| A letter in the Courier from Richmond says:
| By special train, this afternoon, one hundred
and fifty Federal prisoners, confined here since the
| Manassas fight, will leave for Charleston. Twenty
| five of the number are officers prominent among
whom are Colonel Corcoran. Sixty ninth Irish New
York regiment; Colonel Nef, of the bogus Ken
| lucky regiment, and Major Potter. During the
last weeks the fresh arrivals of prisoners from
the Potomac and Western Virginia have over
| crowded the prisons. Latterly the old settlers
like Col. Corcoran have become exceedingly
restive, and, on more than one occasion, an out
| break has been apprehended. The War Depart
| ment has concluded to send of the worst OF the
| malcontents to the South. Some will go to New
Orleans and some to Charleston Yesterday the
| latter detachment were notified OF their lntehueu
| removal. Immediately visions of yellow fever
lynch law and sudden death passed before theif
heated imag nations. The vulgar and unmannefiy
Corcoran was particularly indignant. They made
so much fuss about the matter that the guard were
| hInl iIirtn he iUb
| taken to keep the prisoners within bounds. ,
| They will be confined, understand, III Castle

kind treatment to the unarmed. Some OF 'the

and are deserving OF some consideration as long q
