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

Immediately after the reading of Ihe reso

wus called upon for n reply, who wbb not

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

perhaps saved him from persntiul barm. All

lirsi winter Ihe frost hove the plants out of

sprouted up again tbe next spring. They

In the fall of 18"ir3, 1 covered the vines
with hemlock brush ; during the winter the
ground moles cut off about one third of the
vines. The frost egnin hove (bo vines out
of the ground, as in lhf 58, but the vines
were not lulled os in (hat year. During Ihe.
