food. The
ration during July, until the new stockade was built,
about the 10th, consisted of a half-ration of bread
and from half a pint to a pint of meal, and an ounce
and a half or two ounces of bacon, with two-thirds of
a spoonful of salt for two days rations. The meat
was sometimes in a good condition and often very
bad—maggoty. After the new stockade was built the
ration was very much less. We then got half a pint
of beans or shucks stewed, and in place of the bacon
a piece of beef. Very often we got whac was called
mush, which was simply corn meal thrown into water
without salt. I have seen this mush emptied upon
the ground because there was nothing in which to
carry it to our detachments. I have also seen it
carried out of the stockade for the same reason.
When it was emptied on the ground the boys had
to scramble for it and each get what he • »uld. The ration
was supplied once iu twenty-four hours. The mush
was issued in lieu of the bread. There were a great
many days when the rations were not issued I re
ceived money for the watch that I sold.
The men to whom Duncan gave large quantities of
meal were Federal prisoners I think. I never saw
Duncan about the work-liouse ; never saw him mis
use any of the prisoners, that is to strike them or
maltreat them, any more than I have stated before.
The sutlers’ stands were, 1 think, in one or two cases
owned in part by members of the garison; most of
them were owned by prisoners only.There were 90 men
in our detachment, but they were not kept together,
those not having blankets going with those who had.
Some of the men had holes in the ground for shelter,
some had blankets or fragments of them stuck on
sticks and pinned together with sticks. I was in
charge of the detachment only a month or two, being
taken sick; there were 90 men in it when I took it,
and 57 when I left it; all but three of these absent men
had died; 14 men went in with me from my company,
Wafjted.

and only three came out. The colored prisoners at An-
dersonville were treated in some respects better and in
others worse than the white prisoners. They were
compelled to work on the fortifications, but they re
ceived rations for their work and brought them in.
[The Court stated that many questions had been
asked of this witness in order ta elicit testimony to
be placed on record, without regard to its bearing
upon the case of the prisoner under trial.]
Wm. C.^ Sleeper called—Am a farmer; reside at
Stafford, Yt; I entered the service of the U. S. on the
20th June, 1361, iu the 2d Regt. Vermont Volunteers;
I was in service until the 4th February, 1865; was cap
tured 25th February, 1863, near Warrenton, Va.; was
confined in several places and finally at Anderaonville,
Ga.; was paroled in this city just thirteen months to a
day from the time I was captured. I have known the
prisoner Duncan at Andersonville. I was taken out
side the prison to bake bread for the prisoners; Dun
can’s duties at Andersonviiie appeared to be those of
commissary sergeant; at that time the cookery and
bakery were both in the same building, and for a
month afterwards; he had charge of the cookery and
bakery; the meat, rice and beans or peas, were hauled
ll "“ from the post commissary; Duncan here took
there
charge of these rations ; he kept them for about six
hours before sending them inside. Duncan’s business
was to cook the meal into bread and boil the meat. I
don’t know whose business it was to see that these ra
tions were given out to the prisoners. Duncan weigh
ed out the meat and counted out the bread into the
wagons, but further than that I could not keep track
of him. Duncan was in charge of the men in the ba
kery . The men detailed to serve out the rations in
the stockade were taken from different regiments.
There were three men in the bakery; one waa a detec
tive employed to watch the Yanks; these men I sup
pose were under charge of Duncan. I have seen the
meat boiled while I was iu the cookery; if there was
time the meat and the beans would be well cooked;
after the meat waa cooked it was taken from the kettle
and thrown into a trough at the side of the room, and
it was then taken, after being weighed, to the wagons;
it was thrown upon this trough to cool off and princi
pally to extract the grease, the trough being so ar
ranged that the grease would run off into a tub; I am
positive that the latter was the chief object; the grease
was barrelled up and sent off; it was said that it went
to Macon; the grease was drained off and barrelled by
the orders of Duncan; the ration issued by the Com
missary at this time was one pound of corn meal and
one-third of a pound of meat; when beans were issued
we did not get so much bread; there was seldom bread
enough cooked, so we had to take meal.
I don’t know who had charge of the boxes sent to
prisoners; believe it was the post commissary; I have
seen Duncan have them in the wagon; it was general
ly believed that these boxes were all opened by order
of Gen. Winder, in search of liquors, private letters,
&c.; Duncan, with several others, was present at one
time when the boxes were opened; I have seen a man
named Humes take out articles, such as handkerchiefs,
coffee, Ac., and put them in a sack; I have seen Dun
can start for his house with some of this stuff; such as
sugar, coffee, Ac., but not so much in quantity as
Humes took; Duncan made his brags that he had his
breakfast of Yankee coffee, well sweetened; Duncan’s
quarters were about a quarter of a mile distant from
the bakery; ho had two men in the bakery who never
appeared to be doing anything; I never saw anything
but a ham taken from the bakery, whether for these
two men or for his own use I don’t know.
1 never saw any man put in the stocks by Duncan
or by his orders; have known him to take a hundred
pounds of Hour that belonged to mo individually; I
bought thi3 flour of a Confederate soldier in tho 55th
Georgia Regiment; I paid $45 in greenbacks for it;
Duncan was always civil in my presence, and always
treated me civilly except in the case of the flour. I
arrived in Andersonviiie on the 28th of February,
1864; I went out of the stockade 1 on tho 5th of May,
1864.
Atter the cookery and bakery were separated, Dun
can had charge of the • bakery; the cookery was in
charge of another man.

