THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 18G8. ON THE RAMPAGE A Quaint JJomocratio Electioneering Document. More Aid Tor Scjmorr and Blair from their Southern Friends. Ould, the El-Commissioner, Tentilatcs the Exchange Business. We take the following voluminous dooa- xnent from the journal to the editor of which it is addressed: Richmond, Va., Auir. 17, 1RCS. To tbe Editors of ttie Jla tonal Jnteniytncer Ou leucn: I have recently sren so maij uiiiropreoPiHatiout of the action of the late Cunle icrato a Jlbontiev in relation to prisoner that I I pel it due to tbe truth of history, an (J peculi-trly incutuouut ou &e as their Hgent ot pxeuau to bring to the attention of the country the facta set forth in this paper: I. r The cartel of exchange bears da'e July 22, 1802. Its t'biel purpose wis to sccire itie de livery of all prisoners of war. To that cud, tots lounn Mrticlo provMed that all prisoners of war should bi discuaixe I ou paiole in ten das alter lb ir capture, l'rom the date of the cartel uu'il ihe suiuuipr of 18UJ the Confederate autuorHies bal tne excess 01 pr.80ner.-. DuriDg tliut itit"rvul deliveries were made as fat at lie Feileiul Go. eminent lur nished transportation. iDdw-d. upon more than one (ccasu n, I urped tlie Feieral authorities to tend increased means of traLspurtu'iou. Huts never even been allceud ihat tbe Confederate authorities tailed or neglected t.i uiate priruu'. deliveries of pilsoners bo wire not uell under charge, when Ibey bad the excess. On tbe olber hand, dunnir tbo !a:ne time fie cartel a-t openly and notoriously violated by the federal authorities. Ollicers and men were kept in cou finemeut, Fomctitnes in irons, or uoooir-d to cells, without charge or trim. Many olli-ers were kept In contftietneLi even a ter tae n it ices published by the Feoeral au.horitlea had de clared them exchanged. In the summer ot 1803 the Fe.ierl authori ties inbiated upon limiiin pxcamies to saju as were held in confinement, cn either side. This I resisted, as being in violation of tbe cartel. Bucti construction not only kept iu condne ment the excess ou either side, but ignored all tbe paroles which were bel.i by ibe Couiedera e Government. These were very manv, beiui; the paroles of officers and meu bo bad beou re leased on capture. Tbe Federal Govcinui'-nt at that time hrld tew or no paroles. Tbey bud all, or nearly all, been BU'reLoered, theCoufedera.e suthoritios giving prUneis a equiva cuts tor thorn. Tuus it will b; seen, that, as l..ui as tbe Coutedcrale Government bid the excess ot' pri soners, matters went on sinornly enough; but as soon aa tbe posture ot adairs i:i ibtt repeH was changed, tbe cirtel coul i no loi eer be ob served. o, as long the Federal i.overnneut had the paroles ot Confederate ollicers and men, they were respected, and male iho basis of an exchange: but when equivalents were ob tained lor them, aud no morn wne Inhand, tbe paroles wblch were held by the CoLtedcrato authorities could not be recognized, inconse quence ot the positi. n thus assumed by tbe Federal Government, tbe requirement of the cartel that all prisoners t-bould be delivered Within ten days wai pricticnlly nullitied. The deliveries which were after varus made were the results of snecial agreements. The Confederate authorises adhered to their pesition until the lCth ot August, 18G4, when, moved by the suH'-iir.us ot ihe men in tbe prisons ot each belligerent, they d'termiued to abate their just1 demand. Accordingly, ou the last-tamed day, 1 addressel me 'olio ine coai munication to Brigadier Gi-neial John tfi. Mul ford (then Major), Assistant Agent of Ex change: Kichmoud, August 10, 18G4. Major John E. Multord, Assibtant Agent ot Exchange. sir: You have eeviral nines propo.-ed to no to exchange the prisoners respectively held by the two bellineierjts oflicer loroiiicer, aud mau lor man. Tbe same oiler has aljo been maJe by other officials having cntiree of matters cou tiectcd with tbe exchange ot prisoners. This proposal has h'reiolore been declined by tbe Confederate author it er, tbey insisting upon the terms of the cartel, which required mi de livery of tbe excesi on either sine on parole. In view, however, ot the very large n amber of prisoners now held by each pnrty, und the suf tering consequent upon their continued confine ment, 1 now consent to the above proposal, and agree to deliver to jou tbe pr.soners held In captivity by the Confederate authorities, provided you agree to de liver an equal number ot Confederate Officers and men. As equal numbers are de livered from time to time, tbey will ba declared exchanged. This proposal is made with the understanding that the officers and men on bo tt sides who have been longest in