cncs between the commissioners for the ex-
change OF prisoners ON the Union aud rebel
sides. which has been published, is of curious
and interesting character. A wide difference OF
opinion exists between them rs to which side
is in arrear in paroles and exchanges, General
Meredith claiming that Mr.. Ould is in his debt
over five thousand prisoners, aud Mr.. Ould de
elaring that the Union government is acting
unfairly by the JEFF. Davis concern. aud ad.
minisicring TO General Meredith some very
severe rebukes for want OF candor and so forth.
II is quarrel which. as IL now stands may be
iliimitable, n both parties are al direct an
tagonfsm as to facts But it is evident that the
rebel agent, for ssme reason which does not
appear very manifest just now, is not willing to
settle the matter by a fair adjustment. but
rather resorts TO crotchets and quibble: to spin
out the controversy.
The rebel government nov holds fifteen
thousand Union soldiers a. prisoners and il Is
clear, from all the facts which reach us every
day concerning the state Of Affairs in the South.
that they are not able 10 keep them The pri-
soners in Richmond have been in a state Of star
vaiiou, not having had supply even OF bread
and water 10 keep soul and body together till our
government sent forward a cargo Of provisions
aud clothing. Il is clear that the rebels cannot
feed them. We hold thirty -four thousand rsbels
An our prisons. and IL the course Of Commis-
sioner 0uld Is persisted in we shall only have
10 scc which side Will have the largest number

Richmond u will come 10 this: that the rebel
prisoners will have 90 b. treated precisely as
the Union soldefs in Richmond are: and then
perhaps the rebel government will see the evils
OF the inhnmsniiy they are exercising towards
those whom the fortunes of war have left nj
their mercy. There Is nothing like little ap-
plcasion OF the ier iilios,is in desperate cases,
such A. this, TO bring people 10 their senses.
but there Is one way Of caccting release Of
our soldiers and settling the question of ex.
change without any more correspondence on
the subject, le, Mr. Lincoln give General
Meade the order TO take Richmond.
