THE BIRDS.
One day, in the bluest of summer weather,
Sketching under a whispering oak,
I heard five bobolinks laughing together
Over some ornithological joke.
What the fun was, I couldn’t discover—
Language of birds is a riddle on earth :
What could they find iu white weed and clover
To split their sides with such musical mirth ?
Was it some prank of the prodigal summer—
Face in the cloud or voice in the breeze—
Querulous cat-birds—woodpecker drummer—
Cawing of crows high over the trees ?
Was it some chip munk’s chatter—or weasel
Under the stone wall stealthy and sly ?
Or was the joke about me at my easel,
Trying to catch the tints of the sky V
Still they flew tipsily, shaking all over,
Hubi)iug with jollity, brimful of glee—
While I sat listening deep in the clover
Wondering what their jargon could be.
’Twas but the voice of a morning the brightest
That ever dawned over yon shadowy hills;
’Twas but the song of all joy that is lightest—
Sunshine breaking in laughter and trills.
Vain to conjecture the words they are singing,
Only by tones can we follow the tone;
In the full heart of the summer fields ringing—
Ringing the rhythmical gladness of June !

THE ASSASSINATION PLOT—SPANGLER
DECLARES HIS INNOCENCE HIS ARREST
AND TRIAL —CONFINEMENT AT THE
CAPITOL PRISON —LIFE AT THE DRY

