Treatment of our Richmond Prisoners.

Is it not strange that there should be so SINAI
an oulcTy Of indignation among the people 0
the North at the treatment which the Union
prisoners are receiving at the hands o. the rebel
authorities Of Richmond That they are being
literally starved to death by their remorseess CON
querors, there can no longer be single doubt !;
and that The provisions and clothing that have
been SO generously forwarded to them by relatives
and friends at home have been tfeacherousy
sezed and appropriated to the use Of the rebel ar.
my, is perhaps scarcely less doubtful But take
at the beSt even then the damning fact presents
a new and unparalleled horror in thu history Of the
worlds warfare. Prisoners have, at different
times, been insulted and scourged, as 10 the Brit
lsh Prison Ships. They have been smothered by
smoke in caves, as by the French in their con.
quest of Algeria. They have been sufocated by
foul air, as in the Black Hole of Calcutta and
they have been put to terrible tortures, as among
the savage tribes of America But among all
these mereiless infections, We find no instances Of
a deliberate resort by the conquerors to the ab
solute starvation Of their eaptiyes, either among
civilized or heather nations. AT the thought Of
such a monstrous outrage against humanity, the
beiligerentS OF oil nations, in all ages Of the
world, have universally reyolted and abstained.
And it seems to have been reserved for the self.
claimed refined and chivalrous people of the
Southern Coniederacy, yaunlingly lifting itself up
on its corner stone OF slavery to set the first ex-
ample Of this detestabe and hagitous piece OF
wickedness. And for them is not this inhmy
enough, even to exclude them from the pale Of
humanity ? But il to this dark picture We are to
add the inetiabe meanness and the dastardy
crime of stealing the provisions sent to the fam
ishing men, what language can adequately portray
the blackness OF the combined turpitude
But what are we to do P--to hold our peace
No else the very stones will cry out. No, lei
the cutlery Of indignation against this terrible
outrage resound from bill to bill, and from river
to river, till the aroused North shall rise up a,
one man, and all rush forward il need be, tc
snatch our dying friends from their tate, and
avenge their wrongs by pouring unstinted ven
geance on the heads of the fend.ik farago o
devils incarnate who have inflicted then.

Az important Order respecting the Residence
of and Credits for Enlisted Men.

VI dAll OlDuAb0 lJl 4AHlt5bth AGuf
The competition which has commenced among
the towns III this State, in offering large boun-
ties for the purpose Of obtain " recruits from
other towns where smaller bountics were being
offered, under the mistaken notion that the town
in which the recruit enlisted would get credit
for he volunteers, without reference to his real
residence, has called forth new order from Gen.
Washburn. Ia this order he settles this ques-
ton as follows
The rule prescribed by the Governor Of the
State in August, 1862 was substantially as fol-
lows If two or more towns claim the same
man, be is to be credited TO that town which
was stated by him, at the time OF enlistment, to
be his place Of residence This rule was extern.
syely published throughout the State, has been
ever since acted upon in credltiug recruits. was
again promulgated 10 General Order No. / da.
ted Oct %, 1868, and is the only practicable rule
on the subject. This rule will govern 10 all ca
SEES, which may arise under the present call for
volunteers, No order can be issued, which shall
restrict tho enlistment Of recruits, Or their own
statement Of their residence The enlistment
contract is the record, in such cases, aud there
Is no authority for receiving evidence 70 g mira.
dict it,
But the inequality Of the bountes offered b.
several towns IN the State has rendered necessa,
~ the exercise of the most perfect good faith by
the Seectmen Of the different towns in procur-
ing enlistments. Otherwise, the large towns
may bill their quotas, by means Of large bountiGs,
and the smaller towns be inevitably subjected to
a draft. The enlistment contract ought always
to show the real residence of the rec uit
II is therefore enJoHed upon the Selectmen Of
each town in this STATE, that they refrain from
enllsting, for the purpose OF filling their own
quotas, resident citizens Of any other town in
State, unless the quota Of such other town shall
have been previously filled by enlistment
Recruiting officers for new regiments, and Pro
yost Marshals enisting for old regiments, vii
also exercise extreme care IN aseertaning anC
stating the true residence Of recruits
According " this order, volunteers whose res
denee is IN towns which have filled their quotas
may be credited to the towns in which the,
actually enlisted Otherwise moi. And we sup
pose this rule will hold good in respect to vol
unteers for the veteran regiments The Stat
authorities have decided that these veteran vol
unteers are to be credited to their respectiy
towns on the deficiency in last Summers draft
and until that deficiency is filled, veteran VIII
may volunteer from such town, in the veteran
regiments, will be credited to the town in whio
bis re9l residence is, without reference to hi

The informal town meeting, called by the Sc.
lectmen, Friday evening, to ascertain what meas
ures the people of the town would deem il advi-
sable to adopt in order to raise troops to ill the

tended.
The meeting was called to order by Joel Eos.
ter, Jr one of the SeleCtmeu, and Hon. Rode.
rick Richardson was chosen Charmaa, and Albert
Clarke, Esq, Secretary.
The Chairman made a statement Of the object
of the meeting and expressed his hearty sympa-
thy with it, aud hoped the meeting would, il
they thought it necessary, pledge bounty to
those who should enlist to dll the deficiency in
the draft.
Mr.. Foster made statement respecting the
deficiency OF Montpelier, and on behalf of the
seleetmen, asked the advice of the town.
After some ca nest and stirring remarks by
Hon. Addison Peck, resolution was introduced
by Chas. Reed, Esq, which after some slight
amendments was adopted by unanimous vote.
The resolution is as follows
Resolued, That the Selec'men Of Montpelier be
requested to offer 1900 bounty to enlisted soldiers
residents OF Montpelier, 10 fiji the defcier cy in
the draft in said town, uati said deficiency is
filed.
After the adoption of this resolution the Sc.
lectmen were requested to call town meeting at
the earliest possible day, TO carry into effect the
action of this informal meeting, and the meeting
