After some little delay, the prisoners were marched
into Mayos factory, corner Of Iweniy-iltth and
Cary street, where they will have ample opportu'

occupants of another prison in the neighborhood
crowded the windows TO get view OF this large re-
enforcement, but the spectacle did not 20 afford
them much qualification.
The special train in the morning brought informa-
on that another LOT OF the Leesburg prisoners were
behad, and preparations were accordingly made tC
receive them. A guard, commanded by Lieut. Laws
of the 18th Georgia regiment, repaired to the Cen
tral Depot in the afternoon. The mail train arrived

conversed freely with the prisoners but rudenes
