CARD FROM HENRY S. FOOTE.

NEw YORK, July O.
Henry S. Foote, late of the rebel Congress-
now in Montreal, publishes card in the Her
aid concerning the barbarities on Union priso-
ners in which he says: Touching the Con-
gressional report referred to- | have TO say that
a month or two anterior to the date of said re-
port | learned, from an officer of respectability
that the prisoners of war then confined in and
about Richmond were suffering severely for
want of proper food. He told me further that it
was manifest to him that systematic scheme
was on foot TO putthem to starvation; that Gen.
Northup, most wicked and heartless wretch,
had addressed communication TO Mr.. Seddon,
proposing to withhold meat altogether from the
military prisoners then in custody and to give
them nothing but bread and vegetables, and that
Mr.. Seddon had endorsed the document con-
tanning this recommendation. He then moved
for a committee of investigation in the rebel
House of Representatives, bui this was at first
refused, and he was acrimoniously censured by
several members for introducing the subject in
to the House. He preserved, however, and OBJ
tanning the committees, and succeeded in find
ing the document above referred TO, signed by
Northrup aud endorsed by Seddon, the latter
adding that the time had come for retaliation
upon the prisoners Of war OF the enemy.

GoyERNOR BOLDEN,s POIICy.

The Raleigh Standard undertakes to speak
for Governor Holden, as follows:-
Governor Holden has devoted himself to the
work ofrecOnstructisn on the basis of supreme
attachment TO the Federal Union, and he will
stand unfinchingly by the governmental at Wash
ington. Nothing viii move him from this pos
itiOn. While he has charity for all malice to-
wards none" !" he has an inherent, educated love
for the American Union which will guide
him in all acts. 1t is his business to see that
the government of North Carolina is reconstruct
ed by loyal men. This business he intends to
transact with set purpose and firm nerve, in
this he will be sustained by a large majority of
the people of this State. What says Virginia2
Have her people yet held any Union meetings?
Are they going to do it? If Virginia will take
a correct view of the situation, and lift herself
above the influence of prejudice, resentment
and passion, she will make of herself great
State. She will live again, and her career
will be prosperous and glorious. But in or
der TO accomplish this, she must become a
Union State, as North Carolina is, both in sen
timent and action.

The New York Herald certainly has very
concise way Of putting facts. 1t says
There never can be party successfully con-
