On the 30th of July, 1863, I was informed by the Federal agent of exchange, General Meredith, that General John H. Morgan and his officers will be placed in close confinement, and held as hostages for the members of Colonel Streight's command. I repry respectfully, your obedient servant, S. A. Meredith, Brigadier General and Commissioner for Exchange. A few days after the receipt of this letter, General Meredith informed me that General Morgan and his officers were held for others than the members of Colonel Streight's command.

ar. His relations with Colonel William H. Ludlow, the Federal agent of exchange, were always pleasant. Though they frequently clashed, it was as lawyers seeking to gain advantages for their clients, and without personal animosity. With General S. A. Meredith, who succeeded Colonel Ludlow, Colonel Ould was at odds; he preferred to deal with Major Mulford, the assistant agent. He refused to treat with General Butler at first, but finally opened negotiations with him. Colonel Ould had one advand made similar declarations. Colonel Ould furnished a schedule of captures, some of which were pronounced legitimate while the validity of others was denied. When his paroles were exhausted all further exchanges ceased for a time. Brigadier-General S. A.

pect to the distribution of these supplies. This at length became such a grievance, that on November 18th, 1863, I addressed the following letter to Brigadier-General S. A. Meredith, then Federal Agent of Exchange, in answer to a letter of General Hitch-cock, forwarded to me: Confederate States of America, war Department, Richmond, Va., Nov. 18th 1863. Brigadier-General S. A. Meredith, Agent of Exchange: Sir,--The letter of General Hitchcock has been received. Until the Confederate authorities appeal to be relieved from the obligation to treat prisoners of war according to the laws of civilized warfare, or offer as an explanation or excuse for iy I wrote on the 11th December, 1863, the following letter to the Federal Agent of Exchange: Confederate States of America, December 11th 1863. Brigadier-General S. A. Meredith, Agent of Exchange: Sir,--As the assent of the Confederate Government to the transmission by your authorities and people, of food and clothing to

t avowal of the intentions of his Government as to the delivery of prisoners, but in vain. At length, on the twentieth of October, 1863, I addressed to Brigadier-General Meredith the following letter, to wit: Richmond, Va., October 20, 1863. Brigadier-General S. A. Meredith, Agent of Exchange: sir: More than a month ago Brigadier-General S. A. Meredith, Agent of Exchange: sir: More than a month ago I asked your acquiescence in a proposition that all officers and soldiers on both sides should be released in conformity with the provisions of the cartel. In order to obviate the difficulties between us, I suggested that all officers and men on both sides should be released unless they were subject to charges; in which event theoes come, I hope it will soon. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Ro Ould, Agent of Exchange. On the twenty-ninth of October, 1863, I received from General Meredith a communication informing me that my proposal of the twentieth was not accepted. I was insultingly told that if the excess of prisoners was delivered they w

r, suffer for the guilty. * * * On this letter, Mr. Davis makes this endorsement: The views of General Lee I regard as just and appropriate. Contrast this letter and this endorsement with the treatment accorded by General Sherman to prisoners, as detailed by him on page 194, Vol. 2 of his Memoirs, and you will see the difference between the conduct of a Christian and a savage. But we must proceed with the subject of the exchange of prisoners: Some time in the summer of 1863, General S. A. Meredith was appointed a Federal Commissioner of Exchange, and in September Judge Ould attempted to open negotiations with him for a resumption of the cartel. To this attempt by letter no reply was received. He renewed these efforts on October 20th, 1863, saying: I now propose that all officers and men on both sides be released in conformity with the provisions of the cartel, the excess on one side or the other, to be on parole. Will you accept this? I have no expectation of an answer,
