relllna the Truth ofRaeh othsr.

The Ohio Statesman and CRISIS are just now
at loggerheads, and in their bitterness are in
dnlging in truthful descriptions Of each other.
The Crisis asks why man Of ManypeDnys
"pretensiORs y should expose himself as a de-
liberae falsiher," aud the Statesman retorts by
alleging that: "Truth and caOdor have DO place
in Mcdary's creed, and they are made by him
10 give place TO Discrimination and fslsehOOd
with ahcrity, and without blush, whenever
thereby he may momentarily, in his view, sub
serve his purpose" "
The Crisis advises Nanyperny 40 bury tha
Statesman in his stolen canals, and the States
man naively ,iquires why should Gov. Media
ry he so reckless /" They know each other
like book, and hence their mutual statements
may be accepted "a tie literal truth, II they
will only keep on doing so they viii perform .
public service for which all hoocst aud loyal
citizens viii long hold them in grateful remem4
brance. ~

bellion. giving them the right to all their
property except in slaves. The President
has already signed pardon for Hon Z.

mission Of brigadier general in the rebel
service. The Baltimore American says:
The question has already arisen whether
the rebel prisoners in our hands under the
rank Of Colonel may not avail themselves
Of the amnesty offered by President Lincoln
in his proclamation. It is believed that
three-fourths of the rebel prisoners now
held by us will gladly accept the terms of
the amnesty if it includes them, and the
question thus becomes one of much i'm

We were informed by refugee who
left Richmond on the 7th instant. that he
has known the rebel guard at Belle Isle to
break open many boxes sent for our suffer-
ing soldiers at that place, under pretence
of searching for contraband goods, and pur-
loin numerous articles therefrom, and con-
tinue to do so without word of rebuke
from those in command. This is no more
than might have been expected from
the first and does not surprise us. but now
that this and many other ways of withhold
ing the articles from the prisoners have
leaked out, and the authorities charged
with their duplicity, they fall back on their
chiyalric dignity and refuse to receive any
more for them, avowipg that these charges
were ian imputation Of their honor" 1t
would enlghten us very much if some per-
son would inform us where they found
their honor again, as we always supposed
that when they turned traitors to the best
government in she world, their last spark
Of honor had fed But under the pretence
that their sham honor is violated by our
government, they have fallen back on their
old resource of starving our soldiers to
death, for the purpose of forcing our govern
ment into an unjust exchange. The only
course that should be pursued in this case
is retaliation, and the sooner it is carried
into effect the sooner will our prisoners in
their hands be released. Rebel sympa-
thisers have great repugnanoe 10 our
authorities retaliating ON the prisoners we
take; they cry lit is not the soldiers fault
that our men are treated so, it is the fault
of the authorities at Richmond We would
ask who is supporting those rebel authori-
ties, it the rebel soldier is not? Take from
them their supporters and starve them for
mouth or two and they will not be so anx-
ious TO fight for government that is lead
ing them to starvation instead of milk and
honey" We do not wish TO dictate to our
government, for we suppose that they know
what course is the best to pursue, but it
grieves us to hear of the cruelties to which
our fellow soldiers are subjected in rebel
dungeons, and then to look at the other
side Of the picture. We hope to soon hear
of change in this business.
