The United States agent of exchange has sent a notice to our agent that the negroes we capture from them in battle must be exchanged as other soldiers are, according to the cartel, which said nothing about color; and if the act of Congress in relation to such soldiers be executed, the United States would retaliate to the utmost extremity. Captains H. W. Sawyer and John Flinn, having been designated by lot for execution in retaliation for two of our captains executed by Gen. Burnside for recruiting in Kentucky, write somewhat lugubriously, in bad grammar and execrable chirography, that, as they never served under Burnside, they should not be made to suffer for his deed. They say we have two of Burnside's captains at Atlanta (and they give their names) who would be the proper victims. I saw a paper to-day, sent to the department, with a list of the United

Michael Lotts and John Franco had disturbed the quietude of the inhabitants of lower Main street, Sunday, by engaging in a set-to on the pavement, for which they were prin the cage. The Mayor said their conduct on the occasion constituted a findable nuisance. Each of them was mulled in the sum of $15, and held to bail in $150 not to engage in any more fights for one year from date. John Flinn, a resident of Castle Thunder, was sent up by Captain Alexander for trial, on the charge of stealing $60 and an overcoat from Michael J.
