MASS MBKTIXO OK FEDERAL PRIS
ONERS.
At a mass meeting hold September 28th,
1864, by the Federal prisoners confioed at
Savannah,Georgia, it was Unanimously agreed
that the following resolutions be sent to the
President of that United States, in the hope
that he might thereby take such steps
ns in his wisdom Le might tbir.k neces
sary for our speedy exchange or parole.
Resolved, That whi e we would declare our
unbounded love for the Union, for the homo
of our lathers, uud for the graves of those we
venerate, wo would beg most respectfully
that our situation as prisoners be diligently
enquired into, and every obstacle consistent
with the honor and dignity of the Govern
ment at once removed.
Resolv and, That whilst allowing the Confede
rate authorities ufi due praise for the atten
tion paid to.prisoners, numbers of our men
are daily consigned to early graves, in the
prime of manhood, far from home and kin
dred, nnd this is not caused intentionally by
the Confederate Government; put bv the fnreo
of circumstance, the prisoner is obiiged to go
without shelter, and iu a great portion of ca
ses, without medicine.
Resolv'd, That whereas, ten thousand of
out brave comrades Lave descended to au
untimely grave within the last six months,
and as we believe their death was
caused by the difference of clin.ate the pecu
liar kind vud insufficiency of food, and lack
ot proper medical treatment; and whereas,
those difficulties still remain, we vfould de
clare, as our firm belief, that unless wo are
speedily exchanged, we have no other alterna
tiv* but to share the lamentable fate of our
comrades. Must this thing still go on ? Is
there re hope ?
Resolved, That whereas the coldjand incle
tnent season of the year is fast approaching,
we bold it to be our duty as soldiers and citi
r.ens of the United States to inform onr Go
vernment that tho majority of the prisoners
arc without proper clothing, in some cases
being almost naked, add are without blankets
to protect us- from tho scorching sun by day,'
or the heavy dews by night, and we would
most respectfully request the Government to
make some arrangements whereby we tnn be
supplieff with those to us necessary articles.
Resolved, That whereas the term of service
of many of our comrades having expired,
they having served truly and faithfully for
the terms ot their several enlistments, would
m >«t respectfully ask of their Government,
are they to be forgotten? are past .-'ertlceS to
be ignored? Not having seen their wives and
little ones for over three years, they would
in'*st respectfully but firmly request tho Gov
ernment to make some arrangements where
by they can be exchanged or paroled.
Resolved, That whereas, in the fortune of
war, it was our lot to become prisoners, we
have suffered patiently, and are still willing
to suffer, if by so doing, we can benefit the
country, but we would most respectfully beg
to say that we arc not willing to suffer to
further the ends of any party or clique to the
detriment of our own honor, our families and
oir country; and we would beg that this
affair be explained to us, that we may con
tinue to hold the Government in that respect
which is necessary to make a good citizen
and soldier. P. Bradlrt,
Chairman of Com. in behalf of Prisoners.
Mhriuam's SrjiMarise Vissiv —A corres-*
ponde.nt who has just been down in the sub
marine vessel recently invented and manu
factured in this city, by ti. S. Merriam, and
just tested by himself and the government,"
near New York, Sends us the following ac
count of bis experience :
Entering the singular vessel from the top,
the door was closed and the prder, “Men to
your places,” given to the little crew, who
promptly obeyed. When everything was
ready, Mr. Merriam turned some valves and
the compressed air came hissing in, produ
cing a very unpleasant sensation upon the
drum of the ears, >»f which one was at once
relieved by inspiring and swallowing. The
vessel seemed perfectly under control, for we
stopped when half way down to the bottom,
and raised the door on the bottom of the
boat, but the air inside of course prevented
any wateri'from coming in, not even enough
to wet the soles of our feet. One of the crew
from your city improved this opportunity to
dive out and come upon the surface of tb<i
water, much to the astonishment of the spec
tators. He afterwards returned, entering the
vessel from the bottom, when the door was
closed, and another rush of compressed air
came in, and we were on the bed of the river,
twenty odd feet under water, this distance'
requiring an additional pressure to resist the
water with the door open. We could stand
on the bottom of the river and not wet our
feet, and at that distance under the water
could easily see to read by the light that
came in at the glass window. Bells ringing
outside were also beard distinctly. To re
turn to the rest of the world only * few
strokes of the pump are necessary; the air
rushed out of the bottom, and the float was
quickly on the surface of the water. "We
moved with a propeller easily under as well
as upon the water, and in all respects the
vessel worked so completely that its success
js undoubted. —Springfield Republican.
Fort Morgan not is a State op Mutiny.— -It

in such stories. I btve conversed with many

ECHOLS IN PURSUIT. •
Richmond, October 4.—Au official despatch
from General Echols, from Saltville, dated Sep
tember 30, says : “We whipped the enemy bad
ly here yesterday. He has retired in confusion,
leaving his dea 1 and wounded in our hands—
among them Brigad er Gen. Gocde and many
officers.”
“There were two or thre* regiments of
negro troops, which were badly cut up. The
reserves and detailed men acted eplondidly.
The enemy’s forces were about six thousand
We are in hot pursuit.”
For the information of friends, the Charles
ton Courier is requested by Major Lamar
Fontaino to state that Capt J L Griffith, of
Kentucky, captured with Gen Morgan, died
on the 11th of August, and Capt E D Warden,
of Louisville, Kentucky,- died on the 15th
August—both of typhoid fever, in Fort Dcla

Making Vinegar. —Vinegar, according to
a writer in the Genesse Farmer, is cheaply
made. We publish his receipt: To eight
gallons of clear rain water, add three quarts
of molasses, put into a good ca>k; shake well
a few times, then add two or threo spoonsful"
of good yeast cakes. If in the summer, place
the cask io tho sun; if in the winter, near the
chimney where it may be wnrra. In ten of
fifteen days, add to the liquid a sheet of
brown paper, torn in strips, Jippetl in mo
lasses, and good vinegar will be procured.
The paper will, in this way, form what is
called the “mother” or life of vinegar.
Murder or Mosnv’f ‘Ten.—A few days ago
a party of Yankees captured flvo of Mosby’s
men and two citizens, near Front Royal, War
ren eoun y. They murdered tho whole of
them—shooting three of tho number and
banging four, the murderers threatened t<»
barn the houses of any citizens who removed
the bodies. Ooe of the victims was a justice
nf the peace.
We hope and believe that the gallant Col.
Mosby will retaliate in a manner that will
strike terror lo the hearts of tbo assassins,
and prevent a repetition of such brutality.—
