How Rebel Prisoners we're Treated There

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: notice In n

claimed that the rebel prisoners held during
the war At JOhns0ns Island, o., received hargh
treatment, and ] wish TO brand this as a base
falsehOOds for those confined within the pen

received substantially the same grub" that
was given US, and beyond the fact that they
were confined within the prison grOundg, /
could perceive no difference between prigouers
and guards, except that they lthe prigouergl
had no duty 10 perform. As you perhaps know
the prisoners 1t this depot were all officers and
for the most part intelligent men. MANY of
them had money. which was taken from them
aud placed 20 their credit In the bank, aud do
not believe that you can find one man Of the
number that viii Say that he was dishonesty
dealt with. They were allowed 10 draw of this
money and buy in Sandusky anything their
fancy might dictate, except only intoxicantg.
and when they were removed from the island
the balance was paid them 10 a cent
II was no uncommon thing TO step into their
quarters and find them enjoying an oyster or
Ish dinner somewhere in the pen. Their mail
came 10 them regularly, and IL was rarely if
ever withheld, and If at all, il was when il con-
tanned such stuff as came under the head of
contraband, and IL had to he very abusive if IL
was not given them.
They were allowed 10 battle regularly and
all that was required Of them that could be
construed into hardship was that they were
compelled 10 keep their quarters clean, aud
they not only had all the water handy to do
this, but the sanitary wagon made regular trips
with which 10 haul out their rubbish.
At any time they asked permission 10 keen
HghA alter hours 10 enable them TO carry out
prOgram-i0r they had regularly-organized
theatrical companies-it was granted, and their
sick were given every possible attention by our
medical men. If a prisoner CHANGED to die he
was buried deccntIy by his friends, and aDy
reasonable number Of prisoners were allowed
20 escort him 10 his grave.

cavalry, over which Crawford's Division forced
its way TO the front.
In regard 10 the removal Of our brave and
much-loyed Gen. Warren from the command
OF the FIith Corps, permit me 10 give You
the substance oil IL communication that was
made TO me at the time by comrade, who
claimed to have heard il.
Alter marching at very rapid pace until we
were completely exhausted, VIC had halted by
order Of Ten. Warren TO take ID brief rest. Gen.
Sheridan rode up 10 Warren, aud demanded in
an insolent and overbearing manner (which he
was apt TO use when eXcited), "What in -
the men were hating for?" Gen. Warren very
cOurteously Informed him that the men were
completely worn out, aud that If they had a
brief rest they would be able 70 move forward
so much better, that In reality no time w0uId
be lost, and they would fight tho better for a.
Gen. Sheridan replied, - - Won | want
you TO understand that am your commanding
officer, and that when / order you 10 move /
want you 10 do IL, - you"
Al this Gen Warren became angry. and re-
piled that he would not march his mon TO death
for him or any other Irish -
This statement may have been little exaV.
Grated In the toliDg, but believe il IA virtually
the facts in the case, and had Gen. Warren
chosen 10 bring the matter before a court.
martial, the blame might have been placed
where II belonged but he preferred TO suffer
rather than make trouble, and perbapg he
feared that even before Il court martial he
might not receive justice, on account of polit
ical animositics, and the feeling in favor Of
Sheridan, that was somewhat due TO his pcculiar
manncr-rough aud bluf-which was very
taking with the masses. Gen. Warren was n
gentleman In every sense Of the term, but the
masses rather looked upon him as arstocratic
and uppish. Not 30 his own corps, who idol.
lied him.

The Fremont Sword.
IhiI'oaukee EreninO Wiseonsin.l

Gen. Fremont was naturally proud of the
numerous trophies which he had acquired dur
ing the course of long and eventful life; but
both lac and his wife felt proudest of the mag
nifcent sword which was given him by the
people of Missouri in recognition of his services
as commandment of that department during the
first year of the rebellion. 1t will be- remem-
bored that as the Commanding General as a
war necessity he issued proclamation enamel
pating the slaves in that State. This act was
deemed ill-advsed and premature by President
Lincoln, and was therefore couuteFmanded
This necessitated the resignation of Gen. Ere
mont ThereupOn the loyal people of Missouri
determined 10 present 10 him a testimonial of
their confidence aud their love- As he was a
soldier in the army of his country, the gift of
"A sword seemed the most appropriate. A superb
sword was ordered, aud upon the scabbard was
etched not John Z. Fremont" but a simple
inscription in the tersest of all languages
ancient or modern, "Viro that is, {" To a
Man"
The sword was deemed the more precious by
Gen. Fremont and his family because no one
was permitted To give more than 10 cents, and
thus 10000 persons united in this thank offer
ing. Mrs. Fremont had Ii placed in an elegant
case in the hall of her house nc Now York, and
no ono could enter the dwelling without OBJ
serving this magnificent sword. Mrs. Fremont
called the writer's special attention to tho in
seription, AS it indicated To her that the 20 OOO
doners believed that her husband was not
merely General in the army, but in the best
sense OF tho word, man.

Random Shots.

T. Bolton, Co. A, eth Mass, Lompoc, Cal,
says that while stationed on picket at the Red
House. near Newberne, n. C.. he was apprised in
some way that in order 70 avoid massacre he
had 10 be on the alert and he told his Captain
that he would 90 out on the scout that night.
He there found out that the rebels were fixing
to take them in, aud that they had been rein
forced. The writer was placed as Sergeant of
Pickets that night, aud sent q messenger to the
Captain of his company to come forward. After
his arrival, the Captain wanted to march upon
the rebels. but the writer told him that he was
going to destruction. AS a ruse TO prevent the
enemy from attacking, they hitched up four
horses to big army wagon, and moved It back
and forth across the plain, which made the
rebels think that they had several batteries in
their 'front.' and they did not advance.

Incident of the BOyhood of Gen. U. s. Grant


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Some 90 years
ago there came TO Brown County, Ohio from
Bavaria, young man named Jacob Gross, He
bought farm In Franklin Township, and
being a shoemaker, worked at his trade In
Winter, buying his leather of Mr. Jesse X
Grant, who then owned tannery in George
town.
At that time a great many foreigners were
coming to this country, bringing almost en-
tirely five franc pieces. Mr. Grant told young
Gross he would credit him with a dollar for
each one lie would bring him In payment for
leather, IL so happened that one day, when
Mf. Gross went to pay for leather he found
Mr.. Grant and Ulysses washing their buggy.
and he gave Mr. Grant ten five. franc pieces.
Calling some time after TO settle up. Mr.. Gross
found that Mr.. Grant had neglected to credit
him with the money and had forgotten all
about the occurrence, and insisted that, had he
received the amount his books would have
shown 1t. Mr.. Gross knew he had paid il, but
what to do he did not know, until he rcmem-
bered that Ulysses was present during the
transaction. where ia UlyssesP said he;
call Ulysses, and see what he says about it,"
The boy was called, and, upon Mr.. Gross re-
peating his story to him, he said, "Why, yes,
father, / remember, Mr.. Gross did give YOU
ten hve-franc pieces Oh that day" That set.
tied the whole matter.
Mr. Gross is now an old man, but he still
loves TO tell this story of the quiet, thoughtful
boy, in whom not only his father, but all
others, had perfect confidence, and always ends
by saying, " If it had not been for Ulysses |
should have had 10 pay that ten dollars over
again." Mns. o. NJ. GORDON, Georgetown,
