REBEL PRIsoNERs.-An number of the
rebel prisoners released from the Rock
Island prison barracks on Friday, upon
taking the oath, we're in this place on
Saturday. and several of them succeeded
in securing employment. Long impris.
onment has somewhat impaired their vi
tality, and prolonged wear has made their
garments look seedy and threadbare.
Most of them claim to be natives or for.
mer residents of Northern States. A
few, with whom We coDverscd, give as
an excuse for being caught fighting
against the Stars and Stripes, that they
were conscripted and forced to join the
rebel ranks. That there are great
many among them who were thus i'm.
pressed, we have not the least doubt, but
unfortunately the great bulk of those on
the island are made up of rabid seceshers,
who gladly volunteered, at the call of
their traitorous leaders, to fight against
and destroy the best government that
has ever existed
What contrast is here presented be.
tween the manner in which these prison
ers are received and treated by our citi.
zens and the treatment which is or would
be accorded to our prisoner soldiers,
were they to be turned out among the
"chivalry" to seek a livelihood There
the finger of scorn would forever point
to them as "Lincoln hirelings," niger
loving Yankees" "Northern mudsiIls,"
etc. But here, and everywhere at the
North, sympathy and forgiveness are
extended, irrespective of party feeling,
to the released rebel prisoners, and where.
ever practicable they are supplied with
work or means Of reaching their homes
and friends. Instead of mockery and
insult being added to their misfortunes,
they receive all the kind treatment that
can be bestowed upon them by Chris
tian community. Abolitionists" are
magnanimous to fallen foe, "chivalrous
slave drivers" murder him in cold blood.
That's what's the matter.-Dau. Gazette

she actually ventures to stand upon The
setandah steps and even smiles upon the
"van dals" on the sidewalk. At the end
of the eighth hour she has discovered
that Yankees have no horns, aud ven.
lures down to the gate, and placing both
hands upon tho picks;s, bends her head
forward and looks first up and then down
the street, and laughs heartily at the
pranks of some officers fructious horse,
and exclaims, "Oh Ny! he will surely
be hurt" As the ninth hour approaches
its close she stands on one side of the
gate and chats freely with a real living
Yankee on the other, while both their
hands play with the latch. At the mid
die of the tenth hour the gate is opened
and they both have disappeared, but
where they have gone is nobodys bust
ness, but "the Union as it is to be-" is
restored, as far as they are concerned at
least. 1t is thus that the Union senti-
ment is restored wherever the army
goes.
FALSE 1MPREssIoNs.-We beg to as
sure our citizens that all Yankees look
very much like other American people,
and that there are among our soldiers no
Grifins or misshapen beings, Us has been
represented. To some it may seem su-
perfuous to make this statement, but we
are led to it by overhearing lady ask a
soldier if it was true that some of our
troops had but one eye, and that in the
middle of the forehead, as she had been
told by Confederate soldiers. The wick
ed soldier gravely Informed her that it
was but too true that there was regi-
ment Of them, and that they dressed in
an eastern costume, wearing very broad
red trousers, and that many Ct them
were Amazons. The good woman de.
clared that she would watch and wait,
that she mi ght see them when they came.
Such Misrepresentation only tend to
damage the rebel cause.
