A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, recently visited the U. S. Hospi tal, in Baltimore, where the prisoners late ly released front Richmond were taken. Me says: I had indeed entertained doubts that all the tales told of the horrible treat ment to which pur gallant Union soldiers when taken captive, and imprisoned in Libby, Castle Thunder, on Belle Island, and elsewhere in the ‘‘cbivalric South,” might be exaggerations. I was anxious to see and know, and feel, by direct per sonal observation, that there l might be some mistake in their heart-rending rep resentations. I had hoped there could be some miti gating circumstances discovered, of which the world was not yet informed, that would form an excuse,- though a poor one, for our enemies in the South, for thair disre garding, as had Been repeatedly represented, the laws of civilization, of humanity, and of Christianity,; in the treatment of de fenceless prisoners captured by the rebel authorities. And what 1 Saw, I confess it pains me to admit that all these hopes were fallacious. Enough, far more than enough, came with in actual range of observation, to force pie to the irresistible conclusion that these poor creatures hive been neglected, starved and ill-treated ;pn purpose, and with de liberate inattention. Out of aboutthrae hundred whom I saw, there was not a single man or boy whose woe-begone countenance, emaciated frame, depleted limbs, sunken eyes, parched lips, shattered memory, haggard contour and filthy did not show, plain as the light of heaven, wanton, intentional ne glect and starvation. But few of them hod been really sick, except where that sickness had been su perinduced by absolute exposure. Great stalwart men, of massive frames, who, pre vious to capture, were full of vigor, and free from every kind of disease, were re duced to mere skeletons, exhibiting noth ing but skin anti bone. In some instances, from the gnawing of vermin, festering sores had supervened! and their bones wnresnet ually protruding through the skin. Young boys, too, once possessed of ruddy cheeks, and full of Hte, were wasted away to perfect skeletons. When i asked these' patients if they had been sick or wounded, “ No!” was the rev ply, “but we liave been starved; exposed and neglected, until Nature gave away.” This response, tpo, came from feeble, al most inarticulate voices, through fevered Ups, void of blood, and estranged to mois ture. a. a dehs. Bt JOHJI C. HENRV ALTOONA, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1864 There was a languor, a'pallor and dead ness, or want of expression, save that of woe, in their glaring eyes. The very life spring of life itself seemed to have been dried up for'waht of nourishment. Even memory, in nearly every instance, had ei ther forsaken its throne, or ceased to per form the natural functions. There was a tardiness of recollection and vacancy of thought, which verged upon denientatiou. One man, indeed, had fallen into abso lute insanity, and died whilst I was visit ing the hospital. I saw him laid out a corpse, with another weakened, starved and sickened fellow soldier by his side at the same time, who yielded up the spirit only a few moments before. He too, had just come from Belle Island to die. It Was no uncommon tiling to see pen of powerful athletic frames, who, when ta ken prisoners, weighed one hundred and eighty to two hundred pounds, reduced to less than a hundred pounds, nor had they ever been sick One tall corporal, about six feet five inches in height, looked like a walking skeleton, or a ghost upon stilts. I think it would be safe to say, admitting not of an isolated exception, that out of the three hundred recently returned Union prisoners' now in this hospital, they have lost each a third of their former physical and mental status. Looking upon them forces the idea that they were purposely brought to the very verge of starvation and misery, that they might be sent home to die, or be useless forever afterward. Had they been thus reduced by wouiids, sickness or disease in cident to the course of nature, or acts of Providence, the beholder would not feel surprised. But such was not the ease, nor did it appear looking upon them. Three-fourths or more of the whole num ber complained of nothing but cruel treat ment, neglect and starvation. It has been said, and often repeated, which to me was certainly a mitigating circumstance, that, the Confederate authorities gave our men, whom they captured and imprisoned, as good food and accommodations as they were able to give their own people. We arc, howeier, confronted with an overwhelming argument against this asser tion. It is this: It' they feed and clothe, and treat their own soldiers no better than these poor, starved, depled, weakened prisoners, sent home to us, one legiiueut of stalwart Unit u troops, such as ours are, would desticy the entire Southern army. It is ocularly demonstrated that men, cared for