reference. They would even be allow ed
10 act as commi=sarIes for our prisoners,
and TO order through the lines such stores
rs they might deem necessary, and to re-
ceive and distribute them All that
was asked in return was that they should
also be permitted to send such number of
OF their surgeons within our lines as might
be deemed necessary, with similar pow
ers.
The only reason why the Government
rejected this humane proposition was be.
cause it was made to the Government di,
rect, and not through Butler the Beast
The refusal of the rebels to withdraw their
outlawry of Butler must be atoned for by
the suffering of our poor prisoners
