The Prisoners of Fort Wagner.

The reports come from various sources that
the prisoners of the 54th Massachusetts,,
taken at Fort Wagner, were not included in
the cartel of exchange agreed upon by Gen.
Gilmore and the rebel commander. If this
cruel discrimination against these men who
led the bloody assault on Fort Wagner, is
confirmed, it is an outrage no words can
sufficiently condemn. 1t is not the first
time that officers of the government have
failed to protect soldiers who have served
it under circumstances of peculi ar hardship.
1t is the first time, however, that soldiers of
Massachusetts, enticed into military service
by promises of protection, have been aban-
doned by their officers in the first hour
of their need. If the same discrimination
had been shown against the sixth Connect
lieut., or any other New England regiment
less conspicuous in the battle, all New Eng
land would have been on fire with indignation
till the officer committing such an offence
against justice was called to account, and the
effect Of his wrong in some manner removed
The pledged faith and honor of this state is
insulted and outraged while soldiers whom 1t
tempted into service are carelessly abandoned
to the caprice of their inveterate enemies.
Better call them home at once, and at least
keep faith with them in that way, than entrust
them to commanders who have no respect for
their rights. In December last, jeff Davis
issued a proclamation denouncing slavery or
death to all negroes taken in arms under the
national flag, and death to all officers
commanding them. That proclamation
was carried into effect at Vicksburg, at
Port Hudson, at Murfreesboro, at Milliken's
Bend, at Lake Providence, at Galveston, and
at how many other places no man can tell
yet the government has not TO this hour taken
measures Of redress and retaliation. We have
no right thus to send men into the field to be
murdered, or worse than murdered, if the for
tune of war throws them into the hands of
the rebels. 1t is unspeakable meanness, as
well cruelty, to accept man of them be-
fore we are prepared to throw around them
the same protection that is extended to all
other soldiers.

SHOCKING CATAsTRoPHE-A FAMILY OF
SEVEN Persons DROWNED WHILE GOING TO
CHuRCH.-A shocking catastrophe occurred
Sunday morning in Black River township,
Lorain county. Mr.. Herwig, Protestant
German, with his wife and five children, set
out about s o'clock in the morning in their
wagon to attend church at Amherst About
an hour atterward, as some men were crossing
the bridge at Beaver Greek, they saw two
horses struggling in the water The neigh
bors were alarmed, and the horses were ex-
treated. When the carriage was drawn out,
the bodies of Mr.. Herwig, his wife, and the
five children, comprising the entire family,
were found in it quite dead. 1t is supposed
that in crossing the bridge the horses became
frightened and backed OIL into the river,
where, becoming entangled in the carriage,
all the seven were drowned. The oldest of
the children was a girl about fourteen years
of age Mr.. Herwig has married sister in
this city, whose name is not known.-C lcse-

was enthusiastically received, and applauded
throughout. He talked like man in earnest,
who cares nothing for party, but who is in
tensely interested in the welfare Of his coun-
try. The drift of his speech was similar to
that delivered at Carbonate yesterday. He
argued it is the duty of every one to stand by
the government. He most numerically con-
dennis all sympathizers with the rebellion, and
those who find so much fault with the presi
dent, army, the war, and everything else ex-
cept JEFF. Davis & Co. He argued the con-
stitutionality of the war and its measures, and
shows the hypocrisy of those who seeso much
that is unconstitutional in the acts of the adj
minisration, but say nothing against the I'M
constitutionality of secession and acts of re-
bellon.

Pirates CoaIing at Bermuda.

New YORK, July 3l.-A letter from Ber-
muda dated July 22d, says the pirate Flori-
da is still in port, her departure having been
delayed by the refusal of the naval authorities
to furnish her with fuel, but she is now Getting
a supply from the rebel steamer Harriet
Pinckney, and will sail in day or two on
her voyage of destruction. Any American
vessel in these waters could have made an
easy capture of her, as her sheetng has been
defective. The coal she is now getting is of
an inferior quality, and must also affect her
speed.

Morgan with information and plans for his
late raid The route was carefully chosen
through the sections where the Vallandigham-

much as Morgan appropriated the horses of
his copperhead friends as well as those of
Union residents, he failed to produce that up
