About Prisoners of War.

The letter of JET. Davis to President Lin
coin in regard 10 prisoners Of war, raises u
question of good deal Of deiicacy, but of
still more importance, and which will very
speedily demand decisive answer. He states
that ii the privsteers of the Savannah, now
in custody in this city, are executed or i'm
prisoned as pirates. he will Fetaliate on our
prisoners who may be in his hands. II, on the
other hand, they arr treated as prisoners of
war, he is ready to regard and exchange them
a. such
Davis unfortunately has il IN bis power TO
make this threat effective lie has ia his
hands 8 very large number Of our prisoners,
and will unqnestionably retaliste upon them

priyateers President Lincoln, in his preela-
nation. has announced bis purpose 10 treat
all who may accept letters OF marque and re-
prisaI from the Confederate Government, IS
pirates. and the general sentiment OF the
public would unquestionsbly sustain him in
so doing. Il cannot be eoHeealed, however,
inat the current OF events may render Ii
necessary TO set with caution in this matter,
ard not take position which mey augment
greatly the horrors. great enough at best, of
this civil war.
By taking and holding prisoners at an, we

benefit OF those usages which obtain among
