as that on the passage from the prisons to the port from which they started. I cannot state the exact number, but I think I heard that 3,500 were started, and we only received about 3,027. --I have looked at the photographs appended to Report No. 67 of the committee of the Federal Congress, and do not hesitate to declare that several of our men were worse cases of emaciation and sickness than any represented in these photographs. The testimony of Mr. Dibrell is confirmed by that of Andrew Johnston, also a merchant of Richmond, and a member of the Ambulance Committee. Thus it appears that the sick and wounded Federal prisoners at Annapolis, whose condition has been made a subject of outcry and of wide-spread complaint by the Northern Congress, were not in a worse state than were the Confederate prisoners returned from Northern hospitals and prisons, of which the humanity and superior management are made subjects of special boasting by the United States Sanitary Commission!

r the courier, but, at the same time, refunding to General Pickett the $500 of Confederate money which he had advanced to the young officer. This is all of the story that rests upon any real foundation. General Pickett never received any letter from any gentleman in Boston, and never saw the young officer who was taken prisoner, so far as is known to any member of his staff. He did not give any mortgage on his Turkey Island property for the purpose of raising this money; and his interest in that property still belongs to his widow and his son. I am sure that you will gladly correct the mistakes into which you have been led in regard to this, seemingly, well authenticated incident, and which owe their origin, no doubt, to the affection and esteem with which the memory of General Pickett is cherished, and to the belief.that he would so have acted under the circumstances supposed. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Andrew Johnston. Richmond, Va., 23d May, 1876.

I have just told the folks here in Springfield, he said, on this, the 110th anniversary of the birth of him whose name, mightiest in the cause of civil liberty—still mightiest in t

s; large quantities of lubricating oils, besides minor supplies of various kinds for charitable institutions of the State. Not only was the supply of shoes, blankets, and clothing more than sufficient for the supply of the North Carolina troops, but large quantities were turned over to the Confederate Government for the troops of other States. In the winter succeeding the battle of Chickamauga I sent to General Longstreet's Corps 14,000 suits of clothing complete. At the surrender of General Johnston the State had on hand, ready-made and in cloth, 92,000 suits of uniforms, with great stores of blankets, leather, etc. To make good the warrant on which these purchases had been made abroad, the State purchased and had on hand in trust for the holders, 11,000 bales of cotton and 100,000 barrels of rosin. The cotton was partly destroyed before the war closed, and the remainder, amounting to several thousand bales, was captured, after peace was declared, by certain officers of the Federa

f you could sing that to us as we go on to battle, there is not a man who would not only cut his way-through the Yankees, but would eat them, too!" But, seriously speaking, it is the most inspiring thing imaginable to see the determined front presented by our men, one and all, and to witness the unquenchable hatred of the North, and the burning desire to avenge the wrongs of the South, which has become a fixed principle with them. We hear sometimes a sign, and see a tearful eye, as the thought of home and loved ones rises before them; but there is a manful putting aside of private griefs, and a steady resolve to do or die, which makes the sympathetic blood course in our veins and causes us to realize more than ever before what we women of Virginia owe to these men whose lives are imperilled in our defence, and in whom, next to God and our glorious commanders, Davis, Lee, Beauregard and Johnston, we trust to restore to us the homes from which we have been forced to fly.

d before the Mayor on Saturday, when sundry witnesses testified. No circumstance was brought to light tending to criminate him, though the examination was continued till Tuesday, in order to allow the production of two Commonwealth's witnesses whose evidence was deemed important. It indue to Mr. Craige who has been conducting business here in selling sewing machines for several years past, to say, that he proved a most unacceptionable character, both as a citizen and man of business. Andrew Johnston attorney at law; Wm. H. Benson, tailor; A. Bargamin, Jr., Dr. John P. Little, James D. Brown, Wm. Booth, N. C. Barton and others, testified in his behalf, and the first-named entered himself as surety ($500) for the appearance of Mr. C. at the next examination. It will sometimes happen that in the endeavor to ferret out and expose enemies of the South. (of whom there are too many in our midst,) cases of individual hardship and injustice (by reason of misdirected suspicion) will arise.
