ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, gives what purports to be the
result Of an interview between a citizen
aud President Lincoln, relative to the
exchange of white officers of celored reg
iments, as well as others. The President,
in general terms, gave the gentleman to
understand that the Government consid-
cred it unfair to make the case of a few
officers q test question when a much lar
ger number would be benefited by sthe
resumption of exchanges. He assured
the gentleman, however, that any unu-
sual or barbarous treatment of officers OF
colored soldiers would be retaliated up.

Patriotism against Extortion.

We call the attention of our readers to
the plan published in this paper, adopted
in SEINE portions of Mississippi, to sup
press extortionate prices and bring the.
necessariss Of life down to something like
reasonable prices. We are glad to notice,
also, that the farmers in seme of the
counties Of Virginis, have resolved to
supply the government with their pro-
duce 1t the prices offered, and to sell
their products to citizen consumers al
rates as low, if not a little lower, than
the government rates. This is all that
can be asked of the farmers, and if such
a determination were faithfully carried
out everywhere, we should Don have
brighter days and better times.
We hope to see the producers in every
! County in North Carolina taks a like
:. noble stand. Surely they can afford to
take s. per bushel for wheat, $40 =
barrel for corn, one dollar . pound for
bacon and corresponding prices for all
other articles. But, say they, the sner-
: NOUS prices we have to pay for groceries,
, dry goods, and every article we purchase
of merchants and manufacturers, compel
US to charge what we do for our produce.
But they seem not to consider that the
D very exorbitant prices they charge, i.
the very reason that compels merchants
: and manufacturers to charge such prices
n for what they have to sell.
o And We hope the merchants and man
~ulactursrs viii! unite with the farmers II
forming these associations, and all CLASSES
be bound together to consult and promot
the mutual advantage Of each and ALL
Something of this kind can and must b
"A done, or suffering and misery in thei
most dirsful forms will be felt by almos
every class of community. And ca
le men who have superabundance Of tn
III articles for which the masses are ~sufferin
% and starving, content themselves to hoar
it up or demand fabulous prices for it ?
v Surely, surely, it cannot be. Surely the
will net hear the cries of fanishir
women and children around them, ar
nd refuse to sell at such prices as they c:
of afford to buy! In Gods Aame-in IL
to name Of suffering humanity-in Il
srs name of that mercy which all expect
st, receive from a just aud righteous God
go we appeal to all to step forth in this ho1
20 of trial and suffering, before calamiti
he even VERSE than these overtake us, al
no anarchy and violence ovsrspread t

SUBJuGATloN AND REcoNsTRUcT1oN.-
There is no difference, remarks the Spir-
it Of the South, between the two so far,as
the total sum of property and liberty are
concerned. Both offer up property and
liberty Internationally to an sxaspsra-
ted fee. Morally, there is this differ
ence Subjugation is submission after
the power of resistance is gone, and in
some possible cases, might be the fate Of
brave men. Reconstruction is submis-
sion before the pswer of resistance j.