Washington Correspondent of the N. Y. World.
Washington, June 23.
Edman Spangler, who was tried and
sentenced by a military commission in
-May, 1865, on a charge of being en
gaged in a plot to assassinate President
Lincoln, and pardoned by President
Johnson, has prepared the following
statement, asserting his innocence of
all knowledge of the crime, and detail
ing the cruelties practiced on the pris
oners before and after conviction. Span
gler was a scene-shifter at Ford’s Thea
tre, and was on the stage when John
Wilkes Booth shot Mr. Lincoln and
jumped from the box. He also at times
took care of Booth’s horse. The evi
dence against him was of the flimsiest
character, not being even circumstan
tial, for it did not appear in that trial,
or in the subsequent civil trial of Sur
ratt, that Spangler had any connection
whatever with any of the other so-called
conspirators. Most everybody believed
him innocent then, and the Military
Commission doubted his guilt by sen
tencing him to six years at the Dry
Tortugas, and giving the others a life
term. The Military Commission was
organized to convict, and it convicted.
Abundant testimony is now at hand to
show the vast amount of perjury of that
trial—perjury exacted by fear and dic
tated by malice. Spangler’s allusion
to the witness Weichman being in the
abduction plot is important. Welch
man’s testimony, it will be remember
ed, hung Mrs. Surratt. The following
is the statement sworn and subscribed
to :
STATEMENT OF EDMAN SPANGLER.
I have deemed it due to truth to prepare
for publication the following statement, at
a time when I hope the temper of the
people will give me a patient hearing of
my arrest, trial, and imprisonment ior al
leged complicity in the plot to assassinate
President Lincoln. I havesuffered much,
but I solemnly assert now, as I always
have since I was arraigned for trial at the
Washington Arsenal, that I am entirely
innocent of any fore or after knowledge
of the crime which John Wilkes Booth
committed save what I knew in common
with everybody after it took place; and I
further solemnly assert that John Wilkes
Booth nor any other person never men
tioned to me any plot nor any intimation
of any plot for the abduction or assassi
nation of President Lincoln; that I did
not know when Booth leaped down to the
stage from the box at the theater that he
shot Mr. Lincoln; and that I did not iu
any way, so help ms God, assist in his es
cape ; and further declare that I am en
tirely innocent of any and all charges
made against me in that connection. I
never knew either Payne, Surratt, Atze
rot, Arnold or Harroid or any of the so
called conspirators, nor did I ever see any
of them until they appeared iu custody.
While imprisoned with Atzerot, Payne
and Harold, and after the trial was over I
was allowed a few minutes’ exercise in
the prison yard. I heard the three unite
in assertiug Mrs. Surratt’s entire inno
cence and acknowledge their own guilt,
confining their crime as they did entirely
to themselves, but implicating the wit
ness Weichman in the knowledge of the
original plot to abduct, and with furnish
ing information from the office of the
Commissary General of prisoners, where
he was a clerk.
I was arrested on the morning of the
15th of April, 1865, and, with Ritter
spaugh. (also a scene shifter) taken to
the police station on E street, between
Ninth and Tenth. The Sergeant, after
questioning me closely, went with two
policemen to search for Peanut John,
(the name of the boy who hold Booth’s
horse the night before,) and made to
accompany us to the headquarters of
the police on Tenth street, where John
and 1 were locked up, and Ritterspaugh
was released. After four hours’ con
finement I was released and brought
before Judges Olin and Bingham, and
told them of Booth bringing his horse
to the theatre on the afternoon of the
14th of April, (1865.) After this inves
tigation I said : “ What is to be done
with me ?” and they replied : “We
know where to find you when you are
wanted, and ordered my release. I
returned to the theatro, where I re
mained until Saturday, when the sol
diers took possession of it; but as the
officer of the guard gave an attache and
myself a pass to sleep there, we retired
at 10. p. m., and at 1 a. m. a guard
was placed over me, w r ho remained un
til 9 A. M. Sunday morning, when I
was released. I did not leave the the
atre until Sunday evening, and on our
return, this attaolio (OftrJand by name}
and myself were arrested by detective
Larner. Instead of taking us to the
guard-house, he said he would accom
pany us homo to sleep there, but we all
went to police headquarters on Tenth
street, and when Carland asked if we
were wanted, an officer sharply said
No.” I returned to the theatre that
night, and remained the next day till I
went to dinner, corner Seventh and G
streets. That over, I remained a few
moments, when Ritterspaugh (who
worked at the theatre with me) came,
and meeting me, said : “ I have given
my evidence, and would now like to get
some of the reward.”
I walked out with Ritterspaugh for
half an hour, and on returning to lie
down left word that if any one called
for me to tell them that I was lying
down. Two hours after I was called
down stairs to see two gentlemen who
had called for me. They said that I
was wanted down street. On reaching
the sidewalk they placed me in a hack
aud drove rapidly to Carroll Prison,
where 1 waß confined a week. Three
days afterwards, detective or Colonel
Baker came to my room, and question
ed me about the sale of a horse and
buggy (which belonged to Booth) and
I told him all about it freely and read
ily. On the day following I was called
into the office of the prison in order to
