PRISONERS En- RoUTE.-It having been
announced that large number of Confeder<
ates would arrive in this city, yesterday after
noon, large concourse of people assembled in
the vicinity of the Refreshment Saloons, to
view them. The train containing them had
but fairly arrived when the rain commenced to
descend in torrents So great was the curios-
ity of both women and men, that the cooling
drops of the refreshing shower did not deter
them from running down the street to the end
of the wharf where the steamer Major Ray
bold was stationed to receive the passengers
for Fort Delaware.
Two companies of the Eighty eighth Ohio,
that had accompanied them from Camp Chase,
acted as guard.
The ladies and gentlemen of the refreshment
saloons came forward with baskets tull OF DELI
cious viands, and distributed to the soldiers of
the Union, who filled their stomachs, while the
Confederates merely feasted their eyes, Among
their number was Brig General Churchill.
Nearly all of the prisoners were officers Of
high grades, who were captured by Rosecrans,
at Murfreesboro, and Arkansas Post. There
were 4oO Of them in the party, and, as the
Raybold moved slowly down the stream, a
small assemblage Of "Young America salu-
ted the ears Of the Confederates with groans.

HEALTHY ExcITEMESr.-Dr. Bellows
stated in speech made before the Amer

in the midst of the unprecedented excite.
men, of the last two years in this cou ntry
an excitemen, reused BY the dangers of the
country, the loss Of friends in battle and
in canp. the separation of families and
long drawn suspense, the amour: of in-
sanity in the country has materially de-
creased from what it was in time of peace.
The substitution of noble and healthy
excitement for ignoble and degrading agi-
talions Of mind thus shows itself by the
most delicate tests. Dr.. Bellows said that
in seven large asylums whose superinienc-
ents have communicated with him there

GERRlT SMIrH.-This original advocate
of the abolition of slavery has recently,
in his published addresses and letters, Civ
en- evidence Of somewhat different views
than those which he was formerly accus-
toned to take. and has given some extreme
ly sound advice as 10 the duty Of all pat
riots to support the governmen, uncondi.
tionally. The Albany Evening Journal
speaks Of his appearance at the Utica con.
vention as follows:
The great feature Of the day was the
speech of Gerrit Smith. 1t was remarka.
bic for its conservative tone, remarkable
for its uncompromising and unsefish pat
rio'ism. There was hardly word in i
which true lover of the Union could DO
endorse. 1t declared that the great bust
ness before US was to crush the rebellion
that this should be done, even though
slavery lived.

IICKET CONNERsATIoN AT VIcKsBURG
"A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial writes the following:
On the nigh. Of the Goth, our pickets
were within conversing distance of the
rebels in the rifle pits, and remarks were
frequently exchanged. On the center the
following conversation occurred:
"Do you get anything to eat, secesh 2"
Yes, all We want"
"How many of you are over there?"
We've got about hundred and fifty
thousand-enoueh to whip all the Yank-
ees in Gods world"

You whipped US there, 5u. you can't
DO it here
"H-ll we can't You come out of those
dirt piles, and see if we can't whip you-
Wen whip you two to one in an open
field"
"We could 60 out and whip you in ten
minutes, if we wanted 10, but we wan, you
to stay where you are till Joe Johnston
gets up behind YOU
"Joe Johnston will play h-ll getting
behind Us. Guess he'll stay SO far behind
US that we 'llnever see him."
The conversation was terminated BY an
invitation from the rebels to one of our
men, requesting the pleasure of his com.
pany at supper. The Confeaerales gave
their word of honor that he should be per-
mitted to return whenever he nIeased -
On this representation. the Federal picket
"a private in the 7:h Missouri-accepted
.he invitation, went over and entered one
of the rebel forts. He hasn been seen
or heard of since. The rebels hold him as
a prisoner. On the same evening a rebel
picket came to our lines to sup with some
Of our boys. He was we'll treated, and
returned to his post after two hours stay

character, is most encouraging 10 the Un-

city. Johnston had appeared ct Black

getting in Grants rear, but there was no
show for any success Of this sort, his
