From the Ilartford Times. Miserable Screamer.

Am "Beautiful Dreamer." Miserable screamer over the way, "Bullfrogs and tomcats arc echoing thy lav; Sounds like thine own each momine we hear. Just as the map with the charcoal draws near. Miserable screamer, Tnnrd'ress of son?. List while I be thee to cease thy wild screams; Gone are my fears of tleein;r too'lonpt Miserable screanier yon've ruined my dreams! Miserable Ecrcamer you're ruined my dreams. Miserable streamer, out on the sen. Many a porpoise is sighing for thee ; O'er the blue waves thi steamers are borne, Oh, do buy a ticket and start in the morn! Miserable screamer, etadden my heart Cease that "queer1' song thnt disturbs nly pcAce ; If from that window yon do not depart. Miserable screamer, I'll call the police ! Miserable ecrcamer, I'll call the police ! Chicago Correspondence. Chicago, July 23, 18G7 Editors Democrat : The dens of tlic artists in Crosby's big Opera House arc. in this bot, dull season almost deserted. A few of the painters and paintrcsscs still cliDg to labor from a mere force of habit, but the majority are off rcveliDg iu the enjoyment of nature far Up in Minnesota, or down east to the White, the Allcgbany and the Catskill Mountains. One of those who remain is Gookins who labored so hard at his great fairy picture in the early part of the season, that he became ill, and has now but just returned to his easel after a long sojouru in the country. He is one of the most careful and painstaking class of artists, never seeming to deem his picture complete so long as he is able to get a dab at it. In the piece on which he now works "Court day in Elflaud" there are two hundred figures of creatures of the imagination fairies, ghouls, gnomes, biushecs, trolls, leprcchairas and afrites, and Heaven knows what else. Well, one day Gookins puts in a few of these little figures, in most excellent fancy and beauty of delineatiou, aud the next day he paints them all out and puts others still more beautiful and fantastic in thcif stead. His inrcntivc genius is truly wonderful, and is temper cd by a delicate poetic taste and a true artist's love for the beautiful. There can be no doubt of his attaining a very high rank among the greatest of American artists. None in this country dare to attempt to compete with him ir his peculiar line. 13 ut at the ratio at which he paints now, his works will be comparatively few. It docs scon as if this one great work, his master piece were going to be half an inch thick with paint before he can be persuaded that it is done. P. F. Reed is as yetariothsrof tlicstny at-homes.

The severe accident which liclcaP uPon a raniro(1 was to liavc Jt instant

suffered while out sketching last season, still leaves its painful traces, and he remains quietly in his studio to work a little on landscapes, iu which the cool, green shady trees, moss-covered rocks and foam ing brooks, tell of careful studies from naim iu days rone bv, and arc so true that ri riit ii one feels rclrcshcd by gazing on them. Reed is a very fine landscape painter, and not only that, he is a puct. too, and is working at prcscut a great deal more on a book of poems which he designs publishing, than he is ou his pictures. Ilcaly is away, but his portrait mill still cocs on. Adhere portraits can be made to bring such prices, in gold, ?s Mr. Hcaly demands and obtains, it i3 well to keep the business going, the golden sands flowing. Mrs. La Mont, a woman oi fine artistic talent, especially skilled in the treatment of fruit and flowers, and evidently capable of much greater works than any sihe has yet achieved, works steadily on in the treadmill routine of portrait painting, the only branch of art which it seems can be made to pay here. Just here I inajT say a word or two of protest against the indifferent encouragement and support given to the artists in the west. Several of tho best whom we had here have positevcly had to go to the cast to cam a living; not but what our rich people buy pictures, but instead of aiding merit at home by buying from our own artists who arc laboring earnestly for fame, they purchase inferior works in the Kast, copies and pieces bearing forged signatures which unscrupulous dealers do not hesitate to vaunt and puff to such an extent a3 to take in the ignorant aud unwary. Happily, their want of generous spirit bears with it its own punishment for the swindle perpetrated on them must sooner or later be discovered. There are some magnificent pictures now in the Crosby Art Gallery, and altogether such a display of really fine works of art as has never been excelled in this city. Under the admirable management of 31 r. Aitkcn the gallery has now acquired a character and reputation which it never had before, but the weather is too hot to go to it. It is away at the top of that big building, and that is equal to several miles of level walking, when the thermometer is or seems to be away up in the hundreds. 5ut here I just notice that 1 have been running, quite uninteutioually, almost Ihc wholo of my letter into a rambling sketch of artists and their works. Well, it will have to go now. I did intend to tell you that we had an elopement sensation the other day a real run-away match in high life, too. the parties being Miss Haines (daughter of Johu C. Haines, ex-Mayor of Chicago,) and a Mr. JJeardsley, (silcsman with liotsford & Co., hardwarcist .) I also intended to mention that our smallpox scare is over, only two deaths having occurred from that cause during the week. Furthermore, I intended to remark that, by a new contract the Washington street tunnel is to be completed by Novembci, 18l8, at a cost of something less than 400,000. Likewise, I purposed stating that the JIUtck Crook is still crowding McVicker's; that even the bad taste ol an Ethiopian minstrel hurlesquc on it at Wood' fails io draw there. All these, and possibly more things, I might have said, but for my screed about pictures. C. '

