TRIAL OP JAMES W. DUNCAN,
MILITARY COMMISSION
For Alleged Cruelty to Federal Prisoiires
at Anderson ville.
[Reported for the News and Herald.]
The trial of J* oaeg W. Duncan, for alleged ill-treat
ment of prisoners in violation of the laws of war,
while in the commissary department at Anderson-
ville, was resumed yesterday morning, the desired
witnesses having arrived.
Upon tli* assembling of the Commission’ the ac
cused applied for a postponement of his trial on ac
count of the illness of one of his counsel, D. A.
O’Byrne, Esq.
The Court was cleared for deliberation and when
the Commission was again opened the decision was
announced by the Judge Advocate, that as one of the
l>riaoner’a counsel was present the excuse was not
sufficient to delay the session of the Commission.
The examination of witnesses for the prosecution
was then proceeded with.
J. H. Wright was called:
Am a planter and merchant. Reside in Wilkes
county, Ga.
1 recognize the prisoner. I was on duty as quarter
master of the garrison at the Andersonville prison;
was a Captain in the 55th Georgia Regiment from
Feb. 1854 to Feb. 18G5. Duncan was on duty there at
tliut time. His duty was to prepare the rations an d
issue them to the prisoners. He used to receive the
rations when they were issued from the Commissary
and nave them cooked and distributed to the prison
ers. The orders from the Commissary allowed the
prisoners 1 lbs. of meal aud y lb. of bacon at first;
subsequently 1 lb. of meal and lb. bacon or a pound
sometimes they received syrup and beef in
of beef
lieu of bacon.
Q. Have you seen the ration issued to the prison
ers ? If so, how did it compare in quantity with the
rations issued from the Commissary ?
A.—The ration as issued to the prisoners did not
look to me to be one half of what the order from the
chief commissary of the district ordered to'be issued
to them; I frequently saw the orders received by the
commissary of the district; I have seen the process
which the rations went through at the cook house;
the meat was boiled in syrup kettles; after being
boiled it was thrown upon an .inclined shelf; it ap
peared to be cooked very dry, and a great deal of
grease would be r drained from it ; there was a gutter
at the lower part of this shelf to catch the grease; a lot
of this grease was sent to the depot at Anderson ville
and there seized by a detective; I saw the grease at
the depot myself; there were about fifteen or twenty
barrels of it; an investigation was mado by the autho
rities at Andersonville with regard to the seizure of
this grease at the depot.
I have seen wagons hauling rice and peas from the
cook house to his hog-pen; lie had fifteen Or twenty
hogs of all sizes; I could not say they were all his;
Humes’ and his were there together.
I have seen him open the prisoners' boxes; when
the boxes arrived Capt. Wirz had them put in a room
in the commissary aud allowed no one in there but
Duncan and himself; I have been passing the door
and seen them opening the boxes; I don’t know of
Duncan’s taking the contents for his own use, except
his smoking cigars, which he said he got out of these
boxes; it was in the summer of 1804 that I saw the
rice aud peas going to the liog-pcns; I used to see the
wagons pass frequently; I was inside the stockade as
often as once a week; Duncan went in nearly every
day by permission of Capt. Wirz.
Cross-examined by the defence—There wa3 an
order issued to substitute beef aud syrup in
lieu of bacon, but whether it reduced the quantity
of the ration or not I do not know. I do
not know certainly that the whole ration issued by the
commissary was delivered to Duncan. It is my be
lief it was, but I did not see it weighed and delivered.
At the investigation concerning the grease, as I re
collect, both Duncan and Humes were implicated. I
never heard that Capt. Wirz had ordered the grease
to be extracted in order that it might not run into the
wells in the stockade. I was not present at the inves
tigation ; what I have testified concerning the inves
tigation is founded on what I heard only. I did not
know of my own knowledge that Duncan was impli
cated in the grease business. It was the common
talk among the officers that he was. I heard the most
of it from Capt. Wirz who was cursin,
damning the detectives.
1 should infer that the cook-house and bakery were
built by orders of Capt. Winder, who located and built
the stockade. 1 don’t remember who superintended
the building of the cook-house. I don’t know who
erected the shelf on which the meat was placed to cool.
I did not superintend the building of the second
cook-house. 1 superintended the extending of the
stockade only. I never examined the second cook
house. The peas aud beaus which 1 saw in the bar-
* els did not look to be the sweepiugs of the bar-
r aeks. I did suspect that the rice and peas carried
lo the hog pens in wagons werefrom rations of the
prisoners.
I did report these facts to Capt. Wirz; he told me to
“attend to mj'G—dd—d business;” I have seen

