ABR1EAL OF TIE HEssIANs.- Another detach-
meht OF prisoners arrived in the city last evening
by special train on the Jackson Railroad. They
numbered 24G, and were guarded by detach
ment OF the Eighteenth Georgia Regiment, of
about so men, under command Of Capt Stuart.
The prisoners are of about the same class as the
others which arrived here on Monday-a rather
rough looking set-and were marched directly to
the Parish Prison, much to the dissatisfaction of
the crowds which lined the streets through which
the Mondays show was made. The detachment of
Georgia troops was escorted to the City Hotel by
Major Bartlett, of the Beauregard Battalion, which
turned out in force for this honor able service
The Georgia troops, though just off from most
arduous duty, gave evidence of a high state Of dis
cip'ine, and are undoubtedly a crack body of
men .'' ".-.
