HOW OUR PRISONERS ARE TREATED
At THE NORTH.

AT TIM NO6Tds
We are indebted to 81. r. b. member Of
the I'd Kentucky Cavalry, Of Morgan's captured
command, for an insight into the treatment OF
Confederate prisoners incarceratec at the North.
This gentleman was captured with Morgan's COM
maad and sent to Camp Douglas, Chicago. He
escaped the guardianship Of the Yankee authori-
ties short time since, journeyed on to Louisville,
and thence to Paducah, finally crossing the Yam
kee lines near Memphis. Warm friends OF the
South in Chicago, Louisville and Paducah aided
him on his hazardous route to the South. -Four
or five hundred of Morgan's command have made
their escape since confined, r. great many having
gone to Canada, where they will remain until aid
ed from home and enabled to return to take up
arms again for the cause. Many bave already
come through in order to again enter the lists in
our struggle and among this number is our CORES
pendent. We commend to the attention OF those
in arms the statement of the prisoner. II they
are not able to see, from his candid statements nom
experience, that death itself is preferable to cap
ture, we are wasting words in vain. This soldier
says:
? 81 would advise my comrades to make it the
last the very last resort, to surrender themselves
to the enemy. The iHdignities, barbarities and
suferings which they are subjected to are little
preferable 10 death. Their blankets, money, over
coats, and all personal property, are taken from
VucIu, anu tHSJ otfipPcu va SUN Siotn'"b WI.
protect them from the chill Northern blasts of
winter, in order to force them from necessity to
take the hated Yankee oath; aud even the most
strenuous exertions are made to force them in the
Yankee army-the promise of their enlistment in
the enemy's ranks being almost the Only alterna-
tive from freezing to death.
'Not long before left the prison there was an
occurrence took place that shows their cowardly
manner of treating defenceless and unarmed men.
About the time the battle of Chickamauga was
taking place, their flag, erected in the centre of
the prison square, blown to pieces by the
wind and fell to the ground. About twenty of
our boys who were prisoners witnessed ir, and con-
sidering it omnous of ill success to the banner Of
invasion, gave lusty cheer. Shortly after Yam
kee captain made his appearance with a squad of
armed men, aud ordered the prisoners into line.
He then called them scoundrels and cursed them
for some minutes, using the most abusive language
his vile tongue could utter, and wound up by or
dering the guard to FIRE upon them. When the
guard refused to execute the infamous order, this
pink Of Northern chivalry again resorted to his vo-
cabulary of abusive epirhes, and announced. that
if the victims of his wrath offended again, he
would turn the garrison loose upon them, and not
be responsible for the result"
Such is the story of one who has experienced
imprisonment in Northern bastile.-MObile Reg
ister.

"a Some of>the Madrid Journals publish the

una few, days back the scene of fearful in.
cident. A lion belonging to travelling mauagerie
escaped from its cage and rushed through the
streets, attacking every that it met. Three
persons asere killed the terrible animal, and
about dozen received injuries. The number of
victims would have been more considerable if the
lion had not perceived butchers shop into which
it sprang, enticed by the meat displayed at the
door. The butcher had the presence of mind to
close his shop, and the owner of the lion being in-
formed of the detention of the aDanal fetched one
of his cages and applied it to the shop door. The
lion being satisfied rushed out as soon as the door
opened, and was caught in the cage
EXPENSIVE UNDERFAKINGs.-The New York
Daily News, of the 10th instant, in an editorial,
says that the powder, bah and she'll alone, which
have been used in the attempt to take Charleston,
cost the United States Government seven millions
of dollars and the whole cost of the various expe
ditions fitted out against the city has amounted 20
upwards of thirty millions of dollars. The cost
will probably be doubled, adds the News, and the
undertaking viii be abandoned.
1t further adds, that enough has been expended
in attempts to take Richmond to build half dozen
cities of the size, and almost as many lives lost
as would populate the whole of them.
