Condition Of Salisbury Prison

BALTIMORE, March 15.-Capt. McDOn-
aid, of the Light Ship at Smith Point,
who was captured nearly year since by
she rebels, has just returned home after
4 long imprisonment at Salisbury, n {.
He fully confirms previons accounts OF
the horrors of rebel prisons. He learned
from one of the corporals who had charge
of the matter, that from the 10th OF DC
tober to the lst OF January, 5,e75 OF our
men died ont Of 10000 imprisoned. ho
saws the physicians IF Salisbury vOlun-
teered their services to attend prisoners,
and showed evident sympathy for suffer
ers doing what they little they could, H
dicating that they were in heart loyal
lists, but the rebel officers would permit
nothing to be done to mitigate their SUIT
ferings.
Patients with typhoid fever and other
diseases. with scarce rag TO cover thell

of some wretched workshop, which was
used as "a hospital Sometimes, little
straw or other litter was obtained for the
sick, but snch was the accumulation OF
filth and the want of nourlsbing food,
that death was the only relief for the
sick. thousands of our men dying with

wigfnIi ga Curse to Hi. Country"


Senator Wigfall, who has been pursu-
ing very extraordinary and very repre-
hensible course during the whole of the
present session of Congress, seemed in
spired, in his speech OF Tuesday night,
by desire to surpass all his previous of
fences against the public interests. His
speech was violent, unpatIiotic, and CEN
surable in the highest degree; devoted to
the advocacy OF extreme fancies, and to
the abuse Of those who stand infinitely
higher than he in the public confidence
He denounced the Virginia Legislature
as "a one horse concern" (where were
our Senators that they had no word of
rebukel) denounced the press, poured
ont his bitterness upon the President,
and demanded that he and the Vice
President should resign.
There is, perhaps, not patriot IN the
land who will not think that Mr. Wigfall
should himself take the advice he gives,
and resign his seat in the Senate. Had
he done so at the beginning OF the ses-
sion, great deal of time would have
been saved to that body, which has been
far worse than wasted. One of the last
speeches which the writer heard IN the
old United States Senate was from Mr..
Wigfall, in which he deted the North
and almost invited them to the battle
Little did we then expect, when the war
should indeed come, to see him pursue
the course which has made his further
service during the session now about to
close. au evil and Il curse to his country.
Would that he would take pattern from
that patriotic body Of men who represent
the sentiment and the manliness OF Vlr-
ginia, but whom he thinks it allowable
to refer to with words of insult Wonld
that he would support, as he ought to do
