country.-S. H. Harper, Department
Commander of Iowa, Ottumwa, Iowa.
The violation of the paroles of the
prisoners captured at Vicksburg was a
piece of grossly bad faith on the part
or the Confederate authorities, and led
10 all the trouble in regard to nom
exchange in the future. 1t appears to
nave been deliberate and without any
real pretext. Pemberton tried to make
Il pretext because Grant had not &C
ceded to his request and guarded the
prisoners beyond his lines. This was
the farthest from Grants thoughts in
any way, because he had calculated
that great part of Pemberton's men,
being from Missouri, Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Kentucky, which were now
in our hands, would return home If
they were allowed to. and stay there
unmolested by the rebel conscripters.
Davis hardly pretended to recognize
the stipulations at vicksburg, for as
early as July 10. within a week of the
surrender, he telegraphed to Pember-
ton that all the general officers were
exchanged and should return to duty
at cnce. He also wanted to know how
many of the captured troops were fit
for duty, and was informed that about
two-thirds of them could be used.
Sept. IL the Confederate Agent of Elk
change notified the United States Agent
that these men would be declared ex-
changed, and this was done. Col.
Gould. the Confederate Agent, did not
attempt to give any figures as to the
Union soldiers taken prisoners. and
which he would offset. but simply said:
Il have in my possession more valid
paroles of your officers and men than
would be an equivalent for the officers
and men herein enumerated"
AT that time Jefferson Davis was in
the sorest straits for men, and was
planning great operation against
Rosecrans to offset the disasters of
Gettysburg and Vicksburg He laid his
hands on every man that he could pos
sibly get, and all of the Vicksburg pris-
oners that could be gotten hold of
were put into Bragg's army to over
whelm Rosecrans. Our Agent of Ex-
change protested strongly against this
violation of the paroles, and was an
swered by the Confederates that the
paroles of all the men captured at
Vicksburg and Port Hudson were from
the first invalid. They gave nothing
but pretexts. however, for this decision
and Gen. Grant thereupon issued an
order in April, 1864, that no further
exchanges of any character be made
unless the paroles at Vicksburg and
Port Hudson be fully recognized.-Ed-

SPANISH FORT AGAIN.

Tells the Story of the Capture Of the
Fort From the Pages Of His Diary.
Editor National Tribune: Under date
Of Nov % of the old reliable National
Tribune I note what Comrade Sam
Kutz, Co. d, 91st ILL.,, Los Angeles, Cal,
has to say regarding the capture of
Spanish Fort.
First let me say that that article
would not have been written had not
a comrade (have forgotten his name)
belonging to the Thirteenth Corps bold
ly stated in your paper that the Six
teenth Corps was not there at ALL" /
could not stand for that which could be
SO easily disproven.
Comrade Kutz refers to the fact that
40 years have elapsed since those siren
uOus times, and no doubt he thinks /
may have forgotten, and thus misstated,
honestly, the facts. Yes, I know 40
years is long time to recollect ordi-
nary occurrences, but this incident is SO
plain to me, and ever has been, that
am sure am right. But though may
appear as one without anything but my
own unsupported word, / will say that
kept a diary, from which will quote,
and / could surely have had no object
at that time in jotting down an untruth,
or have been mistaken, either. Further,
call upon any and every one Of the
Sixteenth Corps to substantiate or deny
my truthfulness, providing the witness
was present at the siege OF Spanish
Fort. No other witnesses will be called,
and on their evidence will I rest my
case.