Treatment of Southern Prison

ers In Xortliern I'risoia. The refusal of the radical Congress to make any inquiry into the treatment of southern prisoners of war in northern prisons, while proposing a searching in vcstijratiou into the treatment cf Federal soldiers in the south, elicits, by its fla grant injustice and partiality, much criti cism and comment. The Memphis Ap ca( in noticing it, says : "There are hundreds, if not thousands of credible men in the south, who can prove that 'the piisoncrs of the United Mates' were treated, in some prisons, with the most infamous and savage cruelty. They were plundered of their wearing apparrel, were shamefully exposed to the intense winter cold without blanket, were fed somewhat as farmers feed their 1 ogs, on food not fit for human creatures to cat, were murdered wantonly by the soldiery that guarded them, were insulted, outraged, cruelly punished, be:iten, and forced to submit to every possible degradation and humiliation. We have heard the re citals of ali this from the lips of those who had been prisoners and had seen, and some of them felt these cruelties. 'Responsible charge' enough can be furnished; but no one will feel inclined, we fancy, to make them before a committee of the House of ltcprescntativcs." The New York Tribune thus censures the action of its friends in Congress. It says : "There is not a sympathizer with Hhc 'lost cause' on earth who will not triumphantly read and cite it as evidence that the Republicans dare not make a full and fair investigation of the treatment of prisoners by each party in our late civil war not even before a committee of their own choosing and the impartial world will be likely to aree with them. Suppose an European historian, writing the history of our own struggle, with the Confederate report aforesaid before him, and only Gen. Washburne's preamble and resolve to weigh against it, can there be any doubt as to his conclusion V 32 a sonic Devotion vs. rani's lull u inanity. From the I'iehmond (Va.) Southern Opinion. An incident of the war is related by an eye-witness, which strikingly illustrates the fraternal feeling that exists among Masons under nil circumstances. At the second battle of Cold Harbor, Grant, after his bloody repulse, in pursuanco of the! brutal and inhuman system which he had adopted, declined to ask a truce to bltry his dead and care for his wounded, .and left the latter ic all the agony of pain and thirst, beneath a broiling sun, to die cursing with their latest breath. Tlie fire from the Federal linos was directed with deadlyaim upon every one who exposed his person on the Confederate side. To raise a ly riddled with bullets. Among the despairing wounded, whose piteous cries moved the hearts cf the stoutest was one who made certain si;is which mcaniuljss to the mass of those who beheld him, were full of significance to two Confederate soldiers. These two were Maaons, and the Miriia mau.' uv tue wuuuucu xcuciai were ; I. . J. The men at oucc applied to General Ilokc, who was in command, for permission to rescue the unfortunate individual who had appealed to them by sigus so sacred. The General objected. He spoke of the almost certain death that awaited them on emerging from the breastworks, lie was thcu told of the peculiar claims which the wounded Federal had upon their assistance the mcu avowing themselves rendy to die rather than not respond to a brother Mason's call for help. Gen. Hoke thereupon agreed that they should make the attempt to restore the sufferer, provided they u?ed due cautiou. At nightlall the venture was made by the devoted Masons, aud, though they passed through appalling peril, they succeeded iu bringing their distressed aud afllictcd brother off. He was a Lieutenant-colonel, badly shot in the head, lie was carried to a hospital, and, though his wound was considered mortal, he recovered, thanks to the assiduous care of hia rescuers. In contrast to this, look at Grant heartlessly allowing his wounded nun to perish before his eyes iu uutold and protracted agonies. His guns were even directed against the Confederate ambulance corps, ami "grim-visaged war," under his policy, assumed a front of horror which recalled the most barbarous ages. We do not consider him so much our too as that of humanity for he slaughtered his own soldiers with the same savage equanimity that he did ours. Though he has not yet waded 'through slaughter to a throne" he has more than once "shut the gates of mercy on maukiud." Additional Uotmtlcs. rlho Secretary or War transmitted to the House of .Representatives the following letter lrom the Paymaster general, dated July' 11, in reply to a resolution directing the Secretary of the Navy and Treasury to inform the House wl ... further legislation, if any, is necessary to facilitate tho payment of additional bounty granted by the act of J uly 28, 18GG. The 1 Jay master-general says : "So for a.s relates to this Uurcau, I am of opinion that no further legislation is necessary. Paymasters and Clerks as many as can successfully engage in tho work of examining and paying the claims for additional bounty, are diligently and industriously so employed. Any change in the system, now in favorable progress, I feel sure would tend rather to retard than lacilitate the accomplishment of the desired end. 'It is proper to explain that tho rolls, to -which reference must be had for the authentication of such bounty claims, have passed into the custody of the office to that branch of the Treasury Department, the office of Land Auditor, to which they finally pertain for the examination and settlement of disbursing officer's accounts. This bureau is, therefore, dependent upon tho Auditor for essential facts to be de rived from the rolls in his possession be-!

