Thousands Of Union refugees, men, wo-
men, and children, broken-hearted
naked and starving; q great many are
here still They have fed from the
wicked and murderOus euerrillas, after
being robbed Of everything they pos
sessed They have lived In camps and
tents, by fires in the open woods, have
dragged out miserable existence for a
time, and died among strangers. Hun
dreds have suffered from the direct
want Of necessary food, shelter, and
clothing, while many residences in this
rstel1oss citi have been occupied by The
families Of those who were fighting
against DER county, or, being citizen
rebels. and Come traitors, hsve fed with
ia the rebel lines. Their families have
remained here protected, and have
welded an overwhelming social-in-
fluenoe Many Of Them are wealthy
and live in ease and comfort They
have busted themselves in giving in
formation 70 the enemy; IN carrying
delicacies to the rebel prisoners who
have been confined here for their
crimes and treason. And It IL stated
upou undoubted authority, and the fact
Il notorious in this capitol, that these
disloyal families never contributed, in
the slightest degree, TO the relief of the
poor and distressed women and chill
