lease on the peoples pockets, and give
them still further opportunities to crush
out the liberties OF the people and destroy
every guarantee of the Federal Constitu-
ton. He left little doubt on the minds of
his hearers, that if this debt in its present
form, the holders of it refusing to pay their
fair proportion of taxes, was long contin-
ued the inevitable result would be to make
the rich man richer, and the hard working,
honest, toiling farmer, mechanic and la
borer poorer. For the reason that every
single dollar of taxes was in the end paid
by the laborer. The rich and lordly Bond
holder who tolls not, neither does he spin,
adds not one particle to the wealth of the
country. The boy that drops one grain of
corn in the planting season adds more to
our wealth and does more to contribute to
our necessities than he who, clothed in
purple and fine linen, with the reg
ularity of returning periods, makes
his demand on the Treasury for
the interest due on his bonds; but never, mo
never, pays one cent of taxes on them, not
even to help support the poor and unfortu-
nate inmates of the charitable institutions
of his own county or State. He avowed
himself in favor of paying all necessary
and just expenses of the Government, and
not in favor of Reputation; but very
forcibly argued that the insane course OF
the bad and malignant men who now con-
troll the Government, would eventually
disrupt the country, bury the industrious
masses in poverty, and most assuredly
bring on Reputation. The working
population were those, he said, most inter-
ested in an economical use OF the peoples

Tho Exchange of Prisoners.

The Geographic dispatch from Gen. Grant
to Gen. Butler, in August, 1864, is reported in
the New York Tribune of Wednesday, as form
ing part Of Gen. Buffers report to the commit
tee Of Congress in relation to the exchange of
prisoners. The Tribune says:
In August the rebels offered to renew the OK
change, man for man. Gen. Grant then telc-
graphcd the following important order; 1t
is hard on our men held in Southern prisons
not to exchange them, but it is humanity to
those left intho ranks to fight our battles
Every man released on paroleor otherwise be-
comes an active soldier against us at once, eth
or directly or indirectly # tce commence a
system Of exchange which liberates all prison
erS taken, we have to fight on till the whole
Southisextcrmnated If wehold those caught,
they amount to no more than dead men. AT
this particular time, to release all rebel prison
ers North would insure Shcrman'S defeat, and
would compromise our safety here"
This is a clear avowal of policy, and APP
pears to relieve the Confederate authorities of
the responsibility which it has been attempted
to fastcn on them of refusing to make an ex-
change.-AGti0nal Mtelligenccr.

coming forth at night aud committing dcprc-

Several attempts have been made by the citi-

avail. The dcsperadoes, not being content
with robbing the white citizens, got to doing
likewise TO the negroes, wbcreupon Jim Brooks,
prominent colorcd man in the County, or
ganizod small band of colorcd men, and
started out in search Of them. = After being out
for several days they succeeded in finding three

party was too weak, Brooks stationed guard
at the place to prevent their escape and returned
to Ashland for achievements, procured aid,
and started yesterday morning, armed with
guns, pistols, &c, determined to take them
dead or alive. Some of these escaped negroes
arc very desperate characters. Among them is
