utherners Treat prisoners of war. --As much has been published in the Northern papers relative to the treatment received by the crew of the Star of the West, which is calculated to give a wrong impression, we copy the following statement from one of the crew to the New York Daily News: The account recently published in the papers of the capture of the Star of the West was correct, with the exception of the name of the Captain — the true name is Captain Hawes. We were taken to Galveston, Texas; from there to New Orleans, and here thirty-six men of the crew were taken off at Algiers, and carried on a ferry boat to New Orleans; thence by railroad to Lake Ponchartrain; thence by first class steamboat Southern Republic to Montgomery, Ala.

During the whole time we met with no injury whatever, but were kindly treated in every way, shape and manner. At Mobile, we were asked by the Captain whether any of us wished to join the Southern Navy, in which case they would be sent to New Orleans free, which offer none of us accepted, but departed for home in peace. One of the two negroes belonging to our crew, and whose name is Waiter Murray, confessed to his being a runaway slave and belonging to a man in Baltimore. They were both detained at Montgomery, but I have no further knowledge of them. I would also state that we were under no military escort from the time we left Lake Ponchartrain until we departed from Mobile for home. The very kind treatment of Capt.
