SECOND EDITION.
4 O'CLOCK p. M.
TEE FOOD FOR THE PRISONERS.

LAST evening the Chief of the Bureau Of Ex.
change and Prisoners, Maj. Gen. Hitchcock.
received from Brig. Gen Meredith, q copy of
letter addressed to him on the 18th inst BY
Robt. Ould, rebel commissioner of exchange
&c, announcing the determination of the rebel
War Department hereafter to receive no more
provisions from the North for our prisoners in
their hands.
We hear, from Fortress Monroe that he al
leges persistent +" utilization and abuse" with
reference to the manner in which the rebel
authorities have carried out their pledges upon
subject, as the reason why they break up the
arrangement; and promises, however, to de-
liver faithfully all the supplies in question that
had been received up to the time the letter was
written; and adds that hereafter our prisoners
IN their hands will be rationed precisel, as they
ration their soldiers in the field
Without doubt, the allegation OF uyillif'ca-
ton and Misrepresentation" put forward as
their reason for declining hereafter to receive
such supplies, is mere subterfuge; the real
reason being the pressure Of the jealousy of the
people of Richmond of the fact that through
the literally Of our Government and their in
dividual friends at home, the Union prisoners
in their hands were said to be living better
than any family could live in the rebel cap
ital. 1t will be remembered that their news.
papers have of late been bowling at great
rate over story that the supplies In question
enable the prisoners to set better tables for
themselves than grace any OF the Richmond
hotels.
We have to add that the rebel authorities
have certainly shown disposition of late TO
alter their starvation system of treating our
brave fellows unfortunately at their mercy.
Thus. they have summarily displaced sundry
Ct their prison officers charged with response.
bility for the heinous crime of nlaltreating
them, which has caused the arraignment Of
their military authorities in their Congress.
OF course We cannot know at this time what
our Government may feel called on to do in
view OF this change of the rebel War Depart
merts purpose, but take it for granted that
that will depend in great measure upon the
integrity with which they carry out their new
