We had a con ver aatibn the other day with a returned wounded North Carolina soldier, who has been in one of the hospitals at Richmond. He assured us that the wounded North Carolinians at -Richmond re ceived every attention from the Virginians it was possible for them to give. He says he has seen the ladies of Richmond passing from hospital to hospital, carrying . baskets and dishes filled. with .delicacies for the sick 'and wounded, and while administering to the wants of all, were particular to inquire for North Carolinians who had so gal lantly borne the beat and burden of the day and defended their homes from the ravages of the in human invader. - These-siatements are confirmed by parents and relatives of sick and wounded sol diers who went on to assist in nursing them.

' The New York papers contain several state ments about the stoppage of the exchange of pris oners. A Washington telegram to the New York Herald says: ; ' -X The. fact is that the rebel authorities refuse to parole or exchange , the . officers of Oolouel Streight's command, captured recently in Georgia,' they having been demanded t by the Governor ol the State, under the retaliation act passed at the' last session of the rebel Congress. In consequence of this refusal no more rebel officers w,lll be re leased or' paroled until an arrangement can be made by which all of our officers tha " may fall into their hands shall be released. The exchange of tbe'enliated men will be continued as heretofore. 1 The large number of prisoners taken bv Gen. Grant and by Gen. Banks in their operations will no doubt bring the rebel authorities to an eeuitable arrangement for the future The Commissioners for the exchange of prisoners, Colonels Ludlow and. 0ald,have agreed upon an exchange which covers alarge number of prisoners heretofore released dn both sides. The. official announcement of the classes ol prisoners of war restored to duty, by this exchange will be made in a few days. . vThe Washington ChronicU attempts the following- explanation about Streight's officers: " ' The retention of the officers on the requisition of Governor Shorter, on the charge of their arm ing negroes, is the flimsiest possible excuse, and was based on the following i A j toembeh of ,. the 73d , Indiana captured1 a silver mounted carbine from one of Roddy's officers, -and presented it to Lieutenant Colonel Walker.

' j The enemy reviewed twenty-five regiments pn their right wing, yesterday ,witbin sight of us. That there was that number of regiments was calculated from the amount of colors visible. This was intended as a demonstration, in order to blind as .to the fact of a part of their army having de parted to rinforcs'Fmberton. A gathering; of their troops aboutO jmiles up the Rappahannock, with the ostensible show of crossing, may be for the same purpose. All dayyesterday men were departing in cars from near .Fredericksburg, but it is impossible to teH whetherfor thg South or for some point on the road where they might alight, and unknown to us, join the forces up the river. Their motives are dinlcult to penetrate. Spies, if we have any, can learn little that is definite, and deserters, like private soldiers in our own army, know nothing beyond what occurs in their own immediate vicinity.; . f The rebel pickets taunt oar men with the delay in capturing Vicksburg. Thoy suggest that! we shall have "a sweet job of it." A party from each side lately, while bathing, swam towards each oth er, shook hands with a j"bow are you, old fellow ?" in the middle of the rjver, and agreed to change positions for the time being. Our men, therefore, swam to the rebel shore, while their antagonists continued to thia side. The latter then personated Yankees, shouting "How are you, secesh ?" with many expletives n calculated for year's polite, and were answered -by "How are you, portt-aodJ moiasse r vnen are you going to pitctuinto ua again?" etc. After a friendly talk'with those near by, both parties recrossed-This may seem odd, among menengaged in killing each other, butprivaWBcTprofssjional life are two very dif fieroni matters.

Genl Pender entered Wests Point, at Xha ag'e of seventeen; from bis nativeState of North Carolina, He graduated in I854, in tha class with t3en. J. " K.-B.

On the death ofCoL Fisher, of the 6th. regiment of North Carolina " State Troopsj in the first battle of Manassas, was transferred to that more permanent command, ' at the head of which, and lndead, of the brigade ' to which it was attached, he behaved so gallantly and worthily on the field of Seven Pines, lathe presence of President Davis, that he was instantly promoted, on the field, by that singularly JudlcW 1 pus officialto tbe rank of Brigadier General. , , SaWolx DxscxosTJKB. P. Wi A. m wrjt- ing from Richmond to the SavSnnah republican ; It is said that Gen. Lee is more than' usually reserved in regard to his future plans and opera-. , lions.5 He, has been constrained to adopt this ' course in consequence of certain disclosures recent-' ly made by McClellan. It" appears that Gen. p.' H: Hill, during last year s Maryland campaign, dropped , in his tent; probably when fee retired' from BooniboTo' Gan. Lea's c-anera.1 orrfur ia hU. - corps and commanders, In which hex set forth the wuoie object and plan - of bis iadvance across .the Potomac, and that this paper' was found and car ried to McClellan . , . , . 1 ? ; In this way, it Is . alleged, j the Federal ' com-' mander was informed of the strength and dijpoii.' tion of our forces, and kt-aw thatD. H. Hill, with hia single. dli Uion, waa. left to hold the .Gap at Boonsbofo. whilst Jackson 'bad turned uff-tu Harper's Ferry, and Longstreel bad taken, pcsl-- uou near we Pennsylvania line at Hageritown. ' This disclosure explains the rapid movements of McClellan, and the confident manner in which be followed us up" and deliverjvt battle at Sharps-' burg. .Without this know leiy it is not probable ' he would have sought General Lee so soon and so eagerly ; and thus the latter would have bad more . time to concentrate his forces, test bis troops, end prepare for , the conflict.
