offers to the Rebels an; one of which is
: fair and honorable
1. Our authorities offered to exobange

2- Geo. Meredith, our commissioner
i of exchange, offered tome days ago to
receive all of tbe prisoners from Rich

should not be allowed to take arms unless
duly exchanged with tbe consent of tbe
Rebel authorities, without reference to

our laws must bow to theirs, just as Brit

demand that the Union fltg under wbioh
they fiht, shsll be no proteetion to col
ored men ; in other words, that we most
bow to their imperial behests as to who
we may choose to resist their bloody eff rta
to take the Nation's life. In this wsy
is tbe negro question by them again forced
upon us. Is it not right that our flag
should protect all who honestly fight

Visit to the Returned Richmond
Prisoners at Annapolis, Md.
Annapolis, Dee. 1, 1863.
To tb Editor of tba Waablogton Chrooklf :
Dear Sib : Although the statements
respecting the wretchedness of the Uoion
prisoners from Richmond, seemed to be so
well authenticated as to preclude all possi
bility of donbt or mistake, I yet resolved
to satisfy myself of their truthfulness, or
otherwise, by personal observation. To
tbis step I wis prompted by no desire to
gratify idle curiosity, bit to render to
these poor men, if possible, all the good
tbat might be in my power. "lie that
knoweth to do good, says St. James,
"and doeth it not, to bim it is sin." Nor
are we, in our ministrations of merey, to
wait until occasions for tbeir exercise
present themselves at our doors, but, ia
imitation of oor blessed Redeemer, we are
to seek them oat.
Actuated by motive inch as these, I
paid a visit to tbe Government hospital
at Annapolis, and proceed to furnish you
with a statement of the eondilion of tbe
prisoners recently returned from Rich
mond. Bo assured, it is not possible to
exaggerate the scenes of horror Ibere pre
sented. Tbe pietorial representation in
Harper' $ Weekly, so far from bsiog an
exaggeration, affords bat n very inadequate
view of these aeene of wretchedness. - Ia
my pastoral experience, I have stood at
the bedside of many dying sufferers;
often have I seen the human frame pain
fully reduced by tbe ravage of consump
tion ; but never before hsve my sensibil
i-
boe0 ,0 nocked as at Aonapolis. To
look npon men, who, a short lime since,
wore robust and stalwart man, not brute

