The roads between Washington and the

to be shipped by small steamers and transports.
The work of exchanging prisoners is going
on practically, though not strictly in conformity
with the rules Of war. 1t is announced that

England will ask no questions unless she sees
captured vessel in the wake of her cap
tor II the ground is tenable in regard to
persons it is in regard to merchandise, for per-
SONS are very often more valuable acquisition
to an enemy than goods, and, on the other
hand it might often happen, that to get rid
of prisoners might DO much more valuable
privilege than that Of landing goods. The Times
would certainly have not entered upon a de-
tense of the right of the Confederate steamer
to land prisoners had it not seen that the
United States bad good ground of complaint
against the British Government for permitting
a violation Of its assumed neutrality by our
enemies, and that a necessity existed OF getting
up a false issue on behalf of the friends OF that
journal. At any rate, the supposition, which
seems general in England, that we have
grievance in this matter, and the discussion OF
the question Of whether persons are contra
bands of war, is on excellent preparation for
the reception of the intelligence that Mason
and Slidell had been taken from British
vessel

THE LArRsT WAR NEWS.

TIE Memphis AUatanche has a dispatch from
Pensacola, dated the 4th inst, stating that the
steamships Florida and Pamco had engaged
the United States fleet off the east end Of
Horn Island, at 0 o'clock that day, when our
vessels retired. This affair probably occurred
off Horn Island, which is situated on Missis-
sippi Sound, between Ship and Petit Bots Isl
ands about twenty miles south of the entrance
to Mobile Bay, our vessels doubtless being en-.
gagged in accommodating merely.
From Missouri we learn that Gen. Pope has
been assigned to the command of all tho Union
forces between the Missouri and Usage Rivers,
comprising the majority Of the army which
Gen. Fremont took to Springfield, and that
preparations are being made to go into Winter
quarters. The Rebel Gen. Price is still south
of the Osage, and by desertion and the expira.
ton of the term of service, is losing more men
than he gained by his proclamation. In fact,
the hero Of Bonneville has become so obnoxious
that jeff Davis has sent down Col. Henry
Heath OF Virginia 10 supersede him. Outrages
are being committed in Independence and near
Sedala Dy the oecesslOn.Sts.
Ten thousand additional rebel troops are sad
to have arrived at Columbus, Kentucky, since
the battle Of Belmont, and it is asserted on
their side that $4,000 troops could not now
capture that position. Great excitement is re.
ported at Nashville, in consequence of Gov.
Harris having resolved upon drafting troops for
the rebel army Letters from Somerset aud
Stanford, Kentucky, on the 9th inst, say
