Exchai g of PrUoners
In an artie'e upon tha alleged barbarities of the
rebels, the Comrrjercial Advertiser cmiti to state that
at the very beginning of the conflict the Administra
tion taade the mistake of proclaiming the privateers
men pirates ; of couGning tutm as felons ; of having
tbem tried as pirates. Again, it forgets that an ex
change of prisoners wa3 requested more than onca by
the rebels, acd that the Administration related it, nu
til forced into IL&t measure cf gooJ sense by the voiq?
of the people, speaking through the prcs.
Again, has any n quest made by the rb:l autLori
tiea tor information as to acts reported to thera to have
bctn contrary to the raits of war, rtceiveJ an aDEwer
from cur authorities ?
Again, which side stcpjxd the exchange of prisoners,
contrary to the terms of the cartel 1
If the Uoion is to Le rcetortd, it ?rirl life cot e'mply
by force of arms, but by the aid cf convictions. Is a
good. understanding likely to result from looking only
at one siJc- of a question ?
Does itjastice ever iail to produce reciprocal ii.jas
tice? Does the Commercial believe that of the bad
passions eveked by rcar, and cf tke excssssinevitabls to
it, our officers, our troop3 acd our officials have been
totally free ?
There are olIj two ways of conducting a war one
'which seeks in every possible manner to diminish its
ncce33ary evils, and cne which proclaims that each side
s'iall make its own ru!e3, and be guide J by its own'
se-LcS of right ; oe which admits, and one which de
uies reciprocal obligations. We believe that the sp:.rit
ot resistance is increased by the latter course. We be
lieve that the mistaken policy which has ruled our coun
cils has bribed the South, to fight more stubbornly.
We believe that the last Congress did more to rr.ke
iho Confederacy a '-fixed fact" than all the abilities 01
tha Confederate leaders. Wo beiicve the wretched
squabble about paro!e3 has made more men afrai I ol
tho service lhan any olLer cause. Nor does this de
tract either from their patriotism or biav.ry. A man
who 13 wiiiing to saflef the privations of camp and the
dangers of u campaign, may well besita'e to rot in jail
to grut, fy the obatiouey oi a Secretary, to forward the
views of a fanatic, or to serve the captiousness of a
co&rnbsiou. The rebels offer to exchange noon the
cartel. Jf we think it violated cr eusptct a trick, how
ejjy to enstver. Until tbe qutsiiots now in dispute
u-.dtr the cartel a;e seated, w can only make a special
exchange upon th bas;s t f it, man for man, so far as
the pris-JEttrs go, aud m the meantime If i us see if we
cannot clear up the d futility. If we cant ot v;e will
leave our uiStTcnces to arbitration.
Is not each a course w;s:r than to bandy accusations
of bad faith, which ociy serve to irrita.e? It the
rebels are lesd g-entle and humane thun ou:s'Jve?, is it
w.ea to tell the world that men, whom we londiy hope
to see feiiow-citizeus, and at gieat expense fLjht to keep
ldlow citizens, at s brutes? Since writing tee above,
we eee by -i letter from Solicitor Whiting that tbe
wi'ole difficulty arises lrcm the negro troops?. TJpon
this point both sides, as we once tried to show, i.re in
tbe wrong. Bat there have not been taken pris.itjers
trom us one thouDacd black troops. Iv.-aerve as hoa
tagesas large a cumber us have been taken, and ex
charge the residue.
If either the Confederate or oar authorities uneLr
take to make " will sia d for reuson," upon the cne so
GiL-nding mut the ctbsure of inhamanity fall.
Latest feom Vicksburg. The Mississippiarh has
intelligence from Vicksburg to the 3i uli. The re
port, published a short time since, relative to the ar
rival oi numerous transports with Yankee soldiers, is
contradicted. No tro.op3 had arrived there, except
three negro regiments from Miliken's Bend. There bad
ben but one or two boat arrivals per week for some
time, the Yankees being afraid, on account of our
guerrillas, to attempt a frequent navigation ot the river
above or below. The citizens had learned that the
city would ba garrisoned by negro regiments the com
ing winter, and were apprehending a perfect reign of
terror.
The military commiesion appointed by Grant to meet
on the 1st October, or as soon thereafter as practicable,
for tho purpose of examining into the claims of owners
of property in the city in other words, to require the
eitiz.ns to take the oath of allegiance to the Y-ickee
government had not met, but it was thought would
do so on the 4th ult. The " loyal citizens " appointed
on this commission aro Rev. Mr. Hopkins and Judge
Houghton. Giant's order had not been enforced in
any way, end but few persons had takln the oatfi.
Those wbo took it did j30 cf their own choice. The
generality of the citizens were as true as ever to the
causj. i hey were tufjenng much, and presented ap
pearances of great saaness, bat were yet hopeful, be
lieving that the time for their deliverance trom Fed
eral talc eoald not ba very far distant. There was
a universal disgust among all classes lor every
thing relating to the Yankees, and but three or four
young iauics bad civilly received any of them aa vis
itors. Many pereons, unable to get away frou the city, or
to fiad employment to make a living, were engaged in
teaching little echools. The school in the baBement of
the Methodist Church taught by Yankees, and attend
ed by three Luudrtd and titty negro men, women and
children, was to be removed to the Baptist Church,
which was repaired. There was no foundation for the
report tbat Prof. F. M.SttvcDa was teaching the negro
school at ihe Methodist Church,. He had nothing to
do with ibis dark institution of learning.
The Yankees were' constructing a railroad along
Cherry to Jackson street, and the work was progressing
rapid.'y. The negro draymen were loud in their com
plaints against this enterprise, saying that tbe Yankees
were building the railroad just to cheat them out ol
their rights.
iliere was a general stagnation of business, and no
encouragement given to any department of trade by
thosa in authority. Some of the citizens seemed to
take this as an indication that tbe Yankees expected
not to be able to hold the city loEg, though the fortifi
cations were beinsr strengthened and extended. The
houses of Captain Jt.3. Gown, Benj. Hardaway and
Mrs. lrvia, had been torn down to give place to for
tifications. The ankees appeared to live and move in a state cf
trepidation irom fear ol .Lee s cavalry.

