city, have overlooked seres of most insolens let
tiers addressed to General Sam Jones by Bngadier-
Generals Vessels, shaler, scammon, Seymour and
Hickman, while in prison there. We End the
whole printed in Northern journal. The first let
ter, dated Charleston Jail, June u.s." demands
that the Confederate authorities should issue to
them, cat no matter what expense or trouble" Two
copy the words ration equal to that issued by the
Yankee authorities TO the Confederate prisoners
They also request that they shall be allowed to SUBJ
scribe to the Charleston papers that washing and
bathing arrangements be provided for them that
they be notified when flags of truce go to the Fed
erl lnes and that their limits for exercise be en-
larged. This insolent letter received attention to
tho extent of some of its requests being granted
Encouraged by this lenency, General Vessels then
proceeds to write General Jones series OF letters,
requesting that the q Sanitary Commission" be
permitted TO attend TO the wants of the prisoners at
Andersouville, Macon and other places, and that
General Seymour be allowed to visit those places
and see that the Federal prisoners did not suffer,
and that the surgeons and ohaplains IN Southern
prisons not being prisoners of war; be released, and
that tho prisoners at Andersonville and Macon be
removed 10 a more healthy location. In fact, these
Yankees seem to have taken everything connected
with their own Imprisonment and that of Others into
their own hands Tho last series of letters the an
KEGS say were not answered.

RopBKRY.-On Saturday night, Augustus Staples,
a we'll known free negro huckster in the Second
Market, was knocked down when near the corner u
Third and Baker streets three Yankee desertsls,
and then robbed of about fifteen hundred dollars IN
Confederate money. Staples had been at the house
of q Mrs Hulcher, on Third street, few doors from
Leigh, where he met with the three Yankees, and
feeling rather liberal and disposed for fun, he treated
them and himself three or four tunes to llquor.-
After remaining there some time he started nome,
but had not proceeded far before he was oyertak
by his Yankee companions, knocked down, chok ed
until he was senseless, and his pocket picked OF the
amount of money mentioned above. yesterday
morning he accompanied officers Moore and jenkins
10 the Confederate States stable lot on Navy hll,
where a large number of Yankee deserters are en-
gagged in making shoes, for the purpose OF ideniy-
ing those who had robbed him The three fellows
were soon pointed out TO tie oioers by Staples and
approached by them on the subject. They read y
acknowledged being with the sable huekster on The
night before but Indignantly denied any parnclpa-
ton III the robbery, In company with Staples, they
said they walked to the corner OF Duyal ana lmtd
streets where they left him, and proceeded to thei
quarters at the stable-yard Although staples was
positive that these were the men who robbed nun
vet being negro and therefore incompetent to tto'
ify against white men, the officers had no other re-
course than to release them
