Farther Horrible Revelations of An- dersonville Prison Life, ‘The Prisoners Prey Upon and Kill Ono Another in Their Desperation. &eo. &c. &c. ‘Wasninatoy, August 30, 1865, THD PRISONPR HANDCUFFED AT NIGHT. ‘The record of yesterday having been read, General ‘Puomas, a member of the Commission, said ho under- ‘stood that the prisoner had been kept handcuffed at night ‘while ip prison. The accused should be at liberty to prepare his business previous to his attendance before the court. He did not know who had charge of the ac- used, but as he was attended constantly by guards he ‘could sce no necessity for continuing the rigid treatment, He made this suggestion with the view that the condition ‘of the prisoner might be ameliorated. WIS COUNSEL ADVISE IT FOR FEAR HE WOULD COMMIT SUICIDE. Judge Advocate Criruan stated that the rigor alluded to was adopted asa matter of precaution, at the sugges- ‘tion of the counsel for the defence, who said that other- ‘wise the prisoner might commit suicide. This conver- sation occured the samo day the gentleman retired as his ounsel. Acting on the suggestion of the counsel and ‘pon his own judgment, he asked the keeper to put the handcuffs on the prisoner. It was not that night, be- eause tho sentry constantly attended him; but it was @ubsequently done. It was not unusual for persons ac: ‘cused as the prisoner was, to be kept in close confine- ment and handcuffed. He was sure such treatment was well known to tho prisoner himself. It seemed the Court should, not dictate what trealment ‘the prison keeper should adopt. The Court was respon- sible for him only while he was here. He did not want to subject tne prisoner to cruel treatment, He did not propose to apply the lex talionis. If the Court thought that no such treatment as that complained of should be continued, he felt satiefied that Colonel Colby would ac- eommodate himself to their wishes, He repeated the handcuffing was only a matter of precaution for the rea- gon stated. He was sorry to learn that the handcuffs Jast night injured the prisoner; but it was certainly unin- tentional, and could not have been known to Colonel Colby. General Tuomas would distinctly state that the matter ‘was brought to his attention by the counsel for the ac- ‘cused. Mr. Baer said that on that day the prisoner was £0 @istracted in mind that he himself (Mr. Baker) did not know what he would do, Tho prisoner threatened fre- quently to him that if tho counsel did not return, or de- werted him, he would never again come into the pres- ence of the Court. During the confusion and excite. ment of the prisoncr’s mind in speaking to the Judge Advocate, he made the remark that he did not know what the prisoner would do unless the counsel re- tupnod. He did not know but that tho prisoner might ‘be confined closely. From this the mistake arose. Last night, however, Wien there was no necessity for it, the | Finge hogt aah Prioner was handcuffed.

If it had come to bis knowledge he would have let it-pass, If the prisoner had not been in an wn- healthy condition no injury would have oecurred to him by the treatment, No one, however, is to blame for it, ‘The June Apvocare—The government must take its @wn course.

SPRING. Andrew J. Spring, a prisoner at Andersonville, testified to the filthy condition of the place and the bad quality of the food, some of which was full of maggots; vegetables were not issued with the rations, but he succeeded in smuggling some in which he Mad procured from a Georgia regiment; he thought there was plenty of groen corn in the neighborhood, there being a farm of seventy- five or one hundred acres; a strict order against trading was issued by Captain Wirz; peaches, he judged, were plentiful; the guard would eeize and vegetables which bad been smuggled in, and take them to Captain Wirz’s headquarters; the effect of the treatment made idiots of some of the men and crippled others; one of the prisoners ventured to ask Captain Wire to givo bim employment outside, that, he might raw an additional ration; Wirz replied, “You God damned Yankee gon of a bitch, if you don’t go in Til starve every one of you to death ;” this was a common mode of reply to prisoners; on another occasion he said toa prisoner who had endeavored to escay “If you ever dothat again Pl shoot you as sure as I’ll go to hell—and I know I shall go ‘there; rations were fur- nished to the dogs from the ; hesaw a man brought in by these doga, attended by Captain Wirz and Turner; he had some men working in the chain gang, | of them was so reduced that he was taken to hospital and died; witness had seen men in the cks; about the 15th of May he saw a man shot from a try box, and Captain Wirz soon ap] , and, draw- ing his revolver, swore he would kill every man who did not get away from the gate; another man, who was asleep, rolled under the dead line and was shot; he had seen one of our negro soldiers whipped ~~ or seventy- five lashes for refusing to work, he being sick. Cross-examined.—There were about twenty negroes in the squad; I never saw Captain Wirz shoot anybody Captain Wirz might have been attracted to the ground after the shooting to which he had referred; he did not know that Wirz remonstrated with the sentry for the shooting, and removed him; the men were put into the chain gang because they had attempted to escape. Q. Did you ever see anybody shot who was pot com- mitting an offence against the regulations? A. Yes, the man who was asivep and rolled yverthe line.

