Our soldiers in Yankee prisons.

--The Confederate authorities have promptly received and distributed all contributions forwarded to Federal prisoners in Richmond. Cannot an arrangement be made by which our soldiers in Federal hands will receive tokens of remembrance from friends at home? We are quite sure that Gen. Winder would take pleasure in forwarding packages of chewing and smoking tobacco, clothing, &c., sent to his care, and that he would have them forwarded to Major Mulford, at Fortress Monroe, who would reciprocate the attention of our own officers. We know our people and our Governments--Confederate and States--are anxious to add to the comfort of those noble Southern patriots now pining and dying in the filthy prisons of the North, and, as the Federal authorities are anxious to keep them there, it should be our greatest pleasure to make their punishment sit as lightly as possible upon them.
