No MORE ExCHANGEs.-Through the infa-
nous behavior of the Yankees in refusing to ap-
point some one to succeed Butler as Commissioner
of Exchange, We suppose tho whole matter is at a
dead halt, and that the captives on both sides
must suffer and endure while the war lasts. But
on the Washington authorities must rest all the
blame. The Examiner says:
"Commissioner Ould, who went down to City
Point to have an interview with Captain milford,
of the Federal flag of truce boat returned to Rich
mond on Saturday. We understand that the Fed
eral Governments insists the negotiation of the
cartel through Butler, and will not replace him by
official less Objectionable to the Confederate
Government Buffers policy is to effect an ex-
change to the number of prisoners held by US, and
to hold the balance in their hands. Commission
er Guild insists carrying out the conditions of
the cartel, which provides that all prisoners over
and above the equitable number held on either
side shall be paroled.
The Commissioner thinks it is the settled deter
mination of the Federal Government to break of
all further exchange Of prisoners, and that they
have placed Butler in control of the cartel as a
means to that end, fully aware that the Confede-
rate Government could not without humiliation,
treat with him"

The Pennsylvania Legislatu,e-A dead Lock -
A letter from Harrisburg, Pa, says the Pennsyl
vana Senate is at dead lock, because of the alb
sence of Senator White, at the Libby Prison. He
was captured at Winchester. The letter says:
He has been retained ever since, though rebel
Maj. Jones, after giving his parole, went to Rich
mond, confident he could effect an exchange from
his personal and political influence in the South.
He failed but came back and delivered himself up
TO the authorities at Washington. Brgadier-Gen.
Meredith, then Commissioner for Exchange of
Prisoners, asked for especial exchange for him
because of his Importance a witness in the Mil
roy Court of Inquiry. Commissioner Ould is re-
ported to have replied, with his digitals in front
of his proboscis, that his importance as acitness
was felt at Harrisburg, and not at Baltimore. His
sympathizers seem to think at this point Maj
Whites detention is of immense Importance to the
rebels, if they aud their Pennsylvania Senatorial
confreres can thereby disorganze the Government
of a great Northern Commonwealth like ours"
lThe "rebeI Maj. Jones' mentioned above is Major
E. P Jones who in this place few weeks ago on
visit to his relations. The Confederate authorities
have very properly refused exchange Major White,
whom the Lnconites anxious get back in order
give them the ascendancy in the Pennsylvania Lee
gislature. We should be gratiied if Maj Jones could
be released but we do not think isolated exchanges
ought to be allowed by government. One is
as MUCH entitled to exchange another

CRowDING:--It is stated that Gov. Vance has
appointed Hon. Edwin G.. Reade of Person county,
to fill the mexpired term of Hon. Geo. Davis in the
Confederate Senate. Mr. Reade is one of the
Judges OF the Superior Court, member of the In
ternal Improvement Board, and Confederate Sena-
tor. This. we should say, was ."crowding" the
honors upon one man. We do not object to the
appointment of Mr. Reade as Senator, but we do not
think any man while holding the Office of Judge
should be allowed to hold any other office at the
SANG time; and the Consultation of the State

says he received letters addressed by His Holiness
to the venerable chiefs Of the Catholic Clergy in
New York, and is deeply sensible of the christian
character and sympathy with which his holiness
has twice urged upon them to use every exertion
for the restoration of peace. He, therefore, in the
name of the people of the Confederate States, of.
fers the expression of sincere and cordial aP-
probation of the christian charity and love by
which his holiness is actuated, aud assures him
that we are now and ever have been, earnestly de-
sirous that this wicked war shall close aud that
We desire no evil to our enemy, nor coyet their
possessions, but are only struggling thai they may
cease to devastate our land, and that may be
permitted to live under own laws and iasttu-

ustrious and honorable Jefferson DAVE, President
of the Confederate States of America Richmond.
He says that sit is very gratifying to recognize
that the people Of the Confederate States are ami
mated by the same desire for peace and tranquility
inculcated In the aforesaid letters. Oh that the
other people of the States and their rulers would

not cease to implore God to pour out his spirit of
