EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-It appears that
the rebel authorities are beginning to tire OF
keeping Union prisoners; they eat too much,
and require too much attention. The Rich
mond Enquirer, few days ago, said there
were LII prisoners Of war in that city, and
that during the last l6 days they had de-
voured 81 800 worth of beef" and to get rid
Of some of these enormous feeders, they sent
250 Of them to Columbia, s. G. The reports
from Richmond are uniform as to the bad treat
ment received by our soldiers who are con-
fined in the filthy jails and tobacco warehouses
of that chivalric city. The boast of the South
has ever been :" its hospitality" but their man
uer Of treating unarmed and harmless prisoners,
stamps them as almost beyond the pale of hui
manity.
1t is, however, pleasant, even in this connec
ton, to notice the contrast between the citizens
Of Boston and Richmond. Massachusetts,, more
than any other State In the Union, hates the
peculiar institution" and her people make nc
extraordinary pretensions to hospitality; but
their acts demonstrate that they are brave in
battle, magnanimous to the vanqushed, and
humane to their prisoners
A few days ago, the Mayor Of Boston went
| down to Fort Warren, now filed with the
State prisoners from Fort Lafayette, and found
them in great distress for the want of common
comforts. He Immediately returned to the
| city, and made known their condition, and the
next day returned with an ample supply o.
blankets, and all other articles necessary fol
their comfort For the sick, he took beds ant
bedding, proper food, wiue, tea, sugar, med
icines, and everything their condition required
and all these were the voluntary contribution
of the citizens, who love justice and humanity
and whose sons and brothers are now in arm
to- establish both.
But as we said in the beginning, the rebel
desire to get rid of their prisoners by sem
system of exchange, and have dispatched on
of their prisoners, Lieut.. Kutz of the U. s
navy, to Washington, to effect if possible, som
amicable arrangement. He has parole O
ffty-six days, which was obtained through tn
intercession of ex-senator Mallory, after er

GEN. ROsECRANs.

The kanawba river is formed by the juno.
ton Of Gauley and New rivers. The Gauley
runs from the east, and New river from the
south. The main body Of Gen. Rosecrans's
army was posted In the angle between the
rivers, some regiments being several miles
distant from the point where tho rivers meet
on the left bank Of Gauley and the right bank
of New rivers Communication with the coun-
try below Is kept open along the right bank Of
the Kauawha.
On Friday Of last week, the rebels who had
appeared on the west side of New river, having
crussed 1t far above our forces by circuitous
route, began to t brow shot and shell into our
camps, We have already published accounts
Of what followed, down to Tuesday morning,
but the following from a Cincinnati paper
gives fuller details down to that time
THE rebel batteries commanded from the
west side Of the river, the road on the east side
used by Gen. Rosecrans's supply trains from
the Kanawha Falls, which 10 mile and hall
below the junction of the Gauley and New
rivers, to Gen. Rosecranss headquarters, al
Thompkins's farm, on New river, five miles
above the junction.
The supply trains of our army. therefore
have been discontinued during the day, and
are run only at night
The rebels had three batteries Of two gun.
each opposite Tomkin's farm, one opposite tc
the mouth Of Gauley and one opposite the
Kanawha Falls, the latter the most dangerous
Their firing was sharp on Monday morning
but very slow in the afternoon, aud 1t Is sup
posed that the rebels were short Of ammuni
ton.
Our artillery replied and ailenced the bat
terry opposite the mouth Of Gauley.
Two of our men and several horses wer,
wounded by shells on Monday morning.
Nothing definite is known Of the rebels but
their operations indicate desperation or grea
confidence.
Monday evening General Benham's brigade
was two miles below Gauley and It Is believed
have crossed the river during the night.
steamboat was detained at that point for trans
portatiou across the river.
The troops were ordered to prepare foui
days rations, and be ready to move.
: Gen Rosecrans had Just received batter,
! of ten Parrot ten-pounders.
The troops were confident that they coult
cross the river and bag the enemy, but SOM
expressed fears that such movements hav'
been calculated for and desired by the enemy.
Capt c. NJ. Gou!ding, direct from our army
makes the following reports at Cincinnati:
The rebel force was pronounced by scout
about seven thousand strong and under th
command of Floyd. Others did not belev,
that the force exceeded four thousand. tn,
impression prevailed among our forces tina
Floyd was personally desperate, and deter
mined to do something that would relieve hin
from the taunts of his enemies in Richmond.
Toe health Of the army was improving. Tn
troops were well clothed and supplied. Forag
for horses wis becoming scarce, and Captai
Gouldlng's object in coming to Ohio was {,
| make heavy purchases Of horse feed. Not tn
slightest uneasiness was felt as to the abil ty
' the army to sustain itself. The only questio
: was as to whether 1t could take Floyd aud h

A MYSTERY CLEARED UP.

For several days the story has been current
that nephew Of Mr.. Secretary WELLEs. who
held an official station in the navy, and who
was, not long SINCE the secretary of Commo-
dOre StringhalA, had escaped from the Pawnee,
with important information touching the grand
naval expedition, together with copy of the
naval signal book, all of which he intended to
place in the hands Of the rebels at Richmond
The sudden disappearance OF the young man
gave color to the rumor, although bis nativity
his parentage, aud his ties of consanguinity
with our loyal and patriotic Secretary of the
Navy, seemed TO preclude the possibility OF
such an event. Believing that there must be
some mistake about the matter, we gave il nc
currency, hoping that time would clear up the
mystery with which the conduct of young Hale
was cnveloped, and we have not waited In
vain, as will be seen by the suboned para
graph, which disposes OF the whole story abol
the naval traitor:
