THE ACCIDENT TO Sun TAJEN.-The unfortunate
accident to the maadarin, Sun Tajen, on Saturday,
was gracefully made the occasion of final visit to
the Embassy by their Buffalo friends. The visit,
which was one of friendly inquiry as to the health
OF the distinguished foreigner was paid by Messrs.

Marsh, ex-Presdent or the Board, &c. These gen.
ternen went to the Falls in the morning train and
were warmly received at the International Hotel by
the mandarin who assured them that he had sus-

Remarkable Statement by Ex-Comn,issioncr

The washington I,telttgencer Of yesterday pub
fishes statement written by Mr.. Robert Ould, who
was the Confederate Commissioner for the exchange
OF prisoners during the We have not space to-
day to publish the document in full, but the points
Of 1t may be gathered from the following extract
from an editorial the subject in the Ielttgence''
coored of course to suit the political views of that
Journal
1t appears from this statement, sustained by Gen.
era Butler and other officers connected with the ex
change OF prisoners during the war, that Grant whO
cared little for the Union soldier that he was will
ing to give three for one Is responsible for all the
sUferings OF our solders-not only at Anders0nyille
but in all the other Southern prisons.
appears ht, eas ous W.T. W pe & "o , ~ @ 'a
and officer for officer ut time when the federal au
thorites had excess Of prisoners that afterwards
offers were made TO buy and pay Tor In gold the
medicines necessary for the Union prisoners at the
South and to allow them to be brought in and adj
m!nstered by our own surgeons, and that no notice
was taken Of these propositions.
1t appears further that the Confederate authorities
offered to send hitner without any exchange fifteen
ing all those at Andersonville. and to make up the
number with well men. II the federal authorities
would furnish transportation but this transportation
was not furnished for nearly six months, during
which nearly oil of the suffering OF Union prisoners
in Southern prisons occurred.
The salient fact is that all this was the work of
General Grant, who ordered the Commissioner of EX
Cnange "nOt 10 take announcer Step Dy winch announcer
able bodied man should be exchanged until further
orders from him." and afterwards gave directions
that the matter Of exchanges 'should be put Oiren
sivey to the Confederate authorities for the purpose
Of preventing an exchange"
This is record from which Grant cannot escape.
All the federal officers connected with the exchange
OF prisoners, including General Butler himself
invoked as witnesses against him. 1t was part OF
| his policy, the same cruel policy which sacrificed
the finest army In the world and lost more men than
| constituted McClean's whole army In reaching a
| point which Mcclellan had attained with compara-
| lively no losses whatever.
