OF the reckless and outrageous conduct Of the
rebel guards, Mr.. Ely speaks in terms Of the
utmost censure. He states that the prisoners
had not been in the tobacco warehouse fifteen
minutes before a bullet was fred into the win
dow Of one Of our prisoners who had ventured
TO put his bead outside, and that in this way
seven men had been wan5only killed. This con-
duct met with severe censure from all who were
aware Of the tAcl :, but he was not appfised that
any action hSd been taken to punish the ofen-
ders by the rebel authorities.
Ma. Ely has not tha sli shtest doubt of an ex-
tended and deep Union feeling in Richmond,
and says il a national army were within ten
miles tf Richmond the National d,g would be
hung from hundreds Of windows in tho rehsl
capital. Nevertheless, an utter reign Of tcrr v
prevails, ard no public Expression can be giyen.
Mr. Ely brings a list with him Of 1900 Un-
ion prisoners held In the South whose release
ho will labor to procure.
Tho above would convey the impression that
Mr.. Ely remains unchanged in his convictions
of tho success Of the Federal cause, but from
other sources We learn that the worthy Com
gressmen has become quite a convert to rebel
views, thinks we cannot conquer them and Is
willing to lot the southern states 60