be recognized by Sergeant Dye, who
merely nodded his head as I entered
and then he left. (Dye subsequently
testified that he was sitting on the
steps of the theatro just before Booth
fired the shot, and to seeing mysterious
persons about.) I was allowed on the
fourth day of my imprisonment to walk
the prison yard, but from that evening
I was closely confined and guarded un
til tb« k next Saturday at midnight,when
I was again taken to the office to see a
detective, who said: “ Come, Spangler,
I’ve some jewelry for you.” lie hand -
cuffed me with my arms behind my
back, and guarding me to a hack, I was
placed in it and driven to the Navy
Yard, where my legs were manacled
and a pair of Lillie handcuffs placed on
my wrists. I was put in a boat and
rowed to a monitor, where I was taken
on board and thrown into a small, dirty
room, between two water-closets, and
on to a bed of filthy life preservers and
blankets, with two soldiers guarding
the door. I was kept there for three
days. I had been thus confined three
days on the vessel when Captain Mon
roe came to me and said: “ Spangler,
I’ve something that must be told, but
you must not be freightened. We have
orders from the Secretary of War, who
must be obeyed, to put a bag on your
head.” Then two men camo and tied
up my head so securely that I could
not see daylight. I had plenty of food,
but could not eat with my face so
muffled up. True, there was a small
hole in the bag near my mouth, but 1
could not reach that, as my hands were
wedged down by the iron. At last,two
kind-hearted soldiers took compassion
on me, and while one watched the other
fed me On Saturday night a man
came to me, and after drawing the bag
so tight as to nearly suffocate me, said
to the guard, “ Don’t let him go to
sleep, as we will carry him out to hang
him directly.” I heard them go up on
the deck, when there was a great rat
tling of chains and other noises; and
while I was trying to imagine what was
going on, and what they intended to
do, I was dragged out by two men,who
both pulled me at times in opposite di
rections. We, however, reached a boat,
in which I was placed, and were rowed
a short distance. I could not say then
where we stopped, for my face was
still covered. After leaving the boat,
I was forced to Avalk some distance,
with the heavy irons still on my legs.
I was then suddenly stopped and made
to ascend three or four flights of stairs;
and as I stood at the top waiting, some
one struck me a severe blow on the top
of the head, which stunned me and half
threw me over, when I was pushed
into a small room, where I remained
in an unconcious condition for several
hours. The next morning someone
came with bread and coffee. I remained
here several days,suffering torture from
the bag, or padded hood, over my face.
It was on Sunday when it was removed
and I was shaven. It was then re
placed. Some hours after General Ilar
tranft came, and read to me several
charges; that I was engaged in a plot
to assassinate the President, and the
day following I was carried into a mil
itary court and still hooded before all
of its members. I remained but ashort
time, when I was again returned tomy
cell for another night and day,and then
again presented in this court. Mr.
Bingham, Assistant Judge Advocate,
read the charges against me, and asked
if I had any objection to the court, and
I replied, “ No,” and made my plea of
“Not guilty." They then wished to
know if I desirod counsel, and, when I
answered affirmatively,General Hunter,
the President of the court, insisted that
I should not be allowed counsel. He
was, however, overruled, but it was
several days before I was permitted
legal aid, the court in the meantime
taking evidence with closed doors. On
every adjournment of the court, if only
for an hour, I was roturned to my cell
and the closely-fitting hood placed over
my head. This continued until June
10th, 1865, when I was relieved from
the torture of the bag, but my bauds
and limbs remained heavily manacled.
On one Sunday, while I was confined
at this place (the Washington Arsenal,)
I was visited by a gentleman of middle
stature, rather stout, with full beard
and gold-framed spectacles. He noticed
my manacles and padded head. I af
terwards learned that he was Mr.
Stanton, the Secretary of War. It is
proper to state that when the hood was
placed on me, Captain Monroe said it
was by order of the Secretary of War.
My first thought was that I was to be
hung without trial, and the hood was
preparatory to that act.
The first time I ever saw Mrs. Sur
ratt was in the Carroll Prison yard, on
Capitol Hill. 1 did not see her again
until we wore into Court the first
day at the arsenal. My cell was on the
same corridor with hers, and I had to
pass it every time I was taken into
Court. I frequently looked into her
cell, a small room about four feet wide
by seven feet long. The only things in
her cell were an old mattress laid on
the bricks, and an army blanket. I
could see the irons on her feet, as she
was generally lying on the mattress,
and was the last one brought into Court.
She occupied a seat in Court near the
prison door. The seat was twelve
inches high, and the chains between
the irons on her feet were so short that
she always had to be assisted to her
seat. She was so sick at one time that
the Court was compelled to adjourn.
On the 17th of July, about midnight,
I was conveyed to a steamboat, and ar
rived the next day at Fortress Monroe,
and was thence taken to the gunboat
Florida. The irons on my arms were
temporarily removed, but Captain Dut
ton, in charge of the guard, ordered
heavy Lillie irons to be placed on me,
when Gen. Dodd, chief officer in charge,
more humanely countermanded his
order and had the irons again removed
