Retaliation.

Major Webber, Of Gen. Morgan's com
raand, and one OF the prisoners confined
in the Ohio Penitentiary, recently wrote
p letter to some person in the Southern
Confsderacy,, in which he took the high
ground, that no matter whether they suf-
fered lifelong Imprisonment OF died in
prison the Confederate Goyei nment
should preserve its integrity of principle,
and never recognize negroes as soldiers
and prisoners of war. Fer this express
sion Of his sentiments Major Webber was
placed in solitary confinement in ia.
cell and subject to other iidignities. This
coming to the ears of Gen. Morgan, he
communicated the fact to the Confederate
Government, and an order has been issued

the Pennsylvania Legislature, now held

is responsible for that suffering yet it is
right every one should know The rebels
90 not want the Union prisoners there
They find difficulty enough in feeding
their own soldiers, and would gladly send
oars home. But few weeks ago, the
cartel OF exchange was suspended by the
authorities ut Washington on some friyo-
lous panctilio, and it rem;ins suspended
We hold in the various military prisons
in the East and West; some H. 900 South-
err soldiers as prisoners. The admins
tration will not allow these men to he sent
home. Itis for this reasons alone that tho
rebel authorities continue to hold thf
$4,000 Union soldiers who have iallel
into their hands as prisoners Farmer.
If this delectabIe Administration de-
sired an exchange of prisoners, why die
they send Gen. Butler, (the most obnox
ions man in the north, TO the confederates,,
to Fortress Monroe as Commissioner o.
Exchange? Yhe Administration knew
then, as well az they know now, that ht
could dc nothing, 1t is an outrage tina
our soldiers are to be left to lanqpish il
Southern prisons, many of whom hav,
been there eight and nine months already
fust because an imbecile Administration
are determined to brave the South out
andimake them come to terms, with mai
with whom We opine they never will treat
The confederates want their men which W,
hold as prisoners just as much as we wan
ours, and if suitable Commissioner wa
appointed, the exchange could be effected
without any difficulty.
