A s0pFHRRSER ERLzAsED FROA PORP LAFAYETTE.
From TIE Richmond Bispse h, Sept. 60
We had an interview on Saturday with Ir. Q. D.
Harold, of Macon, Georgia, who has recently ar
rived from Fort Lafayette, where he had been I'M
prisoned for a period Of three weeks. Mr.. Harold
was at the North for the purpose of bringing home
his two sisters and niece, and arrested at Jer

have accepted any terms of release with the priYi~
ege Of returning home, and in doing 80 he adopted

upon his parole Of honor, and then returned to

war fever continued to rage with considerable
