THE EXCHANGES OF PRISONERS OF SAVANNAH,
NOV. p ao 7s' o. 'J'Hsana' D.
+ From the Savannah Republican, Nov, II.
Ool Milford, Exchange Commissioner of
the United States, arrived at Fort Pulaski
on board the steamer New York on Thurs
day night Yesterday morning. our. sick
and wounded prisoners, to the namber OF
500, arrived at the same place on board Of
some fifteen transports. During the after
noon Captain Hatch, the Confederate Com
missioner, went down aud conferred with
Colonel Milford, and it was agreed that
the transfer of our. prisoners should com
mence to-day, and progress with all practi>
cable speed. TIE this end, Captain Hatch,
accompanied by the Richmond Ambulance
Committee and number Of surgeons, will
leave the city at half past six o'clock this
morn, taking with him as transports the
steamers Beadregard, General Lee, Swan
and Ida. ....
1T is designed to bring up the GONZALES
cent prisoners and well but disabled men,
who need but little or no assistance hrst
They number about 1000 and large por
ton of them, we hope all will reach the
CITY to-day the first two boats to. arrive be-
tween II and L o'clock, and the remainder
as soon as the tide will admit Of il, during
the afternoon. About 1000 of the prise.
ners will need assistance, some 300 of them
being very sick, having suffered greatly
on the voyage. These will be brought up
on Sunday, and We hope ito see every car
riagein the city at the wharf. We are in.
formed that one hundred have died since
they went on shipboard. So great is the
inconvenience and exposure of trip by
sea, that Colenel Milford, with the eon-
sent of Captain Hatch, has engaged to de-
liver the remainder Of the prisoners inten-
ded for exchange .st City Point, on the
James river.
The Yankee prisoners in this section Of
the Oonfederacy, subject to exchange under
the present arrangement, will all be deliv
cred at Savannah, the transfer to commence
about Wednesday Mt xt.
In connection with the business Of ex.
change. we would express our qualification
on seeing in our city large detail from
that famous benevolent association, the
Richmond Ambulance Commute, who have
borne so conspicuous and useful part in
the rear Of General Lees army from the
beginning Of the war until now. They have
been with the army in every battle of inn
portance, and are among the first to be 30,
titled by Gen. Lee whenever an engagement
is looked for. They are truly good Samar,
itans, being men of wealth and high posi-
tien at home, and most Eof them hey ond the
age for military service. The coed they have
done in the field is incalculable, and in the
prosecution of their work their own pri.
vate fortunes have been largely devoted to
the cause. They have every appu tenance
necessary 10 their humane vocation, such
as hospital supplies, sugar, tea, coffee, &c,
with utensils for preparing everything on a
large scale. They know all about sick and
wounded men, how to handle them and
what they require for their comfort; and
they are now among Us to co operate With
our surgeons and citizens in receiving and
dispUsing of the large body Of our sick and
wounded about to be committed into our
hands by the enemy. We take a real
pleasure in commencing them to the cor
dial Inequalities of our people. Indepen.
dent of their noble vocation they will be
found gentlemen of the highest intelligence
and refinement. Mr.. John Finders is their
cheir chairman, and they have two able and
experienced surgeons attached to their
corps. They 90 down in the boat this NOR
ming to aid in receiving our prisoners. 81;
