York Tribune, is in a very bad humor over what he calls the escape of Gen. Juhnston from Ma nassas. In a late issue of his paper, he says: "The retirement of an army in the face of n decidedly superior force is apt to be one of the most difficult, perilous and costly movements known to warfare; at all events it was ho in other days. In the ease'of our rebels, it seems to be particularly easy, smooth and safe. The White House. The "White House," Low under the joint management of 31 rs Lincoln and 31 rs James Gordon Bennett, will soon become as notorious fur revelrv and lewdness a was ever- any It is the court of Catherine the HI of Itu.sia or of her cotemporaries in sin ana wickedness. barely a month since the death of one of 31 rs Lin coln's children was announced, and now we have the full particulars, laid before us in the N. York sensation papers, of a grand carousal which took place at the White Iluuso one night Inst week. Even the Northern papers in their comments upon the affair, give vent to no kind feelings for those who thus make merry in the house of the dead, and criticise severely the expensive balls (this one is said to have cost 20,000! ) which the Lincoln family, aided by 31 rs Bennett, have inaugurated, in the midst of the distress and poverty of their people. . Gen. Sidney Johnston's Iron Will. In view of the censure recently passed by some over wise persons upon (Jen. A. S. Johnston course, and to show how little he can be driven by threats, a Louisiana paper tells tho following incident in his life: We recollect that, many years ago, while Gen. Johnston was living in Texas, General Felix Hus ton undertook to make him leave the State: but he did not leave; he came to Texas to stay as long as he pleaded, and stay ho would. Huston challeng ed him. Johnston accepted the challenge, fought and shot him. The result was, if we remember rightly, Gen. Huston left Texas and settled in this State. We mention this little incident in no dis paragement to Gen. Huston, for we knew the man well, personally and by character, and we can tru ly say that we never knew a braver man nor a cleverer gentleman, and we are satisfied, if such a man as Gen. Huston could not make Gem John ston travel, such men as now cry out against him have no kind oi business with him. rrew. (0olo:iel of an X. C.

It seems that the proposition . for an exchange j of prisoners was first made by General Wool, in a ' letter to General Hugcr, dated the 13th of Februa ; ry, 1SG2. The proposition was made on the fol lowing terms. General Wool wrote: "1 am alone clothed with full power for the purpose of arranging for the exchange of prisoners. Being thus empowered, I am ready to confer with I you on the subject, or the Honorable Messrs. Sed ! don and Conrad, or any other persons appearing ! for that purpose. I am prepared to arrange for the restoration of all the prisoners to their homes on fair terms of exchange, man for man, and officer for officer of equal grade, assimilating the grade of olfccers of the army and navy, when necessary, and agreeing upon equitable terms for the number of uiun or officers, of inferior grade,, to be exchanged for any of higher grade wheu ; the occasion ehall arise. That all the surplus prison ers on either side be exchanged on parole, with the agreement that any prisoners of war taken by the other party shall be returned iu exchange as fast as captured, and this system to. be continued while hostilities continue. "1 would further inform you, or any other per son selected for the purpose of making arrange ments for the exchange of prisoners, that the pris oners taken on board of vessels, or otherwise in maritime conflict, by the forces of the United States, have been put, and are now held, only in military custody, and on the same footing as other prisoners taken in arms." The proposition, it appears, was readily accep ted by our Government, and a memorandum made as a basis for a cartel, of which the following is a copy. '1. Prisoners to be exchanged man for man, and officer for officer. Officers of the army and navy to be assimilated on a fair basis, and privateer? to be placed on the footing of officers and men of the navy. '2. The surplus of prisoners held by either par ty to be returned to the country of the prisoners on their parole of honor not to take up arms again until exchanged under the provisions of this cartel. '3. Bach party, upon the discharge of prisoners of the other party, is authorized to discharge an equal number "of their own officers or men from parole, furnishing at the time to the other party a list of their prisoners discharged, and of their owu officers and men relieved from parole; thus enabling each party to relieve from parole such of their own officers and men as the party may choose. The lists thus mutually furnished will keep both parties advised of the true condition of the ex change of prisoners. "4. Men and officers of a lower grade, as well of a different service, may be exchanged for of ficers of a higher grade and of a different service. To do this without embarrassment, it is agreed that the basis of assimilation shall be the compensation