THEHAW K-EYE
WeaAesday, February I5.,
! Treatment Of Prisoners.

What q comnleas upon the boasted chiv.
q airy and Civilization of the South, is their
. treatment OF Our Prisoners! It almost
equals the barpa-ism Of the Chinese and
the czueltes Of Daao mey. Starve men to a
pint Of miserable cora and cob meal per
day IN a Pen woica no northern farmer
would consider comfortable for hir hogs,
without shelter and without clothing. We
saw a letter the other day from q boy to his
mother. He had arrived at Annapolis from
the rebel pens, and wrote exultantly. He
was safe, but living skeleton. He had
Z not been sick day. The next day he died.
]. Contrast the barbarities of the rebels with
s our treatment Of their prisoners. They are
well fed and provided with every thing
needful. The deaA are decently buried
and every grave marked so that the body
j can be found AID removed by friends
, Hundreds and thousands of rebel prison
: ers refuse to be exchanged. Our prisoners
seek every opportunity aad brave every
danger to get away from their tormentors,
even preferring death itself to the fortunes,
cruelties aud starvation to which they are
subjected. s
Cruelty Is but another name for coward
ice. It 10 the bsst possible evidence Of
soowardios. !, The cruelty of the chivalry to
our prisoners il ct once the most disgrace
fhl and Infamous features of this cause
less rebellion. It IL refinement upon
the Indian ,oa-barities. The savage tribes
kill and scalp thesr prisoners-some Of
them feeding ttem upto fat and healthy |
condition and then killing and deyouring
them. Bat our bigh-toned rebels, who
boast Of their gentle blood, torture their
prisoners b. starvation. killing them by
inches, exposed to, heat and cold, rain and
mud, without shelter or clothing, breaking
the spirit, and almost destroying the very
form Of manhood. They beat the sayages
in this respect.
s How are We to protect the brave soldiers
now in rebel pens from these deve.;sh cru.
elites Ifsaere be any way that it can be
accomplished We ought to do it at once
We owe it to our soldiers aud we should (
resort to any measure, short ofcommitting
like cruelties and like enormities upon
prisoners in our hands, who are entirely
innocent so far as this matter ia concerned,
Means pr retaliation can aud must be de-
vised. Our brave boys must not 0e MUIR

maniacs-hroken down in health and splr.

@-The Commercial says of Gea. Dick
Taylor, who has succeeded Hood in the
command of the rebel "Army Of Tennes-
see:'
HE is an effective fighter when leading
q small force, but we have never ascribed
to him the capacity requisite to the com.
mand of whole military department"
That, perhaps, explains the appointment
Of Hood last summer. He was employed
to fight the army down to such size that
Dick Taylor could properly command it.

NEW YORK, April The steamer China, from

arrived. In the House Of Lords, Ear Russell laid
or the table a notification from Minister Adams Of
the intention of the American Government 10 termi-
nate the Reciprocity treaty and the Convention relat-
ing to the armed forces on the Lakes, and that the
said treaty would terminate twelve months from the
day Of the receipt Of the notice, which was acknowl.
edged. He admitted the acts committed on the Lakes
fully justified the American Government in the steps
taken. The RECIPROCITY treaty he trusted might De
renewed with certain notifications, and also that ar
engagements will be made for a limited armament
for police service-on the Lakes. He trusted the
present pacific relations between the two Governments
might continue, and hoped nothing would be done
in England TO interrupt them. He regretted that
speeches had been made in the House Of Commons
calculated TO excite an unfsyorable feeling in Amer
lea, and concluded by declaring England had not
acted wrongfully in any way towards America. Re-
it%erating his hopes for continued peace, he said Sir
Francis. Bruce, the new Minister, would sail on Sat

country would be safe in his hands.