fore claims can be finally determined and paid. The payments follow just as rapidly as the answers to our inquiries are received from the Auditor. With the present facilities of this office, the number paid monthly could be largely increased if it were possible for the Second Auditor to r-..l.. ... !.l ll 111. 11TI .1

Urcmnlovi'g IHilillrr a Cillzci: Ordered to Eat Grass. From the Nashville (Tenn.) Gazette, June 23. The Kingston East Ti nncssecan, the political proclivities of which is a guarantee against exaggerated or prejudicial stories agaiust "the Lord's annointcd " cives the following particulars of a disgraceful bit ot tyranuy, recently perpetrated at Loudon : " Wc have just been informed of a difficulty that took placo at Loudon, on Mon-' day last between Jo. Alexander, a militia Captain, and one of the citizens, which, if true, greatly reflects on the state militia. "It appears that Alexander has rcccntlr received a commission in the State guard ; and on Monday last had his men mustered in. Alexander havinir a yrrudire against one b. ires, for some real or imaginary auront given some time ago, and leeun"himself secure with Ins fifty valiant back er!?, proceeded to wreak his vengeance upou the unfortunate Vires. The unsus pecting Vires was pounced upon by a file of new soldiers, and conveyed to the presence of the great mogul, by whom, after numerous insults offered, ires was sentenced to cat grass or go hungry. Vires refusing to comply with the Captain's command, the guard was directed to enforce the order at the point of the bayonet, whereupon Vires was considerably punctured, but still refused to nibble. Upou the remonstrance of some of the citi zens with the valiant commander, Vires was released, and at once git out a State warraut for Alcxauder. As the tycoon says he will not permit himself to be ar rested, and deputy Sheriff Sparks, who holds the warrant, says he must and shall be arrested, wc anticipate some interesting war items lroai that locality'. "We understand that this uew made commander labors under the hallucination that instead of a militia Captain he is one of the military district commanders, and accordingly in general order No. 1, he or ders that all stores must be closed at 0 o'clock, and no one to be on the treet without a pass from his headquarters. If we do not mistake Gov. Brownlow, we conclude that this officious officer will be rewarded for his extraordinary vigilance by being summarily dismissed the service." The Kuoxviilc Press learns by a private letter from Loudon thai this valiant Captain and preserver of the public peace was arrested by the Sheriff, and was to be tried Saturday at Loudon. Old Tiiads Charity. The home for Friendless Children of this city is an institution entirely worthy of the country. It has for its end a noble and praiseworthy purpose. Persons of all political parties have contributed liberally to its support, and among those who have been most generous iu subscribing to the erection of a new and handsome building for its use we notice the leading Democrats of Lancaster. The Republicans, as a rule, have been equally liberal. Rut there is one prcmiuent name not to be found on this 'roll of honor.' It is that of ThadJeus Stevens. lie refused to give a cent unless the managers agreed to admit nesrro children on a perfect equality with those bom of white parents. There is boldness and consistency in this act cf Old Thad. He believes fully in negro equality, illustrates it in his household, insists upon it everywhere, and makes it a rule of his ptivatc and public life. He does not believe in forcing negro suffrage aud negro equality upon the people of the South, and refuses to act upon the same principles at home. He is honest. His followers in Lancaster county and elsewhere, who refuse to come up to his standard, arc cowards and hypocrites. La waster Pa. lnteUigmrer. Tlic Progress of Mexico. The Uoston Post says that the editors are speculating about "the progress of Mexico," which is just as sensible as talk of the life of the dead. The population of Mexico is Jobred, a mixture of the different races, the Spanish, the Indian and the negro. Science teaches what history has abundantly proved, that there is no such thing as progress for such a population. It must remain what it is. a foul and im probable mass of humanity, until it fades from the face of the earth. Taking such a population iuto the bosom of the United States would not help it, but would only further dilute the already sufficiently contaminated elements of our own population. It would help on the ruiu of this country without lifting the Mexican population for that thcro is no remedy but that of extermination and the sooner that comes, the better for the white race everywhere beneath the sun. A Giiiiic of ISItiir. The NurfrccsLoro (Tenn.) Monitor tells of a Coffee county darkey who got a certificate by humbugging the register into the belief that he was a Rrownlowitc. Some days subsequent, the register found that his "man and brother" was a staunch Ktheridgc man. The register used the niot violent and oppressive language towards him, and told him he had orders iu his pocket to return such negroes to slavery ; he would not be allowed to vote against Urowulow and retain his freedom. The negro replied he saw no benefit in being tree if he was not allowed to vote as he chose. The register drew his pistol and threatened to shoot, but the conservative darkey stood up to the rack and succeeded iu bluffing the Rrownlowite, who sneaked off, amid the jeers and laughter of those who witnessed his efforts to bully the conservative. Prcutico says hell is governed by tho devil, and Tennessee by Prownlow.