Isaac Woodruff entered g. g. Avalanche. Mr. Lytle entered bik. g Black Charley, D, Piifer entored g. g. Gray Harry... TIME. First Heat,—When the horses wére brought on the track the betting commenced, Avalanche having the call ae tae eet e N agiiad Sree kim o <y" at one hundred to eighty, li then ascertained that Gray Harry woul not start, After scoring a few times the betting changed, and Black Charley for atime be- came the favorite at ten to eight. At the start Ava- lanche advanced again in favor, and was offered at ten to black, opening a gap of two lengths around the turn, which he increased to the quarter pole, passing that point in forty-one seconds, The black then broke up, and the gray made the gap six lengths to the half mile pole, in 1:24. Going along the lower streteh the gray con- tUnued to make the space greater between himself and follower, and came on the homestretch forty yards clear of the black. A steady gait brought him home a winner of the heat by eight or ten Jénghs, in 2:4834. | Scond Heat.—One hundred to thirty was offered in all directions on Avalanche, until it was ascertained that Sam McLangblin would handle the black during the remain- der of therace, Sam, after moving the horse up and down the track, offered forty against one hundred that | he would win, which put a stop to any farther offers of odds on the gray. Coming up for the word, McLaughlin witha rush took the pole from the gray, and went round the upper turn two lengths ahead, and, keeping this ad- | vantage, passed the quarter-pole in forty-two and « half seconds, The black maintained this lead to the half-mile pole, reaching there in 1:23; but on the lower stretch the gray extended himsecif splendidiy, and clo-ed grad- ually until he was at the shoulder of the black, where, being foreed a little too much, he broke up and fell off badly. From there to the end the black had nothing to do but win, which he did by six length, in 2:5254. Third Heat.—A great change was now manifest among the money chan, and those wh’ were so anxious to get on the gray in evious heat were now oflering one hundred to fi‘ty on the biack. — After a few attempis: the horses had a very equal start; bat going around the Jower turn the ler ae omeper Sapte away from the gray, and was one length ahead at the quarter-pole, in forty-one anda half seconds. He now broke all to pieces, and seemed inclined to give up the contest; for before he recovered the gray was eighty ‘yards ahead of him. The gray passed the half-mile pole in 1:28, and came around to the finish eighty yards in advance ‘of the black, making the heat in 42 ‘Fourth Heat.—The financiers were puzzled; they bad been betting on both sides, aud a majority of them were sure to lose no matter which horse won, and their study now was to make their burdens as light as possible. One hundred to fifty was offered on the gray just before the start. He took the lead by about half a length, bot the black stuck to him closely around the turn, and at the quarter pole they were head and head, in forty-one sec- onde, Going down the backstretch the race was most contested, the horses being 80 close together that there was only a neck difference between them, and this was in favor of the pray. ‘At the half mile pole—time 1:22—they were parailel, and they trotted up the lower stretch yoked together. The contest lasted in this excit- ing way until the borses were at the three-quarter pole, . whon the black flew up; then the gray broke, but reco’ ering first, he came on the homestretch two lengths clear ‘The inquest on the body of Catharine Cleeves, the vic- tim of the late fire in Jonn street, was resumed yester- day nfdrning at the Coroner’s office, before Coroner Gover, The room was pretty well filled with witnesses and interested spectators, The hearing of the witnesses ‘was delayed till after eleven o'clock. Charlotte Sanley, being duly sworn, deposed—I workedor Mr. Field at 16 John street; I and five other girls were working on the 25th instant on the top floor, and at about half-past four P, M. I heard something like anu explosion; ran down stairs and immediately got to the last flight, and found I could not get any further on account of the dense smoke; 1 ran into a room with ‘Miss Muldoon (the deceased), and from there I was taken. down to the sidewalk by some gentlemen; I don’t know who they were; I did not see deceased after I left the workroom until after her death. Eliza J. Moffatt, sworn—I reside at No. 93 First ave- nue, and was employed by Mr. Fillo at 16 John street; was thero at the time of the fire; about half-past four P, M. I heard a noise similar to the report of a gun; some of the girls ran and looked out of the back window, and they exclaimed, “Ob!” Ithen ran down stairs to the first might, and finding the smoke too close I became al- most suffocated; some man came up stairs from the street and bodily carried me down into the street; I did not see the deceased after I left the workroom. Thomas J, Jones, being duly sworn, saye—I live at 199 Dean street, Brooklyn, and carry on the gun and pis- tol business, and other trades Soperislaing to the busi- ness—including fireworks in their season—at 16 John street, this city; I had on hand