A Visit to the Returned Richmond
Prisoners at Annapolis, Md.
ANNAPOLIS, 31d., Dec. 1, 1863,
To the editor of the Daily Morning
Chronicle
DEAR Sin : Although the statements
respecting the extreme wretchedness
of the Union prisoners, returned from
Richmond, seemed to me to be so well
authenticated, as to preclude all
of doubt or mistake, I yet resol
ved to satisfy myself of their truthful
ness, or otherwise, by actual personal
observation: To this step [ was
prompted by no desire to gratify a
mere idle curiosity, but to render to
theAe poor .men, if possible, all the
good that might be in my power
"He that knoweth to do good,"
says St. James, , "and doeth it not, to
him it is sin." Nor are we in our min
istrations of mercy, to wait until occa.
sions for their exercise present them.
selves at our doors, but, in imitation of
our blessed Redeemer, we are to seek
them out. He "went about doing
good," penetrating into the hedges and
by-ways, and scattering benefits and
blessings among the outcast and des
pised of earth.
Actuated by motives such as these,
I paid a visit to the Government hos
pitals. at Annapolis, and proceed to
furnish you with a statement of the
Condition of the prisoners recently re-,
turned front Richmond. In my visit
there I was most kindly assisted' by
Rev. C. Henries, the self-'denying
chaplain in charge of that place.—
Be assured it is not possible to ex
aggerate the scones of horror there
presented : they defy the descriptive
energies of language. The pictorial
representation in Harper's Weekly, so
far from being an exaggeration, atltirds
but a very inadequate view of these
scenes of wretchedness. -In my pas
toral experience I have been at the
bed-side of many dying sufferers; but
never before have my sensibilities been
so shocked as at Annapolis. Md. To
look upon men—not brutes—reduced
to bony skeletons, by withholding fispm
them their daily bread, I never expec
ted to witness in this land of plenty.—
But such I did witness among the re
turned pris - onerS st Annapolis.
An unspeakable satisfaction to me
was to be permitted. 1-' emenany with
the beloved chaplain, to, point oum
ber of such dying starvelings to "the
Lamb of God that taketh away the
sins of the world." In every instance,
when it was in the power of those poor
men to speak, they have died, the last
lingering accents on their lips consist
ing, of invocations to Christ for the re
mission of their sins, and in the sup
plication of blessings from the Almigh
ty Ruler of the world on their beloved
country. Very few of these men after
their arrival here, have been able to
articulate. They could only signify
their wishes by looks and signs ! From
the few who are able to speak, it is
noteworthy fact that I did not hear a
solitary murmur of complaint that
they had enlisted in the service of their
country, or that, by the mysterious
ness of Providence, they had been
doomed, for such it cause, to die even
so ghastly and horrible a death. With
the Apostles of our Lord, these heroic
men seem content, in the prosecution
of their noble work, to endure oven
worse things than a baptism of blood
and a martyrdom of fire, even a hor
ror not confronted by the Apostles
themselves, viz: starvation !
In my intercourse with these fam
ishing victims of Southern barbarity,
I was exceedingly anxious• to learn
their own impressions as to the causes
that underlie the action of the rebel
government towards themselves. Ac
cordingly,
r directed to numbers the
inquiry, "Whether tho treatment they
had received at Richmond was volun
tary or compulsory P If the former,
it would of course be the fault of their
enemies; if the latter, their misthrtune.
With one accord the answer was, that
their dreadful condition was mostly
volunthey—the result of a system of
wanton and deliberate cruelty ! Tho
Richmond conspirators, our prisoners
admit, are in straits—and have it not
in their power to bestow upon them
oven a tolerable degree of care and
attention. But their condition is not
go desperate that they might not, if
they wished, afford thorn at. least as
much daily food as would serve to
preserve tho holy partnership which
the bountiful Creator hath instituted
between the soul and body. Their
own destitution the rebels seize upon,
not a a real and truthful justification
of their inhumanity, but as a pretext.
