2XCHANGING PRISONERS.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press was I
on board a vessel in which 210 Fort Warren
prisoners went south, to be exchanged for Fede-
rals, prisoners of war. " The privates in this
batch," he writes, were chiefly educated men, and
associated on terms of entire equality with their
officers, occupying the same cabin and the same
deck. Not wishing to infringe the rules with re-
gard to prisoners, I did not talk with these men,
but was addressed by a few colonels, whose genuine
courtesy enhanced my regret at their being ene-
mies, and in so senseless a cause. All spoke of the
war as likely to last long, and scouted the idea of
the Union being again consolidated. They inspected
silently and with great interest the different gun-
boats that we passed, and more especially the Moni-
tor end Galena. Each new feature on shore, as
they supposed themselves within their own lines,
was engerly scanned. On the first view of negroes,
one cried out,' Here are some intelligent contra-
bands !" A general laugh then ensued at this fre-
quent term used by Northern papers. Presently
the sight offered itself of negro women, whom they
knew to be slaves, and their gratulations were
lively. The old South was really reached at last.
On they came from their distant houses, trooping
to the landing, and were received with waving of
handkerchiefs and screeches of delight. Generals
vied with their subordinates in these demonstra-
tions, to which the negro women heartily re-
ponded. Dera's our folks ; glad to see you
massas I' 'Dey'r waiting for you up dar,' were
severally heard among their shouts of welcome ;
and one old woman, who led the rest, was pro-
found in her courtesies and gesticulations.
Did you see her throw her arms up and then
fold them on her breast, hey ?' said a delighted
colonel ; G—d d—n her old heart !' Similar novel
manifestations of sentiment were expressed on other
occasions of that kind that offered themselves ; but
on a first sight of Secesh white women enthusiasm
became boundless. They were ladies in the house of
Mr. Aiken. They flung open the blinds and waved
their handkerchiefs with a will. No cheer were
given in return, but screech followed upon screech,
and yell upon yell. Many danced. Sweet as
peaches ! I know they're pretty,' said an excited
youth. ' Bless 'em, God bless 'em 1' said another,
I'd wave 'em my handkerchief, if it were not so
dirty,' said a third ; but never mind, I'll give 'em
my hat ;' and again hats were waved and cries re i
I viewed. Soon the landing was attained, and j
descended to go on shore."
