La., June 23, 1863, being eight in number, and eight other officers captured from your forces in Arkansas, have arrived in this city from Johnson's Island to be exchanged. I will deliver them to you or any other officer duly authorized to receive them at Red River Landing at such time as you may designate. At the same time I will deliver to you all other prisoners of war belonging to the C. S. forces of the Trans-Mississippi Department whom we have at this station. They number less than 100, and the entire delivery will apply to cancel the indebtedness now existing against us for the excess of the delivery of February 26th, utlimo.

I have information from Major-General Curell, agent for exchange at Mobile, to whom I delivered the C. S. naval prisoners held at this station on the 4th instant, that Admiral Buchanan has been delivered to his friends at Richmond. His delivery with that to Major Curell furnished full equivalents for the delivery of naval prisoners to me on the 26th ultimo, and the latter have accordingly been declared exchanged.

I am, major, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

CHAS. C. DWIGHT,

Colonel and Agent for Exchange, Mil. Div. of West Mississippi.

It is desirable to use the prison houses at Salisbury, N. C., as ordnance workshops. Cannot the prisoners be removed to Danville or to some safe point, that these buildings may be appropiated as suggested?
