A Yaxkxb Account or Tar TruuTKxrr or
Confederate F?503fx?i,-.Tbe Chicago Tim**,
give the account which follow* of the treatment
of our soldiers at Camp Douglas* We give the
paragraph in foU : * ' ~ *
Reports have been circulated round the city
daring the past few days to % effect that tho
prisoner* in Camp Douglas were being shot
mm, a mmamaiml iv*. *).?

soldier* of the gnard, without real cause. It
was not for some txpt possible to trace these
rumor* to any reliable murcc or to ascertain
the exact extent to which these abases bare
hctn carried. A little inquiry has. however,
developed the fact that, whether the reports be
true or not, there k at least very strong reason
to believe them so.
' It k said that Col D. Land km imced orders
that if anjr prisoners shall fail to. comply instant**
with my requirement of a soldier belonging
to the guard he j&ail bo shot down.
Tim regulation may be necessary enough in Ha
strict accctgatton as requiring obedience to or
den of a dwdpfiaatj; character, bat k exceedingly
ii&ble to abuse when the guMrdwg soldier
a made the judge of what constitute* an act
of inaotordi nation, acd ? permitted lo rareage
nofc-compfiaece with commands emaiuti rig from
himself ami not from Urn bilker in command.
It is charged that the aboac of Urn power has
not beea Btjfrc^&enU ^ It & said, for instance,
that a boat four weeks ago one of the prisoner*
was kindling hk 5re, which act be had a right
to perform, when one of the guard accosted
him w;th, "Here, what are jroa doing there V
The praooer replied, *Tbat a cot yoor bed- .
ne#s when the guard instantly drew bis musket
and shot the fellow dead, It k said also
thai a mulatto boy, a servant of one of the
Confederate captains add, of cotme, a prisoner
* * 41 LJ. I _
ef war, wno was wtu Known so nare a paea w
go anrwhcre within tbe lines, *&$ walking inside
the guard limit* about a day after the
above occurrence, when the guard commanded
htm to halt He did not stop, and was iastaniIjT
kHicd bj a bullet
ft fe aho charged that, at the time the discovery
was made of an attempt on the part of
aorne of the pmoncri to escape, a party of three
or four hundred was huddled together and sur~
founded by a guard; that one of them waa
pushed by a comrade and fell to the ground,,
and that instantly the unfortunate man was
shot, and that throe or foot other* were wounded.
It is further stated that it is no uncommon
tht&g for a soldier to firs oa the barrack*
without any provocation whatever, and that
two men were thus shot while sleeping in their
bonks a week or two ago, bo inquiry being
made into the matter. No court martial has
been held, no arrest has been made, though
within the past month ten or twelve of the
psisonm have been thus put out of the way.
Another instance need only be given : Ooo
of the prisoners asked the ffcanl for a chew of
tobacco, and he received the bayonet in his
bre**l without a word.
If the above report* are true, a reform might
be i?*UuUj instituted. And if thej ire untrue
then Use public will be pleased to be informed
of thai &cb It M difficult to believe
them otherwise than untrue; jet, if the charge*
hall be sateuotiated, the very occurrences
specified above, shocking and shameful as thej
mar be, trill nevertheless he not a whit tno?e
disgraceful to the American people than maoj
other cruel and atrocious deeds exacted daring
this unhappy war by the armies of both section*.
Tn* Nkxt Smuto.?The Yankee journals
thut tbcy will give the rebels a final
quietus in the spring. Their preparations arc
so be on ft gigantic *e*Ie. They proclaim that
they ?re piling op sum* and other accessaries
lor Grsnt a arrov aluK*t an high m Lookout
Mountain. Goliath, of Galb, was not more
confident of smashing to atoms the roddy
stripling that disputed b? progress than the
Wk*r* of Grant are of his annibiialinz the re
"" " ?.*
bcllion in the spring campaign.
We are not dispoe&l lo underrate the magnitude
of the solemn crisis which a at band.?
A coloawtl danger threatens bat we mast
meet it like men. We must emulate the Yankees
in the foresight* the calculation, the system,
the untiring labor of preparation for the
decisive hour, if we do Info, if we leave nothing
to chance, if wc are as circumspect and
prudent a* we are brave and determined, then,
with the blessing of God, the huge straggle of
next spring mil break the backbone of this war
and inflict a fatal paralysis upon the energies
of t{ie United States. We look forward with
hope, w ith confidence, with a firm belief that
every man in the Corifedraey frill gird up bit
bins for one ^rand and crowning effort for Ufe
salvation of his cou & try.?Richmond Dispatch.
