Tbe place is not so much s prison as It is a
Momewbat “exclusive” boarding house, with suf
ficiently stringant mien for t tlm eighty or leas
boarder? in tbe ctabliahmenr. These rules are
eonapicuonaly placed en the walla of each room,
so (but be who runs muy read, and
for reading are somewhat In advance of those
fur running. They prescribe that the prisoners
reoiu must he ready for Inspection at nine
o'eluck in the morning; thnt washin;* must be
done in the yard of the fort; prixoners muat not

and they are notified that any t'anagrexaion will

There i nothing specially stringent about the**
rule?. The primmer* must and moat nut (ioeer

convene freely with each other, but they are no

thoio are tm lom than thirty “f the bolter elias

! These Imve clubbed together, and have arrange
ment* bv which their meals arc furnished to

I ot the soldiers does thoir - ateriug, cooking and
wishing. To meet outside bills for food, sup
phe-, now?]>apr*, tobacco and other comfort?,!
1 tho prisoners give mi order i<n the bursar. The :
dub men got n good breakfast and dinner,(with
a moderato” ailewßtico at dinnerj!ef Some *Mu
ulaut,) at a cost of about ono dollar r day for
curb. They are subject to no extortion of any
kind, and supplies are furnished at moderate
rat ox.
In the morning, when tho Coney island boat
or first tram, from Brooklyn, arrives at Fort
Hamilton, tho prisoners who have made ar
rangement* can get all tboclty morning ptipeix,
and are thus dadv Informed of all'uirs In the
outside yforld. Ther correspondence only is
subject to censorship, and, n already been
stated, letters written to or By the prisoners
arc opened itndrcadbv the proper officers, aud
the few persons who have been released from
custody have been forbidden to carry nway
any written communication.
The club men live well. They puts thou
time in reading, discussing (among them
solves) matters nnd things iii general and
“the situation ‘ in particular, and play cards,
chess uud checkers by the hour. Tobacco is
not tabooed, nnd the club, for u largo part of
the day. is under tt cloud in more aense? than
one.
Similar hut finnllnr clubs have boon organi
sed m some of the other room*. There urea
tew prisoners, come of the sudors and other*,
who iiaVA no money, and arc consequently do
pendent upon tho authorities for their daiiy
bread. These arc furnished with good and
wholenoim*, but plain food, differing but little
from the rations w the aoldiers who are their
keepers. All have an unlimited lookout view
oftb* bay nnd fttateu Island shore Thepasa- j
lug ships and steamers break the monotony of J
nu otherwise weary day. The three daily j
trips ot the Coney Island boats, arc looked for
events.
There can be one opinion only nftlie con
duct ut Col. Burke and his oiticerx nnd men
towards the prisoners in their charge. The
prisoners are allowed every privilege con
sistent with their aula keeping, ami have no
reasonable caune for complaint. The loss of
liberty is, of course, the main privation, but
those prisoners who have been discharged,
testily that, fto fur from the imposition ol any
nu necessary restrictions, they were more in
voured during ihmr incarceration than they
had nny reason to expect when thev were
sent to Tort I.ufayttle.
