MR. FvLToS, of the Baltimore. American,
has lately been up to City, Point and had
a conference With the rebel, Com missioner
Ould, an, old friend of his. He believes
ths assurance Of Mr. Ould that our men
on Belle Isle are well sheltered and fare as
we'll a. the rebel so ldierss He considered'
their condition preferable to that of those
confined in the tobacco warehouses aud
other prisons. Ar. Fnlton's object was to
make an arrangement by which Mr.. Oar.
WRrdin, Of the Richmond Dispatch, should
receive aud distribute supplies sent TO our
men, while he Mr.. FultonJ agreed to do
the same favor for the rebel prisoners at
City Point. sCOmmissioner Ould, promised
to represent the case to the Confederate
Government, but thought nothing could be
done, Us he had some time ago proposed
that our government should send fifty sur-
,geOns to take care of our men, theSrebels
being allowed the same privilege, and had
received no reply from our government.
The reason for the silencsof our govern.
ment doubtless is that Mr. Ould directed
his communication to The Secretary of
/. War; and not to Gen. Butler, to whom all
matterstcouusCtodwi 1tis prisoners have
been turned over. There is at least some
satisfaction IN having the personal word Of
Mr.. ould, who is considered an honorable
man, for the present good treatment Of
our prisoners, and We may reasonably hope
that their condition will not be changed
for the Worse.by any change of location.