captivity will be flret delivered where it is practicable. J shall be happy to bear Irom you as speedily as possible, whether this arrangemeut cau be carried out. Respectfully, your obedient servant, lto. Ould, Agent of Exchange. The delivery ol this letter was acompauied tin a statement ot the mortality which was harrying so many Federal prisoners at Ander nville to tbe grave. On the 22d day of Aueust, 1864, not having Kara aujtuing in response, i aiaressed a cum luuication to Major General E. A. HitcbcocK, tailed States Commissioner ot Kxchauge. cjver- Ig a copy of tbe foregoing let'er to General Villord, and requsting an acceptance ot my PoDositiou. So answer was ever received to either of these lexers. General Multord, ou the 31-t ot August, 164, informed me in writing that he hat no communication on tbe subtree Irom the United fcttes authorities, and Inat he was not at that tile authorized to make au answer. his orJer. which would ha?e instantly re steed to freedom thousands of surf'Tlnu captives. wtch would have released every Ft deral soldier Inononement in Comedera'e prisons was not evi noticed. Was teat because tue Federal ofhialsdid not deem it worthy ol a reply; or beiuse tbey feared to make one? As the Feeral authorities at that time had a laree exss of prisoners, tbo etlect of the proposal wbn I had made, If carried out, would have bc to release all Union prisoners, while lar? number cf the Conlederates wouli have reamed lu prison, a wan tug the chunces ot tneapture ot their equiva.ents. ii.

The jury-box la tie case of Wira would h tve bad dirt, rent witnesses, with a different story. It will be borne tn mind that nearly all of toe suflcrinir endured hr Federal prisoners happened after January, 18C4. Tbo acceptance of the prop fitiTi madj bv m, oi behalf ot the Con fedeia'e Government, would not only have fur-nii-h-d (o t ie i-k nedi ;lnis and physicians, but to fbe well an abundance oi iood and cloth inc from th- ample sterns of tbe United States. The pood iHithof i he Confederate Government In makine this o(Ter cannot be successfully questioned, for food and elothlt g (without the MirqeonO were pent in 1805 nd were ailowol to be distributed by Federal oflloers to Federal pris''iieiF. Why could not the more humane proposal of January, 1804, have been accepted? in. When it was ascertainei that exchanges conld not be nnioe ei'lier on the basis of tbe cartel, or officer fur officer and man for man, I was instructed by the Confederate authorities to cifir to the Unred hia'es Government their sick and wounded, without requiring any equivalents. Acordlnelr, in tbo summer of 1S-C4. 1 did offer io deliver from ten to uneeu tbous md ot the sick and wo'in led at tbe mouth of the Stvnnnah river, without requimg any f quivulents, a-suring at tie fame time the aent ol toe Unite. 1 States, General Multord, itiat if the number for which he might send transrorts could not readily be made up from bice and woi nded, I would supply tli diderence witti well men. Al'bouerh this offr wis made in the summer of 1804, transportation was not sent to the Savauoah river until -about the n.iddle or !a-t of November, and '-'hon I otltvered as many prUouers as coul.ibe lran'rorieo som tuirieen iooti''anu in iiiinioei au'onpsi wnom were more man nvo tuousuua wdl nien. More than once I urged the mortality at Aiideronville as a reison tor hade ou the part ot ihe United S'a'es autbonties. I know, per eonallv, that it was the purno-e of the Confede rate Government to send off from all its prisons a'l tbe tick and wounded, anl to continue to do the same, from time io time, without requiring any equivalents for tbem. It was because the sick and wounded at points distaut Irom Georgia could not be brought to Sivannah within a reasonable time that the nvo thousand well men were frubstttuteri. Althonph tbe terms of my offer did not re quire tbe Federal authorities to deliver any tor the ten or Hfecn thousand which I promised, Tot some tbice ta jusand Mck and wounded were delivered by tbem at tbemoutbot t'.-e savannah r ver. I call upon every Federal and Confederate fflicer and man who saw the cargo of livini deatb, and wbo is familiar wlih the character of the deliveries nude b? the Confederate authori ties, to bear wi'ne.