only as these poor creatures have been, can scarcely rise trom their beds, or when up, hardly draw one leg after the other. There is not a man among them who could carry a musket and march a mile, and if inclined to do it, their minds and memories are so that they could neither act nor tight intelligibly- Without argument, I leave the reader to draw his own rational inference. Do the rebels treat the prisoners they take from us as humanity, civilization and Christianity require? Will the civilized nations of the earth render their verdict yea or nay"! I had numerous special interviews with many, of the prisoners, all of whom gave evidence of being fairly educated. One' venerable old gentleman from East Tenn essee, fifty-seven years of age, had been in carcerated for. alleged political offence; or in other words, because he was a Union man and loved his country. Not content with depriving him of all his property, and driving his wife and chil dren from a comfortable home, they al most sapped the foundation of his life by cruel incarceration. He appeared to be a truthful, honest farmer, and declared he saw a Union prisoner deliberately shot dead by a heartless guard, while quietly eating his scanty ration 'at the prison window. Another one told me that in General Hospital No. £4, in Richmond, while there were five hundred and eighty prisoners brought in during a single month, live hun dred and fifty-five were taken out dead in the same time. The steward of this hos pital, who belongs to our army, informed me that from the Ist January to the Ist of March, out oi thirty-seven hundred sick fourteen hundred died, the greater portion of whom could have been saved with pro per cave. On “ Belle Island” the suffering was unparalleled. 1 saw many-—a dozen or more—who had their feet, fingers, hands and toes'frozen off, whilst exposed to the severe weather in this desolate abode. To keep from freezing entire they were often compelled to bundle together by dozens, and change positions as those in the Inside got warm, while the outside ones began to freeze. Death, the dead and tlie dying, grew familiar to all, and manyprayed for a hastening of the hour of disolution. It was ho uncommon thing to see twenty, thirty,, forty and fifty dead bodies carried out in a day, or to gee them strewn around like carcasses of dumb animals. Dugs and rats were caught when oppor-' tunity affonled, and eaten by prisoners on this island as choice morsels, and an old bone discovered here was gnawed as a "del icacy. What became of the. many gifts of provisions sent from home, confined here, with extreme exceptions, could not tell, save where they saw them [independent in everything.] at times eagerly devoured by the rebels. I heard manyj very many tales of hor ror, in which there was a universal con currence of sentiment from these prisoners, all ot which, together with their haggard looks and forlorn condition, could not fail in bringing conviction that they have been inhumanly treated. I speak from seeing and knowing what Tassert. Let public sentiment throughout the civ ilized world frowh indignantly on shell lay barity, until the burning blush of shame melts the obdurate heart that thus coldly "countenances such cruelty. There are some of .this same lot of pris oners at the West Hospital and Newton University whose condition is still worse than those already noticed. It is lament able to hear them recite tales of woe and horror, such as eating dogs, rats and other loathsome things, Since tiiey have become rid of vermin, and thoroughly cleansed, received new clothing, obtained rest and suitable nour ishment, breathed pure air, and enabled to realize once more that they are human beings in a civilized country, a most hope ful change appears in them. Not a few begin to threaten retaliation, should an op portunity be afforded. They are particularly struck with the contrast between rebel prisoners returned from Union prisons,—fat. hearty .and in good spirits,—with that ot our brave boys who are sent back from “ Libby,” “ Belle' Island,” and other treasonable pest-houses ragged, lousCy, sick, starved, half dement ed, wholly unmanned and ready to die. “ Mercy on us! What has happened to your father ? Run out quick, Charlie, and open the gatA What is the matter, John ? You are as white as a sheet.” “Kitty Tm drafted!” In place of falling to crying and moan ing, as is the fashion of some of our women, Kitty Bragg laid her hand heavily on her husband's shoulder. . “John I’m ashamed of you ! If you were a child ! I would give you a good shaking. Compose yourself before Charlie comes in—l would not have him think his father was a coward !” “That is a hat'd word, Kitty.” “ I know it, John, but the case de maiitls it. I would not have you lowered in yqur boy's sight. Now, John Bragg let you and me talk sense ; let ns reason the matter together. You are a good man, John—a good husband and a good father. You are a brave