Exchange of officers.

It is to be hoped that no exchange limited to officers will be sanctioned by our authorities. The Yankee Government cares nothing for the imprisonment of its private soldiers. They are poor men and foreigners, who have no friends and no political influence in the United States. Our hold upon the officers is a different matter. They generally belong to a class which has the ear of their Government, and they deserve punishment more than their ignorant tools. Besides, the Yankees have an unlimited supply of men, and can afford, to let their prisoners remain here forever. If there is to be any exchange, our brave rank and file, who have been so long languishing in Northern prisons, should be the first restored.