TRIAL OP JAMES W. DUNCAN,
MILITARY COMMISSION
For Alleged Cruelty to Federal Prisoners
at Andersonviiie.
[Reported for the Savannah Herxld ]
THIRD DAY.
The Military Commission engaged upon the trial of
of James W. Duncan, charged with violation of the
laws of war in cruelly treating Union prisoners at An-
dersonville, assembled again yesterday morning pur
suant to adjournment.
L. S. Pond, a witness for the prosecution, was first
called:
Am a clerk in the Quartermaster’s Department at
Washington, D. C. Was in the United States service
from 8th February, 1864, until 3d July, 1865, in the 2d
New York Heavy Artillery. Was taken prisoner bn
the 17th June, 1864, and was in prison until the 21st
of November, 1864; was at Petersburg, Va., five days,
and was taken from there to Andersonviiie. I hare
seen the prisoner at Andersonviiie.
Q-—What do you know of bis appropriating rations
and using them?
A.—I have seen him give out bags of rice and meal
aud syrup and molasses, issued to him, to the sutlers
in the cump; I have seen him give syrup and molasses
to persons on the police and to his friends; I supposed
be sold them.
Q.—Do you know of his having taken advantage of
the necessities of prisoners in other ways?
A.—I know that he bought articles of our prisoners
for very trifling sums; he bought a pair of boots of
myself, and a watch of a man named Herman; I know
that he has received money from the persons to whom
be sent the meal, and of his asking them to get all the
silver they could; I could not swear to any acts of
cruelty committed by Duncan, except his taking things
away from men who went out to bury dead men; he
used to be called Commissary by the prisoners.
Cross-exAimined Sp dejktux.—I don’t know that the
rice, meal, etc., given to the sutlers came from the ra
tions of the prisoners, but they were taken off the wa
gon that the rations were issued from; they were in
bags the same as our rations; the syrup was issued
from barrels, and was issued in pails to the detach'-
IIU ’ n | a : he used to give it to his friends out of the bar-

NO OTHER PERSON HAS A RIGHT

I simply lend them to those who purchase the con

This is well understood by ail, yet many, regard
less of their just obligations, frequently lend or sell
those bottles with the Soda Water or other ilqaids,
thereby depriving me of my property and subjecting
me to losses which are unjnst and unlawful.
Tho»o Bottles are now very expensive, rendered
more so by the Patent Cork Fastener attached to and
lost with every bottte which I lose, together with the
many taxes Imposed upon this species of business,
the most oppressive of which is a direct tax of six
per cent, to the Government on gross sales of Soda

that it is impossible, at present prices, to submit to
the loss of Bottles, and I do hereby cautian all per
sons against buying, selling, filling, with liquids, or
In any manner depriving me of the nse of said Bot.
