A Whole Company Desert and
Come into Our Lines.

NEwBERN, N. C- Feb. 26.-1 esterday
Company b, of the 9th North Carolina Con-
federate cavalry, which was raised in the
western part of the State came into our
lines in body, with their two Lieutenants,
their horses and equipments, numbering
over sixty men, and delivered themselves
up to our commanding officer at Camp
Palmer. After partaking of bountiful
feast they, with the old flag at the head of
their column, entered the city, the hospi-
tality of which they are now enjoying.
When they were informed that they would
receive pay for their horses and arms, and
be furnished employment or allowed to 90
North, they remarked that if it was gener-
ally known in the South that a reception
awaited the Confederate soldiers in our
lines, the entire army of the COnfederacy
would follow their example. The arrival
of the remainder of the regiment into our
lines is daily expected. They say that
Kinston is being evacuated and that South
Carolina troops are the first to give up and
acknowledge that the South is whipped.

ArriraI OF E.changed Pri.oners.

New YORK, March 1l.-Another batch
of Union prisoners from the slaughter pens
arrived this morning. The men belong in
the upper part of New York State, and
have been absent from their friends and
families over three years. These men, all
of whom have improved in appearance
since they have been exchanged, expressed
themselves in most bitter terms against the
treatment they received from the rebel au-
thorities. At Andersonville the men were
so reduced in flesh from the unwholesome
food which they were forced to eat or starve,
that sores broke out on their bodies.
In the battles before Richmond last spring
they were taken prisoners, and have been in
close confinement nearly one year. A fur
lough of thirty days has been extended to
them, after which they will return to the
front and rejoin their regiments.

and seven men near Chesterville, and anoth-
er of twenty near Ravine, from the main

our hands to be disposed of in like manner.
| hold about LOCO prisoners, captured
in various ways, and can stand it as
long as you; but hardly think these mur-
ders are committed with your knowledge.
and would suggest that you give notice to
the people at large that every life taken by
them simply results in the death of one of
your Coniederates. OF course you cannot
question my right to forage in the country.
lt is "a war right as old as history. The man
ner in exercising it varys with circumstan-
ces, and if the civil authorities will supply
my acquisitions | will forbid all foraging.
But find no civil authorities who can re-
spond to calls for forage or provisions, and
therefore must collect directly of the peo-
pie. | have no doubt this is the occasion of
much misbehavior on the part of our men,
but cannot permit an enemy to Judge or
punish with wholesale murder.
Personally, | regret the bitter feelings
engendcred by this war, but they were to
be expected, and simply alege that those
who struck the first blow and made war in
evitablc, ought not, in fairness, to reproach
us for the natural consequences. / merely
assert our war rights to forage, and my re-
solve to protect my toragers to the extent
of life for life.
