TREATMENT OF UNION PRISONERS AT R1cH-
MoND.-Yesterday five members of the Joint
Committee of Congress on the Conduct of the
War, Senators B. F. Wade and b. r Harding
and Representatives D. W. Gooch, George W
Julian and Morris T. Odell accompanied by
Major General Lew Wallace, visited the hospi-
tails at Annapolis, at the order of the Secretary
of War, for the purpose of inquiring into the
condition and the treatment by the Rebel autho-
rites of the soldiers recently arrived from Rich
mond. Several of the poor fellows now lying
in the hospital were examined, under oath and
their evidence Of the cruel barbarity of their
treatment will astonish the civilized world
Some of them were so emaeiated by starvation
as not TO be able to- move In their beds and
scarcely able to articulate responses to the ques
tons asked by the Committee. They resembled
skeletons more than human beings After con-
Guiding their investigation at Annapolis, the
Committee came to this city by the steamer
Kent, and last evening visited Vests Buildings
Hospital, where a number of those lately from
Richmond were examined II is said that pho
tographs of several of the returned prisoners
will be taken for general circulation, so that the
people throughout the country can Judge for
themselves of the inhuman, terrible treatment
our soldiers receive at the hands of the Rebels.

not forsake me- My last words then are, that
you will do all in your power to procure for
yourselves salvation. This world is nothing

At the conclusion of his address he requested
permission of the Provost Marshal to shake hands
with the men who were detailed as the firing
party, which was at once granted. He went
through the ranks accompanied by Lieut.. Hill

His step was firm 10 the last, and his voice clear

even the most trivial matter which he wanted to
settle. II comprised in that brief space the work
which might under ordinary circumstances have
taken years to accomplish
Having babe farewell to his friends, the spot
was pointed out MIN where he was to stand,
and he walked to It with great GOODNESS, though
exhibiting symptoms of confusion. He stood
for n few seconds with his hands casped in PRAYER
and when he had concluded he was requested TO
bend on one knee, which having done, the word
was given TO FIRE. One groan alone told that
his troubles in this world were at an end-but

for you have acted as such to me, it is necessary
that we should all be prepared for death, since we
must all die ] admit that am a sinner, have
not acted manly to the government that have
defrauded, not only once, or twice but many

your country, faithfully and well. Be true to
The oath which YOU have taken, and you will
feel better in your own heart. do not see that
in any other case you can do better. The only
source of happiness In this world springs from

from that obedience It is only since received

to do so.

Every man of you who has common sense

those who are true to their oaths, return home,

zeal.
"Ihaye as I said before forgiven every one
