The effective check thus offered to the advance of the invaders ai all points was such us to afford hope ot their early ex pulsion from portions of the territory previously occupied hy ihem, when the country was painfully surprised by the Intelligence that the officer in command ol Cumberland Gap had surrendered tihat important and easily defensible pass Without firing a shot upon the snmmjons of a Joree still believed to have beea in adequate to its redaction, and when rein forcements were within supporting dis tanc-.-. ai-d had been ordered to his aid the entire garrison, including the com mander.being still held prisoners by the enemy, I am unable to Ruggesl any explan ation of this disaster, which laid open Last I ennessee and Southwestern Vir gium to hostile operations, and broke the line of communication 1 etween the seat of Government and Middle Tennessee. 1 818 easy success of the enemy was fol low d by an advance of Gen. Rosecrans into Georgia, and our army evacuated Chattanooga and availed itself of the op portunity thus afforded of winning, on the field of Chickamanga, one of the most brilliant and decisive victories of the war. lho signal defeat o< Gen. Rosecrans was followed by his retreat into Chattanooga where his imperilled position had the im’ mediate effect of relieving the pressure ol the invasion at other points, forcing the concentration for his relief oflarge bodies ot troops withdrawn from the armies in the Mississippi Valley and Northern Vir ginia. The combined forces thus accumulated againa! us in Tennessee so greatly out numbered our army as to encourage the enemy to attack. After a long and severe bcttie, in which great carnage was iuflict ed on him. some ol our troops iuexplic ably abandoned positions of great strength, and by a disorderly retreat compelled ihe commander to withdraw the forces else where successfully, aud finally to retire with his whole army to a position some twenty or thirty miles to the rear, It is belieyed that if the troops who yielded to the assault had fought with the valor which they had displayed on previous oc casions, and which was manifested ia this battle on the other parts of the line, the enemy would have beeu repulsed with very great slaughter, and cur country would have escaped the misfortune, and the army the mortifications, of the first defeat that has resulted from misconduct bv the troops. In the meantime the army of General Burnside war driyen from all its field ,positions in Eastern Tennessee, and forced to retreat into its entrench ments at Knoxville, where, for some weeks, it was threatened with capture by the forces under Gen. Lougstreet. No infor mation has reached me of the final result of tfie operations of onr commander though intelligence has arrived of his withdrawal lrom that place. While, therefore, onr success in driving the enemy from onr soil has not eqnalled the expectations confidently entertained at the commencement of the campaign, his further progress has been checked. If we are forced to regret losses in Ten nessee and Arkansas, we are not without ground for congratulation on success in Louisiana and Texas. On the sea coast he is exhausted by vain efforts to" capture our ports, while on Lbe northern frontier he has in torn felt the pressure, and dreads I tl, renewal of invasion.

I regret to inform yon that the enemy have returned to the barbarous policy with which they inaugurated the war, and that the exchange of prisoners Ifca been lor some time suspended.

An agreement for exchange in the incipiency of the war had just been con cluded when the fall of Fort Doneleon re vered the previons state of things, and gave them an excess of prisoners. The agreement was immediately repudiated by them, and so remained till the fortune of war again placed us in possession of the larger number. A new cartel was then maae, and under it, for many months, we restored to them many thousands of pris oners in excess of those whom they held for exchange, and encampments of surplus paroled prisoners delivered up by ns were established in the United Bffites, where the men were able to receive the comforts ““, 8 1 r ?C ? 04 communication with their homes and families. In July last the fortunes of war again favored the enemv, and they were enaoled to exchange for duty the men preyioualy delivered to them, against those captured and P&roled at Vicksburg and Port Hud eon. The prisoners taken at Gettysburg, however, remained in the® bands, and should have been at once returned to oar lines on parole, to await exchange. In stead of executing a duty imposed by the plainest dictates of justice and good faith pretexts were instantly sought for bolding them in permanent captivity. General orders rapidly succeeded each other from the bureaus at Washington, placing new constructions on an agreement which had given me to no dispute while we retained * the advantage in the number of prisoners. With a disregard of honorable obligations almost unexampled, the enemy did doi hesitate, in addition to retaining the pris oners captured by them, to declare null (the paroles given by the prisoners cap tured jjy ns in the name series of engage ments, and liberated on condition of not egain serving until, exchanged, They have since openly insisted on treating the pa roles given by their owufsoldiere aa invkl id, and those oi our soldWßh.giw® under precisely similar circumstances) as bind* mg* A succession of similar adjust pro*