man, too, des pite your trembling nerves. Who plunged into the river, just above the rapids, alter poor Crane’s only son 7 Who flung him self before old Mr. Morris’ mad horses, and saved the old; man's life 1 Why just John Bragg. I know what ails you, John. You are physically nervous at the report of firearms or the sight of- blood. You have spent your life poring over books, and never tried to overcome the weakness. But you can overcome it and'you must.” This “ must” was said smilingly. “ I must indeed, for the die is cast, and there is no escape. Ido not think it want of courage and I atn sure my heart glows with love for my country. You know Kitty, I have given freely of nay poor means, but whenever.l think of going to battle this strange tremor assails me, and I am reduced to the weakness of a child. I shall be disgraced, I know,— Don’t you wish you had a brave husband, Kitty? 1 wouldn’t blame you.” But Kitty did not hear. She: sat by : the kitchen' hearth, leaning her brown head on the jamb of the huge old-fash ioned chimney. Her thoughts :at last formed themselves into words — “ I verily believe, John, it is a thing you can’t help—ijt is your misfortune, not your fault. ps sell the place. , Joe. Martin will give five hundred dollars for it, and then you can get a substitute.— We can rent the little red house on the Murry farm, and then—” • “ Never, Kitty! Talk no more; 1 would indeed, be a coward then. What I deprive ray loved: ones of a home fo save myself from hardships ? Never, never ! It is not my life j am afraid of; it is just the din of battle and ■ the dreadful car nage. I will go, my dear wife, and you must help me to be brave and do, my duty.” * | The morning came at last that the drafted men were to join their regiment. There was many; a tear shed by wives, mothers and sisters, but Kitty Bragg shed none —she. had ocher work to dp. She stood talking with John at ihe end of the platform. / ; “ My little Bible is in your knapsack, j John. Read it often. Whenever ;yoti feel that trembling coming over you, John, pray to God, and he will strenglhing you, I know be will.” : ;i * “O! Kitty, How can I ever leqpe with* out you?” This almost : upset the brave little 'woman; but she:stilled the quivering lip, and smiled through her tears. When: the order to fall in was given, John laid his hand on her head, and said, tenderly— “ God bless you, Kitty ; you; are; the beat wife ever a poor man had.” She lifted up£er month for a kiss ; hut KITTY BBAQG’S HUSBAND the- White lips were mute —dor the life of her site could not have spoken. The train moved off, and ,Kitty went home. She shuddered as she crossed the doorstep. The cWflt ticked more lon el/ than she had ever heard it, arid all seemed like desolation. Kitty sat down in her little sewing chair and wept’ like a , child. Charlie came in, his face alt Kglow and his eyes dashing. “ What! mother crying? Why, I think it is a glorious thing to raise one’s ami tor one’s country—a thing to die for,” lie said dreamily. “ Yes, my dear son, it is glorious : but it is sad too. I would not call him back ; but 1 will be yery lonely.” After that one burst of tears, Kitty was: her own calm self again. Time passed on, and save that Kilty prayed oftener, and was more grave than her wont, one could see little change in her. Charlie went off to school in the morn ing, and she was left alone all day. Bro ken ejaculations often escaped her lips— prayers for the safety and “strengthing” of her husband, until at last it became a habit. • On Saturday, as she was baking and churning, as usual, her heart dull of prayer for her husband. “O, £rod ! strengthen poor John, and let him not flinch in the day of battle.— Charlie bring me some more chips: for this fire won’t burn.”- A neighbor, who was standing on the doorstep, smiled at the mingling of prayer and business. “Have you heard the news, Kitty?” The fear that John had deserted br done something cowardly took Jill her strength away, and she sank down faintly on a chair. ' “ What is it Mary?” “ Why they had a riof in camp. Some of the men deserted and some mutinied, and John —bless me, Kitty, your milk is all boiling over.’” “ What about John, Mary 7” “ Why, John was the only one in his company that stood firm all through. He was as brave aS a lion, though some of the half-crazy fellows threatened to shoot him if he did not join them. He influenced our boys to be quiet andjdo their duty. He told them it would only be for a little while ; that after while they would have a better camp and better rations. My Joseph said he shouldn’t wonder if John came home with gold straps on his shoul ders. His being so brave, and having so much influence over his men, pleased the colonel very much. Ain’t yon glad, Kitty?” Kitty was crying for joy—that the lirst news of John should be good. “ Jacob said in his letter that he said to John, after the fuss— “‘John, how could you be so brave and firm when there was so mugh confusion, and these fellows had their bayonets point ed at you V “ Your John replied — “ ‘ Jacob, I came here to do my duty, and lam determined to do it; and, besides, how could a man go back from the right path with such a woman as my Kitty at home praying for me ?’ ” This made Kitty’s tears flow the faster; but they were joyful tears. All young men who fear the draft, go find a wife like Kitty Bragg. xo the Pig. —Our old friend Josh Billings, in bis practice philosophical, treats us to a treatise in the Harding way, relative to the pig.

