FROM LIBBY PRISON, A letter, dated Nov. 4th, received here Satur- day from an officer of the U. S. Army, 4 pris- oner in Libby Prison, at Kichmond, says “There is no prospect now of any exchange, although we number some 13,000, 1,000 of which number are commissioned ofticers.’* SENT TO POINT LOOKOUT. ‘The prisoners of war (privates) who reached here yesterday morning from the Army of the Potomac, and who were placed for the time teingin the Old Capitol, were evut to Point | Lookout yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock. i MORE PRISONERS Filty eight more prisoners of war reached here from the Army of the Potomac last night, | nbout 100 clock. They were committed to ths Wid Capitol, by order of Capt. Todd. (sees - the Press, Morality.’? The Caronicl: of this morning has the follow- ing paragraph in relation to its singular edi- | trial of yesterday under the above head, cen- suring the papers of Washington that have }uol shed the court proceedings in the Burt+- nett euse : “1f the article in yesterday's Chronele, re- y cotemporaries, Meeting upon some ot our city Dad met the eyes of the proprictor or editor-in- chiet before it appeared, 1t never would have been published. However wo may differ with other journals or journalists, we have always endeaxored to do so without employing harsi, perscn al phrases.” We are not surprised to learn by this dis- claimer that the article in question, so olfensiv,, in its asevmptions and so wanting in common courte-y, had not received the supervision of 0 experienced a journalist as the proprictor of | the Chronicle. For he certainly is aware that it ie the pra-tice of first-class journals the world | over, from the Londo Times down, to repor; «Brough thick and thin” in criminal trials: « Practice not. however, carried ont by the Wash- angton papers to that extent, noteven in the Bur- tenett case, as the Chronicle must know. He is ‘weil aware, too, that his own columus are no: @o clear of offense, if offense it be, even in | eases not exactly matter of court record, aa t Allow ths Chronicle to set u neigntors. But the Chronicle Intimates that it disclaims | the offensive manner, used, of differing with its | cotemporaries rather than the fact. That isto! #ay, tt Bolds to its opinion that the least eaid of e@mob cases the better. Now, we can conceive why the Burtenett: and Maude Roberts’, and all the swarm who are now busy in their hellish work in this city should deprecate the flood of light thrown upon | their doings by the publication mentioned, but | why any jourralist should wish to shield them | itom the public gaze is not so intelligible, for The Courts, aud Pabli | P 43s @ censor of its | is certainly not so wedded to ats some-time-ago enunciated project for re- | weberating Washington and its morals by an | influx of “new comers” as to hail as among the “regenerators” the crowd of infamone men | and women of the Burienett and Maude | Roberts atamp, who have come here to ply | their trade in such numbers as to elbow from their homes whole neighborhoods of reepect- | able citizens. There are fifteen thongand pros- | titutes in the city-of Waghington, aud the nuin- ber 02 their pimps and retainers ure legion. Does the Chronicl- thing this terrible nicer is to be healed by covering it with the plaster of sil ,or by the slow action of the conrts, | when indictments against some of the most i notorious houses of prostitution in the city | bave hung unprosecuted for years ! ' We believe our courts, 4s at present cousti- | tuted, are doing their utmost to extirpate these | 1 rrible evils, bus they ¥ ill be powerless unless j the prese—irstead of maintaming a insctivity’'—sball afford them resolute co-ope- | ration, call things by their right names, and | make cuch an expose of these hell-holes and | their inmates as shall arouse the community to | - Asense of its peril, This may not snitthe Suct- | vty for the Promotion of Public Decency by i pantaletting piano-forte legs,—we beg their perdon, limba, not legs,—but it wilt suit the “e0rons common seuse of the community which is not yet inclined tosee the preas emas! enlisted to make its sues text-boox matter for j hool-girls, and which holds a!s) with the | eern old Mnglish moralist, that people who pirueularly affect nice words are peuple of | po ticularly nasty ideas.

The tenor of the information :brought_in by deserters and refugees, as to the alarm in the South, and especially in Richmond, in conse- quence of the food-famine, is infinitely beyond what the Richmond papers venture to di- | yulge. People there ask, if this is the condi- tion of things immediately at the end of the harvest, what will it be through the winter and mp to the distant period when another crop can be raised? They say now that if they have to succumb to the North, it will be. from famine and not by force of arms, and seem prepared to embrace such submission to fate as one not dishonorable to them. THE ARRIVAL OF WOUNDED AND PRI8O- NERS. Sunday night, when the train containing the wounded, numbering two hundred and sixty, arrived at the Maryland avenue depet, the troops who had been sent over to guard the rebels were fortunately on the ground, and by their help, the transferring of the wounded jrom the carsto the ambulances was greatly facilitated, and so harmoniously did they work, stacking their muskets and going into the cars and gently moving the sufferers, that in ap sncredible short space of time the cars were all emptied and the ambulances were on the way to the hospitals. We learn that these | will be all who will be sent down for some time—some of thoes wonnded being only slightly, and others 0 bady that it is thought | ; they will aot bear moving The train containing the prisoners reached here about 2 o'clock yesterday Morning, when the troops to recelye them—a regiment from Capitol Hill, afd a portion of the 35th New Jersey regiment—were formed on each eide of Seventh street, the right resting on the cunsl, and the rebels were placed between the troops and marched mto the Avenue, and thence to the Old Capitol, which had been placed in Texdiness for them.
