TREATMENT Of PRISONERS OF
WAR.

Some few weeks since there was a general
elamor throughout the North for the adoption
Of a rigid and barbarous policy By the go7-
eminent, toward all prisoners Of war, particu-
larry those taken on board Of privateers,
whom the enemy are pleased to stigmatize as
pirates. Mr.. LINCOLN 10 his message TO Con-
gress pledged himself TO treat all privateers-
mr. as pirates, and his position was Endorsed
By The northern press. Recent events, how
ever, show that M. LINCOLN has become in
VoIved in a dilemma from which be viii only
be extric tea az the expense of violated faith,
and after mourning the contempt Of foreign
powers. The certainty Of severe retaliation
By the Confederate Government, in case bis
atrocious scheme is carried ou has awakened
the enemy to a nro7er appreciation of the mat
ter, end is rapidly producing a reaction in
northern sentiment. Two leading New York
iournals-she Times and Worli-have already
taeitly recognized the Southern Confsderscy
as belligerents SO far as to advocate the ex.
change Of prisoners Of war with Us. The
Albany .7rgus, an influential Democratic
paper, gives its reasons for the adoption Of
this policy in tie following paragraph:
The fortunes Of war have placed in the
hands Of the enemy some thousands Of our
officers and soldiers. If we hang
ing, the enemy viii retaliate, and by all the
laws OF way they will be jus flied. 4 war so
conducted will degrade US in the eyes Of The
world, ard dsmoralize us in our our own na-
lures. Let US have an exchange of prisoners.
Let Us procure thus the restoration to service
OF those Of our officers who have been released
on parole. We cannot always guard agsjns.
the disasters Of war; but we can prevent dis
honors ike these.
It is understood, too, that another Jealous
convert has been recently made 10 this doc
trIas, in the person Of the abolition congress
man, Ely, whose eyes have been opened to its
manifest Justice only since be was captured IN
his nighg at Bull Ran and Gagged at Richmond.
The excellent opportunity furnished this hon
orable individual for calm and quiet reflection,
far away from the exciting debates Of the
WADEs, the WILSON'S and the LovEJoYs, has
wrought a wonderful change Bpon bis magma
nlmity, and exposed to him fully the barbarity
Of in~discriminate hanging.
We have an idea that this revival in Yankee
morals will continue until it reaches the coun-
sels Of the LINCOLN cabinet, and they will be
made to eat their words OF cruel heartlessness
and neck braggadocjo.

Approximations OF an Attack.

The Washington correspondent Of the Bal
more Exchange writes:
The fear ofaan attack from Gen. Beaursgard
still prevails with the officials of the admins
t~Tation, hence all the cannon at Harrisburg,
owned BY the State OF Pennsylvania, has been
ordered to be transferred to the banks Of the
Potomac. The same feeling Of dread, be it
said, does no, peryade the people of this dis
trict as a whole.
From the number who are daily imprisoned
as suspected of sympatliZ ng with the CoDfed-
crates, it is only reasonable to suppose that
they would hail the advance Of the Confsde-
rate armies in this direction as a step 70 their
deliverance from the thraldom which is I'M
posed on every man in the free States who does
not choose to hold the opinions Of the party in
power.
Operations at Arlington are being carried on
vigorously. Five thousand axes are employed
in Telling trees in the rear of the mansion, be-
tween it and Bal's cross roads.
The following is from the same letter;
The present arrivals Of troops in this city
shows but too plainly the difficulty which the
government already exp Tiences in e~nlistiHg
new recruits. Instead Of coming by regi-
ments, az formerly, you see companies, and
even squads, of the most filthy, depTayed and
ignorant men TO be found on this continent.
Most Of them look as though they had Just
been liberated from the prisons or impressed
from the pauper Institutes Of the cities OF the
North.

