lnhunian Treatment o. Union
Prisoners in Texas.

NEW York, Aug. ls-The Tribune
Tyler. Texas, correspondent describes Camp
Ford, near that place, a prison pen second
only to Andersonville in the barbarism and
atrocities inflicted upon Union prisoners for
two years. The correspondent says that
sc0urged beaten and tortured. these pris
oners were too tar off and too close guarded
for their groans to be heard by those in the
outside world, and their sad story only be-
came known from their own shrunken lips
after they had been exchanged. 1t is a
stockaded incosure of, judge, eight or ten
acres This estimate includes all adjuncts Of
the prison. 1t is situated on the side of
sandy slope, at the lower edge Of which,
and Just within the stockade, is a spring
that supplied water to the prisoners. The
enclosure, which seems to have been en-
larged at different times to meet the re.
Quirements of the rebel captures, is filled
with huts and shanties Of almost every avail
able material Two barrels, one on top Of
the other, form the chimney of a hut made
OF bushes, the limbs Of which have been
pressed together and plastered together
with mud. Near the point at which we en-
tered, there is number of grave-like
mounds scattered over the space of about
one acre. |, at first, thought they were
were excavations in the ground which had
been covered with bushes and dirt. They
had been made by those OF our men who
had boen captured last, and for whom there
was no room in the huts above ground =
Everywhere are blackened spots which show
where fires had been made, by means Of
which those who had no shelter at all,
cooked their daily mite Of meal The cook
| ing ut onsils which they had used arc strewn
about as noticed in one OF the huls, piled
up with care, to wait further use. Toward
the upper side OF tho enclosure, VIII re there
seems to have been prison for the confino
ment of Offenders are several stumps, ir
the tops Of which those who violated any ol
the prison rules were made to stand and
mark time for perhaps whole day, while
the guard had imperative orders to shoeI
any one that stopped or fell off, from ex
haustion. The whole scene, with its asso
Citations, isa horrid illustration of the in
humanity that originated and carried OF
the rebellion until its overthrow.

A Monument to Major General
NCPheraOn.

A call from the "Army of the Tennessee,
for fitting testimonial to the worth and
services of their former noble commander,
who fell before Atlanta or the 22d of July,
comes to us through the Chamber of Com
merce, from which there has been selected
a committee consisting of Messrs. Adolph
Wood, James A. Frazier, Hugh McBirney,
S. q. Newton and j. l.. Talbot, to receive
subscriptions from the citizens of Cincin-
natl 1t is well known that he was the
idsl of his army, and his death cast gloom
over bis command which a glorious victory
could not readily dissipate. In the hearts
of his fellow soldiers fond remembrance
will ever be cherished, and the brave men
who composed the Army of the Tennessee,
as well as those who still bear its standard,
will not feel that they and their fellow citi-
gems have not adequately proved their graf
itude until suitable memorial shall be
erected over the tomb of the gallant dead.
The Army of the Tennessee have the enter
prise in charge, with the heroic Gen. John
Logan leading the work, assisted by Major
Gen. W, B. Hazen Of Cleveland, Brevet
Major Gen. NJ, d. Legget of Zanssville
and Brevet Brig, Gen. A. Hickenlooper Of
thia city. Nothing further need be said to
draw from our ci'izcns liberal expression
Of their appreciation of him Of whom Gen.
Sherman said that, had he not untimey
fallen, bewould have been the great Gen
eral of the conflict - Gin. Gaz.

ton at Harrisburg, on Thursday, twelve
resolutions were adopted; thanking the

ory Of ABR lHAM LINCOLN, and promis-
ing support to ANDREW JOHNSON; de-
claring in favor Of connscation OF the
property Of rebels, and for protection
to home labor; rcatfirming the MONROE
doctrine; recommending payment of
bounties to all soldiers honorably dis
charged; acknowledging a debt ofpub-
lie gratitude to Secretary STANTON and
his associates, also to Governor CURTIN;
recognizing the claims of citizen sol
diers to special regard in the making
of nominations; and denouncing the
leaders ofthe Democratic party for con.
slant hostility to the Government dur
ing the rebellion. The third and fourth
resolutions, relating to reconstruction,
say that the mild and generous method
Of reconstruction offered by the presi-
dent to the people lately in rebellion
having failed, they "cannot safely be
intrusted with hepolitical rights which
they forfeited until they have proved
their acceptance of the. results of the
