The Yankee anthoritier, since they have the
advantage in prisoners, have kept our men in
their hands confined in miserable, unhealthy
prisons, and refused to exchange them for
prisoners in our hands. Among the prisons
10 which they have been immursd is Fort
Philadelphia. 1t is represented to be one of
the most uncomfortable and unhealthy places
Ia which men ever were conf ned. 1t is q
scene of mire and filth. The men lie on the
muddy ground and drink water IRON the
muddy oieterns, and are daily wastiOg away
their health and strength Tn Saturday the
enemy sent by flag of truce near seven hun.
dred wounded and sick-some of shem front
this loathsome prison. Nine Of them died be-
fore they reached Petersburg.
What this nation is to do towards an enemy
who has proved himself utterly unfseliug and
brutal, it Is difficult to say. The Yankee Gov
ernment has violated the cartel for tho sx.
change Of prisoners whenever they could do
90 to cur injury and their advantage, and theie
oruelties increase just in proportion to their
power to irfiict them. How they are to be
brought to sense of what is due to civiiiza.
ton and humanity 10 q question hard TO an.
swer Retaliation is the only mode that eug-
gests itself But how, and to what extent,
aud when, are questions that require the
graves. and wisest dsiiberation. One great
victory, indeed, would sn!ighten the frieid
and heartless Yankee not q little on the sub.
ject Of humanity, and this We tr1st we shall
have ere long.

George w. Logan, commanding post at Har
the enemy's gunboats on the l0sh of May las:
This engagement was briefly noticed by us
shortly after its occurrence, but the facts be-
fore US at that time ena lied us to convey a
very inadequate idea of the real character of
the engagement. Harrisonburg is on the
Washita liver, and is defended by small for
li6caiion known as Fort Bsauregard
At daylight on the morning OF the 10Th the
ensmy's gunboass were observed approaching
this fort, and preparations At once made for
their reception. When they arrived near
enough to commence the attack, yawl was
sent out bearing flag Of truce, demanding the
unconditional surrender Of the place. Capt.
Thos. o. Benton and Adjutant Jas. g. Blanch
ard were deputised by Col Logan to respond
that the point would be defended. Half an
hour after the boats opened FIRE upon the fort,
gradually mnvinx u3 the river. and after they
had continued their firing for about thirty min
utes our signal gun was fred, and q regular
fire was opened by all Of our guns in position.
After receiving oar iifs the enemy drew off
some distance, but continued from their long
range guns to throw shell into the fort and the
town Oar batteries reserved their fire untii
they advanced and renewed the attack, when
our guns were again opened upon them. The
boats remained in range until 81 O'Clock P M.
when they refreshed down the river, evident
ly injured.
Ths commandant of the post, in his report,
compliments the gallantry of Capt. Benton,
Lieut. Blanchard, who wac the Adjutant OF