And this they do, not in sorrow, but
in the intense maliciousness of diabol
ism itself! They gloat over it, that
for the display of their fiendish cruelty,
they have an argument plausible
enough' to acquit themselves to their
own 'wicked "foregone conclusions,"
however transparent its flimsiness to
all the world beside. I stood at the
bedside of a dying loyal youth from
Tennessee. I kneeled at his bedside
in prayer. He claimed to have made
his peace with God, through faith in
Jesus Christ. In the very article and
hour of death, when all purposes aro
honest and all secrets aro revealed, I
asked him : "Do you think, my young
brother, that the men at Richmond
have starved you to death from choice,
or were they driven to it from necessi
ty ?" His answer was, "God forgive
them; they might have done better if
tboy had wished." The utterances of
another wore: "I know they could
have given us more food than they
did, frpm the amount they gave to the
guards. But they wished us to starve.
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY,
ono of their leading men said to me:
'Libby Prison and Belle Island are our
best Generals!—they aro killing off
more men than Bragg and Lee!'"
Ono other fact I learned, most dis
creditable to the ' rebel authorities.—
Belle Island is a contracted patch of
ground, Consisting of only three or four
acres, on which thousands of prisoners
are crowded, with scarcely a foot of in
tervening space. The water they aro
compelled to drink is in close proxim
ity to the sinks, and, necessarily, pol
luted and poisoned. This the prison
, ors are compelled to drink, in very
sight of clear and wholesome water,
which is running in perennial streams
before their eyes. Their hardships are
thus purposely aggravated, and under
them an iron constitution melts away
as frosts before a summer's sun. This,
indeed, is the very refinement of cruel
ty.
From another of the dying men I
learned the astounding fact that, since
the incarceration of our poor prisoners
at Richmond, in no solitary instance
has a Woman appeared in their midst
to minister even to bur wounded and
dying! From tno "gentler sex," ordi
narily so noted fur the finer and better
sensibilities of human nature, not one
of our prisoners has received so much
as a cup of cold water— nothing but in
sults and reproaches. How strikingly
this contrasts with the kindness lavish
ed by the ladies of the North on the
suffering rebels whom the "accidents"
of war have thrown into our hands.—
After the battle of Gettyshu-g, num
bers of ladies from Philadelphia and
elsewhere hastened.to the scene and
distributed stores to the amount of
thousands, indiscriminately. Between
the parties they made no distinction.--
Had they• been monsters in human
shape, they might Lima Lave cuffered
thousands to die of neglect. But it
sufficed for them to know, that altho'
engaged in a gigantic iniquity—such
as has not been paralleled in the annals
of crime since the crucifixion of Christ
on Cavalry—these misguided men
were, nevertheless, of the race of our
universal 'manhood. redeemed by the
blood of Christ. This consideration
alone sufficed to secure to them a pass
port to the enlarged sympathies and
the most generous and substantial aid
of our Christian ladies. These, as
thousands can and do attest, wore most
spontaireously rendered, "without re
spect to persons " In no pharasaical
spirit, but in that of unsophisticated
truth and soberness, may we, who es
pouse the side of the UnionAthank God
that such cruelty and inhumanity as
are no w—u,d. , r review may not he
charged to us.
To the conduct of the rebel conspir
ators it adds monstrous aggravation,
that these barbarities are being enact
ed in Richmond, under the immediate
cognizance of the so-Called Confederate
authorities. Did they occur in the
wilds of Arkansas or Texas, or among
the Sioux savages on the Pembida, they
might challenge some degree of' pallia
tion. But when we call to mind that
the voluntary starvation of defenceless
men is occurring at Richmond, within
the sound of the voices of Jefferson
Davis, Judah P. Benjamin, and their
associates in crime, then does the bo
gus Confederacy itself become respon
sible for these atrocities, to God and
man. Then will impartial men, all the
world over, maugre all their efforts to
newiith, the sraind ty loo,din ff „
it into a mazy labyrinth of doubt,
reach the inevitable conclusion, that
these men deserve the scorn of the civ
ilized world, not to speak rf the just
vengeance of Heaven. Surely, the
bronzed terrors of an incensed Omnip
otence must ultimately overtake them.
But, can anything still be done for
the relief of our returned Richmond
prisoners? In answer to this interro
gatory, I reply, YES, much, very much.
The Christian and Sanitary Commis
sions have already accomplished won
ders. But individuals and churches
can largely co-operate. Send to the
care of Rev. Henry C Henries, the be
loved chaplain at Annapolis, ]id ,
whatever stores you and your congro
gations can command. Send money, '
which can be used in accommodating
the friends of the suffering mon on
their visits there. Send flannel under
clothing, (shirts and drawers,) woolen
stockings, pocket handkerchiefs, band
ages, &o. • Send liquors and jellies ; and
whatever else your discretion may
suggest, as needful for the sick. And
may the God of all comfort bless and
reward all who do good to our bravo
and noble soldiers!
