"THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY
RELIEF ASSOCIATION"

An appeal to the Christian and Humane
The recent laying-waste. of the Shenandoah
Valley, has caused untold suffering with peo-
pie who once possessed happy homes and fresides,
farms handsomely stocked with cattles and barns
filed with grain and hay. The Garden. of Yir-
ginia" has, in measure, become p desert, and
entire households have, from the effects of 'pinch
ing want, been reduced to an actual state
dependence upon the charitable and humane
Large numbers of these people, from the grand
parent with whtened locks to the innocent,
helpless babe at its mothers breast, are contin-
ually arriving inside of the Federal lines. Their
appeal for succor in their sore distress ought not
to pass UNDECIDED. TDe
A number OF the Ladies of uagerstown Mary
land, have organized themselves into a Society
for the relief of the distressing wants Of these peo-
pie, made still more severe by the Indictment win

able in their work of mercy. Mr.. Daniel Dech-

The late Senator Hicks.

We have been favored by our Representave
Col. e. Fl. Webster, with copies of the Congress
sional Globe containing the proceedings of both
Houses on the death of Senator Hicks. ELOQUENT
and feeling addresses were delivered on the &C.
casion by the members from this State, as well as
by number from other States, and most pro-
found regretat his death every whore evident.
Thomas Holiday Hicks was no scholar, no
orator. Deprived Of the privileges of even a
good common school education, he relied through
lifeupon his sound principles of character, and
the dictates Of practical common sense He en-
tered on his official careeras Constable of district
in Dorchester county. He died Senator Of The
United States The history of bis life is another
illustration of the bcneiccnce of our free institu-
lions, and will quicken the spirit of many a
poor and aspiring boy in the years to come

Baltimore County, Prisoners.

report has gained some circulation that sew
eral of the Baltimore county Union soldiers who
were captured by theencmy, have gone overto the
Rebels, in order to avoid being starved or frozen,
in the miserable dens in which they are confined.
We have before us a letter from Mr.. D. B. Will
helm of the sixth district, whose son has just re-
turned after an Imprisonment of fourteen long
and painful months. Mr.. Wilhelm, Jr., was a
member of the 9th Nd, and was captured at
Charlestown Va.
He was first confined at Belle Island, naar
Richmond with others of his Regt., and after
wards sent to Georgia. He has had every OPP
portunity for knowing the condition of our pris-
oners and emphatically denies the report, that
any Of our brave men, even with the most tortu-
rous death staring them in the face, were induced
to go over TO the enemy Every one who has
any sympathy for the friends and relatives ofour
unfortunate prisoners, should take pains 10 de-
ny this report. 1t were indeed no wonderif the
heartless enemy had succeeded in forcing some
of our men into nominal allegiance to their
wicked cause But we are proud to say, on Mr..
Wilhelm statement, that the Baltimore county
boys, met their cruel and lingering death like
heroes, and spurned the offers of the enemy with
all the Indignation that their falling strength al
lowed them. Let no one who has any regard
for the memory Of the brave men who are rotting
in the sands of Georgia, or dying by inches in
the prison pens of the South, hereafter he found
spreading the report that some have gone over
to the enemy to escape cruel and painful death.
We are sure that their parents would say with
old Mr.. WilhelR, 81 would rather that my son
had died-hard as his death might have been,
than TO have heard that he had gone over to the
Rebels" Mr.. Wilhelm, the returned prisoner,
we are glad TO hear, is slowly recovering, though
still very weak and greatly broken down. We
hope he will soon recover sufficiently to give us
an account of his suderings in the hands of the
Rebels

False Leniencz.

The Frederick Erdminer tells of a Rebel prso-
ner Of war named VIM. Shpley, who was
wounded and captured at Gettysburg, and who
I has ever since been an inmate of hospital in
Baltimore. A short time since he received fur
Tough Of thirty days from our authorities, and
went up to Frederick, where he was sporting
around at grand rate with his friends
The Annapolis Gazette mentions similar case
that of Thomas G. Pratt, son of the Ex-Govern-
or, who was captured at Fort Fisher. This man
was in the Rebel army about three years, and is
now at Annapolis ''enjoying all the pleasures of
home and untrammeled liberty
Now we don't believe in turning half savage,
and shooting, starving and outraging the pris-
oners who fall into our hands, but we think
decent respect for our unfortunate soldiers who
are now lingering in the shadows of death in the
Rebel prison pens, as well as proper regard for
the feelings of Union men at home demands that
this shameless leniency shall cease These fellows
entered the Rebel army of their own free will. In
view of the crimes they have committed against
their country, it is little enough to ask them TO
take the oath of allegiance before they are re-
stored to liberty If they decline doing this, then
let them be held as prisoners and not as visitors
in our midst, until they can be exchanged for
some poor, sunken, broken down prisoners in
Rebel hands. The enemy grant no thirty day
furloughs to our captured men to go off fifty
miles or SO By railroad. and have a high time
among old friends Within a foot of the s'dead
) line is death 10 any of them ltsirikes US there
ought to be a little censure, a little punishment
attached TO treason. Some of our authorities
seem to think it entities a man to special favors,
and their tender bosoms seem to yearn for an OPP
portunlty of restoring to home and friends, the
men who have been the sad cause of all our woe
