Talk with a Returned Prisoner. To the Editor of the New York Tiilune. Sik Returning from Washington, last night, 1 happened to meet a very intelligent young man named Hewitt C Sprngiies, a member of the New llaveu (Conn.) Greys, who liau been a prisoner ut Manassas been a iirisoner ut Mnnassus ui.d Richmond for two weeks. It seems that he ami two others from Connecticut, and two member of the New Yotk Sixty-ninth, were on the battle field when Colonel or Lieuten ant Colonel Gardner, of the Georgia Regj. uieiit, fell wounded. They carried this r.flicer among the wounded on both sides, to a neigh boring house, and when they found tlnit their own army wus retreuling, they whiw about to make their own retreat, when the Culotiel re (tuested Ihetn to remain, and he would see them protected. They did so, and were ecu I on with the others to Fortress Monroe, under u fiig of truce, on Monday. It seems that these young men, having got several (f the wounded nil bolh sides to u house on un eminence, they ran up a white II ig, but tin- Secessionists continued firing upon it. The Colonel requested tu be curried tu the sheltered side el tl,e huuse, but the shells and bulls fell thick und fust around them. The Colonel continued Io A-xclaim against Ibis filing, and said, 'They will kill us !" At length, however, '.he firing ceased, and these young continued all night attending the sick und wounded. Mr. Spragues auys he thinks Gen. Ibivis was not commanding any part of the field ou the day of tlie battle, though tie was Ih.-re purt of the day. He did not ride n conspicuous white horBu. He vis iteil Col. Gardiner, and congratulated him ou the splendid victory, und indulged in various reiiiuik about the running of the Yankee troops. nomehow the Colonel lost sight of bis frieuda and benefactors. They were imprison ed a week at Manassas and a week ut Rich mond, when an order came for their release, Ihey were lakeu to the Evetelt House in Richmoud, their board paid, and new cloth- lug, (be uniform of the Secessionists, given to them to prevent annoyance to them us ecu mies, ami for a week they wandered through Richmond us they wished. The dead on the field were all buried, and the wounded cared for rather slowly. The Federal surgeons were taken away prisoners from their wouuded, but attended to bolh frieuds and loea aa they were brought in Large uumbers undoubtedly died from neg lect, who, with more prompt treat meut might have beeu saved Several were brought in, their wounds undressed, and swarming with uiagol. Oar Surgeon, ha thinks, attended more Secessionists lhau Federalists. One poor fellow was brought in on horse back from the. field of buttle to Manassas, with ball iu his brain, entering his forehead and lodging tbere. His head was frightfully swollen. His ryes were closed, and be wan dered blindly around, stumbling over the oth er wounded. 11 mad bo complaint, ntver spoke a word, made no sigos of pain, arid died as quietly as if falling into peaceful sleep) he must have been wounded on Sunday, crawled about the battle field till Tuesday, when he was brought in nnd died on Wednes day. He was said to belong to Maine H;iment, and was a splendid lorkiog fellow. At Manassas, the lower room of large building was occupied by the woonded, the upper part by the prisoners. At Kichtnottd, five hundred and fifty prisoners were in our building on two floors. 1'hey were pucked to gether und suflered severely from swarniiog vermin, aud Tor want of air, food, water, and room. It was a luxury to get down on the Boor, filthy and Wet as it was. The talk was very strong against the North. The common idea is that the North Bre cowards. Tui-y have no doubt that Washington will soon be in their hands, and that Marylaud will be out of the Union. The cry U, "On to Washington!" One of Spragues' parly suggested that it was a pity for people of the same blood and nation to be fighting. The answer was, "It's a lie, we don't own that the North is the samo race or nation with ns." New troops are arriving daily, though Mr. Kprague thinks there are not riiore than 12.000 in and about Richmond. He thinks Rich mond is uot as well fortified asManassuB. Thev hove uo fear of Richmond being attack ed. 'I hey expect to engage McClellan in front of Washington, and then cross the To toinuc somewhere and seize Washington end carry Marylaud. Three or foui batteries had arrived in "Richmond from (he Soul b. Com ing out from Norfolk they passed a large lot of artillery lor Sewall's Point. The people of Norfolk crowded to see the pnrty who were to he sent out tinder a flag oflruce. The rrowd suggested that the next l"ad bp sent without their heuds. Mr. Sprnguo und his companions were discharged without any condition or purole. The order for I heir lii-ichurge was very complimentary, and l'res ident Ilavis and Gen. Beauregard expressed their obligations to them. One of Bentire card's stall was around Richmond with them. near Mr. Bright, of England. At a late meeting iu England, Mr. Bright said : Now, recollect what breaking the blockade means. It means a war with the United Stales; and I don't think myself lliut it would be cheap (o break the blockade, at the rost of a war wilh the United States. I think that the cost of a wnr with I he United States would give, probably, half wages, foro very considerable time, to those persons in Lancashire who would be out of woik if there wus no cotton, to say nothing at all of the manifest injustice and wrong against all international law that a legal and effective blockade should be interfered wilh by another country. It is not exactly the business of this meeting, but my opinion is thul the safety of the products on which this country depends rests far more on (be success of the Washington Government than upon its fail ure ; and I believe nothing could be more monstrous than for us, who aro not very averse to war ourselves, to set op for critics rntping, caviling critics of what the Wash ington Government is doing. 1 saw a letter the other day from uu Englishman, resident for twenty-five years in Philadelphia, a merchant there, end a very prosperous mer chant. He said, "I prefer the institutions of this country (the Uoited States) vpry much to yours in England;" but he says also, "If it be once admitted that here we have no country and no Government, but that any portion of these United Slates can break oil from the central Government whenever it pleases, then it is lime for me to pack up what 1 have, and to go somewhere where there is a country and a government." Well, that is the pith of this question. Do you suppose that if Lancashire and Yorkshire thought that they would bleak off from the Lulled Kingdom, that those newspapers wlto uro now preaching every kind of moderation to the Government of Washington would ndvise the Government in London to ullow these two counties to 6et up a spectul govern ment for themselves ? When the people of Ireland usked that they should secede, was it proposed in London that they should be allowed to secede peaceably? Nothing of the kind. 1 am not going to defend what is taking place in a country that is well able to defend itself. But 1 advise you, and I advise tiie people of England, to abstain from applying to the Uoited Stales doctrines and principles which we never apply to our own cuse. At any rate, iney nave never lougni for "the balance of power" in Europe. They have never fought Io beep up a decaying empire. 'Ihey have never squandered thu money of their people in such phantom expe ditions as we have been engaged in. And now, at this moment, when ynu are told that they are going to ba ruined by their vast expenditure, why the sum that they are going to raise in the great emergency of this grievous war is no greater lhau what we raise every year during a time of peace. Loud cheers. They say that they are not going to liberate sluves. No; the object of the Washington Government is to maintain their owu Constitution, and to act legally, as it permits and requires. No man is mote in fuvor of peace than I am ; no limn bus de nounced war more than 1 have, probably, in Ibis country ; few men in their public life have suil'ered more obloquy 1 had almost said, more indignity in consequence or it But I cannot lor the life ol tne see, upon any of those principles upon whlcb States tue governed now 1 say nothing of the literal word of tba New lestament 1 cannot see bow the state of affairs in America, wilh tegard (o Ibe United States Government could have beets tlith-rent from what it is at this ir.cinei.t. We had a heptarchy iu this country, and it was thought to be a good thing to gel rid of it, and to have a united nation. If the thirty-three or tkirly four States of the Am- rican Union can break off whenever Ihey like, 1 Van see nothing but disaster and contusion thioughoul Ibe whole of that continent. 1 say that I lie war, bu it successful or not, bu it Christian or uot, be it wise or not, is a war to sustain the Govern ment, and In sustatu the authority of a great nation; aud that the eople of England, if they ure true to their own sympathies, to their owu history, and to tbeir owo great act of !o34, to which reference has already been made, will have no sympathy for those who wish to build up a great empire on Ibe per petual bondage of in i II iocs of their fellow men.

