Evidence is reported TO have recently come to
light, going TO show that the crnelties practiced
upon our at AudersOnvile were deliberately
planned by the rebel government, in order to
force an exchange of prisoners upon their terms.
The following statement is made on the subject
The judiciary committee has in its POSSESSION a
letter written by confederate soldier on duty at
the Andersonville prison pen, 10 Jefferson Davis.
The letter enters at length into details Of the bar
harous treatment, The writer says the federal
prisoners were frequently shot. and that rebel
officers were encouraging the slaughter. The
writer also says he hates Yankees was driven
from lis home in Louisiana by them, but still he
cannot endure service which compels him to
witness and take part in such cruelties as were
purposely practiced there. lie wrote to Mr. Da-
vie because lac believed him to be man of honor
aud Christian, and that the terrible treatment
melted out to the prisoners was certainly unau-
thorized by him. The &C lder urged that he might
be shielded from for writing the letter
and that President Davis should have the matter
Investigated and the abuses corrected The in
dorsments show that Davis received this letter
but that his only action in the was to refer it
to Gen. Ninder, the person directly responsible
for the whole atrocious prison system of the rebels.
IL Is known that there also in the possession
of the government two letters from rebel surgeon
at Andersonville to the Richmond authorities one
protesting against the barbarous treatment of the
federal prisoners, and a subsequent one, evidently
written after he had received an answer to the
first, he then apologies for his previous protest,
| saying that when 1t written he did not know
that there were diplomatic reasons for the course
pursued towards the prisoners and in another
place he speaks of having been ignorant Of the
international reasons for the treatment our prison.

the proposed line in New Hampshire and por-
ton Of il in Maine TO be provided for BY this

and with a connecting line OF steamers IT is be-
heyed in Portland that very large foreign trade
