AY TELEGRAPH. Gee. R. Baker, Esq., the well known author, has just published an interesting etatement of • OUR, SPECLAL DLSPATOIEES, facts obtained from a loyal Southern lady who escaped to the North, and Is now in Philadel phia. Ile say.: The common understanding in the North is that the southern people are united against us ; that men, women and children regard us with a hatred which their traitoroua friends are ever ready to justify, and at which even loyal minds do not wonder. This idea will be somewhat modified by narrative. Even in the City of Charleston, where the first ' -Taring blow was struck against the National authority—a city which le now looked upon as the very focus of the rebellion—there ro tate a number of loyal people who are bold enough to perform the duties of humanity, despite the jeers and threats of their follow citizens. The lady whose history forms the subject of my communication was %consistent and out-spoken Union woman from the time of the secession convention until the day of her departure from Charleston ; nor was she without allies, who sustained her with their sympathy, and put into her hands the meant by which she aecemplished great good towards our Buffering prisoners of war. The facts which the lady relates are sus tained by documentary evidence, principally letters from the prisoners themselves, which would fill a small volume. All these I base examined with ears, and compared with the clear and truthful story of the lady, ee that I have not a doubt of the aecutricy of my state ment. Many of the letters are from officer. of the army and navy of the United States, who were known to be prisoners of war in Charleston at the time of the occurrence, and they all breaths one spirit of thankfulness to wards the good angel which Providence sent to them in the midstof horrors without parallel anywhere but in the South. Some of the prisoners deems that they owe their lives entirely to her exertions, and all of them ex press warmth of gratitude that mast arise from very deep feelings. • When the first Union prisoners were sent to the Charleston jail the univereal sentiment amongskthe rebel citizens was, "Now we have some of those Yankees in our power, lot us Lost them according to their deserts." To the shame of the soldiers who had the prison ers in charge, they permitted themselves to be influenced by the popular clamor. The prisoners were treated with the utmost rigor; or rather, they were shut up in a filthy I jail, and systematically, neglected in every way, estate of things to which any treatment, however severe, would have been merciful. They were stripped of their clothing, they were starved, they were almost deprived of water, they were never permitted to pass the I confines of their filthy chamber, they were abused in person, and they were threatened with ihstant death on the slightest infraction of the military rules of the jail. Hearing of this deplorable state of affairs, the lady before mentioned obtained scents to the prisoners by means not necessary to specify, and found such condition to be even worse than it had been described to bor. She immediately set herself to the task of atiewinting their suffer ing. She secretly collected from the 1:11600 men of Charleston thirty-five hundred dollars, to which sum she added five hundred dollars of her own small fortune, and with this money ebe from time to time purchased such pro visions and comforts as oho thought necessary for the prisoners, and privately introduced her stores daring her daily visits to the jail. Nor did her kind Offices end here. She and her children faithfully nursed those of the prison ers who were suffering with wounds or with disease, and expended their own domestic luxuries in alienating the exacting wants of the sick bed. These scenes of misery were sufficiently trying to a kind-hearted women, bat more awaited her. On the arrival at Charleston of the prison er. from the captured steamer Isaac Smith, the lady prepared herself with a large supply of provisions, and entered the jail. The first eight that met her eyes was the body of a stal wart, athletic man, lying upon the floor, per fectly naked and apparently dead. On stop ping to examine him, She tound that hew4.s not dead, but in a stupor, produced by ex treme suffering. She applied a large bowl of tea to his lips, when, to her astonishment, he seized it and drained it almost at a draught. This man had not had so much as a morsel of food or a cup of water for three days. lie was terribly wounded upon the head, and from the wide and putrid wound the washed 0 double-handful of flies and maggots Owing to her judicious nursing, this man lived to thank his benefactress. The second man the , saw lying in a corner of the prison, almost naked, with his limbs drawn up and twisted to- ' gether as if he were then in the agonies of death Observing that the lady was making towards this sad object, the jailor said: "Yen need not trouble yourself about that The doctor lays he has not five minutes of life in him." So the lady passed on to the ether sufferers who might be benefited by her cars. She found that they were all in mortal need of her services ' but none as she afterwards discovered, to her horror, was in such need as the miserable man whom eke had jest passed by, thinking his ease hopeless. on I visiting the prison the next day, she found him still lying in the position in which she had left him, alive and smeared over with the filth which the poor creature in the frenzy of- I famine, bad gathered from the floor and at., tempted to devour. This man, nothwith-.1 standing all the lady could do for him, died I at the end of another day. I know that this scene is revolting to common sensibility, but I it is not given to excite sentimental pity nor pleasant tears. It is the stern, hard, terrible truth, which the men of the north should know when they come to deal with the mis creants who inhabit the doomed city wherein thistragedy was enacted. As long as the Union prisoners remained in Charleston the lady was assiduous in her at tentions to them ; but there came an order removing them to Columbia. Then the last tie of her affection Tor Charleston was broken; she prepared to quit a home which ebe had occupied for twenty years, and if possible to make her way to the Nord:.. Already she had received warnings from her :friends, and no tices to quit the town from her enemies. She and her children were pursued with hoots and jeers as they passed along the etreets. They were denounced as "damned yankeee," and on one occasion some chivalric son of the Smith took up what in their exaggerated lan guage they term a "rook," and hurled it after the helpless woman. Gathering together her movable household goods and her scanty fond, now much reduced, with her family of feu: young children, she, at great expense, mad, her way to Richmond, and was permitted' cross within lines.

In its last expiring throes the rebellion is uttering deep groans through its leaders and press. To die respectably is their aim, as they now full well Lome their coming doom, which is drawing nigh. The subterfuges they are resorting to to reanimate the drooping Write of a despond ing people portray most forcibly their ex treme weakness. Through the whole Confed eracy editorials of all the papers are appeal ing to the people in meet piteous tones to lend all their energies to the returning of absent ees and stragglers to the army. They admit that half their military force is 'twittered In fragments over the country, and that It ought ' to be drawn in and consolidated, when the boastingly assertion Is made, that if this were done not another man would be required in the field. This plea is pushed forward to soothe the restless men woo aro manifesting a spirit of resistance to conscription. Those who have escaped the army acorn that all who are now engaged In mehanical and agricultural pur suits moot there remain, as their services In those fields are absolutely needed, and cannot be spared for any other duty. Mechanics and farmers aro shirking military duty, and they, to secure themselves, and to pet their loyalty above suspicion, raise loud cries against de— serters, and are using their energies to return them. This Is nothing:more than disaffection among the reliels,and it is showing itself more and more every day much to _the dismay of the loading traitors. The Richmond papers make all sorts of ex cuses for the continued absence of Mr. Stev ens. This fact is regarded in circles here as mnfirmatory of the truth of the statement that a servant of Jeff.

'l9.—The steamers Isabella and Empire City came up the Mississippi river to any, the latter from Ilat Island. The Luierne was sunk at Crawford's land ing in sixteen feet water, but can be saved ; her freight was on barges and is safe. The Starlight was sunk at hanging-dog Island but can be raised ; most of her freight is in two or three barges belonging to the above boats, and is lost. The damage is not known. Great anxiety prevails at Knoxville, with something of a panic. Foster is confident of thwarting the enemy. It is pretty certain that Longstreet is heavily reinforced. Several prisoners taken were fre,.h from Richmond. _ _ FROM CINCINNATI Sprrinl Het,.lelt to the Pittnioargb Get1 !•ri r A.
