Special Dispatch to the Memphis Appeal.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1862-03-20

On Sunday morning the Federal prisoners at Mem
phls were sent off on the Memphis and Charleston Rail
road to Tuscumbia, Ala. They composed portion of
the Yanks taken at Belmont and a portion sent here
from Fort DonesOn, and numbered in all about two
hundred and thirty-seven. They placed in charge
OF a company Of sixty Alabamians. Judging from
their appearance they in good health but in spirits
very much Cast down. Although many applications
have been made to gain admission to their quarters for
the purpose Of seebg and convesng with the prisoners
but few have succeeded in getting pass. That
right. 1t is not very pleasant to prisoner to be
stared at it he belonged to menagerie by visitors
and sinners great these Yankees are should be left
and loneliness of their prsonhouse will asten repentance
upon their evil hearts strong that when they return
to their homes in the North they will not Es likely tC
join another abolition raid for the purpose of murder
ing and plundering the free citizens Of this glorious
Confederate Government.
There very large crowd gathered at the prison
and it between and IL O'Clock before the prison
ers moved off towards the depot AS they passed along
the Streets lady stepped to her door and shook bel
fist at them and sad Oh you rascas you murdered my
son. and | will be revepged you yet" The croWe
that followed them the depot made ill-natured
marks about bem and many of the prisoners expressed
regret on leaving Memphis their quarters were 81
good and their treatment go kind and courteousmuc
better than they had hoped it would be. Captain
Adams the commandant of the post, prepared plenty
for them to eat while their way to Alabama. Ih
few moments the cars remained at the depot alter tn
