WASHINGTON, December 27.-The Rich
mond Enquirer Of the 18th inst. says our
Government has abandoned every point, ex-
cepting the treatment of negro prisoners
Now the simple truth is, our government
has not abandoned any point. 1t is known
that Major General Butler. who has super
seeded General M eredeth, has no SUCH in
structious. The prisoners at Forts Norfolk.
McHenry and Point Lookout, have been
placed under the exchange man for man.
and officer for officer, of equal rank with
those paroled and sent forward by him
The object is to make an even exchange as
far as the prisoners in the rebel possession
will admit and be governed by humane mo-
tives.
The effort will be made first to procure
the release of those who have for the long
est time been held as prisoners. Colored
troops and their officers, in conducting the
exchange. will be placed on an equality
with all other troops. and so Of colored men
in civil en- ployment. This is one of the
points to be hereafter adjusted. The honor
and dignity of the Government, in the pro-
lection Of such negro persons and their Off
GERS will rot be compromised. The recent
visit OF General Hitchcock to Fortress Mon
roe was to confer with General Butler and
to communicate to him the order of our
Govern m ent on this subject. The object is
to secure the exchange of an equal number
of prisoners on each side, leaving all other
questions for futher determination, the eX-
cess being largely in our favor.

The Com CRoP.-According to statistics
at Washington, our corn crop is deficient to
the extent of 10000 900 bushels. Corn
will be high for the coming year. Before
next harvest it will likely sell for 5 $50 or
more, per bushel. Indeed, every article of
food will rule high. owing to a scarcity
which will approximate as near a fam inc
as ever experienced in this countrr.

GEN SIeEL AND THE RUssIAss.-The re-

ing abolition aristocrats of that city q honor
Of the aristocratic officers of the Russian
navy have excited the indignation of
Gen. Sigel, and he doesn't hesitate to ex-
press himself accordingly. In q recent let
ter addressed to the Secretary of the Polish
committee. in response to an Invitation to
attend meeting in comm emoration of the
anniversary Of the Polish revolution, Gen.
Sigsl says:-
"During the last political campaign in
Pennsylvania. Ohio and New York, took
opportunity aud did my best to defend the
cause of Poland against Russian perfidy and
tyranny. and to show the great disadvant-
eyes and dangers of usso-Americaa
alliance.
The extravagant and exorbitant courtesies
lately bestowed upon simple visitors from
despotic and half barbarous power, by men
who call themselves "Republicans," are
sickeDing to my heart, and make me almost
despair of the common sense of the Amer
oan people. hope time will destroy this
error.

The Charleston Courier, of Tuesday, has
the following account of the recent eXplo-

From the official report it appears that a
small magazine in the south west angle Of
the fort, coniaing about $50. pounds Of
powder and a quantity of small arms, and
other ammunition. exploded about half
past nine O'Clock Friday morning. The
explosion i2nitsd al! the materials in the
room attached, killing or wounding al:
those in the immediate vicinity The
passages were instantly filled with dense
columes of smoke, introduced by blast of
great strength. This prevented any pro-
logged or successful attempt to extinguish
the FIRE. A boat from the navy, with sup
ply Of water buckets, was promptly sent to
the garrison, aud rendered all the aid in
their power. The behavior of the garrison,
under their trying circumstances deserves
the highest credit. Mr.. w. r. Cathert,
