ARRIVAL OF THE FLAG SHIP MINNESOTA. -
The North Carolina Rebel Prisoners ~
This Port.
The steam rigate Minnesota carrying the broad PEN
nan Of Commodore Sias H. Stringham, which has borne
30 conspicuous part in the capture Of Forts Hatteras
and Clark, the North Carolina coast arrived IN this
harbor about nine O'Clock yesterday morning. The Min
nesoa has board six hundred and prison
Of that surrendered to forces under MAJOR
General Benjamin f. Butler, to which they rans-
ferred from the Adelaide.
When the Minnesota was first signazed coming up the
Narrows, and the elcgraphcd the city thou
lands Of our citizens focked to tho Battery to
catch glimpse Of the vessel, and If, perchance,
some of the prisoners board Tho French steamer
Ctnat, lying in the stream, fired salute of fifteen guns
as the Minnesota passed her, in honor Of Tho gallant
Commodore Stringham, also all the forts in the har
bor The veteran officer pushed cut in boat 10 tho
shore, and on reaching terra rma shortly after the
frgate came to anchor he was greeted with the most
unbomdea enthusiasm. The Commodore Immediately
set out for his home in Brooklyn to visit his family,
whom he had not for several months In his alb
from tho vessel the command devolvcs upon Capt
Case, who allowed person to board under any
pretence whatcuer.
The hrong of spectators the Battery continued until
dark, it expected that the prisoners would be-
transferred to of tho Notifications during the day
Tho vessel itself seemed to be attraction and with tho
exception Of being somewhat weather beaten pro-
scented very neat appearance. The dsribu-
ted all around tho deck and tho steady tramp of the
marine guard on board, nothing here and there
strange uniform could be deserted, which evidently be-
longed Of the rebel prisoners, taking advantage Of
the indulgence of the Commodore in allowing them 10
come deck occasionally
The reason why these prisoners arc brought into this
harbor is in accordance with order issued that
effect by the Secretary of the Navy Welles and further
MORE because forts offer greater security for the safe
keeping Of prisoners than any other works Of tho
kind During the day United States Marshal Robert Muir

domicled at Fort lafayette. Al this place they will
keep company with his Honor Mayor Berret, fWashng

him in that respect lie appears salen aud melancholy,
but still he maintains dgnaed, respectful and apprcc
