Governor arkey had previously de- clared that, if elected, hé would use every en- deavor to have hisapplication for pardon, now lying at Washington, granted. Humphrey's success is considered unimportant by the best Union men here. A. M. West, who is elected to Congress from the Fourth district, 1s a good Union man. C. E. Walker, who is doubtless elected Attorney General, is an eminent lawyer. ——__-«e, From Virginia. LETTER OF GOV. PIERPOINT ON THE TEST OATH. Richmond papers publish a letter from Gov. Pierpoint, answering the interrogatories of J. W. Lewellyn touching the eligibility of candi- dates. The Governor says :—“ ritid si aernrbd Painful at this time, in the distu condition of the State, while there are so many petitions at Washington on file for pardon, ana meet- ings being beld in a large number of counties in the State, passing resolutions declaring the loyalty of the people to the Federal and State Governments, that there should be reason for raising these questions. Congress acting under a provision of the Constitution of the United States. which is in these words, to-wit:—“ Each Honse shall be the judge of the election returns, and qualifi- cations of its own members,” has passed a joint resolution declaring that all its members shall take the oath to which you refer, That resolution prescribing the oath will have to be repealed before any member who cannot con- scientiously subscribe to it can take his seat. tis not to be expected that Congress will re- peal that resolution im order to give seats to members who cannot take the oath. He con- cludes as follows: « But has it not the appearance of persistent and continued Yebellion for men to run for Congress, who, by the law of Congress cannot take their seats! “If this class of men are sent to Congress. the members of Congress will conclude that the Representative is a type of the people, and will be likely to reject them.’ BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD ExTEN- S10x8.—Two very important railroad enter- prises are now under full headway. The one is the construction of a railroad from Washing- ton to Point of Rocks, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near Harper’s Ferry; and the other is the completion of the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad between Pittsburg and Cumberland, the latter also a point on the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad, 17 miles west of Baltimore. The Point of Rocks road will be 40 or 50 miles long. It is 70 miles now from Balti- more to Point of Rocks, and 91 miles from Washington to Point of Rocks by the present railroad. By the new road it will only bed or 50 miles to Point of Rocks from Washington. itis being built bythe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Soni pany. The Pittsburg and Con. nellsville road is 148 miles long: 59 miles are completed and in operation between Pittsburg and Connellsville; the remaining 59 miles will be completed, it is hoped, in about a year. When these two links are completed, there will be an air-line railroad from Chicago to Wash- ington, as follows: Chi: to Sarena by Fort Wayne and Chicago Road, 468 miles; Pitts- burg to Cumberland, by Pittsburg and Con- nelisville Road, 148 miles; Cumberland to Washington, by Baltimore and Ohio and Point of Rocks Road, 155 miles—total from Chicago to Washington only 771 miles, or 71 miles shorter than the present shortest ronte by way of Harrisburg and Baltimore. The difference in time, howeyer, will be stillgreater. It now requires $0 hours to go from Washington to Chicago. By the new route throngh trains can easily be run in 30 hours, and that will be only 25 miles per hour. Frvanciat.—The excitement in the New York stock market yesterday,says the evening Com- mercial, continued, and the transactions ex- ceeded those of any previous season during the year. The movement extends to all the rai!- road stocks on the list, and apparently with butlittle aid from cliques. The demand is very Much outside orders, and appears to be < fly the result ofa general conviction that railroad shares are worth more than the prices at which they have been recently selling. Prices co not appear to have reached the point at which speculators begin to grow timid, and seem likely to go still higher before a re-action se's in from an attempt to realize profits upon the advance. Governments are more active, and rither firmer; 6's of 155i are }, higher. State stocks and bank stocks sympathize with the gineral improvement. Gola continues” firm. From the absence ofany important de- mand for cotton or for Western produce from Eurepe, t concluded that a considerable ex- port of specie at an early day is inevitable, and holders of gold ask a higher price in anticipa- tion: in the meantime thedemand for customs is abont equal to the payments at the Sub- Treasury on account of Five-twenty coupons, #7The cholera still excites great alarm at Naples, where all sorts of medieval precau- Uons are adopted, which, when mingled with modern ways, have a rather odd effect. At all the railway stations of Naples, and on the road from Rome, are fumigating rooms, into which the pussengers are sent to be smoked before going into the city. If, however, they come from any of the cities where the disease is known to be violent, they are hurried down a back way to a lazareite, where they are treated to seven days’ imprisonment. Some ot the religions festivals have been suspended on account of the prevalence of cholera; but, on the other hand, theatrical performances bave beenfgiven tor the benefit of the sufferers. The last performance of this kind in the San Carlo produced 16,000 lire, about £640.— Foreign Paper. 82” The Louisville Conference of the M. E. Church South, which met at Russell ville. Ky., recently, was, if possible, more wedded to is idols than the Kentucky Conference at Coy- ington. Itpassed resolutions declaring that the M. E. Church South was organized in 1844 for the maintainance of Methodism in its prim®ive and that the Conference would adhere hurch, and thatthe President, Con- tate Legislatures, Governors, &c., as the delegates of the people, are the rulers of the United States of America according the divi- sion of power made to them by the Constitution of the Pnited Statesand by the constitutions of their respective States; and the said States ure a sovereign and independent nation, and ee not to be subject to any foreign juris- diction, R# Daniel V. Miller, tmaster at Adams- ville, Frederick county, Md., bas been acquit- ted by the U. S. District Court in Baltimore of the charge of robbing the mail. It was in evi- dence ‘that the letter proved to have been opened by the accused, was a decoy letter, sent by a detective agent of the Post Office De- partment, and was addressed to a fictitious rson. Upon this the court instructed the jury that the opening of a letter haying a fic- titious address was not a violation of law con- stituting the offence charged, and the jury ac- cordingly rendered a verdict of not guilty. &7-Great Sunken Lake, twenty miles long and ten miles wide, in Oregon, is supposed to lie two thousand feet below the mountains, which form a perpendicular wall all around.

