jutnlnaUon of H. Rive* Pollard, Edi
tor of *l»e Southern Opinion.
IIichmond, November .24, 11 a. m.—H.
Rites Pollard, editor of the Southern Opinion,
tras shot and killed this morning at ten
o'clock, while passing near his office, by
James Grant. The cause of the Bhooting was
a publication in the Opinion reflecting on the
character of a member of Grant's .family.
The following are the particulars of the
tragedy this morning: On Saturday a report
was published in the Southern Opinion relative
to the elopement of the daughter of Wm. H.
Grant, wealthy tobacconist of this city. This
morning about ten o’clock, ias H. Eives Pol
lard, editor of the paper, was near his office
door, corner of Main and Fourteenth streets,
going in, a shot was fired from the upper win
dow of a building opposite. Mr. Pollard fell
dead, eleven buckshot having entered his
body, one passing through his heart The
police seachetl the building and found James
Grant, a brother of the lady named, in a
room. He surrendered and was taken to the
Station House. A double barreUed gun, with
one barrel discharged, was found in the room.
The affair has caused great excitement here,
and a large crowd has been gathered around
the Opinion office since its occurrence.

GRANT’S POSITION AND COURSE OUT
LINED BY HIMSELF.
Highly Important Development.
The New York Times, of the-17th, has a
five column letter from a special correspond
ent at Galena, who writes the morning after
the election, after spending the previous
evening in familiar converse,with General
Grant, while receiving the election returns
by telegraph. The annexed extract affords
probably a better notion of the general drift
of Grant’s ideas and feelings than anything
heretofore made public:
GENERAL grant's POLITICAL VIEWS.
The Daily Galena Gazette, on the 20th of
March, 1868, contained a leading editorial
concerning the nomination of Grant to the
Presidency. At that time it was read in the
presence of the General and several other
gentlemen in Washington,' and received his
unqualified approval and endorsement. From
this editorial I extract the following para
graphs:
“ From our knowledge of Gen. Grant we
feel authorized in saying, that in the future
as in the past, his position and his opinions
on aU the great questions which are convul
sing the countiy, will be made known as far
as they can be through his official acts. He
will want no other platform to stand upon be
fore the American people than that which he
makes by such official acts and by his milita
ry orders. They will be such as will show,
when the time comes, that the great masses
of the loyal people of this country can repose
the most implicit confidence in him.
“We know that aU his hopes and sympa
thies are with the great and patriotic Union
Party of this country. In feeling and senti
ment he is thoroughly identified with the
millions of loyal people who, in the long
years of war and carnage, gave their hearts,
their blood and their treasure to their coun
try. Be has neither sympathy with nor tolere-
ration for any party or any set of men, who were
against the country in its terrible time of trial and
peril through which it has passed. With no
ambition but to serve the best interests of his
countiy, guided by the loftiest patriotism,
looking to a regenerated nation, now resting
npon the basis of universal liberty, all loyal
and good men can now turn to him as their
reliance and hope. If the good of the nation
demand it, there can be no doubt that he
wiH, at the proper time, respond to the unan
imous voice of his loyal countrymen, and
permit them to rally under his banner which
wiH prove no less victorious in peace, than it
was in the storm-cloud of war.”
Gen. Grant stood upon that platform more
than two and a half years ago. No word or
deed of his from that day to this can be dis
torted to mean anything, different. He is
committed inflexibly to the war part of the
nation, and he has no toleration for the Cop-
E erhead wing of the Democracy. Whenever
e has occasion to refer to the Democracy at
aU, he applies the term “ Copperhead," for
he only recognizes two parties in the land,
’one idith the rebels and tbe other with the loy
ally of the nation.
On the financial and reconstruction ques
tions, both growing directly out of the rebel
lion and ns inseparable from each other as
from it, he is heart and soul with the Repub-
lican party. He said in my hearing : “ It is
wickedness and foUy to talk of repudiation
in any shape. The debt was contracted to
carry on the war. and it is as sacred as the
war itself.”
