SUFFERINGS OF; CONFEDERATE
PRISO NERS.

The Chicago Times, in an or ticle upon
the suHerings of the soldiers at Camp
Douglas, near that city, says:
"lhe suffering and tortures endured by
the Confederate prisoners was beyond the
power of pen to portray. Unaccustomed TO
the Northern climate, and cold lake and
prairie winds, their light southern garb was
poor protection against the ordinary TEN.
perature of the elements. But with the
winds maddened into fury, the air filed with
freezing snow, they suffered as 10 people ev-
er suffered before. Through the crevices of
their thin board barracks the wind whistled
as if in very mockery, bringing the snow in
such quantities as to cover the floors and
beds upon which they had to sleep. So des.
perate was their condition that they we're
compelled to sleep BY relief Dividing off
into squads offour, two would retire to their
cold be.ths, covering with the blankets ot
the four, while the others would keep up the
fire. THUS in turns of four hours Zach did
these mortals attempt to brave the raging OF
the storm. In many cases the snow had
frequently to be shaken from the blankets
of the sleepers With all their ingenuity
they couln not keep warm, and numbers oi
them will sufe- from the exposure of this
dreadful storm for all time to come. To add
to the horrors of their situation, many oi
them we're sick, and the wailing wind and
searching cold added fresh terrors to their
suferingS." .... ...-....

WHAT THE BIRDS SAID
BY JOHN c. WHITTIER

The birds, against the April wind,
Flew northward, singing as they few
They sang: The land We leave behind
Has swords for corn-blades, blood for dew
4" o wiId-birds, flying from the South,
What saw and heard ye, gazing DOWN q
eve saw the morter's upturneo NOUN,
The eickeued camp, the blazing town
{ ganesth the bivouac's starry lamps,
We saw your march-worn children die
In shrouds of moss, in cypress swamps,
We saw your dead uncofhned lie.
CIV, heard the starving prisoners signs;
And saw fl ON line and trench, your Sous
yellow our fight with hou,esiek eyes,
Beyond the battery smoking guns
"And heard and saw ye only wrong
And pain,'' cried, so ving-worn Hooks y
We heard.'' they sang, 'Sthe Freedman's song,
The crash of slayery's broken locks
&c We saw from new, uprising states
The Treason making mischief spurned,
AS crowding Freedoms ample gates,
The long -estrangsd and lost returned
.so'er dusky faces, scanned and old,
And hands horn with unpala toiA,
With hope IN every rustIng iolo;

And sweet ana far as from star,
Replied a voice which shall not cease,
Till, drcYning all the noise but war,
It sinI the blessed songs OF peace -
So to ne in a doubtful day
of chill and slowly greening spring,
Low STOPPING from the cloudy gray,
The wild birds sang or seemed to sing.
They vanished in the misty air,
TheSsong went with Them in heir flight;
But 10 they left the sunset fair,
And in the evening there was light.

MISREPRESENTATION and British,

During the fiscal year ending June go
1868, the total revenue of the United States
Government from taxes was SI11, 399, 766, As,
and the actual expenditure was STA, 709,-
995 So, so that, in the midst of great war,
nearly six-sevenths of the national expendi-
ture was raised by borrowing. This state OF
things contrasts very unfayorably with the
English financial system; and the fact can
not too often brought to the attention of Con
gress. Even at the present day, when Great
Britain is at peace with all the world, her
revenue from taxes is more than three tim }
greater than ours. Mr.. Gladstone, the Char
cellor of the Exchequer, on the 7th instant
informed the Commons that the British reve.
nue. for the past year was, &c, 2Uo 900 equal
to $3.50, 100000 in gold, to more than
100000 in our paper money. This Is
for the support of the English peace estab-
lishment. 1t merely pays current expenses,
including the interest on the national debt
and leaves but million or two to be added
to the sinking fund. In the early part of this
century, during the war with Napoleon, the
war taxes amounted to about half the ordiD-
ary revenue; and in the event of another
great war the Parliment would add to the
taxes now imposed at least one-third more if
necessary, so that the revenue of Great
Britain, from taxes would amount to about
nine hundred millions of cur paper money.
We are aware that England is very rich
country but it is, at the same time, very
small. The whole British Islands, including
Ireland, contain an area of only one hundred
and twenty thousand square miles, or less
than New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
And of this small territory, only England is
really any Importance as it regards taxes.
Ireland and Scotland are poor countries, and
the taxes derivab1e from them amount to less
than tenth of the English revenue The
colonies and foreign possessions constitute a
burthen rather than source Of revenue: so
that the great bulk of the British revenue
comes out Of England, a country not equal
IN extent In territorial extent to New York
and Massachusetts,, and containing less than
twenty millions of inhabitants. The United
States contains, within the present military
lines, not less than twenty-five millions Of In
haSltants, and an area of fertile land. not
counting the wild territories, some twenty
tive Or thirty times great as England. We
beliye that our loyal population produce as
much and consume as much as the population
OF England, and that they can pay as much
revenue into the treasury. All that is nee
essary is wise and thorough system of in
ternal revenue laws
