B9rMoRE ABOUT WHAT a RrLEAsED PAS

BSSN MORE ABOUT WHAT a RELEASED Pals
oNER SAYs-Lieut. Freeman, of the First
Virginia Regiment one Ofthe released Rich
mOnd prisoners, says that the notes of the
banks of this city were par while the notes
of the other Virginia banks were at dis
count United States Treasury notes were
at premium and you couldn't get gold for
less than forty FIVE and fifty per cent. Con-
fCderate Scrip was abundant and whilst it
passed current those who held it were
charged two prices for everything they
bought. Shin-plasters from five cents up
to five dollars were as thick as leaves in
Valambrosia. Shin plasters were issued
BY everybody redeemable in baled hay,
oats, oysters, whiskey and everything else.
Even the BARRIERS issued them and made
them good for ii shave Some of the in-
genious boys in the prison, with pen aud
ink, counterfeited some fifty dollars of
Confederate scrip and passed it off before
the fraud was detected. The Richmond
papers set up terrible howl about this.
They SAID that while they were aware that
most of the Yankee prisoners were fresh
from the penitentiaries of the North, it was
not expected that they would pursue their
professions whilst in the custody of the
Confederate States. Lieut.. Freeman has a
specimen OF the finger rings which the
Yankee prisoners manufactured out Of beef
bones. The rings are most elegantly and
deliberately carved aud that such work
could be done with simple pen knife is
almost incredible. These rings were made
partly for amusement and partly for sale as
many were compelled to resort to means of
this sort in order to purchase food which
they could eat Lieut.. Freeman having
seen in a Richmond paper that the secesh
prisoners were badly treated iu wheeling
that they were not allowed enough food and

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March AIR. Barrela has
presented his credentials to the President,
and been received as Minister resident OF
the Republic Of Peru. The latter, in his
reply, said the United States had no en-
mites or animosities and no interest which
conflict with the welfare, safety, rights or
interests of any other nation. Their own
prosperity, happiness and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
are sought most safely and adVantageously
through the preservation, not only of peace
on their own part, but peace among all 9TH
er nations. But while the United States
are thus friend to all other nations, they
do not seek to conceal the fact that they
cherish especial sentiments of friendship
for and sympathize with those who, like
Themselves, have founded their institutions
on the principle of the equal rights of
men, and of such nations those more
prominently which, being neighbOrs OF the
United States, are cooperating with them
in establishing civilization aud culture on
the American continent. Such being the
general pI inciple, said the President, which
govern the United States In their foreign
relations, be assured, sir, that in all things
this Government will deal justly, frankly,
and if il be possible, even literally with
Peru, whose liberal sentiments towards the
United States you have so kindly ex-
pressed.
It will be reeollected that the former
Minister from Peru was dismissed by Blu.

that Government with certain imperative
demands of our own. The address oil
