Yesterday vas q busy day at Camp Douglas,
Three trains, loaded with prisoners, arrived
on Saturday, numbering in all {, ,217 men. They
are from Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and
Arkansas regiments, and are part Of those
taken ut Island No. 10. They are rather
hardy looking set Of men, and, Us whole,
We arc inclined to think, present rather
better appearance than the first batch received.
The following is correct list of the men as
far as made out:
Hume's Tennessee Artillery-z5 men.
Crew of Floating Battery-37 men.
Jackson Artillery-1S men.
Washington Arttllcry-23 men.
40th Provisional Tennessee regiment,
18th ArkanEas regiment
1st Alabama regiment.
18th Tennessee-e16 men.
11th Arkansas regiment.
Nelson's Artillery
46th Tennessee regiment.
There ase also stragglcrs, few in numbers,
from other regiments. The crew Of the
floating battery were styled "New Orleans
Pe]icans," are composed partly Of seamen
and partly Of landsmen, and are rough-look-
ing set OF fellows.
Two women also came up with the prison
ers, delivering themselves up and claiming to
be prisoners Of war. They have been washing
for the officers OF regiments On the Island.
One Of them, on her arrival at camp, came to
Col. Mulligan's quarters, affectingly stating
that she had been washing for Gen. Trudeau
and other officers on tie Island for some time,
for which, probably by mistake IN the conf1-
sion Of leaving, they had omitted to pay her
and wished to know If the Colonel could not
aid her some way in getting her pay. She was
told that General Trudeau should be sent for
in the matter directly, with which she went
away perfectly satisfied, only dropping in once
later in the day to Know If he had arrived.
They are both wives Of privates who we're
On the Island.
It was intended to forward part of the
prisoners already arrived here to Madison.
but Us no arrangements had been completed to
furnish guard, those nov here will probably
remain, while others to arrive in the course
| Of the week will be forwarded to Wisconsin,

| In regard to the stories circulated through
the city Of women visiting the Camp to sym
pathise with and furnish luxu1ics to the pris-
o4@s, we have 1t on undoubted authority that
RtEe is no truth whatever in them. That

and Of female pride. and dclicacy as to 70 to
the gates and end eayor by every means in their
power, honorable and in some cases dishonor-
able, to obtain access to the prisoners there

however, have they been successful, and in
these only through deception One case in

she was detained at the camp until the next
day. when, after showing satisfactorily who she
was, and giving assurance that such thing
should not be again attempted, she was re
leased.
