Ingenuity Of Prisoners.

Our Federal prisoners, who have
been recently released from durance
vile, were deprived of all means Of OBJ
tanning money. Funds were sent to
them by their friends, but confederate
rascality opened their letters. and APP
propriated the contents. This was
more than human nature could stand,
and their ingenuity was set at work to
remedy the want. This was effected
by taking five cent shin-plaster--in
which these parts so greatly abound
placing it over paper, holding it up
to the window, and thus transferring
them, altering the S, to so; and in this
waythey succeeded in passingoff about
$4,000 worth of this trash among the
rebels and their officers. This was
diamond cut diamond, but they allie
waited aone of their many wants
thereby. Of the morale Of this trans
action we do not pretend to judge, bu

discount. This the stockholder refused TO
accept, and said that he would either take spe'

ors refused to do either, and the stockholder
immediately commenced a suit against them
