THAT GAME or BR A0 PLAYED 0Uf
The whole, number, Of rebel prisoners held
By the Union forces before the battles Of
Roanoke, Fort Henry and Fort Donelsop,
was one thousand nine hundred and ninety.
The rebels held two thousand one hundred
and ninety eight Union prisoners, and thus
had slighsly the advantage Of u.s.; Now,
however, the scale 10 turned-we have bag
ged some two thousand prisoners at Roam
oks--s rebel Brigadier and several lesser
officers At Fort Henry and a Major Gener-
al, two Brigad,er Generals, 400 commits.
sioped officers, besides some 5000 pri.
vates At Fl. Donslson-- and thus hold very
large balance Of power. Therefore, it 10
not very probable that We shall hear any
moro threats Of hanging Col. Corcorau, and
other imprisoned patriots, after this. That
game works both ways, and ~ can hang
ten men to their one now, il we like.
