We copy the following communication from the Macon
TELEGRAPH. 1t is correct view of the sentiments of
soldiers in the Army of Tennessee. They willing
main the service long the invader shall remas
our SOIL but in their services they ask that
who have furnished substitutes and remained at
the purpose Of making fortunes shall share dangers
of battle field and the hardshps OF soldier life,
that cur country stands need OF their services They
also Justly demand that the people at who are bless
ed with riches shall suffer their families but
will assist them in the spirit of charity, but duty
they owe to our defenders.

Butier's views the refusal Con ~.dt rates
TO continue ts.e Exchange PEisoness

TO continue tae 4 Xchange OF Prisoners.
A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing
from Fortress Monroe December 29h, is very ndjg-
nant at the action of the Confederate Government p
refusing to continue the exchange of prisoners in
cordance with the wishes OF the Y ankee Government
The correspondent says:
l have conversed with Gen. Butler on these matters
He tells me that the rebel Commissioner of Exchange
Mr. Ould insists that unless the Emitted States give up
all claims which they have made in behalf Of their own
soldiers who are prisoners OF war; consent to sacrifice
the coored sodlers pass over their officers or punish
ment under special law made for their punishment by
the rebel Congress, and employ another Commissioner
OF Exchange to represent the United States, no eZ-
change can be effected. This, you see pretty much
have stated it on the authority of other sources
The General thinks that there is but way to meet
this new state OF things and that is by the sernest re-
taliation.
He sneered at the threat held out in Jefferson Davis
proclamation against himself and his officers and declar
ed that if hair the head of one of his officers or
soldiers be injured except 10 just warfare the day that
that is done shall be day OF sorrow and mourning for
all included in the called Confederate States Of
America" He pronounced the interruption of the ex-
change on Sunday, by the Richmond Cabinet fetch.
He now thinks that our Government, having ex-
haused every form of appeal to the rebel Government
to exchange prisoners whom they cannot save from
vation- state of things which all writers on the
ges and laws of nations declare to be just grounds tor
the men so held by enemy to be berated-there is
nothing left to the United States but to authorize that
sucelL EGnner OF reDel CcerS De placed under such
keeping and be put up such diet shall In all
specs correspond to the treatment to clothing food
and fuel that wretched men receive 10 the stencil
houses of the rebel capital did not think The Gen
era in any degree excited, but be emphatic in all
that he said in regard to retaliation and think he
but interprets in all this nothing than the
mon feeling of the whole army.
1t is evident that be thinks the time auspcious for
an appeal to tie nation for be reasons the coun-
try having exhausted negotiations, couciIiatlo4
aud offers of pardon, it is time 10 call upon the loyal
North for volunteers to relieve the national prisoners
confined at Richmond and there be,'' he added
i" sir, no occasion for bounty other Inducements to
fill up armies" why" he remarked, the
rebels could have done no better thing to unite tie
North to revive the spirit evoked throughout the
nation to the point at which it stood upon the receipt
of the intelligence of the attack on Fort SUMTER
And | believe all this to be true ard further, that
an, loyal dsoyal, would dare to raise his voice in
opposition to such appeal for succof for the national
prisoners.
