W. Dunc&n was resumed yesterday, t ke examination of witnesses for the defence ; 'hi to a close. o. Smith wa9 called. . , machinist; reside at Columbus, Ga; born at Z--.ii:; V.I.; was a prisoner at Andersonville eleven V.1,3; arrived there the 11th of July, and was . i in tlio latter part of August, 1864; was on the : ...itch at the cook-house. It was my business to . ;i .l to aJl rations over night to see that nothing cook-house after issuing hours in‘the evening Uie next morning; neither Yankee nor Conied- idler was allowed to take anything from the . house; received very strict orders from Duncan. ... 1 first went to the cook-house there was no way railing the beans or peas as they called them, and . v re very dirty; there were 1U kettles, and each held from 2 to 2% bags of peas; there was a ..-u amount of shucks and worm-eaten and bad ;;uiong them; the shucks were skimined off the when boiling; sometimes a peck or peck and a : shucks and dirt together came from one bag ans. These shucks were of no use whatever; it cu-rally hauled to the woods and thrown away; kiy/.vji some of it to be taken to Duncan's house' v . Uie hogs; think that hogs would get fatter : re than these shucks. !,c.t was generally killed in the evening or at r ju account of the warm weather; it was hauled .\-u(>k>hou.se and then cut up by the butchers ’’.vr., d*'!ailed from the stockade; it was weighed " came into the cook-house and then boiled; when L , . u was placed on a kind of rack or table built lSlC cipre^s purpose of receiving the meat; if there ..y tu be boiled it was then placed in the beef- 2 .jil boiled; when there was no beef the rice was . j ui clear water. The pork or flitch we received : a vtry poor quality ; most of it was very mag- Mi'i ihiu, sometimes not more than hall an inch t.’jcinesss; a very small quantity of grease was ex- •Ci.iej, ocurcely enough for the use of the bakery; the •Via was very often baked in the pans without greas- V , n consequence. Some of the pork was such a V,- bad quauty that it could be boiled but a very time; if boiled too long it would fall to pieces. when done was taken from the iettie and V. vuou tfie rack to train; it was then barrelled and ju to the stockade in wagons. We received orders every day of the number of r.Q iijtide of the stockade to whom wc were to issue They were dying ofl at the rate of from 100 :. 14U per day. i^e order was sent to the commissary and the ::iaberof men that had died; their rations wers de- tcilfrom the rations at the commissary before uug to the cook-house. I referred to the new iC,'iise; know nothing of the old cook-house. Xuu the meat was brought to the stockade, the -r.jr, heads, heart and liver were sent into the stock- The tripe and heads were equally divided as am rations and were regular rations; the heads T?rc sent in with the hide on, and whoever it fell to ;et this hide made shoes of it. This was done by I: .Orman and Duncan. When the meat was placed -Ltueruck in the cook-house it was simply to cool it cidrain the water from it. All the rations received i'±tcock-house were sent in to the prisoners; Dun- ’.vis always careful of the rations, he gave us or- t j be careful and waste nothing as the prisoners it,? stockade needed it all.

