letter In tho New York Herald gives wha,
purports to be tie particulars of Buffers receis
visit to Point Lookout prison. The letter WIS
was written under the impression that Buffers
smart trick had begun the exchange:
At nine O'Clock Gen. Butler visited the rebel
prisoners Of war-o, $50 in number These braves
represent almost every State In the late American
Union. 1he presence of "Picayune" was great
with distended eyes and open nostris.> 1t was
amusing to hear the rebel comments upon the rebel
timer. some swOre that he waa4 n s.damned good
looking man any how"-and it must be owned that
the General appeared exceedingly well. There
wa. occasional cheering as he passed through the
streets Of the rebel camps. For the benefit Of the
inquisitve let me mention her. that the rebels
confined In hundred acre lot, which Is enclosed by
boa fence twelve feet in height. The sentineis
march un a sort Of shelf on the outside o: the
fence, which shelf 10 about eight feet from the
ground This afternoon It was announced that
MajOr Mumford, Gen Buffers agent for the ex-
change nf prisoners at City Point, had come here
with the steamer New York, and that five hundred
rebels were 10 be taken off in her. Upon this re-
turn Of the NpV YOrk fr0un nj M
Monroe she will bear dve hundred Of our men from
Richmond. And so the exchange begtns.
Gen: Butter, after inspecting the rebel camps,
visited the troop. stationed here. He found them
in a good state of efficiency. He also Visited the
Hammond Hospitals, attended by his Medical Di-
| rector, D.. Mccormick, and the surgeons of this
sickness In Gen. Marston's command. There are
afew cases Of small pOx, hut Of mild type. Nor.
taliy from this cause is slight 1t was creditable
to humanity to nd that the same Sisters Of Char-
ty and the same surgeons who administer TO our
own wounded and sick also administer and attend
a, dress aud help the rebel sick and lore This
did me good TO be sars 'hSg are different in
have another breed OF dogs down there.
The prisoners, as general thing, are well be-
haved. Occasionally there 10 ''Eaid' ON tho
Kitchen One of these affairs took place the other
evening; but the cooks defended their castle with
knives aud hatcheis. They killed two and wOanded
twenty five of the rebels. Five of the eight cooks
who fought this battle were rebel prisoners.
Much has been said in regard TO the escape Of
rebels, and the number who have escaped In SIN
gle stampede has been butas high as two hundred.
This is ali mistake. Not over forty men have -s-
cap since the transfer Of the prisoners to this
point. Indeed, there have neen murn more deser
lion among theinferndi New Hampshire substitutes
among the rebels, and It s positive fact that
the former need watching much more than the lat
ter.
The work of exchange which has ncw begun
will be pushed forward with a., possible dispatch

0OAMEscHNENNr or The NEW SNIP PASSPORT sYs
TEN FROM NEW YORK.
The Chesapeak effair had the effect of annoy.
ing the New Yorkers with the Inauguration os
a search and passnos. systeE, fnr vessels sailing
from that Eor, The Illinois, which sailed for
California last week, was the first case. 1t Is thus
described
About half plst eleven O'Clock Marshal Murray,
accompanied by sufficient force Of detectives
visited the Illinois, and made thorough aud mi
mute search O. the vessel and Its passengers The
Marshal detailed twelve of his men on board the
vessel for this purpose: The luggage o the pas
sengers was examined, such Of the passengers
whose personnel or conduct excited any SUSPICION
were also snrGtted 10 search, ana every pfecau-
ton was taken c carry out to thu letter the nunc
ton of the Governments.
Ii Is true that the subordinates of the Marshal
could not get at some Of the luggage which was
slowed away below. and was perfectly "uncome-
atabe in consequence OF tn. position it occupied
amongst promiscuous jam of mrrch.ntab!e com
mOdies. The Ofdcers of the Marshal aecOmpa-
MED the vessel as tar as Sandy Hook, and in The
meantime secured the revOlvsrs and bowie kEi ses
Of these on board, (and al! tbs PASSENGERS, with
fey cep:ans, were furnished with these delicate
weapons,) and placed them under the lock and
key OF the purser of the vessel, with the under
standing that they TO be delivered 10 their own
ers on their arrival at their ie stinatop.
1t enormously stated Yesterday that each
passenger was Guired to nave pass. This Is
mistake, as the Marshal, after proper search, and
finding eve yIhing all right Is only required to give
general pass to the captain or agent Of the clear
