At tile Meeting of the 1st inst., between our respect ive staff officers, Maj. J. B. Eustis, A. A. G., and Lieut Col. Warner, I.G., intended to arrange such prelimi naries as the time ami place of delivery, &c,, 11 com munication was received from you, rendering, 1 regret to inform you. an exchange of prisoners impossible. Your refusal to receive in exchange your soldiers belonging to “regiments whose limes are out, aud who have been discharged,” disclo.es a fixed purpose on tlie part of your Government to doom to hopeless cap tivity those prisoners whose term of service lias expired or will soon expire. The new principle which you seek to inerpo ate upon the cartel of our respective Governments, as well as upon the laws and customs of war, will not be sanction ed by me. All captives taken in war who owe no obligations to the captors, must stand upon tfie same equal footing. The duration of these terms of service can certainly impose no dirties or obligations on the captors. The volunteers of a day and tlieconRcript for the war,who may be captured in war, are equally subject to all ofthe burthens and equally eutitled to all of the Y’our original order was stopped of all pretences; you anfi.ionced the edict for the sole reason that it was “to the interest of the United States.” This alone, yon offered to us and the civilized world, as an all sufficient reason for disregarding the laws ot God and man. Y'uu say that “General Johnston himself very wisely and properly removed the families all the way from Dal ton down.” Dis due to that gallant soldier and gentleman to say that no act of his distinguished career gives the least color to your unfounded aspersiou upon his conduct. He depopulated no villages, nor towns, nor cities, either friendly or hostile. He offered and extended friendly aid to his unfortunate fel low citizens who desired to flee from your frater nal embraces. Y'ou nre equally unfortunate in your attempt to find 1 a justification foi this net of cruelty, either in U e *1* - 1 fence of Jonesboro’ bv General Hardee, or of Atlanta > by myself. General Hardee defended his position in ; froir of Aonesbom’ at the expense of injury to the 1 houses, an ordinary, proper und justifiable act of war. j I defended Atlanta at the same risk and cost..

My offer to exchange t he’prisoners captured during the campaign precludes au intervention on my part in the delivery to discriminate between your^prisoners, as all would have been deliveijtd; and even had it beeii intended, this discrimination between your men, whose term of service had and had not expired, would haveoeen impossible, and eould not have beer, effected, as I had no reliable means of ascertaining what pro portion of your men were entitled to their discharge. Y’our avowal that this clasts of your soldiers will not be exchanged, but will be rewarded by tlie suffering and privations incident to military imprisonment, be cause their boldness and courage subjected them to capture, although their term of service had expired, is deeply regretted by me, as, I share the earnest desire of my Government to release from prolonged confine ment the large number of prisoners hel i by both par ties. Permit me to hope that this declared policy of of your Goverpment will be reconsidered, as it is unjustly oppressive to those whom the hazards of military service has rendered prisoners, and is vio lative of the well understood obligations assumed by a government towards those who are enlisted iu its service.