Very truly your friend,

Pastor of St. Mathew's Lutheran
Church, Now Street, Philadelphia.

-PERSEVERE.-
A Remarkable Escape From Texas—Ad
ventures of Four Methodist Brothers,
who Tied the Rebel Conscription in
Texas,
Correopowlence of toe Mlsiourt Democrat
WESTON, Platte county, Mo., Nov.lo
While upon an excursion toward
your city on Saturday last, I happened
to make the acquaintance on the cars,
of four brothers, who had escaped ro
bel conscription from Decatur, Wise
county, Texas. WITe your read: are
enjoying the great moral victory in
tbo important battlo fought at the
polls, last week, it was thought a briet
account of the escape. Would bo relish
ed by many of your readers, I there
fore transmit from my notes for your
journal.
Their names are William, Samuel,
who left a wife and one child, Arche
leas and Edward T. Ferris. The lat
ter had a wife. They were all Meth
odists; noLie specimens of .humanity—
one was six foot four inches, and the
shortest full six foot in height, and all
ruddy and well proportioned. Tho
eldest was 26 and the youngest 21.
Their father, Isaac, was originally from
Tennessee, a stock-raiser, non-slave.
holder and an ever devoted Union
man. Their parents had been metho
dists from before their recollection.—
There wore five brothers who started,
leaving two younger brothers and one
sister with their parents, with whom
also the two married ones left their
families. At the first breaking out of
the rebellion Jeff. Davis called for vol
unteers only saying. "When it be
comes necessary to draft to sustain
the cause, I'll abandon it." Before
one year, however, drafting corn
tneneed. Then, by law of the Con
federate Congress, the owners of 20
slaves, 500 head of cattle. 300 head
of horses and the manufacturers of cer
tain articles, ono of which was salt,
were exempted- Four'of them formed
a firm manufhetured and were exemp
ted. The other, William, was draf
ted.
About the Ist of July last, it la
came the understanding that the ex
emption law had been. abrogated; the
military commenced :-oonseripting. ev
ery able-bodied man. Any one trying
to evade the conscription was consid
ered a deserter. ...Magruder issued an
order to take no "deserter" alive as ho
would be a nuisance and demoralize
the army. It wits also published at
the county seat, that to talk with a
"deserter" was a peldtenliary of
unless they could prove what he said.
About 60 staunch Union men wore
hung in Wise and Cook counties.
William deserted the Confederate
army and Samuel set himself to form
a company to flee. It was agreed to
depart silently in squads of two or
three and rendezous at it certain Un
ion man's cattle rancho about 150
mileivuistantin. 1.;c1r...
About 30 engaged. They provided
arms and strong, fleet horses; but now
the secret being in so many hands it
leaked. The eldest brother Madison,
with John English (from Missouri,)
had started when the secret became
known. The Confederate' soldiers
scoured the country and headed off
the two. Tho last heard from them
they wore at full speed and being fir
ed at by their pursuers. •
Most of the 30 backed out; hut these
four and James Parish (from liissou
ri) were certain of death if they re
mained, resolved to escape, or sell
their• lives as dear as possible. Their
father, at the usual family devotions
in the evening, commended them to
the care of Divine Providence, char
ged them, if the rebels hung him, to
avenge his death, and strengthened
their faith by assuring them that if
they did right all would come out
right.
Tho morning of the 10th of July
found them secreted in the brush eight
miles from home. There they remain
ed that day. They had a good map,
a pocket compass, matches, a little
salt, about two hundred pounds of
flour, two largo pistols, two six shoot
ers, three double barrelled shot guns
(worth $2OO each in Confederate-mon
ey) ono rifle, each well mounted, and
having three fine extra horses. For
provisions they relied upon finding
game.
