TIE RELEASE OF PRISONERS SToPAE1.-The
Secretary of War has stopped the release on
parole of the prisoners taken at Fort Donel
son. 1t is known that an agreement for the
exchange of prisoners was made some weeks
ago under the direction of the Secretary of
War by General Wool with General Cobb
by which all Of our prisoners were to be delv-
cred to US the next day under asfag of truce
at Craney Island. A boat was ssent to re-
ceive them, but no prisoners were brought from
Norfolk The same was repeated for two days
without success. Explanations were demand
ed by General Wool, but none were furnished
Pending this breach Of faith by the rebels, all
release or exchange will be refused by the

WASHINGTON, March 26, 1862.

COLONEL CoRcoRAN.-A mystery seems to
hang about the whereabouts aud condition Of
COL Corcoran, against whom the rebels seem
to have peculiar spite. Z Col. Wood and Col
Cogswell both are represented as saying that
they had conversation with prisoners from
Charleston, who said they had not seen him for
several days previous to their quitting that
place, and inferred therefrom that be had been
either removed TO another prison or sent furth
er South. Though it is well understood that
the President has made special exertions to
procure the release of Col. Corcoran, yet it is
equally we'll understood that the rebel author
tiles will consent to give him up only condition
that Smith the condemned priVateer or private,
shall be surrendered to them.

a matter of certainty.

of the passage through Baltimore:
"We were much better received here
than l expected indeed, in no part Of
our journey was there greater display of
flags and banners, waving of handker-
chiefs, and of everything that seemed to
breathe warm welcome to the soldiers,
than when we entered the suburbs of the
city of Baltimore. AS we approached its
centre, the enthusiasm grew less, but we
were in no place in the city where there
was not several Union flags in sight"
