Our men con6ped as prisoners Of war
in Libby prison at Richmond are treated
with harshness, as the whole country
knows. But we are informed by telegraph
that they utter no complaints, prtferiag TO
remain rather than that the rebel armies
should be reinforced by exchange and pa
role of some 10000 OF their prisoners
held by US in excess u prisoners he'd BY
them.
For the full understanding of this tbs
people should know that our government
has repeatedly urged an exchar SO of man
for man 10 the full number OF our men
held by the rebels. We retaining the ex-
cess held 10 our hands at the time OF ex-
change.
To this the rebel authorities will not
consent, demanding that the excess Of
their men now held By Us as. prisoners
shall also be released on parole.
Now General Grant has had some ex.
perenee, aud knows that rebel parole
is not worth the ink that writes IT, He
paroled some thirty odd thousand captured
at Vicksbnrg; in thirty days thereafter
the whole 81 900 were in the rebel army
in violation of their porole, having been
compelled thereunto b. The rebel leaders
The rebels now need another reinforce
meut worse than they did then; aud this
they seek to obtain By forcing the release
on parole of some IS. 900 or 10000 oil
their men now held by Us in excess Of the
number OF ours held By them Their
mode OF forcing our authorities to this
reinforcement OF the rebel ranks ia by q
systematic course oil blrbariiv towards gu,
men in their prisons that would shame
even savages. BY thus abusing and tor
turing our men whom the fortunes Of wal
have thrown into their hands, they think
to make QUE humanity the victims of lhei
inhn'aa nifty, and the result to be a release
on parole OF A., 600 men who they would
at once place in their ranks under Lee in
contempt of their parole Knowing this
TO be their motive our gallant men held
as their prisoners. prefer to endure even
the hardships OF reoel barbarism, rather
Than that our government out Of feeling:
Of compassion should in effect send such :
W VIC tSOSi
And yet the Copperheads are loud in
there denunclation of Mr.. Lincoln becaus.
a full exchange of prisoners is no, made
on rebel terms. They affect vast compass
sion for men held as prisoners. and pu,
that idea forward as the ground of th=ir
abuse OF the Administration But they
know as we'll as jeff Davis knows that lht
course they clamor for would reinforce tn.
rebel army by the whole number of men
We hold in excess. Aud that is doubtless
the reason why they 50 stlenuously urge
the matter, forgetting to tell however thai
part Of the programme. Their purpose
is not 30 much TO relieve cur men heIc
as prisoners OF war. as 10 relieve the reb
ell army by sending back their captured
men into their ranks. Such is copper
head sympathy for Uuion soldiers.
