Port Hudson, was captured by our scouts
at private hoisse near Clinton, La, on the
2dinst. He was started ION to Richmond"
and arrived there Saturday and va, COM
.mitted to Libby prison. The following is
an item in the gentlelnan's career worth
mentioning at this time
When Gen. Bragg evacuated Pensacola
he burnt the mills aud lumber belonging to
Thomas Murray & Co The Yankees at
forwards took possession of the place and
held the proprietors Of the mill res onsib 9
for what Bragg had done. and Mr. Batch
elor onelot the firm, was seized and COM
dned in Fort Pickeps, and was only re-
leased short time since Gen Neil Dow
took possession Of his place, and bis wife
ard children were compelled to remove fifty
miles and seek protection on her negro
plantation. In the meantime, Gen. Neil
Dow stole her piano and parlor furniture
and sent them TO his wife When the ar
ticles were demanded and the matter was
Investigated, Gen. Dow confessed to the
theft, but the articles were never returned
nor paid for. These are facts
From the following paragraph in the At
lanta (Ga) Constttutioaali$t we should
Judge that Neil is playing for an cz-
change:
Brig. Gen Neil Dow, ofthc Maine Law
fame, recently captured in Mississippi,
passed through this city last night on his
way T. Richmond. He expressed himself
10 one Of our citizens who travelled with

from the despotism Of Secession but he
was satisfied that there are few Union peo-
pie III the South, and goes home (when he
does goJ utterly opposed to a war Of coer-
cion. He said be was aware Of the OUT
RACES committed b. Federal troops, bul
they were contrary to the wishes and or.
ders Of the officers; but the army being
composed chiefly Of the scam oftke North
I the refuse population Of Europe aud the
United States they would plumber and rob
in spite Of their officers.

Gen Buclner has issued an order an
/ nouncing that the Government at Rich
mond does not recognize the paroles givel
to officers and soldiers captured by tb
4 Yankee forces under Saunders, in their re
cent raid In Tennessee, and ordering al

official sources, the Yankee Generals ii

given BY our officers, in eases where W,
held positions that might have enabled u
TO secure the prisoners According to tn,
usHges OF civilized warfare, paroles on til,
battle field are not binding, because tb
prisoners captured, before they are removed
to p.ace Of security, are at any momen
likely to be recap ured. Much more il
this the case IN mere raid, where It woul,
be almost Impossible for the raiders to car
ry of prisoners.
