Atlength 1 have been released: I have not been ex- Banged or paroled. I have been released. Mine is what an be called an ‘unconditional surrender.” Major @eneral Banke on the one side, and Major General Taylor em the other, nave recently entered inte an agracment by which all tho citizen prisoners heretofore captured by Shetr commands respectively would be released from sustody. In accordance with the terms of that agree- ment I formed one of a dozen citizens who, on the 2d of February, were delivered under a flag of trace to Captain Ramsay, commanding a division of our maya) squadron on the Lower Mississippi. ; A year is a long time to bea prisoner of war.

The gracoful folds of our cherished standard are waving over me in the Empire City of the North.

In the course of my captivity in jails, in military pris- ms and jn camps havo been with many of the Upion prisonors captured west of the Miszissippi within a yeu.

I know béw difflouit it is to be impar a. Some people, inclined to extremes in oyery- thing, deem impartiality impossible. I am not of their epinion, The facts that I will furnish reveal tho @readful condition of affuirs within the rebel lines. They show the energy and desperation of the Southern leaders, the sentiments of many of the Southern citizens, and @emonstrate that the misery of the people is cooxtensive ‘with the magnitude of the revolt, And, frst, permit me to ovserve that I have never enter- Sained any antipathy to the people of the South. I had earned to look upon them and to love them as our com- mon kindred, I hag learned to love a land that is illus- ‘rious for the beauty of its sunny skies, the Juxuriance of {ts sugar cane and cotton fields, the fragrance of its ‘@range groves and gardens. I had learned to love the Bospitality and grace of its imperial planters. I had Jearned t) love the cool evening air you breathe from Sheir broad verandas. Some people, North and South, make a practice of denouncing one or the other section of Meecountry. This isa sad and dangerous error. It fe an evidence of either prejudice or ignorance, or both; for when people of both sections commingle freely with each other, they invariably become more charitable aod wonservative. Tt was the fancy I had for Southern scenes that made me pleased to accept an opportunity to transfer the lo- @aiity of my correspondence from the Potomac to the Missiseippi. THE QUEEN OF THE WEST. ON THE MISSS8 PFI. While the army under Major General Grant was invest- ug Vicksburg, the upper gunboat fleet, under Rear Ad miral Porter, was doiog all that could be done to discon- wert the operations of the enemy. On Monday morning, February 2, 1843, the United States steam ram Queen of the West, Col. Charles E. Eliot commanding, astonished the garrison of Vicksburg by running the gaunt- Ret of all its blazing batteries. She subsequently @aptured three steamboats laden with provisions for the ‘@nemy at Port Hudson, and sent therm floating down the Mississippi without captain, engineer or pilot, each steamboat transformed into a moving confiagration. Oa Wueeday, February 10, the Queen startea on her secoud @dventurous voyage down the Mississippi river. By so much as the first was successful the second was disas- Grous, for, while the fruits of the former were the cap Sure of several steamboats from the enemy, the reult of ‘Bho latter was the loss of the Queen herself. The night ‘was wonderfully beautiful. Mitlions of stars glittered in Bhe deep blue sky, and their reflection made millions More seom to sparkle on the water. We expected that Bhe batteries at Warrenton would open on us; but we ‘Were disappointed. Probably the enemy could not see ‘™s in the darkness. So we passed the batteries at War- Fenton in silence. Early Wednesday morning we paid a Passing visit to the plantation formerly owned by old President Zachary Taylor. It is a son of that departed Patriot aad .bero who is a major general in the rebel ‘@rmy, and now commanding the rebel forces in Lower Louisiana. The property in question now belongs ‘0 Jeff. Davis and bie uncle Joe. At Natchez wo saw ‘undreds of the citizens assombied on the hill. They stood gazing in amazement at us, We anchored near the ‘mouth of Red river for the night. ADVENTURES, ‘On the following morning, as we approached a planta- Sion to make inquiries conceriing the whereabouts of @teamboats, a number of negroes, mostly old women and Young children, came crowding to the shore. They must ave imagined that we wore coming to take them to their Mancied earthly paradise, in accordance with Mr. Lin- @in’s emancipation proclamation; for they dancéd and shouted, fell down on their knees and clapped their hands tm ecstacy, some of them exclaiming, ‘De day ob de Lord hab surely et © breas de Lord, aba!’ When we ‘wtkod why it mastors had mot taken them away one f the women answered, ‘‘Massa tot we was fit flowers flor de grave, and so he loft us here to die.”’ We went a short distance down the Atchafalaya river, where we de- Stroyed a number of rebel government wagons and soms @eventy barrels of salt beef, Our sailingjmaster, James D.

