Mosrerat, June 31, 1865. « ‘Im your paper of yesterday I have read an editorial, in | which, after remarking upon a legislative report which * geems recently to havo gained pubdhcation, emanating from @ committee of the Houre of Representatives of the ‘Confederate Congress, relative to tho treatment of Union prisoners of war, you Bay:—‘‘We take it for granted that ‘tho report now published is that which was mado by the committee of the rebel Senate, of which Henry 8. Foote, nce of Mesissippi, but now of parts unknown, wasa qmomber, That gentleman, after coming through into the Uniom lines, stated to his own son-in-law that, during the Invostigations of tho subject, they obtained positive facts and data, proving beyond a @hadow of doubt that the system of inhuman treatment starvation of our prisoners wos decided upon in a Cabinot meeting at Richmond, for the express purpoce of ®reaking down the constitutions of the men, and making chem useless as soidiers whon exchanged.” I regret to ‘say (lint there ars sovoral orrors in regard to matters of fact in the sentences quoted, which I feel bound at once 0 correct.

The prisoner's counsel to-day developed their line of defence, which will be temporary insanity, arising from jealousy at Burroughs’ maarriage with another lady. RETURN OF GENERAL POPE TO HIS COMMAND. General Pope, having completed his arrangements in reference to Indian affairs in the Northwest, left to-day for St. Louis, on his way to resume his command. THE WALKER RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION. The General Land Office has reccived from the Indian Bureau a map of the Walker river Indian reservation, surveyed by Eugene Monroe, under orders to Agent Lockhart. The reservation is surrounded by high moun- tains, embracing Waiker lake, twenty-three miles long, by an average width of four miles, the lake being in tho southern part of tho reserve. The area of the reserve, in- cluding the lake, is three hundred and sixteen thousand six hundred and sixty-six acres. The Walker river dis- embogues into the Walker lake im the neighborhood of the intersection of the thirty-eighth degree of r lati- tude with the one hundred and nineteenth longitude, west of Greenwich, the lake having no outlet. The premises wore set apart for Indian purposes as early as 1869, by tho Commisstoner of Indian Afairs, but its boundary had never been actually surveyed until December last. THE PUBLIC LANDA. By returns reovived at the General Land Office for the month ending June 30, 1865, from the local office at |. Minneapolis, Minnesota, there were taken for actual settlement, under the Homestead act, 4,748 acres, of pub- lic land located by military warrants and scrip, 1,907 acres; and sold for cash, 1,124 acres, amounting to $2,397. Notice of intention to claim 3,200 acres under the Pre- emption laws were also filed at that office during the month. A patent has just been issued to the State of Illinois for three thousand two handred and sixty-nine acres of swamp land, falling within what was formerly the Chi- cago land district. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasunoton, July 6, 1865. Washington andor the new regime and Washington under the old are two very different cities. Formerly the capital, when Congress was not in session, was as dull as a fashionable watering place in the winter. Many of the hotels and nearly all the multitudinous boarding houses were closed, and dust settled on the door steps. But the war has changed all this, and for the bettor too, notwith- standing the sneers and lamentations of some of the fossil relics of what used to be considered the old fami- Hos. These ancient Suckers were, and to some extent still are, the pest of the metropolis, They are all in office ; some were born in office, some achieved office, and some had themselves thrust into office. They could no more live out of office than a tadpole out of water. Many of them havg been moulding in the departments for years. They support all administrations that support them. Once turn any of them out of place, and they instantly discover that the§country is going straightway to the canine quadrupeds. Such is their acute political discrimination that they thought that when the South abandoned Washington four years ago, all waa lost but honor. Others of the old residents, who do not hold office but hold real estate and affect to sneer at all placemen, have Deen rendered quite wealthy by the increased value of property and the enormous rise in rents. Houses which during the first summer of the war rented for about three hundred dollars, now bring in a rental of one thou- sand and twelve hundred dollars. The old Washingtoni- ans aro mostly benefitted by this monetary change. ‘THR PATRONIZING STYLE of ther talk is something supremely funny. “Ab, the city Is very much changed now from what it was before the war.” Andthen with a languid toss of the head, Miss Sophronia Sucker continues, “You should have seen the sociaty here before the Southerners loft—such style, such high bred elogance of maaner, such courtly suavi yoy me! all Oy now.” “Really !’’ you ejacu- late in sad “Yes, indeed,” replies Misa So- phronia, “ We Naga bheaben, these new peo- ic have introdt #0 man; ‘and innovations fee really—" ‘and the teniance, tated with a plain- le Jad and Pint of en. rent y really one can’t ride in them, be- cause you know ono never knows who weho will brush up ee es for the Conf fous,” ye gry ‘more of int aad Sal =. not a New » patiently Me Sophronia’s father cis nye prawenhy hn oh ww} em and will pay all Ee people for thee somewhat incred: iy and wut then, you know, We never ¢: that wo shall ever re- im &e., ut won't. as saved all city property from the lundors, how mach these Washii Snians Teel” The loss of a few sticks of wood is a tet calamity; but the preserva- or, mit f, ignoring them by hat nothing to e ing them pA feat fom ving De and ja that Washington flocs promely a are su absurd, ¢ houses they live in here, and the node of farnishing them, their om talked of entertainments and thoir carriages and bores, World not be considered even third rate in New Yor Beeton, pe or even the ‘mailed dite Cities of Wot the North an Wost.

