PoELARD,s LOST CAUSE.

The Lost Cause" work written by Mr
b. A. Pollard, of the Richmond Examiner
will be ont in few days.
| We take from the author curious fact fol
the time substantiated by a distinct reference
| TO documents-tbat the Confederate author
tues themselves published to the Washington
government the mortality at Andersonvile
ana offered to that Government free gift oil
their sick and wounded prisoners
But the history of the extraordinary ef-
forts of the Confederate authorities to relieve
the sufferings Of AndersouviIle, through
some resumption of exchanges, does not end
with the proposition referred to as made by
Commissioner 0uld to exchange man for
man, and leave the surplus for the dsposi-
ton of the enemy. 1t was followed by an
other more liberal and extraordinary propo-
s,tion. Acting under the direct instructions
Of the Secretary of War, and seeing plainly
that there was no hope Of any general, exten-
ded or partial system of exchange, Commits
sioner 0uld in August, 1854, offered to the
Federal Agent of exchange, Gen. milford. TO
deliver to him all the sick and wounded Fed
eral prisoners we had, without insisting on
the delivery of any equivalent number Of
our prisoners In return. He also Informed
Gen. Muiford of the terrible mortality among
the Federal prisoners, urging him to be
swift IN sending transportation to the mouth
OF the Savannah river for the purpose of tax
ing them away. The offer of Commissioner
Ould included all the sick and wounded al
AndersonVille, and other Confederate prisons
He further informed Gen. Mulford. in order
to make his Government safe in sending
that if the sick and wounded
did not amount to ten or fifteen thousand
men, the Confederate authorities would make
up that number in well men. This offer, it
will be recolected, was made early in August,
1864 Gen. Mulford Informed Commissioner
Ould that it. was directly communicated to
nls government, yet no timely advantage
was ever taken of it.

1t was possible that thousands of prison |

act gives the clue to the whole story of the
deception and inhuman cruelty of the author

Still they go, by tens and ffteens and hun

some with full purses of gold, and many with

stop to further travel in that direction.
We have too many idle men about the

better be at work, making little stake