allowed by each party to their own efficers and men, and in case of privateers who receive no fixed pay, to be put upon the compensation basis of of ficers and men of the navy. '5. Prisoners to be discharged or paroled within fen days after their capture, and to be delivered on the frontier of their own country free of ex pense to the prisoners, aud at the expense of the capturing party. "6. All prisoners now held by each party to be immediately discharged, and the party against whom the surplus shall be found shall receive such surplus upon their parole. Each party to furnish the other a list of those respectively discharged by it, and the party against whom the surplus is fouud is to furnish a. list of the prisoners placed on parole under this cartel, thus furnishing the basis for future exchanges." Gen. Wool promptly agreed to all the proposi tions except two. Ju lieu of the compensation basis of equivalents contained iu the 4th item of the memorandum, he proposed the cartel of equivalents adopted bv Great Britaiu and the Uui- c-.., :.. ti.., ..... ..r itti oml i:.,.i (d.h accej He also obiected to the provisions in the 5th been distinctly committed every obligation of truth, honor, tnd good faith A recommendation has been made by the Se cretary of War, on the statement of facts referred j to above, to declare discharged such of our' own I citizens as are now subject to parole. The follow j ing is the concluding portion of this comtminica I tion to Congress on the subject: " - . oi uisirusiing ror a moment tnat an engage ment of so sacred a character would be executed with fidelity, the prisoners held by us as hostages for the safety and proper treatment of the priva- por tioii i Ye .copj,.- When the sun .rose on the tuorninir of that bloody Saturday, it saw Vim already In the thick of the battle.

Cobb, that he saw reason to suspect bad faith on the part of the enemy. While this prompt and loyal execu tion of the agreement was in progress on the part of this Government, the enemy was conveying the prisoners captured at Fort Donelson to Chicago and other points most distant from their homes, and was parading the officers who fell into their power through the entire breadth of the land, from Western Tennessee to Fort Warren, in Boston harbor, where they are now incarcerated; and up to the present moment not a single 'officer taken at Fort Douelson, not a single captive privateer, has been restoored to his home, while the United States have kept possession of the hostages given up in reliance on their honor. The document G. herewith submitted, is the report of Gen. Cobb, containing a statement of his proceedings and copies ol his correspondence with Gen. Wool, and the document H contains the letter of General Wool, dated the Dth of the current month, from' which it is apparent that the' Government of the United States adheres to the refusal to perform its agree ment. liirhnioutl Examiner. THE IMPRACTICABILITY OP SUB JUGATION. The following biief historical illustrations of the absurdity and abortiveness of wars for subjuga tion, are from the Richmond Dispatch, and are very seasonably presented to the consideration of our people. The Yankees would do well to lay them to heart and learn the lesson of wisdom which they teach. They, in their overweening vanity, no doubt think themselves a far superior race to any thnt has ever figured before in this world, and that their fleets and armies can ac complish what no fleets and armies have ever done before. But this thought does not at all invalidate the authority of history on the general subject of wars for subjugation, as cited in the extract below, nor does it by any means fore shadow .the accomplishment by them of their atrocious purpose. Says the Dispatch : Wc can remember no instance in history of a country being subdued where the cause was national, and the whole people turned out as though each man was personally interested. The Republic of Genoa, at that time a great Power, strove for thiee hundred years to subdue the little island of Corsica. All the policy, all the treach ery, and all the force of Edward I, were insuffi cient to subjugate Scotland, possessing a popula tion, at that time, scarcely one-tenth as numerous as that of England. Germany was never able to conquer Switzerland, and 6ne hundred years of war were not sufficient to impose the yoke of the German Empire upon Holland. The Spaniards could not be conquered, although Napoleon let loose upon them three hundred thousand veteran.", commanded by himself in person while to re sist his legions, flushed with victory over the troops of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, they had but raw recruits, who were scattered like chaff before every assault of the enemy. The men were beaten; but they thought no more of giving up the day after a defeat, than they did the day before. The French could.overrun end annihilate Austria and Prussia, because the struggle was not nutienal. They beat their armies and closed the war. But when the war became national, and there was a general rising throughout Germany, But I KOTU'E. Treasurer's Ollice A., T. .t O.
