Whenever a southern congressman rises in his seat to speak in behalf of his constituents, the cry of rebel brigadier is raised, and when a street fight occurs in Vicksburg or New Orleans, there is a cry of barbarities, and an echo of Andersonville.

While the northern officer in the Richmond prison had his baker's bread three times a day, and his meat twice a day, the Confederate sentinel had only his corn cake and molasses, varied by a little meat occasionally.