-s that. non such was ever made by the latter, even wheu ihe very sxk snd desperately wounded were nlone requested. For, ou two occasions at lpa-t, such were spe cially asked for, and particular request was made for those who were o desperately sick that it would be doubtful whe'her they would survive a removal a few miles down James river. Accordingly, the bopitls were searched tor the worst cases, and a'ler they were delivered they wi-re taken lo Annnroiis, and there photo taplied a fpecimpn prisoners. Tbe photographs at Annapolis were terrible, indeed; but the fiscrv they portrayed was surpassed at Savannah. The rrie'nal rolls showed Ihat some thirty- five hundred had started from Northern prisons. aud that dtatb had reduc d the number during the trausit to about three thousand. The mor tality amonest thosS who were delivered alive urinrr the following three months was eauallv frl bt ul. But why was there fhis dclav between the U'vmer and Noveaiber in sei.d ns transporta tion for sick and wounded, for whom no equiva lents were assert r were umou prisoners ma io to sutler in order to aid tbe photographs "in firing the oopular heart of the North 1" IV. In the summer of 18Ci, in consequenco of cer tain information communicated to me by the Surjeon-General of the Con'ederate States as to he deficiency of medicines, I otJered to mate purer ases or medicines irom tne united states authorities, to be used exclusively lor the relief of Federal prisoners. I offered to pay gold, cotton, or tobacco for them, and even two or three prices, it required. At tne same lime l gave assurances that the medicines wonta oe need exclusively in tne treatment ot reuerai prisoner, and moreover agreed, on behalt of tbe Confederate States, if it was Insisted on, that such medicines might be brousrbt into the Con federate lines by the UniteJ States surgeons, and disnensed by them. To this offer I never received any reply, lncieaipie at this appears, it is strictly true. v. General John E. Mullord is personally cozni- zant of the tiuth ot most, if not all the facts which I have narrated. He was cmnected with tbe cartel from its date until the close of the war. During a pomon of the time he was Assistant Aeent ot Exchange on the part or the United Hate?. at ways touni him to be an honorable and truthful gentleman. While he ditctarged bis duties wltn great fidelity to nis own Government, he was kisd, aud 1 might almost 6ay, tender to Confederate prisoners. wun inat portion or ine correspouuence witu which bis name is connected, be is familiar. He is equally so with the delivery made a'. Savannah, and its attending circumstances, and with tbe oiler I made as to the purchase ol med- icims for tbe Federal sick and wounded. 1 appeal to him for tbe truth of wbat I bave written, i nere are other t euerai corroooraiious to portions ot my i atements. They are found in tbe report ot Major General li. F. Butler to the committee ou tne uonuuet oi tne war." Ahout the last ot March, 1804, I bad several conferences with General Butler at Fortress Monroe in iela'ion to tbe difficulties attending the exchange of prisoners, and we reached wnat we Doth tUouKbt a toieraDiy satifiactory dusi. Tbe dav tbat I leit there General Grant arrived. General Butler says he communicated to him the state of the negotiations, aud ''most emphatic verbal directions were received from tbe LieuteLant-Uenerai not to take any step Dy wbicb another able bodied man should be ex changed until further ordeis irom him;" and ibat on April 30, 1804, he received a telegram Irom Gtneral Grant, "to receive the sick aud wounded the Conlederate authorities may send you, but send no more in exchange." Unless my recollection lails me, Gcueral Butler also, m an address to his constituent", substantially declared that be was directed in bis manage ment of tbe question of exchance with the Con lederate autuoritles, to put the matter otlen tively, for the puipose cf preventing an ex chauee. The tacts which I have stated are also well known to tbe officers connected with the Con lederate Bureau of Exchange. At one time I thought au excellent ooportu nity was afforded of brinnlug some of tbem to tbe attintion of th country. I was named by poor Wirz as a witness in his behalf. Tbe summons was Issued by Oblpman, the Judge Advocate of the Military Court. I obeyed tbe summons, and was lu attendance upon the Court for some ten days. Tbe investigation ha l taken a wido range as to the couduct of the Cotiledorate and Federal Governments in the matter of the treatraeut of prisouers, and I thought the time bad come' when I could put belore tbe world these humane offers of the Conlederate authorities, aud the manner in wbicu they ha I beeu treated. 