The Boston Daily Advertiser prints the following suggestion,
furnished by a gentleman abroad, respecting the disposition to be made of the
Fort Donelson prisoners:
“I propose that they be exchanged for slaves, on the
principle of southern representation, five secessionists for three slaves,
reversing the order of values.”