M lu the East Tennessee Convention at Knoxville, on the 14 th ultimo, Parson Hrownlow delivered one of bischaracteris tic speeches, of which ’he following were the principal, points: “I say that for more than eighty year* slavery has ruled this Governmentand that lor more than three years, because it could no longcr rule, it has bought with fire and sword 1 , and the assassin's knife andtbedua geon, and the rack and the stake, jand eye •y device that bell could suggest to ruin this Government. Since the foundation of this government there have been nineteen Presidents Of these the south have had thirteen. The North had, in all, but six, and of these six we kidnapped three and with them ploughed our cotton fields, as we plough with bulb and heifers. We have hud most of the foreign appointments, and the hind teats of the federal kine at bother and these things we had when we were not able to pay our postal expense to the, gen eral govorment. And why'? We did not solicit these things—we demanded them. In the name of our superior manhood, or peculiar institution, our hightened chival ry. we demanded them. ‘ ‘Whence this arrogance? We got it from the negro. * • • ■ And now I am asked to let him alone as property. 1 fought Andrew Jackson all his life ; hut it my prayers could bring him from his grave 1 would have had him at the White Ufouse > when the negro sent the Southren chivalry to hold a club over the head of that mean, musty, miserable mockery of a man, Old Public Functionary. J ackson would have raised ten feet iu his boots, and kicked the wretched Pennsylyanjan through South Carolina into the Atlantic. Ocean. And it he were here to-day, he would kick these copperhead resolutions into the ground and grind them to powder under his feet. ■‘Yes. gentlemen, we of the South Are responsible for this war. Before Gpd,. 1 tell you 'hat we made it necessary, wheth er or no ; that we forced it upon the coun try, and this without the shadowof ah ex cuse. I have been a pro-slavery man* the best pro-slavery man in the house. But 1 am a Union man. * So 1 told the Alabama Legislature in a speech five years ago.- They were then preparing for war, and had made an appropriation of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for arming! the State. And further back than that, when Henry A. Wise was Governor of Virginia, he wyote letters to the Governors of the Southern States, declaring that in the event of the election of Fremont to the Presi dency of the United States, he would head an army, march into Washington;'ant! iu the name of the Sonth, seize and possess the Government. •• We of the South have iutended this re bellion for more than thirty years. South Carolina aqd two or more cotton States have never been republican, and never had a republican government. South Carolina would have seceded in Jackson’s time, but the old hero took Calhoun by the throat and choked him down. And this choking is a remedy that ought to have been resort ed to in the Congress of the United States when traitors like that walking liquor-shop Wigfall, who had sworn to support the Constitution of the United States* were in secret caucus every night plotting this re bellion. * * And still you ding to slavery. Well so be it. You will have a good time clinging to the negro; joy be with you. As for me, I shall cling to the Union and let the nigger go. He used to be a local insti tution among us, but now he is what we Methodists call an intinerant. * *j * You used to cry out separation, anti you got it; and you have it to-day to your heart’s content. You are separated jfrom your sons, some of you, and from your farms and houses, your fence-rails, your mules and homes. You used to ! out representation, and you got it. Toq are represented in every rqbel army in the South—in every prison and bastile ini the North, and you have more representatives, in hell than any other set of men between heaven and hell. Liquor in the Abky.—General How ard made the following sensible remarks as to liquors in the army, in a late speech: I did not dijnk at college, 1 did not drink at West Point ;• but when I got; into the army I found it was all the fashion. If you went into an officer's the first thing was to offer you something ito drink. U was thought you did hot treat him with proper respect if you did not- I fell into jbe habit. 1 drank whiskey arid offered it to others.
