Having few leisure moments, I will
try and give your readers a (.hort descrip
tion of what 1 saw at Annapolis Hospitals,
where our paroled prisoners are. I think
if some of our Ilcbel sympathizers could
but see tbcm, and bear tbeir stories, it
would do them some good. The looks of
our men just exchanged from Southern
prisons can not be described by the pen.
Tbey do not seem like Americans they
bavo dark, yellow lork. I talked with
many of them tbey all tell the same
etory. They bad no covering of any kind.
They drow an ounce of meat, and a piece
of com chopped bread as large as two
fingers, per day. Tbey say tbat during
the summer months they died at tbe rato
of 100 per day. O.i Tue?djy tbe O h inst.
there were 47 funerals at Annapolis on .
tbe morning of tbe 7ih, there were l'J in j
tbe dead house all, onr returned soldiers.
I visited tbe Hospitals that contained i
them : every attention is given to make
them comfortable : but such eights 1 hope
I may never see again !
John ISaiikus, of tbe 1? 1th, died a short
timo beforo I arrived : bis last words were,
"Could I only see my poor old mother!''
Mr. Ii lack born, of the ll'h, saw John
C- Schnure, of tbe same Reg , about the

unanimity is attainable unless some defer

jirity, simply because it is the will of the
majority,
In this ease, tho common end is the
maintainence of the Uoion, and among
tbe meaos to secure tbat end, such will,
through the election, is most clearly de
clared io favor of 6uch a constitutional
amendment. The most reliable indication
of public purpose io this country, ia de

ing Ly tbo recent canvass and its results,
the purpose of tho people within the loyal
Slates to maintain tbe integrity of the
Uoion, was never more firm, nor more
nearly unanimous tban now. The extra
ordinary calmness and good order witb
which tbe millions of voters mingled at
the polls, gave strong assurance of this.

tbe fair opportunity of showing one to

public purpose to re-establish aud
ueuce acceesiDie, it seems to me tnai no
attempt at negotiation with the insurgent
leader could result in any good, lie
' would accept nothing short of severance
of tbe Union : precisely what wc will not
and can not give. His declarations to
this effect are explicit and oft-repeated.
He does not attempt to deceive ns. Ho
affords us no excuse to deceive ourselves.
He can not voluntarily re-accept the
Union. We can not voluntarilv vield it.
Bctwcen bim and us, the issue is dis-
tioct, simple and inflcxiblo. It is an issue
which can only be tried by war, and deci
ded bv victory. If we yield, we are
j beaten. If the Southern people fail him,
he is beaten. Either way, it would be
tho victory and defeat following war.
What is true, however, of him wbo beads
tbo insurgent cause, is not necessarily true
of tboso who follow. Although he ean
not re accept tbe L'uion, they can.
Some of them, we know, already desire
peace and reunion. Tbo number of such
may inereaso. They can at any moment
have peace, simply by laying down their
arms and submitting to the national ,
authority under tbe Constitution. After'
so much, tbe Government could not, if it !
would, maintain war against them The j
loyal people would not sustain or allow it.
li questions snoum remain, we wouia sujusi
them by ihe peaceful means of legislation,
conferences, courts and votes operating
only in constitutional and lawful ehannels.
Somo ecrtain and other possible ques
tions are and would be beyond tbe execu
tive power to adjust, as, for instance, tbe
admission of members into Congress, and
whatever might require tbe appropriation
of money.
The Exeoutivo power itself would be
treat!? diminished br the cessation of
actual war. Pardons and remissions of
forfeitures, however, would still be within
tbe Executive control. In what spirit
and temper this control would be exereiaed,
can be fairly judged of by the past A
year ago, a geoeral pardon and amnesty,
npon specified terms, were offered to all
except certain designated classes, and it
was at the same time made known that
tbe excepted classes were still within con
templation of special clemency. During
tbe year, many availed themselves of the
general provision, and many more would,
only that tbe sign of bad faith in some
led to such precautionary measures as
rendered tba practical process less easy
aod certain. During the same time, also,
special pardons bave been granted to
individuals of tha excepted classes, aod
di voluntary application bas been denied.
Thus, jiuctiaaliy the dour bas been for a
full year open to all, escept such as were
not in condition to make free choice that
is, such as were in custody, or under eon
straict. It is still so open to all. Hut
the time may come, probably will eouie,
when public duty shall demand that it be
closed, and tbat in lieu more vigorous
measures tban heretofore shall be adapted.
In presenting tbe abandonment of arm
ed resistance to tbe National authority on
the part of the insurgents, as tbe only in
dispensable condition to ending Ibe war
on Ibe part of the Government, I retract
nothing heretofore said as to slavery. I
repeat the declaration made year ago,
that, while I remain in my present position,
I shall not attempt to retract or modify ;
. the Emancipation Proclamation, nor shall
1 return to slavery any person wbo is free
ly Ibe terms of that proclamation or by
any of Ihe acts of Congress.
If tbe people should, by whatever modo
or means, make it an Executive duty t
re-enslave such persons, another, and not
I, must be tbeir instrument to perform it.
In fating a single condition of peace,
mean simply to ay tbat the war will cease
j 011 the part of tho Goverumeut whenever
. it shall hav.- ceased 00 the part of those
i wbo began it.
