The Assembly yesterday lud over the con.
current resolution soliciting the Government to
arrange for an exchange Of prisoners with the
rebels, after remarks 10y Mr. speaker RAYM oND,
10 which he directed attention TO the ditlicul
ties In the way Of efectiDg an exchange without
such recognition Of the rebel title to bellger-
ent rights as might prove a source Of serious
embarrassment to Us in the future. Mr. RAY
aoSD correct ID the erroneous impression that
We had precedent for the course proposed in
the ey change of prisoners between Englaud, and
the Colonies she was treating as rebels, in the
war Of the Revolution.
On the contrary, the exchanges made at that
time were in every case arranged by the en-
erals In command OF the British army, who re-
fused to apply to their Government for authorl
ty, Oh the ground that such authority would
carry with It the recognition o. he claim of the
Colonies to belligercnt rights, and Tor this rea
son all the attempts 10 arrange a legslized an
general system of exchange utterly failed.
Holding towards the rebel states, as We do, the
position assumed toward Us at that time by
ENGLAND, we must follow the course pursued by
her, much az we may desire 10 release our brave
soldiers now in the hands Of the enomy. 1t il
satisfactory TO think however that in the ab
senco of any regular system Of exchange, SO
many Of our men are finding their way h IN,
through the means of that tao understanding
with the rebels, in accordance with which W,
are to release as many Of their men as they d.

Rinancierina fer the War.

Plain common-eensc business men wonder At
the dainty fnanciering for the war. Accustom
ed ~ they are TO look difficulties square in the
fac,, snd call things by their right names, they
regard the whispering and chAfering, the hest.
tating and discussing between Heads Of Depart
msnts and Committees, Bank Officers and Sub
Trcasurcrs as ssvoiing Of Political trickery and
mspsgsment-in short, they begin to see very
large Niger in the fence" They understand
very clearly that great war canno, be carried
on without large outlay Of money and they
Understand alec that mere promises to pay are
hd rony, whether they are the promises Of
individuals, corporations or governments.
What is still more 10 the point, those com.
nonsense business men are part and parcel of
the very people who have been, for mauy
months, urgently testifying to the Government
their resdirsts to sustain whatever measures
are necessar, TO put down the rebellion. They
have understood, from the outset, that thoy
were TO be called upon ter money, and they
have the money waiting. To them. the order

From Port Royal

Az EXPEDITION AGAINST SATA NSAH.
The EyENING Posi- learns from responsible
sources that the expedition from Port ROYAL
against Savannah, which has been 80 long pro.
missed, is supposed to be at last in progress.
Accommodating parties, and corps ordered out
for the purp SO of clearing the way for Pun-
boats, have, since the ith VT 9th Of the past
month, been sent from Hilton lIoad, aud have
proceeded southwark beyond Tybce Island. II
VAS understood at Port Royal that those corps
were provided with saws and apparatus for
dragging logs Of wood out Of those rivera
or navigable creeks south OF the Savannah
Riyer-prohably the Wilmington--into which
the rebels have sunk distractions, evidently
surprising that they had destroyed tho nayiRa-
bilty Of the streams.
II was further understood that this expedition
was to 10 carried on both 10y water and land, and
that the land force would consist Of about halt
the troops under the command Of Gen. Sher'
man or ten thousand men. This number, IL
was thought, could be safely spared, as there Is
little danger that the rebels will undertake e
cross any Of the rivers for the purpose OF attack
ing our troops. The Wabash and the gunboau
we're IT Hilton head, and could be al once place,
in readiness 10 undertake their part Of the cor
