"Two citizens of Memphls-H.a L.
Peres, brother of the minister of that
name, and Mr.. Wolf, his brother-in-law
went to the mouth of White River, to
purchase, cotton, and stopped with
planter there At very late hour in
the night band of guerrillas came to
the house, seized them, robbed them of
their money, burned their cotton, and
took them into the forest, about four
miles distant, where they were told they
must die.
"They plead for their lives, but their
prayers were of no avail to the demons
surrounding them. Both sank to their
knees, imploring their captors to spare
| their lives. Their answer came in the
reports of two guns. Both fell-Mr.
Peres pierced to the heart, and his com.

wounded. eaF ~
"After the shots were fred, the inur-

preparatory to leaving, made an exami-

the former was dead, they left him; but

A. Horrible Picture.--MOre Starved
Union Prisoners,

On the 18th ult 800 more of starved
prisoners reached Annapolis, Nd Dur
ing the Eve following days 81 died.
They all agree as to the horrors of that
Internal den in Richmond. 1t. was
thought that none of the 800 men would
ever fully recover One of the men be-
longing to Kentucky weighed ITO lbs,
when in health, but now weighs but go
lbs, and was still alive. They say that
the articles sent to them from the North
are, as far as they know, delivered, but
soon they are all stolen from them
Some of the poor fellows are so far gone
that even a spoonful of oyster soup will
not remain on their stomachs The
Philadelphia Press, of the 24th, contin-
ues:
On last Saturday week there were g.
800 of starving men, from almost every
State in the Union, on Bell Island, in an
Enclosure containing not more than three
acres, or in other words there are about
1000 men to the acre. Many of them
are half nude, with no covering to shield
them from the cold wind. mists- or rain.
If they find room to lie down, it must be
in the mud. Most of the water which
they get to drink, is obtained from small
holes which they dig with their hands in
the mud The water settles in these
holes, aud though it is not fit for beast
to drink, yet these martyrs to their coun-
try swallow it at times greedily. s-
The prisoners are put on half rations,
being bucket of soup every three days,
made of old beans with the hulls on, the
meat being full of worms. Beside this
horrible treatment, there is much bru-
tality visited upon them. Even at the
Libby Prison soldier tainted from star
vation, and, falling against window,
his arm passed through A brutal SEN
tinel shot the arm, and the already atten-
uated limb was amputated by a person
calling himself a surgeon.
Of the prisoners who arrived on the
18th, there is one who once was fine
specimen of humanity, who had many
good and charitable deeds he was well
educated, intelligent and influential.
Now he is a moving corpse, his eyes far
gone in the sockets, the balls entirely
dead, yet he retains his senses Other
| poor fellows are crazy, and those who
have slightly recovered their appetite are
ravenous-their wild rawlings are SO ap
palling as to make the stoutest hearts
shudder. ~ ~
But it is useless to enlarge upon the
picture. The hard-hearted, brutal per
petrators of this unparalleled cruelty
may tremble when they think that Goo
is just They say the Yankees made
such fuss about the condition of the
$50 men exchanged in October, that the
above $50 were the best they could selec

was taken prisoner at Morris Island on
the 18th of July, while attending to our
wounded on tie battlefield.
He was taken to Charleston and placed
in the prisoners hospital He found a
Union man on guard, who freely tender
ed him pecuniary aid. After twenty
four hours residence there he was re-
moved to Columbia, where he was con-
fined three months. The rations were
sufficient. He had to fetch water from
the city daily, and met with many Union
men. There were also many ladies of
Union sentiments. The men who were
conscripted were of all classes, from six
teen to sixty, and their appearance was
most forlorn. Exchanged, he returned
by way Wilmington, N. G.. Arriving
at the Libby prison on the morning Of
November IA, he found one thousand Off
GERS confined in seven rooms, 40 feet By
100 feet each, without blankets or bed
ding, left to shift for themselves as best
they might.
There were no fires in the building,
and half the windows were without glass.
The best rations they ever had consisted
OF three-quarters of pound of wheat
bread, one-fourth of pound of fresh
beef, and two ounces of rice. Subse-
wheat bread, and quite often they had
no rice or beef, and but two or three very
small sweet potatoes. For several days,
during the last few weeks of his impris-
onment, they received nothing but three
fourths of pound of corn bread in
twenty-four hours.
The men confined at Belle Island were
brought over to the Libby prison abso-
lutely starving, and others, as they pass
ed Oh their way to receive some food,
would seize any scraps thrown out to
them like so many starved wolves. Just
before DIR. Luck left, they had received
rations from the Federal Government
DR.. Luck remained two weeks in the
Libby Prison. The Confederate authori-
ties took all the money from the prise srs
and allowed them small amounts at
time. The payments to them were al
ways made in Confederate money. They
were assured, however, that the balance
of their money would be sent after them.
