EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. -We see It sta
ted in despatch from Washington that the
rebel leaders have played false in the matter
Of exchanging prisoners of war. Having re
covered $500 of their men from US, after the
capture of Roanoke Island, they now refuse
to complete the exchange. Coils. Corcoran
and Wilcox are still held as prisoners in
Richmond. The subject has attracted tie
notice of Congress, and yesterday Mr.. Anco-
ma of Pa. introduced resolution requesting
the Secretary Of War to inform the House
the cause, if any, Of the prOtracted delay in
the release Of Col. CorcOran, prisoner oil war
since July, and that the Secretary be direct
cd and requested to stop all exchanges of
prisoners until Col. Corcoran IS released.
The rebel leaders act consistently; their
entire enterprise began and has been carried
on in treachery, thievery. falsehood and cru
city.

Gen. Pope and staff rode over the ground thi.
morning, and were astonished at the great
strength Of the work. and the splendid prize OF

accommodate 5000 men-left standing.

shelled corn-enough to make musn ior all ire

were tumbled over the banks.

The y Orleans Crescent has a Richmond
correspondent who expresses ,ha public con-
sternation in q very lively way, AS VIII be
seen BY the following extracts
You will naturally desire to know how the
people in the Confederate metropolis stand these
trying times-for it is evident that We are not
safe in these days Of light draft eunboats ana
high water. / answer, in the main, We stand IL
very well. Some, to be sure, arc down hearted,
and nobody wears as broad grin they did the
day after the bittle Of Jeesburg. still there is a
universal determination TO do or die-to 70 down,
if need be, with our harness on, Narring like
brave people to the last. I passed Gen. Wigfall
on my return from dinner, and asked him if there
was any news. No, said he, don't bciieve We
have been whipped since elmer; expect, though,
to hear Of another defeat in the next five min
utes
Somehow l can't help thinking Of Hsileck's
assertion by telegraph 10 Mcclellan, that the
Union flag is on the soil Of Tennessee, never to
be removed This is brag, but the Yankees have
up TO this time, stuck like leeches wherever they
have effected 4 landing. They entrench them
selves, and at the first spade-full Of earth thrown
up by them, our Generals give right up and say
all Is lost. They have attacked Us repeatedly in
trenches and forts, AID carried the latter nvara-
bly,, while we, with the exception OF the st.
Nicholas affair and few others, have not done
daring thing through the whole war. Another
noticeable difference between the Yankees and
ourselves is that they follow up their victories,
while we squat down in our tracks the moment a
battle is ended. This is a shameful fact, which
disheartens me more than anything else. l have
no hope now 10 anybody but God and Besure-
