'/be South not to Bltmt for th« Am -
<t«rsoMVlll« Crurltlt*.
T<n New York World says President
Johnson oould not do * wiser thing than
ij turn over Captain Wirz for trial to a
competent jury of intelligent southern
n tn, paroled officers of the “confederate
army” or eminent civilians seleoted from
the host of the South.
Tbe Southern people as a class knew
nothing of tbe cruelties practiced at An
ffirsonville, (xcept through Northern
j lurnals, and these were thought to betho
iffepring of bate and malignity to work
upon prejudiced masses. It was morally
impossible that they should know of euoh
ouellies, when the reports of officers in
t! urge were in opposition to such etate
merits. “Even within the oirole of the
I uhlio «r,rvioo i’.sclf on cither side it was
rtiiirely out of the question for officials to
i x .mine into the condition of any depart
rin nt hut thst with which they wnro di
i> oily connected.
“To hold Gontral Lee, for example, re
i p irielble for tbe management of federal
prisoners in the rebel hands while that
commander was maneuvering the rebel
•Army of Northern Virginia,’ in the faoe
of Grunt and hts host, is simply irrational
—just as irrational as it would be to bold
General Sherman responsible for the mas
rncre of the Cheyenne Indians by Colonel
Obivington. Audersonville was directly
under the orders of General Winder, now
gone before a higher than any human trl
f tn. 1; and the reports of that offiocr were
Mccshuriiy made to the proper heads in
the rebel war offioo in Kiohmond. We do
:.ot need to go to the South to learn that it
nq-iires 3 very strenuous exertion of the
whole force of a free poople to get through
Key official report to the facts of a case,
when those facts happen to be not pre
cisely of a kind, vtere they truly known,
1 1 enhance tho reputation of the officials
reporting. Who can suppose, for exam
ple, that Secretary Welles belioves tho
facts, which all the unofficial world know
le 1 3 the foots, of tho conduct pursued by
bic engineer ia okief luhcrwood toward
Mr. Forbes, Against the reports of tho
naid engineer-in chief ?
“Not only to the southern people in geno
ml but to the whole body of prominent reb
el office-holders not direotly and responsi
bly connected with the immediate adminis
tration of Andersonville and its prisoners,
itisoniy fair and honest to presume thereat
m.ueaolions whioh must make that name
forever horrible la the ears of civilied
men are now for the first time in the way
oi being made known. No candid man
can quarrel with the southern peoplo for
disbelieving the northern siory of these
transactions while the war wasaotuaiiy ra
ging and passion was working itß blinding
work on the brain of both sections
County Fair In Kentucky
Tho Bourbon cgunty (ivy.) Fair opened
at Paris on the Oth Tho exhibited
were numerous, those for the knife far
exceeding those for tho yoke. Many
splendid horses were at the fair.ln passing
.judgment upon liotses, Kentuckians are
tho truest end quiokest of any people in
tbe States, wiTli whom the horso is a fa
vorite animal, and it may bo added that,
all other “ points ” being equal,'color will
decide a case—blood bay, black, or dark
iron gray, being favorites, in or out of
the ring.
Tho Q3ot exciting and interesting rings
—says a correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, were those of mares tma hdcl
under three years old : aged raaroq for
harness ; two year old stallions, and for
aay animal in single harness- The latter
ring, however, oould not properly be in
cluded iu the regular unities, for tho pre
mium was one of four—one for each dsy
of the fair—aud made up by tho hotel
keepers aud oUic-ms, and which consists
of a SSO cup. For this, Iwcniy-omries
were made, but only thirteen appeared.
Tho contest Was very exciting, and Ihe
elamor and cheering from tho “ Delict's
oorner ” almost deafening. Tito compet
itors appeared in sulkies, and made the
circuit of the amphitheatre after a whirl
lug spend that made one’s head swim.
The judges deliberated more over this
award thau any other, and finally decided
tu lavor of a dark blood stallion, which
took the cup, and a light bay which took
the ribbou.
The show of sucking oolts was largo
and interesting, and difficult to deoide,
owing to the s imouess which tho unde
veloped animal presents. A beautiful
chestnut sorrel (unpopular oolor,) took
Jho premium, ami a blood-bay tho ribbou.
A closely eoutustei ring, for two year
old sialhous in harness, was won by ,las.
E. Clay,one of the most promising young
farmers and stock ralsors in tho State-
It may bo moutionod here that Brutus
J. Clay, “the model farmer of Ken
tueky, ” as he is oallel and known by his
fellow couaitymoa, pays no attention to
the horse outside tho utility of tho animal
but devotes his industry aud experience
to developing the excellence of cattle, as.
better in the long run.
l'he Udanco of ladies at tho Fair
Is larr. 1} tils are nightly given. Tho
balls r u Bourbon house aro very at
tractive.
Whatever disngreoable associations may
-arise, in retrospect of tho late war, whioh
move than anything else in the history of
Kentucky, divided her people, no ripple
appears on the surface to mar the smooth
iiow of good feeling and fellowship, but
the mere looker-on cannot but observe,
with a chilling sense of dissatisfaction,
the total absenoe of the flag of the Onion
in public or private, and the non-oocur
rence of a single patriotic air, by public
band or private piano,

