/ WASHINGTON, October 9-Amonr The ar.
rivals, to-day, is Captain T. G. Young, direc
from Richmond, having left there Thursday, by
| a flag of truce down the james river. He, with
| Major Barney, Of New York, were captured on
the 2lst Of September, while on horseback
| tour IN the vicinity of Bull Run, by the 30th
| Virginia cavalry, under Colonel Chambloss, a
! graduate Of West Point. The prisoners spent
four days pleasantly, on the way TO Richmond
and were treated kindly and Hospitality by their
/ captOrs aud By all whom they met on the Teute
/ The cavalry regiment Of Colonel ChamblOss
was handsomely mounted and uniformed, aud
fully equipped. There appeared TO be an sbuBd-
snce of salt -four, fresh beef, aud shoes among
the soldiers, and good discipline prevailed.
They treated each other with great kindness and
courtesy No whisky drinking or card playing
was allowed. Much comment is made by the
rebel troops as TO the careless manner in which
our dead were buried on the plains Of Manassas.
All the rebel soldiers denOunce General Pope,
| but speak N the most complimentary terms of
Mcclellan. The country districts are exhausted
OF food for man aud beast, and, in consequence,
apprehensiOns exist of great distress among the
! people during the coming winter Everybody
has plenty of paper money of all descriptions
and denominations The treatment Of Federal
prisoners at Libby Prison has been changed for
the better, and those confined with Capt. Young
had no cause to complain. He, with thirty
others, were put in a large room, and were at
tended by the guards and servants with marked
| kindness. Rations were served regularly, and
a suter constantly present. The morning pa
! pers were served at daylight
/ Colonel Daniel Ullman, Lieutenant-Co Colonel
/ Brown, Of New York, and about seven hundred
others arrived at Annapolis to-day, having left
! Richmond Tuesday morning. The rebel troops
/ are rapidiY receiving their new uuifOTuz con
sisting Of dark grey jacket and light blue pants.
| There is no lack of arms, and they have more
! cannon than can be used. The general impress
| sion among them is that the war will not end
| till the expiration of LincOin's term of service.
Everybody, however, is sick of hosiilities, and
! the troops desire to return TO their homes yet
one constantly hears the remark, q You may ex-
/ terminate us, but you cannot su6iugate us'
| The new Merrimac is net yet finished. Eight
! dollars a bushel was asked for sweet potatoes.
/ Rye coffee and sugar brought dollar per pound
each. There is little or no mOlasses on sale.
! Tin driuking cups sold for seventy-five cents
each, snd all other necessaries in proportion.
Major Barney is still detained at the Libby
prison. Captain Young was released uncOn-
ditionally.
