M»rydn’s Officers in the Ohio Penitentiary—
how they are treated.—The following slip from
the special correspondence of the Cincinnati En
quirer has been kindly handed us by a gentfeman
who has just succeeded in making his escape from
the yankees it needs no oominent fronj us:
Columhls, December 27, 1863.
Morgan ts not »jugUt, so far as we know here,
but his officers iu tlie penitentiary are well caged.
If we can’t get the chicf to punisti,Jwe can punish
his c jlonels, captains and lieutenants he left be
hind him. Every one of his officers is in solitary
cotifinement, in a stone cell, seven feet long by
three and one-half feet wide, cold and dark at that.
licre their exercise is walking a plank six feet
long and one and a half broad, laid lengthwise on
the floor of the cell. Three short steps forward
—wheel to the right about three steps t’other way
—about again, mafth thre» steps forward, and so
'they exercise until the short steps-make them
dizzy, when they are glad to rest themselves on
their cots. \Ve are punishing theni because
they didn’t escape, or because Morgan and half a
doz-3n of their number did Any how we are
punisliing them. We allow them to write to their
parents, wives or sisters, if they have any, and if
they hav’nt any, they can’t write at all; and when
they do we itrepect their letters. Nobody can
complain of that. Nor do we allow them to re
ceive shirts or clothing from friends or relatives.
^ We complain of tho way our Union prisoners,
at Kichaiond, are treated. I guess the rebels
can’t beat our Ohio Penitentiary, nor the Western
Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, at Alleghany town.
Solitary confinement in a narrow cell will soon
bring prisoners to’the lunatic apartment, or mo
ther earth. The history of ^11 bastiles proves
that. General Neal Dow and Commissioner
Meredith say that the rebel Governmei.t allow
our Union prisoners to receive what their friends
choose to send them'. ,Nor if any of them escape
are those that retoain shut up, each man by him
self, in- ^ solitary wii, either by. way of punishment
or warning.

I balow that city, and that it wns supposed to ba«
I'been caused by the blowing up of a yaukee guc
boat. This supposition is confirmed by late newj
from the North, by which we learn that the ves
gel destroyed was the Iron Age, which had
aground and was blown up by her crew to preveot
lier falling into our hands.
Large arrical of Coffee.—A train of eightees
cars loaded with governuieut coffee, say.- the Peters

we learn, reached the country throug^i the block
