charge Of Captain John E. Mulford Company X, Third
regiment New York Volunteers arrived here at
eight O'Clock this morning. having board all Of Popes
officers, numbering nney-seven. captured In the She

al Of whom have been paroed future exchange Capt.
Milford up seventy rebe and delivered them over
Robert Ould at yarna Besides Pope's officers, thirty
three soldiers and eighty and employees taken on
the battle field Centrevie, last month, were re-
leased and brought down by this Nag Of truce With the
exception of few citizens, the Richmond prisons arc
empied of all the Union prisoners
II is hardly TO be wondered at that the unfortunate
officers tell narrowing tales Of the treatment they were
subjected at the hands Of the rebels Every man who
has returned Richmond since General Prince and his
companions have been there has testified 10 the cruelty
practised the unfortunate captives Not only did
they undergo cruel treatment by imprisonment in the
filthy and loathsome tobacco warehouses but they
were starved. No matter how high the rank Of an
officer was the meanest private OF the rebel army would
wantonly insult him. Even General Prince formed ex
cepton the rule These prisoners have suffered more
hardships during their short captivity than those who
confined for upwards Of year in the South The
spirit Of revenge thus cherished viii stimulate them TO
deeds on the battle field which will be most severe
ly felt by the heartless and barbarous rebels.
Had acted properly these poor sufferers
might have been released long and by this time
have been again serving their country at the head OF
their commands But red tape as in the case Of the Bull
prisoners, paramount to humanity, and all ap
peaIs from the vermi eatensueres fell unheeded upon
the ears Of those who had the power TO effect their
lease.
All honor, then to Major General Dix, who had the bold
ness the Gordan knot OF red tapeism and collect
transports sufficient bring down 100 prisoners on his
own responsibility who had already become burden TO
their capors and this time he has also stepped m regard
less of circumstances and for the sake OF humanity scnt
for the nmured sufferers treated 80 harshy on account

ferers will dy forget the generous and maRly actions
