somewhat largely at our breakfast tables, it may
not be uninteresting to learn, as we do from the
Ceylon Times, that the weather has been most fa-
vorable in that country for the growing crop. The
Times says: "The planters appear to be unaui-
mously of the opinion that the present blossom is
as fine as any they have had for many years, and
that with ordinarily favorable weather, we may
hope to ship during the season Of 1923 a larger

to the poor so we can now enjoy our luxurics
both foreign and domestic, feeling that the extra
price paid for them is so much donated to the ma

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.

THERE seems TO be a disposition mani
tested by some in favor of a general en-
change Of prisoners with the so-caled
Southern Contederacy, but the policy in
wolves serious misgivings of practicability.
In the first place the most reliable accounts
from the South all agree that the Union
prisoners are generally half-famished, while
the rebel prisoners among us are we'll fed.
The rebels are deficient in surgeons and in
medicines, and our soldiers suffer in conse-
quence, especially if wounded, while those
we hold as captives are we'll cared for In
view of this fact, a fair exchange would be
desirable but, there are other considera-
tons to be taken into the account. The
rebels, 50 far, have refused to enter inta
as would virtually be recognition of the
South as an Independent power at war
with the United States To do this would
simply be inviting Europe to acknowledge
the same independence, only in more ex
press terms and then all unite in demand.

and South. If exchange can be effected on
the mutual agreement system, as here

Forty-SiX Years Ago.

IL 1916, Dewitt Clinton wrote letter to Mr..
Adams, of Cincinnati, appointing him agent for
Ohio to receive contributions of the farmers and
others TO aid in building Canal from the Hudson
River to Buffalo, on Lake Eric, the original copy of
which has by Mr. Adams been presented to the
Pioneer Association of Cincinnati Things have
Slightly changed since that time. The Canal was
constructed and Ohio and the broad West has been
and is now being enriched which went begging in
its infancy. 1t has done and is doing business
which would astonsh far-seeing and hopeful
mind of the old Governor, were he now living
Meantime the country has grown completely up
through the Canal era nsomuch that their CON
structOn has become obsolete. How some little
things things which were little thought of in the
past grow into importance with age This letter was
little thought of when pcnned, but now becomes
provocative of thought. Some there be yet among
us who will, remember the time in which ii was
written. So says the SmdBky Register.

The Latest News.

THE telegraph brings exciting news from
Tennessee While Gen. Buell. has been
Court-martialng officers and conciliating
rebels down at Huntsville, the enemy has
appeared at Murfreesboro' thirty-two miles
from Nashville, and taken the city, capturing
q Michigan regiment. Minnesota regi-
ment refused to surrender, and had fought
the rebels desperately. Nashville dispatch
cs state that an attack on the city was ap-
pretended, and that arrangements had been
made to burn it rather than surrender to
the rebels. Important demonstrations were
also made at Corinth, by rebel cavalry.
Taking the news from Tennessee and put
ting it with that from Kentucky, we find
that notwithstanding the large army we have
outside, few thousand rebels are doing
more harm to the Union men, within our
lines, than we have done to rebels with an
army of two hundred thousand
It is also reported that General Mcclellan
had had another battle with the rebels, in
which the latter were defeated and COM
PEELED to fall back. Reports from Fortress
Monroe that heavy firing had been heard in
the direction of Harrison's Landing, and a
dispatch from General Mcclellan, III which
there is an apparent allusion to II fight hav
ing occurred, give some probability to the

position, known to and conceded by the
rebels, would seem to have induced much
caution on their part. Geu. Burnsidc's
forces have been landed at Newport News
while Magruder is said TO be moving down
the Peninsula.
Washington dispatches state that the
President invited the Southern Congressman
to a conference, at which he urged them to
consider his scheme of compensated cman-
cipation informing them that unless this
was adopted the necessities Of the crisis
would bring about the freedom of the slaves
in a much less agreeable manner. The in
