REPORTS PROM THE SoUTu.-The Un-
ion officers recently exchanged at
Charleston, arrived at Newl olA iues, ay .
The Evening Post says they are not on
ly In good health but cheerful, and in
regard TO the military situation are full
of confidence. They are not impressed
with the strength of the rebellion; they
do not believe the rebels will triumph,
or even that they can long continue
their opposition upon the present scale !;
but, on the contrary, that our prospects
as compared with theirs were never bet
ter.
The account Of the Post says: "The
temper of the authorities, the feeling of
the people, and the necessities of the reb-
ell government indicate TO these officers
that the war, If the North is firm, will
be of short duration. That the senti-
ment for peace is extending; that Union
feeling still exists everywhere, and quite
as much in Charleston as elsewhere,
and not the less on account 0the she'll
ing that city has received, the officers
assert from facts within their own
knowledge. They have, notwithstand-
ing the guards, had good opportunity
of judging of the matters of which they
speak"
Several deserters-one of them lieu
tenant-who have reached Hilton Head
from Savannah, report, that every male
inhabitant of Georgia between the ages
of seventeen and fifty, is in the Confede-
rate service, and those between fifteen
and seventeen, and fifty and fifty-fve
are in the state militia. There are from
fifteen to twenty-five hundred troops
about Savannah. Besides troops and
women and children there is scarcely
any one in the city.

Arrival of PrIsoners 10 R,chmepd

Prisoners continue TO pour in from Grant,
army Ia sqaals of thiItiss- and ffsiUs. During
saturday The number thai so arrived and took
up lodgings at the Libby amounted 70 about
three hundred They were all the same hungry
forlofn, bluelegged, wolfish, wretched looking
set, and seem to be delighted to get their csr.
casses out of harms reach.
As \ squad of them were nearing tho prison,
a Confederate sailor, who was stan ling by,
cried out in that honest, off handed manner for
which his class is proverbisl. "Whst are you
all doing heref II we should 60 into your
country and murder and rob like you, We would
bsl swung By the halter" "Ah," replied one of
the Yankees, more honest than the resi-, "there is
no use oftskiug; you Outright us. But why don.
you whipth whole armyi" "Give US a chance, -
said the sailor, land we will. Haven't we done
it wherever we had the chsncei" That's So"
sad the Yankee, but" adding with signiR-
ctInt nod, why don't you whip the whole
sImyl" "Well," replied the sailor, didn't
tell you only give as the chance and We win"
',Sut," responded the Yankee. make the
chance. Only try il and you will do it." This
remark ia significant ss indicating tho morale
aad spirit Of Grants army. We think, like
the Yankee, five only try wo will crush his
whole army.
Another incident that occurred. AS the Van
KEGS were st a halt, gentleman, observing a
rilther good looking foreigner among the num-
ber, and stepping mp to bim said, - What, are
you down here fighting uI You are no Yam
hee" ''No, sir" said the fellow, hanging his
head '' Why, then, do you come 20 ight us y
continued the gentleman, " if you have no COM
ulon sympathy with the Yankees 70 "Well,
sir,r said the fellow, 1 will tell You. I an \
foreigner. landed in New York not more than
q month ago IgOt drunk, and tbs first thing
knew found myself in camp."
This fellows story is no doubt true. Such is
the game that is carried on in the large Northern
cities the Government agents falling upon
every emigrant ship that comes In like a hawk
upon its prey.
Many OF these prisoners seemed half starved,
and said that their army was suffering for food.
