The FEDERAL PR1soNERs,-The constantly ncreas-
ing number of Federal prisoners in the hands of the
Confederate Government, has led to variety of sug-
gestons, with view to lessening the burden OF their
support That this is matter of some consequence
no one will deny and have heard that due consdera-
ton has been given to it by the authorities The occa
siona senapg off OF few hundreds has afforded some
relief, =, o.slrlbuting the guard duty, vel fur
nishiag more ready facilities for procuring the necessary
supplies of provisions; but there still very large
number in the Richmond prisons. The idea Of employ
ing them upon some profitable labor, has not me' .it
official appreciation perhaps because it is notn ueesrd
ance with the usages OF war; We have heard 1t limited
however. that the Government has purchased severa
acres of ground In the interior OF North Carolina,
will have large prison house constructed thereon 70
then accommodation when it will only be necessary t
have temporary depot for their reception in Richmond
The plan is good one and we hope this information
well founded.-Riehmond Dispatch, 9th INST
