Our PRISONERS AT RIcHNOSD.-We have had
of late numerous reports of terrible suffering
among our prisoners confined at Richmond for
want of food and other comforts of life. We
have considered them as being greatly exagger-
sted, and hence have given none of the horrible
details that have been reported in the eastern
journals. That there has been and is now great
suffering among those confined in Richmond
there is but little doubt, and tina. the treatment
received by our men at the hands of the rebels
is really barbarous, is beyond question. They
give them barely sufficient food to keep life in
their bodies, and they are reported as bordering
OF starvation, and as eating dog meat, and al
most any kind OF eatable substance, in which
there is any nutriment, that comes within their
reach. Our government is doing all in its power
to relieve them, and We are pleased to announce
the fact that some supplies have reached the
sufferers, and their wants are thus temporarily
supplied. Arrangements have been made by
which it is hoped they will be regularly supplied
hereafter with food and clothing, and that the
supplies sent will be faithfully distributed

THE RAILROAD LOAN

Ingham County True 90 her Interests,


The election yesterday, upon the question Of
loaniOg the credit of the county for $4,000 n
aid in the construction OF = Railroad from Jack.
son TO Lansing, resulted largely in favor Of the
loan We have not heard from the entire conn.
ty, but give below such returns as We have been
able to gather, which are sufficient 20 iustif,
the statement tha. the majority will range from
four 20 Ave hundred in favor of the proposition.
The citizens OF Ingham county have been true 10
their own interests The benefits that will accrue
TO the county from the action OF YESTERDAY will
be incAleuable. With a railroad from this eli,
70 the Michigan Central Railroad, Lansing viii
be one Of the best market towns in Michigan.
and one OF the most accessible from all paris
Of the State.
We can look forward to the future with great
encouragement, believing as We do that Ingham
county will soon rank in point of wealth and i'm.
portance with the older, and at present more
shicky settled counties in the State. In the
hsnds Of good company, gifted with energy
aud economy, two essential qualifications for 4
successful railroad company, the railroad from
this city to Jackson can be speedily built. Our
earnest hope is that we may soon receive visi,
from the iron horse via Jackson.

wA reasonable solution for the late ad-
vance Of Gen. Lee, would seem to be that be
needed what he saw in print in the Copper
head journals, that the army of the Potomac
had been greatly weakened in order to send
home men to New York 10 vote. His prompt
repulse by our forces must have satisfied him
Of the amcsnt Of reliance to be placed upon
Copperhead electioneering stories. It most
certainly proved such stories to be utterly
false, and dodge to cover up their weakness.
