[Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.]exchange of prisoners--Gay Times in a Federal prison. On Board Flag of Truce Boat Juniata, September 1, 1862. On last Thursday the prisoners of war (about 200) confined in the old Capitol prison were notified that in a few days we should be sent South (via Fortress Monroe) for exchange. Such a shout of heartfelt joy as then sounded through that old building was, perhaps, never heard before. Knowing how soon we would be in Dixie, and once more have a chance to cross sabres with the enemy for liberty or death, we took all the advantage of our situation we could — officers defied, guards cut down generally--we took complete possession of the second floor. There was but little sleeping done that night. Our merry laughs, loud huzzas, and snatches of home songs were heard during this time. All was not allowed to go on as we would have it.--Corporals, Sergeants, and officers were called for by the sentinels; but what cared we? We knew

izens; the salt to be paid for in the city bonds. The Council granted permission to issue the requisite bonds.

The Daily Dispatch: October 13, 1862., [Electronic resource], The Medical staff of the army. (search)
The Medical staff of the army. --The following is the copy of a letter writer by an aid decamp of President Davis to a prominent physician of Macon county, Ala., and will explain itself: Richmond, Sept. 1, 1862. Dear Sir. --I am directed by the President to inform you that your letter of August 21, 1862, is received, and the suggestions in it considered. Your strictures on the management of the medical staff of the army are perhaps severe, but not uncalled for. Many incompetent men have doubtless been appointed surgeons, but where is a competent surgeon or physician whose services have been rejected? The trouble is partly owing to the insufficient supply of medical and surgical skill in the country for an army of the size of that in the field. If, however, instead of a general censure, you would take the pains to single out and fix on any one or more surgeons the charges you make against them all, the public service would be subserved thereby.--If persons, who are

s made sacrifices still live in all their original vigor. Gov. Seymour, the candidate for Governor, made a speech tallying with the resolutions, in which he announced that, if the Supreme Court approved Lincoln's proclamations, the people would submit to them; if it did not, they would not submit.

D. Morgan: Dear Sir--the advices of yesterday and to-day, from our forces in Virginia, give, in my judgment, a new aspect to the campaign. For the present we are on the defensive, and our capital seems almost as likely to be taken as that of the enemy. --under such circumstances, I think no loyal man in the Union, who has not imperative obligations in another direction, and whose health will permit, should omit to tender his services to the country. Permit me through you,

new and dangerous counterfeits. These counterfeits, are especially dangerous; from the fact that spurious issues of one of them were made a year ago or more, and the discrepancies between the genuine and the counterfeit then pointed out by the papers. This new spurious issue has corrected all the errors and variations of the former counterfeits of the same date and denomination. The Journal says: The first counterfeit is of the denomination of $100, interest bearing note, dated Sept. 1st, 1862, printed by Keatinge & Ball, Columbia, S. C. The second is a Hoyer & Ludwig $20 bill, dated Sept. 2d, 1861. In the hundred dollar counterfeit the face of Mr. Calhoun, at the lower left hand corner of the bill, is very badly executed, especially the mouth, which looks as if something were held in it causing the lips to protrude. The imprint immediately under is in larger letters than in the genuine, and the b in Columbia is defective, whereas it is perfect in the genuine. In the g
