WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.
First Lieut.. George Williams, of the 18th
Maine regiment, and Capt. w. w. Mayne. of
the New Hampshire 4th regiment, are gazetted
as absent without leave.
The question of retaliatory treatment of
the rebel prisoners in our hands, by placing
them on the same footing as the Union pris-
oners now held at Richmond, is now under
consideration by the government.
New YORK, Jan. 4.
The Times Washington dispatch saws the
five-twenty loan will not be Withdrawn from
the market until it is all taken. The people
will have the chance to buy it at par.
It's credibly stated that Gen. Frank Blair
has resigned his scat in Congress.
The plans recommended by Gen. Butler for
the exchange of prisoners have found favor
among the authorities here. 1t is believed
that If he should be clothed with discretion
airy power in the premises he VII not only
succeed in procuring the speedy release of all
our prisoners in the South, but will complete
ly vindicate the honor of the country and
compel retraction of the recent insults of
the Richmond cabal in refusing to negotiate
with an accredited officer of the government,
because JEFF Davis had proclaimed him an
outlaw.
The Tribune's dispatch says Although
Chief Justice fancy has improved in health,
it is not believed that he will sufficiently re-
cover to attend to his duties again.
There is but little doubt that on the reas-
sembllng OF Congress action will be taken by
which the time fixed for the expiration of the
payment Of bounties will be further extended
probably TO the LIST of February.

A dispatch was received yesterday after
noon, by the Committee of the Independent
Course of Lectures, saying that Gen. SIcKLEs
had been ordered to Washington, and would
be obliged to forego the delivery OF his lecture
In this city on Thursday evening. This was a
great though unavoidable disappointment to
the Committee, but full, adequate and rich
equivalent is afforded in the fact that his place
will be filed on that evening by Rev. DIR.
THOMPSON, Of the Broadway Tabernacle, one
of the ablest men in that city, long and favor
ably known as the editor of the Independent.
DIR. Thompson will deliver his newly pre-
pared lecture entitled, "Revolution against
Free Goyerpment not Right, but Crime"
The New York Evening Post, in notice of
this lecture few days since, said it was one
Of the most remarkable productions OF its tai
ented author, and eiIectually and conviucngly
cuts up by the roots all the claimed or assert
ed rights of the rebels to rebel against gov
eminent in which they had voice.

The CoIOred Soldiers,

We see it stated that the colored regiments
from Massachusetts, at Charleston have refused
to receive the partial pay protiered by the
United States paymasters of $40 per month,
subject to deduction of 80 per month for
clothing. Maj. Sturgis was recently appoint
ed by Gov Andrew, OF Massachusetts, to visit
them and induce them to accept from the State
Of Massachusetts, 50 per month, to equalize
their pay of white troops; but they refuse to
give up their point, by accepting the money
They claim that they enlisted as soldiers, and
that the pay of soldiers is s13 per month that
they are not "laborers in the military employ
ment OF the United States y and that to ac-
cept so per month would be to acknowledge
for themselves that status, and to place their
officers in the anomalous position OF being
commissioned and paid as commanding reg
imental organizations of laborers, which do
not and cnanot exist under the law. They
further state that they are the soldiers of the
United States, and not of Massachusetts,.
There can be but little doubt that Congress
will soon place this matter beyond all cavil.
The Conscription law makes no distinction on
account of color. Black men are placed by it
under the same liabilities as white men.
Why, then, If they equally meet the demands
of the law, and are allowed to become substi-
tutes for the whites and TO fill the State quo
tas the same as whites, and to be placed in
front and exposed to the same danger, should
they not receive the same pay? Congress
will doubtless take this view and see that they
receive full justice.

Letter of Presentation.

Rer. Il. W. Jackson, Chaplain u. S. 4.
HoSoRED SHIN presenting you with the
accompanying testimonial, it is not because of
any intrinsic value of its own, that We beg
your acceptance of the same, but in the hope
that it may serve to tell you that until Time
shall cease to be, memory will point to the un-
fading record OF your selfsacrifcing, your no.
Bile deeds, and your stern adherence to your
conntrys cause, manifested in your unfailing
efforts of devotion towards those whom the
fortunes of war have placed under your care
Your name, sir, has become identified with
many Of the suffering sons of Maine, in COM
mon with the noble heroes from other loyal
States, who have enjoyed your cheering con-
ISOLATION, and with them you will share in the
glory that will ever encircle the brows of those
who fall in defence of the Union. And when
we recall TO mind your tireless efforts. and
those of your noble lady, towards alternating
the suffering of the living, we only regret that
we cannot in more fitting manner testify our
sense of the deep obligation under which we
are resting and must ever rest to you.
Sir, few of the many who have received
your kind ministrations, can only express in
this feeble way their sense of gratitude; re-
membering that your efforts spring only from
the deepest sense of duty, and that no hope of
reward on earth lightens your weary labors,
but that your spirit looks beyond this fral ex-
istence to the Christians dover that the Mas
ter of Life awards to all who do His will. But
If the assurance that grateful hearts will ever
turn to memory's page, that bears the indeli-
BILE impress of your name, to linger with deep
est emotions there, will afford you the knowl-
edge that your labors are appreciated, that as
surance is yours, given from the hearts of those
who beg your acceptance of the accompanying
token of their highest respect and esteem.
We are, dear sir, very truly yours,

The Exchange of Prisoners.

