sufIerIngs Of Our Prisoners at
Rfchm 0nd.
We subjoin the experience of Union
Chaplain in the military prisons at Rich
mond. An attempt has been made to
demonstrate that our prisoners in the
hands of the Rebels arc the recipients of
the same favors, the same rations, the
same medical attendance, that the rebels
themselves receive-does this look like
it l.
Having but recently been released from
participating m the hospitalities of Libby
Prison, under the dominion of rebel rule,
would join my testimony with others in
presenting true picture Of our unfortu-
nate officers, soldiers and citizens who
happen to be prisoners in Richmond.
Doubtless, many are ready to reject the
accounts given as being too highly
wrought; and l wonder not, for had
l not been an eye witness and vic
tim to the inhumanity Of some of their
officers, I, too, would have been incredu-
lous to the facts that such malignant
tyranny could be found in America among
professedly civilized people, and even
with those claiming to be our superiors.
[ was one of the unfortunate Chaplains
captured at Winchester, Va, June 18th,
whilst administering to the comforts Of
our sick and wounded in the hospital
Here, like most others, | had my horse
and baggage taken from me, go that was
left without change of clothing. Soon
afterwards ] was sent to Richmond in
charge of some officers wives, under the
assurance that we should at once be sent
through the lines.
On our arrival there we were examined
