Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1862-07-25

From thu Richmond Wing, July 10.
Movements in Tennessee and Kentucky
augur well. The panic in Nashville and
Louisville shows the terror with which the
enemy always cOntemplates aggressive action
by our armies. We accept the demonstra-
tons in the west as a promise that the war is
to be pushed with vigor at all points. The
late assurance Of HepreSidem that our stand.
ards are to be borne beyond the confines of the
contederacy sent a thrill through the country.
We expect to hear soon that one of our most
energetic intrepid and successful leaders has
made good this promise of the commander
in-chiet. The summer heats which the enc
my would so gladly use in resting his army
and recruiting its broken ranks, is our oppor-
tunity. 1t will not do for us to lie still be-
cause the enemy makes no movement. That
is precisely what would suit him best. Time
to him now is everything. We must hunt him
up, give him no rest, prevent concentrations
and reintOrcements, break up his combina-
tions, and by carrying the war where we
please, instead of carrying the war where he
pleases, strike at his very vitals. Our troops
have shown that all they require is to be
shown the foe and properly led against him.
They know their strength, they appreciate the
stake for which they fight, they have meas
ured the peril and are prepared for it. OPP
portunity and competent leaders are all they
seek. 1t will be objectionable, as it will be
irremediable, if our authorities deny them
what they ask.
PRISONERS IN RICHMOND.
From the Richmond Enquirer, July 10.
The number of prisoners who had arrived
in the city at the time of the publication of
the official report in the Enquirer a few days
subsequent to the last of the recent series of
battlns bafnrn Richmond g.,
thousand. We stated at the time that several
thousand more were on the road and in the
hospitals below the city. Nearly all of these
have now been brought in, and sum up about
four thousand more, making an aggregate of
about eight thousand. Three thousand of
these are still in the Libby prison, and the
remainder have been removed to the camp at
Bell Isle. When the returns shall have been
complete, it will be found that our estimate,
some time ago, was very nearly the figure, or
upwards of nine thousand The wounds of
many of the federal prisoners brought to the
city are of very desperate character, and
although they are favored with the skill of
their own surgeons, and all the superior APP
pliances which they have at their command,
the mortality has been very great On yes
terday, twenty deaths occurred among the
number provided for at the York river rail
rOdu uelot' Many OF them complain OF their
surgeons, but we suppose the best is done for
them which their circumstances will allow
COMING HOME.
From the Richmond Dispatch, July 49,
1t has already been announced that negotia-
tons were pending between the confederate
and Lincoln governments, having for their OBJ
Ject some agreement relative to a general ex-
change Of prisoners of war respectively held
by-them Though the terms of the agreement
made between the parties have not yet trans
pired, it is known that in pursuance of it our
government commenced on yesterday to ship
possession nan an of his wounded now in our
been considerable, as many as twenty alone
dying on Thursday night. A flag of truce
will leave this morning, and going hence to
City Point will deliver up all the Yankee sur
geOns. The wounded men and officers will
go by the York river railroad, and be received
on board of Yankee vessels anchored twelve
miles below Drury's Bluff. None of those
not wounded will be sent off till all their disa-
bled comrades are gotten rid Of The batch
OF wounded that. departed yesterday left in
charge of an'army surgeon, who was duly en-
covered to hand them over the enemy.
