SAFE KEEPING OF REBEL OFFIcERs.--
As the rebel officers captured are likely
to remain in custody for some time to
come, arrangements have been made for
their accom- mediation at Sandusky, Ohio,
and they are being forwarded to that
point as ra idly as possible, and all of this
class of prisoners who may fail into our
hands will be sent there hereafter, until
the rebel authorities are disposed to CIR
ry out faithfully the. cartel of exchange.
