[Indorsement.]

Inform him that the fact of bad treatment was not only denied by the United States Government in answer to our demand, but also by Major Cosby, General Buckner's assistant adjutant-general, who was paroled for a short time and came to Richmond. He represented that with the exception of denying him intercourse with the other prisoners he was kindly treated, well lodged, and allowed to take the air on the ramparts. Colonel Dimick, the U. S. officer in command at Fort Warren, is very friendly to General Buckner.

As we exercise the right of separating prisoners we cannot call in question that of the enemy to do the same thing.

Our Prisoners at Fort Warren.

[From the Boston Journal.]

There are now about 150 rebel prisoners at Fort Warren, which will probably be increased very soon. Three only are kept in close confinement; Charles Keene, a privateer and Generals Buckner and Tilghman. Keene is only allowed out at 5 a. m., (reveille) to mach with his tub, flanked by two of the guard, across the parade ground and back to his cell. The two generals are allowed, separately to go out one hour each day, between 9 and 10 o'clock.

Let our Government take a note of this. Our generals in close confinement in a fort, while the Yankee generals are allowed their liberty and suffered to lounge and luxuriate at our best hotels. - Examiner.
