EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.

The Richmond papers state that propo-
sition spending, which will result in the
exchanging Of several Thousand prisoners
at time, as facilities are ample, and the
arrangement would be mutually advanta-
geous. They also state, that owing to the
non;reccgnition of Butler, and the absence
of official communication OF the subject,
except through Major Mulford, the Assis-
-tant Federal Commissioners, it is impossible
to predict, with anything like certaintyJt the
arrival Of a truce boat from one time to an
other. The Richmond Whig is grati6ed to
state, however, that the probabilities, are
favorable to the continuance Of the exchange,
and that our gallant soldiers yetin the hands
of the enemy will soon be restored to their
families and friends. --s \

s~ A negro man who went off, with the
Yankees in Mississippi, and ran away at
Pearl River, and came home, says that Hhen
they reached that stream the blacks having
become very much dissatisfied, were called
into. line and asked if they wished to, go on
with the Yankee Army or return to their
owners, and some two hundred having de-
oided in favor of the latter, they were taken
out and shot. This negro also says that he
saw number of small children thrown in
to Peal River and drowned when crossing
it, because they were unable to keep up in
marching. 1t was for this reason that he
made his escape upon the first opportunity
which presented itself. q -; $50:

Saturday evening, division of the enc.
my's cavalry made dash upon our line near
Springfield, and was repulsed in splendid
style by our cavalry. They hoVered near
until nightfall and then withdrew.
I learn from an officer from the extreme
front, that force of the enemy, apparently
about two thousand strong, appeared near
Red Clay late yesterday afternoon, and upon
being discovered, retired in the direction Of
Cleveland, without manifesting any dispo.
sition to engage our forces. This party was
evidently sent out for the purpose Of making
a reconnaissance to discover the location of
our extreme right, in which they signally
failed, as our troops were found wide awake
Coupled with these facts, several general
officers with whom I. have conversed on the
subject, Ore of the opinion that the enemy
will soon advance upon us, without awaiting
requirements; and judging by this, we
shall soon have sharp work to do. But 1
must confess that I am 10th to believe that
Grant will attack Gen. Johnston upon the
ground of his own choosing, even with the
prestige of Missionary Ridge and Lockout
Mountain so fresh, and suffer his newly won

THE DAHLaREN PAPERS.

The Northern press. are trying mighty
hard to lie out of the papers found on Dahl
gren's person, charging that they were new
er written by Yankee authority, or were SO
interpolated, as to give different meaning
so#hat might have been orig igipally intended.
The Petersburg Express learns that, our
governments about to havethem fully and
accurately photographed and that fac sinsi-
lesof them win be sent over to Europe Tor
the purpose Of enlightening the people and;
governments there as to the real character
ofthe enemy we are fighting. This is right.
It's due to civilization thus to expose a.
broad the infamy of the worse than Huns
who have poured their brutal hordes upon
our fair land to sack our cities, to devastate
our homes, tosinsult, plunder and assassi.
nate our citizens. Let them be spread
over the whole world, that they may reap
the universal detestation and scorns which
they deserve.
The following remarks of the Richmond
Enquirer upon the desperate efforts of the
Times to break the force of the papers, ful-

Against the statement of this solitarp
correspondent of a Yankee journal, whose
