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. Iota. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 29. 1866. Wanted. I Miscellaneous. 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. g man. a situation aa Clerk in - _ j KOI nonse.

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. Situation Wanted, To which the attention of ail la invited.

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- J5J? the pint or quart, while we would get only a the bread was baked in cards, and ofvo 8 ,tr break °ff four or five loaves or more and was about th* f° : the Y were our prieoa er ®- This o 1“ lMt . of June or of July. a ®° olc *' d rations at this time? . omet unea they were cooked and sometimes •'*a;n tbs' T —General Sheridan has gone to the Rio Grande to look after the troops there, who are very disorderly and likely to breed trouble with the French and Hex - cans.

Each of those Bottles have my name and the year 1806 blown In the glass. The mould being my private property uo other person can purchase bottles made in them. I neither sell nor give away any of those Bottles. ■ NO OTHER PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO DO SO. I simply lend them to those who purchase the con tents. with the understanding that they are to be re turned to me when empty. 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 or Mineral Water, which reduces the profits so much 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. ties.