At a special meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce, held on Thursday last, Mr. Opdyke, of the special committee, to whom was referred a petition and other papers, asking the Chamber to memorialize the President of the United States or Congress in favor of exacting from the States lately in rebellion, as a condition precedent to their restoration to the Union, the acknowledgment of their obligation to pay the principal and interest of their respective State in* debtedness incurred prior to the rebellion, made the following report: “That the voluntary action of those States since the suppression of the rebellion furnishes gratifying evi dence that no interposition on the part of the general government is Deeded to secure the results asked for by your petitioners. No one of the States lately in rebellion has shown any disposition to repudiate their liabilities incurred prior to the war. On the contrary, most of them have already re-acknowledged that liability, and many of them have also been engaged in deviamg ways and means for paying off the accumulated interest and providing for the future payment of interest and prin cipal. “Your committee are informed that the Stato of Georgia has already authorized the issue and sale of new bonds sufficient to liquidate their entire back interest, to the payment of which the proceeds of the new bonds are to be applied. “The Stato of Florida has gone further than this, in inserting in her new constitution, recently adopted, a provision that all the individual indebtedness of her citizens existing prior to the rebellion shall be held as valid, legal claims against them. Other of these States are taking sued measures for resuming the payment of interest on their bonds issued before the rebellion as their present limited means and impaired credit will permit. “Equally honorable sentiments have been man ifested by most of the citizens of those States which are indebted to the North for purchases made ante cedent to the war. Few, il any of them, have failed to acknowledge their obligations, or to provide for the future payment of such portion of them as their re duced assets will allow. “In view of these manifestations of honorable senti ments at the South, on the part of both States and individuals, it is believed by your oommittee that no action on the part of the General Government is called for.” The report was accepted and the committee dis charged. [From the Baltimore .Sun of the 21st.] Tfie Southern Relief Fair. The lady managers of the Southern Relief Fair have again commenced the sale of articles left over from tne late great exhibition. These articles, together with a number of valuable donations received since the close, are now neatly arranged on the first floor of the building on North Charles street, known as the Southern Relief Rooms, and the sale will be continued for some days. Last evening the apartment was well filled, and a number of the articles found purchaser?, whilst in another apartment some of the ladies were kept busily engaged in selling ice-cream, cake, &c. The present movement will doubtless be the means of increasing the general fund considerably. On Mon day evening, it will be recollected, the grand soiree takes place ac the Front street theatre. Mrs. Benjamin C. Howard, the president, and Miss Mary E. Frick, the treasurer of tue association, have published the fol lowing card of thanks: The officers and executive committee of the Ladies’ Southern Relief Association, having heretofore issued an appeal to the benevolent, feel it to be their pleas ing uuty now to communicate to their friends the re sult of the enterprise, far exceeding their most san guine expectations. Already largely over one hundred thousand dollars have been received; besides some other sums have yet to come in. They should do in justice to their feelings if they did not go on to ac knowledge the exuberant kindness which has sprung up all around them. In the first place, they wish to express their cordial thanks to the committee of gen tlemen who, with the spirit of the chivalry of olden time, hastened to the assistance of ladies who wanted help, and whose ardent and persevering care enabled the lady managers to achieve a brilliant success. In the next place, their thanks are due to the ladies who conducted the sale tables and other supplies, whose unwearied assiduity from morning till night and cheerful deportment contributed very largely to the success of the enterprise. In the next place tneir thanks are due to the gener ous donors, whether in our own State or elsewhere, who loaded these tables with articles of great intrinsic value and refined taste. In this category must be in cluded the many benefactors who contributed money, many of them from other States. The lady mana gers also gratefully acknowledge tho valuable assis tance of artisans of taste, and those who. furnished lumber; all of whom, gratuitously, fitted up all parts of the immense ball for the various purposes for which it was destined. Passing to the lunch-room, it is difficult to say enough in commendation of the ladies who conducted it, or the warm-hearted con tributors who furnished the tables with every luxury of the land or water. He must be a chur: indeed, who did not feel his heart warmed by tfie smiling countenances and ready fianda which sprang forward to minister to his wants. Passing from the hall, our attention is attracted by frum mouth to mouth through the , g re at liberality of the lines of railroads and stekm- ; i ’*- ami to the outside.

In this class must be included the handsome donation of five hundred dollars by the City Passenger Railway. The generosity of the charitable has not been confined to our States; but valuable contributions have come in from other States, from Missouri to Massachusetts, inclusive. From England, too, handsome sums have been re mitted through the influence of Mr. Jas. M.

The lady managers present their cordial thanks to the Masonic fraternity for their liberal permission to make use, gratuitously, of their rooms on Charles street. They are informed (and they believe correct ly) that benevolence to their fellow creatures is the comer stone of thi9 ancient and venerable institution; and it is in fine harmony with this noble sentiment that they have stepped forward to aid the present charity. • Before concluding, the lady managers wish to express their entire satisfaction with the conduct of the police and other persons employed about the building. Such was their gentlemanly deportment that it was only necessary to intimate to visitors the rules which had been adopted in order to ensure a cheerful sad prompt acquiescence in their observance. Not a disagreeable case occurred during the entire ex hibition. Finally, the lady managers wish to say that their thanks to their generous contributors are of lit tle account when compared with the sweet satisfaction which each one must feel when he reflects that suffer ing and starving women and children will utter a voice of thanks to their unknown friends; and it is not presumptuous to hope that these thanks will find their way to the great account which must be settled hereafter. The lady managers return their sincere thanks to Messrs. B. fc. Jennings, Dr. J. C. Leamy, J. C. Mc Daniel, Alexander Roinmell, J. L. Davis and A. 9.

