PnrOied Rebel Prisoners TO FiEht-That
Message Of eff. Davis.


We learn that yesterday message from
the president was sent into congress, in secret
session, recommending that all our prisoners
who had been put on parole by the Yankee
government be released from the obligation of their
parole, SO as to bear arms in our Siiuqge for in.
dependence
The recommendation was urged as a retalia-
ton for the infamous and reckless breach of
good faith on the part of the northern govern
ment with regard to the exchange OF prisoners,
and was accompanied by the exposure of this
perndy IN a lengthy correspondence conducted
by the war department We have been ena.
bled to extract the points OF this interesting
correspondence.
1t appears from the correspondence that, at
at the time permission was asked by the north
ern government for Messrs. Fish and Ames TO
visit their prisoners within the jurisdiction of
the south, our government, while deny ing this
permission, sought to improve the opportunity
by concerning a settled plan for The exchange
of prisoners. For the execution of this pur.
pose Messrs. Conrad and Seldom were deputed
by our government as commissioners to meet
those OF the northern government under flag
OF truce at Norfolk,
Subsequently, a letter from Gen. Wool was
addressed to Gen. Huger, informing him that
he (Gen. Wool) had full authority to settle anv
terms for the exchange of prisoners, and ask.
ing an interview on the subject. Gen. Howell
COBB was then appointed by the government
to mediate with Gen. Wool and to settle n
permanent plan for the exchange of prisoners
during the war The adjustment was consid
cred to have been satisfactorily made.
1t was agreed that the prisoners of war in