Magnanimity and generosity are largely
developed in Grant’s nature. He is punctil-
lious about observing the terms of the parole
given the surrendering rebels, so long as it is
not broken by them. Hence his unyielding op
position to any interference with Lee by
Andy Johnson while Lee kept the plighted
faith. But Gen. Grant feels keenly concern- ;
ing the diabolical course of the Kuklux Elan,
composed as it is almost wholly of paroled
rebels, and countenanced and led by rebel
officers; and he is not insensible to the palpa
ble feet that rebels in editorial places can
easily break the terms of the parole by advo
cating incendiary' doctrines and fomenting
turbulence and bloodshed. The day follow
ing his election he said to me: ‘Td like to
see the tone of the rebel papers now. I im
agine they will quiet down as they did after
Lee’s surrender.”
This intimated, taken in connection with
farther remarks, as much as to say, “con
tinued treasonable teachings and violence
there wiH and must be suppressed." I doubt
if he will entertain all his hopes of the South
ern people's return to reason when his eye
fells on the editorial in the Memphis Ava
lanche, appearing the day after the election.
General Grant certainly regards the terms of
the Deconstruction laws eminently magnani-
mons under the circumstances. Speaking of
rebel impudence in demanding power, etc.,
he detailed to me a historic instance of pecu
liar import. He said:
“The morning that Lee surrendered he
rode out between the lines and I went out and
met him, and we had a couple of hours’ talk.
Lee said he hoped I wonhYoffer as magnani
mous terms to the other Confederate armies
as his had received. I.told him he should, if
he wished to serve his friends, go to the other
armies in person and prevail upon them to
surrender. He 6«id he would wish to see
Mr. Davis first. I didn’t encourage a con
ference with Mr. Davis, so that suggestion
ended. But what I wanted to caU your at
tention to was this: Lee thought the South
ern people would be perfectly, satisfied to
give up aU their property,..and all they ex
pected of the Government was to be secured
m life and a right to go back unmolested to
try to live industriously and peacefully in
this Government. Sul as for ever liaving any
voice again in the Government, or exercising po
litical rights, why they neither thought of nor ex
pected any such thing,*
These are the words from Grant s own bps
since his election to the Presidency. And he
is not a sluggard in statesmanship. He will
not be found stubbornly asserting his old-
time views against the progress qf the age.
He wiH swim with every tidal swell, and grow
with the country’s growth. Let progressive
men who fear that he is behind the van take
courage, and remember that the beloved
Henty Clay-wrote on the lgth of March, 1850,
less than a score of years ago, to James Har
lan, as fellows:
“There is not, I believe, a prominent Whig
in either House that has any confidential in
tercourse with the_ Executive. Mr. Seward,
it is said, bad; but his lute abolition speech has

and Grant leads it
When NapoleonBonaparte was a boy, warm
with the inspiration of liberty and equal jus
tice, he wrote a prize essay, and won the
prize, entitled, “What oro tbs Principles and
the Institutions Necessary to make Men Hap
py.’? When, through a policy of public
iniquity and injustice, he arose to regal
power, Talleyrand held this original essay
before his eyes. Napoleon, exasperated,
dashed it into the fire; and soon after his
monarchy crumbled, and he, like all who turn
backward, went down. - Ulysses 8. Grant is
not of that material. Ho will keep pace.wilh
advancing public sentiment Lincoln did.
Morton confesses to being constantly taught
by circumstances. Events necessarily teach
and guide the true statesman.
Grant is not the man of whom Hugo wrote,
when he spoka of great talker who itali
cised his smiles and quoted his gestures. -
The deep current of his feeling spans a con
tinent, and so far will the sham, retrogressive
Democracy be from making captive of this
heroic conqueror of many ftrjmej!, that (hey
and all the people wiH awake to the wonders
of his progressive spirit, when his inaugural
address shall unfold the broad plans ot his
ahninistratioR. ,,
I was conversing with bn» of the expan
sion of the .Western settlements; of the rail
ways Jo the Pacific ; and the grand results
iu that direction while tbe impious and re
bellious South has pined and suffered.
