From the Caddo parish prison we were moved to a va. @ant store on the principal business street in Shreveport. ‘There wo wero joined by seven or eight privates and 4 ecuple of deserters, Genera) Kirby Smith had just made ‘Wbecity hie headquarters, and this yacant store bad just been made the rebel guardhouse. The regular rebel army rations wero issued to us—cora moal, fresh beof and a jittle'sugar and molasses, There was only one tin shop in town, and tho tinker, bemg a dotalled soldier, ‘was working only for the government, Tne quarter’ master furniebed ue a few cooking utensils and some @mall tio plates; but the material’ wae so scarce ‘bas our plates were made of old tin. taken off the roofs of houses. In gome respects this guard- Bouse was -little better than ihe dungeon; for we wero confined im the same room with ail worts of prisovers, ‘pcluding drunken rebel soldiers. One wight a rebel who was imprisoned in the same room with us for murdering a satlor, succeeded in effecting hie escape, in consequence of which stricter orders were ‘deewed to the sentinels, who sometimes would not let us Spproach a window or @ door. About this time we bad a ‘visit from Coloue) Dubbard, who bad just been appointea ‘temporary commander of the post. Ho was a very Ppoliehed. and. a very pleasing gentleman. He told mo ‘that/he was formerly a representative ia the Congress of ‘the United States trom the State of California, He epoxe 4o the highest terms of Genera! Banks xs a statesman, a foldier and a gentioman. Seciag the unpleagaut place we * were confined 10, Colonel Hubbard soca furnished us morecomfurtabie quarters in tbe third story of an ad- Joining building. Shreveport was once a flourishing business piace of a few thousand inbabitants; but it is cow very materially Gepopuiated. Comparatively speaking, tho city is de- eerted: “Many of the stores are closed, and in those that are open there is little to be purchased.

Occasionally eome of them wonid give full ex Pression 19 their gecearion seutiraghla, bul Bere Freqoectiy sentinels would tell ts bowtired they were ‘of the war, and bow pleased they wod!d be to see ibe ‘scbniry peaceful and prosperous as before, and restored ‘% Ne former unity. ‘These wero geverally persons who (Bed been forced into the army.

Put 1 bave never been in a battle yet, nor do] ever mean to free guo.” We were astonished to Gnd eo many of the geldiere privately promulgate similar seotiments. _ Other @eidiers would express their (rm determination tw fight 111 death for freedom from what they called “the Lincoln despotism.” We sometimes question 4 such persons very closely, and found aimoet Mevariably, that while they appeared honest enough in ‘Wer convictions, they spoke jess from Knowledge than from prejudice, aod know avibing of the prosperity and Mberty of the people of the North. They could not com Prebend how it couid be when’ we told them that, not ‘withstanding tbe contiovusnce of tbe war, Noribern towne ‘and cities were lively and prosperous; (bat business waa ‘eg brisk as usual, save in a fow departments; that im the North there was a great abundance of everythmg coo @ucive to tbe people's necessities and comfort; that up to ‘Whe period of our capture al! the (Union seidiers were vo! emteers, and there was not tbe name of 8 single conscript m the wutter rolls of all the Cuion armies.

THR WAY TEE REBELS KEBP TABIR COURAGE UP. ‘We were’ very comfortably situated in those quarters ‘when one day ip June we were removed to a smaller room MBemaller building. There were no rear windows to it, ‘and no opportunity for the free circulation of fresh sir, Bometimes we got hold of the Shreveport newspapers. Byery day or two an extra would be issued. The most ‘widieulous reports were circulated among the Southern people. Sometimes the news would be that 'n a tremen- Gous Oght ot Vicksborg Grant bad sixty thousand killed, end Grant himself was wounded, sometimes that Taylor ed recaptured New Orleans, and that Lee nad taken ‘Weebington, Philadelphia and New York, and was march ‘ag epon Boston.

However, the Qrett would occasionally reach us through privme warties.

ARRIVAL OF MORE UNION PRIBSOKTRS. We remained tn that cncomfortable guardbouse npti) @er there arrived to Shreveport—about ibe middie of July—nearly one bondred Union prisoners, captured s+ ‘and near Brashear City in the month of Juno. More than forty of them were commissioned 8, The remainder were principally civilians who had been employed as la- Borers on the New Orleans aud Opelousas Ratiroad.

