not wish to run cars over the bridge il
1t is not strong enough, Eut backed by
the experts opinion, they will ask the

The city is beautifully laid out with
broad streets denscly shaded, intersperscd

Of Count Pulaski, a noble Pole who fell

The defenses of the city were all on the

most formidable character, they never
dreaming of the great tanker of the West

that something should be done by the
Government to mitigate the condition Of
our Union men in Southern prisons. 1t is
sickenng to near the tale Of an escaped
prisoner. The Spanish inquisition, with
all its enormity, is barely parallel to it.
| have been told by escaped prisoners that
they are starved to compel them to join
the rebel army. Recruiting officers visit
the prisons three times daily, soliciting re-
cruits. Some join the rebel army and de-
sert on the first opportunity. Some of this
class came into our lines before SaYan-
nah. Many place their hands over their
eyes and step over the dead line, prefer
ring death to suffering the excruciating
miscrics of prison life or enlisting in their
army. | believe just retribJtiOn will fall
sponsble for this guilty neglect. Human
ity demands that more attention should be
paid to rae exchange of prisoners. If the
rebel authorities do not regard negro
troops in battle as prisoners OF war, 1
see no reason why so many of our noble
white soldiers should suffer for the few
Of the other color that may fall into their
hands. \ wiser expedient should have
been adopted than the suspension of cx-
changes. 1t is hoped that existing evil
will soon be remedicd.
AT present our army is stationed in and
around Savannah, but how long we are to
remain we do not know. All are anxious
for the march again. The boys cast a
wishful eye over the river on that pestif
erous cesspool of secession, that mother Of
traitors, South Carolina. 1t is hoped by
all the mcu of our army that the remain
der of our campaigning may be confined
to that State. Won't the boys make
things howl there, though? Natives will
have to take in their chimneys if they ex-
