SUFFERING PRISONERS OF WAR.-The
Abolition papers are constantly publish.
ing accounts Of the suffering and i'll treat.
ment Of Federal prisoners in Confederate
hands-greatly exaggerated, probably, yet
containing much truth. 1t is q severe
condemnation of Lincoln, who wilruly
suffers these men to remain prisoners
lie alone is responsible; he holds the
keys to their prison doors be can release
them any day and every hour of suffer.
ing they endure and every death caused
thereby, is directly chargeable to him.
This is fact which cannot be denied. -
He has but to say the word and the rcb
els will gladly exchange prisoners. Tht
rebels have made the proposition to hin
repeatedly and be has as repeatedly un
graciously rejected it. A deputation of the
prisoners at Andersonville waited upor
him and solicited his interference-he re-
fused. He alone is responsible for their
suffering.

AN OUTRAGE.-A few weeks before the
election Mr.. Lincoln suppressed the only
Mcclellan paper printed in Maryland, for
no olfense whatever. 1t dared TO advo-
cate the claims Of Mcclellan, in "free Ma.
ryland"-that was its crime, and for that
it was suppressed. The editor went to
Washington to seek an interview with
His Majesty, but it was denied him. We
are not surprised that the petty despot
declined to see him. Ills conduct was
inexcusable and yranncal-insulting and
infamous, and he must have felt, keenly
felt, if he is not dead to every manly SEN
timent, its littleness and mcanness. The
circumstance is made the occasion of the
following spirited comment by Hon. Rev.
erdy johnson
"A Major General Of the Presidents appoint.
ment, having several thousand soldiers subject
to his orders, has not the power, be tells US, to
prevent the suppression of u paper by mob
violence and the President, with q want of
courtesy not to have been expected, refuses to
see the gentlemen, whose property and rights
as freemen, be was informed, had been out.

Letting his interference.
"Posterity will hardly believe that such
things should have occurred, and the people
in this country, and everywhere where liberty
is valued, will regard it but with shame and
indignation. l trust in God that the day is
near at hand when the Constitution which our
fathers bequeathed us, and the freedom which
they designed should be perpetusl, will be ours
once more. Yours, with regard,

GENERALS REMOVED. We learn from
our Atlantic exchanges that Grant has re.
moved Generals Meade and Warren from
their commands. The reason g iven for
their removal is, that Gen. Grant issued
an order commanding these Generals to
assault the lines of the enemy's works in
their front. These Notifications were very
strong, and so constructed that an attempt
TO carry them by assault would be attend
ed with fearful loss Of life, and possibly
would fail. 1t is said that Generals Meade
and Warren united in a protest to their
commander against the order, whereupon
they were relieved from their commands.
They were unwilling to see their men
slaughtered by wholesale in a senseless
attempt to storm impregnable fortifica-
tons. They had sacrificed enough men
in such experiments, and they protested
against repeating the folly and brutality.
and for protesting werO set se.ae.

How 1T WAS DoNE.-Gen. Mcdowell, a
short time previous to the election, or.
dered company Of cavalry to Mariposo
county, to keep down the copperheads'
and "prcserve the peace" These vete
rams all voted for Lincoln, in Maraposa,
and, we doubt not. their votes were also
returned to the county in which they vol
unteered to be again counted for the Wild,
ow-maker. Having accomplished the
object of the movement" they have been
withdrawn from the county. The Free
Press, Of the 10Th inst, says: " Company
F., Cd Cavalry, c. ", left Bear Valley on
Saturday morning last. They were sent
here to vote for Abraham Lincoln. They
did it. They were also sent to carry this
county for the Railsplitter. They didn't
do it. Our advice to the officials or other
citizens who were instrumental in getting
them here, is to figure closer next time,
and send for two companies instead oI
one."

KIND HEARTED LINcoLN.-Lct it never
be forgotten that the Confedcrates propose
to Mr.. Lincoln an exchange of prisoners,
man for man, and that the offer is refused.
Thus one hundred thousand men are kept
in sickeDing and loathsomc confinement,
from which it seems death can only re.
'ievc them. We see it stated that about
thirty rebel prisoners at Elmyra, N. Y,
die per day; and the mortality among the
Federal prisoners in Georgia is reported
still greater. 1t is affirmed that 5000
died at Andersonville during the months
of August and September. When these
men sent deputation to Mr.. Lincoln to
