trial, the parties talked it over and came
within IS of a settlement. But there

MCCLELLAN. - The Army and Navy
Journal makes fair review of some
portions of fMcClellans report, and comes
to this general conclusion.
awe have not hesitated to speak in
praise of General McClellan's ability as
q cabinet strategst. We think him en-
titled to the highest praise in this re-
spect. But when we come to consider
him as commander in the field, it is
more difficult to render him exact JUS
tice. With all his ability, which is un-
questionable, we find him lacking, at
the start, something of the dash of a
successful fighting general. We detect
In his early campaigning a caution that
/. argued a lack of self-contidence. and
while his theoretical combinations and
tactical movements eyinced generalship,
there was deficiency of boldness and
rapidity. But watching his career in
the field 1t was easy for close observer
to see growing confidence in himself
and greater ease in welding large
masses of men without confusion. and
to produce desired results. The Seven
Days Battles were admirable in this re-
spect, and at Antietam he evinced fine
qualities as fighting general"

Editor Rutland Herald The two pass
days have been extremely warm-eyen
hot like June - windows and doors
thrown open, and we had to seek the
shade for comfort On the 28th inst,
the mercury stood at 70 degrees in the
shade-90 in the sun; the Goth inst. it
stood at SO degrees in the sun, Perhaps
the good people of the Green Mountain
State, who are so fortunate as to read
the HERALD, may think this rather fer
vent for the middle of winter, and /
think SO myself To-day every thing
seems changed; the atmosphere is filled
with moisture, and feels chilly, We have
had but one fall of snow, on Monday,
the 4th inst 1t remained for about two
weeks, disappearing gradually each day
until it was all gone, and the ground be-
came dry. New Years the weather was
quite mild early in the morning, but at
0 O'Clock A. NJ, it began to grow cold
The change was very sudden and severe
the afternoon and the night following
was extremely cold--perhaps the coldest

A word about the LIST Vermont artil-
lery regiment, although the regiment
really speaks for itself This makes out
to be the largest regiment now in the
United States service--numbering ,S3S
men, One more man would make the
regiment full, 1889 being maximum
artillery regiment. Yesterday the Colo
mel, wishing to see his regiment togeth-
er in line, assembled it at Fort Slocum
(head quarters) at o'clock P. NJ The
artillery State colors were brought forth
and the regiment formed, passed twice
in review, the Colonel commanding, af-
ter which we attended dress parade. The
line was very long. The regiment is be-
coming disciplined very fast, as the sew
eral companies are under thorough drill
every day. The elements which consti-
tute the true soldier are constantly kept
in view for the true soldier may be justly
considered the pride of his country. He
has placed himself between his country
add IFS enemies, roady TO parry all blows
intended for it's destruction. Washing
ton was a soldier as well as Statesman,
and he was no less an ornament and an
honor to his country while on the battle
field, than in the forum.

QUESTION OF EXCHANGES.

10 the Rebdtipss as,d Friends of Confederate
Sbtdtsrs oenjt11<d tn Northern Prisons.
On the 22d Of July, ls6s. tho Cartel of Ez-
change was agreed upon. TAa ehief, if not
only purpose Of that instrument, was to secure
the release Of all prisoners of war. To that
end, the fourth article provides that oil pris3n-
ers Of war should be discharged on parole in
ton days after their capture, and that the pF-
soners then held, and those thereafter taken'.
should be transported to the points mutually
agreed upon, at the expense Of the capturing
party. The Sixth article also stipulascs sha:
"all prisoners, Of whatever arm Of service, arc
to be exchanged or parolsd in ten days FROM the
time of their capture, il it bo practicable to
tranefer them to their own liues in that time;
If not as soon thereafter as practicable.
From the date Of the Cartel until July, 1868,
the Confederate authorities held tho excess Of
prisoners. During that interval deliveries
we're made as fast as the Federal Government
furnished transportation. Indeed, upon more
than ono occasion, srged the Federal autho-
rites to send increased means Of transports-
ton. As ready as tho enemy has always been
to bring false aocuss1onS against rs, it has
never been alleged tbst We failel or neglected
to make prompt deliverieo of prisoners who
were not under charges, when we held the ex'
CESS. On tho other hand, during tho same
time, the Cartel was openly and notoriousiy
violated by tho Federal sathoritiss. Othcers
and men were kept in osuai conaneusnt SOME
time? in irons OF doomed gels, without charges