Chipman the witness if he was sure he eat att ot his ra- tons except the corm bread. Witness.— You'd better ask me if Lamon my oath. Col. Chip- man.—Well, if you ask i ‘should fay it did not matter much whether you were or net. Witness.—I baye as much respect for go ee as you have. en. Wallace said this was all wrong, and be wanted no more such remarks. Mr. Baker rose to say something; and Gen. Wallace snid no discussion was necessary. The matter had been settled, and the Judge Advo- cate qo Sunn te Mr. Baker wished to speak upon an- other subject. He objected to the course the Judge Adyocate was pursuing ae eee to this cross-examination. It was right Judge Advocate to contradict the witness he could; but the manner in which it wasdone was Sy es and he hy it would be stopped. The witness comes of a very respect- able family, as he (Mr. Baker) had certificates to prove. Rh Chipman.—I don’t know anything abqut at. The witness.—My family is just as respecta- be as yours, and has as clean a record. Mr. Baker resumed, and said he had certifi- tes toshow that the witness had aided and isted many prisoners at Andersonville. If his testimony can be vreken down let it be cone, but he hoped the Judge Advocate would stop this petty way of catching the witness at every point. The smount of witness’ sales averaged $500 per dey. He did not know how many pair of sbces a man could make im day, but has heard that some men could make 24 pair per day. ‘ol. Chipman :—Witness gave ‘#500 in pair of Confederate money for a jacket and pants after be left Andersonville. The man who made grensteahs did it en a lead and green pencil; they were gener: passed at frilight, ‘Witness saw men shot atthe dead hne, but did not know why they went there for water when they could get it near the wg od By the Court:—A plentiful supply of could be bonght in the stockade. The ration Was sufficient to sustain life. Some of the prisoners who bad no money and could get no rations of course died. About one-fourth in the camp could not eat the rations, TO-DAY. The trial was resumed at 10 o'clock this morning, when Augustus Kleich, SthgPenneyl- vania cavalry, Was called for the defense, and testified that he arrived at Andersonville on the 10th day of March, and remained until No- vember. Wess was taken outon the 4th of July to cut wood, but was too weak, and he was sent to attend the stable. Wirz was sick about one month. Witness drew clothing twice—August and November. Lient. Davis was in command while Wirz was sick. Never saw or heard of Capt. Wirz shooting or in- juring a man so he died. Cross-examined by Colonel Chipman.—Wit- ness got out of the stockade because he could not get enough to eat inside. Understood that he would get double rations. Witness is certain that Wirz was not sick in July, bat was sick during the entire month of August—witness heard so. Witness, when he came out, had only & pair of drawers and two shirts, but in a short time got a pair of pants. Wirz had cursed men, pulled them about roughly. Martin S. Harris, Sth N.Y. artillery, sworn for defense.—Witness was putin stockade at Andersonville July 20th and kept there until the Ist of November. Witness was a Sergeant of S0, being appointed by Wirz at the solicita- ion ofthe men. About the 10th of September commenced to move the dead line, and it con- tinued for several weeks. During this time the prisoners had unrestricted intercourse with the guard to trade, Ac. Capt. Wirz countenanted it. There were numerous sutlers, one princi- pal. In October there was a complaint against a Jew sutler and Wirz gave him 5 minutes to move bis books and clothing after which he told the men to help themsel ves, Wirzreserving some potatoes, &c., for the sick. The water was un- fit for use. There were a number of wells dug, and on the south side of the branch springs were numerous. A spring was found outside the dead line, and a trough constructed so that the prisoners could get the water. There were fifty or sixty wells in different parts, but none were allowed to use them unless they had helped in the constraction, or as a matter of courtesy. Capt. Wirz allowed twenty men from each squad to go out any da’ to chop wood. On the evening of the 3ist of October, the rebel sergeants ordered two detachments to get ready to leave atSo’clock next morning, and the sick to report to the hospital. Never heard of Wirz committing actual personal vio- lence; heard of his cursing men. Witness saw prisoners trading soap, &c., with others, and trading was constantly going on with the guards. Witness knows the rations of his squad were never stopped as asquad. Some- times the rations would be missed one day, but be made good the next. Witness described his duties; when a man was missing, witness would procure a substitnte. Witness was at the prison near Milen, Camp Lorton, but was sent back in a wagon train. At Andersonville the bakers sold salt to the traders inside, which was thrown over the stockade in bags at night. The effect was that there was no saltin the bread. Witness wrote to Capt. Wirzon the subject and he is- sued an order prohibiting the trading of salt in the stockade, and immediately after the salt was perceptible in the bread. Cross-examined by Col. Chipman:—W itness re-enlisted after serving two years; uever at Andersonville wrote a letter to Wire asking to be detailed outside. Witness almost every week saw Wirz display temper. oe @7 It was announced by one of the savans at the late meeting of the British Association, that the Staffordshire coal fields in England will probably be totally exhausted within twenty years.
