Well, Fisher was not Fredericksburg; Fort
Fisher was net Charlottesville; Fort
Fisher was not the Wilderness; Fort Fis-

general commanded at Fort Fisher at each
attack. One was without result but no
disaster. The last was a success. All
honor to General Terry and his brave vol
unteer soldiers. Again it is charged
upon US that We did not make so big a
hole in the Dutch Gap canal as we ought
to have made 1t may be that we did not

the explosion OF the nine at Petersburg

FRIDAY FEB. 8, 1865.
Rem arkable Statement
by Senator Hale.

A few days since Senator Hale, zeal
GUS adRinistratisn man, in speaking Of
the imprisonment of Smith, the witness
who revealed some gigantic frauds in the
Navy Departments, and who was thrown
into prison by the department in default
of Eve hundred thousand dollars bail,
made the following remarkable statement
was asked by the honorable senator
from Kentucky if Mr. Smith was arrested
because be gave testimony against the
Navy Department 1t is Impossible for
me to scan the motives Of men; it is
enough fer me to deal with my own
motives, and standing here under all the
responsibilities which, to mc--jealeas as
any man Of the little reputation that be
longs to me, careful of my very word as
NEST mep--I aver, before my country and
before my God, that l have not the
shadow of a doubt, that the cause of this
mans arrest and Incarceration was that
be gave evidences in that Investigation.
In that connection / have q remarkable
statement to make of the man who order
ed the arrest, and committed this outrage
in Boston, compared with which the in.
quisitioa was tender mercy. Being re-
monstrated with en- some reasea of this
sort. against sending these cases to the
naval and military courts martial, why he
did net take the ordinary courts of JUS
tice; he made this remarkable avo val !:
.'the civil courts are srganized to acquit;
but zoe organize courts to conuict.
This mans offence was that he revealed
the fact that the Secretary of the Navy
paid his brother -in-law. fer his services
In purchasing ships, greater conpensa-
tiea than is paid to the President, Vice
President and all the members Of the
Cabinet combined. For their he is arrest
imprisoned and eeart "organized to
convict him of crimes of which it now
clearly appears that there never was
shadow Of evidence or even suspicion that
he was guilty.
What veuder is it that this Senator
car say that there is mere sensy fraud.
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1865-02-15

alently taken from the treasury than
should carry On the government?
What wonder that fraud and corrap-
ton hold high carnival at Washington,
when the example of Smith is held in
terror over the heads ofany who should
attempt to expose rascahty?
It may as we'll be added that Senator
Hale was defeated for reelection by his
Abolition brethren for making-no not
for making, but for proving charges Of
corruption against the Administrations.

Atrscious Imposition in regard
re- THE ExcHANdE OF PRISONERS.


The falling out of regues is always to
the advantage Of honest people. Butter
and the War Department can no longer
carry on their laundering harmeniously,
and the consequences is that occasionally
a little Of their foul work is unmasked
Butler was the Departments Exchange
Agent, and in his late Lowell speech he
let's cut the cold bloedcd imppsitioa prac-
tised upon eur prisoners and their friends.
No rightly feeling man can read the fol-
loving without being stirred by indigna-
tien:
Ia August last SIR. Ould (the Rebel
;Cemmissioner) finding negotiations were
brskeA of. and that no exchanges were
made, wrote to General Hitchcock, the
commissioner at Washington, that the
rebels we're ready to exchange, man for
man. all the prisoners held by them, as
4 had proposed in December. Under the
Instructions Of the Lieutenant-General |
wrote to Mr. Uuld letter, which has
been Published, saying: ''Ds ,ou mean
to give up all yeur action, and revoke all
your laws about black men employed as
soldiers?" These questions we're therein
argued justly, as think, net diplomatic
ally, but obtrusiysly and demonstratively,
net for the purpose Of furthering Ex-
change Of prisoners, but for the purpose
Of preventing and stopping the Exchange
and furnishing a ground on which we
could fairly stand. am new at liberty
10 state these facts, because they appear
in the correspondence on the subject Of
exchange now on the public files Of Con-
gress, furnished by the War Department
upon resolutions.
There it is in plain English that the
Rebels were willing to exchange man for
man, all the prisoners, on eur ewn terms,
and that our authorities factiously raised
the question in regard TO negroes, and
thrust it 'obtrusively and demonstratively'
inte the discussion for the sole purpose of
stepping and preventing" an exchange
They even put the question in regard to
negroes in az distasteful form as possi-
BILE fer the purpose Of provoking the
Rebels to retrsct their compliance with
eur proposed terms. ~
All this time our brave soldiers, upon
whom the administration is so lavish OF
it's praises and its money until they are
Eallured into the service, were starving
and ,rot,ing in stinking, loathseme pris
ons. And sll this time Abraham Lin
coin was falsely assuring the people he
was doing all in his power to effect an
exchange. bsr
Butler boldly oonfesses that he was the
Instrument in the haRhs of this admins
tratiou employed to place the subject in
a false light, that it was already settled
and determined that no exchange should
take place. The devilish cuAning OF
Butler was was used by the cold blosded
linhumanity Of lincoln to maks the starv-
ing wretches in Southern prisons, and
freinds believe at the Rebels alone
we're to blame for the suspension of the
exchange This cruel scheme served the
doable purpose of masking Lincoln's re-
velting inhumanity, and of melting q
mere intense hatred of the Rebels.
