The follow Cg :.s a letter addressed by the
Solicitor f the War Department to a gen
tletiau in B st-on, in reply to some inquiries
sor 'information as to the abuses of the ces
sation in the exchange of prisoner* :
War Pleas.:.ient, Washington City,
Nov. 20, JB6-3 Dear Sir: Your letter cf
the 17th has received, in which you
inquire whether any documents are now ac
cessible, or will 1 keiy soon be published by
cur Government relating to the exchange
of prisoners of war, and you justly remark
that the excites a deep interest in
consequence of s he sufferings of our men in
Richmond.
The correspondence published in the Rich
mond papers dots not, it is thought present
the matter i * its true light. In a few days
t he entire correspondence will be made here
by authority.
There are several serious difficulties in
the way of continuing an exchange of pris
oners. One is the bad faith of the enemy
in puMi.og into active service many thou
sands of parole! prisoners, captured at Vicks
burg and elsewhere, without releasiug any
of oui soldiers held by them. But another
difficulty of still graver importance is the
peremptory refusal of t ho enemy to exchange
colored soldiers end their white officers upon
any terms whatever. It is well known that
they have threatened to sell the captured
soldiers into slavery, and to liaug their
white officers.
The Government demands that all officers
and soldiers should be fairly exchanged,
otherwise no more prisoners of war will bo
given up. The hath of the Government is
pledged to these officers and troops that
they shall be protected, and it cannot and
will not abandon to the savage cruelty of
slave masters a single officer or soldier who
ha> been called on to defend the flag of his
country, and thus exposed to the hazards of
war.
It has beeu suggested that exchanges
might go on until all except the* colored
troops and their white officers have been
given up.# if this were allowed the
rebelfl would not, only be relieved of the
burden cf maintaining our troops, but they
would get back their own men, leUdniuy
their power over the very persons whom wo
are solemnly bound to rescue, and upo/t
whom th / could then, without, tear of re
taliation, oury into execution the inhuman
cruelties they have so basely threatened.
The iTefc-ideu- has ordered that the stern
law o ; ‘ retaliation shall without hesitation
he enter; cd to.avenge the death of the first
V nion -.TTer, of whatever color, whom the
• uemy &h.r. lin cold blood destroy, or sell
into slavey. All other questions between
us may bu postponed for future settlement,
but the fAr » o utange of colored soldieis
and of then white officers will be insisted
»u bv Gc rernment before another rebel
soldier or office? will be exchanged.
The sufferings of our inen in Richmond
* vc the subject cf deep regret and sympathy
here; tmd there has been no want of effort
to afford all possible relief.
v cry truly yours,
W;vi. Whiting.
Cotton S|Mi«nilalors Couocripteii.
Two of our citizens, Messrs. John Mehon
and Levi, a short time ago started for Non
cornah, with a view to a speculation in cot
ton. On reading that place the parties
made their purchases and were almost ready
io start back to Memphis, when a guerrilla
party pounoed upon them and informed the
cctton specnlat *n that they were Confede
i ate conscripting officers. The feeling of
the two gentlemen in finding themselves
thus suddenly in the hands of rebel sharks
can in the words of yellow covered litera
ture, better be “imagined than described.”
They made all sorts of protestations, but the
guerrillas were inexarabic, and replied they
would both make splendid soldiers, and
uould not do better than battle in the cause
of their adopted country.
Levi and Mehon theu offered their cap
t-ors four thousand dollars apiece to be ex
empted from the rebel service, but the offi
cer in command informed the two that they
neither wanted their money nor their cotton,
but that they wanted soldiers, and that he
could not think of parting with two such
military looking men as Levi and Mehon.
The'cotton, we understand, was to proceed
to Memphis, and the two gentlemen were
shipped, where, or ail we know, they may
be at this very time doing military service,
a> a great many others are already doing,
in the rebel army.— Bahtin,, Memphis.

The expedition intended Vj effect the lib

may be created by Federal accounts o! a
Canadian plot to burn Western cities, we
give below ail the facts, in which the pubi c
is interested, which may, we lire assured, be
implicity relied on ;
The Washington Government, bavin*? r ■
fused to continue the exchange of pritonera
of w*r under the cartel, >o;nt the Southern
officers, accustomed to a tropical climate, to
Johuson’s Island, where 2jM)O of them were
confined in wretched quarters, abaolutely
unfit to house cattle. There is no reason
to doubt the officers selected lor this prison
were those whom the cold, damp climaia
and exposure would act most prejudicially .
It was, in fact, an to (*cmuiit mur
der, without publicly incurring the odium
of slaughter.
In these circumstances, the Confederate
Government determined to make an attenu t
to rescue the domed officers, aud for this
purpose an expedition wa9 fitted out, con
sisting of 86 officers, under the oomoiand of
one who had distinguished himself in similar
dashiog enterprises, and 300 men. The
officers embarked at Wilmington in the Con
federate steamer Robert E. Lee, and landed
at Halifax.
The cotton and tobacco brought by that
steamer as freight, were sold to furnish the
funds required, amounting to about #llO,-
000. The men came overland through the
States, in small parties, to the general r<e..
dezvous.
The intention was to surprise tne Federal •
garrison at Johnson’s Isknd, liberate tP?
prisoners, convey them to Canada in vwse;i
provided foT that p irp .se, and forward them
by Halifax to Nassau or Bermuda; toe
greater part cl ; v funds being speoiaLy ce
voted to paying tn.\' passage to one of totje
points.
Any further oper . jon* on the lakes were
left to the discretion et the officer in com

the real object of the expedition was to res

bilious in New York “the ralieat g.rl in tl»
world,” of which a paper says:
This is a young lady of year*
of age, who has reached the ainu?mg height
of eight feet one inch, and is still growing
The giaufc boy, who is now at Barmins’*, isr
eight feet high, the girl surpassing him by
on itichj but us the height of the softer #*jr
averages a much smaller hgure than that ol
men, the contrast presented in the c&g* el
the girl is still more marvelous Her face
her arms, her fingers, her feet are in pro
per proportion to her great height—tretaeo
doua in size and length. Her foot is fit
teen inches long, und its width exceeds the
length of many & lady’* dainty pedestal.—
The fingers are huge. An ordinary arm by
the side of this lady’s looks puny and atusi
ed. Her knee reaches nearly to the hip of
a person of ordinary height. She is agree
able and pleasant in manner, quite hand
some for her size, and well proportioned.—
A lady of usual height standing heeide her
seems the veriest ini ant.
The sensation of a person on seeing
this lady rise to her feet is one of positive
fright. To watch her onward progress with
raised eyes is appalling to a person uipre
pared for the sight. To use the expression
of a little girl who saw her rising from her
chair, “Why, she keeps going up. ,r A lady
of five feet rix—and a lady of that haigbfc
is considered quite tall—walks under her
arm without stooping. Her weight consid
ering he size, is not remarkable, being three
hundred and seventy-nine pounds.
The giantess’ dresses are being rapidly
made, to be ready il possible for her appear
ance on Monday. They take 22 yards of
cloth. All her clothes, of coarse, have to
be made for her by special measure, and
