Tribune correspondence:
a Maj. W. NJ. Stone, of the Sd Iowa Caval-
ry, Col Miller, 18th Missouri, and Capt
Gregg, 58th Illinois, taken prisoner at the
battle of Shiloh, reached here last night
from Selma, Ala, where were confined all
the officers taken at that battle above the
rank of captain.
They were released on parole for forty
days, for the purpose of arranging gen
eral exchange Of prisoners, the only stipu-
lation being that Gen. Buekner shall be
included. lfT-Tr.l .g4
They were selected for the mission by
the prisoners themselves. They have come
via Atlanta, Augusta and Richmond and
thence back to Petersburg, and by flag Of
truce on board the Monitor.
These gentlemen report the South one
vast plantation Of corn and potatoes, only
enough cotton growing for seed. They
have seen the inside Of the rebellion, know
the enemy's strength and vulnerable
points, and only wait an exchange to give
important information. -.-a..-
AS the Government is favOrably dispos-
ed to fair exchange one will doubtless be
effected. rTt7g .I.-L--r --. -re &
The privates taken at Shiloh are at Tus-
caloosa, Ala, having been taken from Co
rinth via Memphis, Jackson and Mobile.
From the latter place all officers of lower
rank than Captain were sent to Talledega,
and those Of higher rank to Selma
The officers have generally been well

The paroled officers are surprised at the
prevailing impression that Gen. Prentiss
and his command were captured early on
the morning of Sunday, and state that the
surrender was precisely at 81 o'clock P.
NJ Of that day.
Mai. Stone, late Judge of the 9th Judi
/ cial District of Iowa, was in command of
| the 3d Iowa on the extreme right Of Hurl-
burt's division, and next to Prontiss when
the former fell back. His right remained
in support of the latter, having fought from
8 A. NJ. to PM.
On attempting to fall back, Prentiss
found himself completely surrounded,
not less than four rebel brigades being
between him and the river, when the Sd
Iowa, Hurlbuts Sth, 18th and 14th Iowa,
/ 18Th Illinois, 10th Missouri, and 18th Wis
oonsin regiments surrendered.
The committee on the Judiciary have
authorized the report of Senator Harris s
bill, creating provisional governments,
which will of course supersede the military
governments. emo
The following nominations were made
to-day for Brigadier Generals: Col. Hen

Howe, 4th Artillery.
Com. Rowan, commanding the hotilla in
the Sounds, writes that in the town Of
Kaenton the Mayor alone to his know
