At a mass meeting hold September 28th, 1864, by the Federal prisoners confioed at Savannah,Georgia, it was Unanimously agreed that the following resolutions be sent to the President of that United States, in the hope that he might thereby take such steps ns in his wisdom Le might tbir.k neces sary for our speedy exchange or parole. Resolved, That whi e we would declare our unbounded love for the Union, for the homo of our lathers, uud for the graves of those we venerate, wo would beg most respectfully that our situation as prisoners be diligently enquired into, and every obstacle consistent with the honor and dignity of the Govern ment at once removed. Resolv and, That whilst allowing the Confede rate authorities ufi due praise for the atten tion paid to.prisoners, numbers of our men are daily consigned to early graves, in the prime of manhood, far from home and kin dred, nnd this is not caused intentionally by the Confederate Government; put bv the fnreo of circumstance, the prisoner is obiiged to go without shelter, and iu a great portion of ca ses, without medicine. Resolv'd, That whereas, ten thousand of out brave comrades Lave descended to au untimely grave within the last six months, and as we believe their death was caused by the difference of clin.ate the pecu liar kind vud insufficiency of food, and lack ot proper medical treatment; and whereas, those difficulties still remain, we vfould de clare, as our firm belief, that unless wo are speedily exchanged, we have no other alterna tiv* but to share the lamentable fate of our comrades. Must this thing still go on ? Is there re hope ? Resolved, That whereas the coldjand incle tnent season of the year is fast approaching, we bold it to be our duty as soldiers and citi r.ens of the United States to inform onr Go vernment that tho majority of the prisoners arc without proper clothing, in some cases being almost naked, add are without blankets to protect us- from tho scorching sun by day,' or the heavy dews by night, and we would most respectfully request the Government to make some arrangements whereby we tnn be supplieff with those to us necessary articles. Resolved, That whereas the term of service of many of our comrades having expired, they having served truly and faithfully for the terms ot their several enlistments, would m >«t respectfully ask of their Government, are they to be forgotten? are past .-'ertlceS to be ignored? Not having seen their wives and little ones for over three years, they would in'*st respectfully but firmly request tho Gov ernment to make some arrangements where by they can be exchanged or paroled. Resolved, That whereas, in the fortune of war, it was our lot to become prisoners, we have suffered patiently, and are still willing to suffer, if by so doing, we can benefit the country, but we would most respectfully beg to say that we arc not willing to suffer to further the ends of any party or clique to the detriment of our own honor, our families and oir country; and we would beg that this affair be explained to us, that we may con tinue to hold the Government in that respect which is necessary to make a good citizen and soldier.

Mhriuam's SrjiMarise Vissiv —A corres-* ponde.nt who has just been down in the sub marine vessel recently invented and manu factured in this city, by ti. S. Merriam, and just tested by himself and the government," near New York, Sends us the following ac count of bis experience : Entering the singular vessel from the top, the door was closed and the prder, “Men to your places,” given to the little crew, who promptly obeyed. When everything was ready, Mr. Merriam turned some valves and the compressed air came hissing in, produ cing a very unpleasant sensation upon the drum of the ears, >»f which one was at once relieved by inspiring and swallowing. The vessel seemed perfectly under control, for we stopped when half way down to the bottom, and raised the door on the bottom of the boat, but the air inside of course prevented any wateri'from coming in, not even enough to wet the soles of our feet. One of the crew from your city improved this opportunity to dive out and come upon the surface of tb<i water, much to the astonishment of the spec tators. He afterwards returned, entering the vessel from the bottom, when the door was closed, and another rush of compressed air came in, and we were on the bed of the river, twenty odd feet under water, this distance' requiring an additional pressure to resist the water with the door open. We could stand on the bottom of the river and not wet our feet, and at that distance under the water could easily see to read by the light that came in at the glass window. Bells ringing outside were also beard distinctly. To re turn to the rest of the world only * few strokes of the pump are necessary; the air rushed out of the bottom, and the float was quickly on the surface of the water. "We moved with a propeller easily under as well as upon the water, and in all respects the vessel worked so completely that its success js undoubted. —Springfield Republican.