From the correspondent of the Augusta
Transcript wu learn that the Courier,

Tbe F irnt Baptist tjfcurob, the molher

crushed out of the wall, and lie3 in a
mass of ruins ; the fine organ, in which a
shell burst, is a chaos “ without form and

seven times. Meal cf the churches have
been struck, but none, perhaps, damaged
so badly Several well known ministers
are in the city—-among them Dina, Bjw

these ministers, which assembled ip (be

the Morris Street Lutheran Church, will

The following from the Louisville Jour

by cur merohauts. May wenot hope that
the Express oompany having Jed off io
this matter of reducing tbe tariff of
freights, the railroad companies generally
will follow suit.
The Journal says it is authorised to
state that on and after to morrow Mr.
Jaokson, of the Adams Express Company,
has received instructions to charge thirty
five cents lass on freights South from Lou

Tho Galveston Civilian of the Gih insl.,
says a largo mail was reoeivod by tbe
Haze, from New Orleans, at tbo Com
mercial Express office, and distributed to
the citizens gratuitously. The mails will
continue to be received and distributed
from that office until the postmaster at
Galveston reoeives bis commission.
Archibald S. Ruthven is dead. Ho died
in Scotland, July 23. He becamo » citi
zen ot Galveston in 1839, and has resided
m Texas over since-, with the t-xoepiion
of ocoosional visits to Europe and else
where.
One of tho most respectable and re
liable men of business in Galveston is on
his way to proouro apparatus for boring
in quest of oil, at the celebrated petro
leum epriugs at Sour Lake, in Hardin
county, near the railroad from Liberty to
Beaumont . There con bo no doubt of the
existence cf petroleum in large quanti
ties there ; but as it now cooks to the
surface spontaneously, it is co mixed rith
water and earthly ingredients that it is
thought beet to penetrato deeper into tbe
••bowels of the eorth” in hopes cf finding
a reservoir cf the pure article. whioh will
flow spontaneously through tho opening
thus made. The earth in and arouud the
lake is so permeated with this combus
tible oil that a clod will burn like a can
dle ; and wo have no doubt that oil of the
purust ktud might now bo made by dis
tillation. The indications are that im
mense deposits oi petroleum are to be
found comparatively near the surface,
not only at the lake llselt but other points
in the neighborhood.
The ootton market of Galveston remains
too unsettled to admit of exact quotations.
Sales ore made exclusively ter specie;
but factors differ as Well iu regard to pre
cise classifications as prices. We hear of
a sale of 19 bales Middling for
factors fix the various grades of Middling
at from 22 to 25c. A Houston merchant
informs us of a sale of Middling at 22c.
there. The market is fluctuating and
speculative.

The rrotSent on Cnnfitaiiem
It is reported that tbe President told
tbe Alabama delegation that no confisca
tion of property could lawfully bo effect
ed, unless the owners had been legally
convicted of treason. The effect of such
a decision will be to overthrow every act
of confiscation which by.s been enforced
at the South. Chief Justice Chase, it is
said, coincides in the President’s opinion.

JOY OF THE IMPERIALISTS CVIMI IHKIR
LATE VICTORIES.
Tha Herald's Yera Crus correspondent
cf the Ist says the Imperialists wore in a
State of intaese excitement and joy-at the
announcement by Marshal Bazain® of two
imperial triumphs It seems that'the
rumor which we h av'O sc often previously
board of tbe flight of Jaurtz and the tak
ing of hh capital by Maximilian’s troops,
has at- last proved true. They altered it
on the 16ih of August.
Ttio other imperial victory was the oc
cupying of tbe town of Hermasilio, a
place of leß3 than 9 000 inhabitants, which
the Republicans hsd previously evncua
ted. The;e acairs, though of no great
importance, are being made much of in
oelebralions ac.l illuminations by the
imperialists, and a special steamer had
been dispatched from Vera Cruz to France,
to convey the intelligence, aad yat this
is insignificant compared with (he success
of the Liberals at Okuenan.