Prcsfosi Ifitigr and Mrs. Surratt. The Eveniug Telegraph of Monday appeared very iudignant and very much shocked in consequeucc of a statement in some paper to the effect that ex-Senator Preston King, of New York, drowned himself because of remorse for his haviug persistently refused to admit Miss Surratt to see the President while her mother was under sentence of death. This is no new story; "neither is it without foundation, and pretty strong foundation. It is well known that Prestou King was "on guard" at the White House at that titLe. Who placed him there wc know not; but ho was there, and turned a deaf ear to Miss Surratt's most earnest and eloquent pleadings to be permitted to sec the President in behalf of her convicted mother. The mother was executed murdered. Not even the recommendation of mercy signed by a majority of even the military officers who condemned her on put chased

testimony, was allowed to reach the eyes of the l'residcnt. ihc Unite House was hermetically sealed against any aud all of tier friends, even he weepmg daughter, and Preston King was the instrument by which it was thus scaled. Not long after Mr. King drowned himself. Why ? He had no other great cause of gficf; nothing to make him desire to leave the world. lie was id good health, he was wealthy, he occupied au honorable position iu society, held a lucrative and an honorable office, Tthe Collectorship of New York,) aud was blessed with evei vthiriir calculate m i ed to make life desirable. Why, theri, did he commit suicide ? Was it not the ghost of the murdered Mrs. Surratt, and the grief stricken form of her daughter, that drove him to the desperate deed ? He perhaps was responsible too, for keeping the President ignorant of therecommendatiou of Mrs. Surratt to executive clemency, as he was of f revent'ng Miss Surratt from plcadir.g with the President fjr her mother's life. He had served as a wretched tool iu the hands of Stanton and Holt, to consummate the murder of an innocent woman, and the consciousness of all this proved too much for a man naturally as kind hearted as was Preston King. Under the curse of this damning conscious ucss life became insupportable, and he put an end to his Wretched earthly existence.

In the Senate Mr. Troplong rose aud said: Gentlemen Iu one of our recent sittings the interest which is taken here in all noble causes had called forth expressions of hope in favor of the Kmperor Maximilian. We were, it appears, iu error, and we have at prescut only to express sentiments of allliction movement. A horrible crime has been perpet rated, contrary to the laws of war, the right of nations and the laws of humanity hear, hear. Ma&imiliau, who was only a conquered wau, has been transformed by treason and barbarity into a victim. They who have immolated the prince so loyal aud so sincere, whom such imposing manifestations i'rom the nation had come to Miramir to seek and offer the vac in t throue these men, if they merit that name, do not represent cither the cause of a people or a form of government. Applause. It is military anarchy, iutoxicatcd with a day of cowardly and odious success, ipplausc, which destroys its enemies prior to destroying itself. Approbation. For, geutlemcu, be certain that the blood of Maximiliau will fall back on the men who have shed it. Yes, yes. Such is the doom of inflexible justice. The death of that innocent prince will do more injury to its pcrgetrators than he could have inflicted ou them by a victory. Let us, therefore, protest against this abomiuable outrage ou the civilization of our time, and Jet us cling more firmlyr to the generous aud liberal principles which led usto suppose it impossible. Loud applause. M. Adoph Rarrott Aud the infamous traitor, Lopez, who is a member of the Legion of Honor! What measures are to be takeu with respect to him ?

