The proposition to increase the soldiers pay,
which has received large share of the attention
of Congress for some time, has eliminated at
length in the adoption of bill, by unanimous
vote, which gives to all grades of enlisted men
fair pecuniary remuneration. The following
paragraph embodies the prominent features of
the bill 8
"That on and after May l., 1864, the pay of pri-
Yates shall be increased from thirteen to sixteen
dollars month; corporals, to eighteen SER
geants to twenty; orderly sergeants to twenty
four; sergeant majors, twenty six dollars month.
The ration of 1861 is restored, and there is to be
no Communication for rations. Among other pro-
Visions the twenty-first section of the enrolment
act of 1868 is amended that officers may obtain
leaves of absence for other than sickness
or wounds without deduction of pay and al
lowance but such leaves are not to exceed thirty
days in a year.
Soon after the war broke out Congress author
lied an increase of the soldiers pay from eleven
to thirteen dollarspe month. This advance was
not intended an inducement to enlistment, but
was simply recognition of the standard OF wa

Mortality of Federal Prisoners in Rebel
Hospitals

HOSPITALS.
Mr.. J. B. Abbott, Chief Assistant Especial
Relief Department" u. s. Sanitary Commission,
has kindly furnished with the following re-
port, showing the mortality of our prisoners in
the hospitals of rebeldom
The following is an extract from the report of
the Surgeon in Charge of the hospitals for Union
prisoners at Richmond, secreted and brought
away by one of the patients recently paroied,
and now in one of the Baltimore General Hospi--
tails -
1.n,.r NO. n esa aosp'Ls. NO. DEATHS.
January ........"."...". GAG 311
FEBRUARY, ........ 1857 5N
March, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 1923 561
Total, ......... ............... 2721 1896
To this we might add the following extract
from a late number of the Columbus (Ga..) En-
qWi9er:
If some arrangement for the exchange of pris-
Oners is not speedily effected, the Confectionery
will derive but little benefit from it, A few days
ago, while the cars were at AndersOnville, the
editor learned that the mortality among the
Yankee prisoners at that point frightful.-
One of the guard informed him that fifty-two
died on previous day, and that since their arri-
val the average number of deaths per day was
thirty. smallpox. pneumonia, diarhoea, are
taking them off by wholesale.
Judging by the above authority, it is but fair
to infer that, from some reason not given the
enemy fail to properly provide for those whom
the fortunes of war have placed in their hands,
when they fall victims to the diseases which their
confinement in lonesome prison houses produce.
AS dead to the common instincts of human
ity as the rebels to have become we
INDUCED the hope that treatment of their
sick and wounded would have met with at
least partial reciprocation in the care of those
who while their prisoners, fell sick among them,
but the array of mortality figures presented
above would seem to dispel even this and forces
the conclusion that they are to say the least, in
O1HofonU as to whether federal prisoners
die while inmates of their hospitals To treat
their sick in similar manner would be but
just retrbutiOn for their conduct, but we trust
that, to whatever extreme the contest may be
driven, the honor of America may never be
sullied by resort to such an unchristian and
lnhuman practice by the representatives of our
government. Whatever relation men NAV sus-
tain to us as the enemies of liberties and gov
eminent, whenever rendered helpless by wounds
or disease the ordinary claims of charity de-
mand that they should be treated with human
consideration, and to refuse this would be to
equalize our philanthropy with that of our ene-
mics.
