thinks that, inasmuch the yankee authorities will
not agree fair exchange of prisoners it would be
a good idea for our Government to release all the
yankee prisoners we hold, and thus show to the
world what generous and liberal people we are
We think such course would be little too liberal
for our good besides, you might well cast pearls
before swine as to expect Lncolnite to recipro-

justly complains of the appointment of Consta6ies
by ma gstrates at time when there is no use
for constables. He says the magistrates of Onsiow

to the Office of constable. The effect of such ap-
pointments is to cheat the army out of men. The
magistrates who make these appointments, and the
members Of the Legislature who vote to make new
