EgIIs,iisEsa syissnathy,

We are informed thss in some CT tie
Kentucky towns, on the river below this
city, the people are considerably exercised
over reports that the rebel prisoners in our
hoipitals are badly enthusiastically suffer
for many comforts essential TO their resto-
ration to health. In some instances these
reports have been circulated by those who
know better. Caseyville, in particular, has
had its rebel sympathies deeply moved, and
two young ladies, but recently residents of
this city, started a subscription for the pur-
pose of raising little money with which
the rebel inmates of our hospitals might
purchase whatever they needed or desired.
The young ladies, no doubt, felt that it was
necessary for them to move actively in the
matter in order to demonstrate their sound
ness on the "vexed question" notwith-
standing their late residence in free State.
What success the ladies had we have no.
yet learned but we can inform those who
are disposed to contribute their money for
the purpose designed by these ladies, that
they need not be disappointed in learning
that it did not go as they intended.
The rebel prisoners in our hospitals are
well and comfortably provided for. They
have the same medical attention, and the
same food, as are furnished the Union SOL
diers, however undeserving of it they may
be. No money, howeve"- contributed exclu-
sively for he prisoners, will be permitted
to reach them. 1t will have to go into the
General Hospital fund, and be dispensed for
the benefit of all in the hospital.
Arrangements may have been made by
which this money can be struggled into
the hands of the prisoners through the in
strumentality of their friends in this city
though we do not believe it. Our impress
sion is that the Surgeons in charge of the
| hospitals have taken steps to prevent any
operations of that kind. We hope the
proper authorities will, if necessary, draw
the lines still closer. While the prisoner
ought to be treated with humanity, they
should be made to feel that they are rebels