Tiie Approaching Session of Congress.
The country looks forward with profound ao-icitude to
the approaching session of Congress for immediate action
upon the currency, the great and vital question of the day.

A Chapter far Old Young Mm itud Young Old
Men,
' BY REX.
And it came to pa33 that there was. a certain KiDg
named Pharaoh, and his kingdom was oa the Tiger-i3,
atd the ycucg man came to him to tribute pay unto
him.
In tboe dajs, the joung men would eay one unto
scother, "Go to, and Jet us go up and fight against.
this iigertLat dwelleth m the balls of Pharaoh," Ihen
they would jtrise , and gird up their liens and go against
he Tiger.
Then would the Tiger arise and fight with them, and
have the mastery ever them, and prevail over them,
acd they would go out, carying naught in their scrip,
sad their racutts would be full of courses fend bitter
ness by reasnu of the' emptiness thereof.
In those day?, there dwelt a man who had walked in
the presence of Pharaoh, and had considered the wsys
ot the Tiger, acd he said unto himself, "Now will I
study the ways of this beast even of this Tiger, that
1 may learn his way, and understand the principle
wLerewivh to slay him."
. Then hef did ponder en the way of the Tiger with
cue-paperB studied he thdr wave ard, lo ! he did find
the prisciple a t-ertcia Ui'ng wherewith to war
sgaiLSt the Tiger.
Then he rejoiced aod was exceedingly glad, and said
unto hime&if, "Now will I go up ogaiDSttbe Tiger that
dwelieth in the Haifa of Pharaoh, for te shall b deliv
ered iLto mine hand?, and I will prevail over him by
reason of the dead thing that I have discovered against
him." -
Then he nee and went up egaiiist tbe Tiger, carrying
with him shekels of gold, and shekels of pilver, and
shfrkels of brass.
Now when the Tiitr saw him earning afar off, he
rejoiced a d said 'N'o-v will I possess myself of the
shekels of silver, and the raiments.'
Then the man drew near aud did lay his shekels of
silver upon the Queen, end ihe Jack did he copper.
But, lo! his principle did fail him, and the 'J'iger did
prevail against bita, and discomfit him, and ho did go
out empty artd h.aled of himself.
Tnen did Kiog Pharaoh speak a parable, and in this
wise :
"A certain man did go a fishing, and did ca3t ia- hi s
line for tiah, and his line did slip irom his fingers and.
did sick unto the bottom. Thea he did take another
lfna to drag on the bottom, and he lost that also. Then
he did borrow yet another line from a teighbor,
but this hue did ecpe cut of his band aud sink also.
Then the man wa3 wroth, arid did eay, 'Now will I take
my pothooks and drag for the lines that are lost.' And
he went hie way, a id did cast in the pet-hooks ; ar,d,
io; they did cleave unto the bottom, and the line did
break und he lost them likewise.
"So, a'so, with him that figbteth the Tiger, and tveu
thus will he lose that he hath. For whose bettetb with
cut a principle will be in danger of losing ; but whoeo
hath a dead thing the same shiill lose his pot-hcoks in
the day wherein te bettetb."
A Legal Argumkkt. la tbe good times now gone,
Jobuse Hooper reported the following case, the speech
in which he pronounced to be tbe greatest he ever
heard. Its logic is certainly a3 exhaustive as Abe Lin
col it's :
A lYliow was indicted up in the Old Ninth, when
Tom G t was solicitor, for gambling, to wit : playing
"short cards," at a-certain locality known as Frog
Level. Col. defended Lira, and contended be
fore the jury that though the State's evidence Headed'
to show that his client, witb a bottle of hqury in bis
poeket, accompenied the crovd, who, it was shown, did
actually play, yet it Btver did, with actual certainty,
locate him as one of the players. Said h?, by way ot
peroration :
" Gentlemen cf the jary, the witnesses have told you
that Peter Wyatt was tfhar, and t. playing ; for he no
ticed his hand and it was a fall on queens. Harry Snow
was thar, and he was a playing, for he hilt two little pr.
Wil'kni Upson was thar, and he played ; cause wit
ness noticed in particular that he had noihiu' but an
ace. Bill Conner was thar, and he played gentlemen ;
and he had the bully band four high heeled jacks 1
"But, geuikmen, wl ea 1 come to ask him about
Abraham Pitkin, my client s hand, what did he say,
gentlemen? Why nothing, gentlemtn, except that ii
Ab3 hilt any band, he dian:membejred what was in it.
"And now, gtnilemen ot the jury, because my client
was seen coins down to Fro Level with u bottle cf
liquor in bis pocket, and the witness can't remember as
be hilt any hand at all, when bully bai ds wa3 out, and

Late oa Sunday afternoon, the enemy having been
driven from his entrenchments, our entire army paused,
as though to view and meditate upon the desperate

if both armies were tired of that terrible strife and

An effioer from Orange county to-night expresses the
belief that Meade i slowly receding frcm Mina Creek to