“I think,” said Grant, “that Providence
SifUt hive had a hand in it, and prevented an
earlier reconstruction of the (South for two
reasons ; first, to keep the tide of emigration
and enterprise West, and secondly, to punish
the Southern people, through their own
agency for their unceasing errors.” >
This was certainly an original view of the
situation. The day after the election hun
dreds of Galena people called to congratulate
Gen. Grant.. Among them was a chief of an
itinerant troupe playing a semi-brevet “Black
Crook.” Grant recognized him as a West
Point classmate. The incident was laugh
able, in some aspects, and, at least, sugges
tive as showing the inclinations, accidents
and fortunes of life.
It is idle to speculate upon the probabilities
in the line of Cabinet-making.' A staff offi
cer, certainly in Grant's confidence, said to
me, “No human being will know anything
about the Cabinet, or other matters apper
taining to his conduct of 'the incoming Ad
ministration, till after the electors have cast
their votes, and Grant is thereby declared
President of the United States.”
Let ns not forget that Grant is great, and
wise, and patriotic; and through good and
evil report he has pursued a straightforward
course; that his brilliant triumphs in war and
labors in peace show him to be a man of sig
nal perspicacity, invulnerable in great moral
purpose, and invincible in his onward sweep
to victory.
If his motto be that of Hayti, “Dieu, ma
patrie et mon epee”—God, my country and my
sword—it finds no sangninary heralding, but
stands as the patriotic base of a monument
crowned with the other noble words, “Let us
have peace.”
Southern Prisoners at Elmira.
Brooklyn, November 10.
To the Editor of the World;
Sm : I beg herewith (after having carefully
gone through the various documents in my.
possession pertaining to the matter) to for
ward you the following statistics and facts
of the mortality of the rebel prisoners in the
Northern prisons, more particularly at that of
Elmira, N. Y., where I served as one of the
medical officers for many months. I found,
on commencement of my duties at Elmira,
about 11,000 rebel prisoners, fully one-third
of whom were under medical treatment for
diseases principally owing to an improper
diet, a want of clothing, necessary shelter and
bad surroundings; the diseases were conse
quently of the foUowing nature: Scurvy, diar-
rlicea, pneumonia, and the various branches
of typhoid, aU superinduced by the causes,
more or less, aforementioned. The winter of
1864-5 was an unusually severe and rigid one,
and the prisoners arriving from the Southern
States during this season were mostly old
men and lads, clothed in attire suitable only
to the genial climate of the South. I need
not state to you that- this alone was ample
cause for an unusual mortality amongst them.
The surroundings were of the following na
ture, viz: narrow, confined limits, but a few'
acres of gronnd in extent, and through which
slowly flowed a turbid stream of water, carry
ing along with it all the excremental filth and
debris of the camp; this stream of water, hor
rible to relate, was the only source of supply, a
for an extended period, that the prisoners could
possibly use for the purpose ofablntion, and to
slake their thirst from day to day; the tents and
other shelter allotted to the camp at Elmira
were insufficient, and crowded to the utmost
extent; hence, small-pox and other skin dis
eases raged throughout the camp. -Here I.
may note that, owing to a general order from
the' government, to vaccinate the prisoners,
my opportunities were ample , to observe the
effects of spurious and diseased matter, and
there is no doubt in my mind but that syphi
lis was engrafted in many inf fences; ugly
and horrible ulcers and eruptions of a char
acteristic nature were, alas ! too frequent and
.obvious to be mistaken. Small-pox cases
were crowded in such a manner that it was a .
'matter of impossibility for the snrgeon to
treat his patient individually,- (they actually
laid so axyftcent that, &pA{Ugle movement qf
: one pi them would cause .pis. neighbor to’ cry'
out in the agony of paid. The confluent and
malignant type prevailed to such an extent
and of such a nature that the body would
frequently be found one continuous scab.
Toe diet and other aUowances by govern
ment for the use of the prisoners were ample,
yet the poor unfortunates were allowed to
starve ; but why, is a -query which: I wiH
allow your readers:to infer, and to draw con
clusions therefrom. Out of i the number of
prisoners, as before mentioned, over three
thousand of them - now lay buried in the ce
metery located near the camp for that pur
pose ; a mortality equal, if not greater, than
that of any prison' in the Sonth. At .Ander
sonville, as I am well informed by' brother
officers who endured confinement there, as
well as by the records at Washington, the
mortality was twelve thousand .out of say
about forty thousand prisoners. Hence it is
readily to be seen tnat the range of mortality
was no less at Elmira than at Andersonville.