Ellet left the vessel at. this time. It was apparent that the only practical course for the commander to pursue was to bring up the De Soto, put the crew aboard and then destroy the Queen.

Presently Lieutenant Tuthill came up in a boat from the De Soto to take off onr wounded sailing master, Thompson, and to burn the Queen, In the meantime several of our crew had been soverely scalded by the steam.

Mr. Bolssat told me that Mr. Thompaon, who had deon wounded on the Queen of the West, had been brought ashore, and was being cared for in a private family. All the other prisoners had been paroled and sent within our lines. ‘We will mot treat you,” he said, “ag your people have treated our prisoners: we will treat you well.” A few days afterwards I ascertained that then a tremendous thunder storm arose. The showers of rain fell on the déck as gentle dew compared with tho Showers of grape and canister; the flashes of the light- niog and the flashes of the guns were sometimes simul taneous; the sound of the cannon and the noise of the thunder could scarcely be distinguished. The situation was foarfal, but the sight magnificent. At length the firing ceased. I afterwards ascertained from the oo1 ms of the battery that be had been firing at random, because the darkness of the night had shut out from view the precise location of the Queen, At midnight, however, the enemy set fire toa warehouse on the op posite side of the river, so that the brilliant light it shed iiumiuated that portion of the e bite flag which We conld see buildi An hour ty and Captain Hut. pete iw boy prep git te genet ‘the cov e unpleaswat duty of making it was performed by Boothe,.be being a commissioned officer.

