coM M/PREATMENT. OF PRISONERS.—The
Marysville Fxpress appears to delight in
baseless assertions, in regard to the history
of the civil war just closed. Any falsetheod, however ae are whieh will
tend to hide the villainy of Jeff. Davis and
his associates, is given to the readers of the
Express with an assurance which is refresh“ing. That paper has an editurial upon the
maltreatment of prisoners, in which it is assumed that the statements made by. the trai‘tor Benjamin are-all true, and that the dam-Bable cruelties suffered by our prisoners
while i in rebél hands, were caused by the
#efusal of the Administration’ to exchange.
Benjamin and his admirers of the Express
-. gchool have yielded one point im admiting
that Union prisoners were cruelly treated
in the South. Until the conclusion ofthe
war they denounced all the reports in re“gard to cfuelties practiced, : as abolition lies,
but when our soldiers: who went to rebel
pens strong men, returned to their homes
insane and ruined from the effects of cruel‘ties inflicted upon them by the fiends: of
rebeldom, the truth could no longer be
hid, and copperheads, admitting the fact,
“now attempt to shield their rebel friends
»
)
by assigning the refusal to. exchange as the
eause. This statement is refuted by the
events that occurred prior to exchange, and
it is well known that the Government was
not enabled to bring the rebels to an understanding upon this question, until the whole
» matter ‘was! placed in the hands ‘of Ben.
Butler. But leaving the matter in régard
to exchange out ef the question, or admitting that the rebels were willing to exchange, it does not better¢heir cause.—
They not only starved Union soldiers when
their store houses were filled with food, but
they robbed them of everything valuable.—
They hunted them with bloodbounds and
murdered thei by scores. The Express
has forgotten, that testimony in regard to
this matter shows that prisoners were starved at Libby, .while within sight of their
~ prison’ Were” boxes containing food and
clothing, sent to them from the North. If
the rebelehad not food to give Union prisonérs they might have supplied them with’
water. The evidence of the murders of
Wirtz and his cruelties, and the fact. that he
was a subordinate and under‘ the control of
Jeff. Davis, shows when the responsibility
lies. These things were not done in a remote part of the South, but at the rebel
capital, and the leaders of the rebellion
could not possibly have been ignorant of
them. . It was not confined to any section
of the South, but the systematic murder and
‘starvation of prisoners was practiced with
even more eruelty, if possible, at Anderson‘ville, where the country around yielded
abundant hai vests, while at Richmond sub_ ‘sistence was not so plenty.® The statements
made by Benjamin are not substantiated by
the least, evidence, and rest oily upon the
unsupported word. of -a perjured traitor.
They will not weigh a feather against-the .
incoutrovertuble evidence adduced in the
trial of the Andersonville jailor. The very
fact that in all the rebel prisons the cruelties inflicted were of the same character—
that robbery; murder, by starvation and
otherwise, was carried out everywhere with
the same zeal, is sufficient evidence that the
hellish purpose originated with the supreme
power in the Confederate government, and
that the design was to render every. man
who fell iuto rebel hands incapable of ever
bearing arms again. The only reason that
our disarmed soldiers were not put to the
sword, as-at Fort Pillow, was the fear
of retaliation.
But the Express takes, eccasion es say
that Benjamin “shows the character of Jeff.
Davis in that manly and honorable celering
which rightfully belongs to him, and which
nothing bat bitter personal malice, ignorance
or petty jealousy would attempt to tarnish.”
Benjamin attempts by falsehood te hide the
infamy of Davia, but he only succeeds in
. showing it mere glaringly. “He makes a
foolish and desperate attempt te shift the
responsibilty for the sufferings of Union
prisoners from Davis tothe Administration,
and his desperation shows he: feels that
the neck of Davis and probably his own
depends upon his success. The sentiment
in the above extract is eminently worthy of
the Express, An infamous traitor may be
looked upon as “manly and honorable” by
copperheads, but it will be hard to convince
Unien men that any such wren Sew be
applied to Davis.
Ex Orrosrtiox STEAMER.—The Cenal Amefican TransitC ompaay’s fingsteamer Americat which leaves San Francisco on
Monday next for) San Juan del Sar, will
.[ connect at Greytown with the Company’s
magnificent new steamer Santiago, one’ of:
the strongest and fastest steamers on the
Atlantic. This new boat is 307 feet tong,
2,500 tons burthen, hasmost improved low.
pressure engines, and is fitted up with every
regard tothe comfort and convenience .of
passengers. ‘She is commanded by Capt.
E. J. Smith, one of the most skilful and
popular officers of the day. On her trial
trip she made fifteen measnred miles an
hour. Thé Company appear determined
to win success by deserving the confidence
and support of the public.
FLIGHT OF BUTTERFLIES.—An exchange
says: Professor Lowe: has on exhibition a’
balloon near the Central Park, in New York,
in which visiters ascend to the hight of a
thousand feet. A butterfly’ voluntarily ac-’
companies it five hundred feet, and then returns-and waits for it te go up again. An
oceasional eagle hovers around it, but no
additional charges are made for these attractions.
SurT For DamaGes.—Vestvali has sued
Maguire for thirty thousand dollars damages, for breach of contract. She alleges
that she was engaged io New York fo perform in this State for a hundred nights, for
which she was.to_reeeive one-half of the
proceeds after dedycting $250 per night for
expenses; that she was ready and willing
to perforin, but that Maguire had not given
her. an opportunity. She demanded that he
should discharge Messrs. Bandmanu and
soniface and Miss Emily Thorne, and
permit her to play, and “pee his refusal she
brings suit. :
EMANCIPATION.—Hon. Joseph Segar, of
Virginia, in a reeent speech in Richmond,
declared that the Southerners ‘‘were inexpressibly gainers by emancipation,” He
further said : :
“T[ speak from experience and observation’ In my own county, where emancipation has been in practical operation from the
commencement of the war, and on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, where the policy has
been fairly tested, it is an ascertained fact
. that the farmers make more clear_money
with hired colored labor than they did when
they cultivated their farins with their own
slaves. The profitis generally doubled; in
some cases trebled.”’
