PORTRAIT OF A VILLAIy.-Thc Louisville jour

the subjoned picture of Champ. Ferguson, the
notorious murderer, liar and thief, now in jail
at Nashville, Tennessee
He has undoubtedly committed a greater num-
Der of malignant and horrid murders than any
other guerrilla in the rebel service. He has
seemed to think daily murders necessary to his
existence. He has regarded himself as getting
his living by taking lives. Ferguson has been
damnable rufian all his life. He began his career
of blood great many years ago by killing
Sheriff, or Deputy Sheriff who was trying to
rest him. Many time afterwards he has amused
his vile companions by throwing hipself upon
the floor and writhing and groaning in imitation
of his murdered victim. He is not man, but
monster-not human being but hend. Hang
ing is world too good for him. Heought to be
stretched upon the rack and tortured to death by
so slow process that every breaking nerve
should feel its own appropriate pang

An Infamous Rebel Fa}sehood
Dated at Chicago and Publish

An Attempt to Justify the Rebels
in Starving Our Prisoners.
from the n. 7. News.l
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. q, 1861.

az \ The condition and suffering Of tue
rebel prisoners at Rock Island is source Of
agony TO every heart not absolutely dcad to
the feelings Of common humanity, aud the
scantiest christian mercy, There gre from si1
to eight thousand confined here. Many have
selves from actual starvation. These rclcas-
ed prisoners, though liberated at different in
terTals Of time, nlI tell the same story. The
allowance 10 each man has been one small
loaf OF bread-it takes three to make a
pound-and piece of meat, twofn inches square
per day. This was the rations! Lately 1t
has been reduced. Think Of 1t Eeducedl All
the released ones say that no man can live on
the rations given, and that there are men
that would do anything to get enough
to eat! Each is the wrctched ravcnous
condition of these poor starving creatures,
thai several dogs which haze come to tue bar
racks with teams have fallen victims to their
for food, actually to save life. Many OF them
are nearly naked, bare-footcd. bafe-headcd,
and without bed clothes; exposed to cease.
less torture from the chill and pitiless winds
Of tho Upper Mississippi. Thus, naked aud
hungry, Ind in prison, enduring wretched-
gnagc lell, they suffer from day to day-each
day their number growing less by death
death, their only camfortcr-thctr only mee-
cifui visitor!
God in Heayen! Shall fthesc things con
tinueg Can VIC hope for success in our
cause? win a merciful and Just God bless
and prosper it, Hsuch cruel inhumanity is
practiccd by our rulerse May we not provoke
q terrible and just chastisenlent at His hands?
No christian heart, knowing the facts, can
feel otherwise.
Many charitable persona, Influenced by no
other motives than common humanity and
christian duty, have sent supplies Of clothing
10 these prisoners, but they have not been
permitted to reach them. have heard Of
Sales of such clothing having been made
across the river at Davenport, at very low
prices. Is 1t possible that the authorities at
Washington know Of and approve these
things?
A good many have taken the oath, stating
afterwards 10 citizens that they did so really
to eare thcm from starvation I learn that
there are about i've thousand confined here,
who have resolved to die rather than do so,
Although they arc wrong, is there not n sub
lime heroism In the adherence Of these men,
amid such trials. to cause which they be-
