Quite number of the prisoners have
their wives with them, and some few
their whole families. I would not have
the prisoners in our camps suffer for
want of shelter, or good wholesome food,
or be treated, in any respect, unkindly.
But the contrast in the condition and
treatment of the prisoners in our camps,
and those of our men who were captured
at Bulls Run and taken to Richmond,
and crammed into the tobacco houses,
it strikes me, is little too great.
NJ. Gunkle offered the following res
olution to the Senate, which was adopted;
Resozvea, That the Governor be and
is hereby requested to inform the SEN
/. What authority is invested in him,
by the General Government, over the
rebel prisoners at Camp Chase.
2. Upon what authority the rebel
officers, in rebel uniforms, now crowd
ing the hotels of Columbus, have been
released on parole, while the privates,
(of the two, less guilty and less danger
ous) are still confined in the prison at
Camp Chase.
3. Whether rebel prisoners at Camp
Chase arc being permitted to retain
their fromer slaves as servants, and if
SO, by what authority the same is per-
mitted.
The Governors response was substan-
TALLY as follows:
That tho care and custody of prison
ers was committed to the commander
at camp, subject to the Federal author
J tiles. The entire expense of camp was
betrayed by the General Government.
The prisoners, except three, came to
Camp Chase on parole, by order of Gen.
eral Halleck The Governor knows
not whether there are any slaves in the
prison. There are q number of coloyed
men among the prisoners, bHt all are
treated alike.
The struggle for United States Sen
ator still continues. Three joint conyen-
tions have already been held, without
makinga nomipstioE, and each remained
in session until eleven o'clock, and a
fourth convention is appointed for next
Thursday evening. But for the absence
| of two members, Mr. Wade would have
been nominated the last evening. lie
received Il votes, wanting three only
of nomination. The member who
voted blank has pledged himself to vote

and it is believed, pretty generally, that
he will BE- nominated in the sext con
yention. I.

five weeks, in company with tYo hun

the purpose of drilling, and learning to
do our duty as soldiers. During that
time your humble correspondent formed
many pleasant acquaintances, and was
the recipient of many kindnesses which
he never shall forget, Ny heart often
turns to those pleasant hours, and [
would that they were mine to enjoy
again. But, perhaps this will be de-
MED me. Such is the stern realities of
,oor. We met. We part, perhaps,
never more to greet each other upon
earth. Yet, we have the assurance, if
we 90 onr duty in this life, both AS cit
izens and soldiers, we shall meet each
other in that land where the inhabitants
kno,o no war, and where the weary are
forever at rest.

fathers, brothers, scps, aad Lived ones

March IL 1862


Editor Pomsroy Tslegraph.-SIR: As
you are a friend to moral, religious, and
all other reforms, both at home and
abroad, I presume that few items in
reference to tla progress Of tilfs7 ptase,
will Be well received Aside from COM
mon business, the ''Free Manual Labor
Institute has been the prominent fea-
ture in the progress of this place for
several years past There are some
three hundred acres Of land connected
with it, upon which, in beautiful stu
alton, is a large three story building,
put up at cost of several thousand dol
lars.
In consequence of hard times, i'm
proper management, or some other rea-
son, this institution under its former ar
rangerlent is o failure, and the property
will be sold to pay off claims upon the
land
Some months since at a meeting of
the "NIeigs County Christian co-opera-
tion," composed of delegates from the
congregations of Deciples in Meigs,
Athens, and Vinton ceunties,) a resolu-
tion was passed, setting forth, that, in
order to have young people thoroughly
Grained in the way they should go,'
there should be an "sthetical depart
ment' connected with institutions Of
learning; and as christian peonle have
their full proportion of children to be
educated, committee was appointed to
select a situation for an institution of
learning Of a high grade.
Attention was called to this "Manuai
Labor Institute" and as Albany is IA
healthy situation in central place, and
its inhabitants are people of temper
ate and steady habits, the committee re-
ported favorable; the quarterly meeting
of the 'sco=operssioE" was appointed.
and is now in session here
The probabilities are that "lIigh
School Will be started under the super
vision of this religious body, who wish
! to impart a knowledge Of the principles
; of that institution, whose first and great
command is: ':Thex shalt leHs tho
Lord thy God with all thy Might, mind.
and strength and the record is like
unto it, ''Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself
Was there ever time when such
work was more needed than now? While
onethird Of the people of this nation
have fallen among thieves, (half of 3
million slaveholdsrs) are striped Of FREQ
speech, free religion, and free press, are
being scourgcd by the blight of slavery
asd tbs tramp of contending a-nlies, and
left half dead, without. the influence Of
common schools; is it not time tha4
something was being done to awaken
fallen humanity to sense of their duty
to their fellow man, and picture to the
world the short sightedness of those wAa
are SO ingulfed in the love of g2fs, as
to be willing to ignore the whole slave
question, simply for the purpose of
saving the tro pence that would be their
proportion of the expense in relieving
the sufferer. May the L,stitutioa pros
per.
During the progress Of this nsesies
we have been entertained By several ser
mons from Elder Franklin, of Gin
cinnati. =7r
Quite a number of strangers were in
attendance gho Aa9s esjoyed the hos
pitalities of the people Of Albany, for
which they are tral5 thankful. -

A SONG FOR ALL TRUE AMERICANS


Rise ye sons of Old Columbia;
Gather to your country's call;
On your arms no longer slumber;
Rise to help her, one and all.
Cast away each feud and ia ction;
Brood not over wrong nor ILL;
Rouse your virtues into action,
For we love our country atill,
Hail Columbia Hail Columbia
Raise that thrilling shout once more;
Rule Columbia Rule Columbia
Conquer over sea and shore,
Should the traitors, full of bluster,
Como to take away our gain;
Then brave boys we'll make a muster,
And our liberty maintain.
And if foreign foes, with fury,
Tempt to take away our right;
Wait not them for judge nor jury
Up and at them, boldly hght'
For Columbia Just Columbia
Claims our chorus as before;
Pale Columbia Rule Columbia!
Conquer owe sea and shore.
See upreared our Holy Standard
Come around it, gallant hearts!
What! Columbia's ia me be siandersd,
AS by fault on our parts?
Let the cruel traitors threaten;
Let the mad Seceders come;
Fly to battle, what If beaten?
We can die for friends and home!
For Columbia, brave Columbia,
Wakes our chorus ever more;
Rule Columbia Rule Columbia!
Conquer oyer sea and shore.
Rise, then. patriots name endearing,
Let tho Union ever stand;
Raise the Stars and Stripes cheeringi
Glorious Banner of our land:
Rise ye sons of Old Columbiai
Rise our common veal to serve;
Rise while how the song inthraiis youj
Thrilling every vein and nerve:
Hail Columbia | Hail Columbia
Conquer as thou didst of yors;
Rule Columbia Rule Columbia!
Over every sea and shore.
