A FORT WARREN PRIsoNER.-The Boston
TTGUe1er, in speaking of one Of the persons
lately released from confinement as priConer
at Fort Warren, says:
One of the prisoners, 8. B. Frost, was taken
at Fort Hatterss. He is young man, native
Of Connecticut, where his father resides. When
the rebellion broke out he was keeping school
at the South. He says he went to Fort Hat
teras to visit friend among the officers Of the
garrison, and while there the place Was stormed
and captured. That he might be better used
than the bulk Of the prisOnerss he claimed to
be the colonel's orderly, and by doing so he
was "messed" with the officers. Aftsr their
arrival at Fort Warren, he wrote to Secretary
Seward statement Of his case, and was there
fore plactd upon the list Of political prisoners.
An investigation, by order Of Mr.. Seward, re-
suited in his discharge, and he now goes home
TO Connecticut He says that while there are
some ignorant men among the Hatteras prison.
eTs, the majority Of the pfiVates are persons Of
ordinary intelligence, and some Of them are
wealthy citizens.

A volunteer writes home and asks why
friends do not write oftener. He says "No
one knows the joy ofreceiVing letter until
he has been q soldier. 1t comes like well
come messenger from old familiar scenes and
is welcomed as friend direct from home.
Write often to your soldier friends, and write
cheerful, brave letters, about all the affairs
at home. Children write the best letters, for
they tell all the little things that happen"
If it is such a luxury to receive a letter, We
see no reason why the brave fellows now in
service should not have continued feast.

mind absent ones that they are still kindly
remembered. Let all who have friends in

snuthern Union Sentiment.

1t is not unfrequently that we hear some
enc remark that 1t will not do TO trust to
the Union sentiment which Is believed to
exist in the South for aid In suppressing the
rebellion and restoring the authority of the
laws. So far in the South wherever our
arms have been victorious, or the least eyl.
dence of our success has been manifested,
the people in those States seem ready at once
to return to their allegiance, and, if 1t were
Lot for the force which threatens them from
the rebel government and their armed bands,
this manifestation would be more lively and
extensive in every part Of the South, except,
perhaps, in South Carollna-the nest of the
present conspiracy against popular govern
ment. We know that In Western Virginia
and the eastern counties 1t has been 80. In
North Carolina, as soon as our forces landed,
the people, who felt secure, proclaimed for
the Union.
Eastern Tennessee Is openly In arms
sgainst the usurpation, and in the city of
New Orleans the Unionists have been found
organized against the government, and their
organization is found 90 threatening that the
rebel government has become alarmed at Its
character, and has undertaken to break 1t up
by force and the arrest of the prominent
actors in it. These facts are all positive in-
dicstions that the present rebellion does not
rest upon the popular sentiment, but is
maintained by the force with which 1t was
first inaugurated. In fact, it can not be
otherwise. When we look at the prosperity
which every, where existed previous TO the
rebellion, the security everywhere enjoyed,
both in property and person, and contrast
these advantages, the greatest which any
government can confer upon people, with
the miserable prostration Of trade IN the
South, the destruction of business, the suffer-
ing among the people, the vast accumulation
of debt to be paid out of their toll hereafter the
desolation and misery of war, and the utter
hopelessHess of ever living in peace, even If
successful in their purpose ofseparation, with
the powerful, wealthy, enterprising and in
dustrious States of the North, the prospect
before the people Of the rebellious States
must be gloomy, and the present effect sad
dening and dishesrtening. Whatever ad-
vantages promised themselves can be no
greater than they were previously enjoying,
while the sacrifice they will have TO make to
effect change bringing no greater benefits,
are enough to appal the stoutest hearts, even
where more ennobling cause animated the
people to revolution. 1t is contrasts like
these which ore bringing the people of the
South to their reason, and giving force to
the opposition against the wicked usurpation.
Just in proportion as our arms become tri
umphsnt will this sentiment grow stronger
and more active, till the rebel power, finding
itself pressed powerfully from the outside,
and weakening continually from the inside,
will be compelled to give way, and the au-
thority of legitimate popular government be
again extended over a willing people.

ImpOrtant OmcIni order.

