CRUELTY OF REBEL AIEJTOORITIES
=
There are some things spoken of as suf
ficient to open the eyes of the blind and to
unstop the ears of the deaf. They are over
whelming FACia, bcfore which the facet in
vetairde prejudices and the- most cherished
judgments must go down, and which no
amount of influence can keep from passing
into the body of history and the settled
convictions of mankind. Such is the story of the
massacre of St. Bartholomew, the persecution
of the "Huguenots, Albir"euses and Waldenses,
o" Spanish Prof ehtants by Philip, and of Dutch
Protestants by Alva. No amount of white
washing can hide the true tint of the scarlet
whore, can Make a merciful man out of Nero,
or Herod the Great, a good man out of Judas,
a just man out of Pilate, or a martyr out of
Pharaoh. Certain dey , lopments are being'
made during this war which will set a brand
as ineffaceable and infamous as any of
these, upon the character of the rebellion. An
example of inhumanity as conspicuous as any
the world has ever seen will pass into history
in connection with its name. It will stand
beside the Inquisition and the Sepoy rebellion,
and the p.m on which its barbarities are
written will be hurried over, liko theirs, with
a shudder.
It is indeed possible, by subtle reasoning,
to shake somewhat the grounds of belief in
some of the enormities referred to as recorded
in history; and in the absence of the specific
testimony of of eye-witnesses, we are obliged
to depend upon the general verdict of cotem
poraries. But the Commissions of Inquiry
appointed by the Government and by the
Sanitary Commission, have put the whole
matter of rebel barbarity upon a footing as
satisfactory as any court of justice would re
quire, in a cotes of life or death. While the
documents which they have issued endure, no
mind capable of receiving testimony will be
able to hesitate a moment as to the reality of
the lamentable and shameful facts,
Wehave before us the thick pamphlet, is
sued from the Living Age office, which con
tains the narrative and sworn testimony col
lected by the agents of the Sanitary Commis
sion upon the privations and suffering of the
LT, S. officers and soldiers, while prisoners of
war in the hands of the rebel authorities. We
hope our countrymen will read it. They
ought to know the diabolical intensity and
malignity of the spirit with which they are
contending. They ought to be instructed
into what depths of inhumanity an unjustifin.-
)Ae rebellion--a pro-slavery mania stimulated
to open war—can plunge their former fellow
citizens, how it can unman and brutalize the
most chivalric and polished of people. They
bright to understand the measure of suffering.
worse than wounding, maiming and death.
Which their noble citizen soldiers are endur
ing for their sake. They should have deeply
wrought into their souls a sense of duty laid
upon them, as minis , ors of justice and of God,
bearing not the sword in vain, to crush such
iniquities, and to make th punishment as
broad, as signal and as conspicuous as the
crime. It would indeed be a fresh crime, to
be, in the slightest degree, indifferent to such
crimes or lukewarm as to their punishment.
The deepest perils must environ a people who
can calmly frame their policy to conciliate the
authors of such enormities. The very foun
dations of morality and of justice must be un
dermined where this can occur.
We cannot even epitomize details of these
harrowing recitals. Every paragraph of the
harrowing Narrative seems burdened with
some fresh horror. First, the captives are
systematically robbed, even of necessary arti-:
cics of clothing. They are packed away in
their prison houses like the miserable cargo
of a slave-ship amid indescribable accumula
tions of uncleanness. They are wantonly
shot down in their defenceless and pitiable
condition, for the sport of their brutal guards.
They are deliberately starved and suffered
to pine away with hunger and cold—a slow
torture which even the Indians, with all their
refinements of cruelty, did not inflict on their
victims. The succour sent by their friends
in the North is plundered from them, or piled
up in the sight, but beyond the reach of thefam
ished men, thus putting them in the hell of the
ancient mythology, and inflicting on them
the pangs of Tantalus. Dogs, rats, bones,
cast-away refuse were eagerly seized by these
famine-stricken. men for food. Some were
thrust into green and slimy dungeons, so full
that all were obliged to stand all night. Loath
someness, vermin, cold and hunger, hospitals
. scarcely equal to good hog-pens, swept them
nivay by hundreds. Even the bodies of those
who fell victims to these cruelties, were suf
fered to be partly devoured by hogs, dogs and
rats. And preparations were actually made
to blow up the Richmond prisons, with all
their inmates, in the event of the capture of
the city by our forces. And as for those who
escaped alive and were returned exchanged
to the North, language fails to describe their
pitiable, emaciated, loathsome condition;
some idiotic, some imbecile, many dying,
many requiring months of cleansing to restore
the functions the skin, some partially blind,
deaf and dumb, some maimed from frost, and
all ravenous beyond expression for food.
They were not the victims of disease, but of
systematic starvation, of overcrowding, of
confinement in foul abodes, and of exposure
like beasts to all the changes of the seasons
and the atmosphere.
And all these sufferings betel them at the
hands of an enemy who was able to feed,
clothe, nurse and give adequate medical at
tention to his own army, and who could plead
no act of our Government towards his own
men in our hands, as a justification. Thus
r t d a t i s n .
far every statement is proved beyond possi
bility of doubt. "Tens of thousands of hell . .
less men have been and are now beinb
abled and destroyed by a procesf:, as
as poison, and as cruel as the torture or ' urn
ing at the stake, because nearly as agonizing
and more prolonged. This spectacle is daily
beheld and allowed by the rebel government."
And what is the crushing and inevitable in
ference? That these sufferings "were de
signedly inflicted upon them by the authority

