TREATMENT OF UNION PRISuNEBM. A STATEMENT BY J. P. BENJAMIN, EX REBEL SECBETABY OF STATE. To the Editor of the London Times, Sir; 1 find on arrival in England that public attention is directed afresh to to the acou sation made by the Federal authorities that prisoners of war were cruelly treated by the Confederates, not merely in ex ceptional cases by subordinate officials, but systematioaily, and in conformity with a polioy deliberately adopted by President Davis, Gen. Lee and Mr. Sad don. Asa member of the Cabinet of President Davis from the date of his first inauguration under the Provisional Con stitution to the final overthrow of the Confederate Government by force of arms, as a personal friend whose relations with Jefferson Davis have been of tbe most intimate aud confidential nature, I feel it imperatively to be my duty to request your insertion of this letter in vindication of honorable men, who, leas fortunato than myself, are now held in close con finement by their enemies, and are una ble to utter an indignant word in self defence. Avery material fact in relation to this charge of cruelty was omitted in the re cent letter from your late “ Richmond Correspondent,” who was not prabably aware of it, but which I can attest from personal knowledge. During the difficul ties which prevented the exchange of prisoners of war, cases arose which ap pealed so strongly to humanity that it was impossible for the most obdurate to remain insensible. The Federal authorities, there fore, empowered Col. Mulford, their Com missioner of Exchange, to consent to a mutual delivery of such sick and disa bled prisoners as were incapable of performing military service. To this class was tbe exchange of prisoners rigor ously restricted. Col. Outd, the Confed erate Commissioner of Exchange, (who has recently been honorably acquitted by the Federals themselves of the same false charge of oruelfy to prisoners,) made to the President, to the Secretary of War, and to myself, repeated complaints that prisoners on both sides were frequently delivered in a condition so prostrate as to render death certain from exposure dur ing the transit between James River and Washington or Annapolis. Efforts ware made in vain to check this evil. In spite of surgeon's oertifioates that they were too ill for removal without imminent dan ger, siok men on both sides, wearied by long confinement, fearful that the ex change would again be interrupted, long ing tor the sight of home and friends, would either insist on their ability to en dure the journey, or professing that re covery was hopeless, would piteously im plore to be allowed to see their families before death. The lifeless bodies Os numbers of Confederates shipped from the North under these circumstances, were delivered to ns at City Point, and the like results attended the delivery from cur side. Rigid care was taken by the authorities of the United States to ex clude from the exohange all oases of slight illness, in accordance with their avowed policy of preventing onr armies from being recruited by returned prisoners, this be ing our only resource for filling oar thinned ranks, while they were able to procure unlimiied recruits from this side of the Atlantic. From the class just men tioned the most emaciated specimens were ohosen by our enemieß, and exhibit ed as conclusive evidence that we exercised habitual ornolty towards priaoners of war. The most wretched and desperate cases were even made the originals for “photo graphs which cannot lie,” and the revolt ing pictures of human infirmity thus pro cured were affixed as embellishments to sensational reports manipulated by Con gressional Committees and Sanitary Com missions. It is not my purpose to examine in de tail the question whether on us or on the Federals tbe responsibility of interrupting the exohange of priaoners, and thus pro ducing a mass of human misery and an guish of whioh few examples can be found in history. The published correspond ence of the Commissioners of Exchange and certain revelations made by Federal officials in public speeches and in news paper articles, will be sufficient to satisfy on this point the few who take the pains to ascertain the truth; but in response to the allegations imputed, in the latest news from Amerioa, to Qea. Hitchcock, that “for the delays in exchanging and the consequent sufferings of the prisoners, the fault rested entirely with the Confed COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4. 18G5. crates, “I would recall tbe following faots ; The first effort to establish a cartel of exchange was made by the Confederates when 1 was temporarily iu charge ol the War Office at Richmond, toward the oloso of the Provisional Government. Gan. Howell Cobb on our part, aud Gen Wool, on the part of the United Htates, agreed on a cartel whioh was submitted to their respective governments for approval. In my instructions to Gen. Cobb he was specially directed to propose that, alter exhausting exchanges, the party having surplus prieoners in possession, should allow them to go home on part le till the other belligerent should succeed iu oap turing an equivalent number for exchange When this proposal was made by us, we held a larger number of prisoners than were in the hands of tbe euemy it was accepted by General Wool, as one ol the terms of the cartel, but, unfor tunately, some successes of our one mies intervened befote ratification by their government. They obtained, in their turn, an excess of prisoners, and at once refused to ratify the cartel. In the ensuing year, while General Randolph was