C An Incident on the Railroad. “Von esnnot judge the man by the eoat he'Warts.'’ “Halloa, Limpy, tbo cars will start in a nvinato—hurry up,—or we shall leave yon beliird!’’ The cars were waiting at a. Station of one of our western railroads. The engine was puffing and blowing: The baggage- mauler was busy with baggageandHieeks. The men were hurrying to and fro with chests and valises, .packages and trunks. women and children were rushing fur the cars'and ht&tily securing t hop seats, while-the locomotive snorted, and puffed and blowcd. 7 • • • A man carelessly dressed was standing on the platform of the depot.. He was look ing arc and him and seemingly paid little attention to w-hilt was passing. It was easy to see that be wns-lamo. At a hasty glance one might easily have supposed that he weg a than of neither wealth or in fluence. The conductor of the train gave him a contemptuous look, and slapping him familiarly on the shoulder, he called out— “Halloa, Limpy*- better get on board, or the cars will leave you !” “Time enough, i. reckon,” replied the individual so roughly addressed,, and he rotained his seemingly listless position. The toast trunk was tumbled into the baggage car. “All aboard!” ei ied the conductor. ‘fGet on, Limpy,” said.he, as ho passed the lamo and carelessly-dressed man. - - • _Y .1—•" vf-* • ' - The lame man made do reply. Just as the train was slowly moving away, the lame man stepped on the plat form oftlm last curand walking in quietly took a seat. The train had moved on a few miles when the conductor appeared at ffhe loor 1 of the car where our friend was sitting. Passing along’ ho soon discovered the stran ger whom he had seen at the station. “Hand out your money hero!” “I don’t pay,” replied the lame man, very quietly. “Don’t pay ?” “No, sir.” “We’ll see about that. I shall put . you out at the next station !” and lie seized the valise which was on the rack over the head of our friend. “Better not to bo so rough, young man,’ replied the strangor. _ .

It must not be forgotten that there have been from 6ix to seven hundred political prisoners at Camp Chase at a time;. and although several hundred have -lately been diseliarged without trial, there are yet tliore some four hundred—one or two hundred of these have arrived there within a few days past from Kentucky and Virginia. These men are taken from tlieii homes, some from their beds at night, gome from their homes in daytimo, and a great many of them are picked up- in their fields at work, and never suffered to see’ their families before being spirited off to Ohio, and incarcerated ih tho celebrated Bastilo which will soon become as famous as 01- mutz itselt. Our Ohioans are put into the same pris on with these men irom otlier Slates, and from them we have learned some facts which the people of Ohio ought to know. Many of these men have been kept in pris on oyer one year, a great many for five, six, seven and eight months, without even seeing outside, or being allowed to commu nicate personally with any one^, not even wife, child, fathor, mother or stranger. They are furnished with nothing but a } single blanket; even these cold nights, un less they are able to purchase additional comforts with money they may bo able 10 comihand.

What a galorious day that are to be!— What a sublime cry in histry! What a proud kuhninaslimi and kotisumination and kerruskashun of yore politikul hopes ! Arter a few thousand bay klasped you in more then, he passed on to collect the fare from the other passengers As he stopped at a seat a few paces off, a gentleman who bqd beard the conversation just mention ed; looked up to the conductor and asked him.: “Do yon know to whom you were speak ing iu«t now ?” “No, sir!” “That was the Presdent of the road.” “Are you sure of that, sir ?” replied the conductor, trying to conceal his agita tion. 'Y “L know him.” « The color rose a little in the young man’s face, but with a strong effort heoontrolled himself, and went on collecting his fare as usual. Mean while'the President sat. quietly in his seat—.none of these who were near him.could unravel the expression of his face, nor tell what would bo the next move ments in tho scene. And ho—of what thought hef-r-IIe had been rudely treated; he had been unkindly taunted with the in firmity which had comeperbaps through no fault of his. lie could reVcnge himself if he chose. He could tell the directors the simple truth, and tho young man would bo deprivttl of his place at once; Should he do so? And yet, why should he care? He knew what ho was worth. Ho knew,how -ho had risen by his own-exertions to the - position he now held. . When a little , or ange pedlar,'anil Stood by the street cross ings, he had many a rebuff. He had out lived those days of hardness; he was re spect wl now. Should he care for a 'strati- geris roughness or taunt? Those who sat near liim waited curiously to see the end. Presently the conductor came back. With u Steady energy he walked up. to the President’*; side. Ho took his books from hia pocket, tbe bank bills, and the tickets vf biob ho had collected, and laid them in uis hand. . “I resign my place, air,”.besaid.- j The President looked over the accounts I for a moment, then motiouing him to tbe Vacant w*at at his side, said: “Bit dciwn, 9ir, I wonld like to talk with mg -irnt summer-doming, ifc wil1 , be “ fitten iVmc; become filthy, worn out, and scarcely hangs"-^ r \ L-nkhorn,^for you to lay. yourself dow m.

They have no bedding, and are, therefore, compelled to sleep on the bare boards. , They have not: wood enough furnished them to keep fires up ail night, and hence the suffering is intensified by the cold weather. If they atte mpt after night to walk out in the yard to take the cmiis off the droaryjnight they are instant ly .threatened to be shot by tho guards, as ordered by those in command. I.)r. Allen, of Columbia county, Ohio, said he laid on a board until his hips were black and blue. The wood furnished Ihem is four feet long, and they are compelled, each mess, to chop it up by themselves and »he provisions being furnished raw, they have to cook for themselves. . Recol lect, always, that these are political prison ers, against whom no one appears as ac cuser, and ho trial is-permitted. The prison has become filthy—awfully so—and the rats are in tfroveC If mir prisoners attenipt to kill one of these rats, they are forbidden, antf threatened with being shotinstantly. Recollect, always, as wo have said above, these are political prisoners, against whom some malicious negro worshipper has created a suspicion of disloyalty, but-whose name, is kept a secret,'and hpnee thero cat) be no trial. The prison is perfectly alive with lieo, and no chance is given to escape the liv ing vermin. A dead man (one of the pris oners) was the other day carried out to the' dead yard, laicl there over night, and when visited in the morning by othor prisonei's, who heard there w;is a dead man there, they-found -the hair on-his head stifl ? with lice and nita—the lice creeping into his eyes in great numbers; and as he lay. with 'his mouth open, the dice were thick, ei^iwl- ing in and -but'of his open moutlr. Not long since two of the prisoners got ip to a scuffle ip trying their strength, and... filially into alight, as w.as snpposed, and several other. persons; rushed iu. to jiart them, when the g.uards from the . lookout above fired on them,.kiiling an oldmaUrby the name of Jones, from Western Virginia, and.a-bail grazing the skull of anothor ; ho fell, and it was supposed, at first, he was killed also ; anothor . of the fiaUs passed through a boartl at the.head of ajsick.man in tlie hospital, and-ooly escaped him but a few inches. The two men in the scuffle wore pot; hurt. We might go further, but God. knows this is enough for once. It is ecioguh to make one’s bfood ru n cold to think of. it.
