DEATH OLA DISTINGUISHED MAN Hon. Willie
p. Mangum, of North Carolina, died at his resi-
d nee, in Orange county, in that State. on
Saturday last, at an advanced age. For soll
years he had suffered with paralysis, and il j,
prob that the recent death of his only sou
from wound received on the field of Mannc
.sas, depressed his spirit to Il point from which
he could not rally. Mr.. MaDgum was once a
judge of the superior court Of North Carolina
and afterwards represented the State in both
branches OF the United States Congress. On
the death of President Harrison. and the install
iation Of Mr.. Tyler as President, Mr.. Mangum
was chosen President of the Senate, and for
the remainder of the term was, virtually the
Vice President Of the United States. He was
man of brilliant attainments, an eloquent
orator, and the possessor of those private
viftues which endeared him to his neghbors
and friends. The North Carolina Legislature
on receiving intelligence of his death, passed
suitable resolutions of respect to his memory

Kentucky who have taken up arms in defence
of the Federal Government is Colonel Jerry r
Boyle. of Boyle county. There is no man within
the limits of that State who is entitled to more
of the gratitude of the people than Col. Boyle.
To bis untiring energy and perseverance, in The
Union cause may be attributed the effective
organization of the Federal forces now in the

popularity of Colonel Boyle, he will have no

TREATMENTO OF FE MALE PRISONERS
IN WASHINGTON.

Ia noticing the release of Mrs. Phillips, her
sister Miss Levy, and her two daughters who
were confined in the house of Mrs Greenbow.
the " X. Y. z" correspondent of the New York
Express thus speaks Of their treatment:
"They were confined in the upper story OF
Mrs. g. house, in a room which had previous
| iy been occupied by negroes, unfurnished, and
full of vermin. They slept on shuck mattresses.
without sheets or pillows, and were deprived
| OF the most oTdinary means of comfort acc Ssi-
hle to the poorest OF our citizens The wall.
of the room it is true, were decorated with
pictures of blood shed by the victims of the
wrath OF its previous occupants in their hand
to hand midnight encounters with the stealthy
foe With this exception, the room was as
unattractive as any room could well be, out
side or inside of penitentiary."
We are at a loss to understand why q respec-
table correspondent should make a statement
so entirely devoid of truth, unless IL be that, for
some private reason, be desires to give the
provost marshal stab in the dark, or else. thai
he would attempt to bring the Administration
into disgrace, by imputing, te its officers, acts
of gross inhumanity.
The truth is, that the ladies in question were
taken to the house of Mrs. Greenhow, where
they remained under arrest until they We're dis
charged ; so that their prison, instead of being
as "unattractive Us a penitentary," was house
mxurantly furnished, as Mrs. Phillips is a lady
of exquisite taste. and could not tolerate in her
house the kind OF pictures so artistically de
scribed by *. Y. H." The officers in attend
ance did not interfere in the internal or domes.
tic arrangement of the establishment, their
t>business being to guard the outside against
intrusion from within or without The ladies
were not allowed visitors, but they formed a
little party Of their own, and of course mutually
contributed to each others happiness
Upon enlarging Mrs Greenhow's family by
the introduction OF the lady prisoners alluded
to, the provost marshal amply provided for all
their necessities in q style suited to their socia
position and to their tas .eS, and he never heart
from any of the ladies that they were aggrevet
by their treatment in any respect. They pro
cured their meals from one OF our fashionable
hotels, and as The Government paid for them
they We're not likely to omit in their order any
desired luxury.
Madame Tochman, who called upon us yes
terday TO announce her release. spcaks in the
highest terms Of the treatment she received al
the hands Of the Government officials. aud il
cannot be that the other lady prisoners. who
were treated with equal respect and courtesy
