'rFnE CARTEL or 1812"-Dispatches
from Richmond state that negotiations
are pending between the Confederate e
and Federal governments for an oxl
change Of prisoners con the basis OF
the Cartel 6f 1872" This was a car
tel, or agreement, for all exchange Of
prisoners, between the United States
and Great Britain, by which all pris
oners, taken by either belhgereut,
were to be paroled and returned to
their respective countries whenever a
certain number were captured, their
expenses being paid for the time being
by the Consuls Of their respective
countries and receipts and vouchers
as to rank being given and received
in all shipments. Whenever the num-
bers thus captured and paroled were
equal on both sides, they wero eX-
changed, rank for rank, with the ex-
ception of privateors, whom Great
Britain refused to recognize as men Of
wars men, and who accordingly re-
mained as prisoners until the close Of
the war.
It will thus be observed that neither
party is to retain any large number
of prlsoners--they being paroled as
fast as captured--accouuts being kept
as number thus paroled--and ex-
changed as soon as possible. AS to
the exchange Of pripateers, the FEEDER
al Government has already committed
itself on that point, by q proposition
to exchange the Confederate priva,

VIRGINIA AND MISs1ssIPPI.-When the
| history Of this cruel war shall be writ
ten, Virginia, the mother of States
will occupy a noble preeminence
among the States of the world With
unselfish patriotism, unfagging zeal
and heroic fortitude, she barred her
bosom to the rude shock of war spent
her treasures and spilled her blood
freely to obtain that liberty and inde-
pendence for which Washington and
Lafayette fought in the revolutionary
war.
Noble old State, we'll has she vim
dicated her ancient fame for lofty and
disinterested devotion to the right.
And Mississippi too peopled by
gallant sons from every Southern
States has won undying renown.
Wherever her soldiery has fought,
they have conquered or died. Having
never learned how to surrender, they
have never surrendered to an insoent
foe. Functions at home in observance
of the courtesies of life, they have
been chivalric abroad, till Mississippi
an and hcroism have almost become
synonymous.
Richmond aud Vicksburg, will
henceforth stand out before the, world
as the Thermopyle of the Southern.
Confedefacy.~ From Them the tide of
invasion has been rolled back. Her
citizens sternly resolved that the cue.
my should not possess them, but in
ruins. Nor yet is there any probahil-
ity that a wicked, relentless foe will
possess them at all, Other States and
other cities have deserved and do now
deserve undying gratitude, but at this
moment, Virginia and Mississippi,
Richmond and VicksburG are most
conspicuous for decisive acts bearing
on the destinics Of our great republic.

The Morning Herald, in an editorial
contends that the restoration of the
Union would be calamity not only for
Europe and England in particular,
but for the North. It declares that
the Union had become nuisance
among nations. Secession is favora-
bic to England. Self interest would
have justified interference before this
mad not international mortality forbid
it. Even now, If there was any hope
Of an early settlement, no one would
dream of interfering,
AS matters now stand, however, the
Herald thinks it is true that some de-
cided action should be taken by
France and England in behalf of JUS
tice aud humanity, as well as the pro-
lection of their halfruined manufae.
tories and hungry operators. Such
actions must be taken at last, as i'm
possible things cannot be long allowed
to remain. It is most improbable that
there will be any change in the as Sect
Of American affairs that will bring us
relief, and if we are to act after all, it
will be saving needless misery to act
at once with gentleness and courtesy
but with immovable frmness in word.
