THE EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.


We have official information that the Confederate
authorities baye offered to exchange ficer for oicer
and man fdY man with the Federal authorities -
Heretofore the point Of contention has been the de-
livery of the excess Of prisoners; our Government
insisting upon the terms of the cartel, which re-
quired the delivery of all prisoners on both sides
within ten days, where practicable the excess TO be
on parole. Owing, however, to the large number
held on each side, and the sutfering consequent
upon their confinement, the Confederate Govern
ment has abated portion Of its just demands under
the cartel, and offered 10 accept the proposal
heretofore made by the enemy, VIZ. to exchange
officer for officer and man Tor man, leaving thu eX-
cess, if any, i'll their hands ugtl Other captures
were made This last Offer Of Government,
though made early III the month, has not yet been
accepted seeming to show persistent purpose on
the part of the enemy to refuse all offers of ex-
change, even upon terms offered by themselves. We
understand the correspondence ON this interesting
subject addressed to the Federal Government, as
well as the history OF the efforts Which have been
made by our authorities 10 relieve the prisoners IT,
spectively held by the two Governments will shortly
appear

REsIaNATIoN OF \ fELgGRAPH SUPERISTENpKST-
Mr.. James r. Dowell, General Superintendent Of
the Southern Telegraph Company, has resigned that
position 1t is no idle compliment tosthis most eifi =
cient officer to say that his loss will be regretted by
the public at large. For many years he has been
to the telegraph system at the South what good
Postmaster-ienera is to the mails and under his
administration we have had hardly cause tor COM
plant. We hope that his long and extensive ex-
perence is not at this time particularly to be lost
from his profession and that his absence from it
may ba of short duration.
