"Going out for Wool and coming home Shorn." We are greatly disappointed that Kilpatrick and his hen-roost warriors were not all taken. Yet, although the scoundrels did not meet with the full measure of retribution due to their crimes, we do not recollect to have heard or read of a more thorough failure, short of entire annihilation. They were sent to capture the city of Richmond and liberate the Yankee prisoners. --They not only did not capture the city, but the city captured a large number of them, as Algiers captured Lieut.

The resignations are, Cassins M Clay, Jas A Garfield, Schuyler Hamilton, Charles S Hamilton, E D Keyes

He stated that he would sign any cartel which was based upon principles of entire equality; and he proposed that exchanges should take place according to the date of capture; first, however, exhausting the list of officers; the scale of equivalents to be any one which we might present which would operate equally; for instance, the one exhibited to him by General Wool at a conference between them, and which was taken from a cartel between the United States and Great Britain in 1812; the exchanged persons to be conveyed by the captors at the captors' expense to some point of delivery convenient to the other party; the rule of exchange to operate uniformly without any right of reservation or exception in any particular case. "He expressed ignorance of any complaint against this Government in any matter of exchanging prisoners, and pledged hims
