PRISONERS OF WAR.-In reply to a
resolution of the House of Represent
atives calling upon the Secretary of
War for the number of prisoners of
either side held and that died during
the war, he makes the following re-
port:
Number Of Union prisoners South, s6o,94O
Number of rebel prisoners North, 100000
Number Of Union prisoners died, 22,576
Number of rebel prisoners died, 26,4S6
We find the above paragraph in the
Washington Union Of Tuesday even
ing, and take it for granted that the
editor speaks from the record.
What Il commentary these simple,
severe statistics present on the loyal
falsehoods of Congressional buneombe
and Harpers' Journal Of Civil (and
poltical) Lies-ation
After all the "barbarities" of An
dersonville and Salisbury-after all
the hired perjury with which Wirz
was murdered-witha all the unbound
ed appliances for health, comfort and
cure, which the humane, Christian,
enlightened and civilized North pos
sessed-with all the utterly infamous
character of Washington official testi-
mony where "rebels" are concerned
with every motive for, with constant
practice Of, and unblushing notoriety
in, falsifying records to suit their case,
what are the facts Z
Out of 26l,000 Union prisoners,
22 800 died. Out of 100000 Confed-
crate prisoners, 26,500 died Tho
\ Union prisoners exceeded the Confed-
crate prisoners sixty-one thousand ;
yet the deaths of Union prisoners fell
below those of Confederate prisoners
four thousand.
Two "Yankee" prisoners died out
of every twenty-three in Southern
pens Two ''rebel" prisoners died out
of every fifteen in Northern pens.
