Doctors Hanniston and Swain, of the l4th
Brooklyn Regiment, who were taken prisoners
at Bull Run, arrived here this evening via Fl
Monroe from Richmond. They we're released
on parole ard came with the 81 wounded prison
ers. They give most deplorable account Of
the condition of our wounded and the manner
they have been treated by the rebels. Accord
ing to their account our prisoners have suffered
the torments of the damned, and the wonder is
that any OF them are now alive. It now appears
that the 81 wounded whom they released were
cases the rebel Doctors could not cure there
fore they we're permitted to return home.
The rebel government had learned something
regarding the probable expedition South, which
produced the greatest exciten ent throughout
the Gulf and Cotton States. It was believed
that vast numbers of the troops now in Virginia
would be called to the respective States where
| these attacks we're apprehended.

also of medicines Our wounded frequently had
to 60 without in many critical cases. Tea, cot
fee and sugar were almost impossible to procure
for love or money.

Justice Johnson decided Yesterday that under
the act OF congress foroidding the sale oil liq,
uors to soldiers, 1t IS not illegal to give it away.
Ihis striped pig decision is SO opposed to the
express enactment of Congress that Government
will not submit to it, If this local magistrate
continues to hamper the Government with this
absurd decision, Gen. Mcclellan will administer
a dose OF martial law to both liquor sellers and
Justices.
