prisoners, taken from the prisons OF
Georgia and South Carolina, many OF
whom we're well men, and by far the
larger part were able to walk without as
sistance.
Gen. Mulford delivered to me about
three thousand 10000 Confederate pris'
oners, taken principally, believe, from
the prisons at Elmira, New York.
Col. Ould has truthfully aud graphi-
caly photographed this delivery as
Cargo of Living Death" In my long
and sad experience l have never seen
such sight. No such cargo OF human
beings was ever seen before, and, trust,
will never be again. The sad story, OF
actual truth or fiction, Of the sufferings
Of prisoners on both sides furnishes no
parallel.
The official roll OF this delivery Of
prisoners from the time Of their parole
in prison, exhibiting the deaths on the
trains, TO their places of embsrkation,
on shipboard, by sea TO Savannah-their
sickness, suffering and emaciated con
dition--ars the darkest record of the
war, and furnish complete answer to
the exaggerated and unfounded stories
Of our cruelty to prisoners. Great as
the mortality aud suffering were, it
would have been ten-fold greater but for
the humane and unremitting exertions OF
Gen. Mulford and the officers.
| cannot close this letter without ad-
ding to that of Col. Ould my own testi-
mony to the high character Of Gen. John
L. Mulford. We were thrown together
in the discharge Of the same arduous du-
ties for a period of nearly three years,
and take pleasure in bearing witness
to the humane and kind manner in
which he ever discharged them, to his in.
tegrity as a man and fidelity as an officer.
Thousands 6f Confederate prisoners OF
war, impellNd by gratitude for his kind
ness and humanity to them, will join me
in this testimonial.
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

"SEYIoR EDITOR.


The reader will not be surprised at this
apology, when it is remembered that only
a few weeks ago this self same Governor
Brownlow advised his subjects to arm
themselves, and exterminate their politi-
cal opponents in the event pretext
should offer, growing out of the murder
of Col. Ashby. The loyal Radicals of
East Tennessee are small violators of the
law, and should not, according to Gov
ernor Brownlew, be punished. He would
let them violate law with impnnity, simply
because they are Radicals. We ask the
public attention to the fact that the only
portion of Tennessee in which troops are
absolutely required to enforce obedience
to the laws, is that in which Governor
Brownlow is supposed to have some in
huence. This is a stingipg commentary
upon the respect he inspires for law and
order. .-Ndshuille Banner.

Buffers New Orleans Career;

From the New orleans Times, August -.
The New York Sun, in its issue of the
18th inst, asks for evidence of General
Buffers propensity to appropriate the
spoons of others. The instances are in
Vulnerable, and are easily susceptible of
proof. AS specific one is required, we
will select that of DIR. Campbell. During
the occupation of the city Butler seized
his house, and upon its restoration the
silver was retained and carried North by
Butler, some of it having since been
seen in his own residence. 1t consisted
of nine dozen pieces, all marked. A suit
for its recovery is either about to be or has
already been brought against the spoon
fancier. 1t is notorious that one of the
first acts of Butler was to institute search
for silver plate, all Of which he professed
to con6scate in the name of the United
States. So actively did he prosecute the
search that many of the resident fami-
lies endeavored to transport their plate
to Europe Mr. Hamilton Wright and
Mr.. Gillis, two Of our most respectable
merchants, were arrested and sent to
Ship Island on this charge. 10 one case
Butler succeeded in capturing the silver,
in the other it eluded his vigilance. If
the New York Sun is sufficiently honest
in its desire to investigate this subject,
we shall return to the subject again, with
numerous other well credited and tracea-
Bile charges, selected from the host Of in
stances Of the spoon spoliation, either
committed by Butler himself, or in his
name, by the creatures under him.
