Cur: Prisoners at Richmond,

Cap. Hurd, of the Second kentucky Reg.
ment, who recently escaped from Richmond,
makes the following statement in regard to the
treatment of the Federal prisoners at Richmond,
as we learn from the Buffalo Adveriiser:
" Capt. Hurd states that there are 100 pris-
oners confined in five large tobacco factories.
They are supplied with sufficient rations of
bread and meat only-no vegetables No tea,
no coffee, and no blankets or bedding of any
kind, are allowed them. Such as have money
are at liberty to get materials for comforts and
bed quilts, and to purchase such articles of food
as they please.
Since the Hatteras Inlet affair, all privileges
OF leaving the prisons under guard, on parole
Gc., have been Withdrawn, and no one is per-
united to leave the building, buy NEWSPAPER,
or send out any letter, unless Inspected. The
treatment is becoming constantly more rigid.
The health Of our prisoners is much better
than thai of the Southern troops. The climate
appears to agree with them, and almost all of
our woun led men and officers are out of bed and
able to get around. Col. Corcoran was perfect
ly well, and never was wounded The condition
of the building in which Capt. Hurd was con-
fined is disgusting. 1t is three story building
the upper one occupied by prvates, who, hay.
Ing no change of clothing, are of necessity very
filthy tho second by 70 odicers-gentemen-
many of them wealthy.
The vermin which crawl on the poor men in
the upper story fall through the loose flooring
upon these officers. In this connection | will
state that was informed by a lady in Wash,
inston that Mrs Ricketts,, wife of Capt. R., of
the U. S. Artillery, taken prisoner at Bull run,
member of the Lawrence family, refined and
ladylike, is compelled, in order to be near her
wounded husband, to stay in the same room
where five wounded officers lie in their beds. and
is not even allowed to retire at times when, if
her love for her husband did not outweigh her
modest inclinations, she would certa inly be out

The News.

The latest news from the various points OF IN
terest occupied by the Army Of the Republic
has not changed materially the position OF at
fairs. except in Missouri. From that quarter
we have conflicting Intelligence, and 1t seems
quite impossible to tell what is worthy OF belief.
From Lexington we have news that the town
was surrendered to the rebels Friday of last
week, after a desperate resistance, The tenor OF
all our previous dispatches, however, contra
diets this. but we are afraid we must accept 1t
as true A few days at farthest, will solve the
doubt.
Just what relation Gen. Fremont now sus-
tains to the Government is not made public but
that the advisability of deposing him has been
discussed by the authorities at Washington, and
that it Is possible his enemies may triumph over
him, have been made known, and have caused
much earnest protest all through the North
We saw some of the evil effects of our troops
fighting each other at Great Bethel. and seem
now to be fated to see still more disastrous ef-
tects in Missouri from quarrels among our OH
GERS and contentious between them and the Fed
era authorities
In Kentucky the Unionists are apparently
taking vigorous measures to expel the Rebels
who have invaded their soil. Cen Buckner
seems to have the command of the traitors who
have taken possession OF that portion of Ken
lucky near the Tennessee line, and he has issued
hypocritical address to the People. Gen An
derson, the hero of Sumter, has assumed the
command OF the troops put into his hands by
the Legislature, and has issued a patriotic and
stirring address to Kentuckians to arise and ex-
pei the invaders. When Kentuckians fight they
do it in earnest, and We shall soon hear exciting
news from s. the dark and bloody ground"
On the Potomac affairs remain much as they
have been for week, except that large numbers
of troops have been hurried to our positions
there. No advance Of our troops seems to be
Immediately expected, but the masslng of forces
there seems at presentto be mainly for defensive
purposes.
There are rumors of more sklrmishing in
Western Virginia in which the Union men had
the advantage, but the news seems to be too
indefinite to warrant placing much reliance upon

The following is an extract from dispatch
from Mr. Judd our Minister to Berlin: del
egation of German Turner'S from the United
States had come to participate in the festivities
of the German Turner's Association of young
men for their mental and physical development.
AS our American Turner's had no banner the
flag Of the American Legation wasreadily loaned
them. The stars and stripes had the first rank
of all the representative emblems of nationality
the American Turner's having been assigned tho
head of the procession, and | had the pleasure
of knowing that although our flag cannot be
cheered in Charleston, it was cheered most
heartily in Prussia on that occasion.
The Secretary Of State has issued circular
in regard to the correspondent of the London
Times.

Sawyer, Esq, of Hydepark respecting enlist

books are one Of the appointed mean, far

books are one Of the appointed means for
this.
You can't afford TO buy books for your
children. You will suffer them to grow up
without taste for books. Do you know the
consequences Recreation they must have.
and If they don't acquire taste for refined
pleasures, they will infallibly seek coarse
and brutalizing amusements. Three-fourths
Of the idle youths, who lounge about the
corners Of streets at nights, and who are
continually bringing themselves and their
families into trouble, might have been saved,
if a little money had been judiciously spent
on books for them, when they we're children.
You mistake, if you think il costs much
Books are the cheapest things there are.
The pleasure Of good book lasts all the
while you are reading it, while the gratitica'
ton to be had from other things is soon
over. Besides, must books will bear Sc
cond perusal, indeed all books such as We
would recommend ought to be. lfyou would
have your sons to succeed in life you mus
cultivate their intellect, and that is best don,
by giving them books to read. II YOU would
make your daughters capable Of attracting
rising young men, lei them have instructive
books. so that they may become conyersIbl,

Why, if there's anything you can afford un

SCOPE OF MIRACLES.

The Gospel miracles diEer from all Others
10 their nature, and frequency. and in the
disinterestedness which characterized them.
Neither the Saviour nor his disciples ever
wrought a miracle for their own personal
benefit. Dr.. Carson well says;
"Trophlmas have left at Miletum sick"
Did you, Paul: And why did you leave him
sick. when you possessed the power Of WORK.
ing miraclesi Why were yoa 50 profuse Of
your miracles in Melita, while you are 50
sparing Of them among your best friend,
For the very reason Of showing that miracles
are rather for the proof Of the Gospel, than
for the private benefit even Of the heirs 81
glory. God is sovereign in this. As well a.
10 everything else. Jesus healed the ear Of
the high priests servant, while Paul did not
heal his friend Trophimus.
The apostles exercised their power not By
their discretion or caprice. but by the sug.
ges,ion Of the Holy Spirit. This, then. is a
pfoyideniial fact. the record Of which, though
10 human wisdom trihing, is vet Ol great
importance 10 the children d God. Ihey
are not % expect that they will always b
free from sickness, or that their sickness vii

who gives no account u Ills matters.
