that rebellion is the most monstrous Of

Exchange OF Prisoners.

LS The immaculate RoszELL is in
clined to think that Mr.. LIYcoLN's policy
in regard to the exchange of prisoners.
is bad one, and feelipgly adds +.
:" A soldier may be willing to face death
but not starvation, especially, when he knows
it to result solely from the unfeeling policy of
his Government"
This is but another evidence Of Mr.
RoszELLs unexampled meanness and de-
ceit, to which he is obliged 10 resort, in
order to deceive his " corporal's guard :"
of readers, and prejudice them against;
the Government. Mr.. RoszELL knows
that the true reason why our soldiers are
not exchanged as formerly, is oweng to
the bad faith of the South in putting into
active service, thousands Of paroled pris-
oners, without liberaling single man Of
ours. held by them. The thousands pa
rolled by Gen, GRANT at Vicksburg, went
over almost en- anasse to JOHNSON. and
fought against us, as though they had
been regularly exchanged. Another
reason is, that the rebels absolutely refus-
ed 10 exchange colored soldiers and their
officers upon any terms Whatever
These brave men, fighting for our Gov
eminent, and entitled 10 its warmest pro.
lection, they have declared time and
again, would be sold by-them into Slave
ry, and their officers hung to the
nearest tree the moment that they
fell into their hands. Under these cir
cumstances, it becomes absolutely nee
essary for our Government to suspend
all further exchanges Of prisoners, until
some settlement can be arrived at in the
matter. The faith Of the Government is
pledged TO its brave defenders, wether
they be white or black, and they are all
equally entitled to its mightest efforts to
protect them, and not aban don its brave
sons TO the tender mercies of gang Of
Slave holders. Mr.. RoszELL would
probably favor the idea Of carrying on a
transfer of prisoners until all but colored
troops would be exchanged, wnsn the
rebels could deal with the latter as they
pleased, without any fears of retaliation,
but the President has solemnly declared
that for every Union officer or soldier
murdered by the rebels, corresponding
number of their own men would be dealt
with in the same manner. We all de-
plore the sutferiDgs Of our brave soldiers
confined in Southern dungeons, but the
Government is making every possible
effort for their relief, by sending large
quantities of clothing and provisions
With the present stale Of affairs, the pol
icy of the Government, in regard 10
this question, is the wisest and best
that could be pursued.

How they Lie.

Nothing exceeds the audacjty with
which Copperhead newspapers will lie
and stick to it. Lies, bold and bare
faced, are, 10 them, better than the truth
Nothing is too low, or TOO mean for
them to say and swear to. provided al
ways that it is calculated to embarrass
the Federal Administration or increase
the intensity Of hate which actuates the
CoppeIhead Democracy.
Our readers know full well how their
newspapers have teemed with the black
est falsehoods, charging the Administra-
ton with robbery, murder and every
other crime known 10 the law. The last
silly charge we notice in the Dubuque
Herald and we doubt not it will be
caught up and harped on by every pen,

Iowa. The last charge is. that move

Missouri Election.

The latest election returns from Mis-
souri, indicate that the soldiers vote, as
far as heard from, not only wiped out
the Conservative majority on the home
vote, but elected the Radical State tick
Ell by majority of somewhere between
800 and 1000. The united Conser-
natives and Copperheads are making
desperate efforts 10 throw out sufficien MT
number of soldiers votes to elect the an
ti-Radical ticket. Secret circulars, post
marked at st. Louis. have been received
by the county clerks; in which studied
efforts are made to induce the clerks to
reject such votes, and AS the contest is
so close that it would be sufficient to
gain over few OF the county clerks for
his plot, il is greatly feared that the
Radical party may still be cheated out of
their victory. The time when soldiers
votes may. be received expires to- day
(Monday,) Nov. esd. The Conserva
tive conspirators do not dispute that the
soldiers voted heavily against them !;
they simply mean 10 rob the brave boys
Of their votes in case railroad accident
