TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.

Z 20
New YORK, July 8.-Henry s. Foote, late of
the Rebel Congress, now in Montreal, pub
fishes card in the Herald, concerning the bar
barrie treatment of Union prisoners, in which
he says: .-. t...
Touching the Congressional report referred
to, have this to say: A month or two ante
rior to the date of said report, learned from
a Government officer of responsibility, that
prisoners of war then confined in and about
Richmond were suffering severely for want OF
provisions. He told me further that it was
manifest to him that q planned and
systematic scheme was on foot for subjecting
these unfortunate men to starvation that the
Commissary General Northup, most wicked
and heartless wretch, had addressed commu-
nication to Mr.. Seldom, the Secretary of War,
proposing to withhold meat altogether from
military prisoners then in custody, and to give
them nothing but bread and vegetables, and
that Seldom had endorsed the document con-
corning this-''recommended affirmatively."
He then moved for a committee of investi
cation in the rebel House of Representatives,
but this was at first refused and he was most
acrimOniously censured by several members
for introducing the subject into the House at
all. He persevered, however, obtained the
committee, and succeeded in finding the d0cu-
nent referred to, signed by NOrthup and en-
dorsed by Seldom, the latter adding that the
time had come for retaliation upon the pris.
oners of war of the enemy.

Some are at present in this city receiving a
supply of coal and water, others are in Mobile
Bay for the same purpose, and in order to give
the officers on board time to clean up the yes

troops, while Others are detained off Brazos

The 4th Corps arrived here on transports a
few days since from up the Mississippi river,
and are at present In camp on the old Jack
son battle ground, distance about six miles
from the city. 1t is understood that they will
be ordered to Texas as soon as Gen. Sheridan
returns from Brownville.
The concentration OF troops in Texas en-
crosses to great extent the conversation of
the people of this city. 1t is supposed that the
numerical strength of the force about to occu-
DIV the country, including cavalry, infantry and
artillery, will be at least $500 effective men

State Is dissolved and the war between the two
parties stands on the sau,o ground In every re-
spect a. q public war between two different ma
lions. Whether republic be split into two
factions, each maintaining that it alone consti-
tutes the body of the State, or kingdom is d.
vided between two competitors for the crown,
the nation is severed into two parties who will
mutually term each otherprebels. Thus there
exist in the State two separate bodies who pre-
tend to absolute independence, and between
whom there is no judge: They decide their
quarrel by arms, as two different nations would
do. The obligation to observe the common
laws of war towards each other is therefore
absolute, indispensably binding on both par
ties, and the same which che law of nature
imposes on all nations in transa ctions between
State and State"
Who does not recognize in this language the
voice of common sense, of justice, and of truth?
If Vattel had lived in our day, could he have
more accurately defined the exact character of
the recent contest in America? Has, then, the
current of civilization been turned back upon
its sources, and are the maxims of humanity
and wisdom less understood or less obligatory
than they were o century ago?

Vermont.

The following is the resolution of the
Vermont Democratic State Convention in
support of the policy of President JOHNSON:
Resolred, That in the wise and constitutional
policy of President johnson to restore all the
States to their constitutional position, reinvest-
ing them with rights and Corresponding du-
ties, and cementing anew the integrity of the
Government, we discern most happy augury
that the malignity which strife and collision
have engendered may be happily supplanted
by the fraternity which enabled our fathers to
form the Constitution and create the Union !:
and If, with Jacksonian frmness he viii main.
tain his policy against the plottings of treason
on the one hand, and the raving and ribaldry
of fanaticism On the other, we tender to him
onr earnest and undivided support.

BooT AND SHOE FACTORIES. boot
and shoe manufactures in this State are
now all in operation, and all the workmen
find employment, with fair wages. Good
workmen make from $3.50 to So or $3.50
per day. There is not very large stock
on hand, and generally the manufacturers
are at work in anticipation of the fall
trade. This is not the season for trade
with the South, but there are some small
orders for that section of the country, and
a few of the old traders have come here,
and after compromising with or paying
their creditors, have obtained new cred
its. Many of them, however, are dead,
or reduced to poverty, and most of the
business there must be in the hands Of
new men.-BOston Irdceller.

A GREAT NATIONAL PARrY. tn,

A GREAT NATIONAL PATTY. THE Louis
vile Journal says: "ANDREw JOHNSON
has marked out the platform of great
national party, the mission Of which shall
be to>restore the Southern States to their
former equality in the Union, and again
cement the ties that should always bind
the North and South together. Tbe
masses OF the loyal States and those of
the States lately in rebellion, will cordially
sustain President JOHNSON, while the ultra,

harmless minority, without influence to

taking.
From the London Times, June 10.

From the London Times June 49,
At length all the preparations connected
with the final departure of this great tele-
graphic expedition are completed. On
Wednesday the Amethyst, left the tele-
graph work with the last length of 245 miles
of cable on board, and on Sunday the opera
ton OF coiling this in was begun. The work
will probably last till the 22d inst. Before the
following spring tides set in, about the
9th or 9TH of July the Great Eastern will
start for Valentia. There she is expected
to arrive about the 9th or 10th, and there
she will be met by the two ships of war ap-
pointed to convoy her-the Terrible and the
Sphinx. Both these vessels are being fitted
with the best apparatus for deep-sea sound
end of the cable, if ever it should become ne
cessary and with BOilenis night light naval
signals, with which the Great Eastern is like
wise to be supplied. To avoid all chance of
accident, the big ship will not approach the
Irish coast nearer than twenty or twenty-five
miles, and her stay off Valentia will be limited
to the time occupied in making splice with
tina massive shore end, which for length of
twenty-five miles from the coast, will be laid
previous to her arrival. Ea .7
With regard to the process of laying, it is
hoped the Great Eastern may be kept through.
out the whole voyage at uniform speed of
six knots per hour, faster than which it would
not as rule be safe to run out the cable. At
less speed than this, however, the big ship
would fail of Storage way, and with beam
wind would certainly 60 to leeward without
some counteracting influence.
This influence will be afforded if necessary
by the paddle engines, which are to be discon-
nected, and the effects of one wheel at either
side would be quite sufficient to counterbal-
ance the effects of any thing but violent
storm. This latter risk is now literally all
that has to be feared. On this only doubtful
point, therefore, it is gratifying to know that
Captain Anderson is sanguinc of all going well.
Yet in this estimate of events, it must not be
forgotten that in the last memorable expedi.
ton in the Agamemnon, midsummer was fixed
on as the time when storm in the Atlantic
was almost impossible, and the records of the
meteorological department., both here and in
America, certainly justified such an expecta-
ton, as they showed that for fifty years no
storm had taken place at that time. Yet it
was precisely on the 21st of June that the
hurricane with which the Agamemnon and
Niagara had been battling for some days was
at its height, and those on board the ill-stowed
Agamemnon, at least knew not from hour to
hour which was to be their last. Most earn
estly is it to be wished that on this great occa.
sion the calculation of averages. if not more
Just, may prove at least more fortunate. As
far as regards the cable itself, there is abso-
lutely nothing to be desired.
