Treatmentt Of Union 0alcers I'm Charleston.
Some Of tho returned officers have been
IN captivity more than year, and others
were captured during the bate campaigns of
Gen. Grant. Before arriving at Charleston
they were imprisoned at Macon, Georgia,
and some Of them had previously enjoyed
the hospitaIities of the abby at Rich
mond. When they first arrived in
Charleston they were incarcerated in COM
mon Jail-a place most filthy and repulsive
where felons and others were kept until
they were wanted in the rebel armies-but
which actually was not fit for the occupan-
cy of human being. An earnest but re-
speetful protest against confinement IN such
quarters was made by our officers, and short
" afterwards they were removed TO an un-
occupied house in the city belonging to a
rebel officer, where they were accorded all
the privileges that prisoner has right to
expect--as well as including some that he
has not, in the shape of missiles from the
runs Of his friends. An officer, in addition
to the regular guard was detailed to visit the
prisoners daily to see that their just wants
were supplied; vegetable and market wag,
ons were allowed to visit them every morn
ing a pint of rice, slice of bacon, and usu-
ally small loaf of bread, with some salt,
were allowed them as daily ration; and a
plot of ground where they could play ball
and exercise themselver was set apart Wr
their use. Altogether-barring the shoot
ing--they felt they could not then complain.
Among their visitors were persons who
clandestinely sold Confederate currency at
the rate of from five to ten dollars for one
dollar of greenbacks-the price varying ac-
cording to the shrewdness of the purchaser.
One officer brings home as a trophy piece
of shell which exploded near their play
ground. All the prisoners were obliged to
give their parole not to attempt an escape,
or they would have met with very different
reatment-G Charleston Letter, ~. Y. Post