Here they wore found by J. Higgins
Bart. W. Armstrong and James Ow
ens, who had, unknown to the others,
started to flee to Kansas through the
Indian country. They were well
mounted and armed. At first each
party took the other for scouts sent
out to arrest them. A recognition,
however, took place before blood was
shed, and the party thus increased af
terwards travelled together.—That
night and the next day it rained in
cessantly, during all which they rode
on. This day they came in sight of a
field in which wore thirty or forty lion
ses, which they conjectured to bolong-
DECEMBER 16, 1868.
to scouts sent out to arrest them, wild
while their horses were feeding, had
taken shelter in an unoccupied cabin
in the field. At this discovery they
wheeled, dashed into the brush and
moved at doule quick, throwing away
their flour (except forty or fifty
pounds,) taking different routes .to
make their pursuers lose their trail.
They met at night, though not before
one was supposed lost. The next mor
ning, by watching their opportunity,
knoWing the time the Rangers were
passing from ono picket to another,
they had passed the line, were outside
the settlements. As the Indians in
the North and West were hostile, they
deemed it impossible to escape in ei
ther direction.—They therefore struck
a southwest course to the Brazos,
then west, and up that river over a
rough hilly country about 100 miles;
• thence a southwest course again until
they reached the head-waters of the
Colorado; thence on until they struck
the old California trail, which they
know by the wrecks strewed along.—
They followed this trail until they
crossed the Pecos a deep narrow
stream with precipitous banks, which
they followed up 70 or 80 miles to
Vope's Artesian Well. This is the
crossing of the Southern overland
stage route, which they then kept un
til they reached the Rio Grande at El
Paso. The military authorities call ,
this Franklin. It is opposite El Paso,
in old Mexico. They had _travelled_
about eight hundred miles, had had no
food for the last day, and were nearly
exhausted.
Here they found a Federal post,
with ono company, under command of
Colonel Bowoy, by whom they wore
welcomed and kindly treated. They
found little game, but with care their
provisions had lasted about throo hun
dred Miles. They killed two poor
bears, in the chase fur which ono of
the brothers was greatly injured, was
an invalid, suffering much and is now
hardly recovered. The meat of the
bears mostly spoiled. They succeed
ed in killing two antelopes. Deer and
antelope were seen in the distance:
They-there found - no-game„:.except
rabbits, of which they killed one each
day for seven days, which they stow
ed in a tin cup, and with one spoonful
of meal they made soup, dividing it
into•eight rations. On thecighth rab
bit day they found none, during which
they fasted. They then killed their
fattest horse, which they jerked and
dried. This lasted until the last day
but ono before they arrived at El Pa
so. Part of their route lay through a
fine grazing country—at times they
had to travel 70, 80, in ono case 120
miles without writer. At El Paso
they sold their rims horses, one of
them having died from exhaustion,
and recruited their strength. Parish,
Aranotonnis ond Trigging wont to the
gold mines. Owens (boy left with
rheumatism, and the four brothers,
humanely furnished with government
transportation, came to Santa Fe,
where they found friends iu Gun. Carl
ton and staff, of whom and all the
Government officials they speak in
warmest terms of • gratitude. Thence
they came to Denver City, which from
El Paso is called a thousand miles.—
There they took the stage and travel
ling day and night seven days, came
to Atchison, across the river from
which they found the first railroad
they ever saw.-,lt is their purpose to
go to New Orleans and join the Fed
oral army under Banks, penetrate in
to Texas, and if living, to bring away

They report the Union sentiment
strong. They think a majority of e

and kept by force.
They say Confederate money was
then worth only ono-third its face in
Wise county, but wore informed that
lower down the State a dealer asked
ten dollars for a pair of boots, cash, or
one hundred dollars Confederate mon

What They Knew 1800 Years Ago.
The letters of the Rev. Mr. Thomp
son, written during his recent tour in
Europe ; Africa and Asia, published in
the N. Y. Independent, are highly in
structive and entertaining. We sub
join an extract relating to the "Lost
Arts :"
The author, on the first of January,
1863, approached Pompeii, one of the
cities overwhelmed by tho ashes and
cinders of Vesuvius, on its memorable
eruption about half a century subse
quent to the commencement of the
Christian era. In the suburbs stands
the first object which was not long
since brought to light after a burial of
ages; it was the large and elegant,
mansion of Arrias Diomedes, which
bears numerous inscriptions as legible
now as the day after they were made;
together with many traces of the great
wealth of the occupant. Toombs and
ornaments remain along the road out
side the city; within are rows of shops
and houses on both side the principle
street, which is laid Gm for half 4.
mile.

