If we had the ordering of matters in

commissioners with poll books to every reg

and ask the soldiers to record their votes
for the candidates of their choice who
were voted for last Tuesday. We're this
done the soldiers from Ohio would return
a majority of not less than $4,000 against
the tory ticket; and the soldiers of Indiana
at least 10000. Those votes might not be
received by the State canvassers. Never
theless they would exercise an immense
influence for good. They would prove to
the world that the tories do not rightfully

The Horrible Bnrbaritics of the Rebels
General Prentiss' ExPerience---Eight
Ohio Privates Hung.
General Prentiss, who was captured at
Shiloh, has been exchanged. In speech at
Washington, on Friday night, in reply to
a serenade, he gave narrative of his ex-
perience among the rebels. His story
fully confirms all that has previously been
said Of the barbarities and atrocities COM
mitted by the rebels. The following para
graphs give samples of the treatment he
and others received:
With nine others, General Prentiss
undertook to escape at Madison, but failed.
The ten we're brought back and thrust
into a dungeon sixteen feet square, the
only light coming through an aperture
six inches wide. After eight days oonfne-
ment, they were released on the certificate
of physician that forty y-eight hours more
would permanently ruin their constitu-
tions.
Lieutenant Bliss, of the I'd Michigan
artillery, was shot by the guard nnder
these circumstances
He was buying milk at the limit Of the
prison when he was ordered back. ain a
moment" he answered, Gas soon as my
bowl is filed" As he turned the guard
shot him dead. "Pretty well for darned
old shotgun" shouts the fellow. Eight
privates in an Ohio regiment were hung at
Atlanta. They had been sent by General
Mitchell to do little work on the erailroad
and telegraph lines of Alabama. Coming
upon an engine near Atlanta they conclud-
ed to take it to expedite their return, but
unfortunately forgot to cut the telegraph
lines, by the use of which q force was or
dered from Chattanooga to intercept them.
The circumstance was noted at the time by
the Southern papers. The gallant OhiOans
were Willing away their leisure hours in
prison, with a game of euchre, when the
guard led them to be hung, without
a moments preparation. General Prentiss
found more loyal white men in the capital
of South Carolina than elsewhere, and
very few at any place more loyal, while
the women and many negroes were loyal.
OF these last many were being driven
South. At Petersburg there were a thous-
and in one pen. Everywhere in the South
the spirit of bragadocia Gbounded. They
were sure they would whip the Yankees,
but they did not seem to like the proclaim
ation-did not see what right Lincoln had
to free all the negroes. General Prentiss
is anxious to have an independent COM
mand, officered by the men who have
served in Southern prisons, receiving
neither pay nor subsistence from the Gov
ernment, but living upon the enemy and
performing exploits similar to the late one
Of Stuarts."