Secretary of War, the Confederates were a second time in pos session of au excess of prisoners, and suooeeded in negotiating a cartel under whioh they liberated many thousands ol prisoners on parjlo, without any present equivalent, thus securing in advance the liberation of -a like number of their own soldiers that might afterward fall into the enemy’s hands. This oarlel remained for many mouths in operation No check or difficulty occurred as long a9 wo made a majority of captures. In July, 1850, the fortune of war be came very ad verse to the Confederacy The battle of Gettysburg oheoked the ad vance of Gen. Lee on the Federal capital, while almost simultaneously the fall oi Vioksburg and Port Hudson gave to out enemies a large preponderance iu the number of prisoners. The authorities at Washington immediately issued getnral orders refusing to receive from Genera! Lee the prisoners held by him until they should be reduced to posses siou in Virginia, thus subjecting their owa men to the terrible etitferingß glanced at by Col Fremantle, in order to embarrass General Lae’s movements. They further refused to restore so us the excess of prisoners held by them, after having received for nearly or quite a year the benefit of the special provision of the cartel when it operated in their favor; and during the enure Bar they never ouoe consented to a delivery to us ol auy -pus oners in excess of the uumber for which we were prepared to return an immediate equivalent. It requires no ssgaoity to perceive that every motive of inteiest as well as of hu inanity operated to induce us to facilitate the exchange of prisoners, aud to submit even to unjust and uuequal terms iu order to recover soldiers whom we could re jtlttce from no other source .On the other hand, interaot aud humanity were at war in their influence on the Federal otfioials Others must judge of the humanity and justice of the policy which consigned hundreds of thousands of wretched men to captivity apparently hopeless, but I can testify unhesitatingly to its sagacity and efficacy, and to the pitiless sternness with which it was executed. Indeed the refu sal to exohange was one of tbe most lata) blows dealt us during the war, and cot}- tnbuted to our overthrow more, perhaps, than any other single measure. I write not to maka complaint of it, but simply to protest against the attempt of the Fedef als so to divide the oonsequenoea of their own oonduot as to throw on us the odium attached to cruelty plaipty injurious to us, obviously beneficial to themselves. The sense of duty whioh prompts this letter would be but imperfectly satisfied were I to withhold at this juncture tbe testimony which none so weil as myself can offer in relation lo the ohai ge of inhumanity made against President Davis. For the four years during which I have been one of his most trusted advisere, the recipient of his confidence, the sharer to the best of my abilities in his labors and responsibilities, 1 have learned to know him better, perhaps, than he is known by any other living man. Neith er in private conversation nor in the Cabinet council have I ever heard him utter an unworthy thought, one un generous sentiment. On repeated ooca sions when the savage atrocities of such men as Butler, Turchia, NoNeil and oth ers were the subject of anxious consider ation, and when it was urged upon Jeffer son Davis, not only by his iriends in private letters, but by members of his Cabinet in council, that it was his duty to the people and to the army to endeavor to repiass such outrages by retaliation, he was immovable in his resistance to such counsels, insisting that it was repugnant to every sentiment of justice end humani ty that the innocent should be made vic tims for the crimes of such monsters. Without betraying tho confidence of offi cial intercourse, it may be permitted me to say that when the notorious expedition of Dahlgren against the city of Riohmond had been defeated, and the leader killed in his flight, the papers found upon his body showed that he had been engaged in an attempt to assassinate the President and the heads of the Cabinet, to release the Federal prisoners confined in flioh mond, to set tire to the city, and to loose his men and the released prisoners os the helpless inhabitants The instructions to hia men had been elaborately prepared, and his designs eommnnioated (o them in an address ; the inoendiary materials for firing the town formed part of his equipment. The proof was complete and undeniable. In the action in which Dahlgren fell, some of hts men were taken prisoners. They were brought to Richmond, and public opinion, was unanimous that they were cot end tie to be considered as prisoners of war ; that they ought to be put on trial as brigands and assaasins, and executed as such if found guilty. lu Cabiuet Council the oonvictiou was expressed that these men had acquired no immunity from punishment for their crimes, if guilty, by the fact of their having been admitted to surrender by their captors, before knowl edge of their offences. A discussion ensued which became so heated a3 almost to create unfriendly feeling, by reason of the unshaken firmness of Mr. Davis m maintaining that although these men merited a refusal to grant them quar ters in the heat of battle, they had been received to mercy by their captors as prise nets of war, and as suoh were sacred; aud that we should be dishonored if barm should overtake them after their surren der, the aooeptanoe of which constituted, iu his judgment, a pledge that they should receive the treatment of prisoners of war. To