are intended lao doubt 10 paiiia;s their ewn
outrsges to tho living, and TO have an excuse

all Of piece with Inc Reend4lous stories that
have been fabricated in regard to the cruelty
exercised towards Federal prisoners In Rich
nond. Every ons knows that the very re
verse ia the truth, and that these men have re
ceived humane treatmen. from the first mo

in his address TO the people of Richmond On
hs rs,urn from the baths of Manassas,
Never be humble to the naughty, por
naughty to the humble sounded the key
note of the whole department of the South
ern people to their prisoners during this
war. On the other hand, not only our
prisoners of war in such filthy prisons as
Columbus. but unarmed citizens who have
fallen into their hands, have been treated
with gross inhumanity, their houses burned
their property destroyed, and their families
insulted What new horrors our enemies
have in contemplation, that they are now
putting forth fresh fabrications of Southern
cruelty I've cannot imagine. But the truth of
history will yet be vindicated, and the ia
gitious hypocrisy and heartlessness Of the in
vaders receive their just reward.
