Our rPrisoners-Windcr,t the Infn nous.
IL Is enough to make ones heart ache 10 hear
the stories of suffering, destituton and inhu-
maniiy which comes from the lips of our re-
turned prisoners. Stripped of their clothing,
plundered of their valuabes, often brutally
handled, they were crowded into huge pens,
without tents, without blankets, without fire.
with neither axes nor spades with which TO pro-
vide fuel, or make the smallest provision for
their personal comfort. At Columbia when
they killed and buried the bloodhounds which
were used to put on the track of escaping fugi-
tives, their bodies were exhumed and thrust
into the stream above the camp which supplied
the imprisoned, with water. While in almost
all the pens filth, starvation, insufficient cloth
ing were doing their work. and pestilence hur-
ried thousands TO unimely graves. No record
was kept of the dead. The satisfaction was de
MED the survivors of preserving a record, for
the friends of the lost, of those who were in
humanity murdered and but for the vigilant
activity OF the survivors, all trace of them
would have passed away. On scraps of paper,
on margins of newspapers on the backs of old
letters, the name, of many were preserved but
cores perished the unknown martyrs of u no.
BILE cause. Peace to their ashes Their fate
may have escaped human cognizances, but it
will mot elude the eye of Him in whose hands
are the avenging issues of an inevitable retri-
button.

FELLOW. CITIZENS OF SAvANNAH:-At the
request of the Aldermen of the city of Savan-
nah, and OF a large number OF the citizens,
have convened you together, this day, for YOU
TO give expression to your views and sentiments
in the trying state of affairs in which YOU are
now placed 1t is for us no longer q crisis
The crisis is past, and is for you to decide upon
the particular line of action each and all of YOU
may determine 10 pursue.
Our action is to he determined solely by our
situation, as we have no authority or power to
speak for Others outside of our limits. But we
are the judges of our own situation, can speak
for ourselves, and ought so to do, by ali the
considerations Of prudence, and, | will say,
common sense and humanity, to mitigate, il We
can, the effects of the heavy blow which has
fallen upon us.
Our city contains 90 600 inhabitants, without
food, without fuel without any remun. ratiye
industrial pursuits, without any place of refuge,
cut off from all connection with the country
The heart sckens at the sight thus presented.
1t is our duty TO mitigate, as we cannot avert,
the terrible suffering by all the means which
reason and common sense may dictate, regad d.
less OF all abslraciive views. / have weighed
the matter anxiously, and have arrived at a
positive conclusion that there is but one course
for you to pursue. But it is not my province
as calling the meeting, to say more at present
When the city was taken, through me as chic
magistrate, you asked protection. You al
know that ii was granted YOU, and we all fee
deeply indebted to Brig. Gen. Geary for hi
conduct as commandant of this city. Haviss
convened you and expressed in part my views
it remains for you to appoint chairman of th
meeting.
The following resolutions, reported by
Committee, were unanimously adopted