Peact and OmtjyromUt Repudiated, Yesterday we announced the fact that the people of Eastou bad beeu aroused to fury by the Conduct of certain speakers at a Demo erotic meeting, aud the past course ol certain old Breckinridge organs, which persisted in contriving to give aid and comfort to (he enemy. The following is a detailed account of the transaction, from (he Entlon Journal Immediately after the reading of Ihe reso lutions at the Democratic met ting on Moo day afternoon there was disapprobation manifested io the crowd, and soon afler Colonel .Johnson commenced his address it Increased, and be was requested by oue of the Associate Judges (a Democrat, who is a true and loyal citizen) to desist in his expres. sions of svmnathv with the rebels, lie was permitted to go oo with his address which win lengthy, at the close of which a citizen wus called upon for n reply, who wbb not permitted to speak. The excitement in- I creased, and a fight look place ut the Amer ican Hotel where pistols were drawn. LiHily in the evening several hundred per sons assembled in front of Colonel Johnson's residence in thu Square. They burnt his effigy and would have scuttled his bouse, had it not been for his family and seviral Repub. licins who were present. The crowd then proceeded in a body to the ofllee of the Enston Sentinel. Mr. Neimnti resides in another pari of the town, which perhaps saved him from persntiul barm. All the printing muteriul and furniture in the lirt and second stories wew thrown into the i street, set fire to and b'nrfu".

