The Prisoners at the Dry Tortugas.

William White, of Henrico county, Va. one of
the prisoners at the Dry Tortugas, who was
recently pardoned, has arrived at Memphis. He
is quite youth, and has been confined on the
island about two years, under conviction of
being spy during the war. The Memphis
Appeal says:-
Mr.. White was, for time, roommate of DR..
Mudd, who was sentenced to hard labor for life
in the Dry Tortugas, for alleged aiding in Wilkes
Booths escape after the murder of Mr.. Lincoln.
The Doctors health is rapidly failing, and Mr..
White believes he will not live through the sum-
mer. Spangler and Arnold are quite WELL and
even their confinement does not seem very seri-
ously to affect their general physical or mental
we'll. being. The State prisoners are compelled
to rise al o'clock A. NJ; after breakfastng at z,
go out to work, and are employed in cutting and
carving stone to build the fort until IL O'clock,
when one hours intermisson is allowed, the
work being resumed at l P. NJ. and continued
until O'Clock. On. rainy days no work is
required. The same ration issued to the
United States soldiers is distributed to the pri-
soners, and though coarse, Is abundant and
wholesome in quality. He represents the island
as sterile and depressing in appearance but as
cooled by refreshing sea breeZes, and the con-
densed water used is palatabfc and healthy.
He further says a marked Improvement in
the treatment OF the prisoners has been insti
tinted by the officers and soldiers of the
nth United States REGULAR Infantry, who re-
lieyed the former garrison OF negro soldiers.
When the news of the fall OF Richmond arrived,
an issue of whisky to "all hands" was made in
honor of the event, and the prisoners we're libe-
rally included, but though many of them had
been for long time deprived of theluxury,
five of the number, including Mr.. W., refused
10 touch It, or enjoy the holiday also granted to
all on the island, in celebration of such signal
triumph Of the Union arms. The prisoners are
occasionally so fortunate as to obtain Hayapa
cigars and tropical fruits from the neighboring
island of Cuba and the Federal officers hui
namely permit the indulgence.
