Information In Relation TO Priso.
ners OF tho 10Th Iowa Infantry.
BROWNSVILLE, Texas. Dec, e6, '63.

BRowNSYILLE, Texas. Dec, 26, '63.
CoLoEEL:-I suppose that any infor-
nation | have in regard to the men OF
my command who were taken prisoners
will be interesting to their friends at
home aud may relieve the anxiety OF
some.
One Ohmar Hoskins, of Co. II, made
his escape. after having been prisoner
with the boys for six months.
He came to us a few days since and
gave me the following information in re-
gard to them:
They were taken to place called Ty-
Ter, in the northeast part of Texas. The
march there was hard one, but our boys
stood it very well.
No deaths had occurred among them
and they were enjoying general good
health. Their money was not taken from
them and they were allowed to make some
purchases, which they could readily do
for greenbacks.
The rebels were anxious to exchange
money with them, Offering three and four
to one. They were camped near the tim
Der and were making quarters of logs
and brush for protection. They had no
blankets and no change of clothing.
Their raiions consisted of one pint of
corn-meal and one quarter pound Of beef
per day; salt and little sugar occa-
sionally.
From all learned, l think there was
little positive suffering among them, and
their rations were about the same they
give their own soldiers.
If you deem this of sufficient general
interest you may give it to the GATE
CRY for publicity.
| am, very respectfully,
Your ob't serv't,

Its measures fDr the suppression OF the re
bellion. Even E. w. CAN'T, converted
rebel Of Arkansas, charges home upon the
conservative-copperhead ead-opposilion affilia
ton with the South, and holds with
Douglas that there are but two par
ties-patriots and traitors. He says:
"Let me expires, my belief that God
Almighty intended this war to be the
death blow to slavery. From the frst we
can trace circumstances and signals which
point unmistakably to this fact. Every
circumstance in this rebellion shows a
struggle in the nature Of things to free
the nation from the blight of this curse.
And we will throw il off and be more
homogeneous and united people than ever
before. The people of the South did not
understand this at first, but they are be-
ginning to learn it, and see the philoso-
ply of events. Many Of them see it now,
and desire the evil uprooted forever. /
believe this war nearly ended. | believe
that if certain men in the North will stop
talking about peace and conservatism,
and use every effort in support Of the
war, that the rebellion will be 80 pushed
as to collapse BY spring time.
You would think il you visited us in
Arkansas. that the seat of aboiitionism
had been transferred from New England
to Arkansas. Our people have a right,
God knows, to be sick of slavery, aad
they are sick Of it. Oh so sick. They
can point to desolated homes, devastated
fields. forsaken fresides, aud smoking
villages, as a monument of slavery. They
turn from it with loathing indescribable.
But while we who are so much interested
pray for deliverance from this curse, there
is sneaking party 10 the north who
would force us to keep this curse with us.
We would return to our allegiance with
slavery blotted from our constitution.
What sight is here presented, | tell
you, my friends, that if you desire TO
prulong this war, you have only to con-
tinue this talk about conservatism. There
is nothing that has more assisted JEFF.
Davis than the conservative peace party

The committees found on examination
of their reports yesterday, that there was
a very considerable deficiency in the cake
department.
We trust that the ladies will make q

day. This department belongs specially
TO the ladies, and for that reason, proba-
bly,, the soldiers are particularly partial
to sweet cakes. Our ladies' must not
peril their well earned reputation by
stintng the supply of sweet cakes