The La Crosse Republican has a cones-
pendent who was recently visiting at West
Bend, .Wisconsin, when he learned the an
nexed facts, which are substantiated by the
Hon. F. O. Thorpe, who resides at West
Bend:
“On Saturday, the 3d inst., at West Bend,
the Rev. Mr. Miller was called to go into the
country, a few miles from, town, to preach
the funeral sermon of Mrs. Lambert, who
was supposed to be dead. She was arrayed
in her funeral attire and placed in her coffin.
It appears that Mr. Miller was the owner of
a fractious horse that was sometimes un
manageable and would run away. He was
to pass through a timbered country, and on
account of snow drifts the road was almost
impassable, and from this fact the horse suc
ceeded in throwing the preacher from the
cutter, and was soon his own master.
From appearances, he was thrown with
great force upon a large oak stump that was
tilled with short knots. One of these knots
came in contact with and severed the jugular
vein. When he was found life was almost
extinct from the loss of blood. He was ta -
ken to the nearest house and medical aid
at once procured, but he lived only a short
time. The cutter was found some distance
from where the accident occurred, and the
horse detached from it. But the most singu
lar development of this sad mysterious affair,
is yet to be told.
Further information proves that Mrs- Lam
bert was not dead, but had been in a trance
for two days, presenting every indication
that life had departed. She is now improv
ing, and expected soon to recover. ‘ She
states that she could hear every word that
was spoken and realize the preparations her
friends were making for her funeral, but
could not make any resistance or move a
muscle of her body. Her grave had been
dug. She now lives, and the minister who
had been called to preach her funeral ser
mon, now lies buried in the same grave
made to receive her last remains.
IV GENERAL.
—The Meridian Messenger says that a Federal Major
engaged a freedman lately to hunt him laborors at two
dollars a head. He soon got him thirty-seven, but
seventeen of them proved to have run away from
other places, where they had made contracts under
the Bureau.
— A terrible story is going the rounds of the press
to the effect that Herr Lingel, whose feats in the lions
cage were exhibited a short time (ince in this city in
connection with Castello’s Circus, hss been tom to
pieces and literally eateu up by his wild beasts.
— The 29th of June. 1807, will be the eighteen-hun
dredth anniversary of St. Peter’s death. On that oc
casion the Pope is to convoke all the -bishope of Chris
tendom to Rome, where a grand jubilee will be cele
brated.

Sot a Singular Case by Any Means.
Tlie Charleston Courier says, a few
months since, there was wedded to a fair,
but alas! too confiding, daughter of a high
ly esteemed and respectable citizen of one
of our interior towns, a Northern man, who
claimed formerly to have been an officer in
the Federal army. The married life of the
happy pair appears to have glided along
smoothly and pleasantly until at an inaus
picious moment a third party steps upon the
stage, and immediately transforms quiet and
bliss to discontent and bitterness. The peri
fidious and brutal husband was confronted
by another wife, who, having heard of his
infamous conduct, had arrived from the North
to institute inquiries and satisfy herself as to
the truth or tklsity of the reports which
reached her. To her anguish and sorrow
she found that the statements were in
deed true. The affair has created quite a
feeling in the District, and how it will end
remains to be seen
— An exchange says that “in the absence of both
editors, the publisher had succeeded in securing the
services of a genttemau to edit the paper that week.
— Another severe shock of earthquake was felt in
California on the 28th. It was the most violent ex
perienced since that of October last; but little damage
resulted from it.
— “I am afraid, dear wife, that while I am gone, ab-
sence will conquer love.” ..“Never fear, dear, the longer
you stay away the better I shall like you.”
— The fisheries on the North Carolina sounds are
said to be in full operation, and there are excellent
prospects of an abundant supply of herring the coming
season.
— One-half of the volunteer force in Texas has de
serted. Oen. Custer, knowing that the trial for deser
tion was a farce, tried every humane way to save his
army from going to pieces, bat failed. He then tried
a new way; and flogged several men and shaved their
heads. This had the desired effect, but brought down
the friends of these soldiers upon him, who charge
him with being disloyal, inhnman, »„<i all that is bad
— Pennsylvania is the only State, thus far, which has
actually assumed the care of the children of her dead
soldiers, and 2,000 of these are now in school in the
State.
— Two children in Chicago have been poisoned bv
putting a card photograph in their mouths. Oue has

— Tho Egyptian Government has published an an
nouncement that Prince Ismail Bey has been made an
“infant,” and that none of his debts contracted with
out the written consent of his guardian, will be paid -
this infant is about 40 years old; 'twas he who last
summer lost $20,000 a day at cards, at the Imperial
Club, Paris.
Bloody Christians.—Pardon us, reader,
we should have said Heathens, even at the
risk of libelling the character of the “be
nighted.” We see by the papers that the
New York Conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church, at its recent session,
passed the following ;
Resolved, That inasmuch as treason is
declared to he the greatest crime known to
civil governments—and as upon the leaders
of this rebellion rests the blood of a million

strife or sectional prejudice—that expedien
cy, constitutional law, justice and the Bible,

