The OLD SOLDIER AND THE NEGRO SEN
TINEL.-The Nashville Union says: There is
negro recruiting Office on Cedar street, Nash
vile, at the door Of which stands negro sem
tnel with his musket. A number of persons
standing around, on the Sd inst, took con-
siderable interestin noting the conduct Of white
officers who passed by. The sentinel saluted
every officer who came along and received the
usual recognition. At last Gen. Granger was
espied riding up the street, accompanied by a
lady, and he Immediately became the focus of
all eyes. What would he do? Would he re-
turn the salutation Of the sentinel of African
lineage? He did. Returning shortly after, by
himself, the sentinel saluted him the second
time. The General paused, put him through
brief lesson in the manual, and when he
brought him to "present arrns,' saluted him
and departed.

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF ENLISTED MEN.
have so far only given an outline of the
treatment and condition of the officers, which
in comparison was favored one. l cannot
describe the condition of the enlisted men, as
seen by the officers and learned from sources
at present nameless. Hunger, bad treatment,
and exposure, have done their work too surely
for many brave souls who have gone up to
testify at the bar of God to the barbarities
practised upon them. Many of them, also,
were shot by the guard upon the most irivo-
lous pretences. Belle Isle, our place of con-
finement is supplied with tents only sufficient
for part of the men; the rest were COM
PEELED, during the cold nights, to pace up and
down the island to keep warm, and while the
sun was shining during the day, they would
sleep. l have seen them marched through
the city barefooted, bareheaded, without coats,
and with only the remnants of other articles
of clothing.
have seen them brought from this island
in the evening, to ship them in the morning,
for City Point, so weak from hunger and dis
ease that they were unable to stand upon their
feet Never have l witnessed such misery
and want among any class of human beings.
NORTHERN NEGROES WHIPPED.
There are also there about one hundred free
negroes of the North, officers servants from
the army and navy. They are used at the
present about the prisons or upon the fortih-
cations around Richmond. One of the many
nights spent in Libby is deeply engraven upon
my mind. A free negro Of Philadelphia, cap
tured in the navy, nearly white, received three
hundred and twenty-five lashes in a room i'm
mediately beneath us, his loud cries and
peadings penetrating every part of the build
ing, as blow followed blow. He was then
wrapped in blanket saturated with salt wa
ter, and cast into one of the dungeons for
month or more. Such scenes and cries were
frequent. Those of our number who entered
there as advocates of slavery, or at least sym
pathizers, are such no more.
