The Daily Ners Of Saturday last published q
letter from Beverly, New Jersey, in relation TO
the treatment Of soldiers in tho u. s. Hospital
there, prefacing it with characteristic comment.
charging that the soldiers were receiving worse
treatment than was ordinarily accorded to the
" brute creation" insnuating that this was with
a deliberate intention Of numbering the sick and
wounded. Such devilish malice, 80 reckless of
truth and ofcommon sense, ought to be mpotent.
and is utterly unworthy Of reply, were i. not
that the general charge Of improper treatment of
the inmates Of the Beverly Hospital may cause
some anxiety among those who have friends
there and who have no means Of learning tbe
real facts. We know, from source that cannot
be impugned, that these complaints against tho
of that particular Institution are
totally groundless; that DR.. Wagner the Sur
geon in charge, is a most skillful and humane
man. whose course is entirely approved BY the

GA despatch from the Army of the Potomac
says that the destruction Of the Weldon road,
50 far az it is held by our troops, is complete,
and that nothing will be left Of it but the gra-
ding and embankments. A position taken at
70 much cost we presume is not to be aban-
doned, but that the army has made, or will
make, such intrenchments as will enable them to
hold 1t against the enemy. The destruction Of a
railroad past repair is difficult matter, and we
have yet to learn that it has ever been so effect
ualy done that the rebels have not been able, in
short time, to repair the mischief II is very well
known that the rebels have extensive works for
the manufacture of such railroad iron as answer,
at least, a temporary purpose, if no more
Should they again get possession of the Weldon
road it is by no means certain that they will not
soon put it in running order. and recover the
advantages OF which this successful movement
has deprived them. We presume, therefore, the
position will still be held if it is possible to hold
it, Gen. Warren is still advancing, and has
approached mile nearer Petersburg, where
the rebels are busily entrenching, az if appre.

The denial. which We publish this morning
among our Washington dispatches, of the truth
of the persistent report that peace Comniis-
s.oners are to DO sent 10 Richmond, and that
an srmistice has been, or is to be proposed
seems to us somewhat supererogatory. When
MIR. Lincoln proposes to do either, it may be
reasonably presumed that he will keep his own
counsel, and that when they are done they viii
be permitted to become the subject Of newspaper
gossip, and not before.

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.

There are some 5000 Union soldiers now
penned up in naked field near Anderson,
Gcorgia--eIposed to all the inclemercics of the
weather. and furnishing, siokening and dying,
or each, by hundreds weekly. They would
shelter themselves if permitted to cut timber
for that purpose; 80 that, while their suilerings
from hunger are probably occasoned in part by
the poverty of the Rebels, their other suifering-
are mainly wanton, willful cruelties. Yet there
they are, and there they must remain till ex-
changed, unless liberated by victory or death.
What should our Government do to secure a
speedy release Of these hapleSs patrotsi
First, let US see what it has already done.
There are serious disputes between the re-
spective Commissioners Of Exchanges. Gen
erals on either side have dsregarded the paroles
given by some Of their men who lad been taken
prisoners. We claim large balance of paroled
men now due Us (mainly taken by Grant in his
vcksburg campsign), which claim is somehow
disputed or demurred TO. But this has not stop
ped exchanges.
The Rebel Government has hitherto refused
to exchange or treat os prisoners Of war any
black soldiers captured by them. But this
position is so maniestly wrong that it has at
last been greatly modified preparatory. we
trust, TO its complete REIMBURSEMENT. The
Rebel War Office has recently ordered that
blacks enlisted in free States, and not proved
to have been slaves to Confederstes, shall
henceforth be treated. if captured, As prisoners
Of war. Here is clear confession that our
Government has hitherto been right with regard
has right 10 dictate to another the color of
his soldiers. If any are still treated otherwise.
it must be on one Of these grounds !. They
are slaves Of Conledcrates 2. They arc SUBJ
jects of one or another of the seeded States;
or, 3. Theirtreatment is coniessedly wrong.
Now the Rebel armies are mainly Differed aud
wholly commanded by men educated under the
direction and at tho expense Of tho Union--men
who have solcmnly sworn allegiance to the
Federal Government, and most of whom have
been officers in the Federal army. Lieut. Con.
Pemberton, who surrendered vicksburg; Major.
Gen. Gardner, who surrendered Port Hudson;
Gen. Simon Il. Buckner, taken with Fort Done-
son, are conspicuous examples Of Rebel leaders
who were citizens ofloyal States. Our captures
Of Rebel soldiers, who were citizens of loyal
States, are already numbered by thousands.
We exchange all the prisoners we take, except
spies or deserters, during this war, from our
armies in face of the enemy, and We ask the
Rebels to do the same. What we propose Is to
give man for man, rank for rank, till one side or

We publish in another column the brief and
modest dispatch of Gen. Wesley Merritt to Gen.
Torbert upon the engagement at Front Royal
on the I4th inst. Gen. Merritt was in CON-
mand of the Division, consisting OF TWO Bngade'
under Gen. Custer and Col. Devlin. since pro-
NOTED for gallant conduct in the field. The
enemy had, crossed the river at Front Royal
but were met, driven back and utterly routed
with heavy loss. We published at ths time a
full report of this wel-ivught and decisive bat
tie, and refer to it now because due credit does
not seem to have been given anywhere 10 Gen.
Merritt for the mo terly disposition and hand
ling of his force. While great praise is due Ia
his Brigade commanders, Gents. Custer and
Deylin for their conduct in the battle, they are
both too good soldiers to accept exclusive hon
ors for an action where the perils and tolls oi
the day were shared With them by their COM
handing officer.