Hon. S. P. Chase, Secretary Of the Treas
ury, has issued an important order relative
to the seizure of property in disloyal States
by the national forces. The order provides,
in brief that there shall be agents appointed
in the different places conquered by our
arms who shall secure and prepare for
market the cotton, rice and such other pro.
ducts as may be seized, and that the naval
and military authorities shall aid in this
work. Slaves-or in the euphemism of the
Secretsry-"persons held to service for life
under State laws'-msy be employed by the
agents, and will be organized for syStsmGtizsd
labor, in securing and preparing for market
their products. Pay-rolls will be prepared,
and just compensation allowed 10 these
laborers, the amount to be fixed by the
agent, and approved by the military COM
mandant and the Secretary of the Treasury.
An inventory Of all stock and record of all
products taken will be carefully made by the
sgents and officers. The cotton and other
goods will be shipped to this city for market
and accounts will be settled by the Secretary
of the Treasury. The agent must so trans
act business, that ss little injury as possible
may accrue to loyal citizens, of those who
within reasonable time may assume the
character of loyal citizens.

Our Foreign Policy.

President Lincoln avows his purpose TO
adhere to cautious and prudent policy in
relation to foreign affairs. There need be
no apprehepsions of the occurrence of fhostil-
tiles between the United States and Great
Britain; for, unless the British Government
should seek a pretext for war, there Is no
ground for creating serious difficulties. 1t
is said the Cabinet at Washington feels no
anxiety on this subject, believing that a
temperate policy will allay excited feelings
and tend to cement the friendly relations
which have hitherto existed between the
two countries.

A citizen of Salem, Mass, well known for
his inventive genius, has given his attention
to the subject, and, it is said, has concocted
preparation which, when ignited, becomes
an unquenchable fame Of FIRE and birthstone.
He proposes to put it up in glass bottles, make
an ascension in a balloon, float over the
camps Of the rebels, toss over the bottles,
which, upon breaking, will explode and set
the camp on fire and blow up ammunition
wsgons-making them, to use Scriptural
language, as Sodom and Gomorrah. Not to
speak profanely, in his zeal to preserve the
Government he wants to give the rebels a
foretaste of the wrath TO come There may
be dificultlesin in the execution of such plan,
but few experiments would test its efficacy.
1t would be q novelty in war to see fire and
birthstone rained upon the Febels but
stranger things have happened. We pre-
sumo this is the Yankee who proposes to
close the war on contract"

THE REBELS BURNING COTTON.
An Arrival from Nashville.

Mr.. A. B. Barker, arrived from Nashville,
Tenn, last evening, having left that place
on the 23d ult. He made his way to this city
with much difficulty, as he was known to be
a Union man, and was unable to obtain q
pass from the rebel authorities. Mr.. Barker
has resided in Nashville during the past two
years, and, ss he was immediately connected
with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
up to the time of his departure, enjoyed fine
opportunities for observing the movements
Of the army in that quarter.
It will be remembered that Governor Har-
rls, of Tennessee, made q requisitiou few
months ago, for thirty thousand men and
additional arms. The call met with no
response whatever, and the suthorlties were
compelled to resort to a draft in order to fill
the requisition. The work of drafting COM
menced in Nashville the day of his depart
ure.
He estimates the number Of rebel troops
between Nashville and Bowling Green at
twenty eight thousand, He assures US that
they are miserably fed and badly clothed,
and that there is great deficiency in the
matter of arms. Many of them, too, are i'll,
and be thinks there are fully three thousand
five hundred sick soldiers in Nashville alone.
No attention is given to the payment OF
the troops, and the soldiers have been SO &C.
customed to that sort of neglect that they do
not expect to receive remuneration for their
service, being but too glad if they can obtain
sufficient subsistence to keep their souls and
bodies together.
Mr.. Barker was familiar with many Of the
boys who left this city and Joined the rebel
army, and relates some amusing episodes In
their histories down there. He says that
Blanton Duncan has fallen Into disgrace even
there, having given up the pursuit after mill
itary fame and adopted gambling as O pro-
fession.--LoaisViLle Journal, 7th.
