What, may We ask, IN the name Of hu
mainly, prevents our administration effect
ing an exchange of those unhappy men
whose condition would excite the pity OF
savages2 The Confederates are and have
been for some time willing to exchange man
for man and officer for officer with our adj
and to leave the large excess
of prisoners in our hands still with Us, and
not ask single man on parole. The rea-
son is palpable. Thousands of those poor
sufferers term of service is ont for months
of them can never be Of any
further use to any body-broken down in
body and mind as they are from captivity;
therefore our rulers quietly resign them to
their miserable fate. Oh, the humanity
that weeps over Pompeys and Ssmbo's
condition, and leaves the white soldiers
who have fought and bled for the Union to
B fate such as they are enduring, and never
extend helping hand to save them, OBJ
that humanity, how sincere, how noble,
how true Out upon you hypocrites
Well, indeed, might we apply to these un-
happy prisoners the line of Byron

SHREVEPORT, Nov. IA, 1909.
EDITOR DALLAS HERALD THE past week
has furnished us with news from Virginia
of cheering character. The dispatches
from Richmond are full and volum nous
Gen. Lees official dispatch shows that he
has driven the enemy from all the advanced
positions, and re-established his old lines.
The fight occurred on the Darbytown road,
on the 28th Oct, made by Malone with
brigades in front and Hampton in rear
Malone captured three stand cOlors, pie
ces artillery, latter not brought of. After
wards Malone broke through their line OF
battle, and during the night the enemy re-
tired from the Boydston road, leaving their
wounded and $50 dead on the field. Hill
captured 400 prisoners and stand Of col
ors The enemys loss was hesvy, ours
slight We captured large numbers of prs-
oners, small arms, caissons and wagons.
From Georgia, no definite intelligence
has vet reached us here. Hood movements
are not made known to the public. Forrest
has blockaded the Tennessee river-so say
Yankee dispatches, while our accounts lead
us TO believe that he is cooperating with
Gen. Hood.
The fall campaign everywhere seems clo-
cause. Gold in the South is on the decline,
showing an increased confidence among the
people in the ultimate success Of our strug
gle. The Presidential election is over, and
we must soon begin to obtain Information
as to its result Immense frauds have been
discovered in the Indiana State election
Without donbt, Lincoln will interruptions
ly use his immense military power for the
furtberance of his designs and the accom-
plishment of bis election. War seems The
only alternative, and the South must grid
up her loins anew for the protracted strug'
gle. Our final success depends upon uni
ted, determined resistance. Life is not SC
dear or peace SC sweet as to be purchased
at the price Of chains and slavery.

on the .4th inst, at Alexandria, for the crim'

The Memphis Appeal Of the 22d ult says
We have been able to obtain something
definite as to the late operations of our for
ces north Of the Chattahoochee, and on the
line Of Sherman's railroad communications.
The active part on the railroad was borne
by Stewards corps, and the results were not
materially different from what has been nj
ready stated. From Big Shanty TO Altoona
the facts are known. From this point the
troops were moved to Tricks or Rocky Ford
on the EtOwah, twelve miles above Rome,
from whence they marched to the road near
Calhoun, and destroyed it to within short
distance OF Rasaca. The latter point was
found strongly fortified and garrisoned. and
il was avoided, but the road was struck a.
gain below Tilton, and destroyed from that
point to the vicinity OF Tunnel Hill.
The capture of prisoners at Dalton, and
the circumstances attending the surrender
have mac public. The stores Of all kind
seized were immense in quantity, and a.
mong them were large quantity of shoes.
These will be acceptable to the Army OF Ten
nessee, iot only in enal ling it better to un-
delgo the hardships OF the arduous cam.
paign il is now engaged upon, but also to
endure the anticipated discomforts of the
approaching winter. The supply, we are
assured. was ample.
The corps. of Lee and Cheaham were NOV
ed Nothward, crossi G The Coosa, ten miles
below Rome. Tie Fede a army crossed the
"ElOwah above this place. 1t WIS with
the cavalry upon the enenys left flank that
the skrmish, heretofore reported, occurred.
Rome was not occupied by our forces at any
time.
After, the success at Dalton, and the com
plete destruction of the road in that vicinl-
ty, General Hood united his forces III the
vicinity of Lee and Gordon Mills, the
roiut at which the left Of our army rested
at the commencement OF the battle of hck-
amnuga. There can be no IMPROPERLY in
mcut oning this as active operations were
at once commenced, and by this time the
programme and scene oil operations has en-
tirely changed. In what direction an adj
vance was made, or the point aimed mt we
may not uilude to.
Gen Beaureeard, who remain d for sew
eral days al jacksonville, Ala. expressed
his COZ dial appreciation o. the plan of the
campaigns now progressing, aud gave ire
quent M suraDces OF his confidence IN IT'S III
innate success. He left for the army on

THE FIGHT IN THE VALLEY.-At length we
are enabled TO obtain some tolerable reliable
notion Of the late battle between Sheridan
and Early. We have read the report of
sheridan and heard that of Early, out have
moi as yet met with it.
Puulng both together, we conclude that it
was II great disaster to the Federals, and
tina ther rejo icings over it are gotten up
Just his time for political effect. Their
army was surpr sed routed and driven with
INN use loss They have never put it at
less ,lan 5000 II was no doubt much heav-
Ter. IN tins condition it was met by Sheri-
dan, who was returning from Washington
City lie succeeded in ralying his men,
and then occurred one of those scenes, the
history of which we will always blush to
read. Oar forces, instead of retaining their
discipline and pressing the enemy GA more
than Manassas rout, as was now completely
in their power, scattered and betook them
selves TO plnhder Some Say that many or
their officers were drunk upon the apple
brandy in which the Valley abounds. Gen.
Sheridan turned upon them in this condi-
tion and they fed back, scattered and dis
organized, losing many wagons and pieces
ofarlillery, but few men. The enemy claim
to have taken 1000 prisoners, but say they
could not guard them In the rear, and many
escaped. Early's armytook his old position,
but slightly injured. The loss was in prop
erty. The enemy are the worst hurt, but 1t
is a sad lesson to us Of the necessity Of good
morals in the soldier. Without this high
toned feeling of principle and dnty, this
splendid victory has elnded their grasp,
