of June last, with the intention of endeavoring
to reach the Polo by following Perry’s tract to
the westward of Greenland. Jf unsuccessful, it
was their purpose to return and spend the winter
in Spitzbergen, and repiuiie their journey the
following season. Intelligence is also looked
for with great anxiety from Mr. Hall, who sailed
from New London onboard a whaler'll months
ago, with the avowed intention of making search
for additional relics or for so me surviving mem

will possess novel interest, particularly from
the fact that Mr. Hall will be unaccompanied by

In your is~ue of the Bth, you advert to a cor
respondence between Gen. Grant and Gen. Polk,
upon the subject ct an exchange ot prisoners.—
As the public may be interested in the nature
and results of that correspondence, I have ob
taiued from headquarters the subjoined copies ot
it, which 1 enclose tor publication. The answer
of the Secretary of War, it is understood, has
just been received, and is of such a character as
to enable Gen. Polk to exercise his own discre
tion in the premises.

Sir —In the skirmish of yesterday, in which
both parties behaved with so much gallantry,
m any unfortunate men were left upon the field
of battle who it was impossible to provide for.
1 now send, in the interest of humanity, to
have these unfortunates collected, and medical
attendance secured them.
Col. Webster, Chief of 'Engineers, District
Southeast Missouri, goes bearer of this, and will
express to you my views upon the course that
should be pursued under circumstances such as
thtse of yesterday.

Brigadier General IT. S. Grant, U. S. A:
I have received your note in regard to your
wounded and killed left on the battle held after
yesterday's engagement.
The lateness of the hour at which my troops
returned to the principal scene of the action pre
vented my bestowing the care upon your wouned
which I desired. Such attentions as were prac
ticable were shown them, and measures were
taken at an early hour this morning to have
them all brought into my hospitals. Provision
was also made for taking care of your dead.
The permission you desire under your flag of
truce is granted with pleasure, under such re
strictions as the exigencies of our service may
require.
In your note you say nothing of an exchange
of prisoners, though you send me a private mes
sage as to your willingness to release certain
wounded men and some invalids, taken from our
list of sick in camp, and expect in return a cor
responding list of prisoners. My own feelings
would prompt me to waive again the unimpor
tant affectation of doclining to recognize these
States as belligerents; but my Government re
quires all prisoners to be placed at the disposal
of the Secretary of War. I have dispatched him
to kDow if the case of the severely wounded by
me would form an exception.
I have the honor to he,
Your obedient servent.
