ReSOLUed, That whereas TEN THOU
SAND OF OUR BRAVE COMRADES HAVE
DESCENDED TO AN UNTIMELY GRAVE
within the last six months, and as we
believe their death was caused by the
difference of climate, the peculiar
Kind and insufficiencY OF food, and
lack Of proper medical treatment; and
where's those difficulties still remain.
we would declare, as our firm belief,
that UNLESS WE ARE SPEEDILY Ex-
CHANGED, WE HAVE NO OTHER ALTER
NATIVE BUT TO SHARE THE LAMENTA-
DLE FATE OF OUR COMRADES. Must
this thing go on7 Is there no hopel-
Resolutions of Uuion Prisoners iu

their appeal for freedom aud return

ones that falls upon the ear Of Abra-
ham Lincoln as if he were made OF
stone9 Can you9 "We are not vii
ling to suffer to further the euds Of
any party or clique" say the Fedora
prisoners, and they ask that the cause
OF their abandonment to cruel fate
by the Lincoln Administration be
explained to them. The explanation
they ask is here:
"All other questions between
rs may be postponed for future set
tlement, but the fair exchange Of color
ed soldiers and OF their white Off
GERS will be insisted Oh by the Gov
ernment, BEFORE ANOTHER REBEL SOL
DER OR OFFICER WILL BE EXCHANGED

"The wrongs, indignte:
and privations suH red by our (whit,

to anything to procnre their exchange
EXCEPT to barter away the honor
and faith of the Government Of the
