STARVING YA%EFE PRISONERS.
Tho sane paper publishes the annexed
monstrous lie:
The flag Of truce boat New York reached
Annapolis Thursday, direct from City Point,
with one hundred and cigh!y-Onc parallel men.
On the passage, eight nvn lied, GeiRdHysG0m
ard eighty ka;; to be transferred to tha Anna
polls Hospitals, being reduced to mere sko!c-
tons from the want orFooi aud owing to tie
inhuman treatment which they received while
in confinement ut RichmCEd. o. tie number

ing beyond which medicines and nNur!Sh-
Iuentj can avail nc:hiac Their desert pt;On
Of tho treatment lest0.ci upon them by the
rebel authorities IS narrowing 90 human feel!
ines, and make one think Of the diabnlism
which charactcrizcs the sava@cs Of Tie South
Sens and heather Africa. This is Tie superb:
Or Christianity and refined chiyalry cf South
ern rulers and Southern institutions
Tie idea Of Yankees, who dcyour beef by
the ton, being in a starving condition ~
Nearly brigade Of butchers are employed
night and iay.in killing bcevcs for these mis-,
cradle vagabonts, ard it's daily hauled
through cur streets b. cart loads. Maybe
King Abraham wants them TO lave cQy9'Gc
and sherry?
In commenting upon the above report, a
New York paper says:
Now what is 10 bc lonc? There ere ten
or twelve thousand Union soldiers .::!l held 20
this trial Of starvation at Richmond. They
must not be permitted to Perish. Bat what
is To be donc? That which Shout! E!::yc been
dona long ago. Thrse prisoners at Richmond
must be rescued by force Of aims and this
rln lie done The Amy of the Potomac can
do it, and do x ut :! Tofy short notice, il re-
Level Of tho duty Of Guarding Washington
for q time. And to relieve this army f'ir this
urgent duty or tho capture of Rirhinhn1 the
President has only TO call upon Pennsylvania;
AMI New York for fifty thousand militia for
sixty days service. In answer to such CALI
the troops. we believe, wGu!d be in Washing

! ave earnestly call upan President Lincoln |
TO move on in this way to the rescue nt our sarI-

! Doubtless the above gallant knight OF tlic
quill forgits that General Leo stands be-

enc Yankee prisoners now in this city. 4 large
number Of these prisoners CT war arc content
to remain where they arr, and consequently