from my arms. I was placed for secu
rity in the lower hold of the vessel, and
compelled to descend to it by a ladder.
The rounds were far apart, and, as the
irons on my feet were chained but a
few inches apart, my legs were bruised
and lacerated fearfully. The hold where
I was confined was close and dirty, hut
after two or three days I was allowed
on deck in the daytime, but was close
ly guarded. 1 was allowed to speak to
no one of the crew. We arrived at
Fort Jefferson, on the Dry Tortugas,
and were handed over to Col. Hamilton
commanding, who placed me until the
next day in a casemate. The next day
I was brought before Col. Hamilton
who informed me that he had no more
stringent orders concerning me than
other prisoners confined there.
I managed to get along comfortably
for a while, though to some of the pris
oners the officers were very cruel. One
man by the name of Dunn, while help
ing in unloading a government trans
port, got hold of some liquor and im
bibed too freely, for which he was taken
to the guard house and tied up to the
window frames by his thumbs for two
hours. General Hill then ordered him
to be taken down and be made to carry
a thirty-two pound ball, hut as the
hanging had deprived him of the use
of Mb thumbs, he was unable to obey.
The officers, however, put two twenty
four pound balls in a knapsack and
compelled him to carry them until the
sack gave way from the weight of the
iron. He was then tied up by the
wrists and gagged in the mouth by the
bayo net from 8 v. M. till the next
morning. He was then taken down
and thrown into the guard houso, but
was so exhausted that he had to be re
moved to the hospital. It was decided
to amputate three of his fingers, but
this was reconsidered. He lost, how
ever, the use of his thumb and two
fingers. This punishment was inflicted
by Major McConnell, officer of the day,
and was carried out by Sergeant Ed
ward Donnelly.
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
Another poor prisoner,named Brown,
was once excused by the doctor from
work on the plea of illness, but the
Provost Marshal insisted, and finding
him too ill and lacking strength, made
him carry a thirty-two pound ball. He
staggered under the weight and was
compelled from weakness to put it down.
He was then taken to the. wharf, and
with his legs tied together and his
hands tied behind him, a rope was placed
around him and he was thrown into
the water and then dragged out. This
was done three or four times, he beg
ging for mercy most pitiously. lie
was finally jerked out of the water and
ordered to return to his ordinary work.
The poor wretch crept off apparently
thankful for any escape from such tor
ments. Captain Joseph Eittenhouse
was officer of the day, and his orders
were carried out by Corporal Spear.
During the latter part of last Octo
ber I was placed in irons and compelled
to work, with an armed sentinel
me. 1 did not know the reason for this,
for I was unconcious of having given
offence, and had conformed to every
regulation. I was then closely con
fined and allowed to communicate with
no one for four months. The pretence
for this, I afterward learned, sprang
from an attempt of Dr. Mudd to escape.
Col. St. George Grenfel, aged 65 years,
was taken sick and went to the doctor
to get excused from work. The doctor
declined to excuse him. Ho then ap
plied to the Provost Marshal, who said
that he could not excuse him if the
doctor couldn’t. Grenfel then tried to
work and failed. They then took him
to the guard house, tied him up for half
a day, and then took him to the wharf,
tied his bauds behind him, tied his legs
together, and put a rope around his
waist. There were three officers, heav
ily armed, who drove spectators from
the wharf; I could see and hear from
my window. The Col. asked them if
they were going to throw him into the
water, and they answered, “Yes.” He
then jumped in, and because he could
not sink, they drew him out and tied
about forty pounds of iron to his legs,
and threw him into the water again,
and after he had sunk twice they pulled
him out again, and then compelled him
to go to work. The officers who had
him in hand were Lioutenant Robinson,
Lieutenant Pike and Captain Geo. W.
Crabb, assisted by Sergeant Michael
Gleason and Assistant Military Store
keeper G. T. Jackson, who tied the iron
on his legs Capt. Samuel Peebles tied
up Grenfel for saying that “he was ca
pable of doing anything.” Col. Gren
fel was forced to scrub and do other
menial work, when ho proved he was
so ill as to have refused to eat his rations
for a week. All of the officers hated
Grenfel, on account of a letter which
appeared in a New York paper,
which they said Grenfel wrote, about
tying up the prisoner Dunn—which
letter was truthful, as others and my
self were witnesses to the details it re
lated. One very stormy night, Grenfel,
with four others, escaped in a small
boat, and was evidently drowned near
the fort. His escape was discovered,
but the storm was so severe that it was
deemed too dangerous to pursue them,
although a steamer was at the wharf.
Grenfel frequently declared his inten
tion of running any risk to escape,rather
than, to use his own words, “to be tor
tured to death at the fort.” These are
only two or three instances of the many
acts of cruelty practiced at the fort.
During my imprisonment at Fort Jef
ferson I worked very hard at carpen
tering and wood ornamental work,
making a great many fancy boxes, etc.,
out of the peculiar wood found on the
adjacent islands; the greater portion of
this work was made for officers. By
my industry in that direction, I won
some lavor in their eyes. 1 was released
in March of the present year by Ex
ecutive clemency.