Father, aod redeemed by eommon Lord
to see such reduced to wasted aod bony
akeletoos, by withholding from them the
"daily bread" for the production of which
the Lord of heaven aod earth seeds his
genial sunshine, and bio refreshing rains :
Oh I this waa a aeene which, io this land j Calvary these misguided men were, nev
of plenty, enriched by the super-abundant ertheless, of the raoe of onr universal
goodness of God, I never exoeeted to
witness, such scenes did I witness, only
. . . . . i
to-day, in tbe hospitals at this place men,
irom emancipated nooiea Dreaming oat
their spirits into the hands of tied, whose
death has been literally wrought by the
murderous process of starvation I An
onspeskable satisfaction to me waa to be
permitted, in company with tbo beloved
chaplain, to point a number of such dying
starvelings to the "Lamb of Qod that
taketh away tbe sios of tbe world." In
every iostanee, when it was in the power
of these poor men to apeak, they bsvsdied,
tbe lost lingering acceota on their lipe
consisting of invocations to Christ for the
remission of tbeir sins, and in tbe suppli
cation of blessiogs from the Almighty
Ruler of the world on their beloved coun
try. Very few, after their arrival here,
have been able to articulate. Tbey could
only signify tbeir wishes by looks and
signs! From the few who are able to
speak, it is a noteworthy faot that I did
not hear a solitary murmur of complaint
that they bad enlisted in tbo service of
their country, or that, by the mysterious
ness of Providenoe, tbey bad been doomed,
for sueb n cause, to die even so ghastly
and horrible a death. With tbe Apostles
of onr Lord, these beroio men seem e in
tent, in the prosecution of their noble
work, to endure even worse tbiogi than a
baptism of blood and a martyrdom of fire,
even a horror not confronted by tha Apos
tles themselves, via , etsrvetiou.
In my intercourse with these victims of
barbarity, I was exceedingly anxious to
learn their own impression as to the cause
that underlies tbe action of the Rebel
Government towards tbem. Accordingly,
I directed tooumbers tbe inquiry, "Wbstb-
er tbe treatment tbey bad received
voluntary or compnlsory 1" If tbe former,
it would, of coarse, be the fault of tbeir
enemies; if tbo latter, their misfortune.
With one ecoord tba answer was, that
tbeir dreadful eondilion was mostly valun
tary the result of a system of wsnton and
: atraits, and have it not in tbeir power to
beatow npon them even n tolerable degree
of csre aod attention. Bat tbeir condi
tion is not io desperato that tbey might
not, if tbey wished, afford them at least as
, mueh daily food as would serve to preserve
j tha holy partnership which tbe bountiful
Creator bstb instituted between tba soul
i and body. .Their nwn destitution the
Rebels seixe upon, not as a real and truth
ful juttifieatiun of their inhumanity, bnt
as a pretext. And this tbey do, not in
sorrow, but in tbe intense malieiontnesf of
diabolism itself I
I stood at tha bed of a dying, loyal
j youtb.from Tennessee. I kneeled io pray.
er. lie claimed to have made bis pesee
with God, through faith in Jesus Christ.
In tbe very article and boar of death,
when all purpose are honest aod all
secrets are revealed, I asked bim: "Do
I yon think, my yonng brother, that tbe
men at Richmond have starved you to
death from choice, or were tbey driven to
it from necessity 1" His answer was :
" God jorgitt them! they might have done
letter if they viiihed." The utternnoee of
another were : "2 inotc they could have
given ut more food than they did, from the
amount they gave to the gnardi. But they
wished ut to starve. One of their leading
men aid to me: 'Lilly Prison and
Belle Island are our lent Generals! they
are killing off more men than Bragg and
LeeT"
Ooe other feci I learned, most disered
itable to the authorities. Belle Islaod is
a eootraoted patch of ground, coosistiog
of three or four acres, on wbioh thousands
of prisoner are crowded, with scarcely a
foot of intervening spaee. The water they
are compelled to drink is in olose proxim
ity to tbe sinks, and, necessarily, polluted
aod poisoned. Thi the prisoners are
compelled to drink, in very sight of elear
and wholesome water, whieh ia running in
perennial streams before their eye.
Their hardship are tha purposely aggra
vated ; and under them an iron eooatita
lion mails away aa frost before a summer's
sun. This, indeed, is tha very refinement
of cruelty. ",
From another of the dying men I learn
ed the aatonnding foot, that, since Ihe
incarceration of our poor prisoners, at
Riohmond, in no solitary iostanee has n
woman appeared in their aids, to minister
even to our wonnded and dying I From
the gentler sex, ordinarily eo noted for tbe
finer nnd better sensibilities of human
natare, not one of our prisoners ha recei
ved eo much a a cap of eold water
nothiog bat insalts and reprotehls. How
strikingly this contrasts with the kindness
laviahed by tbe ladiea of ibe North on tbe
suffering Rebel whoa1 tbe Occidents of
war have thrown into our bands ! After
the battle of Gettysburg, numbers of ladies
DEC. 18, 1863.
from Philadelphia aod elsewhere hastened
to the scene and distributed stores to tbe
amount of thoosaod, indiscriminately.
It sufficed for them to know, that, although
engaged in a gigaotie iniquity each as
bos not been paralleled in tha aao.la of
! crime since the crucifixion of Jesus on
manhood, redeemed by tbe blood of Christ.
This consideration alone sufficed to secure
to tbem a passport to the enlarged sympa
thies and tbo most generous and substan
tial aid of our Christian ladies. These, as
thousands ean and do attest, were Viet
spontaneously rendered, without respeot
of persons. In no pbarisaieal spirit, but
in that of unsophisticated troth and sober
ness, may we, who espouse tbe side of tbe
' Union, thank Uod that such cruelty and
inhumanity as are now under review, may
nol be charged to us.
To the conduct of tbo conspirators it
adds aggravation, that these barbarities
are being enacted in Richmoud under the
immediate cognisance of tbe so-ealled
"Confederate" authorities. Did they oc
cur ia the wilds of Arkansas or Texas, or
among tha Sioax savage on tba Pembina,
tbey might challenge some degree of pal
liation. Bat when we call to mind that
the voluntary starvation of defenceless
men ia occurriog within tbe sound of tbe
voioet of Jefferson Davis, Benjamin, and
tbeir associates in crime, then does tbe
bogus Confederacy itself become responsi
ble for these atrocities, to God and man.
Then will impartial men, all the world
over (maugre all tbeir efforts to bewilder
tbe human mind by leading it into a lab
yrinth of doubt,) reach tb inevitable
cooclusion, that these men deserve the
corn of tb eit iliied world, sot to speak
of tb vengeance pf Heaven. Sorely,
surely, tbe terror of an incensed Omnipo
tence mast nltimately overtake tbem.
But, ean anything still be done for the
relief of onr returned Richmond prisoners J
In answer to this interrogatory, I reply,
tks, mush, very much. The Christian
and Saniuty Commission have already
accomplished wonder. Bat individuals
and ehurches can largely co-operata. Send
to the ear of Kev. Henry C. Henries,the
beloved Chaplain at Annapolis, Md.,
whatever etorea yon and your congregation
ean eommand. Send money, which ean
be used in accommodating the friend of
tba suffering men on their visit there.
8end flannel nnderolothing, (shirt and
: drawers,) woolen stockings, pocket band-
kerchiefs, bandages, &e. 8end fresh eggs,
poultry, &o. Send liquor and jellies, and
whatever else your discretion may suggest,
a needful for tbo sick. And may the God
j of all oomfort bleat and toward all who
do good to onr bravo and noble soldiers !
Very truly, your friend.
