SEEING THE PRIsoSERs UNDER DIFFICUL
TiEs.-A young man, in his anA iety to get
a good sight at the prisoners on Saturday,
followed them, fell to the rear of their
long line, and marched with them through
the big gate INTO Camp Morton, But his
curiosity got the better OF his judgment,
for while marching with the prisoners he
got mixed up with them in su ch man
ner that the guards refused to let him go,
and actually held him prisonef with the
others until Sunday Iu vain did he per
sist that he was Union man, a citizen of
this place, and only there out of @motives
of curiosity. They would not believe his
story, and he was marched off to quarters
When rations were served out, he was so
mad that he would not take his share or
eat ANYTHING But when night came upon
him he qu ed down and bunked with a
sac.sh. In the morning lie succeeded in
getting the ear OF the officers of the post
and through the influence Of some OF the
leading citizens outside, who vouched fer
the truth of his statements, he was re-
leassd.-Inaiaaapots State .]ournol 81.

quainted with Pamlico Sound (otf the
coast of North Carolina) is no easy matter.
A few days since Commodore eGoldsborough
had an interview with some of she in
habitants there with view to getting one
to assist in the pilotage of the fleet. These
men are, of course, Unonists, but how far
their patriotism goes will be evinced by
the following abstract Of conversation
which ensued between the Commodore
and one of them;

A Terrible state of Things in western
Virginia.

From the Wheeling Inteiligencer.
Gov. Pierpont has received letters from
Hardy, Hamshire, u Pocahontas counties,
which give most fearful accounts of the
condition of things in these and adjoin-
ing counties. Notwithstanding the efforts
of the Federal army in Hampshire and
Hardy counties the rebels are robbing and
carrying off Union men to such an extent
that the country is almost depopulated-
The letters say that if the thrIeving rebels
a:e not soon caught or killed, 1t will be
impossible to organize court or assess ana
collect taxes, for they are robtinG the
country of all the taxable property
A gentleman who has just returned
| from tour through Pocahontas county,
writes from Huttonsvilie that there are

CAPTAIN. They have murdered seven Union
citizens in that vicinity during the last
! month, and threaten to murder others
There are hundreds of Union men there
who wolld fight for the Union if they had
arms. The rebels have about 400 men at
Lewis sburg, under command of one Cap
tain McNeel. The writer is persuaded
that >, 1000 Federal soldiers could 90 and
capture all the rebel forces at liuttOns-
Vile, Lewisburg and W bite Sulphur, and
with the aid of loyal citizens safely hold
the country. A rebel Court was held at
Huttonsvile last week and the magis-
trates were compelled to levy a tax upon
the people to pay for the slaves who have
recently ran away from Pocahontas coun-
ty. Drafting was to commence soon, and
the people were determined to resist to
