THE UNION CAPTIVES

Additional Names of the Marytyred Dead

The Victims at Andersonville and Florence

A Dismal Record of the Eighty-fifth New-York

Calm Protest of the Officers Penned at Columbus, S.C.

A FRIGHTFUL BILL OF GRIEVANCES

A Heavy Blow at Gen. Hardee with a Gloved Hand

We will transcribe the first three columns in their entirety:

We give below the concluding portion of a long list of names (furnished recently by our correspondent who accompanied the exchange fleet to Savannah and Charleston,) of Union soldiers who have died under the terrible hardships of their treatment in the Southern prison pens. It is a dismal record. For its entire correctness our correspondent makes no claim, as it was mainly copied from small detached slips and fragments of dingy paper, each containing a single name-the writing upon which was often nearly illegible, requiring in its slow deciphering a great expenditure of patience. Many of the names therefore are doubltless misspelled. Long as the lists of the dead have been which we have published from time to time, it is sad to reflect that they comprise but a tithe of the victims, and thousands upon thousands of our brave soldiers have been buried like dogs in unmarked graves. As nearly as can be ascertained the rebel prison authorities, generally speaking, were not themselves humane enough to have the deaths among our prisoners recorded, neither were they liberal enough to supply the cheap favor of a sufficient quantity of writing paper to the hospital attendants selected from our own

Men, that this last simple duty toward the dead might be properly performed. Imperfect, however, as this list is, we are sure that it will be eagerly scanned by thousands of our readers, to many of whom it will probably convey the first information of the fate of a dear relative or friend.

We also publish the copy of a document which was drawn up by the Union officers confined at Columbia, detailing their grievances and asking redress at the hands of the rebel Gen. Hardee, commanding the Department of Georgia and South Carolina. Col. John Fraser, of the One Hundred and Fortieth Pennsylvania Regiment, formerly professor of Mathematics and Astronomy in Jefferson College, Penn., is said to have been the author of this calm, straightforward statement of facts, which administers a cutting blow to Gen. Hardee, under the guise of a neat compliment. It was well known among the prisoners that Hardee was fully cognizant of their distress, and yet took no pains to have their wretchedness alleviated. The protest was signed by all the field-officers in the prison camp, and forwarded, but, as was expected, it failed to elicit a reply.

C.S.M. Prison, Columbia, S.C.

Nov. 12, 1864.

Lt.-Gen. Hardee, Commanding Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida:

General - We, the undersigned, acting in behalf of the federal officers confined in this prison, hereby respectfully submit to you our protest against the treatment which we have received in this place.

As Union prisoners of war, we have had, heretofore, uniformly good reasons to complain of rations short in quantity and very inferior in quality, of an extremely inadequate supply of cooking utensils, and of very long detention of letters, moneys, and boxes from home, but never before we were brought to this prison have had reason to complain that the Confederate authorities had aggravated these standing grievances ten-fold by exposing us, as they have done here, to the inclemency of the weather, in a camp in which not a structure of the humblest kind has been erected for our accommodation.

It is but just to admit that twenty A tents and one tent fly were issued about four weeks ago to officers who are charged with the transaction of business connected with the prisoners. But, with that exception, we have been left for more than five weeks to shift for ourselves the best way we could. During the first fortnight of our imprisonment here there were only eight very unserviceable ones among fourteen hundred officers, and six of these were private property. Subsequently twelve axes were issued to us by the commandant of the prison. With these twelve axes, and with fourteen shovels, which were recently issued for our use, we have erected such shelters as were practicable under the embarrassments caused by the restrictions of prison discipline. At present, most of us have only very rudimentary shelters of pine branches, but few of us having as yet found it possible to erect log huts, roofed with pine branches and clay. Our great want of adequate shelter makes us all feel the more keenly the other hardships of our prison life. Many officers, weak and sickly from long confinement and Insufficiently supplied with clothing, blankets and shoes, have suffered severely from cold and rain. The want of shelter makes us especially feel the want of proper rations. No meal or lard has been issued to us for the past forty days. The daily allowance to each officer in this camp consists of one pine of unbolted corn meal, one half-pint of molasses, one-tenth of a pine of rice, one-fourth of a tablespoonful of alt, with occasionally one-fifth of a pine of very bad flour. This allowance, our experience has proved, does not furnish adequate or suitable food for men who suffer so much as we do from exposure. In brief, the pressure of our condition here justifies us in saying that annoyances, frequently amounting to torment, is inflicted upon us in almost every relation of our prison life. This statement will not be considered extravagant, coming from officers who are required to find their own shelters, with very inadequate tools and under very embarrassing circumstances - who are obliged to cut, ?on time,? the timber for their fuel and shelter, and to carry the material on their backs a distance of several hundred yeards from the neighboring woods, who are inadequately supplied with food, who are so scantily supplied with cooking utensils, that many of them cannot cook breakfast till late in the afternoon; who are tantalized by the provoking detention of letters and boxes from home, and who are moreover denied the benefit of the moneys sent them by their friends.

Our Government has already found it necessary to retailiate in behalf of Union prisoners of war by reducing the rations allowed to your fellow-citizens in Northern military prisons. We deprecate the necessity of inflicting additional retaliation, by turning fourteen hundred Southern officers out of their prison shelters, and subjecting them to treatment as nearly as possible identical with that which we receive.

In justice to you, we will state that we do not believe that you fully realize our condition in this camp, for your bravery and great experience as an officer assure us that the generosity characteristic of the tried soldier would long ere now have moved you to grant us the redress which we have a right to expect at the hands of the authorities of a civilized people.

In the forgoing statement we can affirm with truth that we have not exaggerated anything, or set down aught in malice. The gravity of our case has made us very careful that our action, in the premises should not be impaired by exaggeration or abuse.

We have the honor to be, General, your very obedient servants.

The Eighty-fifth New-York Volunteers was captured at Plymouth, N.C., April 20, 1864 and numbered after the fight about 400 in all, enlisted men.