DRY GOODS EXCHANGE. Association of Dry Goods Merchantse—The Hooms Opened in Park Place—Deal- ers in all the Prineipnl Cities in the Union rolled Among Its Members—Its Objects and the Facilities Offered to the Trade, &. * The public has been fora long time familiar With the workings of the Corn Kxchange, the Produce Exchange, Stock Exchange, Real Kstate Exchange, Petroloum Ex- change, and other organizations of that nature, for the benefit of those engaged in those particular branches of business in our city. Weare now able to add to this list au organization under the title of the New York Dry Goods Exchange. Our leading dry goods merchants have for along time felt the necessity of an organization of this kind, but none existed until within the last month. Acommencement has at fast been made, and over one hundred of our leading merchants have recorded their ames and paid the neccesary fees to enable them to par- tietpate in its benefits, A regular fee haa been paid for membership, and at a rate which is moderate for the facil. ities obtained. Spacious rooms have been provided for their accom- Modation on the second floor of 49 and 51 Park place, and fitted up in good style, The room ts fifty feet by one hundred. The walls at each end are decorated with portraits or engravings of the leading generals and naval heroes of the war, including Generals Grant, Sheridan, Sherman, Vice Admiral Farragut and President Lincoln. A number of tables, about three feet wide and ten feet long, are placed through the centre of the room for the accommodation of those who bring samples of their goods. A telegraph office has been opened in the rooms— thus affording direct communication with all the princi- pal cities in the Northern States, which will be oxtended to the Southern States as soon as business there revives and renders it necessary. There is also a bulletin board, on which ‘3 recorded the price of gold at the Gold Room every fifteen minutes during the day, and a summary of other important news, including the prices of such staples as cotton, wool, &c. It thus meets the wants of the dry goods dealers, including the importers and the wholesale merchants, It differs in its organization from other exchanges in the fact that it embraces in its membership not only the merchants in thiscity, but of all other large cities, as well ag insurance companies, transportation, steamship and express companics—one of its objects being to fur- nish a rendezvous for merchants doing business in Phila- delphia, Boston, Cincinnatt, Chicago, St, Louis and other cities, and there meet the New York merchants with their samples, select their goods and transact their busi- bess, including insurance and arrangements for trans- portation, without delay of time and trouble in passing around from store to store. Every facility necessary for the accommodation of the out of town merchants who become members has been provided at the rooms. The gold bulletin enables those merchants who base their operations in purchasing and selling upon the price of gold to conduct their transactions as well as if they were in the Gold Room. This exchange was only started about the middie of Jume; but, judging from the names on the subsetiption books, its success is fully established. Among the names of the members ‘are over one hundred merchants of this city, including many of the oldest and most prosperous houses, whore names figure among the hundreds of thousands in our internal revenue income lists, and are as familiar to the mereantile community of the nation as housebold words. ‘There are also the names of leading merchants of Chi- ago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, New Orleans, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Detroit.

Amost distressing and fatal calamity occurred here about mine o'clock last night, resulting in the death of Captain John List, an old and prominent citizen of this city, and the wounding of Major McPhail, chief paymas- terof the department. A squad of the provost guard were in pursuit of an escaped prisoner, when an order was given to fire, which was obeyed by one of the members, the ball taking effect in the thigh of Captain List, sever- ing an artery, and then passing through the foot of Major McPhail, producing a painful flesh wound.
