nfining Union captives, to George W. Randolph, then Secretary of War, in which report it was said that the state of things was terrible beyond description; that the committee could not stay in the room over a few seconds ; that a change must be made, and that the committee makes the report to the Secretary of War, and not to the House, because in the latter case, it would be printed, and, for the honor of the nation, such things must be kept secret. He might have known that, on the ninth of December, 1863, Henry S. Foote offered a resolution in the Confederate House of Representatives, for the appointment. of a committee of inquiry concerning the alleged ill-treatment of Union prisoners, and that in the course of his remarks, he admitted the charges to be true, by saying, alluding to Commissary-General Northrup: This man has placed our Government in the attitude charged by the enemy, and has attempted to starve the prisoners in our hands! Foote then read testimony which, he said, wa

General P. R. Cleburne's report of battle of Ringgold Gap. Headquarters Cleburne's division, Tunnell Hill, Ga., Dec. 9, 1863. Colonel,--On the retreat of the Army of Tennessee, from Missionary Ridge, Tennessee, to Ringgold, Ga., my division covered the retreat of Hardee's corps, arriving safely on the west bank of the East Chicamauga river at 10 o'clock, P. M., on the 26th November. At this point the river had to be forded. It was nearly waist deep and the night was freezing cold. I therefore determined to postpone crossing until the morning, and bivouaced on the hills near by. At 3 o'clock, A. M., on the 29th, I received the following order, viz: General,--The general desires that you will take strong position in the gorge of the mountain and attempt to check pursuit of enemy. He must be punished until our trains and the rear of our troops get well advanced. The reports from the rear are meagre, and the general is not thoroughly advised of the state of thin

I permitted the masters and crews of both these ships to hoist out, and provision their own boats, and depart in them for Singapore. The ships when overhauled were lying just inside of the light-ship, at the western entrance of the Strait of Malacca, and it was only pleasant lake or river sailing to Singapore. Having fired the ships, we steamed out past the lightship, and were once more in the Indian Ocean. We found on board one of the prizes a copy of the Singapore Times, of the 9th of December, 1863, from which I give the following extract. At the date of the paper, we were at Pulo Condore, and the Yankee ships were still flocking into Singapore:— From our to-day's shipping-list it will be seen that there are no fewer than seventeen American merchantmen at present in our harbor, and that they include some of the largest ships at present riding there. Their gross tonnage may be roughly set down at 12,000 tons. Some of these have been lying here now for upward of three month