-Iyer’s Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, designed to be the most
effectual Alterative that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
so combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a
remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaint*, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints;
8c no re la and Scrofulous Complaints,
Eruptions amp Eruptive Disp.ases, Ulcers,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scalp Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralcia or Tic Docloukeux, Debilitt, Dys
pepsia and Inpioestion, Erysifelas, Rose
OR Sr. Anthony's Fire, ami indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity o»
the Blood _
This compound will be found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel ?the foul humors which fester in the
blood at tliat season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions *nd ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no'
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends.' But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue tliat is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public nave been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extraots of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by tbe ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

Tbe proprietor of ibis celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all other remedies ever

permanent cure of Ague aod Fever, or Chills and

to tbe eutire Western and Southwestern country to

are strictly followed and earri ed out. In a great „ any

BULL'S WORM DESTROYER
To My United Staten and World - Wide Readers:
1 have received many testimonials from professions
and medical men, as my almanacs and rations publi
cations have shown, ail of which are genuine. Tbe
following letter fiom a highly educated and popular
physic,an in Georgia, is certainly one of the most
sensible communications I have ever received. Dr.
Clement knows exactly wbat he speaks of, and bis
testimony deserves lo be written in letters of gold.
Hear what the Doctor says of Bull’s Worm Destroyer.
Vixxasow, W.lxib Cos., Ga., June 29, ’
l)r. John Bull—Dear Sir—l have recently given
yoci Vk oriii Destroyer several trials, and find it won
derfully efficacious. It has not felled in s single
instance to have the wished for effect. I am doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use for
some article of the kind. I am free to confess thst I
know ol no remedy recommended by tbe ablest
aulhors that is so ceitain and speedy in its effects. On
ihe contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing you is to find out upon what terms 1
can get ihe medicine directly from yon. If I can get
it upon ease terms, 1 shall use a great deal of it. I
am aware that the use oi such articles is contrary to
the teachings and practice of a great majority of tbe
regular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be
efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its
combination. For my part I shall make it a rule to
use all and any means lo alleviate suflering humanity
which I may be able to command; not hesitating
because someone more ingenious than myself may
have learned its effect* first,and secured the sole ngbl
to secuie that knowledge. However, I am by no ’
means an advocate or supporter of the thousanasof
worthless nostrums that flood the country, that :ur
port to core all manner of distase to which human
flesh is heir. Please reply soon, aod inform me of
your best terms. I am, sir, most respectfully,

LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER
Bestom Babhacxs, Mo., April >O, Ism.
Dr John Bull—Dear Sir —Knowing the efficiently
of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following statel
meat of my case.
I was wounded about two years ago; was taken
prisoner and confined for 16 months. Being moved
so olten, my wounds have not healed yet 1 bare not
set up a moment since I was wounded. I am shot
through the hips. M v general health is impaired, and
1 need something to assist nature. I have more faith
in your Sarsaparilla than in anything else. 1 wish
that that is genuine. Please express me half a dozen
bottles, and oblige Capt. C. P. JOHNSON,
St. Louis, Mo.
P. S —The following was written April go, 1865
by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt. Johnson.
Dr Bull—Dear Sir—My husband, Dr. C. S. John
son, was a skitliul surgeon and physieian in Centra
New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P
Johnson to my care. At 13 years of age he bad a
chronic diarrhea and scrofult, for which I gave him
your Sarsaparilla, it cured him. I have for ten years
recommended it to many in New York, Ohio and
Powa, for scrolnia, fever sores and general debility
perfect success has attended it. The cures effected
n some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost
miraculous. lam very anxious for my son to again
have recourse to your Sarsaparilla, tie is
getting a spurious article, hence his writing to yi ;
tor it. 11 is wounds were terrible, but I believe he will
recover. Respectfully,
