SHENANDOAH HERALD IS PUBLISHED AV EEK LY BY JOHN II. GRABILL. ^k WOODSTOCK, VIRGINIA. FRIDAY, flARCM 24, 1QO5. ^mmmmmnnmrnmrnmrmmmmmmmmm i aa-a^tt*********t*i Mr. J. Alston Cabell, who is n candidate tor Lieutenant Governor. replied to the refusal ol State Chair¬ man J. Tavlrr Ell vson to allow the Rici.mond people to nettle by pn mary which tdiall make the race. Mr Cabell claims that Mr. Kllyson mis¬ led lim by silence and that ho (Cabell) would not bave announce] himselfhad he known Ellyson wai .joingto run. He conclude', by nv ing tbat now he is in the race and w ill remain to the end. SenatotB Martin and Daniel say tbat the proposition to construct a now Slate out ol the mountainous portions ol Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia is too absurd to be talked about. Tliey say that it is next 10 l npossible ot accomplishment, and that it would be little short ofassin- intv tor anyone lo offer a bill in Congress lor thai purpose. They both point out that io construct such a State, tlie consent ol tbe lei:- i*datures or Hie people oi each Mate affected Mould bave to bc procured .a consent which tb»y declare no ame person will expect to be niven. THE IMMORTAL SIX HUNDRED J/ajor J. Ogden J/uiray bas made a valuable addition to war history in bis book entitled "The Immortal Six Hundred.'" It is a truthful account ol the selection ol'six hundred Con¬ federate officers who wore kept, for a time in tbe hold of a small vessel un der tlie tire of Confederate -411ns and were afterwards placed on Morris Is land, between the United States bat. tories exposed lottie fire of tits Con¬ federates, lie gives a graphic ac¬ count ot the cruellies to which these officers were subjected. Tin y were ted ujion unwholesome and insuffici¬ ent iood, guarded by a negro regi¬ ment, exposed to the burning sun in a stockade upon that sandy island. The torture to which these officers were subj- cted was not tbe act ol some subordinate, but was in ola di ence to tbe order ot the Secretary cl War. We do not believe in tearing open partially healed wounds, but it is im¬ portant that tbe truth should be told, Northern people of this day, deceive-- by false reports actually believed that their prisoners were cruelly treated *'n the South, while Con led erate pri»on<<r8 were humanely treat ed in the North. There is abundant evidence that Confederate prisoner: were actually starved an 1 frozen tc death in Northern prison**, while thr Federal prisoners io tbe South rc* ceived tbe same rations tbat wen given to Confederate soldiers in thi field. Major Murray has given not onb the facts which came under his owi observation but ihe official corres¬ pondence taken trom records ot lin United States Government. lt is true that the conduct oi thi United States officers is a dark blo upon the nation. In spite of this however, it is miporant tbat a truth¬ ful account ot their treatment 0 prisoners should iorm a part ofhistor Major J/urrny's book should b lound in every library, North oi S<.uth, and the truth should be mad apparent, though tbe beavens tali There is a limited edition ol this bool which is sold at J!..*>() per copy. - .., .^mmmmmmW *»*aa»a> ._¦_->.-. .

WOODSTOCK, VIRGINIA.

FRIDAY, flARCM 24, 1QO5.^mmmmmnnmrnmrnmrmmmmmmmmm i aa-a^tt*********t*i

Mr. J. Alston Cabell, who is n

candidate tor Lieutenant Governor.

replied to the refusal ol State Chair¬

man J. Tavlrr Ell vson to allow the

Rici.mond people to nettle by pnmary which tdiall make the race. MrCabell claims that Mr. Kllyson mis¬

led lim by silence and that ho

(Cabell) would not bave announce]himselfhad he known Ellyson wai

.joingto run. He conclude', by nving tbat now he is in the race and

w ill remain to the end.

SenatotB Martin and Daniel saytbat the proposition to construct a

now Slate out ol the mountainous

portions ol Tennessee, Kentucky and

Virginia is too absurd to be talkedabout. Tliey say that it is next 10

l npossible ot accomplishment, and

that it would be little short ofassin-intv tor anyone lo offer a bill in

Congress lor thai purpose. Theyboth point out that io construct

such a State, tlie consent ol tbe lei:-i*datures or Hie people oi each Mate

affected Mould bave to bc procured.a consent which tb»y declare no

ame person will expect to be niven.

THE IMMORTAL SIX HUNDRED

J/ajor J. Ogden J/uiray bas made

a valuable addition to war history in

bis book entitled "The Immortal Six

Hundred.'" It is a truthful account

ol the selection ol'six hundred Con¬federate officers who wore kept, for a

time in tbe hold of a small vessel un

der tlie tire of Confederate -411ns andwere afterwards placed on Morris Is

land, between the United States bat.

tories exposed lottie fire of tits Con¬federates, lie gives a graphic ac¬

count ot the cruellies to which theseofficers were subjected. Tin y were

ted ujion unwholesome and insuffici¬ent iood, guarded by a negro regi¬

ment, exposed to the burning sun ina stockade upon that sandy island.The torture to which these officerswere subj- cted was not tbe act ol

some subordinate, but was in ola dience to tbe order ot the Secretary clWar.We do not believe in tearing open

partially healed wounds, but it is im¬

portant that tbe truth should be told,Northern people of this day, deceive--by false reports actually believedthat their prisoners were cruellytreated *'n the South, while Con lederate pri»on<<r8 were humanely treat

ed in the North. There is abundantevidence that Confederate prisoner:were actually starved an 1 frozen tc

death in Northern prison**, while thrFederal prisoners io tbe South rc*

ceived tbe same rations tbat wen

given to Confederate soldiers in thifield.

Major Murray has given not onbthe facts which came under his owi

observation but ihe official corres¬

pondence taken trom records ot linUnited States Government.

lt is true that the conduct oi thi

United States officers is a dark bloupon the nation. In spite of thishowever, it is miporant tbat a truth¬ful account ot their treatment 0

prisoners should iorm a part ofhistorMajor J/urrny's book should b

lound in every library, North oi