WALL STREET IN AGoNY.-The New York
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger says:
Wall street is painfully exercised to-day by
that ill-natuTed money article in the London
Times, (warning Brother Jonathan not to en-
ter Lombard street with bis new loans for war
purposes-inasmuch as Lombard street looks
upon the northern Jonathan, as we'll az his
southern (secesh) brother, as an incorrigible
Tepudiator.
The talk is, that the writer Of the money
article for the Thunderer is an individual
whose sympsthies and interests are all with
Jefferson Davis, and against the North. How
all that may be, l cannot say; bat do say
that the cold water the Jupiter Of Printing
House Square has thus thrown upon American
credit is having the effect to inspire everybody
with fresh anxiety to hear from MF, Auguste
Belmonte, who, by this time, must be among
the English money kings, face to face.

The army correspondent of the
Dubouo Herald has some particu-
lars of the death Of Gen. Lyon,
which we have not seen in any
other paper:
Soon after the fight commenced,
Gen. Lyon saw how fearfully the
enemy outnumbered him, and he
gave up the day as lost. From
that time he seemed utterly re-
gardless Of life, and in fact seem
ed scarcely consious OF anything.
A ball struck him in the leg, to
which he paid no attention, and
soon after another struck him in
the head, inflicting a severe flesh
wound. He bled freely, but refused
to move out of the line of fire.
The Iowa regiment were occupy
ing the brow of the hill to the
right Of the battery, and were ox-
posed to a CALLING fire from the
woods in front. Gen. Lyon stood
calmly a few tepsinrear ofthe CO
lored company, bareheaded, will
bulls hailing around him in fright
ful quantities. IF some one viii
lead us, we will clear that wood
with the bayonet." 81 will lea
you!' says he, and at that instan
a ball entered his breast, passin
through his body just above tn
heart. He fell Instantly, an
a moment after reaching tn
ground said: "IoWa Regiment, 90
are noble boys!" A little later h
grew weaker, and his last word
were. FORWARD, MY BRAVE MEr

live a dozen seconds after bein
struck by the last ball.

Treasury Notes, and the Shoemaker.

The first Treasury Note issued
will be to the patriotic Masscahu-
sets shoemaker whose letter, ac-
companying a remittance of 800,
which he rendered to the Govern
ment for ten years without inter-
est, was published in The TRIB-
UNE few days ago. The name
Of the man who set so patriotic
an example is E. P. Wallace. and
he is a resident of Amesbury mills,
Massachusetts. The Secretary of
the Treasury has no power to ac-
cept tenders ofmoney without in
terest, or for such long period,
and for this reason a Treasury
Note bearing interest at the rate
of z $40 per cent, payable semi
annually, will be issued to him.
Doubtless there are thousands Of
patriotic shoe-make. s. and other
mechanics, men of every occup-
alton, who will invest in a similar
manner. No savings institution
pays SO high an interest Besides,
such Treasury Note will always
command, at once, the full amount
Of its face, with whatever interest
may have accrued, and within a
few months will, without doubt,
bear a premium. They can be
held as a permanent investment
until maturity-three years-and
the interest for the whole period
may be drawn at that time, or al
the option Of the holder the notes
may be converted, if amounting to
$500 in the aggregate, into bonds
of 20 years, bearing interest at
at six per cent.
The issue of the demand notes
$5's, and $l0's, is being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible
About $250,O0O per day is thrown
out now, and the first of next week
SS35Q0,000 per day will be issued.
Ten men viii be constantly emp
loyed in signing and countersign-
ing for the Register and Trcasur-
er these notes. Each one of these
makes on an average 5000 sigma
lures each day. At this rate of
signature each clerk receives a
compensation of 81. 200 pr annum.
There are many, however, who
make 1000 or 1000 more than
the average number ofsignatures
per day, and these receive pay,
pro rata. For the signature of
the whole issue Of $5O,OOO,OOO of
demand notes, the labor of one
man for seven years would be re.
uuired.

Compound Extract of SarSapariIIa,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal mnlady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other aiTcc-;
tons which arise from it, such as ERUrTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMPLBs, PUsTULBs,

indeed ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA

in mp,uity of the blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
