The following is General Meade's telegram to his superior officer: Gettysburg, July 4, 1863, 10 P. M. Major-General Halleck: A proposition made by General Lee under flag of truce, to exchange prisoners, was declined by me. George G. Meade, Major-General. Rebellion Records, vol. XXVII. His action was confirmed by his Government. On October 1, 1864, when the number of prisoners was large on both sides, General Lee wrote to General Grant substantially as follows: To alleviate the sufferings of our soldiers, I propose the exchange of prisoners of war taken by the armies operating in Virginia, man for man, or upon the basis established by the cartel. On the next day General Grant replied: I could not of right accept your proposition further than to exchange prisoners captured within the last three days, and who have

Battery Harrison was so important to the Confederates, that a desperate! attempt was made Oct. 1, 1864. to retake it under the immediate direction of General Lee, who massed some of his best troops against it, under Generals Hoke and Field. They were driven back with a loss of seven battle-flags, and the almost annihilation of Clingman's (North The Butler medal. Carolina) brigade.

nfederate prisoner released went back to the ranks, while a large proportion of the prisoners at Andersonville belonged to regiments whose time was expired and in many cases had been mustered out of service. Therefore, had their physical condition permitted it, few would have returned to the ranks, or could have been utilized for further service. It was, of course, greatly to the advantage of the Confederacy to exchange, as their resources were dwindling alarmingly. General Lee, on October 1, 1864, again proposed an exchange to General Grant. It was met by the question whether negro soldiers who had been slaves would be exchanged. General Lee, acting under instructions, wrote that negroes belonging to citizens were not considered subjects of exchange, and General Grant declined any further discussion. When it seemed that relief by exchange was not probable, Three views of Libby prison after the fall of Richmond An important source of exchange 125,000 prisoners—mostly

c, with a promotion to major-general of volunteers in May. An appointment as brigadier-general of the regular army followed the battle of Antietam, in which he was wounded. In September, 1862, he rose to corps commander, and was at the head of the Center Grand Division in Burnside's organization. He was commander of the Army of the Potomac from January 26, 1863, to June 28th. Later, he exhibited great gallantry as corps commander at Lookout Mountain, and in the Atlanta campaign. On October 1, 1864, he was placed at the head of the Northern Department, and served at the head of other departments until he was retired, as the result of a paralytic stroke, with full rank of major-general, in October, 1868.