General Butler has succeeded in eflectng
an exchange of fivehundred prisoners, but the
Rebels refuse to negotiate further with Gen.
Butler on the ground, as they allege, that JEFF
Davis issued proclamation last year declar-
ing him an outlaw. This is only miserable
and shallow pretext to force our Government
into their own terms regarding the exchange
of prisoners. And it appears the more con-
temptible in view of the fact that they have,
without any question, treated with him in re-
ceiying communications, medicines and five
hundred prisoners. General Butler, with his
usual tact, took the initiative in the exchange
of prisoners, man for man and officer for Off
Ger, and he has now put the responsibility on
the Rebels OF stopping the exchange on that
simple, obvious and humane basis, and to stop
which they were forced to fall back upon the
ridiculous pretext Of proclamation of out
lawry against man whom they never had
any control over, or any dealings with, except
as a soldier in the service of his Government
and an open enemy TO the Rebellion.
The proclamation of outlawry says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, is not worth the paper
it is written ON, and only shows impotent rage
and malignant hatred of its author. We hope
our Government will stand by General Butler
and give him chance to treat with these reb-
els at the point Of the bayonet he is the man
to bring them to terms, and they know it.
They hate General Butler, and tremble while
they hate. They have not done with General
Butler yet, and If he don't wipe out the old
score with them, we are mistaken in the man.

On New YEARS DAY, the citizens of Port
land celebrated the Presidents Proclamation
of Freedom with general demonstration and
rejoicing. In view of this event, the Demo
cratic organ of Portland said sardonically:
"a year or two ago, in the house of ongress,
Hon. +. A. Pike, OF our eastern district an
nounced programme not yet carried out in
full, which tomorrow is going to be ceebrat-
ed hero: Fight, Tax, Emancipate' These
three words represent acts in Qualification of
which the town will be very noisy to-mor-
row."
Well, the nation has fought and won; has
been taxed and has been able to bear its neces-
sary burdens; and has approved the proclama-
ton giving freedom to the slave, and taking
from rebellion its idea and power. Have they
not reason to rejoice who are about to restore
the country on the basis of entire personal
freedom? Is not this motto better than the
other-"Secede, Rebel, Fight, Tax and En-
slave PIP Press.

In starting the PORTLAND DAILY Pass the
Proprictors were influenced BY what they he
heved to be a demand of the loyal public senti-
ment OF the State, and the generous reception
winch u mas met with, and the unexpected meas
ure OF success which has uniformly attended II
thus far, afford the most satisfactory evidence 10
theproprietors that they did not msconstrue the
public demand. The Press has been in existence
but one year and half. and though il was com
menced with no previous canvassing, and with
the heid, TO superficial observer, fully occupied
by papers having old associations and honor
able antecedents, yet in its brief history il has
gained circulation never before attained by any
daily paper IN the state, and hold upon pubg
lie confidence and respect most encouraging IN
the proprietors, and stimulating to their cher
ished desire to satisfy the public wants by max
ing such paper as shall be deemed public ne
cessity by the loyal people of Maine
Though the PRESS has had success far ex-
ceeding the most sanguine expectations of its
projectors, and though comparatively few sub
scribers have been heard to complain of its ac-
knowledged DEFICIENCIES, and few demands for its
improvement have come to the notice of its nro-
prietors, and though it may have been all they
could afford to make it at the past and existing
exorbltant prices of printing materials and stock
and with its present patronage, yet the proprie-
tors have long felt that it is far short OF what
leading Journal in the commercial and financial
center OF the state should be; and that the en-
terpnse, the wealth, the public spirit and the
fast increasing population of Portland demand
and should therefore sustain, such efforts AZ are
necessary to make paper commensurate with
the growing Importance and commanding posi-
ton of their city.
The Business of this city should demand much
more space for its advertisement than her num-

rlety and Importance of the news of theday-For-

rB-The Argus informs its readers, with
evident satisfaction, that T. Butler King, Il
leading rebel of Georgia, has written letter
on reconstruction, in which he says, "If the
people of the North would now copcedc our
rights, and the Federal Government could
secure them, the danger with which zee ,rere
threatened ty remaining in The Union, and
the objection we had to it, would be removed,
and we might with honor and advantage re-
turn to it, Who ever heard OF more brazen-
faced impudence? and yet Copperhead politi-
clans would willingly see the rebels met on
such grounds; we confessing to our wrongs
towards them, and changing the Constitution
to perpetuate slavery! Their rights under
the Constitution consist in liberal supply of
rope, and we shall not regret to see them in
the full enjoyment Of them.
