Deliberate Starvation Of Our Py-is-
OnerS.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald states that the rebel
congressman Foote declared Davis and his
cabinet responsible for the starvation OF
our prisoners He says:
Mr. Foote was member of the COM
mittee TO examine into the treatment OF
the prisoners and the reports of their
harsh usage and starvation His story, as
told by his own relatives, shows a deeper
intention than has been generally SUP
posed, and iastens upon jeff Davis and
his cabinet 4 crime both startling and ap-
palling in It's details Mr.. Foote, it Is
said, states that the Investigations showed
conclusive evidence that it was decided in
cabinet meeting TO reduce the rations
served out TO the prisoners, that ii should
so weaken their constitution, in connec-
ton with their confinement, that II would
destroy them as soldiers, and make them
when exchanged worthless. Senator Fooie
determined TO report these facts 10 the
House. but the balance of the committee
overruled him and suppressed the facts
Ny informant further states that Ii was
on this point that the quarrel between Da-
Wis and Foote broke out afresh, which re-
suited In the latter leaving Richmond and
seeking some sequestered spot where such
horrid deeds were not committed
