Rebel Barbarities.

The sufferings of the unhappy prisoners
are set forth in most painful terms by the
reports of the surgeons who have been re.
leased from Libby Prison. The mortality
in the hospitals amounts to fifty day, and
the food supplied to the sick is wholly mad
equatc and unfit for the patients.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press says:

the details of the cruelty and scous'drellsnl NJ
of the Rebels are revealed. Human lnldSl'
nation cannot realize, much less attempt to
give picture Of the awful suffering of the
more than twelve thousand patriots confined
in the several Rebel prisons. The poverty
of the Rebels themselves, the privations OF
their own people, the starvation of their
troops, might excuse them when they failed
to supply the ordinary necessarics of life to
the Union soldiels, but when tho stealing Of
clothing and provisions sent forward by pri'
vate Union subscriptions as well as by Gov
ernment, is connived at, if not defended,
there can be no limit to the indignation of
our own people, and to the scorn of the
people of other lands, against the authors
of atrocities which have no parallel in the
history Of the war.
Corpus Christi was captured by the Union
forces under Gems. Banks and Dana, on the
10th ult., and at last accounts the place was
in the peaceful occupation of our troops. The
march was made overland from Brownsville
Little opposition was made to the advance
OF our army.
BY the seizure of Brownsville, Point Isa

CONGRESS-.

On Monday next Congress meets,
and the Presidents Message and Reports
of Cabinet officers will divide the attention
of the public with the news from the battle.
fields. In view Of the frightening prospect
that the present Congress will see the col
lapse Of tho Rebellion, it bids fair to be one
of the most important that ever assembled
in America. The broken fragments of the
Negro Oligarchy will have to be gathered
up and removed for ever from the path OF
civilization, and the whole broad domain of
the Union converted into one unbroken land
Of Freedom, which every one but knave or a
fool must see is the only basis on which ia
establish peace. prosperity, and safety for
the future of the Americae people. We
hare had experimenting enough with the
" corner stone " Of tho " Southern Confed-
cracy" O. and instead Of its being made a
corner stone or having any place whatever
assigned it in the structure Of the national
edlice, it will be cast into perdtion, never
again to blight our fair land and bring the
horrors of war upon this people.
We send to the National Legislature from
this State tour members out Of five, pledged
TO the policy of Emancipation, and woe be-
tide the man who faters when he is called
to record his vote for banishing the monster
Slavery.

EXCHANGE OF PRlsONERs.--Gen Hitch
cock, the officer who has had the general direc-
ton Of matters referring to the exchange of our
prisoners, has written highly important letter
upon the subject. This mystery which has Ell
veloped tho questions he confused and con-
Trajectory statcmentsS-. ..ich have been made
about it, are for the first time cleared by this
letter. Our authorities, it would seem, are not
to blame for the stoppagc of exchanges. They
have proposed to tile Rebel Commissioner to ex-
change, man for man, all the prisoners now
held in the South. but this the Rebels have re-
fused to agree to- In all, we hold forty hons-
and Rebel prisoners, while the Rebels hold but
thirteen thousand Union prisoncrsi and they in
sist that the exchange shall be general that
is to say, that we shall deliver up to them all of
the forty thousand prisoners in our possession,
and receive in return about thirteen thousand
men, leaving about twenty seven thousand men
who might, for few days, be considered on pa
role not to take arms unless duly exchanged. Be-
side the difficulty above Indicated there are
several others, one of which General Hitch
cock discusses vigorously and at leugth.- -
In accordance with the bloody and barbar
Gus proclamation issued by JEFF. Davis in
September of last year, the Rebels have per.
sstently refused to deliver up for exchange
any of our white officers captured while in
command of colored troops, or any Of the
colord sodisrs who have been taken prisoners

The CAPTURE OF MISSIONARY RIDGE.

THE CAPTURE OF MISSIONARY RIDGE,
Washington despatch to the Tribune says /:
Very full semi official dispatches descrip-
tive Of the operations of Wednesday in
front of Chattanooga have been received
here. They speak in terms of the most
enthusiastic admiration of the conduct of
the troops, and particularly of that of the
divisions of Generals Wood and Sheridan
now embraced in the command of General
Hooker. These men, excited by their sue
cess, in carrying the rife pits on the slope
OF Missionary Ridge, which they had been
ordered to take at all hazards. rushed up
the precipice beyond and carried the crest
OF the hill, capturing some thirty cannon
and thousands of prisoners.
Neither Grant nor Thomas believed that
the hill could be carried by a direct attack
No orders for the assault were given, and
the officers were literally swept along in the
current of the soldiers under their command.
The hill, beside being excessively steep,
was eniladed by artillery, both to the right
and left, and the men were also exposed to
a heavy fire from the rifle pits in 'front.'
This was regarded by the Rebels as the
strongest part of their lines, as indeed all
but impregnabe, and Generals Bragg and
Breckenridge were so confident that they
should be able to hold their ground, that
.hey staid almost to the last, aud narrowly
escaped being taken prisoners.
Notwithstanding the terrible fire to which
the assaultlng columns were exposed, the
casualties were extremely small.

OUr next L. $. Senator.

One OF the most important duties that
our next Legislature will have to perform

Maryland has sent too many such men as