Ov Sunday morning, July 19, all those citizens, cave a few who wero sick in hospital, were sent under guard to Texas. They were about forty-five in number. Among tbem was @ man who for thirteen years bad been Jeff, Davis’ gardener, For a long time we never knew what had become of those prisoners, until at last—many months afterwarde—on our bomeward march, we bap. pened to be guarded by the same rebel soldiers who bad taken them to Texas. We ascertained that tho orders from Genera) Kirby Smith’s headquarters were to march them acroes the Staté of Texas, away to Fagle Paes, on the Rio Grande, and there turn them Into Mexico. This company of cavalry had accordingly conducted them as far as Yan Avtonio, where they delivered them to the commander of ibe post, who was to forward them to Mexigo, Jt wag @ twa months’ march—a fear ful march of seven or eight bundred miles—im the beat ofeummer, 1 have learned recently that after having been turned Joose in Mexico they sought assistance from the American Consul there, and that be furnsbed them transportation to New Orleans.

After these men had been sent away the officers had voptinued confidence in the hopes held out to them that tbey themselves would be very soon exchanged; but only afew days elapsed Before all of us were en route to Texag, 100, Our destination was Tyler, one bundred and ep miles from Shreveport.

We were vext moved to & camp ground at a sulpbhor spriog, foor m les from Tyler, where we met afew otber Union prisovers. It wag catied Camp Ford, A tempo- rary sbed or building abont forty feet by twenty was tho accommodation furnished for seventy-two of as. At this place we were coder the charge of the militia. These were mostly old men, between the ages of forty-five and Girty, gathered in from the adjacent counties, We cooked or rations 06 fires built on the groand outside the bar. racks Chopping wood afforded us some exerciee. The Goarce, old men as they were, enused to martial scenes nd military discipline, made the most comical locking goidiers. Some were secesrionists ; but most of em were Union men.

Previous to that time ‘the Officers and men of the Nineteenth lows and Twenty- sixth Indiana regiment#, captured oear Morganza, on the Missiasippi, in Septerober. bad beeo marched from there (nearly four hundred miler), and joined us at Camp Fora, ‘There were vearly four bepdred aod fifiy of them.