Jefferson Davis alone, and to his con stancy of purpose, did those men o*6 their satety, in spite of hostile public opinion, and in opposition to two-thirds of the Cabinet. I forbear from further trespass on your space, although I am in possession of nu merous other faots bearing on the subject that oould not fail to interest all who are desirous of seeing justioe done to the illustrious mau of whose present oon4i tion I will not trust myself to speak. I remain, Sir, your ob’t. serv’t., J. P. Benjamin. KKJOINDEB BY COM. WISE. To the Editor of the London Times, In Mr. Benjamin’s attempted defence of the cruel and atrocious treatment us Fed eral prisoners, published iu the Times of to day, he has omitted to slate that for a long time the exchange ceased because tbe Confederates refused to comply with the cartel iu giving up captured negro sol diers as “man for man,” —a theory which the Federal Government, on the score of justice and humanity to the soldiers ol tbe Republic, refused to aooede to. But lot tliis pass, and to quote the words of Mr. Benjamin “without betraying the confidence of official intercourse,” per mit me to make a positive deuial of the charges he has revamped against young Got. Dahlgren, who fell iu mid night ambush near Richmond, brutally butchered, stripped not only of his cloth ing and his wooden leg, the memento from a bullet in battle, but bis finger bached off for the ring it held ! Yes, his own servant, who, in the early morning removed the naked, bloody,and uutillated remains from the roadside to the shade of a hedge, told me of these facts, and per haps Mr Berjatnin himself may have seen the carcass when it was publicly ex kibited in the shambles of Richmond be before being thrown, as the papers said. “ to a dungiieap for the dogs to feast up on, ” aud thus add his testimony to the story. But with reference to the papers found upon the body, can it be possible Mr. Benjamin is not aware that the document which it was presumed he had litho graphed in sac-simile and distributed abroad was a forgery, and so clumsily ’executed that it scarcely resembled the writing of Dahlgren, and even the s gas luro was mis spelt? This forgery was exposed with hitter indignation by Ad miral Dahlgren, the father of the dead Colonel, published far and wide in the United Btates, aud never, to my knowl edge, was the miserable, unmanly trick to uefame the reputation of a gallant of ficer even palliated by the press or people of Richmond. Tue object of Dahlgren’a expedition was iL-e release of our suffering soldiers from the dens of the Libby Prison, as he told me 0.4 parting, expecting and prepar ed to sacrifice youth, hopes and life in that noble attempt; and, no doubt, had he succeeded in reaching the ground for operations, he would have made his sabre felt as he had before in many a dashing charge on all who stood in his path, but not to “ assassinate the President and the heads of the Cabinet, ” as Mr. Benjamin assorts. No, such a thought never enter ed the brain or reached the true heart of that noble boy, ana Mr. Benjamin will have to produce more of his “ numerous tacts bearing on the eubjeot” before he can cite a similar case to that us Dahl gren, in justification of the cruelties per petrated upon Federal prisoners. I am, sir, your obedient serv’t, H. A. Wise, U. 8. N. London, September 11, Ucttcml Ntwii It is said the Fifth Avenue Hotel has cleared $175,009 during tho last twelve months. The work on the California end of the Pacific railroad is being pushed forward rapidly. The government sale of 4500 bales of upland cotton and 3500 bales of sea isl and, announced to take place in New York, Sept. 25, was postponed. There are between four and five thous and negroes congregated at Columbus, Ky., and they draw their rations regu larly from Uncle Sam. Powder dealers and manufacturers now claim that free trade with the South should be allowed them. The collector who has the matter in charge will soon decide. The regular army of the United States contains forty-three thousand of alt arms, and it is understood that General Grant favors an increase of forty regiments of the line. The friends of Mr. Singleton, formerly a member of the Confederate Oongrees from Mississippi, report him to have been specially pardoned by the President on Saturday. Rev. J. S Wilson, the stated clerk, has announced that the Synod of Georgia will meet in the Ueoture Room of tbe First Presbyterian Church, city of Augusta, on Wednesday before the fourth Sabbath of October, at o’clock P. M, The New Orleans Picayune says General Beauregard “is now a sedate, quiet citi zen a«J civilian iu his native city, who has no idea of leaving bis uountry, and will remain here to meet all the responsi bilities and discharge all the duties of a citizen.” A witness who testified recently before (he military commission at Bt. Louis, now trying the steamboat burners, stated that he went to Riohmond with two of the guilty parties, and bad an interview with Beddon, Benjamin and Davis, and that Benjamin paid bis companions $50,000 in gold for burning steamboats at St Louis, and the medical depot at Louisville. The new ten oent fractional currency is circulating. The pieces are a little larger than the old tens, and shorter than tbe iwenty-five cent slips. Upon tbe face is a medallion head of Washington, with a factory chimney, and a ship’s rigging on either side, and a figure ten, in gilt, in four places; the back is of a red color, and the figure ten in large gilt They are printed on bank note paper, and promise to be more durable than the present currency.
