If anybody has forgotten Mr.. Rob
ert Ould, the Rebel Commissioner
for the exchange of prisoners, it is
not the fault of that gentlemen him
self, for he has lost no opportunity of
keeping his name and his former funct-
ions before the public. The mission
which he seems to have chosen since
the close of the war is that of shifting
the burden OF responsibility for the
sufferings of Union prisoners in the
South from the shoulders of the Con-
federate authorities, where it belongs,
to the officers of our own Govern
ment. who never relaxed their efforts
to secure the liberation of our captive
soldiers by a fair exchange. 1t will
be remembered that he was surround
as a witness on the WirZ trial, and his
testimony, had it been given on that
occasion, might have settled the qUes-
ton forever; but unfortunately the
Court ruled it irrelevant, and he was
not examined Since then he has
been perpetUally charging the blame
upon one person, after another accord
ing as the fancy took him. First he
indicted Mr.. LincOln's Administration
in the lump. Then he fixed the fault
upon Secretary Stanton. Next he
turned upon Gen. Butler, and the
other day, in letter to The National
IIlteLIigencer, he made out Gen. Grant
to be the guilty man. Somebody
hereupOn has OppOTtunely called to
mind a letter of Mr.. Guilds to the
Rebel Gen. Winder, which has re-
peatedIy been published, and proves
conclusively that the Confederate
proffers of exchange where honestly
accented by our Government, and
that while we returned Southern pris-
oners in health and strength we re-
ceived in their place unfortunate
wretches whom cruelty and starvation
had reduced almost to the door of death.
The letter was written from City Point
while the exchange was in progress,
and is well worn, repriHtings Itruns
as follows:
SIR: A fiag-Of-tTuce boat has ar
rived with $50 political prisoners, Gen.
Barrow and several other prominent
men among them.
I wish you to send me at 4 O'Clock,
Wednesday morning, all the military
prisoners Except Officers) and all the
political prisoners you have. IF any
Of the political prisoners have no hand
proof enough to convict them Of being
spies, or Of having committed other
Offenses which should subject them to
punishment, so state opposite their
names. Also state whether you think,
under all the circumstances, they
should be released.
The heGTTdRgeBleIlts IhoUe made 9UOreS
largely "a our TdUOr. We get rid Of q
set of miserable 1Oretches, and receive
some Of The best material I ever SQtg.

ROseCrams and the Mexican
AIiSSiOn--VermOmt Election.

INV Il OAN' -.
Gen. ROsecrans, in conversation at
the AstOr House, yesterday, said that
he did not believe the Southern lead
eTs were TO issue an address, as had
been reported. In regard to the Mex
lean mission, he says that the policy
will be one of kindness and cOncilia-
ton, and that fillibustering or annex
alton movements will not be favored.
In the Board of Health, yesterday,
the regulations adopted by the State
Commissioner in reference to the cat
tie quarantine, were approved. They
direct that all drOves arriving be taken
to one of the two quarantine yards.
The Times says the election in Yer
mont demonstrates the popularity of
Grant, and shows the power Of Re
publican principles.
The Herald says the Republican
victory In Vermont is owing partly to
the unWise course Of the Southern
fire-eating orators proclaiming their
devotion to the rebel flag, and the
Nermonters went to the ballot box as
If expecting tOfight the old battle over
again.
The World says that the Republi-
cans triumphing in Vermont is like
the Dutch taking Holland: The Dem
Ocrats allowed the election to go by
default, its result not being considered
as indicative of the sentiment of the
country.
The Tribune says that the victory
IN Vermont supasses its highest hopes.
The Democrats made a desperate stTug-
gle. 1t was the issue of Sumter over
again, and the result is a decisive vic
tory.

OmCial COrrespOndeece as to
FenfaR PFfsOneFs--Van
ism Of the Turks in Crete. sc.
NEW YORK, Sept. g.
& correspondence took place re-
Gently between Mr.. Seward and Lord
Stanley, through the medium Of Mr..
Moran, American Charged Affairs at
London, and Mr.. Thornton, the Brit
ish Envoy at Washington, on the
subjeetOf the Fenian prisoners, Warren
anG CASTILLO, who are naturalized -citi-
Zens Of the United States. This cor
respOndence has been published in
full IN the London journals, but the
main points are simply these: Mr..
Seward writes to Mr.. Moran, with
request to read the letter to Lord Stan
lev, to the effect that the House OfRe-
presentatives of the United States has
passed the resolutions requesting the
President to take such measuees as
shall appear proper to secure the re-
lease from imprisonment of Messrs.
Warren and CASTILLO, imprisoned in
Great Britain for words and acts sDOl-
en- and done in this country, thereby
ignoring our naturalization laws; and
to take such other steps to secure their
return to our flag with such ceremO-
MES as are appropriate to the occasion /;
and he therefore asks the uneOnditiOn-
al surrender Of those prisoners.
Lord Stanley, in his reply through
Mr.. Thornton, says as regards the
imprisonment Of Messrs. Warren and
CASTILLO, have to point to YOU that
the allegation, on which Mr.. Stewards
request for their release is founded.
is that they were convicted for words
spoken and acts committed in the
United States, rests on a total niscOn-
ceptiOn Of the facts. These prisoners
were convicted Of felony at the Com
mission Court for the county Of Quinn.
held in October last, the MOST prOuii-
nent overt actinsisted upon andproved
against them being that they had
come over to Ireland and cruised along
the coast with the intent to effect
a landing of men and arms in Ireland
and in order to raise an insurrectiOn
against the Queen. The evidence ad-
duced against these prisoners, in the
course of the trial of words spoken
and acts committed by them in the
United States, was given in strict ac-
of the testimony connecting them
with a Fenian conspiracy which had
existed in the county Of Dublin, and
which county the commission court
set, and which conspiracy had for its
object the subversion Of her Majesty's
authority and the establishment of a
Republic in Ireland.
A letter from Syria, published in the
Post, saws the turks have lately COM
mitted another act of vandalism in
Crete which should not escape the
notice of civilized Europe and Amer
lea. The olive trees, heavy with the
crop, which promised 70 sustain the
half starved Christians Of the heroic
islea have been entirely destroyed,
and the women and children may be
forced by famine to yield to the Otto
man power.
The Turkish commander in-clIief
has also issued an order for the heads
Of families to bring back to Crete all
refugees, under penalty Of cOnfiscatiOn
of their lands and tenements.

The following preamble was passed
by the BrOwnviIIe Lodge No. 20, I. o.
of G. T., on Friday, Aug. 21st:
Whereas, The Grand Lodge of Good
Templars of the State of Nebraska, at
its last session in Omaha, declared
that they were not a political body,
but that in accordance with their pro-
fessiOn they could not vote for men
for official position who deal in intOXi-
eating liquors, nor fOrme who habitu-
ally use Intoxicating liquors as q bev-
erage: they, therefore, would respect
fully request Of the political parties of
the day, to put no man in nomination
for any office in the gift of the people
of the State Of Nebraska, who is not
a temperance man, and.
Whereas, While we, the Good Tenn
piers of BrOwnville, disclaim all inten-
ton Of debating to the political con-
ventiOns WhOthey shall or shall not put
in nomination for offices still we think
it is due to the Temperance feeling Of
this community, that no man shall be
nominated for our support who hab-
itually uses intoxicating liquors as
abeverage. We therefore, recommend
to the favorable consideration Of all
nominating conventions about to be
held in the county Of Nemaha, the
action and wishes Of Good Templars as
above indicated. We also ask the Co
operation of the other Lodges Of Good
TenPlars in the county.