But soon there was a obange, On the afternoon of Wednesday, 1st of april, the deputy sheriff, a corputent old coustable and the jailor came to my door, and after the jatior had opened it tho sheriffeaid to me,‘ You must go up stairs,” observing, as am excuse. for moving me, “the Confederate government wants your room.” I said nothing, but went up stairs with them. Passing from my room into the prigon yard, we ascended a staircage on the outside of the building, On the platform, at the head, we paused a moment while the jailor un- locked two great iron doors. This opened into a passage, whieb, for a window, had an oponing with an iron grdting at the farther end, The passage was occupied by a run: Away negro woman, To the right ie the dungeon for the nogroes, and to the left the dungeon for criminals. It was at tho latter that we paused agaim while the jailor un- ‘ locked two more great iron doors. The massive chains fell with a doleful noise on the iron floor, andthe doors rolied back with a grating eound upon their héavy hinges, ‘The jailor didnot search me, but, with becoming delicacy, oo me for my pocket knife, remarking, as I gave it lo him, ‘According tothe rules of thd ‘prisoa ‘and ‘the? orders that I have, no kaivesare allowed in there,” Tho dungeon doors were open wide; it almost seemed as'if the Jaws of death Had opened and wore impations to receive me. There is a silence more. eloquent , thas! spoken language... Not another word was uttered by the sheriff, the constable, the jailor or myself, But the dungeon doors were open wide; it was @ eltent ‘Dut most impressive invitation to walk.in; and of eourse the invitation was accepted. A few pacos, and I was jaside the iron dungeon. I heard the rusty dungeon. doors close after me, heard the outer doors close with a more distant sound, and heard the jailor’s footfalis on the staircase growing faint, and fainter still, as he descended, until they were gradually lost in the prison yard below, and I heard'their sound no more. 1 was standing aa if I was fastened to the floor, Coming out of tho blazing sup- shine, where my eyes were dazzled, and then into the dark and droary dungeon, I was struck with « partial momentary biindness, so thit fora time I could not telf what was the size of the apartment or who were its occupants. Gradually, however, my eyes became accus- tomed to the gloomy aspect of the place, and I could see chinks in the walls where a glimmer of light stole through, and, by the aid of ‘the little light that came through the ight in the ceiling, I could distinguish that grotesque looking figures were sitting and lying on the floor, To my left I first discovered something strange looking lying close to the wall, near the iron door, It seemed darker even than the dungeon was itself. For a while I could not distinguish the outlines of the figure. I walked up and down, gazing at it; but there it lay, atill and. silent, apparently in the impressive im- mobility of death. Iwas determined to know what thé figure was. So I stopped in front of it, and stogd a while, wondering what it possibly coula be. Finally I stooped down close to it, and as | stooped it moved. I suppose I shuddered ; but I felt relieved to know that, whatever it might be, it was a thing of life. beeing it arose and walked across tne room, the cbains with which it was manacled clanking op the iron floor. As it passed under the skylight I saw that it was a negro, By this time some of the prisoners had spoken to me, and one of them told me that the negro had been sentenced to be hung on the preceding Friday for striking his overseer with a gun and cutting the throat of his master’s mare. He had not been hanged because Bis master had succeeded in procuring an order for another trial. DESCRIPTION OF THR DUNGEON. Upon examining the dungeon J found that it was all of solid iron. It had an fron ceiling, an iron floor, iron wallg and fron doors. In the centre of the ceiling there was a skylight, having throe foparate gratings, I was told that before the commencement of the war somo prisoners who had been confined in there for the com- mission of grave offences had cnt their way out of the skylight when it badontya gingle grating, in cms emence of which two other oratines asch nF % ki ve a Soon, Tad Coad ful fd, S48 abdyo The other, and no knives wore allowed in there. There was a hizh, square cupola abovo the Skylight; the giass in it was broken, so that in stormy weather the rain came down, flooding the floor and jucreasing the dam of the dungeon. On the north side and at either end there wore small openin; the walls for the admittante of air and light: Oftentimes we had to stand with our faces to these openings in order to obtain fresh air. ‘OR! how grateful was a breeze out- side when it blow afew spare blasts through the little openings in our dumfoon walls. ‘THE. COMPANY 1 KEPT. It was not long before I knew the ramer of my compan. fons and their alleged offences. They were these, namely: Jaly, the negro, who was sentenced to be hung; Mr. Hamilton, an old man who had cut mn & Portuguese with a bowie knife—in self defence he satd; two young men, Smith ond Hill, accused of being Union spies; and a rheumatic ‘oid man, who ‘was supposed to be an enemy to the yuthern cause. His name was Burk. Ho asked me where I was captured. I told him I was taken $n the Queen of the West. ‘Don’t you remember seeing me aboard of her?”” he asked. He was lying in the easterm corner of the dungeon. 1 could not distinctly see his face from the spot where I was standing. I went over close to him, and recognized him as another of the men whom Colone! Filet bad picked up on Redriver. I asked him what they Wad put him in prison for. “Why,” he said, “they have put me in here on a charge St punting ou Yankees up Red river, and you kuow as well ag Ido that Tdid noth ing of ind, for I know very little, indeod,about the river.” 1 asked him how old he was. “1 was in 1800."’ he said; ‘I am noarly sixty-three years old When the war broke out I voliinteered in the Confederate army; I fought with Beauregard at Shiloh; after the battle, when we were retreating and the Yankees chasing us, we lost nearly everything; I lay out several nights with- out any covering: I was soon attacked with ‘ism, go that I was no longer fit for service, and after being a rear in the army I got my discharge. 1 have my discharge my pocket now.’ He then pulled out a piece of paper showing that in consequence of disability he had been honorably discharged from the rebel service. ‘The ‘way I came to be bere,” be continued, ‘‘is this:—When tho Queen was disabled 1 got upon some ootton bales lashed together, with some other men, and floated down the river. Afterwards, when I went ashore, a man who had seen mo aboard, and who has owed me @ grudge for ears, had me arreeted and told that story on moe. same mao that joformed on poor Sinith that informed on me, You remember Smith, I suppose, He died in the nigger dungeon over there.’ This old man Bark had been many weeks in jail. He had been unjustly Imprisoned. In & od fote to the editor of the Democrat I told him I believed that if those facts were represented to the military authorities they would not Jeave the old man to die, as Smith had died, in a dreary Gungeon. This note elicited another visit from the editor. He told me that Mr. Burk’s case was probably only one of a hundred similar cases, and he no doubt there were many men now in Southern prisons who, amid the excitement of the times, had been locked up and neglect. 04 or forgotten by the authorities The editor, 1 ea have mentioned, is a secessionist of the strongest kin JOYS WE COULD NOT REALIZE. So these were my companions in the pe. Tn tho daytime it was too dark to read with pleasure. Wo could read a little by straining our eyes immediately beneath the skylignt. On a clear and cloudiess day, when the sun was passing the meridian, a single ray of sunshine would steal down th the skylight, and linger a while upon the wall; and every day at noon wo watched that single inshine with @ sort of sacred pleasure. ay of hope also. It seemed a boly visitor that came to cheer us for an hour. it single ray of suvshine was ge iggy ape only cheefful {hing that we would see all day. light of Heavea never seemed more beautiful to us than in that celestial visitor—so true it is that we never appreciate the bless. tly receiving until we aro deprived of them.

SYMPATHY OF THR OMTLDREN. When the children came home from schoo! that day and did not flod me in my room below, the jailor told me they were greatly disappointed.
