Why THE REBELS REFUSE TO EXCHANGE
PRIsoSBRs. The Fortress Monroe cor
respondent of the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser has the following with
reference to the refusal of the rebels to
assent TO cartel of exchange:
When Butler assumed command of
this Department, the peoples heart beat
high with hope, and forgot for the mo-
ment their solicitude for the brave hearts
languishing in misery in their joyous
anticipations of their speedy release,
which unlimited faith in Gen. Butler in
spired. Boundless as the confidence
was, it was worthily bestowed; and but
for the renewed obstacles which the reb-
els, with devilish ingenuity have put in
the way, the exchange would have been
consummated long since.
To those acquainted with the charac-
ter of the rebel leaders and understand
their motives of action, the difficulty is
clearly eomprehended and admits of the
following calculation The straits of
the Confederacy are so stringent that
any bubble or makeshift seems to their
distempered fancies sound craftsmanship
and high toned honor--hence the delay
in making the exchange-which pro-
ceeds from desire ON their part to de-
fer it until the time for opening the
Spring campaign, when they will be but
| too willing to exchange the emaciated
frames and broken constitutions of our
noble fellows for the well-ted, highly
conditioned rebel prisoners in our hands,
who will be much better fitted for the
field and its fatigues than any they can
place there.
Intensely elated over their fancied
shrewdness in oyerreaching the Yankees,
they imagine their motives unsupported;
| but as usual they reason falsely, ana
forget the comprehensive mind of the
man who enjoys the united hate of reb-
ell. and copperheads to a greater extent
than any one connected with the Gov
ernment, to whom no obstacles are in
surmountable, and who, when unable to
move mountain, discovers some way
of avoiding it. He will not fail in the
end, as you will see, and have not the
least apprehension of the rebels gaining
the advantage, as he is the ablest tt
! cope with their chicanery as most apt a.
discerning their concealed interests -