The rebels would pay doliar « piece for ‘was like that of the South Soa Isiandors for various kinds of trinkets, Some of us remained several monthe to Camp Ford, The time bang heavy on our bands, for we bad little else to do but watch the passing of the summer days and tho falling of the autumn leave. A CRUBL MARCH, At length, in November last, Major Shaumburg, In- spector General of Goneral Kirby Smith’s department, paroled the non-commissioned offieers, privates aud Civilians, He said he was going to take ue straight througb to Vicksburg, where we would be delivered over to our own authoritios, On November 29 we started from Camp Ford. We bad to leave the officers bebind ug, doomed fo many more montbs of monotonous imprison. ment, Their pames haye been already published. It was 4 touching ecene when we bade them all farewell, ‘and marched out of the stockade by which tbe camp grounds are surrounded, Our time for, making the march to Shreveport was lWmited, Major Sbaumburg gave positive orders to the guards not to allow any of the prisoners to fall out “ the ranks, Webad to march about twenty-five miles aday. At vight wo received rations of corp meal, and occasionally fresh meat, but the rebels gave us nothing whatever to cook them in, Most of us were compelled to mix the meal with water on @ piece of board or bark,and then place it neay the fire, apd to bold the meat over the flames on a stick till it waa cooked, Most of us were thwly clad, and many were entirely barefooted. We made, the march of over one Dundred miles io four days; but when we reached the springs near Ebreveport there was scarcely @ man out of ail our number who did not have swoollen limbs and Diistered feet. It was one of the most cruel marchea 1 bave over heard of. All along thé road we passed trains cohveying cotton from Louisiana into Texas, IN CAMP NEAR SHREVEPORT. Instead of going to Vicksburg, bowever, we were taken toa rebel camp of tustraction, ten miles from Shreve- port. We were informed that our authorities bad “é- fused to receive us at Vicksburg. In accordance with military usages, our paroles were withdrawn, and we were placed ander guard. {np another portion of the same camp there were a number of rebel soldiers captured at Vicksburg, who, having been paroled, were awaiting their exchange, The Union prisoners ‘were some of the troops who captured those rebel eoldiers. The meeting ‘was very interesting. The soldiers {rom both belligereat armies crowded about the guard fines and conversed with great freedom and frankness. The rebels brought bread and meat, and gladly gavo them to our soldiers, etating that they cever could forget the Kindness with which they bad been trealed by our officers and meo after the (ail of Vicksburg. About the lst of January our Dumber was augmented to over eight bund: by the arrival of nearly four bundred other Union prigonere from Camp Groce, near Hempstead, Texas. They consisted Principally of the goldierg and sailor captured.on the gun- boats Sachem and Clifton, at Sabine Pass, on the coast of Texas. Their gommissioned officers bad’ been left at €amp Ford; but the men were brought to the camp of instraction, on their way to be exchanged. That march of several bundred miles, from Hempstead to Shreveport , was a terrible one, and eome of their number died og the way. After the lapse of a few days the eoldiers ind sailors were released from guard and allowed limited Paroles; but the citizens were kept in close custody. We were put into @ dilapidated shed, separate from the other priconers, under a special guard, and allowed to bold D0 commutication whatever with any one. We were told that the soldiers and sailors would be sent within Our lines ag eoon a8 arrangements for sending them could be made, but that we would etil! be kept in custody, HOMEWARD BOUND. therefore very agreeably surprised one morning, about the middie of Japuary, when we received orders from Colonel Theard, command ing the camp, to get ready to leave immediately, as we were about to be released. We waiked to Shreveport, where we waited nearly a week for transportation. The steamboat Strelia conveyed us down tho Red river to A‘exandria, Thence we were conducted by water and by Jaod wo the Red river landing, ov the Mississipp! river, where we were delivered under flag of trace toCapt, Ram- say, who commands ;the division of our guoboats in that portion of the river. £0 we left tho soldiers and sailors behind ue, near Shreveport, Louisiana, aod the commis sioned officers near Tyler, Texas. There were about » dozen of us, including Mr. Liovel B, Joseph, a mer- ebant of New York; Mr. Stratton, of New Orleans, aod Mr, Clement, the railroad engineer. One of our number, Mr. J.D. Fry, from the interior of this State, we were compelled to leave bebind us in Alexandria, because he was too sick to undertake the journey. RECRUITING REBEL SOLDIERS. While waiting in Shreveport for tho steamboat we ‘were pat into the rebel guardhouse. It is the same guardbouse in which threo of our officera spent several weeks more than @ month before. At that time it was almost continually fail of rebel conscripts, deserters acd oiber persons, who were ignorant of any charges against them, and innocent of offences, There were as many as one hundred and thirty crowded) into that guard house at one time, Among them were old men and young men, sickly and decrepit—literally the lame, the bait aca the bind, Many of them bad no knowledge whotever of why they bad been arrested. Atthe same time they were intimidated by being wid that they would be bung or shot, as the case mighi be, which frequen tly bad the desired effect of making them immediate!y join the army. A regiment of Louisiana cavairy was being recruited jo the viciwity of Shreveport. On several oc cae:cns some Of the officers of that regiment visited the gvardboure to obtain recruite Here areafew of the many ingiances of rebe) recruiting witnessed in that gvardbouse. A rebei officer entering the room went up $0 an old man who was ), and able to walk only with tbe astistacce of @ cane. officer said to bim, “Mister, doo’ you want to get Out of this scrape and join a good eavairy regiment?’ "The old man replied, ‘No. | ain't ft for service; Ican't ridea horse, and I don’t know whet they've put me in ere’ fur,” ‘Well,” repiied the officer, “Wl give you a good show- ing, sod I'l) pot yoo im the artillery that's forming im ocr regiment. , What's your name?’ The man told bis name, and the officer wrote it down, remarking, ‘I'll call for you in a day or two.” Of course ‘the man was forced into the cavairy, for there was no artillery forming io the regiment. ‘The officer then went to another man and repeated the question, “Mister, don't you want to get out of this ecrape ‘fand join a good cavalry regiment?” This man also said he couid not serve, and to convince bim showed the offi - Cer bis brokén leg, with the fractured bone protruding through the akin, ‘Ob, that’s no matter,” said the offi- cer; ‘yoo can ride @ borse;’’ and down wont the other old man’s name on the regimental roll, There were in this guardhouse three men who were nearly blind. The firet was @ young man, a conscript, who had deserted; the second was also a young man, who bad committed some misdemeanor, and the third was an 01d man, ope of the new conscripts, who had not yet beer asrigned to duty, Ove of these young men was so blind ‘that when he was Cirected to ope Corser of the room ‘get a drink of water be did not find the bucket until be stumbled over it. One of the recruiting officers went to the old man, WhO was nearly blind, and wanted him to get out of the ecrape by joining @ good cavairy regiment. ‘The O14 man was vory much Ombarrassed. Ae thought Dimself unfit to bea soldier, and pointed to bis eyes, be: We were Neving tbat bia defective eyeright would ly entitie bim to exemption.

