The John' rc's tsit"d Ttp'diiicn.
The expedition intended TO effect
the lihcrntiou OF tho Confederate Off
GERS held prisoners on Jolnson's Is.
land Lake Erie, having failed, in order
TO remove tho mis9rprchensions that
may be created by Federal accounts
of Canadian plot 10 burn Western
cities, we give below nll the facts iD
which the public Is Interested, which
may, we nrc assured, be implicitly re-
lied on.
The Washincto1 Government hov-
ing refused to continue the exchange
of prisoners Of war under the cartel,
sent the Southern officers accustomed
to q tropical climate TO johnson Is-
land, where 1000 Of them were con
fined in wretchcd quarters. absolute
ly unfit TO house cattle. There is no
reason TO doubt that the officers sclcc-
ted for this prison were those upon
whom the cold, damp climate and cN-
posurc would act most prciudicially.
1t was in fact an attcmptto commit
murder, without publicly incurrins
the odium &C Slaughter.
In these circumstances tho Conrcd
crate Government detarmiu, 10 make
uIr 5rttvrnI,t ~, re.,es..,- tA -reeniin thn
doomed officers, IN for this purpose
an expedition was lifted out consisting
of thirty-siN officers, under The com
mand ofonc who had distinguished
himself in similar dashing enterprise
and three hundred mcn Thc'onlcers
embarked at Wilmington in the Con
fcderate steamer Il. +. Lee, and Ian
ded at Halifax. The cotton and to-
bacco brought hy that steamer ~
freight, were sold TO furnish the funds
required, amounting to $4,000
The men came overland through the
States. in small parties to tho general
rendezvous.
The intention was 30 surprise the
Federal garrison on Johnson S Island
liberatc the prisoners, convey them to
Canada in vessels provided Tor that
purpose, and forward them lv Ilalli-
fax to Nassau or Bermuda, the great
er part Of the funds tcirg specially
devoted topaying their passage TO one
of these points
Any further operations on the Lake
were left to the discretion OF the OH
GERS in command, whose orders were
stringent and pcrcmtory TO avoid .
breach Of British neutrality. and TO
take care that even the scmblagc of
international wrong shouldhepreyen-
ted. Had Johnson's Island been Ia
ken, it might have formed q basis for
other operations against Federal COM
merce on the Lakes; but the real OBJ
ject Of the expedition Was to rescue
two thousand valuable lives from the
cruelty which had devoted them ia
slow but certain death in a climate
and situation in the last dCgreeinimi-
cal to them.
