From Hampton, Va.
LETTER FROM REV. j. Z. STONE.
Near the TYLER HOUSE,

HAMPTON, Va Feb. 10, 1865.
Mr. STONE, I'll notice in the Yer
mont Chronicle Of the | lth inst. this brief
notice: "Rev. James T. Stone and wife
have left the service of the missionary as
ISOLATION, in whose employ they have been
laboring at the Tyler House, Va"
Now | am sorry to see this, as | fear it
may give a wrong impression, leading
some to suppose that We have left our
work, Hampton and all. Such is not the
fact. We are still here, and here we ex-
pect TO remain for the present, engaged as
heretofore in efforts in behalf of the poor
colorcd people lately from the house of
bondage. True we are not now, As here
tofore, in the employ of the American
missionary association; not that We
have left the service Of the association, -
but that the association has left us; dis
missing us from its service simply because
we do not consent to leave this field and
90 to Nashville, Key West or elsewhere.
After having served the army here one
year, we were engaged for second, for
this field and for no other. But recently,
for what seems to us by no means salts
factory reasons, we have been directed to
leave Hampton. But how can we
Why should We? Here we are acquaint
ed, have the confidence of the people, ar,
in the midst of our work, cannot vel
leave it as it is, and can, as we firmly be-
lieve, be more useful here than in some
new and untried field SO while the com
mittee insist on our leaving, we insist OF
remaining, and the result is we are dis
missed by the association and thrown up
on our own resources for support. Anc
yet, Rev. Mr. Whipple writes: "W'
have no charges to bring against you save
this one, that you are not willing to labor
arhere and as ire desae' But we are will
ling to labor ,chere and as ,ce agreed, ant
in the service of the association, and wer'
doing so up to the day of our dismission
And though not now in the service of tn,
association. nor in the Tyler House, bu
in our Gown hired house," hard by thu
Tyler House, we shall still remain labor
ing as best we can in the good work fo
which we at first came, some 20 months
ago. We hope still, as heretofore, to en-
joy the confidence of our old friends /,
Vermont, and that they will continue t,
send us clothing, bedding and whatever
else they please, to help us in our effort
in behalf of the poor and needy ex-slaves
whose welfare we seek.
Yours truly, JAMES p. STONE.

Exchange Of Prisoners.
A letter from the headquarters of ,

A letter from the headquarters of the
army of the James, under date of Feb. l6.
says:
Another instalment of l,2OO Union
prisoners was landed by the Rebel author
tiles at Cox's Landing, yesterday. and
were thence marched to Varina, where
they were embarked on Col. Mulford's
steamer and conveyed down the river.
In their appearance they presented the
usual evidences of ill-treatment, and on
reaching our lines gave vent to their JOY
and gratitude at their deliverance by pro-
longed cheering. Many shed tears, and
not few tervently thanked God for their
escape from a fate which had promised
nothing but a lingering death. 1t will be
gratifying to the friends Of prisoners and
the country generally to learn that there
now seems no obstacle in the way of a
speedy completion of the exchange.

CHICAGO ExCITED.-The Chicagoans are
excited over what they call the horse rail-
road swindle. They have had a mass
meeting in Bryan Hall, at which they had
stirring addresses, and report of ''citi-
zens committee" which is quite agreeable
as light reading. Francis A. Eastman
has the credit of heading the ''swindle''
party Eastman is well known in Yer
mont, and is now state senator from the
city ofChicago. In their report this COM
mittee ''feels constrained to animadvert in
the strongest terms on the unmanly, base
betrayal by Mr.. Eastman of the rights Of
the people he was elected to represent. -
One of the resolutions contains the follow
ing not very complimentary language -
That as long as this gigantic monopoly
which their votes have aided to fasten for
three-quarters of century upon the city
whose interests they have so shamelessly
betrayed, shall endure, the names of Fran
els A. Eastman, Nathan w. Huntley and
Andrew H. Dolton, will be remembered
as the betrayers of the interests and rights
entrusted to them by their constituents.
Every added year that this great monopo-
ly shall continue, will serve only to in
crease and deepen the righteous indignation
and just contempt with which they will
be regarded by an outraged and indignant
people.
