It did not provide that tho rebel should be kept under the care of released prisoners of the federal army. This was a very important Part of the matter.

There were forty-four thousand Union prisoners in the South, and double that number of robel prisoners in the North. We owed it to the brave men who had gone forth to fight in a good cause to inaugurate this system of re- taliation.