ARMIES. The rebol Gonerai Allin, the now robe! Governor of Lonisiana, who lately rovurned from a tour over a con ekterable portion ef tbe confederacy, 1m eddvemiag tbe Citizens of Ajexandria, said tbat be bad beeo brought ‘. with of the civ) and military officers of pay Fk wh gp dephoette obtaining full apd ve- corate information of tho situation and strength of the rebel armies and the reveurces-a1 band for their eubsist- ence He gayo the aggrey> oumper of rebel troops dow ip actual service as being over three bundred and eighteon thousand, of whom sixty thousand were with Leo, one hundred thousand in Bragg’s old army, thirty. Gve thousand with Boauregara at Charleston, veo’ thon- sand jp Richmond -and ite defences, ton thousanit iv Florida, thirty thousand with Johastoa before he was as. signed to Bragg’s dopartment, thirty-eight thousand three 4 under Kirby Smith im the Trans Mississippi department, twenty thousand in North Carolina, besides twenty thongand more ostimated in detached brigades, regiments, battalions and companies. Be described the condition of the troops as better than it bad ever been before, and asserted that the rebel armies had not only gained in numbers, but In. effective power, from continued experienced, from discfpline and from the knowledge gained on many battle fields. He degeribéd the resources for the gupport of all these troops abandanteverywhore, But, on the other hand, a rebel officer of distinguished rank remarked to me;—"' He gays we have three hundred and eighteen thoneand effective soldiers jn the Bed, but, for my part, 1 would not know where to find so many.” And it is a well known fact tbat, while the rebe! armies may not actually sulfer for want of food, there are n0 commissary stored to epare in the confederacy. DESPERATION OF THE REBEL LEADERS. Ouevf the principal things that. impreesed itseif upon our minds. was the energy apd desperation of the rebel Jeaders, notwithstanding their owo inevitable ruin, and be crampling condition of their cause, lodeeds what makes them 80 very desperate is the fact that, pow the game bas gone 80 far, they bave ail to win or all to lose, if they had had any adequate idea of tho calm, settled Purpose that the North bas shown to put down, at what- ever cost, auch a formidable rebellion, some rebel officers Dave told me that the country would never bave been eweps by the flames of civil war, And ‘there are some officers in the rebel armies now who, being vonvinced ‘vhat the North must eveutually conquer, would be glad to sheath the sword if they could do eo with any ahow of Donor, {tis an unfortunate circumstance in the eduoa- ton of Southern people that-they bave placed so low an estimate Oo the intelligence, spirit and power of the people of the North, Many of them have been nurtured tm the doctrine that the people of the North bear in their boeoms an implacable batred of the people of the South. That Js one of the many evil growing out of the peculiar institution. Many bave been taught to believe since the commencement of this war, and especially since tho Promulgation of Mr. Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation, that the war was waged by an abolition administration for the sole purpose of emancipating all the Southern Glaves and reducing the Southern people to a condition equivalent to dependency and yassalage. The Southerners are exceedingly high spirited, and, though they might be convinced that they were io the wrong, many of them, supfianting pride by wilful stubbornness, would sooner die in a desperate struggle than be subjected to the hy. miliation, disgrace and univertal degradation which they De'ieve would follow Bubmiesion to the authority of the government at Washington. This is a gad condition of affairs; but 14 is the resuit of their early education. DESPOTISM IN THE SOUTH. Apotber thing that we nad favorabie opportunities of obeerving was the complete control which the leaders bave over the maeses of the people. The South is one vast military establishment, controlled by a few energetic end determined men. The wishes of the majority of tne people are entirely ignored, and the macbineryof despotic government is so well mabaged by the chiefs that it is im poss ibie have a popular expression of the real sen- ‘iments and opinions of the people. Every one looks opon bis oeighbor with suspicion, Men of one mind are» afraid to express ther feclings ,simply because they have bat perfect