Tho portable v.rticlei found 'on the
premises that served to identify each
house, have all been removed to the
museum at Naples ; also the flnerfres
coes and mosaic. Enough of these re•
main, however, to show the luxurious
and the lasciuious taste of the inhabi
tants. Here is a living commentary
upon the concluding verses of the first
chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Ro
mans. The shocking memorials of hu
man depravity here • found and now
collected in the secret chamber of the
Museb Borbonico at Naples, are no lon
ger to be seen upon any terms—the
Pope, when in exile at Nnples,'having
prohibited their exhibition, as contrary
to good morals.' But every memorial
of Pompeii shows it to have been a ci
ty °limit—a second Sodom. The man
of letters who would select such sub
jects for the frescoes of his walls as aro
found in the house of Sallust would be
scouted from our modern society.
Yet wonderful was the perfection of
art as hero exhibited; amazing was
the wealth of a city adorned with such
temples, theatres and other public edi
fices us yet are found in their old pla
ces and proportions along these silent
streets; vast, too, these houses, whose
floors aro rich - mosaics, whose walls are
adorned with elaborate frescoes, whose
courts are surronndcd with marble
pillars and beautiful marble vases and
fountains. In the garden of ono house
recently exhumed, the statuary has
been left precisely as found, pretty lit
tle groups surrounding the fountain,
whose very pipes can be traced from
the reservoir above.
There is nothing now under the sun
no+ even our patent method of heating
houses and of warming water for
baths. This was done at Ponnftii.h.y.
means of-flues - of tiliiitri.iirried around
the rooms, within the walls, and hav
ing apertures for the escape of the
heat from the furnace below. Walker
Chilson, &c., have invaded the patent
of some luckless dealer in furnaces at
Pompeii, who was buried at last in
ashes and cinders. Wo don't know
so much after ull, in America, in this
nineteenth century. Take away the
knowledge of the Gospel, and we know
nothing in comparison with these an
cient lords, of the arts and ologancies
of life.
The streets of Pompeii aro rectan
gular, and were paved, and probably
better regulated than the streets of
Now York.—The houses were much
better built.—no cement made 2000
years ago is like a rock to-day. There
art. no Twenty-first street contractors
herb. How wonderful is the prow
-Sat:ion bithese walls—in-ashes, - to be
sure, but in themselves 'proof against
decay. How wrfect the pillars, the
mouldings, the capitals I How dis
tinct and how delicate the paintings
on the walls and ceiling ! H' ow ad
mirable the arrangement of the hous
es and gardens! How beautiful—but
we must not linger at Pompeii. ' Its
gloom is the more oppressive for the
sunshine upon its desolation.

Teaching Children to Lie.
Children are often taught to lie.
Very many of them readily accept
such teaching, They are apt pupils.
Fathers and mothers and teachers
teach them• to doceive,'to be false, to
lie. Children take to lying almost as
readily as a duck to a green puddle.
Moral and religious training alone can
make them truthful. Without this
training they are certain to 'grow up
into habits of untruthfulness. Liars
of every grade, from the gentle. equiv
ocator to the deliberate, malicious fal
sifier, aro found' in almost every
school. They need to be watched,
taught, reformed. By mans good and
wise teachers, truthfulnbss in all its
purity and nobleness is faithfully in
culcated, and conscientiously exem
plified. By many, less good and wise
falsehood is taught by precept and ex
ample. This bad teaching is given in
various ways:
1. Children are taught to•lie by a
teacher who gives them false reasons
for his acts. He has an object to ac
complish, which
~be would conceal
from his pupils; be, therefore presents
an untrue reason,Or unreal motive, in
stead of the true or real ono.—For ex
ample: At the public examination of
a certain school, the teacher of ono
class said in a low tone to the poor
scholar at the foot, "You needn't re
cite today. We shan't have time to
hear you." The boy instantly replied,
"Is that the true reason, sir ?" The
teacher had lied to the boy, and the
boy know it. What effect that • one
lesson may have bad, time, will tell.
Children are quick to detect depart
ures from truth on the part of the
teacher. They are equally quick to
say, "If our teacher does such things
it is right for us to do them!! • If a
teacher is detected hilt single instance
of falsehood, his moral power 'over his
pupils is weakened—perhaps destroY 7
ed.
2. Children aro taught to lie, when
they are trained to seem to know more
than they do' know. This is a • too
common mode of giving this kind of
