the statement published in the papers of

prisonment in Richmond of Gen. Ullman
was . mere canard and was not q syllable
of truth in it. 49,. r. ~- g-fEnE
. Another invention has gone the rounds of
the papers and caused a vast amount of un.
necessary pain in families, viz, that officers
in Gen. Ullman's command who had been
taken prisoners had been hung by rebels
The facts are that General Ullman long
since received information as to the fate of
all the officers in his division that have fall
en- into the hands of the enemy, except one.
Those who were taken at jackson
are at Libby Prison, and those who were
captured at Brashear City, in June, are at
Camp Ford, a rebel depot for prisoners, 4
miles from Tyler. 1t is known that latter.
ly their treatment has not differed essential
ly from that of other prisoners.
Gen. Ullman constantly has rebel prison
ersSin his hands, and those who know him,
need no assurance that if any of his com
mnnd shall be treated contrary TO usages
of civilized warfare retaliation will be short
