When the rebel prisoners arrived at Camp
Douglas, some weeks since, there were never
seen moTc submissive, more completely
cowed-down and docile set Of men than they.
But change has been worked in them, more
apparent to persons who hare not visited
them since the day Of their arrival until lately.
In appearance they are the same. Their dress,
complexion, habits, &c, haTe not altered
But upon mingling with them as freely as up
Oh the occasion Of their entrance to the camp,
We were on Saturday surprised at the change
that had been worked in their minds and their
bearing toward visitors. Then they were po-
lite, atfable, submissive, and many Of them
free to say they were Union in
sentiment but had been coerced into
fighting against their country, Of which action
they were heartily ashamed. Now they are
upright, curt, belljgcrent, and the man who
will say he was wrong and feels sorry for his
acts-can only be dug out from the wards Of
the hospital, He is searched for in the har
racks in vain. Many Of them are loud.mouthed.
blatant, opcn rebels, and the spirit of yio.
1ence in them has been famed into blaze.
The question is, what has wrough this change :?
There Is but one answer to this Interrogation.
