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 A Clergyman Killed Going to a Fane* ral—Tlie Corpse Returns to Life. 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.

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.

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.

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 of human beings—it is our calm and set tled conviction, uninfluenced by passion, strife or sectional prejudice—that expedien cy, constitutional law, justice and the Bible, all unite in demanding that at least some of the principal leaders of this rebellion be punished with death.

NATIIRO OWN REMEDIES. 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 Spring Water. Columbian Spring Water.