confidence in each other. Alence it often bap. pens that among @ company, apparentiy composed of bosom friends, there may be many who talk one way and thing another. ip the South there is 00 freedom of speech, of actton or ef opinion. The whole" country ig under the iron rule of despotism, and is Lag sinking {nto anarchy aod ruin. THE MISERY OF THE PROPLE. It ts Iamentable to witness the dreadful state of misery ‘into which the rebellion bas plunged the Soutbern peo- ple. Young and old, rich and poor, are indiscriminately forced into the army. Tbe last sweeping conscript act calls for many who have hitherto kept out of it by doing ‘Various kinds of work needed by the government, and most of them, determined mot to figbt, are now endeavoring to leave the lines of the confedera- cy. The towns and cities that bave been destroyed and the magoviicent farms and plantations ruined, oot to mention the proportion of the population wasted, are truly terribie to contemplate, Ali the Southern tow: and cities that | have seeo wok, comparatively epeak ing, diemal and deserted. Most of tho coileges, academics and schools are closed; for both teachers and pupils have been put into the army, and gome of the buildings are either going to decay or used as army hospitals. There ig oo literature in the South, save the sickening stuff that “fires the Southern heart” in the ‘rebel oewepa pers. There are few of the enjoyments of social life. There is co business transacted except such ag is either directly or indirectly connected with the war. Indeed, the whole business of the South is war; and atthe eame time every ope is ooking and longing for peace, WHEN SHALL WE Have Peace? Upon what \erms peace can be made it is almost im- poesible to state. Both North and South bave a strong Gesiro for peace. The terms of the South appear to be eternal separation from the federal government and tbo recognition of a Southern confederacy, The terme of the North are the anconditional return of the Soutbern poople to their former allegiance to the Union. Were jt not for the rebel leaders we would soon bave peace and re- union. Tbe leaders seem determined to prolong the struggle. The temper of the South is told in thi characteristic expression, which the rebels are fond of. using:-—“We'll fight you till Heli freezes over, and then we'll fight you on the ioe.’ And the temper of the Nerth is told tp the anewer made by some of our soldiers'—‘Very well; we're used to the cold; we can whip you on the ice.’ Some of the most couserva- tive Southern citizens and officers bave assured me that reunion is impossible under the preeent administration. At the earme time they have eaid that sbould the Norsh now elect @ fair, conservative Presidest, ibey would bope for a suspension of hostilities; that they would consider ® suspension of bestilities almost equivalent to peace; for conditions which they would not listen to from Mr. Lin- coln they would be happy to accopt from anoiber Presi. dept. Some of them have aiso wid mo thats full and complete amnesty to all engaged tn the rebellion, and repeal of the confiscation act, might have a tendency to ood the war immediately. “If you would only do that,” said a rebel officer who beld a bigh command, ''! believe there would ecarcely be a Southern eoldier onder arms ia thirty days. But the last amnesty proclamation of Mr Lincoln defeats the object sought 10 be attained; for it exclodes from clemency the very men who save the power to disperse the armies.”’ “Ifa universal amnesty wore progiaimed,” be repeated, "I believe there would ecarcely bo a Southern soldier under arms in ibirty days.” We embraced every favorable opportunity to impress upon the minds of the Southern people with whom we came In @oiactt that \t was the firm detormination of tne federal goverament to reciaim every foot of Southera eof, avd that if the Southern people did pot hearken to tho yolee of conciliation, and accept the invitations tp re- turn, the war would be prosecuted tii the fing of the Upioo should wave in triumph over land and sea, ‘The resuite of my observations lead me to the concla- tion that tbo ovly way to have peace end aniov now is -by ® vigorous prosecution of the war Thoukaads of brave and coble soldiers, Nort and South, must fall oa tbo battle field; streams of fraternal blood must tow again, making American soil still dearer to Americans, ‘god wiliious of money must, be fost before tho war shall have been ended.
