FROM
OF SURGEONS
RICHMOND.
Interesting Sarrallvc of their Experl.
ences Short Rat ions Their money
Taken Away from Them Belle Iale
Prisoners Starving.
From th Washington Chronicle, 27th ult.
Last evening we paid a visit, at the
Metropolitan Hotnl, to Surgeon A. W.
Vbitner, of the 13th MassachnsPtis, and
V. Ketcltltm. of the 8 rl New Vnrlr
giments, who arrived in thin city yes-
Richmond, via of City Point, and from
them obtained the highly interestinf; ac
count we give on the condition of affairs
at the seat of the Rebel Government.
Drs. Whitney and Ketchum we.-a cap
tured by the rebels at the Fitzhugh Hos
pital, Falmouth, on the loth of June. At
that time there were some fifty patients
at this hospital. One of these men had
his leg amputated by Dr. Shippcn, of
Philadelphia, and lay in a very critical
condition, but neither the entreaties of
the Surgeons or of the men themselves
could induce the rebels to leave them be
hind. This man was returned from Rich
mond a week after his capture, and,
strange to say,t notwithstanding the fa
tigue and hardship undergone by him in
being convoyed to Richmond, he has
entirely recovered from the effects of the
operation, and is now well and hearty.
After the party arrived at Richmond,
occurring at half-past 10 o'clock in tire
morning, fhey were obliged to stand in
the streets three hours,, exposed, as Dr.
Whitney says, to one of the most scorch
ing suns be ever stood under. The sick
and wounded were then conveyed to
Libby Prison in carts, jolting and jost
ling them in a fearful manner. Dr.
Whitney remonstrated against the inhu
manity of the act, and for this he was
arrested by a man calling himself the
Chief of Police, and taken before the
Provost Marshal, Mr. John Griswold, of
Baltimore. Here the Major wa3 strip
ped of his money, $360, and of his sword
and sash. He was then sent to the Libby
Prison, in command of Capt. Turner.
The Doctor was told when his money
was taken from him, that when he left
the prison his money would be returned
to him in kind. The fulfillment of this
promise is yet to be realized by the Doc
tor. The room in which the surgeon was
confined, (the room allotted to officers),
was in the third story of the building.
This room already contained some two
hundred. It was 1(H) feet in length and
4' feet in width by measurement. This
room was in charge of Col. .Straight It
is described by the surgeon to be in a very
cleanly condition when he first entered
it, bnt this was owing to the attention of
the officers, from whom a detail was ap
pointed every day to keep it in order. If
the cleanliness of the room did not meet
with the approbation of the inspector,
the officers were punished, by depriving
them of some article of fold.
Here the 'meals of the officers were
cooked, one stove being allowed for the
entire number. There were bunks in it,
built of bare wood, for only one-half of
the inmates. The remainder were
obliged to lay upon the floor. One blan
ket was allowed to each officer, that is if
any were brought by them to the prison.
More than this number fell into the hands
of the rebel authorities. Those who
were so unfortunate as to come unpro
vided, were obliged to make out the best
way they could.
The Surgeon states that the out house
provided for the use of the officers di
rectly communicated with the room they
occupied, and the condition of it (a room
only eight feet square) was of the most
disgusting and filthy character. The
water furnished them was the muddy
water of the James river, and the supply
at all times was most deficient, so much
so, that it was difficult to procure enough j
for eoolcing and drinkinfi purposes, let
alone that needed for the cleanliness of I
their persons.
When these Surgeons entered the pris
OR their rations consisted of one pound
q beef a day (bones and all) and sixteen
ounces of bread. The beef they were 1
obliged to cook themselves. Ten stoves I
were allowed for some three hundred !
and fifty men, one hundred and fifty of
them in the story over where the officers
wete confined.
In thejmatter of rations, the surgeons
both state that the prisoners began to no
tice a deficiency after the middle of the
last month. Then the article of fresh
beef
was missing, making its appearance
only about once every four davs. One
pound of corn bread was furnished them
eacii uav, wiui nit; usu-.ii iiL-coiiiuuiuuieiiL
j of one sweet potatoe. They were treat-
ed with the greatest contempt on every
occasion dogs could hardly be treated
worse.
From the hearsay of these gentlemen,
they suppose that about ten thousand
prisoners are yet confined at Richmond,
some 6.300 of them at Belle Island
! The treatment nf the nn'snnerfi or Relle
I , . , . , P" - , .
Island is described to be of the most in
, .human character.
In regard to the rations sent by the I reports of two guns. Both fell Mr.
Government to our prisoners there, these j peres pierced to the heart, and his com
gentlemen state that the Rebel Govern- j pani0n severely, though not mortally
ment refused them; but the clothing was wounded.
allowed to be distributed under the su-
perintendence of Gen. Neal Dow; but
this gentleman was suddenly removed
from his position, and Capt Forbes, of
Gen. Bayard s cavalry, appointed in his
stead. Our men are stated to be nearly
naked, and confined in shedding in
which it is impossible to protect them
from the weather.
These gentlemen left Richmond on the
24 h ult., and, as we have stated before,
arrived here yesterday morning. They
were accompanied to City Point by Com-
missioner Ould, and delivered to our au-
; thorities on board the convoys at the
point named.

EVaNSVILLE, IND., MONDAY, DECEMBER 7. 1863.
: was taken prisoner at Morris Island on
the lth of July, while attending to our
wounded on ti c battlefield.
