The Daily Dispatch: February 17, 1864., [Electronic resource], The correspondence on the exchange question. (search)
question of exchange of prisoners: It appears from official documents that the commission of Gen. Hitchcock of December 16th, authorized him to confer with Gen. Butler and designate him as an agent to procure the exchange of soldiers and officers, upon terms not conflicting with the position of the department relative to colorprescribe what agents the United States shall employ, self-respect requires that the Confederate Government refuse to treat with a person so obnoxious, and that Gen. Butler's agency cannot therefore be recognized or his person protected by a flag of truce. Gen. Bulter returned the note, and said in reply, "No right of declaratis attempted." He informs Robert Ould that unless his Cup of truce is respected, all further communication of flag of truce between those authorities and cars must cease. On the 12th of January Gen. Butler writes again, asking for an exchange of the lists of prisoners and of deaths, and proposing the making up monthly lists.
