Government had notified him that should it be found
necessary to evacuate the city, the French tobacco
must be destroyed with the rest. AT the same time
the Rebels offer to pay for la proposition not much
reished by the Frencbmen.
THE RUMoRED INTERVENTION.
The French Minister discredts the rumors Of Eu-
opean intervention in our affair. and it is generally
thought here that, whatever purposes may have been
entertained by England and France, the news fron
ew-Orleans will cause their indefinite postpone

REPORTS FROM REBELDOM BY RELEASED
PRISONfRS
The SSJ prisoners recently released from be Rich-
mOnd PRISONS will arrive here by way of the Poto-
mac tomorrow. A few who came through Balti-
more arrived here tc-cay. Tley say that the Rebels
are as determined as ever, and believe that after the
Two great impending battles they will, if whipped,
band together in small guerrilla parties and fight 20
The very last.
They represent the treatment'of our prisoners as
barbarous in tue extreme. They believe that our
officers who alone remain il tie prisons all the pri-
Yates having been set free, will not be released at
sll. Col. Corcoran's beajh is good. He is anxious
10 be released and contradicts the statement made
some time since, that he said he would prefer
naming where he Ii, believing that he could be Of
rlore servee there, and adds that the only way IN
which be wishes to serve his country is on the battle
Ged.
Col. Bowmans health is failing rapidly, and lis
eyesght is nearly lost. lie can survive his present
treatment but few weeks longer His long
srement bss affected his mind go much that be at
shines is looked upon as insane. The Rebels offered
every inducenent TO prisoners to Join tier army but
only two have done So viz, John A. Wicks,
Qu4reImaster of the Congr IS, and private of the
9Th Ohio. named Wilson.
As soon ar il became known to the prisoners that
Wilson intended to desert them, they proceeded 10
hang him. TIE guard, however, entered, and in
time to cut him down before life was extin.,. In
punishment Of this act the prisoners put upon
bread and water for ten days.
The Quarermsster is now the Plymouth.
For while he was in charge of the prison and
treated Biz late fellow prisoners in the most cruel
manner. AT one time, while on guard, he discharged
bis piece at some Of tie prisoners who Were stand
ing in frcst of a window, aud aunting him with his
treason. The ball ps..ed through two Aoor into
room containing 800. Fortunately none were in-
jured
Those of the returned prisoners with whom
bsve ccnyersed ssy at when first taken prisoners
they were Pro-Siavery ID, mocrais, but are now ABB
oitionots. When they ii4t enl.lied, it TO save
their country; but when ,hey enlist a. ain, which
will be soon, and to nsn, they will not only fight
for their country bu to aycryc the cruel wrongs in
fc;ed upon themselyes aud ,leir fellowfrisoners.
WILL THE RUNNING REBELS FIGHT

McCleilans staff expressts in letter received here
today the opposite view.
