CORRECT LIST OF THE NAMES.

James river, about nine miles beyond Newport
News, where the rebel steamer Northampton
was met with the Union prisoners from Ricl
mond. They stepped on board, under the pro.
teotion Of the national flag, as the roll Of their
names was called, and suoh happy looking mon
are seldom to be seen. Cheer after cheer
arose from each boat ~ they approached, and
the band Of the Fourth artillery played "Sweot
Home" which added TO the enthusiasm.
As the boat passed Newport News, the crews
Of the United States steam frigates Cumberland
and Congress manned the rigging, and the
troops at Camp Butler crowded the beach and
the wharves, and sent over tho water their
shouts Of welcome.
They were taken to Fortress Monroe, where
they were put upon boat for Baltimore,
where they arrived on Saturday morning.
They we're met at the wharf by large crowd
Of Union men, who took them In charge, and
after marching them through several streets,
went to the rooms Of the Union Relief Assooia.
,ion, where an excellent breakfast awaited
them, got up by the Union citizens Of 3alt-
more. From three to Ave thousand persons
were in the vicinity of the rooms, all anxious
to get glimpse Of the prisoners.
At ten O'Clock, Con. Dix and stan made their
| appearance at the rooms, and were greeted
| with repeated cheers by the soldiers.
They give n sad report Of their treatment
| while in the hands Of the rebels at Richmond,
and declare that before they would be taken
again they would put an end to their existence.
| They also corroborate the statement that the
prisoners were shot by the rebel guards at
| every opportunity that presented itself. They
were in the second story of the building, and
often shots would be fred on the first floor, the
| bullets penetrating through the ceiling into
their apartments, wounding or killing some Of
| them. II they went near the window, they
we're sure of being shot at by some one on the
outside of the building, and often by the senti.
| nels.
| They state that they did not get any portion
| of the clothing sent down BY our Government
for them, nor have they seen II. As they all
needed clothing, they were supplied by the
Quartermaster's Department at Fortress Mon.