on the 25th instant, about two hundred doHars worth of what I consider actual fireworks; I had about two thousand five hundred dollars worth of fire crackers, and about four or five hun- dred dollars worth of torpedoes; fire crackers are not considered dangerous by the trade if stored in a build- ing; a few days previous to the fire I had an order for threo or four dozen signal lights; half were to be colored and the remainder plain; my brother went to Mr. Edge, of Jersey City, and ordered them; when received, my brother left out of the box half a dozen of the colored lights, and they were placed on a shelf in the store; I never knew of any spontaneous explosion of these lights before; I know of an ordinance prohibiting the storage of over a certain amount and peculiar kind of fireworks, except from June 10 to July 10; I have to obtain a permit every year to keep fireworks in quantities from June 10 to July 10 of each year; the lights that went off were green and red. ‘Alfred E. Baker, being duly sworn, deposes and says—I reside at 162 West Forty-fourth strect; T am Fire Marshal of the ciiy and county of New York; my duty is to investigate the origin of fires; I have partially invegtigated the fire at 16 John street, which occurred on the 25th instant; as far as I have proceeded I have come to the conclusion that the fire occurred by the sponta- neous combustion of the signal lights, which I understand ,were colored; by an investigation some years ago as to the origin of the fire at 1f lane, it was shown to have occurred through pontaneous combustion’ of some wheels of colored fire; upon this fact being proved I had an ordinance, passed by the Common Council preventing the storing of” these colored lights or colored fires of any kind; about three months ago I in: «i Mr. Jones’ store, through being notified by some of his neighbors that he had a large stock of fireworks on hand; upon examination I found he had a small quantity of fireworks on baud, and he also told me that he had a verbal permission from the Chief Engineer to keep that amount on band; the testi- mony that Itook from Mr. Edge upon the investigation above referred to was as follows, in regard to composition of colored fires:—At certain temperatures of the atmos- phere colored fires are liable to spontaneous combustion unless properly prepared; purple fires are seldom used, and are considered very dangerous: it is a combination of sulphate of copper, silpMur, chlorate of potash and some carbon; bine is also dangerous, and is made of the same ingredients; green is also dangerous; sulphuric acid should never be in these fireworks, Owing to the absence of othor important witnesses the inquisition was adjourned till next Monday morning, at eleyen o'clock. Inthe meantime Mr. Edge, Mr. Had- field, and other manufacturers of flroworks will be sub- poonaed and called to as to the danger of storing fireworks in the crowded portions of the city, THE NATIONAL GAME. The Grand Ee Set Wocruament in ‘Washington—Second Day’s Piay—At- lantic vs. Nations!—A Splendid Con- test-The Champions Victorious, d&c.” One of the finest contests witnessed this season was the grand match between tho Atlantic and National Clubs played on the President's grounds at Washington on Tucsday, The overwhelming defeat the Nationals had,sustained at the hands of the Atlantics the @ay previous, and the fact that the Atlantics had their full nine present and all in order for play, led all to sup- pose that the result of the second game would be similar to thatof the first; but all were mistaken, for neither club has played so fine a game this season as they did on this occasion, and we doubt if the Nationals ever reached the mark attained in this contest. Thoy began play with a kad of 2to1, and maintained their vantage ground until the fourth innings, when the champions crept up to them and passed them by a score of 12 to 10, Inthe next two innings, however, they mado the Atlantics draw bianks, while they themselves added seven runs to their sedre, the totals at the close of the sixth innings being 17 to in ther favor, This in itself was a triumph under any circumstances, but espe- clally so when taken in contrast with the display of the day previous. Apparently coutent with what they had done, they fell off a little in their play afterwards, their pitcher slackening his pace considerably, and the result ‘Was an opportunity was aflorded the Atlantics to do some of their tallest kind of batting, an adition of 21 runs to their score in the seventh and eighth innings testifying to their skill in this respect. After a contest of about two and a half hours’ duration the gam» closed with a victory for the Atlantics by a score of 54 to 19, amidst the congratulations of the frionds of the National at the manly light they had inade of it. Mr. Dakin, of the Excelsior, again acquitted him- gelfas umpire in the most satisfactory manner, and throughout the game the beat of fecling marked the intercourse of the two clubs, It is the ju ent of all those exper.enced in base bali matters, who witnessed this splendid game, that there was not a club in the country who could beat the National two to one with thoir full nine out and in trim for play.