At Andersonville there was actually nothing
to feed or clothe iheprisoners with; their own
soldiers faring hut little better than their
^prisoners; this, together with a torrid sun
and an impossibility of exchange, was abnn-
dant cause for their mortality. With our
prisoners at Elmira, no snch necessity should
honestly have existed,as our Government had
actually, as I have stated, most bountifully
made provision for the wants of oU detained,
both of officers and men. Soldiers, who have
been prisoners at Andersonville, and have
done duty at Elmira, confirm this statement,
and which is in no wise in oixe particular ex
aggerated; also, (be’same may be told of other '
prisons managed in a. similarly terrible man
ner. I allude to Sandusky, Fort Deleware,
and others; I do not say that all prisoners at
the North suffered and endured the terrors
and the cupidity of venal sub-officials; on
the contrary, at the camps iu the harbor of
New York, and at Point lookout-, and at
other camps where my official duties from
time to time have called me, the prisoners in I
all respects have fared as our Govemment in
tended ahd designated they should. Through
out Texas, where food and the necessaries of
life were plentiful, I found our own soldiers
faring well,’and to a certain extent contented,
so far, at least, as prisoners Of war could rea
sonably erpeot (o'he:
Our government allowed the prisoner of
war the foUowing rations (vide Regulations,t
pp. 224, Articles 1,190, 1,191); 12 oi!. of. pork
or bacon or 1 lb. of salt dr flesh beef; 1 lb.
6 ozofsoft bread of flour, or lib. of com
meal; and to every one hundred rations 15
lbs. of beans or peas and 10 lbs. of rice or
hominy, 10 lbs. of green coffee or 8 lbs. of.
roasted do., or 1 lb, 8 bz. of tea, 15 lbs of su
gar, 4 quarts of vinegar, 30 lbs. of potatoes,
and, if fresh potatoes conld not be obtained,
canned vegetables were allowed. Page 107,
Article .746, United Stateg Army Regulations
—Prisoners of war will receive for subsistence:
one ration each, without regard to rfAik, theta
each shall be treated with regard to his rank,
and the wounded are to be treated with the
same care qs (he wounded of our army. How
faithfully these regulations'were carried out
at Elmira, is shown by the following state
ment of facts: The sick in hospital were cun.
tailed in every respeot (flesh vegetables and
other anti-scorbutics were dropped from the
list), the food, scant, crude, and unfit; medi
cines so badly dispensed that it was a farce
for the medical men to prescribe. At large
in the camp the prisoner^ fared still worse;
a slice of bread and'Balt meat were given him
for hia breakfast, a poor, hatched , up, con
cocted cup of soup, so-caUed, and a slice of
miserable bread was aU he could obtain for
his evening meal, and hundreds of sick who
conld in no wise obtain medical aid died,
*‘Unknelled, nncofflned and unknown.” I
have in no wise drawn on imagination, and
the fects as stated can be attested by the staff
of medical officers who labored at the-Elmtaa
prison for the rebel soldiers.

Wonderful- F-reak of Nature^-A Girl,
with Two Heads.—One of Ihomost pecnliex
freaks of nature ever exhibited anywhere may
now be seen at Ames's Museum, on St. Charles
street .It is a young negress, about fourteen
years of age, with two distinct heads. Both
heads are perfect in form and feature, each
resting upon a separate neck, side and side,
feoing to the front The two feces are simi
lar in feature and expression, and what is
most wonderful is that there seems to be a
separate and distinct brain organism, for the
girl can hold conversation upon different sub
jects at one and the same time. She is very
bright and intelligent, reading and writing
with accuracy.
Two gentlemen were conversing with this
wonderful girl yesterday- at the same time,
when the one addressing the right head made
some ludicrous remark which threw that head
into a paroxysm of laughter, while the face
of the left .maintained an expression of the
utmost, seriousness.
While there is a dual formation of the head,
there is but one trunk, the girl eating ahd
drinking with both mouths alike.
A number of. our first physicians have visi-
ed this girl, and expressed wonder at her
peculiar organization.—W. O. Picayune. ■
