The report we published Yesterday morn
my from Robert Ould, formerly confederate
commissioner for the exchange Of prisoners,
reveals the facts which Stanton and others
have been so eager To- conceal respecting
the terrible waste ot.iitc among the Union
prIsouels. Twice he made deliberate pro.
pOsaIs to our officers to exchange man for
man. Then he proposed 10 give up the
SICK as fast as the Federal commanders
would come and take them away. Then he
offered to have medicines and comforts
which the coniederacy was destitute OF, for
warded to the Union prisoners, and even
dispense by surgeons from the Union army.
10 all these proposals he declares that no
response was made, until, after long suffer.
ing, IL certain number Of the sick were re.
moved. Whatever the cruelty alleged to
have been practiced by Wirz and his subor'
diuates, it is no excuse for certain men Oh
the Union side that it was continued when,
by their own action, it might have been
brought to an end. The terms Of the origi.
nal cartel Of exchange, dated July, I'D,
lSGG, were disregarded as soon as the OK
cess OF prisoners run in cur favor and then
began that narrow and Jealous conduct OF
the WAT department which dehed the com
monest rules of humanity in order TO keep
alive the hatred Of the north toward the
south. 1t was done to prolong the war in
til certain partisan purposes could be &C.
complshcd. And brave Union soldiers sue
cumbed by the thousand to the most terrible
forms Of suffering, that Stanton might carry
out the policy Of those masters who for three
years OF peace have been doing all in their
power to seize the government and convert i
into an engine o. tuualiclSm.--Ni. Lo",S Re-

In the Chicago TriJunc, among It's latest

(which it says viii not vary the vote one hun

Radical majority ,............2 ijl
From this it will be seen that the total
vote is 81, 800.
