sgainst and in favor of ifty-dollar bonds
the needlewomen of the Northern and
Western villages, cities and towns, and
the mechanics and apprentices of thrifty
habits and patriotic faith stepped forward
and settled the question authoritstively,
in favor of both issues. Thirteen hundred
and fifty of them carried their little earn
ings to Jay Cookies agencies, and bought
hfty-dollar bonds, and eighteen hundred Of
them bounght ene-hudred-dollar bonds. A
telegram communicating this important
fact to the proper committee in Washing

under discussion. The provision in the
bill authorizing the issue of the small
bonds was retained.

UniOnism at Camp Chase-A Good
Specimen of Rebel TruthfuIness.
1t will be recolleeted that recently a
large number of the rebel prisoners at
Camp Chase refused to be exchanged, hav-
ing had enough service in JEFF. Davis ar
mics. The Richmond E1ansiqer is re-
spOnsible for the following impudent per-
version of facts: -
From some of our prisoners recently re-
turned from Camp Chase, we hesr that the
Yankee authorities are using all means
the vilest deception, of course, and some
times actual violence-to induce or con-
strain our prisoners to take the oath of al
legisnce. When one lot Of prisoners we're
sent off from Camp Chase the remainder
we're told that there was no prospect Of
general exchange, that they hsd been
left in the lurch, and that no other means
remained for their extrication from prison
than to swear allegiance to the Yankee
Government. This ingenious deception
is, of course, not without some effect.
The few hundred prisoners recently re-
turned from Camp Chase, before their de-
parture, were drawn up in line, and each
was required, when his name was called,
to say "Yes," if he desired to be exchanged,
and fNo" if he preferred to remain in the
North. Out of the three hundred men one
answered "No" One of his comrades un-
dertook to rebuke him. he was singled
out by the Provost Marshal, placed in irons
before the eyes Of the other prisoners, and
it was announced before them that for his
temerity he would be kept in irons until
the close of the war. We have been prom
ised the name of this unfortunate person;
IS it has been suggested that the circum-
stances of the outrage furnish grounds for
some sort Of retaliation.

As wise IN this respect as the rodent YER

House of the Confederate Congress have
been clipping off one by one until there is
now barely q quorum for trAnsscting busi-
ness. They have done it very quietly. Like
the Arabs, they "silently steal away
But the fact has leaked out that
the valiant Lawmakers Of the Oonfederacy,
trembling at Sherman's approaching col
umns, have lkedaddled. The Richmond
papers are at last compelled to aIlude to
the matter, and are loud in their attacks
upon the fugscious congressman, and in
calls upon General Lee to bring them back
BY military force. But that General has
all he can do to attend to Grant and Sher-
man, without running the Confederate
Congress, and that body will probably be
left to fly to pieces from the centrifugal

an example which will soon be followed
by the whole Confederscy.

The PRAYER nee, ing To-day.

The prayer-meeting at the Second Pres
byserian Church, commencing at balfpsst
eleven this morning, the hour which cor
responds with noon at Washington, is a
most appropriate one, and should be uni
versally attended by the religious COM
munity. The dangers from which we
have been providentislly preserved as a
natiop, during the last four years, should
call for national gratitude and praise, and
the dangers which still threaten US, though
by no means as terrible as those which we
have survived, still suggest the necessity
Of humiliation before God and supplication
for his continued mercy.

Letter from Captain Beam.

The Richmond Sentinel publishes the
Ibjoined letter from Beall, who was e1ecu.
ted as a pirate and spy on Saturday last.
It says:
The following letter, received by flag Of
truce, will show the spirit of the shove gal
liant young Confederate soldier, who lies
under sentence of desth in 8 Northern
prison, of which notice has been lately pub
fshed. The sentiments he expresses in this
farewell to his brother are such as will in :
spire a universal respect and sympathy.
To an unblenchiDg manliness as to his own
fate he exhibit chivalrous tenderness for
his captive foes that is solicitous, even IN SO
trying an hsur, lest the severity denounc-
ed against him might be retorted BY his
outraged kindred. To hang such man,
on such charge as that under which he
has been convicted, would be an enormity
which we will not credit in advance even
of such enemies as ours:
Fort LAFAYETTE, Feb. IA, 1865.
DEAR WILL: Ere this reaches You, you
viii most probably have heard of my death
through the newspspers-that 1 was tried
by military commission and hung by the
enemy; and hung, I assert, uDjustly. 1t
is both useless and wrong to repine for the
past. Hanging, it was asserted, was igao-
minious; but crime only can make dis
honor. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord,
and will repay; therefore, do not shoiO
,slkindness to prisoners. They are help
less
Remember me kindly to my friends.
Say TO them that am not aware of CON-
milting any crime against society. die
for my country.
No thirst for blood or lucre animated me
in my course; for had refused, when So
licited, to engage in enterprises which
deemed to be destructive but illegit-
innate; and a few months ago I had
but to have spoken, and 1 would have been
red with the blood and rich with the plum
der of the foe. But my hands are clear Of
blood, unless it be split in conflict, and not
cent enriches my pocket. Should you be
spared through this strife, stay with moth
er and be comfort 10 her old age. Endure
the hsrdships Of the campaign as man.
In my trunk and box you can get plenty
of clothes. Give my love to mother; the
girls, too. May God bless you all, now and
evermore, is my prayer and wish for you.
JOHN I. BEALL.