And it shall be the duty of the Justices of
the Inferior Court in each county in this
State, within one month from the time they
are notified of the passage of this act, to
make out and -forward to the Governor, a
statement of the number in each class with
in their respective counties, who must suf
fer for bread unless they receive aid, and to
require each soldier’s widow, for herself
and her children, and each guardian or per
son in charge of an orphan of a deceased
soldier, and each person who was dependent
upon a deceased soldier for support, and
each soldier who is a cripple for life, and
each aged or infirm white person who claims
the benefit of this act, to make oath that
they have not the means of support, or of
getting bread enough to live upon without
aid, and that they are also unable, by
their own labor to obtain bread.—
And said court shall return none who fail
to take this cath, and shall allow none to
take it who, in their opinion, have the means
of procuring bread, or are by their labor able
to earn the same. And it shall he the duty
of the Governor to appoint a general pur

sufficient amount ol corn, from time to time,
(?) and it shall be the duty of the Justices of
the Inferior Court in each county to appoint
an agent or agents to aid in making out the
returns and to receive the corn from the gen

among tho suffering poor as aforesaid. But
the whole matter shall be under the super
vision of His Excellency the Governor, who
may, at any time, order the discharge of any
agent who is not, in his opinion, doing his
duty; and he may do all other acts and make
all rules and regulations necessary to furnish

Considerable excitement was caused at Al
exandria at the Fair being held at Stewart’s
Hall by the M. E. Church South, by the en
trance of a number of soldiers bearing with
them a large United States flag, which they
posted in a conspicuous place. They all
paid for their admission, and spent very
freely of their money while in the hall.—
Shortly after their entrance they requested
the removal of the portraits of the rebel Gen
erals Lee and JacksoD, which had been al
lowed by the managers to be put up in differ
ent parts of the hall- The portraits were
promptly removed by the managers, and af
ter the soldiers had obtained this, their
avowed object, they retired in an orderly
manner, taking with them the flags which
they brought.

Another
Elective Franchise Amend
ment.
In the Senate on Tuesday last Mr. Stewart
submitted a substitute for his joint resolution
which provides that no discrimination in
civil rights and liabilities, nor in the exercise
of the elective franchise, shall exist among
the population of the United States (Indians
not taxed excepted) on account of race or
color or previous condition of servitude. But
in case of restrictive qualifications by the
States, this provision shall not work disfran
chisement of any persons now entitled to
vote; that obligations and liabilities incurred
in aid of insurrection and rebellion and
claims for compensation on accouotof eman
cipation of slaves, are not valid and shall not
be assumed or paid by any State of the
Uuited States; that whenever any oue of the
eleven States whose inhabitants were lately
in insurrection, through its Legislature, hav -
ing been first authorised to do so by a major
ity of its present voting population, includ
ing all who would be qualified to vote under
the laws thereof as they existed in 1860, shall
have ratified the foregoing amendment of the
Constitution of the United States, and the
laws in conformity therewith; then audio
that case such State shall be recognized, and
its representatives admitted into Congress,
and a general amnesty shall exist in regard
to all persons in such State who were in any
way connected with armed opposition to the
United States Government, relieving them of
all paiDS, penalties and disabilities to which
they may have become liable by reason of

a largo influx of buyers from the South as
soon as the war was over and the Union res
tored. The war is over; but Congress per
sists in keeping the South out of the Union.
Consequently there is no Southern trade.
The Western merchants arrive here, look
about, see no business doing, no rivalry, no
competition, and conclude that they will wait
a while before purchasing “until things get
settled.” There is now no sale for the goods
produced by our manufactories. Presently
the manufactories will have to stop work.
Then we shall see thousands of people
thrown out of employment, starvation star
ing them in the face, their children crying
for food. Riots will follow, and perhaps a
revolution. Why is all this ? Not because
of the high price of gold, for gold is lower
than at any time during the war. Not be- PnnOTPQq Qnril'10’ WfltPP
cause of the tariff, for that has not been °P I IN 0
changed since the war. No ; it is because a
few dozen Radicals in Congress have made
up their minds to ruin the country or carry
the next Presidential election by negro votes
or by the exclusion of all votes from the
South. It is because another rebellion, more
wicked than the last, is tugging at the vitals
of the nation- It is because a few men at
Washington prefer their party to their coun
try. Let the people mark them well and re
member them in future.

empire water
Is & cathartic, and a valuable remedy for rheuma
tism, derangement of the liver, diseases of the skin,
and general debility. Its effects are most salutary iu
lung diseases. It is an almost sure cure for scrofula,
and the most aggravated forms of dyspepsia. As a
preventive and^ care lor all bilious derangements it
stands unrivalled.
COLUMBIAN WATER
Is a tonic and diuretic of*a highly beneficial char
acter, and is a positive remedy for diabetes*, gravel,
calculus, irritation and inflammation of the kidneys
and bladder, and has most singularly active effects
iu restoring these organs when debilitated by long
disease. Females who have suffered for years from
irregularity, «nd tho distressing diseases known only
to their scjc, have been entirely cured by the faithful
and judicious use of Columbian Water.
These waters Are bottled fresh and pare, from each
of the above named springs, in so careful and secure
a manner that they preserve ah their medicinal value
for years, aud will be found equally efficacious when
drank thousands of miles distant as when taken di
rectly from the spring.
Beware ol imitations and inferior Waters. The
