About Exchanging prisoners.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The Richmond
Enquirer, of the 18th, says our Govern
ment has abandoned every point except
the treatment of negro prisoners. Now
the simple truth is, our Government has
not abandoned any point 1t is known
that Maj. Gen. Butler, who has superced-
ed Gen. Meredith, has no such instruc-
tons
The prisoners at forts Norfolk, Nc
Henry, and Point Lookout, have been
placed under his orders, and he is au-
thorized to conduct the exchanging of
man for man and officer for officer of
equal rank, with those paroled and sent
forward by himself The object is to
make an even exchange as far as the
prisoners in rebel possession will admit,
and, governed by humane motives, the
effort will be made first to procure the
release of those who have for the longest
been held as prisoners. Colored troops
and their officers, in conducting the ex-
change, will be placed on an equality
with all other troops, and SO of colored
men in civil employment This is one
of the points, therefore, to be adjusted.
The honor and dignity of the Govern
ment in the protection of officers will
not be compromised
The object is to secure the exchange
of an equal number of prisoners on each
side, leaving all other questions for fu-
ture determination-the excess being
largely in our favor.
