Cruelties to Prisoners.

cruel Ties 10 fIlSOlleIS.
The result in the case of Major JOHN II.
GEE, who had charge OF the Confederate
prison at Salisbury, and who has under
gone long and painful trial by military
commission upon accusation Of cruelty to
Federal prisoners, is gratifying to the pub
lie, and especially so to the friends of the
Major himself, who is gentleman of
honor and integrity, utterly incapable of
the cruclties imputed to him. The court,
as every one knows who knows this gentle
man, was fully justified in his honorable
acquittal.
1t would be nothing more than an ac-
auiescencc in the demands of justice and
humanity that the monotony of these pro-
secutions of the keepers of "rebel = pri-
sons should be relieved by an interludc, in
which some of those who treated cruelty
Confederate prisoners should be arraigncd
and, fairly tricd.s There were monstrouS
barbaritcs practiced upon some poor south
crn BOYS in northern prisons, the bare recital
OF WHICH HOW NouId indhS tiiS h."it .'|ii''
And yet those northern prisons could have
been supplied with every reasonable comfort
for the prisoner. We have no doubt, indeed,
that the Government had to pay for such
supplies, but the keepers, combining fraud
with brutality, intercepted them, appro-
priating them to their own benefit, and
leaving the prisoners, for whom they were
intended, to suffer. Many were thus muir
dered for such deaths as they died was
nothing less than murder. That such cases
were known topeoplc in the north, as well as
to southern prisoners, we have not doubt.
Yet. here we have entered upon the second
wear since the end of the war, and not one
Of them has been made the subject OF
official investigation, while the "rebel "
prison-kcepers have been hunted through
the handsome caught and tried, and one
h,mg.
In these trials of the southern officers
one leading, glaring fact has all the time
stood forth in bold relief, staring the ma
ton and the ,corld in the face: 1t was that
the south had not the means TO feed the
large number of prisoners she was forced
to keep by the repeated rejection of her
earnest propositions to exchange prisoners;
and those who controlled the decision OF
the Federal Government rejecting these
propositions were, in fact and in deed, the
authors of all the sutferings of the Federal
prisoners, and just public opinion in the
future and the unerring justice Of Heaven
will hold them accountable for the same,
and visit upon them the proper condem-
nation.

The Bureau in North Carolina.

Mr.. JONI O'CoNNoR, of Newborn, n. c.,
has had bout with the Bureau, in which
he has come out second best up to this
time, but he intends to carry the case be-
fore the President. He was summoned
before the Bureau on the charge of NAL
treating a negro woman. He denied the
jurisdiction of the Bureau, but he was
fined. The Magistrates Court undertook
to pass upon his case whcrcupon the Blu
rcau threatened to arrest the justices,
who, however, proceeded to try the case
despite the threats. Mr.. O'CoNNoR'S
counsel then produced before the Bureau
Court certified copy of the records ofthc
Special Magistrates Court in OCoNNoR's
case. and showed that his client was now
in the hands of the civil authorities to
answer the charge against him, and claimed
his discharge from military custody. The
Bureau refused to look at the documents
or TO recognize the action of the court, and
demanded the fine of fifty dollars, which
O'CoNNoR paid.
The case now goes up to Governor
WORTH, to be by him laid before the Pre-
Sdent.
We trust that the President will inter
pose to stop this intolerable interference
of the military with the civil authorities.
The point has been settled by Judge MEL
son, of the Supreme Court, that all such
proceedings are unlawful and unconstl-
tutional.

Immigration to Virginia.

Among the reports induStriously clrCu-
lated to the prejudice of the south at the
north, with the view Of helping on the
radical programme in the game OF politics,
is one that the south is unwilling to sell
lands to northern people, and that they
would not be allowed to live amongst
southern people. This is untrue. The
lands here that are in market are in mar
kct for any body, and the owners would be
glad TO see any men of means who desire
TO make investments in lands. What this
State wants especially is money, and We
would hail the arrival Of men from the
north or any where else, with money 10 In
vest, as an encouraging and cheering event.
We would not object even if there was
sprinkling Of the blue-noscs from New
England Money could no where find
more secure investment with better pros
pect of profit. We wish to assure moneyed
men Of this, and to invite them, without
distinction, to come here and lay out their
means.
The social relations Of newcomers are
under their own control. They cannot
expect the southern people to love the
people of the north yet-especially As
Congress continues daily to fomcnt sec
tional feeling and Undue the southern
mind with discomfort. But they will
always meet with civility, and ina little
while with kindness procided they do not
array themselves with dozen or so in this
State who advocate the disfranchisement
of the white man and the enfranchisement
OF the negro. We suppose no man will
have the folly to come to live here with
such sentiments. He may as well come
here with the threat to poison us all, and
expect to be taken by the hand. But
there is no barrier, social or political, to
any decent, sensible, and rational man
coming here from any quarter and pursu-
ing his occupation comfortably, content
edly, and successfully; and there is field
wide enough for all that choose to come,
and the means for the investment of all the
money they can bring with them.
The people here have no fears of the
reyolutionizing Of the character and senti-
ments Of their State in the matter Of libc
rality, fairness, frankness, justice, gene
rosity, and honor. They believe in the
unassailablc integrity Of Old Virginia
that her spirit is in the earth, and the air,
and on the waters-and that her genius
will rise superior to every trial, and con-
tinue to sway and animate her children.
No; let all come. We have no fear. Wiz.
ginia wants population, and she wants
means. She will know what 10 do with
them. She is yet destined to rise, like
AST4rs, brighter and stronger from having
fallen to the ground.

San SALvApOR.-The announcement that
the amiable and cStimablc late Provisional
Governor ofNorth Carolina had been nomi-
mated to the position Of Minister to San Sal
vador, creates Il general interest As 10 that
country. Everybody wants to know what
sort OF place it is, with reference to the
comfort and ease of Governor HOLDEN.
San Salvador is only city so called -
the chief city and seat Of government of
the State of Salvador, to which Governor
HOLDEN is really to be sent a. Minister
i. c., if his nomination is approved. San
Salvador is one Of the Central American
States, lies on the Pacific coast, and con-
tains population of about three hundred
thousand, consisting of sixty thousand
whites, sixty thousand indians, and one
hundred and eighty thousand ladinoS, or
the mixed breed between the whites and
Should more than double the two pure
races from which it sprung, which may be
explained in some sort 10y the fact that
the births show six females to four males
amongst the ladinOS. The Central Amc-
rican Republic occupies the narrow tract
of country lying between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, Immediately north of the
isthmuS of Darien and south of Mexico.
The Republic consists Of the States Of
Guatemala, Qucsaltcnango, Honduras,
Nicaragua, Salvador, and Costa Rica-thc
same that WALKER, " the man Of grcy-cycd
destiny" attempted to liberatc. The Re-
public lies between eight degrees five mi
nutcS and sixteen degrees sixty minutes
north latitude. The coast plains are subject
to violent tropical heats, but the mountain
ranges afford safe retreats from the tcvcrS
they generate, the elevation Of these ranges
enabling the inhabitants to accommodate
themselves with agreeable temperatures.
San Salvador, the capital, is quite exalted
above the sea, and as the mountain cleva-
tons run near the Pacific, every opportu-
nifty will be given the stranger there to flea
from heat and disease. The majority Of
the people of North Carolina will be very
much gratiicd if Governor HOLDEN finds
the place so agreeable that he will remain
there the balance Of his life.