1 so expressed myself moie than once perhaps too publicly, but it was a van thought. Early in tbe morning of the day on which I expected to mve my testimony. I received a nolo from Cblproan, the Jurtue Advocate, requiring me lo surrender my subpuma. I refused, as it was my prelection ai waMnugion. Without li the doVirs ot tbe Old Capitol mteht have opened and closed upon me. I eiieasel, however, to appear belore me court, tuiu did so tbe same n oruiiig. J still re'. ised to surrender my sub- pu na, mid tuereupoii tiuuie vocai in tloised uocu it tln'-e words: "The wt Inn suu nuuu is hereby icfAcd; the pur.uu named U discharged from further attendance." I have fol tbe curious document before tee now, signed with the name of "N. P. Chlpman, Colonel.'1 eto, I Intend to keep it, If I csn, as the evidence of tbe first case in any court, of any sort, where a witness wbo was summoned for tbi defense was dismissed by the prosecution. I hastened to de part, confident tbat Richmond was a safer place for me than the metropolis. 8oni time aeo a committee was appointed by tbe House of Representatives to investigate the tnatmeat of Union pr soner In Bouthrn prison. Alter the appointment of the commit tee ihe lion. Mr. Shanks, of Indiana, being its chairman I wrote to tbe Hon. Claries A. tl drlilpe and the Hoa. Mr. Mungcn (the latter a member of the committee) some of the fact herein detailed. Both of these gentlemen made an effort to extend tbe authority of the commit tee, so tbat it miizht inoii're Into the treatment of nrlfonfrs North as well as Potitb. snd epp c'all.v that it m'eht inquire into the truth of the matters which I bad alleged. All thete attempts were frustrated by ibe rad'eal majoritv, althoneh several of the party voted fo extend ibe inquiry. As several thousand dollars of the money of the people have bpen spent by this committee, will not they deman l that the inves tigation shall be thoroueh and Impartial? The House of Kepresentatives have declined the in quiry; let tbe people take it up. Kespcctiully, vour obedient servant, Ro. Ould. Ii USINES8 NOT I CES.

SMITH, RANDOLPH & CO., No. 16 South THIRD Street. 710 PHILADELPHIA. 750 MILES OF TDH UflOM PACIFIC RAILROAD Are now flnlabed and In operation Altbongh this road Is bolit with great rapldliy, the work it thor oughly done, and Is pronounced by tbe United Htatea Cooimiaaloners to be first-class In every renptrt, be fore It la accepttd, and before any bonds can ba Issued npon It. Rapidity and excellence of conatructlon have been ae. ured by a complete division or Ubor and bv dls iribMtlng tbe twrnty thousand n en employed along tbe line lor long distances at once. It Is now probable tbat the WHOLE LINE TO THE PACIFIC WILL BE COMPLETED IN 18C9. Tbe Cemp.tny bave ample means of which the Gov eminent grants tbe right of way, and all necessary limner and other materials found along the line of lis operatloua; alao 12,b0o acrea of land to tbe ml'e, taken. In iternate sections on each side of lis roaa; alaa Unlit d Slates Tblrtv-vear Ronda, amounting to Irons t6.K0 to ttn.ouo per mile, acc Kdlng to tbe difficulties io be surmounted on the various sections to be built, for wblch it takes a second mortgage as at-curliy, and It is ezptcted tbatnot only the Interest, but tbe prin cipal an. ount may be paid In services rendered by tbe Core pan v In transporting troops, malls, etc. THE EARNINGS OF TBE UNIOV PACfFIO RAILROAD, from lis Way or Local Business only, during the year ending June 30, 1668, amounted to over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, Which alter paying all expenses was much mora than sutllcleut to pay tbe interest upon Its Bonds. Thete earnings are no indication of the vast throngh traffic tbat muBt follow ihe opening of the line to lbs Pacific, but they certainly prove that FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS Upon such a propeity, costing nearly three times thtir amount, ARE ENTIRELY SECURE. The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for (1000 each, and bave coupons attached. Tbey bear annual Interest, payable on the first days of January and July, at the Company's office In tbe City of New York, at tbe rate of six per cent, la gold. The princi pal Is payaDle lu gold at maturity. Tbe price is lot and at tbe present rate ot gold, they pay a liberal Ineome on tbelr coat. A very Important cons'deration In determining tba value of thetse bonds la the length of lime they have ( run. It is well known tbat a long bond always commands a iSucb higher price than a short one. It Is safe ta assume tbat during the next thirty years, lit rata Of Interest in tbe United Stales will decline as it hasi done In Europe, and we bave a right to expect thak such six per cent, securities as these will be held at aa high a premium as these of this Government, wblch. In 1857 were bought la at from 20 to 2 J per cent, abova par. The export demand alone may prodnce this re sult, and aa the Issue ol a private corporation, thsy are beyond tbe reacn ot political action. The Company believe that tbelr Bonds, at the pre sent rate, are the cheapest security In tbe market, and tbe right to advance tbe price at any time is reserved.
