THEY ARE RECoGNIzED AS PRISONERS OF WAR
TwENTY-NINR or THEM TRANSFERRED FROM THE
TONES TO FORT LAFAfE'TE-EAME5 or THE fhi-
s0NERs, ETC.
Government having determined 10 recognise southern pr
vateesmen hands as prisoners Of twenty nine
OF them who have been confined the Tombs and whose
names we give below were yesterday afternoon trans
ferred ON our City Prison Fort Lafayette, on board
Of the Harbor Police boat. This action of the govern
ent will give universal satisfaction all for the reason
that there is now strong hope OF again seeing the
gallant Corcoran aud his other heroic comrades soon
returned TO the of their friends and comrades This
policy will leave loop hole for the rebels III which
thrust forth any objection tho Union
prisoners, whom they have placed many stringent
and cxorbitant demands as TO exchange
The fact becoming known yesterday morning mat the
prisoners were about being removed large crowd Of
persons visited the Tombs many personal friends of
tho privaeersmen congratulated them upon the change
which wac about taking place in their condition The
prisoners themselves appeared highly delighted
at the news, and expressed sentiments Of
PIE sure that they should shortly again behold
"the land Of Dixe,' their sympa,hies for that
locality being evidently quite as strong in every respect
as heretofore. Among those most enthusiastic in their
"parioc' emotion for the rebel the men Of
the privateer Savannah. II may be remembered that
this latter vessel the on board OF which the negro
Tlmann killed the captain and seaman, there
by rescuing the Savannah from the hands Of the rebels
and bringing her safe and sound into this harbor These
men have been confined in the Tombs since their arrival
New York and the solitude and monotony of their
hnement has lent expression to their featu
Several ladies' called during the day the Tobs bear
ing presents TO tho privaeersmen, for which Kindness
they expressed themselves quite grateful. The
where the prisoners confined well ventilated
spacious and healthy that their to the South
they cannot complain OF being confined in tobacco
houses subjected to the brutality and esng Of an in
solent mob. They will bear with them, il they do not
speak falsely the fact that they have been treated
imbued with feeling and not brucs possessed Of in
sensibity At about two o'clock they conducted
under escort from the Tombs on board Of the boat,
which conveyed them to Fort Lafayette. They were in
charge OF Deputy Marshal Horton Lee and Burt toge
thor with large number Of the Harbor police On their
arrival at Fort Lafayette the prisoners handed
to Colonel Burke the commander OF that place.
