Moro Soldiers Starving.

Such are the dreadful tidngs from
Richmond. In the old Libby prison and
other tobacco houses Of the rebel capital,
are slowed brave and gallant Federal
soldiers, who are actually suffering for
food and raimeut, because our Govern.
ment refuses to carry GU. on it, par, the
terms Of a solemn contract made with the
Confederate authorities.
An agreement was made several months
since, by which the prisoners held BY the
rebels could be exchanged. But alter
wards our Government thinking that men
were more valuable to the rebels than to
the Fede:a|s, suddenly abroSated the car.
tel, and absolutely refused to abide by the
terms of the agreement. The result is
that the rebels find themselves unable to
feed their prisoners and their soldiers too,
and the Union men are made to suffer.
There is now but one way to relieve The
suderings of the Union prisoners, and that
is, to at once exchange them. This is
due MT onl " the prisoners themselves,
but it is due Union soldiers wherever they
may be found. This remedy is consistent
and proper, and unless the Government,
insists upon its breach Of good faith, this
will be done.-Muscat.ne Courier.

The mystery which overhangs the rcfu.
sal If :he administration to give this re-.
port publicity, is becoming more and more
;mpenetrable. 1t 10 believed to be the
only report Of military operations in the
war, out Of some hundred that has been
suppressed. Its length was FIRST assigned
as a reason for not printing it; but when
We and other papers offered to publish it
q. our own expense, that idea was dropped.
1t il now suggested that some one is pre-.
pairing reply to it. This queer idea
The Government refusing to publish a
report of military operations until they
can get a reply! II cunt be true! The
secret doubtless is that the report contains
an overwhelming defense Of Gen. McClel
Ian, in its facts, against all the slanderous
attacks made on him. But where is the
honor Of the administration il it still re.
fuses 10 give it publicity? /. seems We
were correct, long ago, in saying that it
would not see light until after the cleo
tons, if then.-N. r Journal Commerce.

A Theme for Poetry.

The New York Tribune saws "The
Union as it once existed, was a sentiment.
1t was something to love aud to cherish
it was theme for poetry and an object of
pride-it was full Of tenderly cherished
,raditions-it gave US Importance abroad
aud prosperity at home"
It is true the Union has been ",heme
for poetry for We recollect Of reading in
the Tribune, about two years and a half
ago, an ode to the American fag-ths
symbol Of the American Union, which
contains the following verses:
Al! hail the Haunting Lie!
Tho stars grow pale and dim
The stripes are b'uedy scsrs-
lie the Wanting hymn.
Tar down tho fsunting Tie!
Half mast the starry flag
Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted rag!

RIVER NEWS.

The river here continues to rise rap
idly. and has caused the removal of
large quantities of freight which had &C
cumulated on the wharf.
There is an utter stagnation in bust
ness on the levee in consequence of the
entire absence of tonnage.
The only boat taking freight, for the
last two days, we believe, was the Echo,
for Louisville
The following boats have passed down
since our lastr report. The Dove, Capt.
tola, Golden Era, Prioress, Big Grey
Eagle, Atlantic, and J. T. McCombs.
Those passing up were the Hetty
Gilmore, Aurora, Fannie McBurnie,
Echo, and J. B. Ford.
The Big Grey Eagle was loaded to her
guards with government freight for the
Cumberland River The quantity was
immense. The Big Atlantic had also, a
full load for Nashville.
No boat in the Government service
has done more faithful duty than has the
Atlantic. Carrying nearly 1000 tons
each trip, she does not loiter by the
way.
On her last return from Nashville, she
made the run to Louisville in 81 hours.
