We have met with Captain Night of Tap

for The past II months been n prisoner on
Johnson's Island. He was removed from
the prison, on the 9th of January for the
purpose of exchange, and has just got with

gence from Col. VI. d. Graham that we have.
The Colonel was in good health but exceed
ingly anxious for an exchange.
Capt. Night reports the fare Of the pris-
oners as very scant and OF inferior quality.
A great many suffer extremely from hum
ger ard would literally starvc to death if
it were not that they are able occasionally
TO smugGle in small quantities of provisions.
They suffer so much from hunger that they
eat every rat they are able to catch. The
Yankee prisoners in our hands receive the
same rations as our own soldiers. This is
the difference between our people and the