He was taken to Charleston and placed
in the prisoners' hospital. He found a ,
j Union man on guard, who freely tender- :
J ed him pecuniary aid. After twenty- ;
; fj'.nr Knnrc' rccilnnciQ tKopa ha too n .n
moved to Columbia, where he was con-
nnea tnree months, ine rations were i
sumctent. He had to fetch water from
the city daily, and met with many Union ;
men. There were also many ladies of
Union sentiments. The men who were i
conscripted were of all classes, from six- !
teen to sixty, and their appearance was
most forlorn. Exchanged, he returned
by way of .Wilmington, N. C. Arriving
at the Libby prison on the morning of
November 14, he found one thou-an 3 offi
cers confined in seven rooms, 40 feet bv
100 feet each, without blankets or bed-
ding, left to shift for
thev might
themselves as best j
There were no fires in the building,
and half the windows were without glass.
The best rations they ever had consisted
of three-quarters of a pound of wheat
bread, one-fourth of a ponnd of fresh
beef, and two ounces of rice. Subse-
wheat bread, and quite often they had
no rice or beef, and but two or three very
j small sweet potatoes, fror several days,
i during the last few weeks of his impris-
on merit, they received nothing but three
fourths of a pound of corn bread in
i twenty-four hours.
The men confined at Belle Island were
brought over to the Libby prison abso
! lutely starving, and others, as they pass
ed on their way to receive some food,
would seize any scraps thrown out to
them like so many starved wolves. Just
before Dr. Luck left, they had received
rations from the- Federal Government
Dr. Luck remained two weeks in the
Libby Prison. The Confederate authori
t es t ok all the money from the prise n irs
and allowed them small amounts at a
time. The payments to them were al
ways made in Confederate money. They
were assured, however, that the balance
of their money would be sent after them.
A- Horrible Picture More Starved
I n ion Prisoners.
On the 18th ult 360 more of starved
prisoners reached Annapolis, Md. Dur
ing the five following days 27 died.
They all agree as to the horrors of that
infernal den in Richmond. It was
thought that none of the 360 men would
ever fully recover. One of the men be
longing to Kentucky weighed 170 lbs.,
when in health, but now weighs but 60
lbs., and was still alive. They say that
the articles sent to them from the North
are, aB far as they know, delivered, but
soon they are all stolen from them.
Home of the poor fellows are so far gone
that even a spoonful of oyster soup will
not remain on their stomachs. The
Philadelphia Press, of the 24th, contin
ues: On last Saturday week there were 6,
300 of starving men, from almost every
State in the Union, on Bell Island, in an
'inclosure containing not more than three
acres, or in other words there are about
2,000 men to the acre. Many of them
are half nude, with no covering to shield
them from the cold wind, mists or rain.
If they find room to lie down, it must be
in the mud. Most of the water which
they get to drink, is obtained from small
holes which they dig with their hands in
the mud. The water settles in these
holes, and though it is not fit for n beast
to drink, yet these martyrs to their coun
try swallow it at times greedily.
The prisoners are put on half rations,
being a bucket of soup every threo days,
made of old beans with the hulls on, the
meat being full of worms. Beside this
horrible treatment, there is much bru
tality visited upon tbem. Even at the
Libby Prison a soldier fainted from star
vation, and, falling against a window,
his arm passed through. A brutal sen
tinel shot the arm, and the already atten
uated limb was amputated by a person
calling himself a surgeon.
Of the prisoners who arrived on the
18th, there is one who once was a fine
specimen of humanity, who had many
good and charitable deeds. He was well
educated, intelligent and influential.
Now he is a moving corpse, his eyes far
gone in the sockets, the balls entirely
dead, yet he retains his senses. Other
poor fellows are crazy, and those who
have slightly recovered their appetite are
ravenous taeir wild ravincrs are so b,d-
their wild
palling as to make the stoutest hearts
shudder
But it is useless to enlarge upon the
picture. The hard-hearted, brutal per
petrators of this unparalleled cruelty
may tremble when they think that God
is just. They say the Yankees made
snch a fuss about the condition of the
180 men exchanged in October, that the
above 3G0 were the best they could select
from the number on Belle Island.
The Memphis Argu of the 24th,
says:
"Two citizens of Memphis H. L.
Peres, brother of the minister of that
name, and Mr. Wolf, his brother-in-law
went to the mouth of White River, to
pnrchase cotton, and stopped witn a
; n antpr there. At a verv late hour in
! the night a band of guerrillas came to
i tne house, seized them, robbed them of
their money, burned their cotton, and
took them into the forest, about four
miles distant, where they were told they
must die.
" They plead for their lives, but their
prayers were of no avail to the demons
surrounding them. Both sank to their
knees, imploring their captors to spare
i their lives. Their answer came in the
I " After the shots were fired, the mur-1
derers stood near for a few moments, and j
preparatory to leaving, made an exami- I
nation of both Peres and Wolf, who lay I
stretched on the ground. Satisfied that
the former was dead, they left him; but, '
i ascertaining that the other still lived, or- j
jered another shot to be fired. The order
was obeyed, and another ball entered the ,
i poor man's body ; fortunately, however, .
j missing a vital portion. Finding that
Wolf was not dead, he was shot again, I
j hut not fatally. I
"After suffering, indescribable agenies
, thiough the night, but in the morning, by j
crawling and walking by turns, he reach-
- eci a nut,wnere ne was taicencareot tin ne
and the corpse of his brother-in-law were
taken on board a boat for Memphis. The
recovery of Wolf is doubtful
