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. From Washington.

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 c\dhmgffromany siiohjfierr6^Yse, af U has. loved mt love William H- Seward, Now, like Clay then, he stands stiU; the grand column moves onward, 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.