It is frequently the case that those subjects to which we feel the nearost allied, give us the greatest pain when we come to express our thoughts to the world,. Poets have told us to * “Never breathe a dead one’s name When those who loved that one are nigh;” but when friendship prompts, poets, with their dreamy sayings, are to be lain aside. The humble writer of this sketch has seldom had a more painful task than the one now before him, and nothing but the dictates of the purest friendship could cause him to undertake it. But nearly allied.to tho subject of these lines by that holy tie I know well how to appreciate his cause, and my inability to do it justice. He was permitted to go through the trying scenes of the late war only to close his life as a sacrifice to remorseless Time. Y’es, in the happy hour ot youth was he called from treading its rosy path to the bod of disease, to sleep the eternal sleep of death. From a large circle of admiring friends has he been taken, and though his face has passed from our eyes, yet his image hangs as vivid in the halls of memory as when he blessed us with his presence—with a happy smile that ever played with such innocent gayety around his noble countenance. With a sigh can I recall the many happy hours epent with him, and I am painod to know that one so noble, so generous, so brave, could not have lived to be,' as nature intended, an ornament to society and the ad miration of his friends. But such are thy mysteries, O Heaven! so deep that the finite mind of man fails to comprehend them. Possessing the noblest traits of human nature— bravery, gratitude and charity—he could not fail to win the love of all who knew him. Brave in defend ing the cause he espoused, grateful for a favor or blessing, and ever charitable to the needy or depen- j dent, he has passed away as the noble and good, leaving his name as a monument to which men may look for an example. As a summer cloud that has dispensed its genial shower, driving out the scorching rays of the sun, and passed gently over, so his acts of kindness, distrib uted with such magnanimity of heart, will live to bless him when ages shall have passed and left no trace of their greatness save in the names of the gen erous and brave, in which list his will shine written in golden capitals, as “One of the few, the immortal names That were not born to die.” Drop me a tear on Balin's grave, and breathe a sigh to the memory of the noble dead! I will ever cherish his memory as a sweet dream that has haunted my slumbers, and passing softly away, has left its impression writtten indellibly on my heart. St. Bernard. Screven Co., Ga.

BUTTERFIELD, Prop’i t&~ Board $3 per day. ai-ffc On Friday last, forty-eight negroes, men and wo men, boys and girls, who nad been confined iu jail at Washington, D. O., awaiting to be tried for larceny, were released and sent to Louisiana under the tharge of an officer of the Freedman's Bureau. The U. S. District Attorney entered a nul. pros, in each of the cases, upon condition that the prisoners would go South; which condition was, of couse, gladly accepted. It is stated in the dispatch that some of these negroes were - natives, - ’ meaning, we presume, that they were natives of Washington; so Inat there can be no pretext these people were being sent back to their homes. We are not advised whether the District Attorney acted in this matter, upon his own responsibily, under the direction of his official superiors; nor is it material. We regard the act as an outrage upon the peojile of Louisiana,and we feel constrained to enter our protest against it. There is no warrant in the Constitution or iu any law of Congress for converting any one of the States into a penal colony iui the benefit of the others; and if there were, the burden of supporting these thieves and vagabonds ought not to be thrown upon tho South in the present impoverished condition. Emancipation has cursed her with several millions of paupers, who ouoo were laborers and producers. That is enough. Let the colored vagabonds and thieves of Washington be sent somewhere else, to New Eng land, to Kansas, but not to tbe already overburdened South.— .Veu) York News.

