The Starved Union Prisoners.

The statements of the Union surgeons
just released from Libby Prison give sad
picture Of the barbarities Of the rebel au-
thorities at Richmond, and of the dreadful
mortality among the Union prisoners in
their hands.
The prevailing diseases among them arc
diarrhoca, and typhoid pneumonia. The
average mortality in the three hospitals and
in the tobacco factories. ard upon the island
arc about fifty per day or fifteen hundred
monthly. thousand are under treatment
in the three hospitals, and the rebel sur
geons say the number of patients are only
limited by the small accommodations. AND
NIL this large amount of sick, to say moth
ing of the well, are receiving only corn bread
and street. potatoe8. Meat is only furnished
to few officers in Libby hospital.
hefirst demand Of the poor creatures from
the island was always fer something to eat
Selfrcspect gone, hope and ambition gone,
half clad and covered with vermn and filth.
many of them are toe often beyond all reach
Of medical skill. In ono instance the am
balances brought sixteen TO the hospital, and
during the night seven fthese died. Again,
eighteen were brought, and eleven of them
died in twenty four hours Atanother time
fourteen were admitted, and in single day
ten of them died. Judging from what we
nave ourselves seen and do know, we do not
hesitate to say that, under treatment of
systematic abuse, neglect and semi-starva-
ton, the numbers who are becoming per-
manently broken down in their constitu-
must be rcckoned by thousands.
The rebel daily papers in general terms
acknowledge the truth Of all we have affirm
ed, but usually close their abusive editorials
by declaring that even such treatment is
better than the invading Yankees justly de-
serve
The Erdmtp6r recently closed one of its
articles about the prisoners by eulogizing
this system of semi-starvation and exposure
sswell calculated to dispose of these poor
creatures.
Recently several hundred prisoners per
day were removed to Danyille In two in
stances we were standing in view of them
as their ranks filed past. twas sad sight
to see the attenuated features and palid
faces OF men a few months since robust and
in vigorous health Numbers were without
shoes, nearly all without blankets or over
coats, and not man did we see who was
well and fully clad.
To the honor Of the brave sufferers be it
said, with heroic fortitude under all their
sufcrings, they spurn the idea that the
government has forgotten them, but hold
fast their confidence in the final and speedy
success Of our cause
mans uhumanty to man makes countless thousands
mourn"
But there is a Judge, seated on a great
and mighty throne, who will judge the do
ings of men in his own good time.
Of late an organized system of relief has
been brought about, by which clothing, pro-
visions, etc, are sent to them on the truce
boats from Fort Monroe, the rebels agreeing
10 deliver them to specified agent prisoners,
and by them distributed to those in need