GOLD OPERATIONS IN WALL STREET. Official Management of the Me- chanics’ Bank. ‘The Case Dismissed and Mumford Discharged. Kee kee de. Yesterday morning tho case of Peter R. Mumford, a ‘Wall street gold operator, who was lately arrested on charges of forgery, and obtaining twenty theusand dol- lars by means of alleged false pretences from the house of Greenleaf, Norris & Co., was brought up for examina- tion before Justice Dowling at the Tombs, The accused ig well known as a financier in Wall street, and the par- ticulars of the manner in which he obtained twenty thou- sand dollars in gold from the banking house in question, giving in exchange therefor a check for twenty-eight thousand dollars on the Mechanics’ Bank, have all been made public, There was considerable interest manifested in the proceedings, the attendance being Jarge and com- posed of a class not often met (but certainly lately more frequently than in the past) within the precinets of the Tombs. APPEARANCE OF THE PRISONER. ‘The accused, who sat near his counsel, bore evident traces of the effect of imprisonment upon him. He rarely lifted his eyes, and sat quiet and silent during the ex- amination. Justice Dowling having taken his seat THE PROSECUTION WAS ABANDONED. Mr. Milliken, for the prosecution, said that he foynd, among other things, that on the Saturday when tho checks were drawn from the bank a large sum had been deposited therein. He felt it due to the Court to make that statement. He was unable to find any testi- mony except such as would be regarded as mere hearsay evidence. A large amount of money had been deposited with the bank on the day the check was prosented for payment, and he would like his Honor to understand that there is no further testimony, except such as merely corroborated what had already been adduced. The de- posits which had been made afterwards in the bank mizbt not affect the moral aspect of the cas, but it would affect it legally. He was bound to say that he thought the prosecution could not possibly be sustained. Justice Dowling—Then I am to understand that you abandon the prosecution, I will take the paper and ex- amine the evidence. If the District Attorney should think there is not sufficient evidence to warrant convic- tion, I will decide the case accordingly. Mr. Rodman then rose for the defence:—He said the proceedings involved Mr. Mumford’s character. His property was lost by his failure and he now relied on his character, He recognized the frankness of the counsel on the other side in admitting that the prosedution could not be sustained. No man bad ever been convicted in this State under the circumstances which had been dis- closed in this case. A person might be indicted for ob- taining money where he had no account, but no man could be indicted for presenting a check on a bank where ho kept-an account, even though tie had-no deposits to his credit when tho check was presented. Tho testi- of Mr, Greenle@® showed that Mr. Mamford kept unt in the Mechanies, Bank, “The caso was that no m¢ an he gave a check to Greenleaf, Norris & Co. which w good. We proved that $163,000 had been deposited in the bank by Mumford on the same day the check was delivered. Would a thief do that? . A thief would not deposit a check after he had obtaned an amount from a bank to cover it, In addition to this Mir, Mumford had for two years kept an account in the Me- chanics’ Bank, and had good credit there. We cau #ls0 prove, and I can gay, and say it on the hoor of coun- sel to the Court, thai it had been the habit of the bank often to certify checks of Mr. Mumford whon there were no deposits at the time to meet ‘them. We can ciso 4d that on the 12th of August, ihe day on whic Mr. umford is charged with his offence, he had deposited to the amount of twenty-cight thousaud olan in the bank; be le deposits after the checks had beeh ficsonted, but he had feafon to rely on the eredit he enjoyed at the bank, although he had no amount in it sufficient to sustain him.» That was the way in which brokers managed their business at the various banks. Sometimes a broker would come toa “obtai one hundred thousand dollars on a promise to'xe' amount before three o'clock on the same diy, without a provious deposit. OF courwe in ninety-nine eases out of & hundred the stim was paid in before the hour agreed on. Justice Dowling—Have you any witness to show that the prisoner had such a privilege at the bank. Mr. Rodman replied be could prove it, but perhaps it would be bettor to wait, as his Honor had’ intimated his intention to examine the evidence in the meantime. Justice Dowling—If you have such testimony to bring forward I will hear it now, and it will guide me in my decision. Counsel—We have Mr. Cook, the teller of the bank, who-can prove the fact. Justice Dowling—Then let the witness be sworn. HOW THE AFFAIRS OF THE MECHANICS’ BANK ARE MANAGED. ‘The teller, Mr, Cook, was then placed upon the stand, He deposed he had_ been for twenty years paying teller ofithe Mechanics’ Bank of this city; knew P.
