A PRISON FOR UNION MEN.

We entered the prison July Sd, 1862, at
two O'CLOCK T. M. Our prison was grocery
house, its dimensions about twenty-five by ifty
feet When we were incarcerated, there were
about seventy prisoners in the building, whites,
muattoes, and negroes. The prison was filthy
IN the extreme, aud filled with vermin e7un
our food was infested with them. No brooms
were furnished us, and we could not sweep tn Q
moor. NO beds were furnished, and we were
compelled to lie upon the floor with no COW
erlpg, and nothing but she hard planks beneath
us.
Several times day officers would come in
and order specified number of men to 90 and
WORK, unaer strong guard. We we're MAJ
to clean the streets, roll barrels, and clean the
hospital but our own prison we were not
permitted TO clean. Every kind of drudgery.
and the most mental services, were imposed
upon US.
The crimes charged upon the prisoners were
desertion' trading with the Tankees, adhesion
to the United States government Or Unioaism
acting as spies, refusing Confederate bonds,

THE SPIRIT OF BALTIMORE. Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette re-
ports one Of the speakers at the late Union meet
ing in Baltimore as saying in private converse
ton
The remarkable thing about that meeting was
not its immense size nor hs wonderful enthusi-
asm 1t was this that there, on slave soil, in
the midst of what we have been taught to call
the Mob City, in sight of the spot whsrs Massa-
chusetts soldiers were slain for marching to de-
fend the imperilled capital, the more naquali6edly
you advocated the prosecution OF the vlr by any
and every means, ITO the end OF utterly crushing out
and pulverizing the rebel!iSu and the rebels, the
more radical You we're, in snort, the more tumul-
Iuous and rapturous became the applause There
was no blinking the necessities of the case, no
shrinking and shivering if you chaneed to touch
the raw spot On which you would e1pec. to find
them so sensitive. In fact, sir, Juggling from the
unmstakaole tone of that meeting, Baltimore is
today more radical city than Ciacinnat,!

Bad for Coppsrhesds.


The Valandigham leaders tell the people
that all that is necessary to secure the re
construction of the Union," is for us to
withdraw the invading armies" and invite
the rebels back. The folly of such talk has
been frequently exposed but never more
clearly than in the following paragraph
from the Richmond Sentinel of the 10Th
ult. That paper says:
"The House of Delegates yesterday in a
most summary manner disposed of reso-
luton for inquiring into the tone and tenn
per of the people Of the United States on
the subject Of peace, with view of respond
ing, if favorable. The House know, what
everybody knows, that such resolutions are
both IDLE and mischiecous, for they will only
be taken by our enemies as evidence Of
more or less readiness on our part for re-
construction. The House, by unanimous
vote, put its foot on this resolution, and
without word of discussion or a moment
Of delay. In this they but fairly represent
ed the manliness and unanimity Of our peo-
ple. "

not get revolvers to flourish, as some Of them
have in this town, in the faces Of quiet and
peaceable citizens, and he is welcome to all
tho capital he can make out of the fact for

Mr.. Brown, acted upon his own discretion,
OR it was, as the editor of the Gazette says,
"a large assumption of arbitrary power by
Mr.. Honbreok, :" for which we are not dis
posed to defend him; but oh how con-
xemptably low mast a. party be, when its
mouth-piece, its fusleman, seeks to make
capital for it out of every act Of individuals,
out Of overy private difficulty between busi-
ness men, yea, out OF the misfortunes OF
the country, out of the defeat Of our armies,
out Of the murder of our soldiers. A party

SvCApT. LocuARY AND LIEUT.. Fow.
LER.-We had not time last week, after we
had learned these two noble young officers
we're killed, to say as much in relation to
their deaths as we desired.
Capt. Lochary was private 10 Company
X, 18th Ohio Volunteers, in the three
months service. When the 9Sth Ohio Regi.
ment was organized he was appointed First
Lieutenant OF company =, and upon the re
signation of Capt. Cordncr was promoted to
the Captaincy. He participated in the battle
of Perryyille, when his company lost hcav.
lily. After this tsttle, when the Army Of the
Cumberland moved forward into Tennessee,
his regiment was left in Kentucky. 1t re
maincd there some time, until the organiza
tion of the Reserve Corps under General
Granger, when it joined that corps and fol-
lowed the advance Of Gen. Rosecrans' army
upon Chattanooga. Capt Locbary was
killed in the battle of Sunday. He was
only about 20 years Of age, and was son
of Ex-Sheriff Lochary.
Lieut.. Fowler entered the army in
September, 1861, as Second Lieutenant of
company +, 18th Ohio Volunteers. He
fought under McCook at Shiloh aud Stone
River In the battle Of Chickamauga,
where he was killed, his division was at
tached to Gen. Thomas command. Lieut.
Fowler was brave and capable officer The
company has no First Lieutenant, and in
the absence of Capt Glover he had COM
mand of the company. He fell at his post
Of duty, bravely defending the cause to
which he was so devotedly attached.
The parents and relatives Of these brave
men have the sympathy of our whole com
munity. Their loss is heavy one, indeed,
but they can console themselves with the
reflection that they fell nobly defending the
Union and flag Of our Fathers, and that
they will be held in sacred remembrance as
belonging to that race of heroes and martyrs
Of the great Southern Rebellion.

p@DoNAHUE's ISLANDERS ON

h1-DoNAHUE's ISLANDERS ON Col.
RICHARDSON. N.--Donahue,t the Canadian can
didate for Senator, in speech at the Court
House on Monday night, undertook to cover
Col. Richardson, of our 25th Regiment,
with some of the slime that always issues
from his very large mouth when he opens
it.. He alluded to the fact that Col. Rich
ardson bad been invited to address the
Brough mass meeting at st. Clairsville, and
tried to speak very knowingly and mysteri-
ously about that officer; said he was after a
star on his shoulder, &c. Every person in
the house, that had any sense of honor, love
of country, or veneratiou for the heroic de-
tenders of the flag, felt justly indignant at
the vile ISLANDERS and cowardly insinuations
of the craven sneak.
