of exchange. On Tuesday, we sent one thousand Yankee prisoners to the enemy. The Courier says: "The agreement between the commissioners of exchange on both sides for a suspension of all firing in the harbor and upon the city during the continuance of the exchange of prisoners at that point was unintentionally violated by a sharp-shooter at Fort Sumter on Monday. The arrangement was not supposed to include the intervals in the exchange of prisoners, and the order to the garrison was to cease firing only during flag-of-truce communications. One of our men, observing a body of men at Gregg, fired his rifle, the ball taking effect upon one of the party, and, it is believed, killing him. The enemy thereupon opened all their batteries upon Fort Sumter, and kept up a heavy fire for about an hour, firing twenty six shots. As soon as possible, the mistake was rectified by Colonel Hatch, and an apology tendered by Captain Huguenin, which was accepted as satisfactory by the enemy."
