One thing is certain, though we may have guard sufficient to coifvey the prisoners to" a point for exchange, there is not to remove them to a safer, locality.

Messr*. Editor*: "Whatever may have produced the present low rates of specie value in Confederate money, it is certainly true, that professional men, mechanics, artists, and others who are not producers of the prime necessities of life support are the greatest sufferers, because of the present high prices of the productions of the farms, and manufactories of our country, viz: Wheat-' flour, corn, meats, milk; butter, lard, salt, soap,1 .clothing, leather, iron.? More or less of all these must be had by every person, in order to have common living; to say nothing about sugar, coffee, molasses, calico, &c., which j many producers among us are enabled to purchase in some measure by the in- j come of sales made at these high prices. That is to say: Wheat-flour, 23 prices, corn, 20, pork 30, beef 20, milch-cows 40, butter 60, lard 40, salt 100, soap 20, cloth 45, leather 70, iron i 40. These prices when added together, |pake the sum of 503. Now divide this sum 503, by 12,? the number of items charged, and the quotient is 41 11-12, or near 42 times more than'peace prices, or 42 Confederate dollars for one dollar of Bank issue of 1860. It is plain therefore, that professional men, mechanics, artists, and other mere consumers of the aforesaid articles, are living on expense 42. times greater than in time of j>eace. Now in order that pro-' fessional men, mechanics,^artists, and other consumers of the before mentioned articles, do enjoy the *pae living as do the producers of the^aine, they must of neoessitv in self defence demand these articles in barter for their services at peace prices, or 42 Confederate dollars in payment, instead of one I dollar of Bank issue in circulation in the year 1860. Otherwise, this class must become poorer and poorer as their consumption progresses; or they must" beg, starve and go unclothed and unshod, whilst their professions, hnd incomes" do go to enrich the producers, and enable them to pay the higher taxes imposed hy Government. ^ , OBSERVER, x varassjWKflB* ?

From Biohmond, A heavy cannonade was heard during several hours yesterday, the,sound coming from the river.

Later in the day these clouds dis| charged a great quantify of show, which jothw wrap all the lines of Richmond and Petersburg^ We are glad to learn that the late j trouble , about short rations is .now oyer, i It was due to mismanagement on an important piece of railroad, which all the | speculators in the South skeined to have taken bold. The dare will hereafter go through without trans-shipment or change of trains, and the supply will be abundant. . ... PROM HOotf. . . We believe it to be true that the enemy had received a heavy check near the Tennessee river, and that two entire brigades were taken from him; also that Forrest has captured an immense wagon train, with many more prisoners.

The Exchange of Prisoners. A correspondent of the New York Timet Writes to that paper a long oomplaint about the oonduot of the United States Government in leaving its men in the Confederate ; prisons. He says: tn "my opifiioti, $ie Secretary has taken and obstinately held a position of coldblOOdl ed policy, (that is, he thinks it polioy^in > this matter, more cruel than anything done . by the sebessiohhfo.

He, too, h? s taken his stand on the exchange of ail blacl !_ soldiers, has persisted in it without regait s to consequences, and has made the whole o d the large and complicated-question of gene ral exchange turn upon that one item alone while it is bat a drop in the bucket. Thei he makes it too muoh a personal contest an< , matter of vanity who shall conquer, and ai Q occasion to revenge the bad temper and in suits of the South toward himself. In my Opinion, the anguish and death o n these ten or fifteen thousand Amerioai >. young men, with ail the added and inoal i- cnlable Borrow, long drawn out, amid fami <e lies at home, rests mainly upon the head >t of members of oar Uwn Government; ani :e if they persist, the death of the reWainde )f of the Union prisoners, and Often wore ^ than death, Will be added, le The Timet, in an editorial on the sam subject, nses the following language: is It is worse than useless to disguise or lg ir nore the fact that the condition of Ufcici e prisoners in rebel hands is-erciting the pre i Jaaf taolinrr in nnhHrt milld.

Hood on the eve of jrithdrawipg: from near Nashville was attacked vigorously by the enemy, who njassed a heavy force and threw it upon his centre; composed of Cheatham'a and Bates' divisions when these Veteran troops gave. way.

About the same date Forrest, captured an , efitire brigade bf cavalry and 600 wagons.
