Prisoners during the Late War

The last number of the Southern Review
contains an article on Federal Policy and
Northern Prisoners, which opens with a vim
dication OF the late Confederate authorities from
the atrocities that have been charged against
them in regard to their treatment of Federal
prisoners at Audersonville and elsewhere 1t
then goes on to cite number OF cases in proof
of the fact that in every large prison at the
North "cruelty was Systematically practiSed for
the purpose Of forcing prisoners to take the
oath OF allegiance to the Federal Government:
or, in case of their refusal, of enfeebEng their
health to such an extent as to render them un
fit for military service on their return to the
South" The diaries of some of these prison
ers, and the personal narratives of many others
are given in evidence of the truth of the allega-
ton. All of these details are wholly new to
the public, and the record thus made up stamps
with infamy the officials under whose orders so
much NaDton suffering was inflicted.
The writer next proceeds TO contrast the
abundant supplies at the North with the terri
bic straits in food, in clothing, and in medss =
cines to which the South was reduced. He
adds:
Notwithstanding all these difficulties, not
withstanding the outrages committed by North
ern troops, and the cruelties committed by
Northern iailors, it is fact we'll known to the
intimate friends of Mr.. Davis, that he presis-
tently turned deaf ear to the entreaties of ex-
treme men, and that he steadfastly refused to
inaugurate in the Confederacy system OF per-
Secution which was utterly repugnaut to every
sentiment OF his nature, aud to the feelings OF
every brave and high toned leader in the
South. The fact is, that 1t was the intention
and desire of the Confederate government to
provide for its prisoners of war as 1t did tor Its
own men, When however, there was scar
city of TODD the preference was naturally glVon
to Southern soldiers in the field. Speaking OF
the difficulty of providing even tor these, Major
General Heth said 'Ifthe soldiers last winter
under my command had been in prison: and
had been restricted to the rations allowed them,
they would have been found uis rably lnsutlclet
Some days they had no meat; at other times
they had no meal. | myself have repeated y
gone to my horses feed trough and robbed
him of corn, which l parched to appease my
hunger. Had my men been IN confinement
their sufferings would have been intense. But
they We're in the open air: they were tree;
thy were active; they were constantly sk'rm-
ishing; they had opportunities OF amusing
themselves, and they had other things to
thiuk about besides their own personal dis
comforts. Had it been otherwise the troops
of my division would have been decimated by
disease
The entire article is painfully interesting and
as marelial for history this narrative ofperson-
al suffrrings and personal indlenitles endured
BY Southern men in Northern prisons brlet
as 1t Is, will be of DO little value at some future
DAY In any history of the civil war which is MT
witt by Northern historians. s.-BaHmort