Trichina. We have published several communications ou this aubjeot irom medical men, indicating very olearly that the dread which had been excited Of mortal disease from eating pork, because of the hog being affected in the living flesh by a very minute species of worm, or trichina, was not justified to any considerable extent by the known facts in connection with the disorder. The truth seems to be, indeed, that all animals may have trichina, and yet live in apparent health, so in finitesimal is the little wire-worm, discernible only with the inicrosoope, whloh hides itself in the muecles of tbe flesh. The Chicago Academy oi Science has had the subject under elaborate consideration for a month past, and submitted a long report.' They de clare that trichina have been found in swine slaugh tered in that city, and that out of 1,821 examined, twenty-eight, or about oue in fifty, were infected. They unanimously declare that swine znsy be kept from contracting tbe disease if not allowed animal food, and that pork may be used without tbe slightest apprehension it the following conditions are complied with: That every portion- of the meat cooked ex perience a temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahren heit; or that it be properly salted and smoked for ten days; or that it be thoroughly desiccated. In fact, in old hams trichina is never found. Pickling, it ap pears, produces but a slight effect. It appears from the statements mads in this report that trichina exists in the swine of this country to a much greater extent than in Germany, the proportion in that country being only one in 10,000; and, fur ther, that the number of trichina in the infeoted hogs is also much greeter—being, In some of the cases ex amined, aa high aa 18,000 to the cubic inch. The committee do not think there has been a single in stance authentically reported in America of death from trichina; yet a panic has been produced in the mind of our public by the news which has reached ns from Germany concerning the disasters which have oooauousilT followed tbe consumption of pork in a raw slate. In thair view, it would be folly.to discard this kind of meat from our list of articles of food, whan all possibility of injury attending its u« may be avoided by the most simple means. Let the peo ple but understand that only one hog in three hun dred contains trichina in sufficient numbers to cause considerable danger, and that even in these cases the worm* are rendered innocuous by proper smoking, drying or cooking—and we imagine that few sensible persons will refuse pork as food, if it suits their con venience to use it.—Baltimore Bun. —If the latest advices from Utah are authentic, Brig ham Young, taking a hint from Messrs. - Sumner and Stevens, is about to expel the unregenerate heathen from the Mormon Paradise.

The funeral of John Bills, Jr., who had been a Confederate soldier, was to be preached by the Bev. R. M. Hickey, of the Hols ton conference. Two men by the name of Walters—perhaps brothers—manifested a disposition to disturb the quiet of the assembly. Eldridge Hord, Eeq., of that community, remonstrated against their conduct Some angry words ensued, and Walters shot Hord, wounding him severely in the thigh, whereupon Samuel Smith, who had been a Confeder ate soldier, fired twioe upon Walters, killing him on the spot. The other Walters then shot Smith,wound ing him slightly. Smith returned the fire, wounding the second Waiters mortally, and then made his escape. The Work of Regulation.—The work of making appointments which began at the New York Custom House, is still progressing. The appointees, too, are all of the true "Johnson reconstruction policy stripe.” On the 17th tho President sent to the Senate the name ofWm. P. Johnson, to be Collector of Internal Reve nue for the Alleghany District, Pa., in the place of D. N. White, removed. Andrew L. RobinBon hsa also been appointed Post Master at Allegheny city, in place of 8. Biddle, removed. It is also stated that the Assessor of Internal Revenue in the same distriot will shortly have to yield to some one equally well quali fied. but who favors the "white man's" government The New York Tribune’s Washington special says the country is indebted to Senator Cowan for these Penn sylvania removals. If it is trne, the country thank him for it.—Columbus Sun. Genebal Cass.—The editor of the Lacrosse (Wis consin; Democrat, who is now in Detroit, writes as follows: "General Cass is still alive, though his family have gathered here In daily expectation of his decease. The General is now in his eighty-fourth year. He passes most of his time in sleep, undisturbed. At rare intervals be wakens op sufficiently to aak for some of his old friends, who are sent for, but on arriving, even within the hour, he is generally saleep again. His disease is softening of the brain, from years of mental labor in tbe service of his country. He has all the care, attention and nursing it fe possible to give. His family look upon him with the greatest reverence and affection, and pray that his last da; on earth may be far distant. At times he is able to converse quite freely and rationally with his family, but this is the exception, not the nife." NOTICE. The citizens of Savannah are earnestly reqncsted to co-operate with the authorities in remedying the evils arising from emptying slop water and throw ing substances that arc liable to putrefaction iu the lanes of the city. Servants should be enjoined to spread the water over as large a surface as possible, never emptying more than an ordinary sized bucket- full on one spot. All animal substances must be confined to the refuse barret, as well as the sweep ings of the yard, ashes, cinders, Ac. The lanes of the city are being put in complete order, aud the throwing out of everything lending to alter the grade Is strictly prohibited. Attention is also called lo the ordinanoe forbid ding the driving through the lanes, by which they are made uneven, and the water- thrown out from the yards formed into unsightly and injurious mud- holes. The labor of keeping the city clean would be much lessened if the citizens would have so much of the lane Immediately adjoining their premises properly raked, ahd the collections placed in tbe refuse barrel.
