From the Richmond Examiner Sept 81
Sixteen merccnaries reached this city on Saturday
evening from Western Virginia, were consigned to

Cross Lanes, and regarded with evidently uneasy appre-
hcnsons the unexpected realization of their con to Rich

Eleven Of Iincolns captured mercenaries with that
aptitude for fight which has become Yankee plcl-
arity, managed sometime during Friday night sup
posed to escape from the tobacco warehouse in which
they were confined, and are doubtless vigorously

Three Yankee prisoners, who escaped about two weeks

THE VOLUNTEER FUND-FRAUDS UPON THE

The case of Julia Borland, who Is charged with
having drawn double her allowance from the volunteer

enteenth and Eighteenth ward relief Offices demands tho
attention Of the proper authorities. In this single

$40 and how many similar there yet undetccted
remains to be discovered There is knowing how
many Mrs Borands there in the city, and 1t would
be well perhaps for the relief officers in the various
wards to examine their books carefully and compare
notes 10 avoid the duplicating OF app-
cants namos, and protect the fund from similar
frauds. The officers who have this relief fund
trust cannot be too rigid in their examination Of tho
claims Of applicants. Impostors, both male and female,