sired to avoid the conclusion.
The race of men who under the debasing
influence of slavery have become capable of
such unspeakable cruelties, and who are so
unconcious of their crim'uality as to appeal to
Heaven and to mankind in justification of
their cause, cannot be tolerated by the ad
vancing civilization of the world, any more
than the cruel and crafty red-man of the
forest.. They will not reform; they will not
accept offers of peace. Glid in his justice will
suffer them to harden their hearts like Pha
raoh and will consign them to Pharaoh's doom.
The South will persist, will again and again
rally and fill up the ranks of her shattered
armies, will be suffered to gather courage
from partial defeats and repulses of the North,
will in fine prolong the war sufficiently to
secure the sweeping of her cruel and relen
tless population frOm the face of the earth.*
*Just as we lift our pen from the toper, we hear of our
Government purchasing flour for the rebel prisoners at
Fort Delmore, of a quality commanding the price by the
thousand bane's of $12.50 per barrel. That will do as a
specimen of our mode of treatment of our captured ene
mies.
Bums and bears must have a gay time at
the Richmond stock exchange, gold being now
at a premium of 4,000 per cent., or forty dol
lars for one. Gold has advanced at the rebel
capital since the defeat of the peace candi
date at the North for the Pr sidency from
about 2,400 per cent. to its present figure, and
like all rebel finances, the tendency is still up
ward. ,
Our Friends in England
On the day of the Presidential election,
John Bright, a true descendant of Hampden,
testified the great interest of liberty-loving
Rng,lishmeli in our cause, by writing to : a
friend as follows : "To-day the great issue is
to be decided. I think the Secession papers
here arc- rather sick of their Clients; and it is
time the whole civilized - world 'should `spew
them out of its mouth.' Richard Cobden,
twin brother with Bright in fame and hbnor,
wrote these shrewd words : "The only thing
that seems to give me anxiety is the appre
hension that either at the polls or after the
election there may be confusion or rioting,
which may spread in the North. Against the
probability of this is the inherent reverence of
the Americin3 for the rights of the majority. But
the times are exceptional, and the long lease
of the rebel Government at, Richmond is an
evil example. Besides, I tear that Jeff. Davis
has his desperadoes ready for action in many
of the Northern States. Let us hope Lin
coln's majority will be so overwhelming as to
leave no room for caviling about votes.
—John Bright and Richard Cobden have,
ero this, heard that the great issue has been
decided, and that the inherent reverence of
the American people for the rights of the
majority, has prevented anything like a revolt
in the loyal States in opposition to the result
of the Presidential election.

TEE PASSPORT SYSTEM REVIVED.—The fol
lowing has to-day been officially promulgated:
DERSIITMENT or STATE, WAKED:ETON, Dec.
17, 1864.--The President directs that, except,
immigrant passengers, directly entering an
American port by sea, no traveler shall here
after be allowed to enter the United States
from a foreign country without a passport.
If a citizen, the passport must be from this
Department, or from some United States min
ister or consul abroad, and if an alien, from
the competent authority of his own country,
the passport to be countersigned by a diplo
matic agent or consul of the United States.
This regulation is intended to apply especially
to persons proposing to come to the United
States from the neighboring British Provin
ces. Its observance will be strictly enforced
by all officers, civil, military and naval, in the
service of the United States, and the State
and municipal authorities arc requested to
aid in its execution.
It is expected, however, that no immigrant
passengers coining by sea in the manner afore
said will be obstructed, or any person who
may set out on their way hither before intelli
gence of this regulation could reasonably be
expected to reach the country from which
they may have started.
(Signed) W. H. SE WARD,
Secretary of State.
BALD EAGLE VALLEY ltemnoan.—The grad
ing of this important road is completed. The
intention is to have the rails laid and trains
running its entire length by the first of Jan
nary. When completed it will be one of the
finest and most substantial roads in the State.
It extends in an almost direct line from Ty
rone to Lock Haven. The grade is regular,
without heavy bridges, cuts or fillings.
The country through which it passes is rich
in agriculture, minerals and lumber. Fur
naces and coal mines have been in successful
operation for a number of years. The road
has every advantage for doing an immense
business.

FOR the cure of Coughs, Colds. Sore Throat,
Croup, Bronchitis, Asthma, and all similar com
plaints -
The object of this Medicine is to soothe and ease the
cough ; to dissolve the congealed phlegm that adberes
and sticks to the throat, which excites hacking, hawking,
and coughing ; to relieve the irritation in the throat,
which is produced by catching cold on the slightest ex
posure. It expectorates the diseased matter thathas ac
cumulated in the Lungs which retards and oppresses the
respiratory or breathing organs, heals and nourishes the
lungs and bronchial tubes.
This medial ue gives tone to the stomach, it purifies and
cimulates AM. Mood, which causes oppression of the
cheet and difficulty in breathing.
Good News for Itothors and Children.—Here is the
sufferer's balm 'sheep it in your family, sickness comes
as thief in the night, and your child is suffocated by the
awful disease, Croup, or similar complaints. Here is a
preventative—it is nature's friend.
