Ste . Revue Diy Bes FRIDAY, NOVR 3, 4866, — — 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.”’ * BALTIMORE has expended $3,000,000 on Druid Hill Park. Property in the vicinity ‘of the Park has increased in value 100 per cent. in nine years, « Tue Dalles Mountaineer says a woman at Umatilla gave her husband a letter of divorce the other day in consideration of ‘a little rat colored mule.” ~Mr. -Harwarp, of Livermore Valley, lost on Friday mght 590 head of sheep — They were driven off during the night, and nothing has since been heard of them.