In the Corps Lcgislatif the manifestation was more quiet. The President (M. Schneider) said : Gentlemen Up to yesterday every one refused to believe that the Kmperor Maxi milian had perished, the victim of an odious deed. At present wo only know the fact to be too true, for the crime has been consummated. The afflicting intelligence was officially announced this morniug, accompanied by expressions of sentiments in which the whole of France will share. General cries of "Yes, yes." Uut your President desires to ma. litest openly iu the Legislative body the reprobation he is inspired with by such an outrage on civilization. Loud and prolonged marks of approval.

The Governorship of Indiana; We notice that many of our cotemporarics ;'re discussing the question, who shall be the next Democratic candidate for Governor. A number of good men are mentioned, any one or whom would be perfectly acceptable but many of thctri, wc know, will not consent to make the race. Down in this "ieck of the Woods" Democratic popular sentiment unanimously aud emphatically demands that Thomts A: Hendricks, our present able United Stilted Senator, shall be our standard bearer in Indian?., in the great struggle of 18G8. His ability as a speaker, the courtefy drld suavity of his manners, the respect entertained for him by meu oi all parties, and his great popularity are needed td tCTtf Indiana at the next election. He is emphatically the man to beat Governor Raker. It is not the intention to take Mr. Hendricks out of the Senate a petition hd fills with so much ability and uigriitf ; Rut it is argued, and with great truth, that unless our State ticket is elected, we can not hope to elect a majority in the Legislature. With Mr. Hendricks'as our candidate for Governor wc will carry tho State ticket and the Leg:slature, and he can be re-elected to the Senate, as was Governor Lane in 18G1. The Democratic people down this way dou't mean to take any denial from Senator Hendricks. They demand, for the

sake ot the country, this sacrifice at his hands, u e have doubt that the same feelinp: pervades the Democratic ranks all over Indiana, and that the State Conven tion, when it ejects, will register the edict of the Democratic prioplö by the unani mous nominaticfi ot Mr. Hendricks as their candidate for Governor in 1808. Evansville Courier. The Danger of Evil Precedents. Speaker Colfax, in a late serenade speech, at Washington, in which h allti les to the President's remark about "the military despotism established over the South by Congress," says. "We have heard these charges of military' despotism before, during the war, from the party vhich ?o bitterly opposed his election three years ago. Every act teni ing to strengthen the Government such as suspensions of the writ of habeas Corpus, trials by court-martial, &c. was denouueed as a military despotism. Rut the people rendered their verdict, audit could not be reversed.' While the war was progressing, those exercises of tyranny, which the speaker very mildly terms "acts to strengthen the Government," were justified upon the ground that they were in war, and that it was necessary so to carry it on. Now there is no war, and perfect peace prevails, but Speaker Colfax sustains tyranny because before it was not revoked by the peop'e. It is thus evil precedents are set. and the wisdom of Democratic opposition to them, in the first place, is established. p. A New Confidence Dodje. On Thursday last two men jumped off the Martinsville train near the line of Shelby and Johnsen and approached Patrick. Reard, who was wofking in his hay field near by, and represented themselves as United States detectives, and said they had been informed that he had five hundred dollars counterfeit government currency in his possession. Mr. Reard, of course, plead not guilty to the charge, and remarked that he had only about forty dollars in money iu all the Wofld. The pretended detective asked to see this, an I Mr. Reard took out his pocket book and displayed one twenty, one ten, two fives and two one dollar bills, and one fffty cent scab. Oue of the sharpers took the money and after a pretended critical examination pronounced the twenty, tcu and fives counterfeit, and made an entry of their number in his note book and then handed thm to his companion, excepting the ones and scab, which he returned to Mr. Reard. They then made several inquiries about the neighbors, and finally con eluded, as they had some more bizness in the locality, not to make any arrest at that time, haviug sufficient Confidence in Mr. Reard to believe that he would be on hand when they should call for him that evening or the following morniug, aud left, taking the forty dollars with them. It is hardly necessary to state that these beauties never returned that they were sharpers, and that this is one of the numerous tricks of 'fraud and rascality, known as "confidence games," that arc being daily transacted throughout the country.
