ADMISSIONS OF PRISONERS.
Among the prisoners is ii member of Il Mas
s.chusets regiment who remained behind
when The Grand ArnE took its fight, with
the pralsewortly purpose Of nursing the sick
Yankees in the hospital at Meadow Station,
on tue York River Railroad. He seemed very
DESTROYS of entering into conversation with Il
party of gentlemen who visited that place u
day or two Gpee, and his loquacity proved him
to be something of Sir Oracle among his fell
lows. Great was his astonishment, according
TO his own account, to find the spirit of "Se-
cesh'' SO rampant, in Virginia; he had been led
10 believe that vast majority of the people
were anxious TO return TO their allegiance, and
We're only waiting for McCiellan's arrival TO
throw OFF the yoke imposed upon them by JEFF
Davis and his followers. This, he said. was
the general impression throughout the Federal
ranks; ard if he were only once more safe at
home, he would never be caught in such trap
again This man, and others of the party lone
of whom claimed to be a native of Richmond,
freely acknowledged that McClellan's army
had suffered a most disastrous rout.

Regiment to Virginia they were ieted and

being united with thieves and vagabonds in a
msral,liug and piuuderiug expedition ags.ins
their hosts they were also appropriately re
