on the subject, the Executive Department provided such prisoners as fell into their hands, with proper quarters and barracks to shelter them, and with rations the same in quantity and quality as those furnished to the Confederate soldiers who guarded these prisoners. They also showed an earnest wish to mitigate the sad condition of prisoners of war, by a system of fair and prompt exchange-and the Confederate Congress co-operated in these humane views. By their act, approved on the 21st day of May, 1861, they provided that all prisoners of war taken, whether on land or at sea, during the pending hostilities with the United States, shall be transferred by the captors from time to time, and as often as convenient, to the Department of War; and it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War, with the approval of the President, to issue such instructions to the Quartermaster-General and his subordinates, as shall provide for the safe custody and sustenance of prisoners of war; and the rati

generously that one with Seward's large and varied powers could, if kept under proper control and oversight, be made very useful to the country; and Seward continued to hold his place securely. The secret of the correspondence was well kept, not being revealed during the lifetime of the parties to it. Mr. Lincoln intervened at times to amend by interlineations and erasures the official papers of the Secretary of State, often crude and extravagant,—notably one of the earliest, that of May 21, 1861, to Adams, portions of which, written it is said under irritation, were phrased with an exasperating bluntness, and certain directions were lacking in diplomatic prudence. Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln, vol. IV. pp. 269-277, Sumner was in Washington when this despatch was under consideration, and it is likely that the President advised with him concerning its modification. There was unfortunately in the critical period of 1861-1862 a conviction prevailing in England that Seward

ing through the kingdom, made English capital almost a unit against our cause. 3. The Morrill tariff act of 1861 was a fresh grievance. Lord Russell, in his first interview with Mr. Adams, May 18, 1861, touched upon the high protective tariff recently enacted; and Mr. Adams assured him that it was intended rather for revenue than for protection, and that if it failed in bringing revenue it would not be maintained for the sake of monopoly and restriction. Lord Russell to Lord Lyons, May 21, 1861. 4. The contest on the part of the South was assumed to be one of State rights, and therefore justified by the example of the colonies in our Revolution. 5. The declarations of our government at the beginning of the war of its purpose not to interfere with slavery, announced by Congress, by the President, and by Mr. Seward in his despatches, promoted the idea that the contest was purely one for the unity of the government, and repelled the active support of liberal minds. While so