He then expressed bis great pleasure ul seeing so lanje. and respectulle a number of bis fellow citizens before bun nil of which was well received by his visitors. Ihey visited Messrs. nenedict, lieorge Able, O II. Myers, John Sletor. and Judge Stein. No injury was dona at these pluc. s, os they decl.ired themselves for the Union, and willing to sustain (he government iu its efforts (o put down rebellion. We underetaud it was (he intention of the crowd to pay their respects to sortie oilier residences suspected to be occupied by secessionists and compel tliem to show their colors, but being worn out by the fatigues of the nihl dispersed. We ure opposed to ujtijtuous parades. r!otou. gatherings, hatiiiir.g and burning effigies, and an unlawful d.islruct ion or prop erly, but if there are men amongst us who oro iu the practice of encouraging the rebels now fighting uguinst ihe Union, which is admitted to be the besl govenitiii-i.t ever established, they should not be spared.

Germantown EdtVard Everett on Secession Tapers In the North. There are presses, for (he most part In the Border Stales, (hough some of (hem are found In oil lee more remote from the scene of action, which ere dnilj) plttAiliiig the c.nae of the enemy, misrepresent ing anil Villifyinfr (be Government of the United States, exag gerating every article of unfavorable inlelli. gence. and exerting themselves to the utmost to dishearten the friends nnd defenders of the Constitution and the Uuinti. But such is the all hut superstitious devotion of the people to the liberty of the presa. that llieje pernicious journals have, with the exception r.f a few instances, never been interfered with. It seems Io have been thought belter hy (hose in authority Io tolerate the mischief of these unpatriotic; presses, I ban to elevate them to greater lmportui.ee by proscription, or to encroach in the slightest degree upon the freedom of public discussion, w hich in ordinary tunes is juslly regarded as one of the grvotest safeguards of liberty. Rut it in preposterous to rnvrifice the end to the meant. We should in this respect learn wisdom from Ihe enemies of the Union. While wo regard as unbecoming onr Christian civiliza. tion that resort to Lynch law, by which every expression of opinion adverse to the popular sentiment is suppressed in the Seceding Stales, we ought t- remember that in tolera ting a traitorous Press nmong ourselves, we practice a liberality which awakens no gruti lude at home, and is never reciprocated by the opposing parly. It is iu fact an absurdity in terms, under the vein-ruble numo of the liberty of the Press, to pel mil I he systeinn' ic and licentious abuse of a Government .which is tusked to the utmost in defending the country from general disintegration und political chaos. The Governor of Malta wus once confuted in Parliatnen' for some all 'ged f e verily 1o ant the editor of u journal in tint island, and the liberty or the Press was tin. dared to be in danger. The Duko ol Wel lington said hp was us friendly bs anybody to the liberty of the Press in London, but a free Press in the Island ol Malta was as much nut. of place as il would be on the quarter-deck of u man (if-wnr. We suppose the most enthu siastic chumpion of the liberty of the Press would hardly think it right to publish a journal within the walls of Fort Mcllenry, in which the officers of that garrison should be daily advised In desert nod the men he con. stiintly exhorted In mutiny; and whose columns should be filled with persistent abuse of the Government and ull engaged in Its defence. Why should journals of thut de scription be allonod to dilluse their poison beneath its walls amnlst the excitable popu lation of n Intge cily ? A Ptm.ADKi.i'lilAN, just returned from ; Washington; has related Io the editor of the Vr.vi the following incident of the recent disastrous battle ut Manussas: In the Government hospital, on the day' after the bal l'.o, lay n youthful member of the Ellsworth Znuuve Corps, w ho, not withstand ing t he frighl fill nalti'e of his wounds, bore his sufferings with a putienl heroism, ukio lo Inspiration.

At length, turning slowly over on his si.le, his vucuut eyes intl bur longing, ugoiiiiting gaze. A train of. long-buried recollections seemed instantly lo have awakened themselves in his bosom, and, mui inuring with the arlleFsness ! of a child, "kiss me good niht, mother," be j fell buck, nr.d was deud ! I The gentleman to whom the incident was related pencilled the lulluwitig lines, ill the cars, during bis trip from Baltimore to this city ; "r;is3 sir (inoi) KiniiT, mother." Mother, dear mother, the duy bos seemed long Since the lark warbled his national song. Saiily Ihe hours have passed since the morn; Darkly the moments thai ne'er fun return 1 No beaming hopefulness, no jojoiis my, No cheerful suusliine to brighten my way.

There is too much truth in Ibe following paragraph we copy Irom a long and able editorial iu the Prist: "A Peace putty iu the North is nothing more ibun the reseive forces of Mr. Jefieist u Davis.
