The Treatment of Prisoners.

The letter from the Yankee General Hitchcock, reA-
tive to the supplying Of the prisoners OF war In our
hands with provisions clothing, &C., contains this in
Sultng sentence:
The action Of our Government In this matter il dc
tAted purely by humanity, ard Is only an effort to
eve our prisoners from tueriug alcted upon them
contrary to the claims Of both humanity and the laws
Of war"
Without intending or knowing 1t, this Yankee General
has told The truth for Whatever suffering" these prf
onsrs have endured has been the rel lt Of disregard
Of ".he claims oS both humanity and the laws Of war;"
which require that prisoners Of sha be exchanged
The Yankee Government refuses exchange, and thus
violates the claims of humanity and the laws Of war
Whatever suffering the prisoners experience in con-
sequence of this conduct of their Government and can
be relieved at any time by the adoption OF different
course by that Government
Bat this General did not intend to involve himself in
this truth He meant on the other hAnd TO assert the
Aehood that Dur authorities have violated the eAims oil
humanity and the lava of war; in not providing Tor the
wants and comforts Of these prisoners GbundAnJ
than they are doirg for deserving and beloved
soIders He meant TO taunt US in teeth and brand
us before the world with the guilt Of nhumsniy and
OArDATity-anQ No lnbOcuby HAAco SDOHSN-
the ground Of demanding that We shall receive the con-
tritu!ion, forwarded for the use OF the prisoners
Whether under such circumstances, We ought TO have
received ard ought to continue to receive, these eon
buttons, is question worthy OF more consideration by
our authorities thAn apfsehend, is has received
By the course that has been adopted, do We 10: submit
10 the insult that has been aupg ct u.s. and mpedy i'd
mi. as true the calumnious accusAtioHs Even II the
application to supply the wants Of these prisoners we're
ccuched in the most courteous terms still the question
would be- whether We should, by granting it, aid the
enemy in securing the advantage which they derive
from the so2page of the exchange. Their theO;y -
that The prisoners they hold would be OF more use to Vi
If released than those hold would be TO them. They
therefore violate the cartel and hold on 10 our men
We aid them in keeping down sli elaner among them
selves and al discomfort among the prisoners, BY allow
ing them to make the condition Of the prisoners more
easy than it wouli be if they were exchanged. We
submit that the course adopted BY authorities should
be rsconsderSd There may be reAsons unknown to ui
